NEW YORK, March 3-Whst is
behind the success Of the Red Army?
I have been asked that question
repeatedly by persons who have been
! successfully surprised. first by the
Soviet Unions resistance to Ger
many. then by last winters counter
offensive from Moscow and now by
+ the Red Armys reconquest in the

The answer, early in the war, was
that the power Of the Soviet Union,
its 1913 900 900 people. Red Army,
Navy and Air Force and heavy in
dustry had been underestimate, but
now it is more than that.
1t is story of reorganlzati ton that
has made the Red Army as efficient

is credited largely by the best-in-

summer after the Germans broke
through the Red Armys southwest
ern front, raced south to the Cauca-
sus, east to the Volga and shattered
the Russian lines.
The first indication of alterations
in the Red Army dispositions was
given by dispatches to the military
newspaper, Red Star. These had
been date-lined from the fronts
to which the correspondents we're
accredited. Suddenly, instead OF
southwestern front" for example,
the dispatches started, Acting
army with no designation of
specific front. Secretly, changes
were effected.
After the battle of Stalingrad was
won, the secret came out-the Red
Army had been reorganized into II
fronts, each smaller, more manage
able than the original three.

to south, were the Karelian. Lenin-

Calls Peck Dam ''Breathtaking
Essay on Achievement OF Man,

Fort Peck, the largest earth
Dam IN the world, is a breathtak-
ing essay on the achievement of
man" it is declared by Irving
Greene in special article appear
ing IN the Omaha World Herald.
Greene visited the dam recently
and says, From the roadway atop
the dam you look up what was once
the comparatively narrow bed of
the upper Missouri river, over a
seemingly endless eXpanse of glis-
tening, ripping, blue-green water" :"
Away out there somewhere in
the middle of the big reservoir the
water and the sky meet. There is
not the barest hint of a shoreline
up tne length of the big lake. You
stand there wondering just how
much water there is in that vast
man-made basin. And as you stand
there you get the feeling that man.
or U. S. Engineers at least. can do
almost anything.
Only Half Full
ON the day l visited the dam
that lake extended 1870 miles up the
Missouri valley and also 40 miles
up the bed of Little Dry creek, just
east OF the main river. The reservoir
was was about half full, covering 49,

T.F.KINC,OLD
RESIDENT OF
STATE,PASSES
Burial and Funeral Services to
Be Held at Old Home in
Kewanee, Ill.

Theodore F. King, Sr., Sc, who
first came to Montana in 1881 10
serve as a court reporter at Glen
dive when it was the terminus OF
the Northern Pacific railway, died
at the ranch home of his son,
Theodore F. King Jr., on the Saco
Divide Monday Death was caused
by the infirmities of old age.
Mr.. and Mrs. King left Wednes-
DAY morning for Kewanee,. Ill, ac-
companying the body of his 1ather
and funeral services will be held
there Friday The Holland chapel
was in charge of local arrange
mentS.
Mr.. King was born in Troy, N. Y
Aug. 81, 1846. When he was 9, the
family moved to Illinois when 1t
was still a territory and he spent
his boyhood on a farm. He gradu-
ated from Knox college at Gales
burg, Ill.
Among his early recollections was
that of the time his father was
host to Abraham Lincoln during
his presidential campaign.
He was later appointed enrolling
clerk of the national house of rep
resentatives and made his home in
Washington, D. c., for IA years.
He held the last bill signed by
President U. S. Grant who gave
him the pen used in making the
signature, which is still posses
sion of his son.
After working in Glendive, he
held various county positions in
Hancock county, Ill. Meanwhile he
had continued farming operations
in that county. He returned to
Montana in 1911 and had lived on
the ranch near here ever since with
his son. He was married in Garth
age. Ill, and his wife died in 1904.
Besides his son here. he is sur
vived by a daughter, Mrs. John E.
Kemp of Kewanee, and two grand
children, First Lieut.. John E.
Kemp, now in north Africa, and

the Missouri, cover 245,000 acres,
have a shore line of 1000 miles and
maximum width of 16 miles.
This spring the 120 million dol
lar, 21,000 foot-long. 250-foot- high
dam built out of l28,000.000 cubic
yards of earth, gravel and rock,
again has proved itself.
Helped Lower Flood
For one thing, this springs flood
peak would have been about two
feet higher at Omaha had Fort
Peck not closed its gates to the
flow of water from the $1,000 square
miles of the upper Missouri basin
on March 26.
This spring, too, water has been
flowing into Fort Peck's reservoir
at rate unequaled since the dam
started impounding water. Two and
one-half million acre feet were add
ed to Fort Peck's storage from
Feb. l to May l, or about 90 per-
cent of the total amount to date
Fort Peck was built primarily
for navigation. But it helps in flood
times, too. On March 26. when the
gates were closed, 36,850 second
feet of water (the number of cubic
feet of water passing a given point
in one second) was flowing into
Fort Peck reservoir. All that would
have come down on Omaha if the
dam had not been there. On May 8
the dam was releasing only one
thousand second feet. The rest of
flow was being impounded.
Seepage Is Small.
What about seepage? Some per-
sons say Fort Peck is "cured"-that
it is comparatively impervious to
Seepage. So is the reservoir, they
say.
''At the downstream base of the
dam, at regular intervals, you can
see seepage pipes bubbling over
with water. This, the engineers say,
is all the seepage there is at the
dam at the present time 1t amounts
to not more than several hundred
gallons a day."

Keen Rivalry Among

Rivalry for private school basket
ball honors in Washington promises
to be as close and exciting as ever
this season with st. Adams and

onto the court. They won't meet
each other until late next month,
but already there is basis for COM
parison-with the result tossup.
The Saints made their debut yes

School, 40-4. Two weeks ago Lam
don defeated that same crew, 1913,
and yesterday it scored a 1922
triumph over Richard Montgomery

ures in this race with a good team
ard which plays both schools next
month, makes its 1943 start tonight
by playing at Catholic U. freshmen.
Washington's other private school,
Sidwell Friends, likewise made its
start yesterday. but picked foe too
tough to handle, losing to Bulls
School, 1850.
st. Adams, as expected. had a
walkaway against Woodward, with
Frank Cooley making the only
Woodward field goal. Earle Elliott,
one of the best cagers in schoolboy
ranks last season, again showed him
self one of the leaders by scoring
II points yesterday for the Saints,
while Cotton Smith. former Friends
star. came along we'll with 10.
