Kharkov Retaken By Reds

In the give-and-take on the Eastern front
Kharkov has again fallen into Russian hands.
Because the Germans have lost the initiative
in Russia it seems safe to believe that the
end of the war will find it still controlled by
forces of the Soviets.
The city was first overrun by the Germans
in their initial push. They entered it on Oc-
tober "a, 1941, and remained in possession
until the Red armies retook it on February
16 last year during their brilliant counter of
fensive, when they drove 375 miles west of
Stalingrad. When the succeeding G m an
counter thrust rolled the Russians back it was
again occupied by the Huns, on March IA.
Now the Germans are gone again. Their
greatest base in all southern Russia is lost
to them. 1t was from Kharkov that they
launched their great 1912 drive that took them
to Stalngrad, which they made shambles
but could not conquer, and to the Caucasian
mountain passes where they threatened the
great oil fields in the conquest of which they
would have secured the fuel they needed for
further advances.
This Russian success may we'll precede a
general German retirement f r m Southern
Russia, for Kharkov is rail center second
only to Moscow. With their supply lines sew
cred and the Ukraine vast area of scorched
earth, the Germans will be able neither to
subsist on the land or bring in food and sup
plies. They are in similar situation with
that of Rommefs army when the British won
the initial success in Africa at ell Alemain.
1t would not be surprising, therefore, to learn
that they adopted Rommers tactics and will
soon be moving out of the land they devas-
tated in the hope of reaching friendly soil
before winter sets in.

Stain Plays Lone Hand

The recall of the Russian ambassador from
washington so soon after Stain recalled his
envoy at London has thrown the capitals of
Russia's chief allies into state of perturba-
ton, to put it mildly.
Russia, the United States and Great Britain
are the principal powers upon which rests
the responsibility of overthrowing the Axis
not in Europe alone, but ultimately in the
Pacific With Russia's aid, the victory over
the Japanese would be quickened, and it ap-
pears inevitable that sooner or later Toyko
is liable to blunder across the Siberian from
and Americans, Russia could not hope to
settle her account with Germany w h out
greater sacrifices than she is capable of max
ing
Conditions being as they are, it seems silly
to think that Stain, the master realist of the
day, would consider a separate peace with
Germany, even if he were not committed
against it.
1t could be that he has Withdrawn his am
bassadors as means of Fastening the second
AOiiS
hand for a while and keep Roosevelt and
Churchill on the anxious bench. AS one dis
patch puts it, he may have determined that
as long as he was not invited to the Quebec
conference, Britain and America must send
special ENJOYS to Moscow if they want to
learn what he plans to do, This view is sup
ported by the forthcoming trip of Anthony
Eden to Moscow.
Because Stain is secretive, it is impossible
to appraise his action in advance Any sur
mise of his motives or purposes is as likely
to be right as it is to be wrong. But it is
unfortunate that any disarrangement of the
pattern of Allied war plans should come when
the Germans are losing their punch and being
forced against the ropes

More Confusion

Charlotte defense officials have taken the
blackout signal system into their own hands,
issuing an sorder advising residents to forget
all about the ''blue-red-blue business and
remember only that steady sustained blast
on the sirers indicates alert when all build
ings must be blacked out and motor vehicles
travel with dirnmed headlights, and a waver-
ing blast means danger when all lights must
20 out and traffic stop. No audible aIl-clear
is contemplated
All successive steps toward total blackout
as practiced generally, are thus eliminated.
The program has the advantage OF relieving
the population from keeping too many things
in mind when a drill is in progress. This is
offset by inevitable confusion among the peo
pie who, having learned one routine of OBJ
servance, are now required to learn another
and are certain to get their signals mixed.
If universal program of observance is not
set Up and adhered to, the time may come
when the defense units upon whom rests the
obligation of carrying out blackouts will be
as confused as the public. If actual attack
should come in these circumstances the result
would be disastrous.
Isn't it due the people, who would suffer
most in an actual air raid, to have the national
authorities with civilian defense in charge
adopt a universal system of blackout obser-
vance, with simplicity the keynote, and make
its operation compulsory?

Fish "Talk"

Noises made by fish have often been mis-
taken for enemy submarine propellers. Navy
men manning sensitive listening devices have
fallen into this error time and time again.
Drum, croakers toadfish are the noisest.
Their racket creates underwater vibrations.
How many depth charges they have caused
to be released is not known but all too often
when naval crews have been expecting an
oil smear after blast they have seen only
dead fish.
But no longer. At the naval laboratory at
Beaufort, this state, the staff has made many
recordings of fish talk which may be read
lily recognized by ship Listeners" Memoriz-
ing these noises they will henceforth be able
to distinguish them from the sound of whirring
propellers.

Raymond Clapper Says:
Brendan Bracken Speaks
With Utmost Authority

anxious to make him trouble be-
cause of the unquestioned support
that the Prime Minister gives him.
That makes all of the difference
in the world.
1t is, of course, not only Church
ills backing that makes Bracken
effective. He is shrewd, tough
minded fellow with the impish out
spoken nature of Churchill him
self. At luncheon or dinner Brack-
en- goes into monologue of in
definite duration filled with wit,
wisdom, inside information, and
ruthless debunking of British Colo
mel Blimps. His best monologue,
however, is the one he gives about
how every democracy should abol-
ish its propaganda agencies and
censorship offices the day the war
is over. He is the first bureaucrat
I ever heard who didn't argue for
his own Immortality. Criticism
doesn't bother Bracken because he
considers it all either politically
inspired or the fruit of ignorance.
Bracken doesn't take any of his
propaganda work as seriously as
he does collecting poetry and old
furniture which may be another
reason for his effectiveness. 1t
gives him that casual touch, and
sets him talking about what a
poor propaganda he is. Every
body calls him by his first name

Sidelight On ''The Raven"

An associate professor of English at Hunter
college, Mr.. Thomas Oliver Mabbott, says he
has discovered Poes poem, The Raven, in
an inconspicuous book on elocution published
several months before it appeared in Poe's
own volume, The Raven and Other Poems
published in November 1845. Professor Nab
bot says he has found only four copies of
the elocution textbook-the libraries of Har-
ward and Brown universities, the New York
Public Library and the British Museum.
Bibliophiles, naturally, will be interested in
the Mabbot announcement, but it can hold
little interest among less devoted readers.
What is more interesting and at the same
time distressing, to persons of average hu-
manitaran reactions, is the additional item
in the dispatch concerning Professor Nab
bots announcement that collectors are said
to have paid as high as $1,000 for copy
of Poes own volume.
his ailing wife, who knew the pangs of hunger,
wore rags and died in a gutter, not so much
because of evil habits but because his liter
ary output was proverbially under compen-
sated, has a place at last among writer's
whose books acquire increasing value as they
decrease in number.
The contemporary reward Of genius too often
reflects public indifference.

Job Half Done

The purpose of the air blitz over Germany
and German-held areas was to reduce pro-
duction. cut communications and soften the
Reich for invasion. So we'll has the job been
done that a London cable dispatch to the
New York Times says it is fully so per cent
complete. THAT means that preparations for
an invasion Of the Continent have progressed
ahead of schedule says. the dispatch, "and
that what was regarded a possible oper-
alton for 1914 is now held to be feasible this
year in military circles
Citing support for the view held in the dis
match. it is shown that the factories in the
Ruhr are idle or producing very little, With
the bulk of the areas population homeless or

main in Germany that cannot be destroyed

cent raids, when more than 1000 tons of
bombs were dropped
If is the opinion of the dispatch's author.
p.vuond Daniell that the remaining half of
the softening up operation may be completed
more speedily than the first, and this is rea-
sonab1e in view of the fact that while German
,roduction is waning that of the Allies is
still increasing
At the same time it is not to be overlooked
that Axis armies in Europe, despite tremen-
dous losses in Russia and heavy casualties
in Africa and Sicily, still exceed those under
the Kaiser in 1918 when the Allies had friendly

The Literary Guidepost

And of Johnny Nolan, an Irish
lad who was too handsome and
too fond of liquor, but who loved
everybody just the same and SEEM
ed unable to understand why ev-
erything fell short of his expec-
tation. Not occasionally, but al
ways.
There is no reason why a pros
pective reader should not know
in advance that Francie and her
brother will grow into youth be-
fore the book is done, and that
their father will die, and that their
mother will marry again. This is
almost all there is of the story,
but it is enough of a frame for
Miss Smith. She wants you to see
Francie growing up, and all
around her the surging life OF
Brooklyn. The boys and girls
dragging junk to the yard to sell
for pennies; mashing cans on the
trolley truck to make pot y
which then was the center of a
street game. She wants YOU to
know Aunt Sissy, who was fun
and liked the men much too much.
These and thousands of other mat
tiers in the lives of people who
llved badly on almost nothing, to
whom stale bread was the actual
staff OF life, and dill pickle, a
great luxury.

"A Tree Grows In Brooklyn u
BETTY Smith lHarnerS. 50 rSl

by Betty Smith (Harpers; $2.75).
Betty Smiths "a Tree Grows
In Brooklyn" is the best novel of
its sort I have read in a year
1t is the sort Martha Wolff writes,
though Miss Smiths approach is
perhaps little gentler, and since
the book is about childhood in
Brooklyn and the author is 81
years old, this may be because
time has lent little better per-
spective. Miss Smith has not been
much in Brooklyn for quite a
while.
1t is difficult to say what "A
Tree Grows In Brooklyn is
about, and I suspect that some
Literary Guild subscribers may
be a little puzzled. The novel has
no plot as such, nor does it have
any thesis beyond the favorite
American belief that "the poor"
can and do transcend their cir
cumstances sometimes.
1t IS a realistic and often heart
breaking picture of the childhood
OF two children growing up in Will

peace. Send forth Thy call for
recruits to the prayer front,
where our hope Of victory lies.
May none of us grow discouraged
because of delayed answers to our
supplications; but, instead, m y
