Two Hundred
Hostages
Held
British Claim to
Have Repulsed
Germans

With unconfrmed reports cur
rent that Hitler's favorite hang
man, Reinhard Heydrich, had sue
cumbed to assassin's bullets. a
purge Of blood such as Europe
has never seen was predicted today.
Two hundred hostages, includ-
ing high government officials and
university professors, were report
ed rounded up at Prague for pos
sible slaughter.
1t was said that three women
were shot at Prague last night for
sheltering persons without identi-
fcation cards and that IL persons,
including Ave women, were SEN
fenced to death at the city of Brno,
100 miles southeas OF Prague, for
unstated reasons.
In the meantime the Russians
claimed new successes in the Tx
raine battle while in Egypt Brit
ish tanks were reliably reported
to have repulsed German motorized
forces which had engaged in a
charge aimed toward Tobruk.
Land fighting was almost entire
ly between tank forces. with hun
dreds of machines ranging through
a 50.mile-wide strip east and south
east of Ain ell Gazala. anchor point
of the elastic British defenses,
when the sudden Axis campaign
was launched late Thursday night.
Artillery helped to force the Axis
tanks to give ground and the RAF
kept up incessant bombing and
strafiing raids. Axis air activity
was reported on a considerably re-
duced scale.
British headquarters regarded
the situation as satisfactory, but
admitted that the situation could
change quickly. H.
The Ukraine battle OF attrition
rolled on early today with the
Soviets announcing the repulse of
steady Nazi tank and infantry
charges in the Izyum. Barvenkova
sector Of the Donets basin, south OF
Kharkov, while American-equipped
Red airnen shot down 113 German
planes in two days.

a MEXICAN air forces

two sensational an d
successful operations against
the Japanese In the Pacific
war, i'm a manner suggesting
a change in the whole char
acter Of the war.
Within the space Of about
one week, American bomb
bardment craft made destruc-
tive raids on japanese posi-
tons In the Philippines and
wrought great devastation
upon Tokyo and other cities
In japan itself. ST.
Thus the war, at least mo-
mentarily, has turned en-
couragingly In our favor and
grimly against Japan.
Thirteen giant bombing
planes few four thousand
miles to accomplish the
Philippines mission. and
twelve returned safely.
They smashed bases, docks,
shipping and planes, battered
troop concentrations and
made a thoroughly workman
like job OF an enormously
difficult and dangerous task.
How the raid on Japan was
accomplished, or what 1t
achieved or what 1t cost, we
do not know--except as the
japanese version of the mat
ter discloses.
That the assault was dar-
ingly conceived and brilliantly
executed the Japanese them
selves do not conceal.
IL STIRRED bitter outcries
from the Japanese people"
as their own spokesman at
test, and therefore must have
been successful.
1t was unexpected, and
caught throngs of japanese
offguard, and killed and In
jured y great many people,
and Of course IS regarded by
the Japanese nation as most
inhuman," which we may well
agresSit appears TO be from
their standpoint.
But of course the japanese
people realize they have been
making the pattern for such
methods of warfare for a long
time.
They have been bombing
not merely unsuspecting cities
for more than a decade, but
entirely undefended and help
less cities.
III they have done this with
impunity and without reprisal
for this long time and ex-
pected always to do so, that
Is their mistake.
As our Holy Bible, which
comparatively few of the
japanese people understand
and very few respect, says:
"They hare soCn the
iCind, and they shall reap
the WhirlaCind."
Japan has only seen the
FIRST of our bombers.
Japan will only see the last

stored and are determined
and pledged to restore.
