Where They Are Fighting
(From the National Geographic Society

From the mountain top of ancient
Kerch, Hitler's Army of the Crimea
hopes to see the coveted shores
of the oil-and- -mineral-rich Cau-
caSuS.
Driven out of the city by the
Russians winter counteroffensive,
the Germans have been attempting
to beat their way back and emulate
a long list of conquering races
that have made Kerch their own.
Ancient Celt akin to the present.
day Irish. classic Greek and Roman,
raiding Hun and Goth, Genoese
from medieval Italy and oriental
Tatar and Turk have been some
of Kerch's masters.
The city, lying on the eastern
neck of the Crimean peninsula,
dominates the Strait of Kerch. At
the narrowest point the Northern
Caucasus is only miles away from
the Crimea. Linking the Black
Sea and the Sea - Azov, the
strait guards the Red Fleets gate
wav from Rostov in the north to
the Batum oil depot in the south
and to the DardanelleS in the west.
Called "Pompeii" Of Russia.
Rail terminus and seaport, pre-
war Kerch had a population OF
more than $4,000. Oil wells, asphalt
diggings, iron and sulphur mines
were nearby. Mud volcanoes and
saline lakes made it health resort.
Kerch is called the Russian Pom
peii. A cross-section of its ruins
is a slice OF European history. Its
burial mounds, opened by archeolo-
gists in 1925, yielded treasure troVe
of ancient art.
The Golden Mound on the slopes
of Mount Mithridates in Kerch con-
cealed a big stone vault containing
golden dishes. The Mound Of Gin
ders was the tomb of an ancient
Greek King and his Queen. He
wore COLDER bow and buckles. She
had a golden diadem, necklace and
breast jewels. A golden vase lay at
her feet. Another tomb contained
what is believed to be the Oldest
Greek mural existing. It dates
from the fourth century BIC. A
Christian catacomb bears the date
49l. The Church of st. John the
Baptist, built in TIT, presents
specimen of purest Byzantine art.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 19.-The

feeling of loneliness and frustra-
ton among our people, especially
our YOUTH according to DR..
Charles H. Sheerin, former vice
president of the National Council
of the Protestant Episcopal Church.

peal to your children must be pre-

the two-day convention of the West

copal Church last night. These
programs should include security,
fellowship and an opportunity for
the individual to grow"
Asserting "a feeling of restless
ness is evident in the smallest town

in the suffering and sacrifice being
endured by our people unless there

For $500 years or more, Kerch has
felt the impact of the wars between
civilization and barbarism.
Cimmerians First settlers.
First known settlers of Crimea
were the Celtic Cimmerians. They
were driven out by the nomadic
Scythians, who allowed the ancient
Greeks to establish colonies Many
Crimean towns still bear the names
of Greek origin.
Greeks from Miletus, an Indian
colony in Asia Minor, established a
city republic at Kerch in the sixth
century B. c. They built their
acropohs or citadel atop Mount
Mithridates. Their homes and
tombs clustered about its foot and
slopes. They called their city Pan
ticapaem. Presently it became cap
ital of the Crimea and a kingdom
succeeded the republic.
Shortly before the Christian era,
the Greeks q,,arreled with the
Scythians and called on King NTH
ridates of Asia Minor for help.
Instead he took them under his
yoke. He, ip turn, was vanquished
by the Romans, and Julius Ceasar
declared Crimea a province. Roman
baths still existing in Kerch are a
relic of this era.
Goth and Hun raided Crimea at
the time they swooped into Italy.
The barbaric Khazars followed them.
After the crusades, the Genoese
founded colonies. They were ex-
PEELED by the Grim Tatars, who gave
their name to the peninsula, and
80 years later the Russians defended
the peninsula in the Crimean War.
Kerch suffered severely in the con-
f1ict.

zoe, 900 workers on the Yunnan-
Burma Railway have escaped from
territory overrun by the japanese
and are awaiting reassignment in

The mission headed by 1t. Col.
v. H. Hass of Memphis, Tenn, had
been working since october on the
southernmost 800 miles Of the TOO
mile route which was to link Kun
ming with Lashio to speed defense
supplies to China.
The fall of Rangoon prevented
the delivery of rails which were to
be laid this fall. The first 800 miles
were to be constructed with Ameri-
can lease-lend aid, the ramainder
financed by the Chinese govern
ment, partly from donations OF
Chinese in the United States.

A NORTHERN IRELAND PORT
May 19-I have just crossed the At
lantic with a huge American convoy
that outfoxed enemy submarines all
the way.
We had TO push the periscopes

2,400-mile voyage of daring and
skill.
The destroyers and planes de-
livered thunderous depth charge at

In convoy work the job is to get
the troopship through. You don't

him when you think he Is near and

The vicious explosions left no doubt
in our minds that some more strang-
ers would have breakfast in He'll

We were near enough to the target

have escaped.

guns night and day.
This eagerness was one of the
cheering things during the voyage.
Our Yankee kids have the utmost
confidence in their ability to knock
down planes.
So thousands and thousands of
cheering Yankee soldiers-mechan-
lied men of Americas new world
girdling Army-have arrived here
after their dangerous and fog-ridden
journey.
With these jaunty lads came the
millions of dollars worth of battle
tools-ready for instance use.
The value of our convoy and its
ultimate effect on the war are like
the operational details of our trip
military secrets. But I am allowed
to say that it was the largest yet
to arrive here.
Men Better Equipped.
The soldiers of this war are better
equipped and prepared than the
lads who rushed overseas In the last
conflict.
They have a new type of helmet
that affords more protection. Their
rifles shoot harder and faster. Their
food is more plentiful and scientif-
calyl planned
They are sturdier, healthier, and
as cheerful as kids at a circus. Some
grew homesick at times. Others got
seasick, but all carried on.
