Fleet and the Air Corps in this

Reports that the Greeks are al
ready entrenching near Saloni'Sa
suggests that this might be to the
right of the line running through to
strongholds the Greeks have estab-
lished in the Albanian mountains.
Here is no Maginot line of under

This Time a Proved Ally.
This time the British do not join
hands with an ally who was in
doubtful fighting mood until the last
hour as in the case of Belgium. In
the Greeks they have an ally Of
proved, veteran valor, with whom
they can enter into immediate CO.
ordination after months of planning
for joint action.
The answer Is given to the Turks
and Yugoslavs, to all the conquered
countries, as to where Britain can
land an army on the European Con.
tinent. 1t Is In Greece.
Now that the mopping up Of the
Italians in North Africa is about
completed, a large contingent can
be spared from the Army Of the
Nile. At home Britain has about
100000 men under arms, In con-
trast to the meager number upon
the evacuation of Dunkirk.
Every veteran who was in France
wants fair chance for another

Contract LET on Plans
For Medical Library

A contract to prepare preliminary
sketches and plans for the proposed
$3,750,000 Army Medical Library
Building has been awarded to
Eggers g. Higgins of New York, the
construction firm which erected the
Archives Building, National Gallery
of Art and Jefferson Memorial, the

Congress appropriated s130000 for
this phase of the work Library ON
cials reported they have been In
daily conference with architects and
that the plans should be finished
within the next few months. A site
will be selected during this period,
they said.
After preliminary details are COM
pleted Congress will be asked to ap-
propriate the necessary funds for the
construction. The present library, at
Seventh street and Independence
avenue S.W., houses more than
1000 900 items. The new building,
according to present plans, will have
sufficient storage facilities to take
care of expansion for the next so
years.
Onicials estimate that the new
library can be completed within one
year after Congress makes the neces-

fair test of how good the German
Army is, man to man, gun to gun,
division to division, and tank to
tank. For the results of such a
test our own Army has been waiting,
as yet unconvinced that the efficiency
of Hitler's war machine has not been
considerably overestimated.
Hitherto. it has had all the breaks,
from weather and surprise to meet
ing either opponents who we're hope
lessly weak or who blindly provided
wide-open opportunities for their
own destruction by their strategic
and tactical blunders.
Last year the Germans pulled all
the fast ones there were on land in
their surprises from Norway to
France. This year-far from con-
cealing the objective OF q blitzkrieg
drive up to the day they strike
their objective has been revealed for
weeks In their Balkan concentration.
This Year the British Score.
But in the present year it was the
British who pulled a fast one on
Benito Mussolini in North Africa
They have just pulled the second one
on Hitler; not Hitler by invading
Britain. They are conducting a
lightning landing operation overseas,
and, with the promtness and team
work which has ever been the war
rant for audacity in war, are making
1t success.
If the British were going to land
in Greece at all. it would have been
utter folly to land a small, token
army. This would invite another
blow at British prestige. They are
there for battle, and prolonged bat
tie; there to stick as they stuck it
at the Ypres salient in the first
World War.
Spring is not yet out Of the lap
Of winter in Bulgaria, where the
melting SHOWS from the mountains
and heavy rains flood the streams.
In Greece proper 1t is already spring,
a warm Aegean spring for transports,
their decks crowded with soldiers,
to make the short run across the
smooth Mediterranean from Ale~n-
dria. Already troops can sleep in
the open without discomfort.
Many Ports in Greece.
There are many ports for landing
on the indented coast of little
Greece-Patras on the west coast,
and the Piraeus, gateway to Athens,
Volo and Salonika on the asst coast.
Arterial highways and railroads run
north toward the Balkans. EVIDENT
ly the British are using all these
ports, and channeling their troops,
guns and supply trains over the
highways and railways in their dis
position to form their front.
The location and troop disposi-
tions of the front are locked in the
mind OF Gen. Sir Archibald Wayell
and his staff, of course, and probably
unknown in any detail to Prime
Minister Winston Churchill him
self. Churchill has reason to trust

history. He is speaking to win war. He
has only one purpose: to destroy his
enemies.
The extreme consistency of this purpose
makes any other consistency inconsequen-
tial Hitler says anything at all, at any
given period or moment, that serves this
very simple purpose. Propaganda, in his
mind-as he pointed out in "Mein
Kampf"-is not an intellectual argument;
it is military weapon. Otherwise it is
worthless.
His speeches, therefore, have gone
through series of phases. If they were
pat together in parallel columns they
would make an amazing argument.
Prior to 1888, they were directed to
the destruction of the German Republic.

Closing Chicago Grain

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Dec. 20.-A steep price
advance in the soybean market to-
day injected some support into the
entire grain trade.
Beans were up at one stage al

reports that there may be some
revision of the ceilings placed on
certain fats and oils recently. Soy

cago dealers to country points were
reported to have been advanced
several cents overnight, which also
stimulated buying of futures.
The advance in grains was held
to fractions, with investment and
commercial trade continuing on a
restricted scale because of uncer-

almost as large as this years in
