declared Joseph z. Davies, for
mer U. s. Ambassador to Russia,
in an interview last night.
Davies, here with his wife,
Marjorie Post Close Hutton Dav-
les, for q visit said Hitler may
take a large md substantial part
of the Ukraine and may advance
into the northern and western
parts of Russia but the vast terri
tory and tremendous manpower
of Russia will be hard to con-
Quer.
''The Russian military leaders
will permit the German panzer
units to advance far into Russian
territory" asserted the exam
bassador. 1.-THE Germans may
even be expected to advance q
far a Moscow. Their lines OF
communication will be spread
thin and then general winter
will step In to the advantage and
possibly victory Of Russia."

Although the grand scale cur

little doubt that the total would

''The tempo of modern warfare

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Where is Tripoli? That is a good
question to ask ourselves at this
time.
One day we read about Tripol1 IN
a dispatch from Africa, and the dis
patch has something to do with
the Italian colony of Libya. On
another day comes different news
story, and this time it seems that
Tripoli Is in Syria!
That might make a person feel
that Tripoh must be moving around,
making a journey from the southern
side of the Mediterranean to the
eastern endl The fact is that there
are two cities called Tripoli.
One Tripoli, the smaller of the
two, has a population of about &c.
900. 1t is almost, but not quite, on
the sea coast. Although a mile or
two inland it is close to the sea-
port town known as Ell Nina.
The other Tripoli is in Northern
Africa, straight south from the
island of Sicily. 1t is about 300
miles from Sicily.
Tripoh is the capital of Libya
and is the largest city in that col
ony. The population is about $4,000,
of whom close to one-third are Ital-
fans. The rest are mainly Arabs,
Jews and BerberS.
Libya is about five times as large
Is Italy, but Italy has about 55
Zines as many people. Libya is
mainly a desert. The population of

.Libyo's Capital Has Desert Problems

except where there is an oasis.
The oasis is green only because of
springs or wells from which water
can be taken.
In Tripoli there are wells which
supply the people with enough
water for drinking and other pur-
poses. If, on one of the streets, you
see a camel loaded with a pair Of
barrels, it Is likely that the barrels
contain water. An old custom of
the city is to transport much of the
water in that way. Women carry
jars of water on their heads, and
men sometimes walk along with
water filled goatskins on their backs.
Some of the streets are paved
with stone. and there are houses
and other buildings with stone walls.
Many of the streets are rooted with
boards or mats, so there may be
shade. They are like tunnels, except
that some of the mats and boards
have holes in them to allow q bit
Of light to come through.

Under other circumstances, West
might have led the king of clubs,
but that would have allowed South
to escape with a set of only two
tricks. The king of hearts would
have been safe enough, but West
saw no reason to guess at the OPEN
&.1r lon a III -
ner had good hand and that the
spade suit was not going to develop
we'll for South. He was, therefore,
perfectly willing to reduce the
hand to no-trump as quickly as
possible by leading trumps.
East won the opening trump lead
with the trump ace and returned
the suit. South won and returned
the jack of clubs, hoping to sneak
the trick by. But West put up the
club king and led a third round of
trumps, thus destroying dummy's
ruffng power. The rest of the
hand was a matter of routine.
South managed to set up a club
trick, but could win only that club
and four trumps-down four, for a
loss of TOO points.
Of course, the bidding was bad,
but the play had to be correct If
East and West were to make the
most of the enemy's mistake.
Prompt penalty doubles and effec-
tive defensive play are the most
effective weapons against oppo-
