US. Army Forces Man 3l Battle
 Stations in Worldwide War Front

WASHINGTON - Few people realize how totally different this from the last in regard to diversity of fronts In the last American troops fought on virtually only one front-France But today U S. troops fighting stationed in the amazing total of 31 foreign countries or territories.
 This IS one thing which has to be carefully conSid- cred when it to setting up Second Front in Europe. For actually it would be not a second front but the 32nd Front.
 The troops scattered over these 31 different fronts are not numerous, except in some areas such as Aus traila and lreand multiplicity of fronts is not drain manpoWer But it is a drain on shipping-st the Achilles heel of Second Front plans. As long as ships are engaged in supplying S. troops in 31 differ ent areas it is difficult in view of submarine losses to send heavy shipping across the North Atlantc for major front
 The 31 different war fronts cover only the army The list is even more impressive when the Navy is included, too But here is a summary of the battle stations of the AEF in 1922:
 Largest forces are in AUSTRALIA and IRELAND which incidentally about far apart as any two points on the globe The size of these forces is mill tary secret but they are large. NEW GUINEA and NEW CALEDONIA supplements the Australian front
 Sun Never Sets Flag
 U. s. troops also are located at British bases in the Western phere-NEWFOUNDLAND, LAB RADOR BERUMDA, THE BAHAMAS ANTIGUA SANTA LUCIA, TRINIDAD JAMAICA, BRITISH GUIANA. There are also eight U. S. Army outposts in Latin America, thanks to the Good Neghbor policy GUATEMALA, NICARAGUA, COSTA RIGA. PAN AMA ECUADOR, VENEZUELA, BRAZIL and CUBA
 Africa is dotted with so many small army outposts for the U. S. Army Ferry Command that it would be impossible to enumerate them if they were not military secret. They are located in general areas - BRITISH AFRICA, FRENCH AFRICA, and BEL CLAN AFRICA. U. s. forces also have base in ERIT- REA at the mouth of the Red Sea to protect incom- ing cargoes plus force at BASRA at the head of the Persian Gulf
 In INDIA is an air corps unit, plus ground troops for maintenance while CHINA has small air force under Lt.-Gen. Joseph W. Stwell with Chinese ground troops for maintenance
 Finally there are US. troops in EGYPT ICELAND and GREENLAND, which brings foreign fighting stations up to 31
 NOTE:- Supplies are so difficult 10 get to some of these that U s. officer after finally receiv- ing supplies at minor outpost sent a telegram to Washington - in code. When decoded the telegram read: Happy days are here again"

Russians Apprehensive Of Japs

Russia is declared to be apprehensiVe of Japanese operations in Aleutians.
 Reports, seemingly well authenticated are that one of Japans purposes in trying to establish permanent
 military bases in Alaska is to enable the Nipponese to prevent the shipment of supplies from the United States across the Pacific to the Russian port of Vadi- Vostok. Agreements recently made between the Unit ed States, Great Britain and Russia undoubtedly bind the countries closer together in war and in peace
 The agreements were made in London and Wash ngton by Vyacheslaf Mikhailovich Mootof, Soviet Commissar for Foreign Affairs
 The British agreement bound both countries to 20- year mutual assistance pact providing for military and other aid against Germany and all other States associated with Nazis. There was provision against a separate peace and significant declaration of an in enton to unite with other ke-minded states in adopt ing proposals for common action to preserve peace and resist aggression in the postwar period"
 In Washington the Russian Minister signed mas ter Lease-Lend Agreement, described by the State Department as an additional link in the chain of sol darity being forged by the United Nations in their two-fod task of prosecuting the war against aggres- sion to a successful conclusion and of creating new and better world
 Also important, from the viewpoint of Russia, was agreement with both American and British leaders upon the urgent task of creating a second front in Europe l942." Thus the three nations prepared to array their full resources against Germany, Japan, and their satellites The Russians in their undertak- ngs, assumed no obligation against Japan in the Far East Nevertheless despite the official attitude of Tok- cape having an effect upon the war in the Pacific Any action by Japan toward interfering with transport alton of supplies to Russia cannot be regarded other than act of belligerency Fairbanks NeWs-Miner.

ROMMEL IN U. s. A.

Only few inside the War Department know it, but Field Marshal Rommel who lunged almost to Alex andra last month, studied his military strategy in the United States.
 He was permitted by the War Department to come here and study the battle fields of the War Between the States These battles featured some of the most brilliant generalshp of any in history especially for fastmoVing lghtly-equipped troops As result, Romme has adopted the tactics of Lee and Stonewall Jackson in the Libyan campaign Using fast tanks and armored cars he roved the desert with the mo- biity of the Confederate cavalry and he was able to hit the British then be in place before the Brit ish knew what had hit them
 NOTE:- Some years ago Col. Truman Smith long U ,. military attache in Berlin, warned the British that Romme was the ablest man in the German army. The British poO-hoohed the idea indicated that Col. smith was influenced by his admiration of the Nazi military

TROUBLE IN CUBA

Cuba and Spain have not been at war for nearly half century, but behind the scenes, Cuba is prepar- ing to lnterne many Spanish citizens in U S. concen- tratlon camps As step toward this the Spanish Lega- ton in Havana has been denied further of codes in transmitting messages to Madrid because of suspected information which has gone to the enemy.
 Sending Spaniards to U. s. concentration camps would be unique in diplomatic history, since Cuba has not broken diplomatic relations with Spain But some Spaniards in Cuba are as pro-German, and as dangerous, as if they enemy aliens.
 Ever since the Spanish American war, Spanish inn migrants have come to Cuba until now they number between 100000 and 500000.
 The majority of these are loyal to Cuba But con- siderable number are members of the pro-Axis Fal- angist Party and they will suffer deportation.

 PRE-WAR U. s. NAZIS
 The Justice Department has just run across an interesting let ter showing how deep- rooted NaZi sentiments were in some quarters of this country before the war. The letter, dated August 2, 1888, bears at the top an Am erican Eagle over a swastika, and is the stationery of "The Am erican Guard"
 Under the signature of OIov K. TietzoW, the letter says in part: "The coming struggle here in America will, I believe, be fought not with ballots, but with bullets, and ladies should there fore stay out of it--it is a mans struggle and not ladies picnic, struggle wherein ladies will be of value only as-spies.'
 Tietzow is still in Chicago, but he has been keeping very qltiet of late.
