But there was no hilarity.
4 Prominent in the reviewing
stand were Lieut.. Gen. Ben Lear
commander of the second army
and Gov. Murray d. Van Wagner.
FORD SON IN PARADE
Most famed parader was Ensign
Henry Ford II, heading a unit
from the navy service school al
the Ford plant.
Fully one-third Of the process
sion was given over to a display
of Michigan IN d e mechanical
vehicles.
For the first time the public
saw the Chrysler tanks on parade,
as six Of the 27-ton jobs. studded
with Is and lesser guns, thun-
dered down Woodward avenue.
Gargantua of the trucks was
the four-ton wrecker.
There were numerous two and
one-half ton GMC trucks, includ-
ing those which draw the los
howitZer guns. the motor mainte-
nance shops on wheels and the
wire trucks for laying commune
cation wires.
Ten assault boats were mounted
on each Of one truck model turned
out by Chevrolet. White-manufac-
tured armored scout cars. pulling
giant machine guns: Dodge-built
air compressor trucks, mobile
water publication units and field
ambulances were other samples OF
the nations mechanical force.
Four wars were represented in
the column with the auxiliary of
the GAR riding in one car.
4 WARS REPRESENTED
A handful OF Spanish War vet
Grams marched and hundreds of
boys of II and 10 paraded. The
women of World War I were
there. too. in the persons Of men,
bers of Ragan-Lide Post No. 13
Of the American Legion.
There were a few tunes remi-
niScent Of the earlier world war,
but most Of the bands played the
conventional marches. a loud
speaker system in front OF the city
hall inaugurated the event at II
a. m. with Remember Pearl
Harbor." but there was no contin-
uous battle cry song.
DetroitS civilian defenders air
raid wardenS. Red Cross workers.
USO sponsors told OF the home
front battle, and, finally. the spec
tators saw dramatization OF the
need for salvaging Of rubber,
scrap metal and paper. while bits
ef Spcctator-thrown paper con-
tinued 10 float down upon the
marchers.

BLOWS TO TROOPS

"News of high war profits, Of
strikes, Of stoppages of produc-
ton over petty quarrels, bluffing
and horse trading-let nae tell
you, these are blows at the
bodies Of American soldiers, as
well as vicious cuts at their
spirits
"Today's soldier does not ask
for favors; he Is not a mendi-
cant. He II not a curiosity. He
may receive only the small basic
pay of the private, but he is not
In the market for handouts. He
Is a meat-eater, not a cake
eater -.
I'VE have one goal for the
American soldier; that no SOL
der shall rest until he has adj
vanced to grips with the enemy.
There must be but one goal for
those that labor at home: that
none shall rest until he Ii doing
his full share, TO the utmost
limit Of his ability, to back up
our fighting men,"

Congress which passes the

Supreme C0urt-the Con-
gress-nOt a cOequal branch

And it is the Congress
who should primarily re-
ceive the guidance and di-
rectiOn of the people in this
free democracy of ours.
LET THE Congress,
therefore, act honestly, ac-
cording to its prescribed
duties and its higher con-
science, and submit its ac-
ton to the people BEFORE
election and abide by the
Injunction of the people
after the election.
That is the upright course
which would always be
taken in this free republic
where the people are re-
puted TO rule.
1t is a course which will
best protect our great civil
lied nation from attack by
the savage hOrdes of Asia.
II is a course of home
protection adopted by at
least two of our most hon
Ored Allies, which are quOsi
democracies, althoug assur-

Vital Battle

By CAPT. JOHN Fl. CRAIGE

Mf1lllE AZ lN.N iAAaA ~
time on the vital Solomon
Islands and Egyptian fronts,
dispatches indicate a consider
able shifting of Man effort
away from battered Stain
grad towards the passes OF
the Caucasus leading TO the
oil districts Of Baku and
Batum and the bases OF the
Soviets' highly strategic Black
Sea fleet.
Little noticed in the epic
struggle of the Red Nerdun
on the Volga, action on this
front has proceeded steadily
since the fall of Rostov.
THIS WAR in the Caucasus
theater is being waged on a
300-mile front, extending from
Novorossisk, on the Black
Sea. 10 Mozdok, not much
more than 100 miles from the
Caspian.
This barrier guards the re-
naming Russian Black Sea
naval bases and the heart OF
its greatest oil district.
Analysis of recent dis
patches reveals the German
high command, within the
past two weeks, has concen-
trated several divisions of
Tyrolese and Bavarian noun
taineers on the two ends of
the Caucasian front. A ma jor
push seems 10 be in the
making.
VITAL DISTRICTS in the
Caucasian war are In the
Novorossisk : Tuapse-Maikop
and the Grozny-Mozdu areas.
From Novorossisk, now in
Nazi hands, a narrow road.
commanded by cliffs, winds
about 100 miles down the
shore of the Black Sea to-
wards Tuapse, Russian fort
ress-city, port and dockyard.
Nazi troops have been try
ing since August TO force
their way along this highway,
but have made little progress.
Maikop is also in the hands
Of Marshal Lists army. which
has been trying vainly for two
months to drive southwark to
the sea.
SIGNIFICANCE OF Tuapse
Is that il is the nearest Black
Sea base in Russian hands TO
the NaZi-held Straits of
Kerch. shortest route for
German reinforcements and
supplies. The straits lie
about 200 miles to the west.
II Tuapse could be taken, the
Red fleet would be obliged to
retreat to the port of Suk-
hum, about 200 miles further
from the fighting front, and
another German step towards
the control of the Black Sea
would be achieved.
ADS PENETRATING
the Caucasian range are the
Sukhum, Ossetian and Geor-
gian military highways. Oldest
Of these is the Georgian
highway, which has existed
for centuries and runs from
the headwaters Of the Terek
River TO Tiflis. capital city OF
the Red Caucasus and which
Is located on the plain stretch
ing between the mountain
range and the Turkish border
on the south.
This roads principal diff
Guilty lies in the fact that il
reaches height Of more than
5000 feet ut Darial Pass. and
is probably already clogged
with deep snow.
CONSIDERED OF almost
equal value is the Ossetian
highway, with that of Sukhum
classed as third in Importance.
All OF them mount TO passes
thousands of feet above sea
level.
Defending them Is the Red
banner army Of the Caucasus,
based on depots of supplies
that the Russians have been
building UP for nearly 20
years.
