lss v.sn on the charge of espionage.

sewing of the new fiscal year, the
p pras;dent Roosevelt ordered the in
sretion of 100000 men in the army
a,r;nc the next twelve months, the

Great Pianist Dies
New York City-Ignace Jan Pad
sravski rated with List and Rub
instein as one of the three great
81 pianists in musical history, died
here at the age of 80. Following the
la,t World War he became Premier

Wild Tales from Russia
Iondon-Hitler's formula for Sue
cessful propaganda, when You Lie
tell Big Lie" was faithfully follow
ed during the first ten days of the
RUSSO German war, and by both
belligerants. So fanciful are the re-
ports from the 20O0-mile front, in
fact, that trained correspondents
credit little If anything coming from
either side. According to the Nazi
High Command, the Soviets lost
5000 planes. 1t is doubtful if Rus
sia had anywhere near that num-
Der of planes actively engaged. On
the other hand, Russia claims the
destruction of an entire German
army corps, which, if true, is some
thing that has not happened up to
date in the European War. The facts
are that the Nazis have gained in
Poland and may possibly take Len
hgrad, not much Of prize at the
moment Defending the rich Uk-
raine the Soviets have put up bet
ter fight than was expected of them,
and may cause the battering Ger
man war machine an embarrassing
delay in Hitler's program.
British Seize Advantage
London-With the Huns fully oc-
cupied in their projected loot of
Russia, the Royal Air Force has
enjoyed field day over Western
Germany and occupied France. For
1enty-odd straight days British
paabers formations have dumped
tnelr lads of destruction, almost
Without opposition, on the indus
Elal regions of the Rullr and the
enamel ports from which Hitler
Planned his invasion of England.
Inc latter excursion seems indef-
ailely postponed, since there is
hardly a port in Northern France
eaat isn't a formless pile of rubble,
~ lne midst of which, at the once
pl1 OF Brest, lies the twisted wreck
tne last-but-one of the Nazi
pocket. battleships, the Schorn-
uofss, which, with its sister-ship,
ae Gneisenau are out of the war
i~ many months to come.
