RUSSIA:
'Disengaged Nazis

German troops continued to "sys-
tematically disengage themselves"
as the Red army smashed on toward
Smolensk, captured Poltava, the
last Nazi base in the southern
Ukraine, and engulfed German de-
lenses along 30O-mile line just
short of the middle Dnieper river.
Continuing their drive on Smo-
lensk, the great Nazi eastern front
stronghold that once was Hitler's
headquarters, the Russian army
closed in from the southeast, over
running 1863 villages and killing more
than $500 Germans.
A Berlin broadcast acknowledged
the peril to Smolensk, Kiev and other
eastern front bastions. But Berlin
was hesitant to paint the overall pic
ture. For instance: The Germans
at one time held approximately $780,
900 square miles of Russia proper.
1t is estimated that they now hold
only 100000.

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:
Spring another Trap

Japanese troops manning the i'm
portant New Guinea base of Fin
schafen were hemmed in on three
sides by Allied forces following Gen.
Douglas MacArthur's master plan of
utilizing units to land in strength
behind the enemy's key points and
work to cut off his supply.
After the pattern of the conquest
of Lac farther to the south, big air
plane transports landed Allied troops
northwest of Finschafen. AS these
troops pressed in against the Japs
from the west, other ground forces
moved in on the enemy from the
south. Then, the enlightenment was
made complete when the U. S. navy
put troops ashore to the north.
Capture of Finschafen would place
the Allies a short distance from the
Jap air bases on New Britain is
land to the east and thus reduce the
efficiency of these bases as points for
attack on U. S. forces.

NAPLES:
Cutted CITY

By the time Allied forces had
opened their offensive against Ma
Piles, the Nazis had turned the big
port city into a mass of flames.
They wrecked and scuttled every
ship that had escaped Allied bombs
and destroyed every wharf.
The Fifth and Eighth armies were
bringing their full power to bear
against their objective. That the
Germans had early given up hope
of holding the city was proved by
the wholesale destruction of all usa-
BILE facilities. At least 30 ships lay
sunk or aground in the harbor as
the result of Nazi scuttling and AL
lied bombs. Bombers had also
wrecked railroad yards so thorough
ly that no traffic had come into them
for weeks.
Corsica
Even as the offensive against Ma
Piles began, French troops and Amer
lean Rangers were driving ahead in
Corsica, island of Napoleonic his
tory. They had closed in on Bastia,
northeastern port of the island, and
Allied naval and air forces had
clamped on tight blockade against
German escape.

Civilian Defense
Proves Its Worth

AS Germany begins the defense of
her inner fortress and the once
feared Luftwaffe has been converted
from an offensive to defensive ma
chine the problem of keeping up the
morale of Civilian Defense in this
country is a difficult one. 1t would
be foolhardy to lie down on the job
now for history has shown that fire.
quently fierce and bitter conflicts
grow out of victories and until the
last shot is fired and after that, it
isn't safe to desert the ramparts.
Recently the value of civilian de-
tense training was proved in man.
ner which received very little rec
ognition outside of the immediate
vicinity. When the Congressional
Limited, the crack train that runs
between New York and Washington,
was wrecked in Philadelphia, when
the Twentieth Century Limited, an
other crack train between Chicago
and New York, was wrecked, and
when a hotel burned in Houston,
Texas, the civilian defense organi-
cation proved its mettle. On all
three occasions, invaluable service
was rendered by these unselfish men
and women who have so long an
swered mock alarms and gone on
duty for practice drills.
1t was definitely shown that in the
case of the wreck of the Congress
sional Limited and in the Houston
fire lives were actually saved by the
defense workers. In Philadelphia a
group of air raid wardens meeting
near the scene of the wreck were
the first to arrive on the scene.
In short time $500 trained work.
ers were at work assisting police and
helping the rescue. So effectively did
they handle the traffic that in spite
of the great crowds, lanes were kept
open so that all injured persons not
actually pinned in the wreck had
been removed to hospitals within IS
or 40 minutes.

LIFE INSURANCE.:
On Var Deaths

Deaths in the United States army,
navy and marine corps up to the end
of June, 1913, have resulted in life
insurance claim payments totaling
80 million dollars, the Institute of
Life Insurance has reported.
OF 23,700 policies on which pay
ments were made, SIS, 10000 was
paid out under 11,100 policies in the
first six months of this year by
American life insurance companies.
1.-THE number of deaths is prob
ably half the number of claims
paid" the institute said. The aver
age ownership of life insurance is
two policies per policy holder.

Battle of Italy
Beginning of End

AS write these lines, the startled
moon has just slipped behind jag
ged curtain of clouds, like trans
port sliding under the protecting
cloak of a smoke screen.
That comparison leaps to my mind
because all day I have been follow
ing, as you have and as closely as
either of us could, the progress of
the greatest military undertaking
which an American army has at
tempted in this Wharf.-The battle Of
Italy. For the battle of Italy is the
storming of the very portals of the
Reich, the outer rim, it is true, but
nonetheless, the first breastworks of
Hitler's inner fortress.
Here, for the first time, American
soldiers, hardened on the harsh
sands of Africa and the cruel hills
of Sicily, meet the guardsmen of the
Nazi citadel. Not bi-colored army,
diluted by a half-hearted ally, Italy,
but logged German fighters defend
ing the gateway to their own, their
native land.
The end of the beginning has end
ed, tne beginning OF tne enQ mas De-
gun. And we who have watched
every sign and every signal as the
curtain between what we thought
and what we knew was lifted, realize
how little we and the world can
guess of the inner and complicated
workings of this great war machine.
AS the armies of the Allies attack
the enemy citadel-the leaders of
the Allies, Roosevelt and Churchill,
plan W edifce.
The invasion of Sicily and the in
vasion of Italy were planned at
Casablanca where, for "a hours, the
few newsmen who were permitted
to know, kept the secret of the meet
ing itself. Beside the historic wa
tiers of the St. Lawrence, in the
citadel at Quebec, the marching
orders were sealed while we news
men waited, blinded and deafened to
all but the most general ideas.
What are those marching orders?
Some other startled moon will tell.

ALLIED CHIEF:
Post to Marshall

To Gen. George C. Marshall was
to 60 the supreme command of all
Allied forces, it was reported, even
as congress loudly protested over the
generals rumored removal as chief
strategist,o of the Allied armies.
According to the rumors, General
Marshall's differences with British
leaders over war plans resulted in
pressure for his removal as U. S.
chief of staff, in which capacity he
mapped all U. S. military activity
and thus influenced British action.
Official Washington waited to see
whether General Marshall's report
ed appointment as supreme COM
mander of all Allied forces carried
with it the responsibility of continued
planning, or whether it only involved
execution of somebody else's
strategy.

ARMED FORCES:
Ask for Fathers

October l was at hand and be-
fore congress was the Wheeler reso-
luton which would delay the draft
ing of pre-Pearl Harbor fathers
scheduled to begin on that date.
Before the house and senate mill
tary committees came the nations
manpower experts. Also before these
legislators came the highest officials
of the army and navy. And then
they heard the voice of Bernard M.
Baruch, special presidential adviser.
Testimony from all these sources
arrived at the same essential fact:
Give the armed forces what they
want in the way of manpower.
Generally speaking the nation
seemed to agree with this viewpoint
but those who were opposing the
drafting of these pre-Pearl Harbor
fathers based their case on the as
sertion that the whole manpower
program was being mishandled and
that was why the drafting of fathers
appeared necessary" Agriculture,
the armed forces themselves, gov
eminent agencies and industry were
all accused of boarding manpower
while fathers were being asked to
get into uniform.

HANOVER:
Hangover
In one of the most destructive
bombing raids yet delivered on the
Reich, the Royal Air force demol-
ished a large area of Hanover and
struck a Gripping blow at an in
dustrial machine already staggering
from repeated onslaughts.
The Hanover raid was one of the
most destructive to be delivered on
Germany. Block busters and incen-
diaries were poured into rubber
factories, railroad yards and supply
depots at the rate of approximately
$4,000 pounds minute. London
sources said the raid was one of
the greatest air blows of the war.
Equally heartening was the indi-
cation that the Raj may have found
the answer to anti-aircraft defenses
and night fighters. Its losses were
only 26 aircraft, a remarkable rec
ord for such a large-scale attack.
