Another Shukeup

The best evidence of the real eX-
tent of Greek successes in Albania
is to be found in II Duce's frantic
efforts to stave off a major military
disaster by reorganization of the
Italian high command while the
battle is in full progress. The latest
of these shakeups, the third since
November 10, installs General Ugo
Cavallero in the post relinquished by
General Ubaldo Soddu "for reasons
of health"
General SebaStiano Viscount Pras-
ca, who was relieved as commander
of Italian forces in Albania in No
vember, was the first victim of
Premier MuSSolini's wrath when the
projected invasion of Greece began
to assume the proportions of a rout
for his own forces. General Soddu
took over the command, but within
a month Marshal Pietro Badoglio, the
italian Hindenburg" and the hero
of the Ethiopian campaign, resigned
as chief of the general staff, a post
he had held for fifteen years. Gen.
eral Cavallero succeeded the marshal
as chief of staff, and retains that
post despite his appointment to the
Albanian command.
1t is interesting to recall that two
weeks prior to Marshal Badoglio's
resignation, the Italian newspaper
Regime Fascista declared victory in
Greece was certain despite some
improvidence and untimeliness on
the part of the head of the general
staff"
Since that seemingly rash forecast
the Greeks have pressed steadily
forward, and last week took the
strategic town of Klisura, from which
they dominate Tepelini and threaten
the road to the vital port of Valona.
These advances have come concur
rently with the almost incredible
collapse of the Italian forces in
Africa under the hammering of Aus
tralian troops and the Royal Air
Force
Under these circumstances it Is
not surprising that II Duce should be
making desperate efforts to salvage
something of his rapidly fading
prestige, but it may be doubted
whether constant reshuff1ing of his
commanding officers will prove to be
a solution. From all indications, the
basic trouble goes much deeper.
In Greece, and more notably in
Africa, all of the evidence points to
the conclusion that the rank and
file of Italian soldiers simply have no
heart for the fight. Occasionally
there are reports of courageous stands
by small groups of II Duce's troops,
but these become insignificant when
measured against the almost eager
surrender of some 10000 soldiers to
the British and an additional $4,000
to the Greeks. These capitulations,
according to the best available in
formation, are wholly out of proper
tion to the total of Italian casualties,
and they suggest that General Caval-
lero, despite his recognized talents
and the vigorous verbal support of
the Fascist press, is not to be envied
in his task of converting II Duce's
demoralized legions into an effective
fighting force

Mile O. Dimes

The third annual Mile O. Dimes
campaign, sponsored by The Star
and the National Broadcasting Com
pany, opened last night. 1t will con-
tinue until January 80, and its prog
ress will be reported day by day. The
goal, as in previous years, is the
largest possible endowment of the
prevailing struggle against infantile
paralysis. Local contributions in
amount of approximately SO, 100 were
collected in 1899. The figures for
1910 were $4,000.
No other popular philanthropy has
greater appeal to the average man or

drafted as rockies into the Army"

Cartoon Draws Criticism
From Labor Spokesman.

TO the Editor OF Inc star:
believe the cartoon on the front page
of The Star today was unfair and
tended to divide the people of this
country in facing the problems of the
times.
Labor pays its share of taxes and IS
subject to the draft-and Is therefore
doing as much as the others pictured
Time lost from strikes is decreasing
every year, as shown by statistics of
the NJ L. r. B. Therefore, the conditions
in labor affairs are not abnormal. If
emergency measures are applied, they
should be applied to labor and industry
alike
Industry has been assured of profits. 1t
can amortize plant expansion in a FIVE
year period. Since the bulk of this
business will be from the Government,
this really amounts to a subsidy.
Has labor been given any such con-
cession?
Please be fair. We have troubles
enough without inventing new ones.

Forecasts Fight to Regain Liberties"
If Defense Bill Passes.
To the Editor Of The Star:
The defense bill, passage Of which Is
certain because of the overwhelming
number of New Dealers in the Congress,
is, indeed, tragic irony in that we profess
to defend democracy in Europe, while
destroying democracy and our liberties
in America.
BY enacting this bill Congress would
abdicate its Constitutional duties, in
cluding the right and duty to declare or
not to declare war, and almost cease to
exist except in name.
The bill suspends the Constitution and
creates a dictatorship without parallel.
If this bill becomes law we will be
headed for national bankruptcy, for war
all over the world, the destruction Of
our institutions and liberties; and the
day will come, in the deliberate opinion
of the undersigned, when we will have
to fight to regain our liberties and to
restore Constitutional Government in our
country.

NO. 1 TRUMPETER' ARENA FEATURE
Harry James Tops Sun- days Attractive Bill at
 New Haven

When Harry James, worlds No. i Trumpeter" and his famous or- chestra, blow into town on Sunday afternoon and evening to headline the Show of the Week. at the New Haven Arena, local "cats" will have a chance to appreciate the rhythns of the foremost swing band in the country, plus super stage show headed by Isabel Jewell and Lya Lys, glamorous Hollywood screen stars.
 James, regarded by many as the only trumpet player capable of fill- ing the shoes of the late "Bix" Beiderbecke (accepted as the i'm. mortal of the trumpet) has enjoyed tremendous success with his orches- tra from coast to coast, and this ap- pearance at the Arena will be his fourth in three years, so popular has the Ace Trumpeter become in Connecticut. Much of this popularity stems from Harry's ability to serve up the best of the sweet tunes and latin rhythmS as well as the hot stuff.
 Featured with Harry James ard his orchestra is Dick Haynes, a superb vocalist.
 The beautiful Miss Jewell looks very glamorous indeed, and she is certain to receive a great welcome from her many movie followers. She has starred in North West Pas- sage" '"Tale of Two Cities" "L,ost Horizon" and Ceiling Zero, in re- cent months.
 Lya Lys was the star of "Confes. sions of Nazi Spy" and many oth- CT international hits. She is one of the most beautiful stars ever to hail from across the Atlantic, and in the last year has won a host of admir- CTS.
