vorable impression in Britain.
Director Goodman has been in
vited by the Lord Mayor of
London to serve on Civic Re-

Mitchell 0kay

Boston University's HOWE
Mitchell is playing a brilliant
game at end for the Terriers
this year. There isn't a ter
minal at Harvard, B, c. or any,
thing else in the East playing
a better collegiate end than
the sepia star for the Scarlet
& White.
Mitchell lis bearcat on de-
Tense and also would be a high
scoring wing but for the fact
that few of the B. U. backs can
toss the ball like Chuck Thorn
as, This is the year that Bos-
ton University is short on good
backfleld men. A few years
ago HOWE Mitchell reported to
the Terriers as a halfbacK, B.
U. had too many good backs
and requested Mitchell to play
end, position he's been playing
ever since. HOWE is an all
around athlete. He is a star
basketball guard, a pitcher Of
the B. U.U baseball team, and
a superb football player, A few
years ago when B. c. Eagles
played the Terriers it was free
ly predicted that the huge B.
C. line would romp through
the B. UU. crowd. In that
game, HOWE Mitchell, only a
sophomore, was crashing
through like gangbusters. iie
is a real proven grade A end.

Russian Troops Driving Toward Polish Border Smash Nazi Lines
Soviet Warships Blazing at Both German Ends of
 Extended Front
BY NJ. S. HANDLER United Press Staff Correspondent

Moscow, Feb. 18.-(UP)-Russian shock troops driving westward toward the Polish border have smashed a strongly fortified Ger man defense line based on a series of strategic villages, dispatches from the front reported today.
 The reports did not identify the villages, but indicated the large scale Soviet thrust cleared the way for new advance on the central front.
 The pressure of the Russian drive was said to have forced the Ger mans into nasty retreat. Dispatches gave this description of the ac- tion:
 While pursuing the Germans, who abandoned a big vilalge, the Russians ran upon a line defended by extensive fields of barbed wire and numerous batteries, artillery and mine throwers.
 Combined Attack
 Soviet artillery, tanks and infan- try immediately opened a combined attack, forcing the German com mand to order its infantry to take up positions in snow fields to pre- vent break through.
 Soviet artillery smashed 36 pill boxes enabling tanks and infantry to breach the line at many points and forcing the Germans to aban- don their positions and retreat west ward"
 Dispatches from the northwestern front said Soviet artillery was op- crating on "zerO-zero' sights and point t-blank range in an effort to speed mop-up operations against the Germans.
 In one engagement, the Russians were said to have moved their guns during the night within 300 and

German Fuehrer Stabbed His Foe in Russia to Dis
 rupt Beliefs JAPAN IS ALREADY
 SPREAD OUT THIN Fighting Over Area of 6,OOO Miles From Burma
 to Own Islands
BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE (Of the United Press War Desk)

If Australian fears of a Japanese invasion are real ized, and if Japan tries to attack India and push across the Indian Ocean to Mada- gascar, a suggested possibil- ity, the ambitious Nipponese may be sowing the seeds Of their future undOing.
 Japan is no more invincible than some people once thought Hitler was, especially before he stubbed his toe in Russia. And there is a limit to Japan's ability to stretch out her resources over about one third Of the globe.
 Japan already is spread rather thin, in an attempt to do everything at once before the might of the United States and Britain make themselves felt. If this extension is continued too far, Japan will have exposed an Achilles heel to the United Nations.
 Japanese Position
 To sum up the present Japanese position:
 They are operating over about 5000 miles from Burma to their own Mandated Islands.
 They are heavily committed ii China, which they have not bene able to Subdue in four and half years. ChiaEg Gai-Shek has an estimated 5000,00 men to oppose them. Perhaps half of the avail- able Japanese men under arms are tied up there or along the Soviet border.
 They are engaged in major operation in Burma.
 They are trying to overWhelln Sumatra, Borneo Celebes and Java.
 A large part of their forces are involved in Manila, thanks to Gen. Macarthur.
 Under the circumstances, an at tempted invasion of Australia and India might be equivalent to stick ing her neck out. It is interesting to note that H. J. Van Nook. lieu tenant governor of the Dutch Indies, observed in Sydney today that a large scale invasion of Australia would mean such a drain on Japa- nese forces and shipping that he does not think they will try it.
 Might Be Other Reasons
 Japanese attacks on Timor and other islands close to Australia might seem to presage an attempt to land at least on northern Aus tralia and occupy the naval base at Port Darwin. It might for the pres ent, however, be more to retard the sending of endorsements by sea to Java.
 The Indian ocean naturally offers a tempting prospect to Japan. Her naval forces now have unimpeded access to it past Singapore through the Strait of Malacca. The line of supplies from Britain and the United States flows past Cape Town to Suez, the Persian gulf India and China.
 Japanese submarines undoubtedly soon will be operating in the Indian ocean. 40 occupy Madagascar. with Vichy's connivance, as 8 base of operations closer to the middle east shipping lanes would be more am- bilious project.
