ceeded calmly, punctuated only
by an occasional friendly brawl
or one of Lucia's love affairs.
Then Ekaterine came.
Phil Stong details the trouble
a girl can create in his new
novel, 1.-THE Iron Mountain
House" (Farrar g. Rhinehart:
$500 and lives up to his previ-
Gus record in producing another
story as vivid as State Fair"
and as lusty and laughable as
"Ivanhoe Keller" Stong aims
at entertainment, succeeds ad-
mirably.
Stong fans have come to ex-
pect realism from their favor
tie, and are not disappointed.
The entire motivation is based
upon Ekaterine, the rivalries and
hatreds she aroused, and Horace
Sturges' efforts to prevent
wholesale murders.
Stong deserts his Iowa back
ground for the Minnesota min
ing region. His stout midwest
ern characters are replaced by
equally strong Americans of i'm
migrant stock-Swedes, p o ! e S,
Latvians, Firms, Serbs-who dig
the ore for hungry steel mills.
The antagonisms of the O d
World are still strong within
them and Ekaterine started a
little European war as effective
ly as Hitler.
Charley Jarhaily and Hjalmar
Hoaglund were the first to come
to blows over the favor of the
Latvian beauty. Ekaterine was
not only pretty. She had maid
ed" for grand ladies on the
Continent. She was poised,
clever, but she did not know
the men of the mines.
What might have been passed
off as an ordinary fight became
a feud that was to claim three
lives before Captain Ryan, fore
man of the mine, stopped II.
But the feud fails to crowd
romance out Of Stong's work.

LET'S NOT KID OURSELVES


Because 56-yeor-oId man who in
sisted on boxing with heovN~eiehts,
running quorter-mie in close to q
minute, and swimming rivers suddenly
dropped dead of heort ottoek, some
amateur stroteeists assume that the
German high command is folling to
pieces.
This is wishfuI thinking. and it does
no good at all to speculate along these
lines. Won Reichenou, the German gen.
eroI concerned, may have had no heart
trouble before, but he has certainly
been flirting with it for long time it
the reports of his athletic exhibitionism
are correct. After erueln9 military
campaigns in which he has been under
great strain continually, he falls decd.
So what? As to his own internal condi-
ton it proves something or other. As
to the internal condition of Germany
it proves nothing.
MussoIini is q vain, fat, boldheod-
ed man Of So, who also loves to go
around humping on his bare chest in
emulation of youthful viriity. He, too.
may we'll be flirting with the under
toker, but thot doesn't prove that Itoly
is about to break into thirty thounsond
pieces
The sooner we stop wshfuI think
ing about how soon the axis countries
ore going to foil apart, and get busy
tearing them apart, the better it will
be for U.s.
We must fight all the way. 1t will
not do to mark time compIocentIy un-
til 1913 when our Legendary volume Of
production will so ostound the Axis
partners that they will all sinuton-
eousIy fall fIot on their faces.
We must fight in 1912. We must
fight now. We must fight in the Phil
ippines, giving General Macarthur
and his admirable fighting men any
support we can We must fight in Mo-
Ioyo, and at Midwoy Island. We must
fight in the Dutch Indies and in Aus
troIio. We must get the men and the
planes on the scene and fight - now.
Fortunately there are signs that it is
being done.
1t will not do to sit and dream Of
some overpowerine offensive in l943.
II nothing more is done than that, we
may wake up and find that the Axis
has won the war in 1912
Germany, badly mouIed as her
eastern army has been in the Russion
campaign, is by no means through.
No competent mi|tory observer doubts
thot she is able right now to take the
offensive in other theatres, and may
we'll be back pounding at the door Of
Russia in the spring. The British vic
tory in libyo, while magnificent. is in
conclusive as long os Tripoli remains
in Germon-ItoIion-Vichy hands. Japan
has not yet lost q trick, and shows no
sign whatever Of weakness.
This year is not just one long year
to sit and woit for l943. The French
tried that on their Moeinot Line and
regretted it later. This is year to
fight, not to sit open-mouthed waiting
for break in the form Of Axis cove-ins.

FROM AMERICAN HEARTS

Who doubts the determination or
the American people, has not seen
them offering the literal blood OF their
heorts to safeguard as best they may
the lives of the soldiers and sailors who

In response to an urgent call from
the Army and Navy for blood PIosmo'
zoo. 900 Americans are stepping quiet
" forward to offer thot blood. The
American Red Cross is receiving the
donotions Of blood, and taking core
Of its processing into dried Plosmo'
shipping it then to army posts, ships,
and first-oid stotions where it may save
lives.
II is. not desperate or heroic
action, this giving Of pint OF blood;
vet blood is life, and who gives blood
thus gives little 1.-THE, perhaps, OF his
own life to save that Of another. Liter
ally from the beating heart OF Amer
ico comes this offering, freely and un-
dramatically given.
Have you forgotten what America
mems? Go to one of these Red Cross
stotions for the receipt Of blood dono-
lions, and watch the people come,
quietly, with suppressed eoeerness hid
en- eneoth an outer layer Of dePreco-
ton, lest they be caught looking melo-
dramatic.

thought. Yet he is here. and tomorrow
when they ask him about it at the drug
store he will back away with depre-
getting "A-o-ow! 1t oin't onNhine"
But he is here.
Here is slender young woman, her
eyes too bright, her cheeks too roueed,
her fineernoiIs too scarlet, her dress
and manner suggesting that even in
her youth she has seen things better
left unseen. Yet she is here. Has not
she too q heort, and does it not beat
with American blood?
Here is shopeless woman with
great red hands, She speaks not word
Of English. But her blood, gushing
through. the tube into the gloss recep-

The com- bnation of forces lined up against the aggresSors IS sufficient to bring victory to the United Nations al though the triumph may be delayed by improper strat egv and tardY acceptance of the wars demands.
 The next 50 days will give the measure of the task that confronts the United States and estimate of the cost in blood and money How well the Russians withstand the savage German onslaught will decide the extent of our eNertlon.
 In Russia the fighting continues to place the Red Army in desperate straits but the information that comes from the Soviet is restricted that il is impos sibe to foreteI with accuracy what the future holds for the fighting SlaVs.
 The spectacular German advance into the Caucasus may have been accomplished only at terrific cost in men and material. On the other hand it may have inflicted enormous losses upon the defending armies. Whether Marshal Timoshenkos withdrawals have been orderly upon strategic considerations after decisive defeats the world al large has way to tell According 10 all reports, be safely assumed that the Red army will continue the struggle regardless of loss but nevertheless it should be recognized that there is possibility that continuing German advances may make il all but impossible for the Soviet 10 keep great army in the field.

 The entire is shrouded in mystery, with Amer- cans knowing little of what goes on in the Pacific, much less Europe Asia and Africa This is illustrated by the Japanese occupation of few of the Aleutian islands. where the strength of the invaders has not been made public
 Naturally, it is not wise for the Army and Navy to take the public into complete confidence about such matters.
 This is the way fought and the public and writers about the must be satisfied even if they cant tell what is going to happen, where and when

Activities In The Pacific

Reported activities against the Japanese by Gen. MacArthurs forces in the South Pacific and by Am erlean forces in the North Pacific are indicative of the beginning of a determined movement to drive the Japanese from the western ocean
 The people of the United States should understand that the Japanese retain considerable striking power in the Pacific
 The destruction of five Japanese aircraft carriers and the damage of others at Midway and in the Coral Sea did not destroy the striking power of the Japan csc Navy It may have established parity in regard to ar carriers. In other respects, the Japanese Navy possesses distinctive advantages in the Pacific area. From the tip of Aleutian Islands to Honolulu and then to Australia the American fleet is operating over c l000-mle line of battle. Along this are, as much as 2500 miles separates of the islands and the entire line is more than 2000 miles from the American mainland which must supply the fleet with planes guns, ships, shells gasoline and other necessities
 The Japanese operate on interior lines of communi- cations with shorter distances to advanced bases They had long start in the fortifcaton of island outposts
