serious labor shortages which
already are cutting production of

ager in Tokyo until start of the
war reported that the action may
indicate Japan is about to launch
her long predicted attack on Rus
siaS Siberian frontier.
Togo as a civilian was a compara-
tive moderate in the Japanese cabi-
net, Bellaire reported. and may we'll
have opposed plans of the military
extremists for attacking Russia.
WINTER CAMPAIGN
1t was noted that the retirement
of Togo came at time when any
Japanese action in Siberia must be
launched almost Immediately or be
postponed until next spring. Winter
comes carly in that portion of the
world and it was not believed the
Japanese deliberately would commit
themselves to a long winter cam
paign in the bitter cold if a decision
could be forced earlier.
First reports from Cairo indicated
that Marshal Erwin Rommels des-
ert offensive was gathering mo-
mentum slowly and there still was
some doubt in certain British quar-
ters as to whether he actually had
launched his all out attempt to
reach the Nile and the Suez.
In Russia the German attack on
Stalingrad was being pressed with
vigor but the Russians, particularly
on the northwestern approaches to
the Volga city, reported some sue
cess in cutting off Nazi armored
advance guards and in smashing
German attempts to reinforce them.
On the southwest approaches, how
ever, German pressure forced the
Russians back at some points.

The farm was nestled in q fertile
