mando raid-should be started
in Western Europe, They realize
the difficulties which stand in
the way of the United States
and Britain. such as the prob
lens of shipping, strong German
defense works, land-based air
fields. But the Russians believe
that a large-scale operation be-
tween the coast of the Neither
lands to some region in France
would worry the Nazis sufficiently
to compel the German high COM
mand to withdraw some of its
mechanical units and warplanes
from the east to meet the menace
from the west.
The insistence of the Russians
that America and Britain waste
no more time and begin to oper-
ate in Western Europe before it
is too late is comprehensive. but
in many military quarters in
Washington and London the ar
guments against such risks are
about as strong, if not stronger,
than those in favor OF an inva-
sion.
No Selfish COnsidera tions.
The last word regarding this
much discussed and for a while
widely advertised operation rests,
Of course, with the commanders
in chief, who are weighing care
fully the arguments of their
technical, military and political
advisers. The chief question is.
OF course, whether even limited
success can outweigh the conse-
quences of a possible failure.
Russia's struggle is the struggle
of all the nations involved in
defeating the Axis. Hence, there
will be no selfish considerations.
But the question is how the
cause of tthe Russians can best
be served at this time and wheth-
er, in the event of setback,
the effect would not be more
deteriorating to the morale of
the Soviet forces than If such
an attempt were not made.

Cooperation in Egypt
British, Dominion, Indian, Polish and French
Troops Fight Side by Side in Desert

A glance over the list OF units
serving in Egypt is informative.
No less than 20 famous British
regiments of infantry, including
two OF foot guards. are represent
ed there. Four of these regiments
provide sufficient battalions to
make up the 50th (Northumber-
land) Division, which is division
of the former Territorial Army.
The others make up the 10th Di-
vision. the British component OF
the 4th Indian Division. or are
attached to the 1st or 7th Ar
mored Divisions. Likewise in this
list appear the names OF Is regi-
ments of British cavalry and yeo-
manry, armored troops now,
which, with 7 regiments OF the
Royal Tank Corps, go to make up
the two armored divisions and to
provide a British regiment or two
for the Indian cavalry brigades.
Despite the disproportionate men
ton of the dominion troops In
press dispatches, it seems likely
that rather more than half OF the
actual combat units now present
in Egypt are from the British
Isles.
u. S. Air Forces Aiding.
This. of course, takes no &C
count of the Royal Air Force and
Royal Navy, which are prepon-
derantly British in composition.
The Allied forces present, be-
sides the Polish brigade and the
Free French brigade already
mentioned, include growing
component of the United States
Army Forces under Maj. Gen.
Lewis Brereton, which is cooper
ating closely with the Royal Air
Force. There is also to be con-
sidered the Egyptian Army,
which has not been engaged in
direct combat with the Axis
forces but Is proving valuable in
the maintenance of internal or
der, the guarding of depots and
lines of communication, and
desert patrol in nonactive sec
tors.
The task of commanding
force of such diverse composition
and co-ordinating its efforts by
land, sea and air is an extremely
complex and difficult one, and it
is fortunate that the crucial test
of this army's fighting powers did
not come until after it had been
welded by battle experience into
smooth working unit, in which
the troops of Britain, the do
minions, India, Poland and
Fighting France were able to
work together and fight together
efficiently. 1t is TINS sort OF JolnI
effort which the United Nations
will be called upon to make in
almost every theater of opera
tions of this war, and the more
experience that can be gained in
the problems to be dealt with, the
better of we shall be. For this
reason, If for no other, it is to be
hoped that the American contri-
button to the Egyptian campaign
may be increased in order that
we may gain more experience in
fighting alongside our Allies and
in the problems of joint COM
mand and close cooperation.

IlolQ idot tliciI Sllp OIl dll al cd
which has justly been called the
strateglcal arch of the British
Empire.
Considerations of military Sc
curly will not of course permit
the publication of a precise order
OF battle, but general descrip-
ton Of this imperial army may
not be without interest.
OF a total of eight divisions
which have been identified in dis
patches, four are British divisions
1.-TWO infantry divisions and two
armored divisionS. There Is one
Indian division, composed of
about third British and two
thirds Indian troops. There is one
New Zealand division and there
are Two South African divisions.
In addition it is probable that
one Australian division has now
arrived, and there is also the
famous Polish Carpathian brl-
gade and the Free French brigade
OF motorized infantry. There are
also al least two Indian brigades
of motorized cavalry.
It is natural enough that the
chief mention should be given in
our press to the troops from the
domlnions. 1t is much more in
teresting to the American reader
to be told that the New Zealand
ers have done thus and such, or
that the Australians are fighting
like devils to retake the Hill Of
Jesus than to absorb the COM
paratively dry mention of the
5Oth Division or the 7th Armored
Division.
Names Give Personality.
1t is a personal interest as
against a mere dry figure which
somehow never seems to become
imbued with the VIVID personality
which attaches to name. In the
A. E. F. in the last war, the men
very quickly gave names to all
the divisions, by which they came
to be known almost to the ex-
clusion of their numbers. The
British divisions, like the British
regiments, have names, too, but
the War Office communicates do
not publicize them. This is rather
curious because the British Army
about 60 years ago abandoned the
practice of using numbers for
regimental designations in favor
of names as being more likely to
contribute to high morale.

This Changing World
Opening Of Second Front in the Pacific to Relieve
Chinese Seen us More Profitable in Long Run

The Chinese are less vociferous
because their fight against the
Japanese is less spectacular. But
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
himself is as insistent as Russia's
Premier Joseph Stain that we
start offensive operations in the
Pacific. Although deprived OF
modern war equipment and cut
of from United States and Brit
ish sources of supply, the Chinese
armies have put up a remarkable
fight under the most difficult
circumstances.
Gen. Chang not only has had
to battle the enemy but he also
has had to make serious efforts
to keep on his side number OF
dissident generals who have been
unable to see any profit for China
from the war. He has managed
to keep them in line by spending
some of the millions advanced by
the United States and also by
telling them that the japanese
eventually will have to pay heav-
lily for their crimes since Amer
lea Is now In the war and will
some day settle Japan's score.
Chinese Front Is Important.
Both arguments have prevailed
in most instances so far, but the
question is, how much longer can
Gen. Chang keep the war lords
under control? Since the lines OF
communication with the outside
world have been disrupted, the
money received from America
has only a relative value.
1t. Gen. Joseph w. Stilwell,
commander OF American forces
In China, and other United States
military men in the Far East are
pointing out that while less spec
tacular, the Chinese front Is
vastly important to the United
Nations in general and to Amer
lea in particular.
The Chinese are now hardened
soldiers, and, given the neces-
sary equipment-even in smaller
quantities than that given our
allies on other fronts-could per-
form a remarkable Job. Should

that the United States make a

This request for a second front
in the Pacific also is carefully
considered, and there are many
professional soldiers who believe
that in the long run an attempt
to open our offensive 'front.' in
that area before the end of 1912
might be more profitable and less
costly than any other operation.

@. Just what Is being done TO I'M
prove overland transportation facil-
ities2
A. Everything possible. Tank cars are
being modified for east coast and Pa
cific northwest service, pipeline serv-
ice is being improved, and barge
movements are being increased and
co-ordinated.
@. Are tank cars being used in the
Pacific northwest?
A. Yes. In the week ending April II,
seven companies hauled 1920 barrels
of oil a day, an increase of about II
percent over the preceding week. About
1880 tank cars are in Pacific north
west service now. The problem of
transportation is particularly acute in
this area because the railroads are
single-track lines.
@. Has there been much increase in
tank car shipments from producing
areas to the east?
A. Yes, an enormous increase. A year
ago about 1000 tank cars moved oil
from the Gulf and id-Continent
states to the east. In the week ending
April IL, some As, 300 cars were In east
coast service, and 10 companies moved
586,35O barrels Of oil daily-an all
time high. The movement is being
speeded up by operating the cars on a
7-day basis, reducing layovers at ter
minals, eliminating cross-hauling and
back-hauling, using motor transport
trucks instead Of tank cars for short
hauls, and by other means.
@. If this is true, why do we still
have a gasoline reduction?
A. Because the increased overland
movement has not been sufficient to
offset the reduction in tanker service
Remember that many war industries
are in the curtailment areas. These
industries require increased quantities
Of fuel oil and other products. Thus
available overland facilities must first

transport oil for essential war-industry
needs.
@. Are there enough tank cars in
the country to carry all the oil needed
on the east coast?
A. Yes, but not enough locomotives
could be made available to haul them
in this service, and the congestion in
terminals would be staggering. Re-
member, the railroads have enormous
loads of other war materials to haul
and can't turn all their facilities over
to oil.
@. What is being done about pipe
lines?
A. Since last fall, three major pipe
lines have been completed through the
cooperation of the Office Of Petroleum
Co-ordinator. The Plantation and
Southern lines have a total capacity,
when brought to full operation, of
10000 barrels of petroleum and petrole-
UNI products daily The third-from
Portland, Me, to Montreal-has a ca
pacity Of 10000 barrels daily.
