treated and the Ethiopian army, the first organized one in action since the Italian conquest, entered the town through the smoke, now made denser because the Italians had set fire to their fuel, ammunition and equipment dumps.
 The Philippians had rifles and nla- chin eguns they had captured from the Italians in previous swirmishes before they were organized as a fighting force, or which had been handed over by Ethiopians who de- serted from the Italian army.
 Important Town
 Danghela is an important junc- tion town for the caravan route from Gallabat, on the Sudan from tier, to Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia, and Asmara, capital of Eritrea. It is about 90 miles from the great Italian base of Debra Marcos, whose lyoss would force the Italians from the entire Lake Tana area and perhaps from all north- wesetrn Ethiopia.
 Before the Italian conquest 0t Ethiopia, Danghela had been town with permanent population of about 100. But Royal Air Force photographs had shown that the Italians had developed it into an important base with an airfield- the same field which British ex- perts had marked out for use by Ethiopia before the Italian Ethiopian war. Photographs showed wooden barracks outside the town proper, and the Italian-made high way leading to Gallabat and Debra Markos stood out clearly.
 The town, like many others in Ethiopia, is in a grove of eucalyp- tus trees. It is about 1000 feet above sea level. It has natural hot springs. Most of the houses are round, with matched roofs. There was & stone church which the Italians made into an ammunition depot and which the Royal Air Force blew up.

 City officials remain confident that when they explain the purpose of the measure and the city's flnan- cial situation to the committee in March that approval will follow. The city,s chief obstacle is its plan for deferred payment of the princi- pal of the bonds, a moratorium be- ing desired for at least twelve years when the payments would start. This is compensated for by the fact that payments would be completed with in relatively short period.

Early End War Is Not Expected

LONDON. Aug. - British War Secretary Margesson tod the British people last night that they could not expect an early end of the war despite German reverses in Russia. In speech al New Castle-on-Tyne, calling for an additional 100000 women war workers, Margesson said that Nazi set-backs in Russia were causing dissatisfaction both at the front and at home, but he added:
 There is no chance of a speedy and good end of the war, and not for a long time will there by a return to the old peaceful life. The German arm- ies are tough material. In the World War their losses were heavy but they managed to re- cover"
 The war secretary said Britain must meet Germany's greater re sources in man power wy using more women in war work. He said that women war workers must not feel that they are not wasting their time because they employed in humble jobs. Said Captain Margesson:
 Some enc must peel the pota- toes, wash the dishes and oil the ship of state. The big jobs car not be done unless someone does the little ones."

Gold Braid Now
 Produced In US.

SEATTLE, Aug.-Perhaps yor hadn't noticed it, but the U. S Navy's exparsion program which is normally though of ir terms of planes and battleship: and submarines, also extends to the highly important commod, ity of gold-lace.
 Highly important? Yes, be- cause about 10000 yards of it, or ten sea miles, are used yearly for stripes and insignia on the naval officers uniforms.
 Most of it, particularly the best grades, was made in France before and during the war.
 When Herr Hitler's arnIies moved into France, they effect ually strangled the major sup ply of gold stripes and insignia for American navy officers blue and white uniforms.
 That was why the Navy De partment, on it's own hook, un- dertook to encourage production of gold lace by American manu- lecturers.
 And so successful was the 'ex- pansion' program in the gold lace industry, that now the De- partment announces the export for the first time in history, of American gold lace to the Meth erlands East Indies, to Canada, and to South America.

What It Means
 If Japan Gets Into New War
Bv MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON Aug. - Japan has about 8 year of high speed military and naval warfare un- der her belt, despite her costly excursion into China.
 That's the consensus of the mil itary economists.
 And they ngura Japan's first move, f she's wise, will NOT be into the Dutch East Indies, nor ye. again into Siberia (provided the Russian army is not destroy ed ;n the West). They assume Japan wou d strike for Burma and the upper part of the Malay Peninsula.

The reasons why the experts figure Japan has her eyes now on the British Empires Burma and Malay,a are four-fold:
 1.-The Japanese Army and navy could operate jointly, the army moving through Thailand and the navy along the China coast and forced. merely to hold off, not attack, the fleets of the enemy.
 2.-Great ritain would be hard put to muster as much military force as the focal points of Bur- ma and Malaya, as could Japan.
 3.-Politically the argument of the United States that any fur ther move by Japan would men, ace the raw materials we need in the Dutch East Indies, would be partly answered if Japan avoided direct thrust at our security. For British possessions would be menaced instead.
 4.-Most important, Japan would find in Burma and upper Malaya much of the oil, tin and rubber she needs to prolong her war staying power to two years, perhaps indefinitely.
The Nome nugget., 1941-08-27

Surprisingly, Japan $ well sup piled with many of the 10 basic necessities. In food, she's 100 per cent: electric and machine pow CT, 100 percent; iron and steel, c5 (counting her conquest of Manchuria and part of China) nachinery, 75; war chemicals, 90; ccal, 100; oil, 15 Qargey syn thetic, some shale, and wells on Sakhalin and Taiwan); alum mum, 2 (most y stock piles) rubber, 1.2 (mostly synthetic).
 Reliable authorities here sus- pect the oil production of Brit aims Burma probably exceeds 5,0-0,0o0 tons annually, rather than 100000, the figure current in the oil trade.
 The military economists as- sume Japan needs 10,000,000 tons of oil a year in a major war. Last year she imported more than 5,0c0,000 tons from the United States and the Dutch East Indies She produced herself probably 1,500,O00 tons.
 Thus Burma could supply about half of Japan's requirements for war. Furthermore, the Japanese in 1888 mapped out stepped-up schedule of synthetic oil produc- ton from coal, with the help of German technicians. They intend to produce about 3,000,000 tons by 1943, but they are believed to be far short of their goal.
 Although Japan lost heavily of both men and materials in her Chinese war, the experts assume her manpower is ample for fur ther battle. Nearly a half million Japanese youths reach military age annually.

The military economists limit Japan's staying power against a major world pomer to one year because the island empire still ranks last among the big-five world powers in the 10 basic es- sential resources.

A NEW PLANT FOR DEFENSE

1t is almost impossible for any citizen
to visualize the immense progress the
United States is making toward adequate
defense.
One of the most significant phases of
this preparation is the construction of new
plants to produce weapons, munitions and
supplies. 1t is impossible to keep up with all
construction, but, occasionally, the news
papers tell of spectacular achievement.
An example of this is the plant recent
ly opened in Connecticut to produce power
full, armor- piercing machine-guns. Six
months ago, vacant lot was selected as
the site of the plant which is now producing
more than 1900 weapons month.
The gun in production was designed
by Carl G. Swtibilius, well-known pro-
Queer of automatic weapons. 1t is so
calibre-type machine-gun, firing $50 bull
lets per minute. Each slug, half-inch in
diameter, and almost two inches long,
leaves the muzzle of the weapon with a
velocity of 1850 feet per minute.
The plant is now working on a contract
to provide $4,000 weapons for the British
1t began operating less than seven months
after the contract was discussed, because
the company did not wait for new machine
tools but took used machinery wherever
available and rebuilt it when necessary In
fact, some of the machinery used in the
factory came to the United States from
France after the fall of that country to the
Nazi invaders.

FOR MORE DAYLIGHT

Key West couldn't impose local day
light saving time without causing certain
amount of confusion, but if sentiment in
favor of the time change ever reaches
point where it can be made statewide, the
experiment will be boon to workers IN
this city.
Partially from the fact that universal
daylight saving would cut power consump-
ton, Floridians this year are considering
the change more seriously than before
and many citizens of Florida have felt for
years that summer time would be benefit.
If it's done at all, it probably would be
by decree of Governor Holland, based on
the power saving feature.
Actually, since the power saving isn't
an important factor here-at least not from
the standpoint of defense-Key West sup
port for the change would have to come
from the very good motive that daylight
saving would provide citizens of this city
more enjoyment during the summer months
At this time of year, the sun rises at
about 5 80 a. M, which, since the average
worker starts his daily chores at about or
8 80 o'clock, means that from 212 to 3
hours of daylight either is spent in sleep or
getting up and out. s
Sunset now comes at about Z o'clock
or approximately hours after the average
worker has finished his Job for the day.
and usually, is seeking some outdoor re-
creation and sunshine.
Thus, by setting the time back an hour,
the worker would waste an hour less of his
morning daylight in sleep or getting up,
with another hour after work to be spent in
daylight before the sun starts down.
Individual cities do use daylight saw
ing when the territory around does not, but
it's bit confusing when you have to catch
a train Change the time all over the state,
and there would be no reason against it.
