short of an outright majority, the
Republicans for the first time in
many years will be in a. position to
direct the course of much legislation,
providing they can maintain unity in
their own ranks, and it is to this end
that Mr.. Martin presumably will de-
vote his major efforts.
The resurgence of Republican
strength, as Mr.. Martin we'll knows,
is not necessarily an unmixed bless

future is concerned II its new

its minority role should be produc-
tive Of nothing more than mere par
tisan opposition to the administra-
ton, the tide which has been run
ming to the COP since 1888 is very
apt to be reversed. In this respect,
much will depend upon the skill with
which Mr.. Martin carries out the
task to which he has wisely decided
to devote all of his time.

Caucasus Front

The new threat to the Grozny oil
fields involved in the German victory
at Nalchik brings into the spotlight
the entire Caucasian battle front, of
which the Grozny sector is but
part. The dramatic struggle for Sta
lingrad, 400 miles to the northward,
has hitherto overshadowed the Cau-
casian campaign, but the stakes in
the latter effort are great, since an
Axis triumph in the Caucasus would
open the gates to the Near and Mid
die East, besides yielding abundant
wealth in oil.
The significance of military oper-
ationS in the Caucasus can be better
appreciated by understanding the lay
of the land. The basic factor is the
mighty mountain range of the Cau-
casus, which runs like wall athwart
the land-bridge between Europe and
Asia that stands between the Black
and Caspian Seas. At its western
end the range actually reaches the
oldCh OCd, AOo NAAAAo VOWSA
ing in places sheer from the waves.
That is why the Germans are having
such tough going in their attempts
to work down the coast toward Ba-
tum, near the Turkish border, the
last remaining refuge for Russia's
Black Sea fleet. On the eastern end,
the range does not quite touch the
Caspian. Between the mountains
and the sea runs a coastal plain, mar
rowing at one place to strategic
bottleneck known as the Gates Of
Derbent. This Caucasian Thermopy-
lac has, since the dawn Of history,
been q battle-ground for contending
armies. Just south OF 1t lies Baku,
whose vast petroleum deposits give
the Soviet Union most Of its oil sup
plies.
The Germans, however, are as yet
nearly 800 miles away from the Der-
bent Gates, though only about 100

COP Chairman

Joseph w. Martin, jr., has not had
an easy time as chairman of the
Republican National Committee, but
the rebirth of his party as major
factor in national politics is evidence
enough that he has made a good
lob of it. Normally, in these circum-
stances, his determination to resign
the party craftsmanship would de-
prive the Republicans Of a compe-
tent leader whom they could III
afford to lose. AS matters stand,
however, Mr.. Martin will have a
man sized job on his hands as
minority leader in the House, and
there can be nothing but commenda-
ton for his decision to devote his
undivided attention to that task.
Mr.. Martin became national chair
man Immediately after the nomina-
ton of Wendell Willkie in 1910 as the
party's presidential candidate. Prior
to that time he had succeeded in
welding the dispirited House Repub-
licans into an effective minority
group, this capacity for organization
becoming especially evident after the
1888 elections, in which the Republi-
cans scored large gains in the House.
Following Mr.. WILKES defeat, the
chairman found himself in difficult
ties with number Of his Republican
associates, particularly some Of the
party's important financial hackers,
who felt that he had been too far
over on the isolationist side. Mr..
Martin rode safely through these
squalls, however, and in March of
1941 he was drafted" for another
term as chairman. The campaign
against him was revived last spring,
but he stuck to his guns, and there
Is no doubt that his present decision

species are few in number. They are,
however, very destructive and vicious.
Let 1t be stated at once that the others
are not angels either.
They are, after all, hawks, and seek
their living by slaughter. But they
catch many small animals classified
popularly as "yermin," and when attack
ing birds usually carry of species which
are very numerous, as English sparrows.
The desire to kill every hawk on sight
is very general. but 1t is based on the
old killer instinct in humanity and .
very broad lack of knowledge of the
famous balance of nature.
Every one has heard about the ball
ance Of nature, but few perhaps have
stopped to consider that 1t is a very
broad thing. far wider than the personal
likes and dislikes of one person, no mat
ter how smart. 1t is q phrase much
talked about, but difficult to do anything
about because 1t requires a meeting of
many minds passing of information
from one to the other, and finally real
desire to put aside ones dislikes. In
other words, it is easy to understand
the balance of nature" In theory, but
very difficult to put it into practice when
one has a gun in hand. The balance
operates because the various creatures
are left alone. and to the extent that We
kill needlessly we unbalance it. It may
be that shooting, at times, is a part OF
the balance. Mankind's wars may help
to hold the balance true.
But the man with gun in hand who
shoots any hawk he sees is going to up

alive.

SILVER SPRING.

Dear Sir:
November is hawk month. You will
see more hawks this month than in any
other, don't know why, but that Is the
fact. Probably they are getting hungry.
This Is the only time they come to my
yard, where We feed the birds. Last
year . sparrow hawk caught an English
sparrow. He lived up to his name. 1t
was not very pretty sight,
II think all hawks should be shot on
sight. Surely there is nothing good
the country, on, . farm, we always shot
all the hawks we could, and we got =
lot Of them.
II will admit that hawks are pretty
birds, as birds 60. but there is an old
saying about pretty is as pretty does, and
on that count the hawks deserve death.
I do not want any hawks hanging
around my yard.
very truly yours, e. c."
Il II
This correspondent is mistaken in his
condemnation of all hawks.
In recent years the pendulum has
swung over to the favor of many OF them.
1t has come to be realized, with in
creased study of conservation the com-
try over, that the old-fashioned idea, as
incorporated in the above, is inaccurate
and unjust.
Hawks today are put into four classes,
as follows:
I. The wholly beneficial class.
II. The chiefly beneficial.
III. The balanced class.
Nv. The harmful class.
Eagles, hawks and kites form q great
bird family.
Hawks are classified according to their
effect on man and his domestic animals.
In the wholly beneficial class are the
large rough-legged hawk, the ferruginous
rough legged hawk, and four kites, the
white tailed kite, the Mississippi kite,
the swallow-tailed kite and the everglade
kite.
The chiefly beneficial class contains q
majority Of our hawks.
It includes the marsh hawk, Harris
hawk, red-tailed hawk, red-shouldered
hawk. short-tailed hawk Sennetts
white-tailed hawk, Swainson's hawk, the
short-wing hawk, broad-winged hawk,
Mexican black hawk, Mexican goshawk,
sparrow hawk and Audubon's caracara.
The class in which the harmful and
beneficial qualities are held by experts
to come close to balance, and therefore
tip the scale in their favor, includes the
golden eagle, bald eagle, pigeon hawk
Richardson's pigeon hawk, prairie falcon
and the great horned owl.
In the harmful class are the gyrfal.

Allied Offensive

The offensive which has been
launched in North Africa by Amerl-
can and British forces has given rise
to a great surge Of hope throughout
that portion of the world which is
free or which wants to be free.
After years that brought nothing
hut defeat and frustration-and in
which the legend OF Hitler's lnVln-
cibility spread across the contlnent
Of Europe-there is reason to believe
that the tide is turning against MN.
In Russia the Nazis are fast In the
grin of another winter. They have
won great victories-many OF them
but they have not been able to
break the Russian army and their
hope of ever smashing it grows dim.
In Egypt the proud legions OF Gen.
Rommel have been routed and Hit
ler's chance of breaking through to
the Nile has been missed. And now,
In French Africa, the Americans and
the British have launched their own
offensive, beating the Nazis to the
punch and threatening to wrest the
Mediterranean from the Axis.
AS yet there Is nothing to indicate
that this African offensive is more
than a limited operation. But the
scheduled landings apparently have
been made, Algiers has capitulated
and there is good reason to believe
that the positions which have been
taken will be held. Should these ex-
pectations prove to have been well
founded, then the stage will be set
for the real assault-for the prospec-
tive drive across the Middle Sea
which the Fascist commentator In
Rome had In mind when he said that
"the horizon is black for Italy" All
of this is a solid foundation for the
new hope which has sprung up
throughout the Allied world. Hitler
may not yet be seriously threatened;
1t may be too early to say that the
battle has turned in our favor. But
at long last the Allies are on the
march, and it is good to note the
apprehension in Rome and Berlin
that they will not be stopped.
The one dark spot in this picture,
the single source of regret, is the fact
that American and French forces
have come to blows. Happily, the
fighting appears to have been minor
in character, but no one can doubt
that the people of this country, with
their long tradition of friendship for
the French, would have greatly pre-
ferred to have avoided it altogether.
All Americans, however, will face
the fact that the attack had to be
made. And they will wage the fight
secure in the knowledge that Presi-
dent Roosevelt spoke the truth when
he told the French pople that this
blow was not aimed at them-that
the full sovereignty of France will be
restored at the first moment after
the Germans and the Italians have
been beaten. The people OF the
United States entertain no reserva-
tions about this, and 1t is to be hoped
that the people of France will know

miles from the shores of the Caspian.
Last summer, the impetus of their
decisive break-through on the lower
Don carried a gigantic motorized
spearhead across the level steppes
north of the Caucasus to what looked
like striking distance Of Grozny. an
oil field second in importance only to
Baku. Then they ran up against a
Russian defense line established
along the Terek, a deep, swift-how-
ing river which runs from the mid
Caucasus to the Caspian. For more
than two months. Axis forces have
been trying vainly to batter their
way across the Terek in the open
country around the town of Mozdok.
Baked in these efforts, the Ger
mans recently launched a hanking
drive through the foothills further
south, and that attempt has had a
limited success. The Axis troops have
now reached the line Of the Upper
Terek at the town of Alagir, which
is the northern terminus of a mill
tary highway over the main range
to the rich valleys of Transcaucasia.
That mountain road Is now deep in
snow, which may preclude Trans
caucasian drive until spring. But
Just across the Terek stands the city
of Orjonikidze, the northern end of
a still more important military high
way over the range, and once there,
the Russian line on the middle Terek
would be outhanked and a general
Soviet retreat might become impera-
tive. In that case, the Grozny oil
fields would be lost, and no good
strategic defense line would remain
short of the Derbent Gates, the key
to Baku.
This explains the desperate tenac-
ity with which the Russians are
holding their entire Terek line, and
the equally reckless Axis disregard
of losses in efforts to storm it. The
battle now raging there is crucial
On its outcome, the fate OF the Cau-
casus may well depend.

While the country Indignantly was

dissatisfaction with administration con-
duct Of the war in which the pampering
of labor barons has played the largest
part, greater gifts are bestowed upon
the labor obstructionists Of the war
effort.
Announced November is recognition
Of labor in each of the WPB industry
branches which bear upon operations
under the controlled material plan, thus
handing to these union dictators the
right to dominate the supply Of materials
to plants as well as men-one more step
toward life-and-death control Of all
industry and the individuals whose live
lihood depends upon them.
Feeling would not run so high upon
the subject If these so-called labor repre-
sentatives represented" but they are
labor bosses, not representatives. Thus
does the admins tration act upon the
clear political mandate from the people.
