HitIer's Victory
CIui m Di Scounted

1.-The most interesting feature of
fighting" on the peninsula, but gave
no details. Berlin correspondents
of Stockholm newspapers said it
was a poisonous nerve gas"
or device that threw mines filled
with liquid air, both of which the
Germans were using in the Crimea.
The general opinion was that
the nerve gas" and liquid air
mines" were similar to the hot
air propaganda Minister Josef
Coebbels has manufactured in the
past before German adventures.
London observers thought that
the German attack was no more
than a reconnaissance in force to
find out how strong the Russians
were.
Just before the Radio Berlin
broadcast Hitler's communique, it
stressed the might of Soviet pre-
parations in the Crimea
1t said the Russians aimed to use
the Crimea as Springboard for
thanking offensive against the Ger
man southern front, and these are
the powerful positions that the
German and Ru...anian troops are
now attacking, after having thWart-
ed during the winter the Soviet
attempt to outflank the German
southern front"
Imperial Valley press., 1942-05-13

LONDON, May l3 UP) A
British military commentator said
today that the battle on the Kerch
peninsula was still raging, as radio
Berlin blared a communique from
Generalissimo Adolf Hitler's head
quarters that the battle had been
decided and the Russians ovefrun,
encircled and annihilated.
The first Russian communique
today did not mention fighting in
the Crimea, but it was believed to
continue in full fury, and earlier
dispatches had said that the Rus
slams had killed at least $500 Ger
mans while smashing scores of
tanks and dive bomberS.
The Germans communique claim
ed that 10000 Russians had been
taken prisoner, that the Germans
were pursuing the beaten Rus
slams toward Kerch," on the east
ern side of the peninsula. and that
the Russians had lost 62 tanks,
500 guns and 26) planes.
There was nothing from any re-
liable source to substantate Hit
ler's communique. Front line re-
ports said, on the contrary, that
the Germans had gained almost
nothing since they began the at
tack last Friday.
The British commentator said
the attack might be a preliminary
of the spring offensive that Hitler
bad promised so long, but so far,
the battle was purely a local opera
ton.
The Kerch battle is attack and
counter-attack and there is no evil
dence presently to make US believe
that a main attack has started on
the southern front" he said.
He added that the British had
no details" of reports that the Ger
mans were using a new nerve
gas"
we understand that the Ger
mans are equipped with new re-
spirators, but we don't consider
that pointed TO new poisonous
gas but merely to progress in gas
masks and we attached no parti-
cnlar Significance TO it," he said
The German radio boosted about
an entirely new weapon" that was

ATTACHES DOWNED
The Germans were throwing
planes, especially dive bomberS, in
to the Kerch attack on a wholesale
scale The Soviet communique sup
ported this report; it said a total
of 102 German planes were shot
down Sunday and Monday. The
Russians lost Is planes Monday.
An official dispatch said a Ger
man formation of so planes had
been reduce to nine since the be-
ginning of the attack.
On Monday, the communicate
asserted, the Soviet air force de-
stroyed seven German tanks, 81
motor vehicles loaded with troops
and supplies, three field guns, 10
machine guns, besides blowing up
two ammunition dumps, sinking a
schooner, demolishing railway
train and two locomotives and dis
persing and partly destroying a
German platoon of cavalry and a
company of infantry.
The Russians were believed to be

lively with loW-flying StormoVik
planes, using an especially-m made,

DANGEROUS ENTERTAINMENT

christian Science Monitor)
Entertainment" is hardly the proper
description of that feature of the United
Service Organizations program at Fort
Devens (Mass.) this week, in which a
hypnotist will experiment with mass
mesmerism of soldiers. Already the hyp-
notist engaged for this exhibition is re-
ported to have put eighteen men to sleep
Hamilton. New York.
In an era when mass meSmeriSm has
played so great a part in enslaving ma
tons, its practice among soldiers in train
ing to fight for freedom is at least anon
alouS. The sinister nature of hypnotism
is not sufficiently understood either by
those who submit to it or those who prac-
tice it If it were it would not be passed
off as subject to be lightly regarded,
as it has been among some OF the officers
and men at the camps, and as 1t may be
by well-intentioned organizers Of Army
shows
The exhibition announced for the L. S.
O. program represents mesmeriSm IN
one of its relatively mild forms, to which
the average person may find no reason
to object. But one of the dangers OF mes
merism is the fact that it appears in
those very forms which do not immed-
lately antagonize but rather anaeSthe-
tie its potential victims. Its practice,
or submission to its practice, is the re-
verse of recreation. 1t can do soldiers
no good and may do them much harm.
The U.S.O. should escheW such expert
ments in its programs.

Frederick May Eliot is one Of the noted
American ministers. He comes naturally

Charles w Eliot, president Of Harvard,

lege presidents that this country has pro-
duced.
1--WE are at war" says the present Eliot,
land we have taken up all the horrible
implements of modern warfare; but our
purpose is to put an end to the CHASTITY
possibility that lust, greed and barbarism
shall rule the world.
1--WE have faith in man, in his power
to meet the threat of armed hates and
cruelty by the greater power of armed
idealism and sanity.
Eve believe that victory over evil can
be achieved without surrendering our
loyalty to the things that are true and
honorable and just.
1--WE believe that our faith has met the
tests of centuries of actual experience
and will meet those of today and tomor-

it was only for a moment. And we are
not afraid
Any American may feel proud to sub

MOSCOW, May IS CUP) - The
Red Army has killed at least $500
of the Germans attacking on the
narrow Kerch peninsula, while
smashing scores of enemy tanks
and dive bombers, front dispatches
indicated today.
The Germans were believed to
have made almost no gains, and the
Russians, it was said, were return
ing blow for blow.
The early communique today did
not mention the Kerch fighting,
saying only that last night moth
ing of Importance occurred on the
front"
PLANES DAMAGED
Reports of the fighting were
scant and inconclusive. The Soviet
communique last midnight said
Russian troops on the peninsula
had stubbornly fought the Ger
mans all yesterday.
1t asserted that a squadron of
Stormovik planes commanded by
Lieutenant MoSpanov, in raiding a
German airdrome, had set 10 enemy
planes on fire and damaged % 9TH
ers. Dispatches from the front said
the Black Sea fleets air arm de-
Stroyed more than 20 German
planes ard repulSed an attack on
city, presumed to be Kerch.
Russia planes also were striking
