CAN WE WIN BY AIR?

One of the boldest strokes of typewriter strategy seen in this echoed in London the other day when Brigader General Ira Baker, chief of the AEF Bomber Command stated that it is entirely possible to destroy Germany from the air. He fur ther hined that this the intent.
 Several weeks ago Time magazine jumped the gun and came out with a very detailed plan which amounted to this:
 If enough heavy bombers can be sent over Ger many continually and in huge masses, NaA war production would be crippled to such a degree that the defeat of Hitler's legons will be inevitable.
 Raids would have to be carried out both day and night American flyers have been making many daylight raids of late). Raids would really have to be large-scae-never less than 1000 planes as many as 2OOO Object would be to blast out of existence the 31 key cities.
 During 90-day campaign, these warpanes could drop from 9OOOO to l5OOOO tons of bombs German cities In six months, the total might reach 100000 tons. Out of such raids, said Time would come not only destruction of production facilities disruption of transport, but also destruction and cracking of German morale, a damage to food and living sup plies, blast at Nazi
 As early as last spring British Air Marshal Sir Arthur Harris talked of such raids. He said that if he could send over 2000O bombers to call on the Nazis in one night, Germany wouldn't be in the war the next day-if he could send LOGO bombers over Germany every night "it would end the war by autumn
 Thus Times typewriter strategy is not new plan. If such mass raids could have been adopted, they would have been carried out long ago.
 Time believes could find the planes to carry out such continual mass raids and the pilots to fly them allowing for replacement loss in both instances

and the bombs to drop.

and the bombs to drop. Perhaps.
 There was one thing that the typewriter strategists didn't sasify our curiosity
 What about petrol, they call it in England Maybe Sir Arthur thinking about that last spring along with other things when he used those big ifs lin his statement.
 It seems that one 1000 plane trip England re- lqures something like two-and-a half million gallons lof petrol. A 2,000- 0-plane raid would require twice that amount Is one tanker day, carrying 5,000000 gallons of petrol reaching England? Could we send enough of this fuel through the U-boat in- fested seas to give the bombers based in England l50 100000 gallons a month?
 Our military leaders and those of Allies are certainly not in favor of prolongng Gernanys death struggle. If she could be cahceIed out of the war in this manner believe it would be done Those who control the strategy in England aren't in favor of pulling any air punches.
 Our raids on Germany probably will continue to grow larger but it is doubtful if they will grow as large Times raids
 Anyway the article made darned good reading We wish the next would tell us where the petrol is coming from.

The American Army Is Great
Petersburg PreSs)

Petersburg Press)
 recent issue of the Kodiak Bear" comments editoriay on the fact that of the papers staff has been promoted to sergeant A portion of that editorial is reprinted here. Coming from a soldier in active service it is the finest commentarys sol der morale have seen. An army fighting for democracy should, far is practical practice the principles of democracy This editorial is proof that our army does:
 Scores of fine officer prospects have left the ranks at Fort Greeley and some of them already sport ing new bars. It is to the everlasting credit of the War Department that it is picking the bulk of its officer material from the abundance of talent avail able in the enlisted ranks and anybody with the stuff has opportunity to take crack at it. That's one reason the American Army is great-it rewards it's good men, whether or not their granddaddy a monacle and eampaigned in the better boudoirs."

the Atlantic to keep Hitler from siezing Dakar and the Azores.
 Admiral Leahy replied:
 Gentlemen, we don't have to worry about Dakar and the Azores now Cthis was September, 1940l. The British fleet can still prevent Germany from taking them. But a few months from now it may be different. By next spring the war may have gone against the Etitish in the Mediterranean, and then we'll have two oceans to defend Now we have only one"
 Secretary Knox, who was pres ent, vigorously supported Leahy, but the state department, in the end won the argument. Today the ravy, with two oceans to defend and still a one-ocean navy wishes it had won the argument, and that we had kept our badly needed scrap iron and gasoline at home.

INVESTIGATING THE WAVES

Every applicant to join the WAVES has to be investigated to see whether she is loyal to the United States-a necessary precau- tion-but sometimes it occurs un- der peculiar circumstances.
 The other day the telephone rang in the home of Helen Rudd Harris, who has enlisted in the WAVES.
 T am working for a private in- vestigational agency which the navy has employed to investigate the character of all applicants to the WAVES" Mrs. Harris was in- formed. Can you give me one or two references who can testify that you are not Nazi?"
 My present employer is the U. s. Army Mrs. Harris replied. And my job is confidential work in the code division. I'm sure they will be glad to tell you about me" l Then after some additional ques- tions, the investigator asked:
 T note that your father was born in Ceylon. Are you sure he was not pro-Nazi?"
 My father was an officer in the British army, six times decorated for bravery in the last war" replied Mrs Harris.
 But how do we know he wasn't pro-Nazi?"
 Because he died before Hitler or the Nazis were ever heard of
 But your mother. I see she lived in Denmark. That country is under the Nazis. How does she feel about them?"

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do rot compel"
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25

Benefic aspects dominate today which should be fortunate for Washington and it's leaders in war policies. Labor is under favorable planetary influences, stimulating and harmonizing.
 HEART AND HOME: Stimula- ton of constructive work is gen. eral under this configuration which encourages the people to carry out the policies of men who wield authority. This should be a for tunate day for the President of the United States although he will be the center of much criticism. Women are warned against join { ing organizations which carry titles announcing Christian affiliations or peace aims. Many subversive groups are now operating and they have the aid of well-meaning women. This is not an suspicious sway fer romance. Girls will be happiest when employed in practical work which engages heads instead of hearts.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Despite mistakes and muddles that affect great Government projects amaz- ing results will be attained by men who represent American methods of achieving what appears impos- sible. Many small cities will en- 1 joy profitable expansion. Political influence will continue to be di- rected toward certain important Government projects as election f dates draw near. As more com- modities must be rationed, those first affected may become more plentiful.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Reports of cruel treatment of United Nations prisoners held by Axis powers will arouse extreme indignation in this country. Japanese misrepresenta- tion of our policies in regard to Orientals evacuated from Pacific coast cities also will feed the flame Of national resentment and cause demand for reprisals The seers warn of the danger of farboring hate for persons or nations.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: After the long period of reverses, progress toward victory will stimu- late the United Nations to splen- did deeds of daring. Under cen- tral direction British and Russian generals will prove their ability in successful planning of clever moves upon the most extensive map in all history. American air forces are under the most promising rule of the stars. Our airplanes are to be the answer to many great prob lems including those of large scale transportation of men and muni- tionS.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year in which financial gains are substantial Much pleasure through friendships is forecast.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will have first rate intelli- gence. They will have strong characters. Generous and mag netic, they may expect success anc popularity.

 critical public had many uncomplimentary things to say about the sale of American scrap metal to Japan prior to the scrap that is coming back to us now in bullets, shells and bcmbs But apparent ly scrap wasn't the only thing the Japs acquired as they prepared for the war
 From the stories of the Marines who raided Maxim Island we learn quantities of American canned sal mon, timed beef and other foods found and destroyed. Some 1000 barrels of American made gasoline cached the island by the Japs and was set afre and destroyed by the landing force They tell about the Japs coming up to the fighting lines in American-made trucks. In fact American goods seemed to play pretty important part in the strength and material of the enemy forces.
 It is likely, of course, that of the American products found on Maxim Island were part of the loot the Japs acquired in their moves of conquest but it also appears Japan is fighting the United States with food and implements it bought prior to the outbreak of hostilities right here in the Unit ed States.
