GULF:
Frontier Command

AS the submarine menace contin-
ued to mount in the Gulf of Mexi-
co, the U. S. navy created gulf
sea frontier command and the army
at the same time placed the coastal
region along the gulf in a military
area. This would mean that the dis
trict along the gulf coast from Flor
ida to the Rio Grande would be sub
ject to dimouts and blackouts.
Rear Admiral James Laurence
Kaufman was chosen by the navy
to command gulf sea frontier and
Lieut.. Gen. Walter Kruger, head
Of the southern defense command
for the army, was in charge of the
land fighting forces in the district.
No evacuation of citizens was or
dered and the army emphasized that
civilians within the military area
would not be restricted except as to
lighting.
Headquarters for the navy forces
fighting the submarines in the area
will be at Miami.

MEXICO:
Power for Can,ach0

With Mexico's proclamation Of
hostilities, II of the 81 American
republics became aligned in the
war against the Axis. In addition
to the United States, war has been
declared by Costa RIGA, Cuba, Qua
temala, Panama, Haiti, the Domin-
lean Republic, Nicaragua, Ell Sal
vador and Honduras. Eight other
Western hemisphere nations have
broken off diplomatic relations.
In paving the way for war on the
Axis, the Mexican senate approved
a bill to suspend IA constitutional
guarantees, including freedom of the
press and the right Of habeas cor
pus. The vote was SO to 0.
Gen. Salvador Sanchez, chief of
Mexican general staff, announced
that a supreme national defense
council with Camacho at it's head
was being established to mobilize re-
sources and manpower. The high
command has ordered strong army
units into positions on the gulf and
Pacific coast.

their positions, the Germans threw in
large reserves for three days in
continued counterattacks. All coun-
terattacks were repulsed with great
losses to the enemy"
Claiming a brilliant success in the
19-day Kharkov campaign, the Rus
slams admitted the loss of $4,000
troopsA5,OO0 killed and 10000 miss
ing. However, Red army COM
munique claimed the capture or kill
ing of 10000 Germans.
The same communique pointed out
that Soviet offensive operations in
the Kharkov region were started
only in order to forestan the an
ticipated blow of the Nazis. The
Russian plans did not include the
capture of Kharkov. The commune
que concluded: ''Now that these bat
ties are nearing their end, it can
be said that the main task put for
ward by the Soviet command-to
forestall the German blow-has been
completed.
German losses in fighting equip
ment were placed at $40 tanks, ap-
proximately 1900 guns and more
than 200 planes. Russian losses were
listed at 800 tanks, 1872 guns and 1874
planes.
Important enemy lines in the Kali
min sector northwest Of Moscow
were reported taken by the Russians
after three days of repulsing coun-
terattack. German dead and wound
ed were estimated at LOO. Several
other German strongholds on the
Leningrad front were reported de-
stroyed with lesser Nazi losses.
Meanwhile, Berlin broadcasts an
nounced a series of Nazi successes
in local attacks on the central and

AUSTRALIAN FRONT:
Exchanges


After hull of over week, aerial
fighting on the Australian front be-
gan again. This time it took the
shape of series of exchange blows
by first the Allied forces and then
the Japanese.
Heaviest Allied attacks were by
American and Australian planes
striking at enemy invasion bases at
Rabual and Lac. There was also
heavy raid on the Jap seaplane
base at Tulagi in the Solomon is
lands.
The Jap hit back hardest at Port
Moresby, his main objective for
many past weeks. Damage to mill
tary installations here were slight,
said General MacArthur's- head
quarters.
A U. S. army communique an
nounced that the Army Ferrying
command had evacuated 1928 per-
sons from Burma during the past
several weeks.
The Jap midget submarines were
believed destroyed in an attempted
raid on Sydney. The war bulletin
stated that 'the enemy's attack was
completely unsuccessful.

This was not the first time that the
Chinese had accused the Japs of

LIBYA:

Of the opening of a new offensive
by the Nazis across the sands Of
Libya in a drive for Egypt, then
Iraq and the rear gate to the

It was Field Marshal Erwin ROM

tank forces against the British in
this hot desert campaign. But ROM

HITLER'S EUROPE:
Gets q Taste

From London came the first word
Of the new United Nations offensive
against Hitler on his home grounds
occupied Europe. This first word
was described as part propaganda
and part actual heavy aerial war
fare. The propaganda effect was
to strike definite element Of fear
into the hearts of the German peo-
pie by announcing that high u. S.
officials had arrived in London to
plan an about attack upon the
Nazis.
There was loud talk of nonstop
bombing attacks on the Reich. Said
some reports, these attacks would
be the heaviest and most fearful the
world had ever seen. For the first
time American bombing crews were
taking their places in the nonstop
bombing raids being dealt to indus
trial centers Of the Rhineland.
The London radio let the Ger
man people know that Britain was
being visited by u. S. Services of
Supply Commander Somervell, Air
Borne Command (Ground Forces)
Commander Lee, SOS Chief Of OPP
erations Lutes, and SOS Transports
ton Services Chief Gross. Army
Air Forces Commander Arnold and
Chief Of Naval Operations (Air)
Towers had arrived previously and
were already in conference with
British military and government
leaders, said an official report from
Allied headquarters in London.
SOS Commander Somerveu told
a London press conference that u. S.
and British officials were comforting
on a program to standardize mill
tary equipment, including tanks and
planes.
From Washington came a report
quoting Army Chief Of Staff Marsh
all as saying that American troops
are landing in England and they
will land In France"
Cologne
But the Nazis had something to
listen to that was stronger than
propaganda. It was the whir Of
1850 British bombers and the thud
of 5000, 900 pounds Of high explosive
bombs as the Raj unleashed the
''most devastating aerial raid in his
tory to level and burn three-fourths
of the industrial city of Cologne in a
single night.
Called the first of the 'four-fgure"
bombing raids on German industrial
centers, this raid on Cologne saw
British bomber swoop over it's OBJ
jective once every six seconds.
Equipped with both British and
American-made planes the raiders
were reported by London sources to
have made the vicious Nazi annihi-
lations on Britain last year look fee
BILE by comparison.
Even Berlin admitted that terrific
damage had been done. The Royal
Air force used so many planes in
the mass raid that anti-aircraft de-
lenses were of little use. This meth
cd was described as ''super-saturat-
ing' the Nazi target field so that his
aim was constantly diverted. One
after another the planes dove low to
blast their detectives. One Canadian
f1ier was quoted as saying that when
his turn came so much of the city
was in flames that he felt like leav-
ing the scene and seeking another
target. It didn't seem possible, he
said, to do any additional damage.

Physical Training

More than one military authority has
said this will be long, hard war. America
is being advised to ready its youth for e.
ventual military service.
A rigid physical training program is
being suggested in public schools, and this
would not seem unwise. For the enemy
we are fighting has been trained from
childhood for military career, yet our
youth could see no equal if they are pre-
pared both mentally and physically for
war.
It is almost a responsibility for every
American citizen to condition, himself for
the best service he can give-whether it be
for work on the home front or fighting on
the battle front.

The Highest Tribute

Many highly commendable statements
and tributes have been paid to Congress
man r. L. Doughton during recent weeks
and years, but one of the biggest compli-
mentS he has ever received is contained in
the statement issued this week by DR.. A.
P. Kephart of Blowing Rock.
Announcing the withdrawal of his
candidacy in opposition to Congressman
Doughton he stated personal and poll
teal ambitions should be submerged
wherever they have any significant re-
lationship to the promotion of the war eff
fort" and then explained that 1--WE are ask
ing our party to serve notice on the nation
that the Republicans of the ninth congress
sional district have faith enough in Mr.
Doughton to wish to strengthen his hands
one more time by making him the repre-
sentative of all of the people of this dis
trict by unanimous vote, thus recogniz-
ing his ability, integrity and intense patri-
otisn". ... -
!: Another significant sentence contained
in the statement is that wherever condi-
tons are comparable that our example be
followed in the nation by all political par
ties to the end that parties may thus come
to serve the interests of all the people,
particularly in times of crisis, that the
war effort may not be delayed or made
secondary
1t takes true American, a true patriot
to reach such wise and logical conclusion.
