Older Men Determined To Keep
America Free and Are Willing
To Meet Invaders At
The Coast

Garrett county's aging and
older men have determined that
America must remain free and
are willing to meet any invaders
at the coastline and give their
lives to such a cause.
To bear out their contention that
they hold democracy dear to their
hearts, number of the enrollees
of the last registration, veterans of
other wars and others too old for
combat service, have made arrange
ments to form Legion Of Death"
wherein they pledge that should
America be endangered or the sanctity
of the nome threatened that they will
meet the enemy at the seashore, with
the banner, Thou Shalt Not Pass"
and not to retreat as long as one can
remain alive
The formation Of such an organiza-
iton was agitated by a number of
"oldsters," who congregated around
the schools at the last registration, but
it remained for Dr.. w. B. Love, re
tired Presbyterian minister, now liv-
ing at Mountain Lake Park, to put
the thoughts of these men into some
concrete form. He prepared the pledge

planned his statement of February

come out in the Pacific and con-
front the japanese.

people we did not have the shell

Hepburn then cited the CO.

measure of cooperation In Can

said Hepburn.
Hepburn was met earlier in the

Bv MAI. PAUL c. RABORG


U,,,,,, E.r.ciaIly for International NeW'
service and Detroit Times
There is a distinct posi-
bility that Stalingrad may
emerge as Hitlers Waterloo.
The incredible courage of
the Soviet army fighting in
defense of the city has stopped
the Germans.
The army besieging the city
may oe defeated. This would
not be the end of Hitlerism,
but might be the beginning OF
the end.
House to house fighting is
the most deadly known TO
warfare. Experience has
shown that it is almost i'm
possible 10 oust a determined
army from a city which
has been transformed into a
fortress. as this has.
DURING THE Spanis h
revolution and the siege and
attack of Madrid there actually
were times when the attackers
and defenders fought in the
same buildings. This occurred
several times in the large
university structures.
The apparently authentic
report that women and chill
dren have been evacuated
from the city indicate several
interesting facts.
First, the dispatches cir
eulated recently to the effect
that all bridges leading across
the Volga eastward from this
great Russian industrial city
had been destroyed, were obvi-
ously incorrect.
If the means of escape had
been removed, the large num-
Der Of noncombatants in the
city could not have been
evacuated.
SECONDLY, HAD the
bridges been blown up the
supply of Red troops and
fighting civilians within the
city would have been almost
impossible.
II the routes of supply to
the city had been destroyed,
lack of food and war material
could have caused the fight
ing garrison to surrender as
was the actual case in Madrid.
Now, however. we know
that even though the lines of
communication TO Stalingrad
from the north and south, in
cluding the Volga River, may
be entirely disrupted, there is
still a way from the east TO
get supplies into the city.
THE FACT that a large
part of Stalingrad consists of
modern, brick. concrete, steel
buildings makes possible the
establishment throughout of
strong points of resistance,
which may be impossible for
the Germans TO capture.
Regardless of the number
of attacking airplanes and
artillery, a city of size cannot
be completely demolished.
