Speaking from Washington over

taxpayers had spent 100000 in

S200,00 in salary in his education
as a judge.

quently brought forth a turn
of world events.
No one is more susceptible
10 the belief Of astrological
cause and effect than the
fuehrer.
He knows that throughout
this past fateful summer of
1912 the Axis advances have
been too slow and the Nazi
price paid has been too great.
Our gallant Russian ally
has throSn the Axis nations
for defeat.
II is doubtful if Stalingrad
will be captured, but if 1t Is
il is now too late for Hitherto
exploit any Caucasus successes
before next spring.
BY next spring the United
Nations will be prepared to
assume the decisive offensive
on all fronts.
MUNICH, THE capital of
Naziism, has been terrifeally
bombed. 1t is estimated that
200 of the heaviest, four
motored British bombers del
uged that city, which is so
historically connected with
Hitler, with high explosives
causing fires visible for
hundred miles. One explosion
rocked the entire city 80
seconds.
Munich is a vast communi-
cation center from which
springs a network Of railroads
to the south.
II is the gateway TO the
Brenner Pass. and, in addition
TO being the birthplace of
hated Naziism, is the home OF
many industrial plants in

will cause Herr Hitler literally
TO shrink, is the announce
ment made from London by
A. V. Alexander, first lord of
the admiralty. to the effect
that all capital ships-mean-
ing battleships, cruisers and
aircraft carriers-lost by the
British Empire during this
devastating conflict, have been
replaced.
For the first time, a total
summary Of losses has been
published. The British navy
has seen the following fighting
vessels 90 to the bottom-4
battleships, l battle cruiser, 3
airplane carriers. "a cruisers
and IS destroyers.
These have not only been
replaced, but the royal navy
has at least 200 new de-
stroyers, and not less than
200 corvettes. Of which there
were none at the commence
ment of the war.
And still more, the lord of
the admiralty states that two
new super battleships are
ready and waiting TO meet
the German 35, ,000-ton battle
ship, Admiral Tirpitz, when
