Sinking

MIAMI. Fla, May 1S (1NS).-
Twenty-Five survivors. including
one from Detroit and another from
Dearborn, Mich, comprising the
entire crew of a small American
motor ship torpedoed in the Carib-
bean several days ago, have been
landed in Miami, naval authorities
revealed today.
Master OF the motor ship, Capt.
Josef Anderson. of Brooklyn, y.
Y. said he and his men spent "a
hours in lifeboats before they were
taken aboard a rescue ship.
One seaman, August L. Often.
of Dearborn, Mich. sustained a
scalp cut and a rib fracture when
the conclusion of the torpedo
threw him against bunk. He
was the only crew member in
jured. David Tugman. rs, as
Sistant engineer. of Detroit, was
another crew member.

German workers is beginning TO
show clearly.
Food becomes scarcer. Tlrnips
and church bells are symbols of
the present situation in Germany,
which Is better of than Italy.
The turnips are pressing potatoes
as the main staple of ciet just
as they did in 1917 when German
home morale began to sink. And
the church bells began disappear
ing In March because they were
needed for weapons, as In 1917.
TRANSPORTATION SLIPPING
In addition, transportation is
going down hill as rapidly as the
labor shortage intensifies. Iaborers
are worn to the danger point by
long hours and poor food and
competent sources reported that
women have collapsed on the
assembly lines while about 200, 900
man-days of work were lost daily
due 10 illness that could be de-
fscribed as Just feeling low
The railroad system staggered
Through the winter under great
difficulties. With a lack OF repairs,
ersatz parts. and improper lubri-
cation. the second-rate trains are
incapable OF modern speed under
heavy loads.
Some $50. 900 cars and 5000 loco
motives were taken from France
The Raj has done great deal
TO increase these troubles by
bombing the railroad centers again
and again.
All of these factors and the
Iovercrowding OF hospitals. hotels
and private homes with wounded
men from the Russian front have
added to the swing OF German
psychology at home 10 the de-
fensive.
DON'T LIKE, JAPs
This was increased many times
in both the. Reich and Italy by the
declaration OF war against the
United States.
The Italians don't like the
japanese and the Germans distrua
the Japs almost as much as they
Idistrust the Italians. The war
against America is definitely un-
popular with the Axis people. In
Italy, this feeling Is openly indi-
Gated by expressions of respect for
the United States. In Germany
there were many who expressed
regret that the step had been
taken.
But the people. especially the
German people, have tremendous
for hardship and sacrifice
and the breaking point definitely
has not been reached.

SOMEWHERE IN THE SOUTH

Corregidor today had a place il

"Corregidor's defenders were

were not ridden with malaria

Tho greatest single epic of

A small group Of our men, so

malaria, carried out heroic and
wobbly charge against the first
Jap troops to land on the island
and bloodily butchered them and
threw them back into the bay.
But the Japs kept coming,
and courage alone could not stop
them.
"A few days before the island
fell number Of us were selected
to try to take out certain In
formation" Dobson said. "Gen-
eral Wainwright wished US God
speed and we slipped of the
island at night, using different
routes. 1 believe most of us

Dobson's escape was itself q

Officers. TheyNpatehed battered

Perhaps the most important
thing tc emphasize is that it would

up before it is badly licked mill

HITLER's FINAL HOPES

Meanwhile. Hitler is swinging
desperately for a knockout blow
The Germans have .massed 210 OF
their 300 army divisions against
the Russians. They have suffered
an estimated $500, 900 casualties
in the east, including 10000 dead
Many German families already
have lost two or three men.
This has put a tremendous strain
on German manpower, and the
situation is stretched beyond the
danger point in order TO increase
the fighting services to about H.
600, 900. This includes 7,600.0 in
the army, l 800. 900 in the air force
and navy and 5000, 900 in the aux
iliary services, including the labor
corps.
While there Is no shortage OF
guns or munitions. one result OF
the increase in fighting services
has been a decrease in some lines
of production, especially of air
planes. in both Germany and Italy.
due both to shortage of workers
and materials.
It Is estimated that the monthly
plane production now Is over LOO
planes and under $500 The Nazis
have probably $4,000 planes in all
now, but many are out-dated.
