point in claiming a shortage.

More Neglect

Furthermore. Mr.. Davies neg
lected 10 announce that the east
ern stocks Of crude oil (which
can be refned) increased 1875, 900
barrels TO 14,253,000 barrels the
week before the stocks of gas
declined. He mentioned the total
but not the fact that it was an
increase.
This means crude stocks In
creased 100000 barrels day just

What is more, Mr.. Davies fig

do not include the filled tanks of

bulk plants of the major oil COM
panieS.
One Washington iobber for in=

gallons, ordinarily has carried only

around Washington are going to

Figures Cut Up

figures considerably to get his
headline that only 10 days sup

about 100000 barrels OF gas is

no reason for him To announce if.

fact that the Germans have been
denied, as to the Russians that sur
prise by tactical method" which was
so greatly to their advantage in
Poland, Norway, the Low Countries,
and France.
The Russian staff has not been
wasting its time this past year, and
whatever the final outcome of the
campaign, we may we'll draw from
the Russian achievements so far
the salutary lesson that We cannot
win in 194l a war fought by the
methods Of a quarter of a century
ago.
Russians Show Fighting Quality.
Denied this advantage, denied the
aid of fifth column activities behind
the lines, the remaining German
advantages-air superiority, better
communicat tions, better administra-
ton and supply-have not served to
offset the fighting qualities of the
Russian soldier and the Russian
superiority in armored fighting
vehicles.
Air superiority may now be af-
fected by the necessities of the
western front. Better communica-
tions remain, but the German sup
ply problem becomes more and more
difficult with the approach of bad
weather and the Russian guerilla
activities. Much doubtless depends
on the ability Of the Russians to
bring up additional masses of re-
serves. and on this point there is
serious doubt both because of trans
portation facilities and the defects
in the organization and equipment
of the Russian reserve units.
We ought not to indulge in wish
full thinking, even now. Still less
ought We to think of the time af-
forded us by the unexpected quality
of the Russian fighting as q
breathing spell" or as anything else
than a golden opportunity to be ex-
plotted with all our energy while
we still possess it.
But if it has done no more for us
than to explode the sickening myth
of German invincibility, of the
hopelessness of resistance to the
mighty Wehrmacht, it has done
much. Our mental atmosphere will
be the healthier and our spirits the
stouter to face the trials that lie
before us on the long road to vic
tory.

gambler to recoup his losses by
doubling the stakes. and frequently
meet with the fate usual to a
gambler in that mood of reckless
ness.
However, Germany probably dis
poses of considerable reserves in
Central and Western Europe which
can be called on to some extent
without undue weakening of the
control of the occupied countries
and it may very well be that a new
German offensive may succeed. Ger
tanly such an offensive must be
tried, and tried quickly. Should
August pass without a marked
change in the German favor, the
German cause at home and abroad
might suffer seriously indeed.
What seems clear enough is that
the Russian Army owes its present
degree of success to careful studies
of German methods of attack, and
preparation of the proper plans and
means for dealing with them. For
the first time, the Germans have
been met by an army trained and
equipped not for the war of 1918,
but for the war of 1941. We hear
a good deal of the Russian guerilla
tactics behind the lines, but this
is not the whole explanation. Dis
tanceS, bad roads, bad weather have
played their part, but when all is
said and done the Germans have
been fought to standstill by Rus
sian Army fighting better and
harder than any army which has
hitherto faced the thunderous Ger
man onset.
Russian Tactics Effective.
Defensive positions of great depth,
stoutly held everywhere, with strong
points and centers of resistance cap
able of all round defense against
infiltration German attack; camou-
f1age of remarkable skill, enabling
the Russian artillery to go on firing
despite low-flying German air at
tack, and thus to check-as the
French artillery rarely could do
the supporting advance of German
infantry and artillery coming up
DenlnO tneN armOreQ SpearneaQS,
mobile counterattack units of armor-
ed troops, smaller than the German
panZer divisions and handled with
skill and determination against the
penetrating German panzer ele-
ments. These appear to be the in
gradients of Russian tactical sue
cesSes. To them must be added an
airforce which, numerically inferior,
stuck to its knitting with admirable
refusal to be drawn off into grandiose
conceptions of independent action,
finding its primary mission in the
support of the ground troops, both
by dealing with German air opera
tions and by giving direct support
to the movements of the ground
forces on the battlefield.

But the foundation of any majGr league baseball club these days is it's farm system.

And so the success of the Yan- kees can be traced back largely to their efficient empire of minor league clubs and to the excellent corps of scouts who discover prospects on college, sandlot and independent teams.
 The St. Louis Cardinals were the pioneers in the farm club movement. And it wasn't until a decade ago that the late Col Jake Ruppert, owner of the Yankees tired of gambling on expensive ball players bought in the oper market and acquired a chain of minor league clubs
 He picked George Weiss, then general manager of the Balti- more International League club to head his chain system. And il has been mainly through Weiss genius that the Yankees have built such fine farm system.
