Will Urge
Buying Of
Stamps, Bonds
Every School Child in
Lincoln County to
Be Solicited.
ORGANIZE BANKS" FOR
CONVENIENCE OF PUPIL

At a meeting OF the County De-
tense Savings Committee last week,
il was voted to institute plan for
the purchase Of savings stamps and
bonds that would include every
school child in Lincoln county. Ma
chinery is now being set up in the
local school to hands this PROPOSE
ton IS pupil-teacher project. 1t
will begin with the setup OF saw
ings stamp bank in each room where
pupils can buy 10 and - cent saw
inRs stamps. These will be placed
in booklets, which when filled. can
be turned in for one OF higher
denomination. Each teacher will
conduct u room bank where pupils
may bring their dime or quarter,
secure stamp, and become share
holder in the government.
A feeling Of partnership on the
part of the pupil will make him
conscious Of waste and carelessness
about him so that he will insist
with those who buy larger bonds,
that we make the best use Of every
cent that goes into the National De-
Tense fund.
Il It should not be necessary to have
to urge this program upon pupils
teachers and parents. Where we all
share the privileges Of an enlight-
ened government, we should all as
sumo our part OF the responsibility
for its efficient maintenance.
Donald Roberts will act IS CO.
ordinator and each individual pupil
and teacher will have an opportun-
ity each Wednesday noon to place
new stamp Cor two) in his book
Careful records will be kept tc
avoid any loss or error. In the
grades all stamp books will be KEEP
in safe depository at school,. to b

The fluctuations and uncertain
ties of Hitlers war plans are being
once more exemplified by develop
nentS in the Balkans. Checked in
France by the resolute front of
Marshal Petain and prevented by
he British fleet from sending sue
cor to Marshal Graziani in North
Africa, the fuehrer now is making
the Swastika conspicuous in south
eastern Europe.
The resolute, steadfast pursuit
of a major objective, which is
strongly emphasized in German
military teaching, has been so
changed, however. to wavering
tactics since the defeat of the air
olitzkrie2 over Britain, that it is
impossible to determine what Hit
Ter finally will do III the Balkans.
His strategy shifts from enc end
)f continental Europe to the ether,
not to confuse the enemy, but more
obviously because the problems in
volved are becoming too cOmpli-
Gated for a direct and easy Solu-
ton.
If reports are true that the Nazi
war machine is now preparing to
strike at Greece through Bulgaria,
they must mean, primarily, that
Hitler fears a revolution in Italy
unless he comes to Sigrcr Muss0-
jini's help Some evidence of in
tense anti-Fascist feeling among
italians is provided by American
correspondents who entered Ben
ghazi with the British troops and

Since the start of the Italian dc
teats in the Greek war, Hitler has
held alCof. presumably not wishing
% set the Balkans aflame. But that
is the lesser evil if the alternative
we're to be Italys retirement from
the war. SO, it is possible right
Of way through Bulgaria may be
demanded by the fuehrer to try
tc keep Italy from collapsing.
If Hitler contemplates striking
through Bulgaria at Turkey, his
purpose would be TO attempt to get
to Suez and Egypt and attack the
British from the east Such an ox-
pedltion, however, would first have
to assault the strong Dardanelles
defenSes and then march 1000
miles over difficult country.
That might have seemed feasible

warships Attempt
To Bombard Coast,
Germans Announce

BERLIN, Feb. II. CUP)-British
warships attempted to lombard the
French Flanders coast line last
night, the high command said to-
day.
The men o war were turned back
by German coastal batteries, which
silenced their guns.
= The high command claimed that
33 British planes were destroyed
against two German planes yester-
day, reported that its planes had
raided a Cyrenaican Oibya) harbor
now occupied by the British.
The Germans also raided Malta
again yesterday. The communique
said British planes last night at
tackled nine points in Germany in
Guiding Hanover.
The communique said reconnais-
sance planes had established that
two merchant ships had been sunk
in the Suez canal but it did not
indicate when or how the ships
were sunk.
The communique did not state
the objective of the British naval
vessels, saying merely they had
attempted" to shell "the French
Flanders" coast. This would in
dicate that the locale was the Dun
kirk area.

shelled the important italian port

if Marshal Graziani had been able
to develop 2 simultaneous offensive
from the west. Now, however, it
would appear that the fuehrer has
missed the Turkish bus
Even if strong German army
were to get through Turkey and
Syria, the British now are power
fully reinforced in the Suez area.
AS the Germans tested themselves
in the Polish campaign, so the
British have gained the experience
OF the Libyan offensive and know
the new tactics Of mechanical war;
fare and the blitzkrieg as we'll as
the Germans. 1t Woud go hard with
the Nazis if they challenged the
British at Suez.
There is the possibility that the
German demonstrations in the Bal
kans are camouflage. IF that be so,
then there would be a double pur-
pose.
The first purpose would be to
try to force the British to end their
Lbyan campaign and not continue
operations in Tripolitania. That
result might be obtained if General
Wavell were uncertain about Ger
man intentions and thought it de-
sirable to concentrate his forces in
Eastern Egypt and especially divert
his air arm for use III the Balkans.
The second purpose would be TO
frighten the Greeks into making
peace If the new government at
Athens became convinced Germany
intended sending several hundred
thousand men against Eastern
Greece, a truce with Italy might
seem desirable.
However, if that is Germany
purpose, it could be checked by
the possibility of Turkeys threat
to enter the war and the uncertain
ties OF Russia's position

LONDON, Feb. II. (UP) Heavy
explosions from the direction of
the Belgian coast were heard along
the southeast coast of England to-
day and it was believed that royal
air force planes had started their
third straight day of daylight raids
on the invasion coast.
During the night British long

veloping the most important royal
"air force offensive operations of the
war, had heavily bombarded areas
of northwestern Germany, espec-
ial)y Hanover, and German-occu-
pied territory.
1t was said officially that high
proportion of the planes which
ATTACKED the Hanover industrial
area reached their obiectives and
that the attack was heavy, con-
centrated and most successful.
