+ CHICAGO. Aug. 28.-The Ma
tiona1s suddenly have become very
important figures in the distribution
of first division money in the Amer
lean League. without flexing q
muscle the Mats have created q
situation which rs becoming in
creasingly annoying to League Presi-
dent William Harridge.
With no more than a game and a
half separating the secon- place
Chicago White Sox and the fourth
place Cleveland Indians, Manager
Roger Peckinpaugh has protested
Harridge's ruling which awarded
Boston a forfeit victory over the
Mats in a game at Washington on
August Is.
Peckinpaugh Is Peeved.
Peckinpaugh described Harridge's s
ruling as without precedent in the
big leagues" and declared that If a
protest is upheld the game should
be played over entirely or be resumed
from the point at which it was
halted by rain.
Washington was leading the now
third-place Red Sox, 6-3, in the
eighth inning when rain stopped
the contest. Harridge ruled that
Washington violated a rule requiring
the home team to have ground
keeper and assistants available and
under control of the umpires. He
upheld a protest by Manager Joe
Cronin in awarding the game to
Boston.
Under the rules covering forfeited
games all individual and team av-

FIELD DAY:
For Britain

AS the Germans, led by Hitler in
person, turned their backs on Eng
and, the British were having an
aerial field day, running day and
night air raids with minirnal losses
in men and ships and dealing out
terrific blows to Nazi and occupied
territory.
But the Britisher in the street
was not satisfied. There was grow
ing demand for invasion of the Nazi-
held lands. This spread far beyond
the s'man in the street. angle when
one general suggested that the time
had come for chit and run" attacks
on coastal points as sure method
of wrecking the Nazis' entire build
UP for an attack on the British isles.
The general, J. F. c. Fuller, said
he understood the British had am
phibian tanks, and that If they did
have them, now was the time to
use them in cross-channel invasion
attempts.

MORALE:
The Mental Side

As to the propaganda releases,
which contained much more space
and information than did the official
news, there was every indication
that both sides in the Russo German
war believed strongly that the 9TH
er's inner morale was weak.
There were dozens Of stories from
Russian sources telling Of Nazi sol-
diers and aviators laying down their
arms, saying, 1--WE don't want to fight
against the Communists"
The Germans, on the other hand,
did not make such claims, but took
the line Of telling the world what
brave and foolhardy fighters the
Russians were, and by telling stories
Of islands to the death" to paint the
picture Of an army suffering defeat
after defeat, and letting its soldiers
fight even inside of burning build
ines until all were killed.
The purpose Of each Of these types
Of stories was to impair morale.
This caused many observers to
feel that the outcome Of the war
might well hinge on a breach In the
morale Of either side.

BOMBER:
u. S. Biggest

The taking to the air Of the BIG,
a $780, 900 airplane, and believed
the biggest bomber in the world to-
day, also the fastest and most row
erful, was an event.
Yet it disclosed that bigger and
faster ships are the rule Of the fu-
ture, and the Notwithstanding
at that.
Not SO very long ago 400 miles an
hour was a dream, and many ex-
perts declared that at 800 miles an
hour, or $50 feet per second, the
air resistance would burn up a
plane.
This was exploded when the U. S.
army announced that at Wright field
civilian test pilot Owed a plane
at the rate Of 661 miles an hour, or
968 feet a second, which Is losing
altitude almost at the speed Of
sound, which travels only 1,120 feet
a second.
The speed Of the pilot, Bob Fau-
sci, tester for the Wright company,
was mile every 5.44 seconds. Last
year Andy McDonough, an airline
pilot and an air corps reservist, flew
Bell Airacobra in a dive at $40
miles an hour.
And Capt. Ben Kelsey had piloted
Lockheed from March field, Calf,
to Mitchell field, L. l., in seven hours,
at an average Of 40 miles per hour.
The tip-otf as to the future came
from Washington, for Langley field,
already with a wind tunnel which
will test ships designed for 800 miles
an hour, is going to be revamped
to test 500-mile-an-hour ships.

REDS:
Fighting Hard

In spite of empty communicates
from both Russian and German
sources on the progress Of the war
on a 2,000-mile front between the
two former allies, one thing was evil
dent, that the Russians were fight
ing with all their might and main,
but that they were being relentlessly
pushed back before the fury Of the
German mechanical onslaught.
Bit by bit and piece by piece the
picture began to be seen, despite
the fact that both sides were bar
ring war correspondents from the
scene.
The huge front was divided into
four general parts, the far northern,
the northern, central and southern.
On the far north there was no
discernible activity. This was the
part which Germany hoped to in
wade by means Of her occupation OF
Norway.
The northern front really began
with the Finnish-Russian border,
that part of it which lies to the
southeast and separates old Finland
from the road to Leningrad. Here
the fighting was severe, but appar-
emily was mostly in the air. An
other portion Of this front lay some
what to the southwark, and included
the states of Estonia, Latvia and
Lithuania, and the Germans NOV
ing from East Prussia, were invad-
ing these territories only recently
taken over by Russia, and were slow
" forcing the Russians back into
their own territory.
Here the fighting was extremely
severe and the Russians were fore
ing the Nazis to advance slowly,
where at all.
The greatest Nazi advance was on
the central front, with the rail CEN
ter Of Minsk, reputedly lifeline"
of Russian supply between south and
north armies, as the prime apparent
objective. Here the Germans were
claiming their greatest successes,
and on the basis Of meager dis
patches, they had indeed covered
the most mileage in this district.
Yet most observers believed the
Ukraine, the southern front, was the
one the Germans coveted most. Yet
It was on this front that almost no
advance had been made, the Rus.
SLAMS claiming to hold the Prut
river, which was still considerable
distance from old Russian territory.
Thus the old Nazi ''pincers tech
nique' was evident, as it was OBJ
vious the Germans were trying to
divide the Russian defending armies
into two parts, and drive southwark
to surround and encircle the Ukraine
defenders, and to do the same vie
the Baltic states with the northern
defenders.

A FEW THOUGHTS ANENT

France of an American schoolboy.
had learned reverence for France
from school histories, and from the
same source, / had learned to twist
the tail of the British lion at every
opportunity.
In France I met and talked with
people of every social strata, from
the president, cabinet members, Of
ficers of the army and the cab driv-
ers. While there I lost all my af-
lection for France and the French
people. No single Frenchman had
kind word for any soldier of any
army of the allies other than the
French. They did not recognize any
other force as being engaged in the
war. While we, in America, were
eating dark bread and doing with
out meat a portion of the time, you
could get the best of white bread
and the best of meats in any guam
tity at any French restaurant at
any and all times.
They looked upon the soldiers Of
other nations, fighting in France, as
a source of profit for themselves.
The American soldier paid more for
what he bought than any other sol
der, because he had more money.
The French were selfish, taking all
they could get and giving as little
as possible.
Just the reverse was true in Eng
land, and I returned to America
after the close of the war with the
greatest possible admiration for the
English government and the English
people, and a radical dislike for
France and the French people.
There may be good Frenchmen
and Lafayette was one of such. II
we owed anything to France because
of Lafayette we paid it. The French
people and the French government
today are showing their true colors.
We can well afford to forget our af-
lection for France. We should re-
wise our school histories.

POWER:
For F.D.R.?

There were two distinct schools Of
thought about the problem Of grant,
ing President Roosevelt further adj
ditional personal powers in the
emergency.
The war department, according to
authorized sources in Washington,
was putting pressure on congress to
declare a state of unlimited national
emergency, step already taken
by the President, but which would
free his hands for considerable ac-
ton now barred to him by the fact
that congress has not given him the
reins.
The isolationist press attacked
this move instantly, and so did some
congressional leaders who had gen.
orally been regarded as administra-
ton stalWarts.

PLANES:
In Syria

Enthusiastic reports were begin
ming to come from Australians in
the r. A. F. in Syria and northern At
RIGA concerning the performance
and maneuverability Of American
built planes.
These, reports constituted an oddi-
ty, however, with regard to the
bombers and fighters. From north
ern Africa came glowing accounts
of the performance Of Martin-built
bombers on the ever growing
strength of Britain there.
The bombers were fast, the sights
were unusually good, and they were
wreaking havoc with Nazi and Fas-
cist planes in the air and on the
ground.
The Curtiss-built Tomahawk fight
er planes also came in for unstipted
praise, not only on the North Afri-
can front but in Syria as well.
But the Vichy French had the
same Martin bombers that the Free
French and British had in Syria, so
it was Tomahawk against the U. S.
heavier planes there.
The reports Of victory were still
optimistic in Syria, however, the
airmen reporting that the Toma-
hawks shot down the U. S. Martins
quite as well as they did the Junk
ers, Heinkels and Capronis in At
RIGA.
''The fire power of these fighters
is terrific and they have all the
speed you want" said the pilots.
