KIEV:

The Germans had claimed the
complete capture Of Kiev, the en-
tering of the whole city, the mop
ping up of small bodies OF die
hard troops, and the fleeing OF
Russian commanders.
On the same day the Russians,
admitting the German entry into
the Kiev suburbs, had pictured a
.battle to the DEATH" and a de-
tense of the city which was costing
the Nazis 10000 men and vast
quantities of material.
Odessa, in the south, was finding
the pressure relieved" the Reds
had reported.
In these Numerically opposing
statements, perhaps the only Light
was coming from British sources,
presumably getting information
from mission observers on the
scene, but the British reports had
been entirely gloomy.
The British had reported that an
apparent cutoff of the Crimean
peninsula had occurred, and though
they secuted the German report OF
having trapped 100000 to 00,000
Russian troops in an enlightenment
near Kiev, they saw the Russian
situation as grave indeed.
From out of all this it was evil
dent that the fall of Kiev seemed
inevitable and finally even the Rus
SLAMS admitted its fall, after what
was termed fierce fighting"

SHIPS:
Seized by u. S.

The Maritime commission, faced
with a seamen's union strike which
had immobilized some 16 ships in
six major ports, all of them vital
to the defense drive, seized two
freighters of the Alcoa corporation
in New York, and sailed them off
to Bermuda and the West Indies
with supplies for naval and air
bases.
The unions had complained to
President Roosevelt that this action
robbed them Of the right to collec-
tive bargaining. The President had
not replied, but the ships were taken
over, the Maritime commission re-
cruited crews and off they went.
The commission indicated that it
would act similarly if other cases
among the remainder of the ships
developed.
The negotiation between the men
and the ship owners was over the
question of bonuses for doing dam
gerous work.

TOR the II best years of her
r. life Sally Davis was envi-
L GUS of Martha Stevenson.
Then Martha was injured in a
motor accident and died of
lingering disease. Sally made
no secret of her sense of personal
satisfaction and triumph. Which
was worse for her-the long
years of jealousy or the cruel
pleasure in another woman's
tragedy 1T would be hard to
say. 81.
None of it hurt Martha, but it
destroyed Sally. From II to "a
she felt her life Swallowed,
twisted, spoiled by Martha's
projections, and after seventeen
years of feeling like that no
woman can ever get back to
normal. Sally will be petty,
jealous, unhappy for the rest of
her days. Once jealous always
jealous is not just an old saying;
it is a simple psychological
truth.
Not that there was anything re-
markable about Martha. A hundred
other women were prettier, smarter
and more fortunate. But Martha
was one of those maddening girls
who make other women think that
everything they have is somehow
mysteriously better than anything
anyone else has. Martha had a
way, even in high school, of dress
ing up her trips and possessions
and friends and plans that made
them seem all-important. And she
would comment upon what the other
girls had to relate in a sympa-
thetic, amused manner that seemed
| to put them into different class.
Took Martha Seriously.
Sally always took Martha serious
ly; it seemed to be her fate. She
watched Martha as cat watches
or used to watch in less hygienic
days-a mousehole. She reported
upon Martha's doings in so obvious
a mood of trembling jealousy that
they really began to seem as envi-
able as Martha tried to make them.
The school girls scattered, went
their happy, absorbed ways. But it
was Sally's destiny always to be
within sight Of Martha, and to marry
the man whose boss Martha mar
ried. Martha had a smart city
apartment; Sally lived out with Joe's
mother in the country. Martha had
one tidy little lifeless girl, and she
somehow made it seem amusing and
pitiable in Sally to have four chill
dren.
Martha attracted clever persons
to her Sunday lunches, managed a
sort of studio atmosphere, dressed
in oriental silks. Sally came in
from the farm to some of these
lunches; Joe not liking it much, but
feeling he must keep in with the
boss, the children protesting, the car
in none too good shape, Sally's
clothes not quite right, and Sally in
purgatory. To witness Martha's sue
cess and to hear her praised almost
killed Sally, but she seemed drawn
i into it as a moth to flame. Envy
had its terrible way with her, and
her very soul was corroded by it.
! When she heard that singer or
a lecturer was coming to town she
would say, II suppose Martha is
going to entertain him?" And when
she was answered that indeed Mar
tina was, she writhed mentally. II
never occurred to her that great
singers and movie actors and lee
turers all have dull wives and rela-
tives and secretaries, and that these
supposedly desirable guests can cal
up food and drink up wine in way
that sends bills skyrocketing and

weary a hostess almost to tears.
A Dull Business.
It never occurred to her that in
every town and village there are a
few women who make business OF
following up celebrities and enter
tanning them. If Sally had stopped
for a moment to think she would
have realized that these glittering
stars could have no possible interest
in Martha. They went to Martha's
house because it was cheaper and
more comfortable than the hotel
Concert tours and personal appear
ances are a dull business in strange
towns, and any amusement is well
come.
Sally never thought of what she
might have made of the farm. OF
the outdoor meals, the simple hos
pitality, the four delightful children
in sandals and sun-suits, the up
building of family life that might
have made Martha's tinsel achieve
ments seem small indeed. She
might have had Martha's tepid lit
tie girl out for visits, and have had
Martha feeling a little twinge of
jealousy in turn because Thelma pre-
ferred Aunt Sally's farm to her own
home. She might have had thou
sands of hours Of gardening, hun
dreds of picnics, years of cloudless
happiness. Instead she nTtured a
| bitter sense Of wrong; nothing that
Joe could do compared with what
Martha's husband gave her.
Sally got so that when she could
buy a new coat she must manage
that Martha saw it; she must ask
Martha casually what she thought OF
it. And when Martha said gently,
"I'm waiting until Braumann's new
coats are here; they tell me they're
going to be much palmer" Sally
promptly hated her coat and felt
like martyr because she had to
wear it.
"My children are terrible little
wild Indians!" she said to Martha,
even though in her heart she knew
they were perfect. And it stung her
soul for days when Martha said
pleasantly. "Wen, truly, think any
woman is heroic to try to bring up
four children without a nurse. l
don't think one can do any one OF
them justice"
Letter upon letter comes to me
from women who have everything
| in the world to make them happy,
who would be considered fortunate
by 80 out of every 100 women in the
world, and yet who are eating their

or real superiorities of some old
friend.

BULGARIA.:

Britain had admitted the decision

In this was seen more general
picture of the German effort, which
undoubtedly was to be threaten
ing move toward Turkey, and the
establishment of sea-borne invasion
points to 60 after Rostov and the
oil fields.
All this was tied up indissolubly
with the Russian crisis, as it was
plain Turkey would view with alarm
the Russian weakness and her own
resistance to Nazi advances would
be tempered by the strength or
weak character of Soviet military
power.
Also the effort of the British to
bring. her own and United States
material to the Russian fields
through the Persian gulf was large
" to stand or fall as a result of the
success or failure of this southern
German drive.
Hence it was that w. Averell

of rushing all possible material to

WINTER PLANS

WINTER PLANS
AS far as can be ascertained, the
most important point under dis
cussion between Hitler and Musso-
lini during their recent visit to the
Russian battle lines was plan by
which Italian troops would hold
down sizeable. portion of the Ger
man front during the Russian winter
stalemate.
Naturally, no one outside the
Fascist-Nazi high command really
knows the details of what happened.
However, Mussolini squawked so
loudly over Hitler's demands, that
their general nature leaked out in
Rome-where a lot of army leaders
are none too friendly to the Axis.
Hitler's theory, bluntly put, was
that the Italians were no good as
fighters; so during the winter months
when there was no fighting to be
done, they could move into the
trenches and protect the German
lines.
Then Hitler could ship his troops
down to Africa, and could clean up
the whole of North Africa before
spring and good fighting weather re-
turned to Russia. Hitler figured
that during the winter he could take
over all of French North Africa,
Egypt and the Suez canal, then pene-
trate to Dakar-from which he
would have a base against South
America.
1t has long been known that Hitler
realizes he has to move fast in At
RIGA and the South Atlantic, or the
United States will be strong enough
to block him.
Mussolini's reaction to this plan
was anything but enthusiastic.
Aside from the ignominy of with
drawing from Italy's proposed field
of conquest-Africa-n Duce argued
that Italian troops could not stand
Russian winters. They would die Of
pneumonia in such a rigorous eli
mate.
Whether Mussolini finally agreed
is not known.
Note: The Nazi plan apparently
is to put $4,000 Hungarian troops in
the Russian trenches during the
winter; plus 200, 600 Rumanians; plus
about $4,000 Slovaks and about $780,
600 Italians. The German army
during the winter would be reduced
to a mere skeleton of about 100000
men.
