LCLL CANNOT LAST

l. IL Y. ~
They did not say when the VII
drawal took place. The Germans
claimed its capture more than
week ago. There is thus no sign
Of a present major assault on Khar-
koy and the kiev basin. The Slow
and painful advance into the 18th

the mainland also does not bear
the marks Of real German hltz.

away. Their lines are not suited
now "a q defense winter campaign if
they intend to dig in for the win
ter.
For some time it has been ap-
parent that the Russians are mos
likely to be still fighting when
spring comes. Even Berlin admits
that a winter campaign IS in the
cards.
BLITZ IMPOSSIBLE
The Germans contend that if the
Russians can fight efficiently under
winter conditions. they can, toe.
However. heavy SHOWS and sub
zero weather are great obstacle
to tanks and mechanical units. A
real blitz probably would be impcS-
sible. If Leningrad is not taken
before winter. there seems a good
chance that it Will hold Out for
months.
That applies to north and GEN.
tral Russia. Below Kiey. there IS
no reason why fighting should not
be possible all winter on any scale
the Germans choose 10 make It.
There is no way Of forecastjag
what German strategy will be. Hit
Ter has never yet telegrapted his
punches. Yet il seems probable that
if ne can stabilize the north and
central fronts, he Will leave oniy
a holding or defensive force there

Australian Opinion on War

Prime Minister Menzies of Aus
tralia held some very important
conversations with high Washington
officials during his recent visit. In
these talks he expressed every con-
fidence that Britain would win the
war, but he was hard-boiled and
realistic regarding the time neces-
sary for a victory.
Coming from Australia, which has
a detached and unbiased view of
the situation, his opinion is impor-
tant.
During 1941," he said, "all of
Britain's effort must be concentrate
ed on defense.
During 1912 we can really begin
to concentrate our efforts on build
ing up a real war machine.
"And in 1943-with Americas help
we can take the offensive, and we
will win the war;

MEMS STYLES


While there will be no change of
basic patents involved in mems
clothing styles for 1941, and it will
still be impossible to get in and out
of this years clothes the same as
in 1910, this departments look-see
into the situation has convinced it
that there will be new touches to
pants, coats and vests. If you eX-
pect to remain in civilian clothes,
bend an ear:
Colors will switch sharply from
the loud tendencies of previous
springs. This is due largely to the
fact that, with the draft on, no male
wants to be more conspicuous than
necessary. Even males beyond the
selective service age will prefer the
duller hues on the ground there is
no sense being an oriole during a
bird hunt.
Coats (jackets) and trousers
(pants) will be roomier. There is
so much going on and so much to be
seen in these critical days that the
ability to turn completely around in
side a suit of clothes is paramount.
Pockets will be inadequate as usual,
but they will be cut much larger,
tailors having awakened to the fact
a man has to carry so many things
around on him these days that
we'll designed suit of clothes must
combine some features of satchel,
filing cabinet and old-fashioned
desk.
There was a time when pockets
were expected to contain little ex-
cept loose change, seat stubs,
matches and an old letter or two,
but with the changes in the social
system, the war, ct cetera, there
must be ample pocket room for fed
eral summonses, government no.

Washington commissions, lawyers

Conscientious Directors.

Announcements that LOO consci-
entious DIRECTORS will report to non
military training camps in the next
few weeks are lot of hooey. Real
fact is that only 201 draft registrants
have even been classed as genuine
religious DIRECTORS.
Out of the 100000 questionnaires
received from draft eligibles, less
than $500 sought exemption on the
ground of religious scruples. Of
this number, 201 have been OK'd so
far. They will train in eight camps
as follows:
Fifty at Camp Patapsco, Elkridge,
Md; IA at Grottoes, Va; IL at
Lagro, Ind; 80 at San Dimes,
Calf; 10 at Richmond, Ind; 40 at
Marietta, Ohio; 80 at Colorado
Springs, Colo; 10 at Cooperstown,
N. Y.
While operated by the govern
ment, the camps are financed by
private funds, supplied chiefly by
the Quakers, Mennonites, and Unit
ed Brethren. In some instances the
men pay their own costs, at the
rate of $35 a month.

RAILROAD TEST

For National Defense chiefs, June
holds special significance. 1t will
indicate whether government rpera-
ton of railroads may be necessary.
In June the nations railroads will
meet their first crucial test of
whether they are adequately
equipped to handle the enormous
increase in freight resulting from
the defense program.
When the wheat harvest starts in
the Texas Panhandle and continues
north, the carriers will be on the
spot to prove their determined con-
tention that there is no shortage of
freight cars, and that they can cope
with the great demands of the de-
tense program without the govern
ment taking them over as in the
World war.
Railroad moguls are fully aware
that they face decisive showdown,
and they are making tremendous
efforts to meet it.
twenty-five thousand cars have
been modified to handle the Texas
crop and a strict rule has been laid
down that they must be kept rolling.
Cars will not be allowed to be used
for storage purposes. If a ship
ment can't BE- unloaded without de-
lay, cars will not be released.
Cars will be peremptorally re-
called if shippers don't load. Cir
cuitous routing is being eliminated.
And the railroads themselves are
now distributing the materials and
equipment they will need months
hence, so that the maximum num-
Der of cars will be available in the
peak season next autumn. This
alone is expected to release 10000
freight cars.

Mechanical Cavalry,

1t took a war in Europe to do it,
but the U. S. army is now doing a
whirlwind job of replacing cavalry
with tanks and armored cars. Even
Secretary of War Stimson's aide,
Col Eugene Regnier, has gone in
for mechanization.
Commenting whimsically on this
the other day, Secretary Stimson
said: CATER riding horses all his
life, Gene is now commanding the
first reconnaissance battalion of the
First Cavalry division. He rides in
a bantam scout car and has ar
mored cars and tanks under his
command. 1 tell him this is strange
for a man who has sworn that
horses are the only thing in life.
But he says it takes the brains of
good cavalryman to handle a
mechanical unit"
Note-Colonel Regnier deserted
his swivel-chair job in Washington
for Ell Paso, Texas, where Gen.
lines P. Swift commands one of the
most active army posts in the
country.

What is consti patton? Despite the high pressure
salesnansip Of radio and magazine advertising few
pie this question correctly. Actually
it is very difficult for the medical profession to
frame a simple, adequate definition of this ALL
American malady.
Nature is capable of infinite variation in her
creations. No two people, for instance, have ever
been found who have Identical finger prints. Like
wise there is unlimited variation within the range
of nomality of the digestive and excretive process
of human beings. daily bowel movement may be
nal for person. Once in three days may be
rect for another.
Because rost peep lie not know this they become
the dupes Of the oratory e the drug manufacturers.
Dr. 8u1e, chief of Rectal G seases Of the Mayo CT
once stated, There thousands of patented rene
dies and the banefu effect many of them can not
be oVerstated. 1t is unfortunate that, in the con-
slant endeavor to popularize of hi products and
to increase his income, deliberately will sacr-
flee the physical comfort safety of his ne ghbcr
by propaganda and misrepreser tation." 1t is i'm
possible to estima te row much money is wasted in
year in order to purchase unnecessary laxatives. The
waste OF money is minor tragedy. The damage done
to healthy individuals who have succumbed to mis-
Leading advertisements and have become about
the absence of daily bowel movement, is the most
serious aspect of this problem.
Generally speaking constipation ext SITS if evaca-
tlon is difficult painful or if there is sense
of incorlleteneas of evacuation. But once person
is conscious of such condition. he should consult
physician and not radio spellbirder. For real
constipation is onlJ symptom Of disease viii CHI
Will not be cured by taking laxatives. To an
astounding degree, ctnstip patton is the result of
physiological upsets to even greater degree.
1T is the product OF TIE socialeccncmic env roent

by the physician before Re Institutes reatment.

Silver Shirts Among The Gold

The Washington papers few days ago featured
little tale the reform in the Maynard ways of
chief William Dudley Pelley, recently "resigned"
head Of the Silver Legion.
According to Nr. Pelley's candid confession, he
leaving hi life-work Of bui lding pure aryan
America retire to midwest metropolis to become
metaphys clan and writer. Oddly enough, his works
philosophy will be published by ex-policeman
who wi IL fulfil the destiny of all cops who invar-
ably retire wealthy enough to become publishers, and
in fact, whose sole ambition body is to become
publi skers of metaphysical texts.
The Silver Legion, left in the lurch, is seeking,
are told, to free exKlansman Hutchinson from an
Indiana life term for murder to head their select
coterie.
This ccmbinati on of retirement to hermitage so
frankly confessed, yearning after the finer
things in an ex-cop, and the Legicnis terri BILE
plight merely leads to believe that Mr.. Pelleys
new sponsors going to leave nothing the ina
glnatlon in their new publicity campaign.
There is, nevertheless, certain remi scent re-
dolence in the air.
