Collapse of British effort to pry

recapture of Leros island in the
Italian Dodecanese group. Its fall

FOE USING 'TANKMEN
Large Forces Concentrated
Against Reds To

LONDON, Thursday, Nov.
18.-(P - A mounting Ger
man counter-attack with a
field force reported to total
$4,000 men sent the Red ar
my into reverse yesterday in
the Zhitomir Korostyshev
region of the northern Uk-
raine - a small sector of the
vast Eastern front - in the
first admitted Soviet set
back since the Russian Of
fensive began four months
ago.
However, in the Dniepet
bend Soviet troops killed g.
900 Germans and seized sew
eral towns and in the Koros-
ten rail junction area 60 more
towns and hamlets were cap
tured. Advances were also
made in the Gomel-Rechitsa
area and a new Soviet drive
was reported under way near
Orsha.
The unusual announcement
of the Soviet retreat came in
the Moscow communique, re-
corded from a broadcast by
the Soviet Monitor, and in
the later midnight supple
ment.
1,500 Germans Killed
The Germans concentrated large
forces of tanks and infantry on a
narrow sector of the front, the
communique said, and after kill
ing 1,500 Germans and destroying
30 tanks and troop carriers, the
Russians under pressure of the
numerically superior enemy forces
abandoned few populated places
and entrenched themselves in new
positions.
The German counter attack was

Uncle Ruy's Corner

AS Christmas Day draws close,
boys and girls look forward to the
toys and games which may come
their way. In wartime, the supply
may not be so large, but there are
plenty Of toys, just the same.
Something in the nature of chill
dren makes them want to play with
toys. If they do not have enough
OF them from stores, they are likely
to build their own playthings.
Indian children seem to have had
a few kinds of toys before white
men came to the New World. We
are told that some Indian boys were
found playing with wooden tops
when white explorers first reached
their tents on the Western prairies.
Many Indian girls are believed to
have ss.ayeE with small dolls back in
the days before Columbus.
Dolls were used as playthings in
ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome.
Some Of these dolls have been saved
down to the present day.
In the British museum In London
is fiat wooden doll which was
found in an Egyptian tomb. 1t has
paint marks to show the face.
Strings of beads, fastened to the
Evening star., 1943-12-24

head, were meant to stand for hair.
The beads were made from mud.
The little girl who owned that
wooden doll probably was a member
of a poor family. Many other Egyp-
tian dolls were made of better
material. Another doll in the same
museum is a bronze figure of Q
woman holding jar on her head.
Some Egyptian children had dolls
with arms and legs which would
move. Others had toy crocodiles
with jaws that would move.
Roman boys played with hoops
and tops. Like Greek boys of early
times, they had balls to use in
games. Often the balls were made
of leather stuffed with wool or dry
grass.
In these modern times. We have
gone far above ancient folk in the
toy industry. Millions of dollars are
spent each year on toys. What
would child of ancient times think
if he could make visit to the toy

generally known, the infants are
always given new bassinet of their
own. Weather and vermin make
the old nest unfit for them. Even
when there are more than one brood
each season, mother builds new
homes for them.
There is endless variety in bird
architecture. The materis: used by
one species may be entirely different
from that collected by another
builder. Some Of the nests display
great skill in workmanship; others
are slipshod dwellings that last only
for the duration of the short time
demanded of them.
The yellow warbler is one of our
commonest warblers and is generally
found in rather swampy thicksts
and in orchards. The courting sea-
son lasts from May until about the
middle of June, throughout the East

this is the reason Madam Yellow
Warbler takes such pains with her

We should dIshonor ourselves
and our cause if we did not face
with a candid conscience our NOR
al responsibility in the devasta-
ton of the German cities. For
obviously we cannot be satisfied
to say that we are now doing
what the enemy did first. We re-
ject his moral standards and,
therefore, cannot stoop to justify
our actions by, his standards.
The immediate problem is clear
enough: the German state through
its armed might is holding cap
tive, and indeed in slavery, most
of the nations of Europe. Fortress
Europe is a prison, WHICH must be

from which the subjugation of
Europe is directed, inplemented

The destruction being visited
upon civilian Germany is not,
therefore, Wanton in that it is in

only spare Berlin at the cost of

millions who are the victims of

There will, we may suppose, be
little argument among men of
scrupulous conscience about this
phase of the matter. But there is

Amazing New Secret

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s-t

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29-tR
Amazing new secret wea-
pons, one So sensational that
a foreign scientist labeled it
impossible, are working their
wonders for the United Statas
Navy.
This was disclosed today by
Rear Admiral w. H. p. Blandy,
chief of the ordnance bureau,
who said they have now been
in use for months, "helping in
a large degree to shorten this
war;"
The weapons, which Blandy
said are "fully comparable to
the German radio controlled
bomb and the German acoustic
homing t,rpedoes," are I'M
known either to the enemy or
to the public. Continued sec
recy has been possible, the
admiral explained, because
when the Navy loses wea-
pom, it usually sinks to the bot
tom of the ocean where it can
not be captured and initiated.

Hull did not say specifically
what sources spread the p e a e

The intention, he told his press
conference, is 10 build up over
confidence among the Allies in the
hope that their vigorous attacks
on Germany will be relaxed.
A short time before he spoke a

Germany had made a new peace
