| Lack of Volunteers
In Fairfax May Delay
Fuel Oil Coupons

Because the number of VOL
unteer workers has fallen
sharply since an extension was
granted in Fairfax County for
the purchase of fuel oil on
promissory notes, Mrs. E. C.
Murray, county rationing Of
fetal, today said the board may
not have all ration books in
the mails when the extension
ends at midnight tomorrow.
Mrs. Murray said so many
volunteer workers failed to re-
turn to work following Satur-
days, extension order that it is
Extremely doubtful if all ap-
plications will be processed and
coupon books mailed by the
| deadline.
Homeowners who have not
received coupons and who have
not purchased oil on primissory
notes, Mrs. Murray said, may
have to go without oil until ra-
ton books can be sent them.

eminent red tape and the man.
power shortage are combining to
force rural Montgomery County
merchants either to sell or close
their places of business.
The case of H. c. Darby, 70-year-
old merchant of Beallsville, who has
operated a general store there for
the past SO years, is typical. Mr..
Darby said he had reluctantly come
to the conclusion that he must
either sell or curtail his business to
the point where he will carry only
small stock of tobaccos. a few
groceries and other light items.
Mr.. Darby, whose son is with the
Army in Hawaii, said the work of
carrying on a business which in
normal times amounted to more
than $25 900 yearly, is entirely too
much of load for man my age, y
and added that it is impossible to
find help in running the store"
Store Serves Wide Area.

carry on the business since my son
entered the Army a year ago last
September" Mr.. Darby said. I'm

doubly hard by the increasing num-
Der of Government records and re-
ports required to be kept, each day
it is becoming harder to obtain
merchandise
Explaining that his store served a
wide area" in Montgomery County
and that his nearest competitor is
two and a half miles distant, Mr.
Darby said that he is now able to
obtain about half the groceries Or
dered, and that less than half his
hardware orders are being filled.
Statesmen still call regularly" he
said. but when I place an order
it usually is cut in half"
Mr.. Darby said that he has had
one inquiry from a prospective
buyer, but that the man was scared
off" by the prospect of curtailed sup
plies and Government red tape.

A former British subject, now an
American citizen, who has given IL
blood donations to the District Red
Cross donor project. says Washing
ton area residents are too compla-
cent in furnishing plasma needed to
save the lives of wounded service
men.
''It wouldn't hurt to have minis
tiers mention this subject from their
pulpits and the healthy ladies who
go in for afternoon teas also could
spend some of that time more prof.
itably by visiting the Red Cross
center once every two months" re-
marked R. Darrell Lightbourn, 1000
Brandywine street NV. Formerly
associated with the Australian Lee
CATION, Mr.. Lightbourn is now at
tached to the British Army staff
here.
Giving donations typifies the
will to win quickly and thus save
lives" Mr. Lightbourn told The
Star. There is complacency here
regarding blood donations. This
area has enough people to supply
$500 donations each week, but the
number obtained is below that fig
ure.
Sees Appeal Taken Lightly.
How can the situation be i'm
proved? My own views, after max
ing II trips to the donor center and
talking with various persons, are
that the people here are not taking
the appeal seriously 1t cannot be
lack of patriotism; it may be due to
lack of greater organized effort and
an educational campaign. I say
this not in critical spirit, because
I want to be helpful"
Mr.. Ligbtbourn deplored what
he termed too much feeling of fear
that donation is a TRANSMISSION, -
adding that donation is not a
TRANSMISSION and is infinitely less I'M
comfortable.
1T is odd that persons who cheer
fully would give TRANSMISSION to
help friend in a crisis shy away
at making blood donation SO badly

School Fire

ROSEVILLE. - A stubborn
fire in the storeroom of the
Pierce school was brought under
control after five hours of work
by the Roseville Fire Depart
ment Saturday night.
The fire was reported by Wal
ter Stoner, student who lives
nearby and the alarm was turn
ed in at 7:20 pm. Both the Erin
Township and Roseville fire
trucks were used in combating
the blaze which was extinguish-
ed at midnight.
Because of a fireproof wall
separating the room from the
adjoining rooms, the fire was
confined to that room alone. Only
wastepaper and school supplies
were damaged by the fire. In

kov. Taganrog, and their positions
In the Crimean Peninsula OH the
Isthmus Of Kerch and before Sc
vastopol.
Some Almost Surrounded.
AL of these positions are still in
German hands, though some Of
them have been almost surrounded,
and the Russians have penetrated
deeply between them. The major
Russian penetrations are between
Staraya Russo and Vyazma, between
WANNA and Orel and between
Kharkov and Taganrog.
The Germans call these strong
places "hedgehogs," but they are
nothing but old-fashioned ring"
fortresses, with a central citadel or
intrenched camp surrounded by
ring Of outlying detached forts COW
ering the approaches to the citadel
with interlocking zones of fire. This
type of fortress became familiar
in Europe during the 10Th century.
Lacking the support Of heavy
artillery and unable to use armored
troops, the Russians found them
selves faced with the problem of
Verdun-how to drive determined
and well-armed infantry from we'll
fortified positions connected by field
works: In other words, old-fashioned
position warfare. That has always
been long, bitter. bloody business.
So it has again proven in Russia.
Factor In Offensive.
Just how the opening moves OF
the new German drive will develop
seems likely to depend on whether
most of the German fortresses con-
tinue to hold out until the offensive
gets under way. In the north it
seems possible that the Germans
may have to give up more ground.
Perhaps-having sold them dearly
they may be forced out of Novgorod,
Staraya Russo, Rzhev and Vyzama,
all now threatened by the Russian
encircling drives.
In the south the Russians are
trying desperately to take Kharkov
and to better their positions in the
Crimea, which in German hands
would be a spring-board into the
Northern Caucasus. Probably the
Russians still have q little time left
for these purposes; on the other
hand. 1t must be remembered that
their penetrations create salients
which are especially vulnerable to
attack in flank by armored troops.
The Germans are reported to have
taken out of line and reconstructed
all their armored divisions. These
are not likely to be as high in
quality or as strong In individual
establishment as the panzer -divi-
sionen of 1871, but they will form a
powerful spearhead force. As the
coming OF spring begins to restore
to them their lost mobility. there
can be no doubt that the Germans
will employ them with the greatest
vigor, for Germans as well as Rus
slams know that this year 1912 Is
the critical year Of the war.
