World Travelling Evange- list Has Made Extensive
 Trip to Interior Alaska

Lester Sumrall, world travelling evangelist. lecturer and author, has returned to Juneau after making a circle tour through the interior of Alaska. His first stop was Fair bank, where he conducted meetings in the odd Fellows Hall He also lectured at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks High School and Pioneers of Alaska. For over three weeks MT Sumrall spoke on the Who's in Town" radio feature. The traveller states that the Interiorites gave him a real frontier" welcome.
 While in the Interior, MT. Sumrall travelled about 2,000 miles by air, to see the more remote sections of the Territory. One of the trips was to Wiseman, some 90 miles above the Arctic Circle. There he spoke in the Pioneers Hall. Everybody in town attended the meeting but two, and they were found to be i'll.
 Another plane journey of interest was the one to Nome. He states that there are 125 miles of ice in Nome's front door of the Boring Sea. Out on the tundra he saw large herd of reindeer.
 Sumrall says Anchorage is bcom- ing. A room to live in rents from $40 to $60 month. Lots that sold for a few dollars in late years have jumped to several hundreds dollars with the boom.
 Over the radio this morning MT. Sumrall said that he was glad to be back in the friendly capital.
 Tonight in the Bethel Assembly of God, MT. Sumrall will be speak ing. Pastor Ralph Baker cordially invites the public to this meeting.

II German opinion turns from an
offensive to a defensive attitude, as
suggested by DR.. Goebbels' utter
anceS.
Our hopes of defeating Germany
are based on reducing Germany to
the defensive, depriving her OF the
initiative. taking that initiative our
selves and using it to bring about
the downfall of Nazidom and of the
German will to fight. This war or
any war is over when one side has
no longer the will to resist, and
cries enough"
The first sign of German turn
ing to the defensive, even in thought,
is therefore of flrst-rate military i'm
portance.
AS for the progress Of operations
in Russia. the events that are known
in this case enable us to make
almost perfect picture Of the
events that are not known. The
successive German attacks on the
Moscow front have each been
weaker than its predecessor; anyone
who will recall the battle of the
Somme or the third battle of Ypres
knows what that means-lesser and
lesser gains for ever-increasing
prices paid in blood and munitions,
with ever-lesSening hope of real
success.
The weather has played its part,
as have the Russian cOunter-at-
tacks. While the Moscow offensives
were in progress. the Russian high
command thought fit to withdraw
Marshal Voroshilov from the de-
fense of Leningrad to form an army
of reserve somewhere behind Mos

centration of these forces would be

more active southern sector seems
the best assumption warranted by
the facts as they are now available.
The southern situation is by no
means as favorable to the Russians.
The German advance on Rostov
has been checked, probably by the
marshes Of the lower course of the
Don as well as Russian resistance,
but in the Crimea the Germans,
though apparently held before Sc
vastopol, seem to be advancing on
the Kerch Peninsula and the battle
of the Kerch Straits may soon be
underway. German success in Fore
ing these straits might-as previ-
ously pointed out-have far-reach-
ing consequences. But that success
is far from assured, and beyond lies
land Of magnificent distances and
increasingly bad communications.
The worse this situation appears to
the German high command, as 1t
unfolds, the more the eyes must
turn toward the only other possible
route of eastward advance open to
tnem. turkey.
Britain Decisive Theater.
But that route, too, presents no
easy path of conquest, always pro-
vided the Turks do not yield with
out fighting. The prospects of q
winter campaign in Anatolia can
not be attractive to the German
staff, and before even Anatolia is
reached there is the water-line of
the Bosporus and the Dardanelles
to be forced.
1t must be increasingly apparent
in Berlin that the war is not going
to be won cheaply or quickly in
| the east; that, when all is said
and done, the island of Great Brit
| ain and its waters of approach and
| access still remain the really de-
ciSive theater of war, and that the
DINNER the German prospects of
breaking out through the Near East
| become. the greater the need for
| desperate measures which may still
hold out prospect of success, even
| though feeble one.
Time, which was Hitler's ally in
the beginning, is now turning
against him as the tide of American
war production rises while Russia
holds firm. If he could break the
| bastion of Britain, he could still
win. Success in the east seems
unlikely to produce quick decision
and a quick decision is what Hitler
needs. We may we'll think of these
things, for we may be sure that
many minds in Berlin are busy with
| them now.

For War Games With
Is Staff Officers
Planes Will Take Active
Port in Fighting in
CoroIinos Friday
BY NELSON M. SHEPARD.

Accompanied by Is staff officers,
1t. Gen. Lesley j. McNair, Chief Of
the General Headquarters Staff, left
yesterday for Monroe, N. c., where
he will supervise the war" between
the 100000 troops of the First Army
and Fourth Army Corps that will be
waged for two weeks in the Caro-
| inas.
Air phases in which numerous
types of pursuit and bombardment
planes OF the two Air Support Com
mands will operate as integral parts
of the fighting forces, will begin at
noon Friday. This will be the first
action of supporting air forces in
simulated war effort designed to test
the latest strategic and tactical
| phases.
Because Of criticism directed
against the discipline of troops
under the fire" of air combat forces
in the Texas-Louisiana maneuvers,
those phases of the Carolina war
games will be under close scrutiny
Of Army observers.
Earlier Maneuvers Criticized.
Gen. McNair criticized the earlier
maneuvers as demonstrating IAN
unhealthy disregard for the air
power" and lack of discipline dur
ing blackouts.
AS one of the participating field
commanders, 1t. Gen. Ben Lear, of
the Second Army. said. Troop
discipline under attacks by air forces
was exceptionally bad" These
battle faults, he warned, would re-
suit in extremely heavy losses in
time of war"
Furthermore, Gen. Lear COM
planned that concealment in biv-
ouacs showed need for improve
ment. 1T does no good to conceal
trucks and troops beneath trees
and then expose laundry :. thus
affording panels to the enemy
bombers," he said.
A severe test will be provided for
the planes of the First and Third
Air Support Commands. AS In the
Louisiana games, two Navy and
two Marine Corps squadrons also
will participate.
| Lessons learned as q result of
developments in modern war make
more apparent than ever before
the necessity for close coordination
of the striking power of mechanical
ground forces and the air units.

By MAY. GEORGE FIELDING
ELIOT.

It would be interesting to have,
were such a thing obtainable in this
country. an accurate estimate of the
effect on the morale of the German
people of the German failures in
Russia. These failures can hardly
longer be disguised; that this is so,
the remarkable statement of DR..
Goebbels, the German Minister Of
Propaganda, makes complete ad-
mission.
Just over a month aga, the Fueh-
rer in person told his people that
the Russian war was ended, that
Russian military power had been
broken never to rise again, that
there remained only mopping up
operations to be performed. Today
the German armies after desperate
efforts are still begged down before
Moscow and Leningrad and Rostov,
with only Kharkov and the pene-
tration of the Crimea to show for
a month of terrible fighting and
mounting casualty lists. Against
such facts. no forensic eloquence
can hope to prevail: DR.. Goebbels
accepts this in his appeal to Ger
mans to fight on less worse thing
befall.
The effect of military failure on
such regime as that of Adolf
Hitler is yet to be determined.
We ought not to indulge in wishful
thinking, based on what happened
to the prestige and authority Of
Mussolini under the impact of de-
feat in Africa and Greece. The Ger
man people are not the Italian.
Moreover, there is always the pos
sibility of redeeming the military
situation by some spectacular sue
cess
But up to this point. the actual
results obtained, while very con-
siderable, have been far short Of
predictions. far short of eXpecta-
tions; there has been no decision;
the casualties are still mounting,
and Russian fighting power is very
far from being broken.
Should this state of affairs con-
tinue during the winter, the conf
dence of the German people in their
leaders may be seriously affected.
This may have no greater imme-
diate result than the fall of some
of the party chiefs and the taking
over of more power by the Wehr-
macht, leaving Hitler's personal po-
sition undisturbed or largely so. But
it will be of vital consequence to
the further prosecution of the war
