heightened Lines and
Growing Resistance Seen
Increasing Troubles
BY the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Feb. 13.-Pravda pre-
dicted today in . lengthy review OF
the Pacific war that Japanese difl-
culties would increase through
heightened communications and
growing Allied resistance.
I'm the progress Of the war the
reserves Of Japan will be exhausted,
while the reserves Of the united
front Of the U. s. A., England and
China will grow" the Communist
party organ said.
Developments In the Pacific
clearly show that the struggle will
be stubborn and prolonged"
Operations Of the American Fleet
and air force in Macassar Strait
testify to the growth Of Allied re-
sistance," 1t said.
"They also prove that the jap
anese were not and will not be
able to prevent deployment of the
forces Of the Allies which undoubt-
edly are preparing counterstroke,
this being in particular confirmed
by the surprise attack Of the Ameri-
can Fleet on Japanese bases on the
Marshall Islands.
TN addition. operations in Ma
CAESAR Strait bode considerable diff
ficulties for the Japanese in their
further southwark advance, the
more so that it involves still greater
extension of their communications,
with insufficient forces for securing
them.
"Tt should be borne in mind that
with the growth Of Allied resistance
and further extension Of hostilities
In the South Seas area, the jap
anese command will be compelled
to increase the strength Of troops
operating in the present theater OF
war.
In estimating the situation in
the Pacific. one cannot pass by ac-
tivization on the Chinese-Japanese
front. where stubborn fighting de-
veloped in the southern China area
which may imperil the Japanese
land-communication line"
Pravda spoke Of Japan's victories
as temporary successes"

DR.. A. Barkne Coulter, director OF
the Bureau Of tuberculosis, District

vanced" tuberculosis and said the

Loyal Legion Hears
Capitol Dome Called
Tribute to Lincoln

The Capitol dome is as great a
tribute to the memory Of Abraham
Lincoln as the beautiful Greek
temple on the banks of the Poto-
mac" Robert Lincoln OBrien told
members of the Danes Of the Loyal
Legion yesterday.
Speaking at the annual Lincoln
Day breakfast Of the District So
ciety at the Mayflower Hotel, Mr..
O,Brien recalled that the Capitol
dome had been completed during
the Civil War by direction Of Presi-
dent Lincoln against great opposi-
ton and numerous protests.
THE Nation was at its darkest
hour" the speaker said, "and many
thought the dome, which was under
construction, should not be COM
pleted until the outcome of the
struggle was decided. Mr.. Lincoln
directed that the work should con-
tinue. 1t was" an example Of his
faith in the power and unity OF the
American people.
I'VE must think of the dome pri-
marily as monument to Lincoln
militant; the great temple on the
Potomac Is monument to Lincoln
triumphant" Mr.. O'Brien added.
The speaker was introduced by
Mrs. Jerome J. WILDER, president
OF the District Chapter of the So
ciety.
Mrs. David Good, national presi-
dent, came from her home in Phila-
delphia for the occasion. Speaking
briefly, she urged members to keep
the Republic impregnable while our
boys are fighting away from home
and not permit the enemy to win
the victory here at home"
Others at the speakers table in
cluded Frank B. Steele, secretary
general of the Sons of the American
Revolution, and Mrs. Steele; Col.
Charles Mason Remy, Mrs. E. S.
Alvord, Mrs. Warren Haines and
Mrs. Edward Everett Gam, presi-
dent of the League OF Republican
Women.
Throughout the luncheon and fol-
lowing the program appropriate
music was played by an orchestra
from the United States Navy Band.

Further the report stated that IN

kers, there were almost 1-2 times
as many men as women, while for
Negroes there are five times as ma

In measuring the ratio of females
