 The arrest of Borgnaes leaves but one of the 27 originally charged with conspiracy to be apprehended. Dan- iel J. Leary is still missing.
 Borgnaes, his wife and two young sons lived in Copenhagen, Denmark, during the four years of his absence from the country. He worked as an accountant for all insurance firm and until the invasion of Denmark by the Germans he lived on plane comparable to that he had enJoyed in America.
 He said the happiest moment of his life was the beautiful day in June when at last aboard the Drottningholm and she steamed out of Lisbon leaving Europe behind. The little man with the odd-shaped horn-rimmed glasses, said he felt he had a "fifty-fifty" chance of coming back into the country with out being recognized by Connecti- cut authorities.
 In spite of the seriousness of the charges against him and the reali- zation that prison terms ranging as high as 10-15 years have been meted out to men charged with the same offense, his enthusiasm for having been aolo to return to this country with his wife and children is not dampened.

MAC ARTHUR:
Spirited

Although MacArthur's men on the
island Of Luzon had continued to put
up a spirited resistance to over
whelming numbers Of japanese in
vaders, there were certain aspects
of late communicates which had
pointed to the fact that the battle
must be entering its decisive stages.
And Washington was holding out
to the American public no hope that
there could be any outcome but final
defeat, though temporary, IN that
theater of the war.
The Japs had evidently turned
lMacArthur's right flank somewhat,
if not completely, and reports Of a
landing on the Bataan peninsula
were highly disquieting.
The brave little army was putting
lup a terrific defensive fight, but
Washington observers pointed out
that much of its success depended
on maintaining communications with
.Corregidor, and it was up to the
right flank to maintain this connee-
Hion.
Tokyo communicates had shown
that MacArthur's army was fighting
bitterly to maintain this.

u. S. NAVY:
A Hint or T'tuo

Nothing in the form Of detailed
COMMUNICATES about naval activities
was coming out Of the Pacific, but
occasionally there was hint or two
which showed that Uncle Sans
Union Jack was not waving ainniess-
" about in those waters.
One of these was a dispatch from
a correspondent aboard one OF the
battlewagons, who wrote to the
press that the navy was active, was
sinking Jap submarines, was on the
lookout for unwary Jap ships and
dropping them to the bottom OF the
sea, but was not allowing itself to
be trapped.
He also. stated categorically that
among the detectives OF the navy
was to prevent a repetition OF Jap
attacks on Midway and Johnson's
islands, or on Pearl Harbor.
A further hint that showed the
Japanese might have cause for the
filters concerning the ocean situa-
ton came from an official comnu-
nique that three japanese vessels
had been sent to the bottom OF the
Bay of Tokyo, uncomfortably close
to vulnerable Japanese cities as the
two American vessels torpedoed off
Long Island, not by the Japanese,
but presumably by U-boats.

SUBMARINES:
German Losses Heavy

The war in the Atlantic, partlcu-
larly since the United States started
patroling, has resulted in heavy sub
marine losses for Germany, A. v.
Alexander, first lord of the adj
miralty, declared.
He said that thousands of the
Reich's best submarine personnel
had been drowned or captured, in
Guiding many of Hitler's top-fiight
commanders.
He said:
"a heavy toll is being taken, and
it seems clear that one of the great
problems of the enemy is to man
his new submarines with sufficiently
trained crews.
Meantime the strength Of the
royal navy is growing despite heavy
and repeated casualties"
1t was one of his first statements
since the loss of the Repulse in
Singapore waters.
He was unable to deliver it in
person because he was busy with
Prime Minister Churchill, who had
Just flown in from Bermuda, thus
terminating his stay in the United
States.
Churchill was greeted like a re-
turning conqueror, and was cheered
to the echo wherever he appeared.
sHELLFIRE':
Important Surrender
Poles, British and Free French
were in the British force which
stormed and forced surrender Of
Halfaya pass, the ''hellfire" strong
hold which twice before in this war
had changed hands on the Libyan
front.
The pass is a break in the escarp-
ment near the Libyan-Egyptian
frontier, and forms a supply route
which saves the British or Ger
mans, as the case may be, 100
mile detour by a southern route.
Fifty-five hundred Germans and
Italians surrendered at Halfaya
pass, raising the total of Axis pris-
oners taken in the British victory to
81, 900.
The taking of Solum, another ere
sistance pocket" back of the British
lines had cut off Halfaya's de-
tenders from aid from the Medi-
terranean, and they were surround
ed by land. Any supplies they got
fell from Axis planes, and the British
had mastery of the air.
So Halfaya fell, and the victory
was hailed by the British as of far
more import than Immediately APP
peared.

photo was made in Indianapolis,
where she assisted in launching a
bond sale drive. It was while re-

Lombard, her mother, is air pilots,
presumably those engaged in ferry

fields, and FIVE others.
There had been no immediate data
on sabotage, but the average observ-
er was wondering when there were
more than SO lives lost in 48 hours
in six crashes, FIVE of them army
planes (three bombers and two fight
ers) and one of huge transport
plane with Is pilots among the pas
sengers.
The transport plane crashed into
the side Of an 8,500-foot mountain
at night, thirty-five- miles out of
Las Vegas, shortly after the pilot
had reported good weather.
Army secrecy shrouded the mill
tary- plane crashes, but the sudden
wave sent uncomfortable tinglings
along the public spine, wondering
whether the ships had been tam
pered with.
In the case of the crash in which
Miss Lombard lost her life, she was

sold more than $4,000, 900 il defense
bonds in Indiana, her birthplace.

THERE rs SOMETHING

What can do for national de-
tense? That's yhat oil american
,oomen are asking today. Kath-
Teen Norris believes there is
something each of US can do, if
it's only taking care of children,
entertaining service men or do
ing any Of the mental tasks sOon-
en- called to work in factories
or on other defense projects must
necessarily leave undone. We
cannot all serve in the front
lines, but sue can all do Our part
to keep things running smoothly
behind the lines. This is no time
for selfish nagging and ground
less fears. 1t is time for cour-
age and for action, and there is
something you can do to help.

IF YOU are one of the many
women who have been act
4 ing badly since America
went to war, now is the time for
you to make a fresh start.
Any woman who INDUCES in
vague, groundless fears, COM
municates them to her neigh
bors or allows the children of
the household to be frightened
is bad American.
Any woman who complains
constantly of change, of the ris-
ing cost of food, of the things
she once could afford and can't
now is bad American.
Such women are not worthy of
the protection and liberty their flag
has given them; they are essential
ly stupid, a drag upon the supreme
effort to which all America is now
committed.
Nobody wants to hear their trou-
bles; there is not one of us women
in our broad land today who has
not plenty of her own. What we
need from each other is courage
and laughter, ingenuity in solving
the new problems and filling the
new blank spaces, and faith that
looks, as the song says, beyond
the years."
If your boy is in the service he
may not come home. Granted. Or
he may come home blind or Grip
pied. Granted. But the CHANCES
are that he will return to you whole
and unhurt, and when he does you
must be ready to help him live in
the new world. A poorer world, a
world burdened with tremendous
problems, but, I believe, happier
one. A world with its eyes wide
open to the fact that peace as well
as war has its battles to win, and
while there is a slum or hungry
baby or a work-hungry man I'M
employed in that world, it can hold
no prospect of a secure and honest
| future.
Do you realize that in England,
after all the bombings of the past
year, the death rate was slightly
BELOW what it had been in normal
years? What's the answer?
The answer is that the starving
! poor had been brought out of the
! fearful city slums, the men set to
work, the women given jobs, and
all Of them fed. And also because
the children had been shipped to
country places, where, despite ex-
traordinary difficulties, they had
been slowly brought up to the levels
of luckier children, decently fed and
housed and trained.
And because there was so much
less motor traffic. It would be a
very terrible battle that cost US 3d.
600 lives, and manned and wounded
| 100, 900 more Of our boys. But that's
what careless driving cost US last
year and will cost us this.
Autos More Dangerous.
You don't tremble and shiver and
shut doors and cover under beds
because motor cars are racing over
the highways, yet there is greater
danger in steering wheel trusted
to incompetent or intoxicated hands
than in enemy bombs. Especially
as borabs, which have not conquered
gallant England, must come thou
sands of miles to reach us.
Make no mistake, America and
her Allies will win this war, as
America has won every war, little
or big. upon which she has en-
tered, even though the odds were
heavily against her. 1t may take
her year to get her full forces
into action; and as she pushes the
invaders steadily out of one strong
hold after another, it may take her
another year to finish the job. But
| time is on our side.

Our resources are limitless; to
compare the manpower of all the
other nations of the earth to that of
a united America, England, Russia,
China, Holland and all the smaller
nations-overwhelmed now, but not
always to be powerless-is to show
a comfortable four-fifths Of the
worlds fighting energy on our side.
1t is tragic, and we women feel
it bitterly, that it must come to this;
that evil must be invoked to over
come evil, and peace-loving peoples
be forced into the smuggling tactics
of the gutter.
Can Signify Strife.
But we can elevate, we can dig
nifty and justify it if we keep in mind
the great detectives; that little ma

fears and complaints don't enter.
Where Mother finds ways Of making
meatless meals delicious, of turning
the blackout room into the cosiest

MALAYA:
Resistance

For some time it had been evil
dent that a supreme battle for air
mastery over Malaga had been in
progress, perhaps spreading to the
whole southwest Pacific area; now
it had become plain that British
resistance was steadily growing,
and that the final and desperate
battle to save Singapore was in the
offing.
It seemed likely that this would
take place at point about so miles
from Singapore, perhaps closer,
somewhere on a line south OF the
Maur river.
It was with considerable surprise
and no little concern that the British
announced the Japs had crossed the
Maur and had established bridge
head on the southeast bank.
Previous gains which had showed
the Japanese $50 miles down the
Malayan peninsula had caused no
such battle as did the attempt to
wipe out the Maur river bridgehead.
Final picture of the Malaga front
would be a line about 100 miles wide
running generally from east to west,
with some inevitable salients caused
by irregularities of the terrain.
Against this wall, said Major Cen
eral Bennett, the Japs were expect
ed to hurl their full force of artillery,
tanks and planes.
The counter picture, however,
was more encouraging to the Allies.
Australian transports loaded with
men and machines were arriving at
Singapore at long last, and plane
reinforcement, particularly fast Buff
falo (American made) fighter planes
were appearing on the front and
were doing terrific execution.
This had been the sort of thing
the Australian government had
been crying out for during several
weeks. The ''singing Aussies" were
going into combat, were reported to
have hurled at least one section of
attacking Japs back into confusion.
There was no disposition on the
part of the Malaga defenders to be-
come cocky, indeed Major General
Bennett was rather on the pessimis-
tic side, and said it was likely that
the Japs before long would be knock
ing at the doors of Singapore.
But in general things were little
more on the upturn side, and many
believed the tide of the Singapore
battle might be turning.
Certain it was that it had been
heterogeneous army which had
faced the Japs up to this point.
From now on it looked as though
the Aussies were taking over, planes
and men, and that the Japs might
have found, as they did in the Chi
nese battlefields, foemen more than
worthy of their steel.

LABOR:
APeace Offer

John L. Lewis, who admittedly
threw a personal monkey wrench
into the machinery of labor unions
which sought to make peace between
CLIO. and ALL. prior to the war
declaration, now had extended the
olive branch of peace "as war
move"
The bushy-eyebrowed leader Of
the United Mine Workers, originator
of the breakaway from the ALL.
in the first place, back in 1896, wrote
to Philip Murray, head of CLIO,
suggesting that peace negotiation
be started. He also wrote in the
same vein to William Green, presi-
dent of ALL.
President Roosevelt repeatedly
had sought to bring about just such
an outcome.
Each effort had failed. 1t had
been more than year since the
last try was made.
Lewis, in his letters, said:
SIT is my opinion that under con-
ditions existing at present there is
a justification for the belief that
further effort could achieve success.
cit is obvious that if Accomplishment
could be achieved, with unified and
competent leadership the results
would be advantageous and in the
public interest. Heretofore this has
not been possible.
Conditions are now changed.
America needs unity in every phase
of its national economy"
