NO" she had replied in her rich
English voice. I'm not cold on such

If she heard the delicate rebuke,
Eric Strasson ignored it. Rather, he
had smiled down at Felicity, showing
white teeth against his swarthy skin.
Now, in the warm car that was TAX

StraSson."
The English pride" Contempt
was carefully masked in his we'll

on such night"
Here you are!" Felicity remem-

out. I've paced every deck and
peeked into every lounge aboard
looking for you. Felicity" Tom
Barnes came up from below.
"Oh, hello, Strasson: didn't see
you at first. How about a walk
around, Felicity"
I'd love 1T, Tom. Excuse us,
won't you, Mr. Strasson. Oh, maybe
we'd better say good-by here. Ship

piled. only at home in England

We'll, it looks wrong to u.s." the
older Elaine defended him. She
turned to the pretty young woman
and put her small hand on Felicity's.
Its all SO strange, Miss Felicity;
sometimes I wish we hadn't come
away from home even to be with
Aunt Shirley and Uncle Henry"
Everything is bewildering now,
dear, but you'll soon feel at home
here and you won't have to worry
about identification tags and gas
masks and afraid alarms"
But Felicity did not feel the con-
fidence she tried to impart to the
children. In her heart she wished
she were home, too-that is. she
would if it weren't for Tom Barnes.
Fellclty's blue eyes lighted at the
thought of Tom.
The remembrance of their last
night on the ocean sent warm thrills

put the children to bed in their
stateroom and had gone up on deck
to watch the foam that the ship

expense involved in transporting
them overseas.
Only those who are eligible for
at least 18 months extended serv-
ice duty at the date of sailing in
Guiding any extension authorized
BY the War Department, will be
selected
Reserve officers desiring foreign
service duty should make applica-

the Army, indicating their prefer
ence for station in the event he is
selected.
District reserve officers will par
ticipate in only two instruCtional
conferences this week Tuesday eve

BY MAI. GEORGE FIELDING
ELIOT.


The basis of Russian tactics in
this war appears to be application
of the principle that counterattack
is the heart and soul of successful
defense. The present situation
around Moscow well illustrates their
use of this maxim of war.
Unwilling to accept stalemate, the
Germans have taken advantage of
a break in the weather to launch
another great assault on the Rus
sian capital Their necessities must
have been very pressing to induce
them to risk the certain sacrifices
in men and material on the chance
of success sufficiently great to
justify those losses.
The German high command. of
course. thinks always in terms of
the big picture" They are prob
ably anticipating defeat in Africa,
at moment when they are desper-
ately trying to whip the Vichy
government into line with the new
order in Europe, and when IL Asia
the affairs of Japan are approach
ing crisis. A great victory Tor the
British in the Libyan Desert would
ring around the world, with roper
cusSions everywhere injurious to the
German cause, unless it could be
offset by the capture of MOSCOW.
Nothing less. no advance in South
ern Russia. for example. would serve
tho Nf
litical machine. Hence German
soldiers by the thousands have had
to die beneath the hail of Russian
fire along the western defenses Of
the Soviet capital.
Freezing Aids Mcchanized Forces.
The freezing OF the Ground has
enabled the German mechanization
TO move faster and farther than
during the -slush period of
few weeks ago. The Germans.
therefore, tried for the ambitious
goal of double encirclemenr. north
and south. according to their time
hOnored tactical ideas. In both
cases they gained ground-to Kiln
and to StalinoeorSk.
The holding attack in the center,
meanwhile. doubtless served the
purpose of all holding attacks by
fixing" the Russian troops III their
immediate front. But it did not
fix the Russian reserves. some of
which have now been put into
counterattack in both areas.
In both the result appears to have
been the same. The advanced Ger
man armOred elements have been
cut off from their infantry support,
and now face not only the problem
of regaining touch with their Sup
plies. which has brought disaster to
so many German armored spear
heads in the course of the Russian
war but also the danger of pro-
longed exposure to the growing cold
of a Russian winter. deadly to men
brought up in the comparatively
mild climate of the great north
coastal plain of Europe.
Much Depends on Reserves.
The immediate issue turns, there
fore. on whether the Germans now
have sufficient reserves to rescue
their forward elements and to con-
tinue to gain ground by breaking
down the inner shoulders of the
salients they have formed and thus
forcing the Russian center back
toward Moscow. Should they do
this. renewal of the encircling
movements might follow. in the
Of upply OF the Russian capital.
Much, therefore, depends on the
fi9hAng strength of the reserve
forces still available to the respec-
tive armies on the Moscow front
The Russians are undoubtedly su-
perior in manpower, but it is
