CUBS CONSIDERING

The Chicago Cubs general man.
ager, Jim Gallagher, announced
last week that the Bruins were
a schedule of twilight
games after the Chicago White
Sox' reaction TO his proposal that
the Cubs play their night games
at Comiskey Park was something
less than cordial.
The question of twilight ball
will be given serious considera-
ton at the joint major league
in New York February
2-3. Harridge said.
"Alva Bradley, president Of
the Indians, asked me to put
that on the agenda for discus
sion," Harridge said. "He Is
thinking about Installing twi-
light baseball and wants advice
and information. For that mat
ter, so do 1. I've never seen n

MANY FACTORS

"There are many factors to be
considered, including the time Of
year twilight games can be
played, and the dinner hOur-we
don't want to get In bad at
home, YOU know"
Gallagher was noncommittal on
the Cubs plans, but he indicated
he had gone so far as TO study
the National League constitution
in regard to the startino time OF
games.
I'm not saying we're going to
play at twilight; nor am say
ing we won't said Gallagher.
"But so far as our league con-
stitutiOn Is concerned, the Cubs
need only to inform the other
clubs of the new starting time
and be sure that this time en-
ables the visiting team to catch
a train for its next stop.
There are no other restric-
tons, so far as l can see, about
our changing the starting time

Philippine island of Mindanaom.
The nature Of developments
on Mindanao, where the Japan

- General Yamashita. the new
commander in chief, has estsb-

ince some 40 miles from the Ba-
taan front lines.
MUCH SPECULATION
Whether the shift portended a
renewal of full-scale attempt to
crush General MacArthur's little
army was said by a war depart

Fierce Resistance
Of Gsrmon lesions
Overcome by Reds
Nv the Associated Press

The Red army has struck the
enemy a powerful blow on the
Kursk -Kharkov front southeast
of Moscow, where a number of
villages have been recaptured,
the Moscow radio announced to-
day.
The Russians said they broke
fierce resistance in the area,
where Berlin conceded earlier
that the Germans were engaged
in heavy defensive battles in the
south.
Pending naturalization of ri
val war plans for spring, the con-
flict in eastern Europe remained
generally today an offensive for
the Russians and a defensive for
the Germans, by their own ad-
mission, but in western Europe
there was renascent furry of
German bombing as if to over
take the Raj.
In Africa, the war marked
time once more with no fresh
word of last weeks Free French
sortie which smashed three for
titled positions at Fezzan Oasis
500 miles south of Tripoli, the
Libyan capital. From the main
front, in eastern Libya, the Brit
ish and the Axis reported patrol

AS for the Mediterranean, the
Germans reported continued day
and night bombardment of NAL
II, British fortress isle off Italy,
and the Italians admitted new
British attacks on Axis-held
islands in the Aegean Sea be-
tween Greece and Turkey.
The Hitler Commands report
on the war with Russia told of
further heavy defensive bat
ties" on the southern part of the
front, continued Russian attacks
at other places and claimed only
"local successes" for German Of
fensive actions.
The Red army having reported
. wedge driven into the Ger
mans central front between
Rzhev and Vyazma, added today
that $500 Germans had been
killed in a battering, three-day
Russian attack on the Leningrad
siege ring in the north. Six Ger
man blockhouses were reported
demolished by artillery fire.
The Germans reported heavy
aerial blows not only at the Rus
SLAMS, such as a night attack on
the aircraft works at 'Rybinsk,
but also against British harbor

smoke and thunder of bombs
and guns have died away now
and the score is in.
It is a magnificent victory for
Uncle Sam. Twenty Japanese
heavy bombers came out to get
us and all but two were shot
into the sea. We lost two planes
but rescued one pilot. Not a sim

Missourian, who was credited
with assisting in the destruction
of at least six enemy planes,
and his squadron leader, a So
year-old native of Arkansas.
The commander of this task
force reported that the entire
squadron attacked the enemy
with determination and skill and
deadly effect"
FIRST BRUSH
This spectacular battle Of
planes against plane protected
ships was our first brush with
the Japanese in these waters
at their own front door about 81
900 miles from Pearl Harbor. It
bore out the recent statement Of
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz, COM
mander in chief of the Pacific
Fleet, that we would carry the
fight to the enemy across this
trackless battlefield of 10000
600 square mics
The engagement occurred west
of the Gilbert Islands. Our COM
pact force of warships was in
geometrical formation around
an aircraft carrier and was out
there protecting the Allied life
line. The carrier, of course, was
the prize target, but the Japa-
nese didn't touch her. The bombs
all fell wide of their mark and
their Wanted torpedo bombers
so successful at Pearl Harbor
didn't even appear. With ships
on the move it's q different
story.
From the highest point on the
destroyer beside the aircraft car
rier, watched the battle from
beginning to end.

When Will It End?

We'll, what difference does it make? Wearisome are the discussions, tiresome the learned calculations on "When will victory come?" Will it be six months? A year? Two years or three years or five? We do not know. Nobody knows. Not the wiseacre who talks knowingly of 20 years 40 years Not the optimist (groWing fewer daily) who sees the Axis breaking in six months. Nobody.
 It will end when the enemy has been beaten, thoroughly and conclusively beaten. The sooner that is done, the sooner it ends. Whether that be six months or 60 years, we do not know. But the United States will be in at the end, and on the winning side. That is all we need to know about "When will it end?"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-01-21
Bombing and Boredom

What sounds like a flippant remark about grave subject is not really so f1ippant when you stop to think about it. The remark is that the worst thing about war is that it is such terrible bore That doesn't mean that one grows bored with war as a debutante grows bored with receiving white orchids. It means that there is one terrible and dangerous aspect of war that is con- cerned with an immense and overWhelm- ing weariness. The United States has been at war only little over six weeks, so this aspect of war doesn't concern us now. But it may, and it is just as well to understand it in advance.
 When war has just begun, or even in its more active phases, there is tre- mendous wave of patriotic enthusiasm. But all the waging of war does not consist of series of daShing deeds. Waging war consists in grinding labor, in doing a thousand little things well, and in doing them over and over again as long as it may be necessary. And the country that can keep doing them longest is the coun- try that wins. You probably got great kick out of buying that first defense bond But the second week it was less
