HitIer's Back Is Broken
Declares A. P. Writer,
Back From War Zone
By the Associated Press.


MIAMI, Fla, Feb 18-Dewitt
Mackenzie, Associated Press writer
whose column analyzing world
events is published daily in more
than 300 newspapers, has returned
from a lengthy tour abroad with
the strengthened conviction that
Germany will be beaten in 1943.
Il am more than ever convinced. "
he reported on his arrival here after
a four -anda-half month trip which
took him as far east as Chungking
China, that Hitler's back is bro
ken-as matter of fact it was bro
ken last fall when he failed to smash
through into the Lower Caucasus
and that we ought to be able to dis
pose of the Nazi all-higheSt by the
end of this year
Most observers and military peo-
pie with whom I have talked feel
that Japan should fall by the end of
1914, If not sooner"
To Summarize Findings.
Mr.. Mackenzie, who cabled time
ly reports to his readers during his
tour, will give detailed summary
of his findings in series of columns
beginning next week.
One of the things that impressed
me most" he said, "is the terrific
striking power being piled up by the
United States, Great Britain and the
other Allies, and the rapidity with
which it is growing
There could be no doubt in the
mind of any one who had seen the
way these Allied resources are multi
plying that victory by the United
Nations is certainty"
He found a healthy respect for
American forces overseas, Mr.. Mac
kenzie said, adding: "On one thing
they are agreed and that is that our
American boys abroad are doing
grand job.
Apart from combat service. we
are doing a tremendous amount of
spade work-such, for example, as
the development of that vitality
important supply line from the
head of the Persian Gulf into Russia
to enable the Soviet forces to con-
tinue their magnificent offensive"
Says Army Must Be Smashed.
Mr.. Mackenzie said that the big
task remaining for the United Ma
tions Is to smash Hitler'S strong
est remaining weapon, which is his
army, and that must be done on
the battlefield. To use a term of
which Herr Hitler himself is very
fond, it must mean the 'annihilation'
of the German Army"
That Is to say" he continued.
"the German forces must be so
thoroughly crushed that they cam
not fight again. Capture of terri
tory means nothing-destructio of
Hitler's military strength is every
thing.
This presumably means the
opening up of the long awaited
second front, so that the Nazi
fighting machine can be ground be-
tween the Russian forces in the
east and the other Allied forces in
the west.
Il find widespread feeling
among military experts that once
this has been achieved and the
Allies are able to throw their en-
tire air, naval and military strength
into the Orient there will be no
question about the United Nations
being able to dispose of the Japa-
nese."

Rescue

Delbert Bowen, who is serving
with the Il. S. coast guard in north
western Washington, participated in
a recent spectacular rescuing of the
crews of two small Russian ships
when they went aground during a
severe storm. Delbert writes his
parents here, enclosing newspaper
account of the rescue.
In this rescue, according to the
article, lies the story of one of the
most spectacular rescues in the his
tory of the United States coast
guard, the literal snatching of Sd
souls from Watery grave to solid
footing on a north shore cliffsde. +"
One ship ran onto nest of rocks
almost directly below towering
cliff. The ship was smothered in the
foam and waves almost to her stack.
The crew huddled amidships on the
hull below her rail waving flash
lights and firing rifles, eventually
bringing coast guard beach patrol
men to the scene.
Attempts to reach the ship by
lifeboat failed because of the terri
BILE breakers. Similar attempts by
members of the crew to launch life
boats had failed. Finally the coast
guardsmen decided to attempt a
rescue from the top of the cliff To
reach this they had to hack their
way through mile of swamp and
underbrush, then scaled wind and
rain swept rocks under conditions
from which an experienced noun
taineer would have prudently
turned.
The newspaper report continues.
From their lofty perch, from

Going to Burn
Brush? Take More
Core Than Ever

Are you going to burn some brush
or trash on your place this year?
More than ever before we must be
careful with brush fires this year,
because brush fires can start forest
fires and forest fires aid the enemy
Don't burn without a permit
from the ranger or fire warden.
Don't burn in hot, dry, or windy
weather. Scrape trail or pillow
around the spot to be burned. Keep
help and tools handy, and watch
the fire till the last spark is dead
More than six million acres
of forest land has burned over
each year because brush fires got
away and spread to the woods.
People who deliberately set forest
fires may have to face prosecution
Under the Sabotage law this year.
Why? Because forest fires
sabotage the war effort when they
destroy critical materials. When
they drain manpower from factories
and farms. And when the smoke
they make blinds pilots and bonn
bardiers on patrol against enemy
subs.
So let's remember, folks, to be
careful with fire in forests and farm
woodlands to be careful our
selves, and to ask others to be care
full For until we smash the Axis,
every forest fire even careless
