BRITISH IN
BLAST OUT
ON ISLAND
Warships, Planes Attack
Mediterranean Foot
hold Of Axis
(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

British warships and planes, with
in the past "a hours, have blasted
out In the easternmost Mediterran-
can foothold of the Axis, the Ital-
ian island of Rhodes, just off the
Turkish coast.
The assault suggested the British
are in readiness for any spring time
move of the Axis and to supple
ment the war of Russia by a south
eastward stab at Turkey.
Most astonishing of the latest
reports in the war with Russia is
Berlin's bald admission the Red
Army has preached the German
line on the Central front during a
heavy snowstorm and that heavy
defensive fighting has developed
there"
This admission appears to be the
special announcement of the Hit
Ter Command.
While the regular communique
admitted the Russians have re-
newed attacks against the German
forces on the Kerch Peninsula,
Crimea, the common opinion of
many war observers is that if Hitler
can't get his promised offensive
underway against Russia he GER
tainly will make a stab toward the
Caucasus through Turkey. In such
event the Italian island of Rhodes,
off the Turkish coast, might read
lily serve as forward base. This
island has been attacked by the
British sea forces during the past
"a hours however.

100000 Checks Being Sent
Today 10 Soldiers Kin

Approximately 100000 october
checks totaling s1e,5OO,ooo were to
be mailed from the War Depart
ment today in payment of family
allowances to eligible relatives and
dependents of soldiers, as the law
requires.
AS time goes on, the allowance
payments will increase steadily. in
volume each month as more and
more applications are made. The
number of checks now being mailed
is about twice the number mailed in
September and it is expected that
twice as many payments will be
made in November as in October.
1t will require 10 days to send out
the last check. OF the total num-
Der, 35,363 were said to be first
payments authorized for october
The remainder represents the Oc-
tober payment of allowances which
were authorized and on which pay
ments were made last month.
Several thousand clerks are en-
gagged night and day in the task of
getting the allowances approved and
paid as rapidly as possible The
applications first must be reviewed
and passed on by the Adjutant Cen
erals Office, while the Allotment
Division OF the Finance Department

second front is marching, watch out,
and turn back from Russia) !"
Hitler said. j
I'VE. however, did not watch out
and did net turn back. but pursued
our way and marched on.
Thereby I DO not want to say
that we did not get ready for a
second front. When Mr.. Churchill
says Now we want to leave that to
the Germans to think over in their
fear where and when we shall open
the second 'front.' I can only say:
Mr.. Churchill, I have never been
afraid of you.
you are right by saying that we
are compelled to think things over,
for if had an opponent of military
distinction I might be able to calcu-
late where he will attack.
IF, however, one is confronted
with military idiots one naturally
cannot know where they will at
tack. 1t may even be the maddest
enterprise"
Hitler declared that If the British
tried again to invade Europe-the
Germans still count the Commando
raid at Dieppe as an attempt to in
wade the continent-they could call
themselves lucky II they stayed for
nine hours, as at Dieppe, for I'VE
have made thorough preparations
to welcome them"

Britain, Unmoved by Speech
ReconciIed to New Air Blows
Considerable Doubt Expressed That Hitler
Will Be Able to Garry Out His Boasts

Hun pilot swept down within few
feet of the roofs of sweet village
in Southern England and bombed
a large number of boys to death
in their school. Still. John Bull is
smart to anticipate that such COM
paratively quiet condition won't con-
tinue indefinitely
At present virtually all Hitler's air
power, apart from essential home
defense, is engaged in his now-or-
never assault on Stalingrad and the
Caucasus. One wouldn't expect him
to withdraw any of this strength for
some weeks yet until he achieves
all he can before winter calls halt.
However. once the Caucasus show
slows down the Nazi chief will be
able to withdraw a large part of
his air fleet.
Whittier then?
Well, 1t strikes me that he will
be faced with numerous difficult
problems which are developing.
Shortages in Air Force.
In the first place, his air fleet is
no longer the great weapon with
which he started the war. He is
short of warplanes. pilots, oil and
gasoline. His firSt-line planes have
been and still are undergoing ter
rife wear and tear in the non stop
carnage at Stalingrad. Before he can
undertake any wholesale bombing
of Britain, or any other extended
engagement, he must go in for a
thorough overhauling, and that will
take time.
A corollary to this problem is the
Anglo American air strength al
ready in the British Isles and stead
lily growing. The Allies have su-
periority in the air over Western
Europe and are reaching for abso-
lutte supremacy.
Then, too, since Hitler Stacked
off on his bombing of Britain when
he started his offensive against
Russia this summer, defenses of
these isles-both air and ground
have been vastly strengthened.
AS this is being written l can hear
the steady drone of Royal Air Force
patrol planes as they swing over
London-sweet music to the popu-
lation-and we presume that similar
scouts are covering every strategic
area. There have been great i'm
provements in anti-aircraft de-
fenses.
All this will take some beating.
Question of Second Front.
Maybe Hitler will have other
projects on hand at that time. For
instance, he might decide to throw
his strength into his now stationary
offensive against Egypt. He might
try to reach the Middle East by
using his air force against Syria, by
passing Turkey,
And there are other possibilities
which one can foreSee.
Finally we come down to the ques-
tion Of that second front. In con-
nection with this it is interesting to
discover that the British public is
experiencing a lively hunch that the
Allied high command Is cooking ur
something in the way Of q new Of
fensive.
As q matter of fact, I've encoun-
tered this feeling among military
observers on both sides Of the At
XX
