WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-Your
Uncle Sam mas come through ten
major war scare crises in his
time, without once stepping off
the deep end. -nere were two
tangles with France, two show
downs with Germany, an armed
Intervention in Mexico and an
incident with Chile.
Like the current situation,
most of them had to do with free
dom of the seas, preservation of
the Monroe Doctrine and Sundry
angles of the neutrality gues-
ton.
The little American navy had
shooting war with the French
in 1898 without declaration of
hOstilities. When jays treaty
with Britain committed US
against Intervention in the war
IN behalf of France, the French
directory severed relations, de-
manded abrOgation af the treaty
and large sum of money as a
peace prerequisite.
President John Adams sent the
French consulS home. Merchant
vessels were armed, an Ameri-
can army was formed and Wash
ington called from retirement to
command it. The fracas never got
beyond a few sea fights, the
U. S. Navy doing itself proud.
Napoleon came into power the
next year and renewed the peace.
Oregon Compromise
''Fifty-four Forty or Fight"
was the cry of supporters of
President Polk who demanded
that latitude be fixed as the
northwest boundary of Oregon
territory. Secretary of State
Buchanan feared that the Presi-
dents sharp demands would
bring on war with Britain but
Polk said:
I viii do my duty and leave
the rest to God and the coun-
Try.
The British diplomats kept
cool, and the dispute was COM

Germans. Make Sensational Gains
On Russian Front; NalS Reach
Within $50 Miles Of Red CAPITAL
Both Germans And Reds
Describe Fighting As
Grimmest OF Entire Eu-
ropean War
lBy Associated PressJ

(Dy Associated PressJ
NEW YORK. Oct. a.-German
armies on the central Russian
front today were credited with
sensational gains as Nazi mec-
hanized columns HURLED toward
Moscow across plains Uttered
with dead and the wreckage of
shattered tanks.
Moscow admitted the Germans
have reached BrYansk. 100 miles
south and west of the Red cap
ital. and Adolf Killers head
quarters in the field told of a
war of humiliation on two Rus
sian armies trapped behind the
rolling German advance.
Both Germans and Russians
described the fighting in the
central theater as the grimmest
and the largest scale of the en-
tire war.
DNB, official German news
agency, said one Nazi army corps
destroyed 100 Russian tanks in
fighting east of Bryansk yester-
day. while another report said
an -arTa0red division captured
$500 Red prisoners in destroying
a powerful defense position.
Nazis Drive Wedges
The Moscow communique said
German panzer columns are driv-
ing deep wedges in the Red lines,
then tanning out to force the
Russians into retreat from at
tacks on their rear. Moscow
bulletins stressed the enormous
loss of German lives, however.
declaring the Nazis are advanc-
ing at a terrible cost.
Berlin admitted Red forces
are on the offensive south of
Leningrad, but DNB said the
Russians are suffering heavy
losses, and countered with the
claim that Nazi armies are pur-
suing the Reds across the steppes
of the Ukraine and forcing their
way into the Crimean PENN
sula.
With the statement of Hit
ler's generals that their attack
toward Moscow began Oct. 2 on
the central front, neutral obServ-
ers were puzzled over the fate of
the Red armies which at that
time were within sight of Smo-
lensk. :
Nazi attacks since then have
carried far beyond Smolensk, in
dicating the Red armies there
either have been trapped or
made a precipitate retreat to
get out of the range of the Ger
man pincers movement.
Aerial activity over the west
ern side of the continent con-
tinued in a hull yesterday and
this morning, but Berlin report
ed air raids on SueZ and the de-
struction of a British merchant
ship there, while London claim

Prescription for a delightful eli
max for dinner on hot mid-sum-
mer night - "Rx Take one
sponge or angel food cake and cut
in squares. Mold with lemon Gust
ard and chill. Serve for dessert
when weather is warm"
Here is a prescription that can
be followed with real pleasure-for
the delicate quivery texture and the
fresh tang of the lemon in this
nodded cake and custard dessert
foster an illusion of GOODNESS no
matter what the thermometer may
read.
The preparation of this dessert
is simple, too, so simple in fact
that you can easily fit it into any
crowded summer schedule. If you
wish, the sponge cake may be pur-
chased from a baked goods counter
The lemon custard, however, which
gives the dessert its superlative
flavor can be quickly made in your
own kitchen.
Particularly, is this true, if you
own a modern electric range AS
you know, time-wOrn custom has
necesSitated the use of a double
boiler when making custards. How
ever, when cooking with the low,
evenly distributed heat of a mod
ern electric range, only a medium
weight, ordinary saucepan is need
ed. The low, constant controlled
heat coagulates custards to al
smooth, creamy consistency with
out a trace of curdling. This low
surface heat, only one among the
several heat settings found on the
electric range, is also a real safe
guard in the cooking of milk and
egg mixtures, making it possible
for the amateur cook to prepare

Mix beaten egg yolks with half

Meanwhile sprinkle gelatin over
