Woman's Club Notes
MRS. DAVIES DISCUSSES
BRITISH WOMEN

Mrs. Dwight L. Davis, director
of the Volunteer Service of Amer
lean Red Cross, was guest speaker
at the welfare department meet
ing, held at the home of Mrs. H.
Wendell Miller, Thursday, Novem-
Der 10.
She stressed, the important
place that British women hold to
day. Some interesting facts we1e:
Women report for duty daily,
bombing or no bombing; women
are the "nerve centers" of London
during the raids, and first aid
stations, which are huge vans,
fully equipped to operate during
blackouts, go about the cities at
the orders of underground tele-
phone service girls. Women are
trained to operate instruments and
do all but fly, those uner 80 re-
ceiving very small salaries.
Mrs. Davis urged that Ameri-
can women stress special train
ing in classes of first aid, home
nursing and canteen work, and
that they prevent waste by saving
all newspapers, cartons, and other
essential materials.

Prior to the eastward sailing there

MARSHALL:
And Draftees

Two vital questions on the home
front were brought to the fore by
General Marshall, chief of staff of
the U. S. army:
The keeping of selective service
men past their 12-month training
period.
The question of sending them be-
yond the United States and her pos
sessions as task troops
The chief of staff made his case
plain. The army, he said, was COM
posed of three elements-regulars,
national guardsmen, and draftees.
These, instead of having been kept
separate, were all melted into one
military whole, and to remove a
part of these, the draftees, at the
end of IL months, would be to create
utter confusion in the whole organi-
cation, he said.
He asked that the part of the
selective service law which limited
the time and place of the soldiers
service be taken away.
Otherwise, he pointed out, the
power Of the commander-in-chief
would become meaningless thing,
and attachments needed at certain
points would be forced to lose their
manpower.
But the chief of stats request,
couched in such a way that it
seemed an official request of con-
gress by the war department, found
considerable opposition, Senator
McNary of Oregon, Republican lead
er, stating that he was not only in
opposition to the removal of the geo.
graphical restrictions in the draft
act, but also was against the re-
moval of the 12-month restriction as
well.
It was evident that Marshal's
hope for an army Of !, 900, 900 trained
men, able to move wherever the
congress and the commander-in-
chief deemed expedient, was not go
ing to be won without overcoming
serious opposition.

ON RUN:
Or Defending?

Crucial questions OF the Russo
German war were these:
Did the Nazis actually have the
Russians in a wild-disorganized re-
treat?
Were the Russians, instead, fall
ing back to the Stain line in good
order considering the magnitude of
their army?
Was the finish to be another de-
feat for the defenders as soon as the
large cities were taken, as had hap
pened in Norway, Belgium, Holland,
France?
Or were the Russians willing, like
the Chinese, to move back across
vast territory and let space and
winter hardships swallow up the
Nazi effort?
None of these questions could be
answered accurately through the
muddle of rival claims, yet there
were hints here and there that tend
ed to show trends in attack and de-
tense that might furnish a partial
answer.
The onslaught was terrific and
news pictures released by the Ger
mans showed the advance across
battlefelds filled with backgrounds
of smoke, flame and destruction.
The speed could be counted at about
$50 miles in two weeks-the very
distance not only pointing to the ter
rife power of the attack, but also to
the difficulty of maintaining serv-
ice of supply and ''mopping up over
so many thousands of square miles.
So much tended to show the Nazis
swift and easy victors. Yet there
were other indications, entirely
aside from the official and biased
communicates which bore on the
eventual result and the theory OF
the Red defense.
There were reports from Nazi-
friendly Vichy and Rome. The for
mer reported half the troops of &C.
scupation withdrawn to the eastern
front; the latter warned against ex-
pecting a swift and easy victory.
The reports from Scandinavian
sources of the evacuation Of civilians
from Leningrad and Moscow and
Kiev; the speech of Stain in which
he urged the ''scorched earth de-
tense; the plans of Hitler to put
Louis Ferdinand on the Russian
throne - all indicated that there
might be a chance that the Rus
slams were willing to drop back as
slowly as might be, cede what
cities and territory must be given
UP, and let the Russian wastes and
the impending Russian fall and win
ter eat up the strength Of the at
tacker.
Few believed that the stain line"
would be anything but q stormy
way-station for the German adj
vance. But many believed that the
"Chinese PLAN would not only stem
the Hitlerian attack-but eventually
defeat it.

BRITAIN:
Her Chance

The British were apparently keen
ly aware that the preoccupation Of
the Nazis with the Reds on the
East furnished them with their great
chance of the war.
Hardly had the attack against
Russia been on for a week than the
Raj. leaders announced mastery
of the daytime air over the occupied
regions and western Germany.
Hardly did a day pass without
large-scale daytime bombing raids,
and the British plane losses did not
appear great if, as the claim was
made, they were using several
squadrons of upward of 100 bombers
each every day.
There was a silence from Ger
man sources about the accomplish
ments of the raids, but the British,
judging from their own losses from
German air attacks, figured that
their chosen detectives must soon be
reduced to hopeless ruins.
They felt that the Coventries on
Europe's soil must be numerous.
Heavy night attacks followed those
by day, with only occasional and
very light German reprisals-and
all of these under cover of dark
ness.
On the sea, also, the British
seemed to be making some head
way against the U-boat menace, and
the probability was felt that many
submarines must have been divert
ed to the Baltic, to serve against
Russian vessels
