 The Japanese moved quickly fol- lowing the conquest of the Dutch East Indies to restore operation of oil wells and refineries. They were especially successful in Borneo. where the Dutch lacked sufficient time to completely destroy wells and refineries.
 But during the last six months the Japanese have found 1t increas- ingly difficult to profit fully from their loot. Heavy ship losses, inflict- ed largely by American submarines, is responsible.

railroad facilities are used princi- pally for traffic to the eastern front. Its most important industry is air. craft production and the assembly of Junkers-S8 bombers and Messer- schmitt.10o fighters.
 A German broadcast said the night raiders flew in between the Elbe and Oder rivers at high altitude and without the slightest visibility NldiscTiminately dropped single bombs" The broadcast said 10 hombers were shot down.
 It was the first raid on Leipzig since November 24, i940 and the heaviest ever made on that city. Some industries wrecked by Allied raids on the Ruhr and Rhineland were reported recently to have been moved to Leipzig in the hope that their distance from Britain - 800 miles from London = might spare them from destruction.
 Leipzig Second City
 Leipzig is second only to Berlin in importance as railway junction. and it's devastation would impose additional strain on the Reich's al- ready overtaxed communications system.
 Recent reports had indicated that the Germans were strengthening their arti-aircraft defenses around Leipzig in fear of British attacks.
 The raid was the RATS 10th night attack on Germany this month, and was made under un- favorable weather conditions with heavy cloud formations hampering the bombardiers.
 Nevertheless, 1t was believed that heavy damage was inflicted on Leip- zig by the British area bombing tactics which are not dependent upon perfect visibility.
 The loss of 1T planes was con- sidered light in view of the import ance of the target and the adverse weather, and represented less than five per cent of the striking force.
 The Mosquito attack on Berlin was the 86th of the war and, was designed to divert German fighters from the main target and keep Berliners constantly jumpy.
 German Planes
 About 30 German planes crossed the English coast during the night and dozen of them penetrated London's fierce anti-aircraft bar rage to give the capital its fifth raid in as many nights.
 Flying in at high speed from several directions, the raiders drop- ped explosives and incendiarieS in several coastal districts and in the London area.
 One bomber dived low and dumped a bomb squarely on luxury apart ment block, wrecking three houses and killing a number of persons.
 The explosion damaged elevators and set fire to part of one building, trapping many residents in the up- per floors. Bremen and air raid precaution workers rescued many and dug through the wreckage of other damaged houses to extricate trapped survivors.
 At the height of the rescue work, Q barTage balloon fell on the roof of . nearby pub and exploded, kill- ing two firemen and injuring al- other.

known facts Germany's military
position is deteriorating progress
sively: there is an obviously WIDEN
ing gap between the Nazis and the
old-line army chieftains; there is
friction within the Nazi organiza-
tion due to efforts to shift and
escape responsibility for the decline
of Germany's fortunes.
What the United States, Great
Britain and Russia must decide is
how far these internal clashes have
gone and how long it will be before
the final crack-up comes.
Militarily it appears possible that
the Germans might withdraw suf-
ficiently from the east to establish
a Polish -Carpathian line which
could be defended with half the
present force. This would release
forces to meet the Allied thrust
from the West. But it is question
able whether German morale could
stand up to such a move and it
would expose Eastern Germany to
air attack
One other possibility remains open
to Germany. She might be able to
persuade Japan to attack Siberia,
thereby forcing the Russians to in
terrrpt their present offensive.
There is no doubt in London that
Germany has again been SO urging
the Japanese, but there is doubt
that the japanese would do so un-
less persuaded that otherwise Ger
many is quickly going under and
Japan would go with her.
1t is the conservative opinion here
that a number of the old-line Ger
man militarists now realize Ger
many is going to lose the war But
it is doubted that they have yet
challenged Nazi control. The feel
ing. prevails. however, that after
Italy is definitely out of the war,

have received HambCrg's fate and

A front dispatch to the govern

Izvestia quoted German prisoners
that they never had undergone
such bombardment from artillery

to have lost upward of half their
personnel.

advance, the Germans were fighting
