BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Nazi plans for an all-out offen-
sive in the Mediterranean in the
next few weeks may be thrown
into complete confusion by the
unrelenting drive of the Russians,
who claim that they have pene-
trated White Russia, occupied by
the Germans In the early stages
OF the war.
Although reports from the Rus
sian front are sketchy, it seems
certain that the Germans have
not been able to stem the Rus
sian advance, which, while not
particularly important yet, as far
as territorial gains are concerned,
is of vital importance to the ex-
tent that 1t wears down the
enemy.
The most reliable reports from
the few remaining European neu-
trails indicate that the Germans
have begun an important concen-
tration of aviation on the shores
of the Mediterranean and on the
Greek and italian islands in
that area.
For the last four weeks daily
raids have been made on Malta,
the British stronghold midway
between Gibraltar and Alexan-
dria. These attacks are regarded
as an indication of Nazi efforts
to soften up the island before
they send their gliders bearing
parachutists in an attempt to
take that British fortress.
Railway travel by civilians be-
tween Germany and Southern
Europe has been at a halt since
the middle Of January. Musso-
lini has been ordered to muster
his few remaining fighting divi-
sions and send them to Southern
Italy and Sicily. Italian men-of-
war, which have been hibernated
since last November, are active
again, making reconnaissance
trips outside their mine and net
protected harbors. German air
squadrons have reached Greece
and Yugoslavia in recent weeks.
All these indications. to which
must be added the visit of Reichs-
mashal Hermann Goering to
Rome, point to an early Axis
offensive in the Mediterranean.
But this new military move of the
Germans, which military quar-
ters In Washington supposed
would be synchronized with
japanese victories in the South
Pacific, may have to be delayed
because of the situation on the
Russian front.
The Nazi high command is said
to have counted on stopping the
Russian counteroffensive by the
middle of January or the first Of
February. This hope is said to
have been based on the general
staff's calculation that the Rus

In Role OF Destiny.
His soldier parents would revolt
at the suggestion that he leave
Bataan now. He is in the part
which destiny set for him as a SOL
dier, on the job the War Depart
ment assigned to him, his name tied
to an immortal epic in our military
history. Beyond the parental and
Army inheritance, bred into him, is
the example for his little son
Arthur.
If an order came for his transfer
now, his friends agree that he would
protest against it with all the ap-
pealing and forcible language Of
which he is master. Or he might
turn deaf ear to the radio message
as England's great Admiral Nelson
turned his blind eye on his supe-
riors signal to draw off in the
Battle of Copenhagen.

This Changing World
UnreIentins Russian Drive May Breok Up
Noz P!ons for Mediterranean Offensive

SLAMS would be exhausted by that
time and In no position to con-
tinue their costly drive. The lull
the Nazis expected on that front
would have given them a chance
to strengthen their forces there
without BASKERVILLE their south
ern armies would have launched
a blitz against the British In the
Mediterranean.
The Nazis are relying, it is said,
on their overwhelming air superi-
ority to make the Mediterranean
blitz as successful as the Japa-
nese operations in the South Pa
cific. The second offensive
against the U. S. s. r. was due to
begin a few weeks later.
Despite heavy losses and the
difficulty of obtaining necessary
supplies, the Russians have con-
tinued their drive beyond the
time the Nazis expected them to
stop, drawing heavily on their re-
manning reserves of aviation and
other war material.
During the winter campaign
the Soviet relied more on the
valor Of the individual Red SOL
dier than on mechanical equip
ment. Cavalry was used to
certain extent and achieved ex-
cellent results. Infantry was
thrown against the German lines
without large-scale tank or air
support.
In every encounter the Rus
slams came out victorious, mostly
because the Germans were used
to fighting with overwhelming
protection from their air force
and tanks. These could not op-
crate in the subzero Russian
weather. ....
Moscow Asks U. s. Aid.
The situation Is likely TO
change, however, in the next few
weeks, when the weather becomes
a little less severe. Then the
Russians will have reason to fear
Nazi air and mechanical superb
ority again.
Soviet representatives in Wash
ington and London are pointing
out that their armies have per-
formed miracles with relatively
little support from American and
British factories. They under
stand quite well that since De-
cember 7 we have had to build
up our own forces in the United
States and the Pacific. But they
point out unhesitatingly that If
we want them to stop the Nazis'
spring offensive we will have to
rush all the war material we
promised them last fall when
the British-American mission
visited Moscow and Premier
Stain insisted he must have

BY GOULD LINCOLN.

Forty men in the House and
23 in the Senate are bear
ing today the tremendous bur-
den of sitting and passing on
the items which 60 to make up
the billions upon billions Of dol
lars which Uncle Sam is pour
ing into national defense and the
regular expenses of Government.
They constitute the House and
Senate Committees on Appro-
priat.ons. 1t is their job to take
the estimates of appropriation
and expenditure which are SUBJ
mitted to Congress by the Presi-
dent and the Budget Bureau and
whip them into shape for legis-
lative enactment. They are sup
posed to know the need for each
and every dollar before they
agree to place them in one of
the appropriation bills.
During the present week, the
largest appropriation bill in the
history of the country - the
world-was presented to the
House by the Appropriations
Committee of that body. The
Fifth Supplemental National
Defense Appropriation Bill for
1912" was its title. 1t carried the
fantastic total of s32,170, ,90l 900.
Before it reached the floor OF
the House, this measure was
handled by subcommittee of IL
members of the Appropriations
Committee, and then passed
upon by the full committee, and
finally reported by its chairman,
Representative Cannon of Mis-
souri,.
That is the regular procedure
with appropriations bills, in both
House and Senate. 1t makes for
efficiency and speed to have these
bills divided among subcom-
mittees, for hearing and for final
drafting before the full commit
tee takes a whack at them.
Dwarfs Previous Record.
During the last World War,
when this country entered upon
a great military and naval pro-
gram, the largest single appro-
priation bill enacted into law
was for a total of $12, 100000, 1000.
The hugeness of this measure
was a nine-day wonder at the
time. Today, it has been dwarfed.
The total national defense ap-
preparations and authorizations
for the three fiscal years begin
ming July /, 1910, and ending
June 80, 1943, have reached Sl42,-
005,345,613. And the end is not
yet in sight, for other appropria-
tions for the war effort are to be
made later in this year. Included
in this total is approximately ST.
OO,OO0,0OO to complete the con-
struction of the "two-ocean" Navy.
1t is almost impossible to con-
ceive of spending such vast sums
of money. Yet those who handle
these bills-the members OF the
committees-are authority for the
statement that the program has
been admirably presented-much
better than during the First
World War. True, it is an impos-
sibility for the members Of the
committees to say that all of the
items involved are wise-but they
at least have a comprehensive
view of the whole picture. They
must rely. of course, on the ad-
vice of the military and naval au-
thorities. Members of Congress
are not in a position 10 know how
many aircraft. how many tanks,
how many guns and submarines
are required for the job of bring
ing victory.
