London. foresight Of two
American women doctors in joining
UP with the Royal Army Medical
Corps last year will probably prove
of inestimable value to their own
country, now that United States
forces are engaged in active combat.
The women are Major Barbara
Stimson, first cousin Of Secre-
tary of War Stimson, and First
Lieutenant Achsa Bean. Although
eminent in their own fields in this
country, they enrolled in the Brit
ish Army, they told me, For the
very good reason that we thought
we had something to learn from
the British. We wanted to see for
ourselves how they had organized
their women's services, and how
they met the unparalleled condi-
tions which reigned since the blitz
started

I'VE felt, too, that when and If
the time ever came when 1t would
be necessary to organize the same
kind of services In the United States,
our country could benefit by the ex-
perience Of the British and avoid a
number Of mistakes"
Their premonitions have come
true. America Is now at war and
when they return sometime next
September, they will be faced
with problems which did not exist
a year before.
When, late summer, the Minis

1000 American doctors, Drs. Slim

The gravity of the Russian situa-
tion-the network of railroads vital
to movement OF oil and supplies
coming from the United States and
Britain by way of Iran already has
been badly cut up-added a fresh
note of urgency to RuSsia's demands
for the immediate opening of an
Allied second front in western Eu-
rope.
From various continental points
came rumors that British Prime
Minister Winston Churchill had
flown to Moscow to confer with
Josef Stain on a second front, but
it appeared that NOS; of these re-
ports originated with the Axis or
in some capitals like Vichy and
Lisbon which are hotbeds of Axis
inspired rumors.
The Moscow radio, in broadcast
beamed to the German people in
their own language, said that Great
Britain and the United States had
come to an agreement" regarding
a second front this year and that
Germany soon would be compelled
to face the avalanche of Is 100000
Allied troops, $4,000 tanks and So
900 planes
However, as far as could be learn
ed, there has been no new formal
second front agreement beyond that
reached during Foreign Commissar
Viacheslav M. Molotav'S recent visits
to London and Washington on the
urgent necessity of such a front.
From Russia came direct appeals
to the United States, and to Britain,
for an invasion of Europe now be-

huge German casualties.
Sailors and marines of the Rus
