that could happen to him would
be to retire.
Answer Came Too Late.
British naval and military men
are in the same position. The
commander in chief on one
front cannot order men from
another front. even if he needs
them desperately. 1t is GER
tain that if Gen. Sir Claude j. Z.
Auchinleck had had the neces-
sary authority he would have
ordered men and war material
from England many months be-
fore Nazi Field Marshal Erwin
Rommel made his attack at
Tobruk. But he had authority
only to report to London and
demand endorsements.
That these we're never sent in
such numbers as to enable him to
take the offensive is obvious.
The story is told of the Brit
ish commander south of Tobruk
who had to call up Cairo for au-
thority to counterattack after
Marshal Rommel had withdrawn
In the face of superior British
numbers. Cairo called London
and London called Washington
because, at that time, the Brit
ish Prime Minister was confer
ring at the White House on mat
ters of worldwide importance.
The story may be apocryphal, but
it illustrates a point which un-
doubtedly has much to support it.
In military quarters in both
Washington and London it is
emphasized that things went
badly during the last war, too,
until the command of all thea
ters of operations was placed in
the hands of one professional
soldier-Marshal Ferdinand Foch.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN,

The several attempts to estab-
lish unified military command
for the United Nations have
failed, and the idea has been
given up as impracticable. The
set-up which has existed since
the outbreak Of war remains in
force.
Fundamentally there is two
headed command for the Allies
composed of President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Churchill.
These two men alone have au-

Momentous decisions on where
to fight and where to rush reinA>
forcements also rest exclusively
with these two leaders. Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill
must keep an eye, however, on
the political situation in their
respective countries, because a
serious setback in the field might
have grave repercussions at
home.
The result of this two-headed
command is double hesitation
when it comes to taking the
initiative against the enemy.
Whenever some small local sue
cess is obtained or a spectacular,
even If disastrous, raid like that
on Dieppe is performed, the pub

They Make Decisions.
No one doubts the courage of
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill
in making decisions.
The various units in the field
or at sea are directly under the
orders of their respective gen.
erals and admirals who, as q
rule, must keep an eye on the
desires of Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Churchill.
Mr.. Roosevelt now has a first
class technical adviser, Admiral
William D. Leahy, permanently
at his side. The two are pretty
close friends, which enables the
admiral to express opinions with
a bluntness which other officers
would hesitate to use. Admiral
Leahy has the further advantage
OF having no personal ambitions.
Consequently, he can speak
frankly. If he should anger his

defeated for denomination, the
Democratic nominee is former
Gov. Brann, who has been known
as strong vote getter in the
past-although in his last start
he was defeated for the Senate.
Not little, therefore, may
hinge on the outcome of the
gubernatorial contest, for the
head of a State ticket may swing
others on the ticket to victory or
defeat.
Friends Booming Norris.
The Republicans are by no.
means giving up hope for clean
sweep in Maine. They recall
that two years ago, when Pres
ident Roosevelt was a candidate
for reelection and the Demo-
Gratis were moving heaven and
earth to make a good showing in
Names election that year, the
COP won hands down.
After this week has ended all
congressional and gubernatorial
nominations this year will have
been completed except in a half
dozen States; Massachusetts.
Michigan, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, Wisconsin and Rhode Is
land. In the first five, the pri-
mary elections fall on September
Is, and in Rhode Island, where
nominations are made in party
convention, the Democrats will
nominate September 28 and the
Republicans the following day.
Out in Nebraska, where the
party nominations have already
been made, petitions are being
circulated by friends of Senator
George w. Norris, who wish to
put him on the ballot as an indie
pendent, for reelection. These
petitions have to be filed hv
September 24-and the expecta-
ton is that they will be COM
pleted and filed several days in
advance of that date.
A Senate Tradition,
The Senator, who so far has
not said whether he will or will
not agree to make the race, then
has 10 days in which to accept
the nomination on an independ-
ent ticket, or reject it. Certainly
Senator Norris will be a, candi-

Pull the Trigger on
Lazy Bowels, with
Ease for Stomach, tot

When constipation brings on acid in
digestion, stomach upset, bloating, dizzy
spells, gas, coated tongue, sour taste and
bad breath, your stomach is probably
''crying the blues" because your bowels
don't move. 1t calls for Laxative-Senna
to pull the trigger on those lazy bowels,
combined with Syrup Pepsin for perfect
ease to your stomach in taking. For years,
many Doctors have given pepsin prepa-
rations in their prescriptions to make
medicine more agreeable to touchy stom-
ach. So be sure your laxative contains
Syrup Pepsin. Insist on DR.. Caldwell's s
Laxative Senna combined with Syrup Pep
sin. See how wonderfully the Laxative
Senna wakes up lazy nerves and muscles
in your intestines to bring welcome relief
from constipation. And the good old
Syrup Pepsin makes this laxative so COM
Portable and easy on your stomach. Even
finicky children love the taste of this
pleasant family laxative. Buy DR.. Cald-
wells Laxative Senna at your druggist
today. Try one laxative combined with
Syrup Pepsin for easeto your stomach. too
