Great Britain

Back from conferences with President
Roosevelt in Washington which may
have shaped the future course of the
found muttering London, a grumbling
Commons.
The situation In Egypt seemed peril
ously near disaster. Perhaps it was one
too many disasters for the British people
to accept from the Churchill leadership.
1t was the more heart-breaking as the
British forces had outnumbered the Axis
in men, tanks, planes and cannon and
they had had on their rear the rich and
friendly granary OF Egypt.
Mr.. Churchill boldly faced his critics
and defended his administration. The
situation looked black.
Churchill 1t might at any mo-
Wins Aooin ment become blacker
still. It was the fault
OF the general In the field, Of the
fortunes Of war. Gould any other
Premier, any other Minister of Defense,
have done better?
Thursday Mr.. Churchill walked out Of
the House of Commons holding up two
fingers tn the V-for- victory sign. He
had just received 475-to-25 vote OF
confidence, the second largest majority
he has ever been given.
Otherwise it was quiet week in Eng
land. The Raj launched another at
| tack on the Axis submarine base at st.
| Nazaire. British submarines menaced
| Axis shipping in the Baltic. Some Ger
man craft were set afire off the Frisian
| coast.
From Londonderry comes news that
the AEF has turned a mud fiat into an
enormous naval base for the battle OF
the Atlantic.

The Far East

Japan, perhaps nursing her wounds,
perhaps gathering strength for re-
ported invasion of Siberia as stab in
the back for the Russians, was quiet last
week The sons of the rising sun had
plenty of trouble in China. Chinese
forces claimed their first major victory
since last winter, repelling troops who
attempted to dislodge them from their
stronghold in the Taihang Mountains.
There were 10000 Japanese casualties,
the Chinese say.
Japan retaliated, however, by captur-
ing the Hangchow-N Railroad
line, last important road held by the
Chinese government. The whole Jap
strategy during the past two weeks, it
has been explained by some experts, is
probably an attempt to protect the rear
in case of Siberian invasion.

Continental Europe

Anti-Nazi restlessness grew in France.
In retaliation the conquerors deported
5000 men and women from Lorraine to
Poland because their sons had evaded
service in labor battalions.' AS the
crushed spirits of the people rose again
the Vichy government seemed to become
more and more subservient.
In Poland, the government In exile in
London reported Germans have taken

even to drive wedges into the German

But the Black Sea port OF Sevastopol,
city Of black ruins now after one OF the
most heroic defenses in
Sevostopol history, fell on Wednes-
|nntured day. Germans and Ru-
manians swarmed over
the outer defenses following an action
which for bloodshed and horror must
nave rivaled anything in the history Of
warfare.
There continues bitter, sporadic fight
ing in the vicinity, the communiques say.
But the city has been turned into a
heap of stones by merciless, continuous
bombing attacks. Germans and Ru-
manians paid a terrible price in blood
for what may be an empty prize, for the
maj forces OF defenders are still intact
on the Crimean peninsula. But Hitler
promotes Col Gen. Fritz von Mannheim
for great victory and orders a special
medal for every one who took part in
the attack.

like the peasants, have been forced to
make the radical jump from world OF
rickshaws to one of the machine.
To date the Chinese Air Force has
been too small to provide much support
for the Chinese ground troops. This
is partly responsible for the enormous
casualties.
But victories, it has been estimated,
have cost the japanese over 100000 lives.
Bombing Season Overdue.
Many casualties have been caused by
illness on both sides, dysentery for the
japanese, malaria for the Chinese.
Meanwhile in Chungking a stronger
defense than ever before, including more
fighters and anti-aircraft guns of i'm
proved quality, is waiting to greet the
japanese when they open their 1912
bombing season, already two months
overdue.
The bombings usually have begun
about the first of May and continued on
all summer, but this year the japanese
for number of reasons have delayed the
attack. The Chinese have taken ad-
vantage of the 1O-months' respite since
the last bombing on August 81, 1941, to
bolster every angle of their defenses.
| They have organized defenses against
Japanese parachutists and have or
ganized units to mop up any japanese
who drop from the skies. They have
formed an anti-gas corps of over 5000
men and special training has been giver
to 5000 dugout wardens and specia
officers.
The shelters are being equipped with
anti-gas curtains, and new shelters arr
being blasted out every day so that ther
are now accommodations for 100000 o
Chungking's estimated 100000 summe
residents.
Medical first-aid stations and hos
pitfalls have all increased their rescu
corps, while the fire-fghting forces hav
been strengthened.

The fighting RACES at the present time
in the Mediterranean basin and along
2,000-mile front in Russia. The German
military leaders are proving themselves
excellent soldiers and f1rst-class strate-
gists. Their war material is still ample
and of good quality.
The pressure of the Nazis on the
Russian front is great and the request
Of the Soviet high command that the
Allies attack somewhere in Western
Europe in order to draw away at least
10 or 20 Nazi divisions has been an
swered for the moment by the dispatch
of an American expeditionary force
under the command of one of our ablest
strategists, Maj. Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover.
Gen. Macarthur, who has an eye for
competent officers, has given the key
to Gen. Eisenhower's abilities. When he
undertook the training of the Philippine
Army in 1885 he made it a condition
that Gen. Eisenhower-who was then a
major-be a member Of his staff. Gen.
Macarthur considered him one of the

said, would "go far If we are engaged

Second Front Questionable.
In spite of Gen. Eisenhowers appoint

| European theater of operations, the
| creation of second front still seems
! questionable. American military men
realize that the Nazis have not been
sleeping since they conquered Western
Europe. Their Notifications in West
ern Europe are supported by some 40
divisions of troops. These may not be
f1rst-line soldiers, but they are sutfi-
ciently we'll equipped and trained to
carry on defensive war.
| The Germans are on the watch for a
major Allied offensive and, according to
reports from the Nazi-occupied areas,
they can meet any such action without
drawing on their attacking forces in
Russia.
Theoretically second front is, Of
course, possible, but it takes long time
to prepare for such an operation and we
have only about nine more weeks OF
suitable weather for an attempt tc
make a large-scale landing on French
Dutch or Belgian territory. After Sep
tember the weather begins to get dirty
and aviation operations, which are i'm
portant in such cases, are difficult.
Many qualified men maintain stub
bornly that we must look for very
long war and that under the circum'
stances our easiest, although longest
course of action lies through the Pacific

Chi Bears Defense
 Is Its Offense

Chicago. Nov. B = (SpeciaD - For the most part i. is accepted in football circles as an old gag. but when the Chicago Bears repeat the aged axiom that the best defense is a good offense nothing humorous CT smart-alecky is intended.
 The Bears, who risk their half a game lead an unbeaten record against Green Bay Sunday. have stified National League opposition to the point where latest team statis- tics, released today, find them lead ing in the least number of oppo- nents' points and the least number of opponents first downs.
 In seven games tine champions have surrendered exactly seventy points and 6 first downs. They also lead in the least number of oppo- nent's gains. having kept the ball long enough against each foe to lirn- 1t advances to i233 yards.
 Of course. a line which can be persuaded to yield only 402 yards rushing to seven opponents is an important factor in the champions defense, but basically the Bear sys- tenn is controlling the ball. piling up points ard keeping the pressure on.
 Only the Washington line comes close to the Bears record. Wee wu- lie Kilkin and company having re- stricted the enemy to 687 yards along the ground in eight starts.

 Even after those terrific defeats -2e goals were scored or him in high-he was certain he could de- ] liver.
 Buzinski is 25. It is unusual for hockey player to make his pro- fessional bow at that age. Usually they are in the pro ranks by the time they are 20.
 But Buzniski for five years has been a wheat and cereal expert with the Dominion Experimental Station at Swift Current, a little town on the Saskatchewan prairies. It was a good job paying a good salary and as Buzinski is married and the father of a child. he was content to work there and play a little amateur hockey. He was not interested in minor league offers. Patrick got him with a major lea- que one.
 Steve Buzinski had never seen a professional game until he played in one.
