Seeks to Bolster
Morale of Men
in Army
(Bv United Press)

Washington. Aug. 20 - UP
The administration was EN- barked
today on a campaign to make
Americans realize that they
have a war to win" and to bolster
morale in Army training camps.
President Roosevelt used the
words OF Abraham Lincoln, the
nations Civil. War leader. in his
appeal for an "all out" effort. ex-
planning that he felt the situation
existing today latter all is paral-
lei" with that during the Civil
War.
Mr.. Roosevelt called upon
Americans to face the grim real
ization that they are confronted
by a war that won't be won by
strategy but by hard, tough
fighting the words OF Lin
coin. He held forth the possibil!-
ty that the European conflict, now
nearing the end of its second
year, might extend through 1943.
The Army, under criticism for
failure to maintain a high level
OF troop morale, especially among
draftees and National Guardsmen.
took two significant steps to i'm
prove the situation.
Instructions were issued for the
release OF draftees and National
Guardsmen after they have served
between IA and IS months instead
OF the full 80 months authorized
by the bill signed this week by
the President. approximately 200,-
900 would be discharged prior to
Dec. 10 this year under the or
der. re immediate release is
proyi~ for certain hardship"
cases, men who were 2S years of
age or over last July !, and mar
ried men.
Frederick II. Osborn, a civilian
actively engaged in recreational
and welfare work among soldiers,
was nominated by Mr.. Roosevelt
as a brigadier general to head
the Army's morale division, re-
placing Brig. Gen. James A. Ulio,
who is ill.,
President Roosevelt told repor.
tiers at his press conference Tues.
day that Americans must awake
quickly to the fact that their
country is involved in a situation
from which II can escape only Il
the war is won.
He made his point by quoting

Marshal Bugyenny Succeeds

(By Associated Press

Adolf Hitler's invasion armies
have frightened the rims on Len
ingrad with another 50-mile ad-
vance, the Russians acknowledg-
ed today. driving to the Novgo-
rod region 100 miles south OF the
old CZarist capital.
A Red army bulletin also indi-
Gated that the Germans were be-
ginning to use air-borIe troops in
the 60-day-old conflict, reporting
that a number of big 4-motored
junkers transports loaded with
light tanks and men had been
shot down.
Coincidentally, British military
experts predicted that the Ger
mans would make an unprece-
dented use OF air-borne forces In
an attempt TO smash their way
across the formidable barrier OF
the Dnieper River, in the south
ern Ukraine.
Authoritative London quarters
said the Germans had avoided the
mass use of parachutists, troop
carrying planes and gliders-
such as they exploited in the bat
tie of Crete-to await just such
an emergency as the Dnieper
crossing.
German military dispatches
said the left wing of General Won
Rundstedt's army, estimated at
1900, 900 men, was advancing
against stiff resistance toward
the great bend of the Dnieper
River, site of the big industrial
city OF Dnieperopetrovsk.
Advices reaching London indi-
Gated that Marshal Semeon Bud
yenny had succeeded in withdraw
ing great many Of his troops
across the river, but that his for
ces were believed to be weak In
guns and depending too much on
oid-fashioned horse cavalry.
Hitler's field headquarters de-
clared that Nazi Schnelltruppen
("speed troops") were successful
ly attacking the few remaining
bridgeheads on the west bank of
the Dnieper still held by the Rus
slams, and 1t was evident that the
grand assault on the new Soviet
defense line was about to begin.
German dispatches said that
Nazi siege guns were intensifying
the attack on Odessa, Russias big
Black Sea port, and that increas-
ed pressure was also being exert
ed on kiev, the Ukraine capital.
Nazi aerial observers said Odes-
sa Harbor was Uttered with the
burned wreckage of ships.
