order means that cruising must

Cruising cabs center mainly

directly to a downtown stand after
taking a fare to the outskirts.

CHUNGKING. China. April 30,
japanese m hanized units
which have reached the Burma
road terminus at Lashio face en-
circlement because they have
penetrated too deep" a Chinese
military spokesman said today.
The spokesman said the situation
around Lashio was obscure but
unofficial quarters conceded the
city's fall.
The apparent capture Of Lashio
climaxed lightning 150-mile
sweep by the japanese through
the mountainous Shan states and
carried the enemy spearheads TO
within so miles of the Chinese
frontier. If Lashio is held, the
Japanese have cut the Burma
road, greatly increasing the isola-
ton of China.

NN THE other hand, let
us consider Japan.
Our war With Japan
has been going on for about
five months.
During that time she has
destroyed five Of our naval
vessels at Hawaii and, al
legedy, one airplane carrier
In the neighborhood, two
more of our naval vessels at
the battle of Java and, sub
sequently, two more in the
seas south of Java.
On land. Japan has cap
tured Manila, capital of the
Philippines.
She has taken the Bataan
Peninsula and made prisoner
our army there of $4,000
men, including thirteen gen.
erals.
This Is the largest force
ever surrendered by an Amer
lean command to a foreign
foe.
Japan has also captured
and occupied the American
possessions of Wake and
Guam, and Is still proceeding
to occupy the lesser islands
than Luzon in the Philippines.
The plain arithmetical facts
and figures would seem to in
dicate that as far as America
Is concerned Japan is a more
formidable enemy than Ger
many.

COME people think that
- Germany Is our most
formidable enemy.
Some think that Japan Is.
Perhaps the question Is not
merely a matter of conjec-
ture.
Perhaps we can bring the
cold logic of mathematics
into the discussion.
1t would surely seem that
at least one way to decide
this important question Is by
facts and figures.
We have been at declared
war with both Germany and
Japan for about the same
length of time.
What damage has each
enemy nation been able to in

tically equal period?
