said reinforcements were being
rushed to the beleaguered fortress
at the time when the japanese
were still some 200 miles away
and had not yet come out of the
jungle. He indicated that i'm
portant reinforcements Of mod
ern planes were being sent.
The fall Of Singapore is bound
to be a heavier blow to the Brit
ish than any previous defeat;
worse even than the Norwegian
fiasco and the Greek and Crete
disasters. Hence, it is believed
in many Washington quarters
that Mr.. Churchill will have to
do a lot Of explaining and will
have to use something more than
rhetoric to appease the British
people. who placed unbounded
confidence in his abilities and
in his word.

Trial Board Will Weigh
Case Against Two Police

A special trial board consisting of
three civilian officials of the District
government was created yesterday
by the Commissioners to hear
charges against two police privates
charged with assaulting several
citizens. No date has been set fol
the trial.
The accused officers are Pvts.
Henry j. Martin and James E.
Stabler, who were indicted and tried
in District Court, where the Charges
were dismissed, with the exception
of simple assault involving Pvt
Martin.
The special trial board was rec
commended by Police Chief Edward
j. Kelly on the ground that when he
was a police inspector he conducted
an investigation of the case and is
to appear as witness at the trial
board hearing.
Instead of the trial board consist
ing of police officers, the Commis-
sioners designated District Tax As
sesaor Edward A. Dent, chairman;
District Auditor A. r. Pilkerton and

The most optimistic onicial
commentators, who heretofore
have maintained that the Pacific
situation will not be favorable
soon. but will ultimately change
greatly to our advantage. now
admit that we are In serious
danger.
The truth is that the force ap-
piled by the war-prepared and
war-minded Axis against the un-
prepared and still easy-goirg
United Nations is 50 great that
unless this country wakes from
its lethargy it may find itself In

Unless something like miracle
occurs the principal United Ma

Normandie Had Mission.
Meanwhile, the Axis powers are
not going to be idle, giving us
time to prepare for this terrific
fight.
The espionage services Of the
Germans and Japanese in this
country have been remarkable
and the antidote for them ex-
tremely poor. The result is that
the enemy knows about as well
as our highest officials the exact

job of trying to take it. In prin-
ciple, the situation of the garrison
at Singapore is exactly the same
and the object of its continued re.
sistance the same as with Gen
Douglas MacArthur's forces on the
Bataan Peninsula and on Corregidor
The basic conditions of the strug-
gle in the Far East have not altered
These are:
/. The Japanese are trying tc
gain an impregnable strategic posi-
ton with limited but Immediately
available resources.
2. The United Nations are trying
to bring their superior resources to
bear, but are hampered by the fac
tors of time and distance.
StrategicaIy, the issue has mar
rowed down to the possession of the
islands in the Malay barrier, OF
which the chief are Sumatra and
Java. If these islands can be held
the Japanese can at least be pre-
vented from breaking through into
the Indian Ocean and attacking the
vital Allied sea communications
there.
Seige Would Aid Sumatra.
1t Is obvious that If Singapore
falls the Japanese troops on the
Malay Peninsula will be released for
an onslaught on Sumatra. 1t will
be difficult to prevent their use OF
naval forces to support such an
attack. 1t might be possible for
them to gain possession Of Sumatra
before the reinforcements which
are now converging toward the bat
tie area could arrive in sufficient
force to stop them. Thus every day
gained by the Singapore garrison Is
day which contributes directly to
the security Of Sumatra.
Should Sumatra fall, the japanese
would have full possession Of the
Strait of Malacca and direct access
to the Indian Ocean and the Bay
Of Bengal.
Moreover, the Japanese would be
free to concentrate all their East
Indian forces on Java, the center
and citadel of Dutch power. AL
ready the Japanese hold a line of

Churchill Guesses Wrong on Singapore

Australia will have to be con-
fined to raids such as those made
recently on the Gilbert ana Mar
shall Islands and the Macassar
Straits.
The appointment Of the Meth
erlands admiral, c. E. L. Helfrich,
as acting commander Of the
United Nations naval forces in
place of Admiral Thomas c.
Hart. Is a clear indication that
for the time being the United
Nations fleet needs only q raid
ing leader. Admiral Hart indi-
Gated his intention to retire even
before the outbreak Of the war,
for he reached retirement age 18
months ago.
1t is hoped that a sufiicient
air force will be dispatched to
Australia to help the hastily
gathered forces of that Common
wealth to ward OF japanese in
vasion. This is expected to be
done through quick raids against
Japanese lines Of communica-
tion. But while the situation in
regard to Australia continues to
be menacing, there is the gravest
concern about Rangoon and the
Burma road. Equal apprehen-
sion Is felt over the situation in
India.
Churchill Guessed Wrong.
American naval and military
strategists are inclined to believe
that Japan's main effort after
she has succeeded in subduing
Singapore and the Netherlands
Indies will be in the Indian
Ocean.
In the meantime. a political
explosion Is not ruled out in Eng
land. Prime Minister Churchill
Is a forceful man, but he has dis

wrong.

Hon. Howard w. Jackson,
Mayor of Baltimore City.
Dear Mr.. Mayor
The Observation-Disclosures
Civic Association of Baltimore,
at it's most recent meeting,
learned from one of it's mem
bers certain facts concerning
traffic which may be of some
help in clearing up the longest
ion caused by the thousands of
workers at the defense plants
in the Curtis Bay and Brooklyn
area.
West bound traffic, instead
of making a left hand turn in
to Cherry Hill Road leading to
Westport and to West Balti-
more, would go through Broen-
ing Park and under the Hano-
yer st. bridge over the old
road-bed of the Baltimore
Transit Company to Water
view Ave. This would elimi-
nate cross traffic and expedi-
ate west bound traffic. The
road bed could be easily and
economically improved with
crushed stone.
We sincerely hope that you
will have your Chief Engineer
look into these facts and favor
us with a report of his findings
Yours very truly,
