Must Last Thru Month

Retailers were cautioned yester-
day against accepting any ration
stamps other than No. 8 for sales
of sugar during the month of
October. julius P. Stadler chair
man of the Montgomery County
War Price and Rationing Board,
said there was some confusion
among consumers and retailers as
to the period covered by the No.
8 stamp.
He pointed out that No. 8 stamp
is good through October 81. The
impression of some retailers and
consumers was that the stamp ex-
PRED September 30. The value of
the No! stamp was set at five
pounds of sugar for the ten-week
period beginning August 90 and
ending October 81.

Washington area. Mr.. Lust also
has donated the use of lot adj
jacent to the Milo for the deposit
of scrap brought 30 the rally.
Charles w. Prettyman, salvage
chairman for this area, has ar
ranged for the pickup of the col
lection from this point and for its
transportation to a county scrap
yard.
Mrs. Gladys Beahm, manager of
the Milo, reported today that sew
eral patrons of the theatre already
have promised large donations of
scrap. Since the rally has been
extended 10 cover all communities
in the vicinity as well as Rockville
proper, it is expected many pounds
of scrap will be added to the ma
tional stockpile by the affair.
Commenting on tomorrow's pro-
gram, Mr.. Prettyman, who heads a
group of speakers during the after
noon said, "This rally is being
staged as an about effort to get
the scrap from this area Of Mont
gomery County rolling toward the
factories and vital industrial plants
that are in dire need of it. We must
continue to save and turn in our
scrap metals and rubber since it is
apparent that the demand will be
constant during the entire war, but
right now we are interested chiefly
in getting quick relief to those war
plants that are faced with possible
shut-downs because of lack Of
scrap.
"This county, and especially the
so-called upper-county area, has
contributed to the full for every
wartime call of the Federal Gov
eminent for civilian cooperation.
This time the call is urgent, per-
haps the most urgent yet directed
to the civilian population of the
country. I am sure that our peo-
pie again will do everything they
can and that our scrap rally will
prove real boost to the country's
march on the road to victory"

| Might Be WrOng--BUT
BY P. G. STROMBERG-

tired of the conflict. There
can be no question that the
rank and file of the German
people must resent the sacrifice
of thousands of their sons and
brothers. And, on the economic
side, there is hardly any ques-
ton that the people of Ger
many must be firing of the
hardships imposed upon them.
They must be exasperated with
the blasting of so many rosy
promises. With all the victories
Hitler has won he has not yet
been able to give his people any
assurance of the greatest vic
tory of all, which is peace. He
has told them that they would
be the superior people of the
world and that peace would be
restored under Nazi domination.
But he is farther away from
a realization of this promise
than when it was made in 1899
and repeated in 1910. And the
German people realize this.
What, they ask, will it avail
us if we control the entire con-
tinents of Europe and Asia, if
in the long run we are forced
to lay down our arms in defeat?
Why, they ask, has not the
Fuhrer defeated our enemies as
he promised? Why, they ask,
was it necessary to declare war
on America? Did ne not know,
they ask, that only
AppeaSe twenty-five years
Growing ago the Kaiser
Unrest? made the blunder
of forcing the
United States to declare war
on Germany, which was the
direct means of our ultimate
defeat? Who, they ask, was
responsible for interpreting
American sentiment as repre-
sented by the Lindberghs, the
Wheelers, the Nyes, ct al? These
and many other questions are
extremely hard for Hitler and
his satellites to answer. And
the more insistent the German
people become in their demands
for reasonable answers, the
more important will be the
reaching of the psychological
goal as indicated between the
lines" in Hitler's latest speech.

A MAN SAYS is not

~ always exactly what he
thinks. Often a study of seri-
GUS and important expressions
will indicate the underlying
thought, conviction or. fear. 1t
is therefore, more important to
analyze such expressions than
to merely read and accept the
verbal conclusions. Such is the
case with the re
Der cent speech made
Fuhrer by Fuhrer Hitler.
On Spot In the first extend
ed speech he has
been guilty of in year he
shows himself in a much more
sober frame of mind than in
the boastful, arrogant and con-
fident speeches he made fire.
quently during the early stages
of the war. In the latest speech
Hitler clearly indicates that he
is "on the spot" with his own
people. Where he boosted that
the war would be. over in year
ne now tells his audience that 1t
is the hope and purpose of the
Reich to hold the gains they
have made. Where he threw
insults and dares al England
he now tells his people that he
does not fear the United Ma
tons. Where, only little more
than a year ago, he told the
German people that the war in
Russia would be Of short dura-
ton and that the Red menace
would be erased before 1912 he
now tells them that Russia is
too stubborn to know when she is
defeated. Where he told them
that the German Army was
prepared for any eventuality
he now tells them that further
and harder sacrifices will be
necessary before the Democracies
viii be beaten.
AL the way through his
speech he endeavors to mix
apologies, explanations and en-
enlargement. And the very
evident effort to appease what
must be growing unrest and dis
appointment among the Ger
man people shows conclusively
the temper of the Fuhrer's
mind. Of all the strict censor
ship maintained in Germany and
the occupied countries Hitler's
speeches alone are handed to
the news agencies as delivered.
He will permit no censorship
of his own material.
And, while there are many
angles to the progress or lack
of progress in the war effort
which fail to enthuse thought
full Americans, it must be re-
remembered always that a
minus for the OPP
Promises position is a plus
Dwindle To for us just as well
Stalemate as plus for us is
q minus for the
enemy. To have driven Hitler
to the point where, by the alb
sence of threats of annihilia-
ton, he admits that the best he
can pledge his people is
stalemate is in itself tremen-
dous forward step. Slow and
costly as this achievement has
been it will prove to be the real
turning point of the war,
There is no question of the
tremendous German toll taken
in men and equipment by the
Russians in Hitler's supreme
effort to break through the
Caucasus during the summer of
1912. There can be no question
that these thousands of the fin
