the rate of increase in numbers

victory is certain. In every emer-

young leaders and of our pilots

the Russians, who just a week
later opened their own offensive,

way, now pushing the Germans
back upon the Dnieper river de-
tense line.
Ion9ht's communicate recorded
continued gains on four active
fronts - the Donets basin, the
northern Ukraine, the Bryansk
front, and south of Kharkov-Wlth
advances OF up to II miles and
the recapturing of approximately
300 towns and villages.
The Russians raced across the
coal-laden Donets basin to capture
Ovcherikino, 20 miles northwest
of Stalino, steel capital and long

Tending forces in their fall back
toward Dnieper. If they had not
done so, their forces were threat

in the light of the plunge to the

announcement of the fall Of Ovch-
erikino.
Altogether the Russians reported
retaking more than 90 populated
places in Donets advances Of from

At virtually the same pace as

the hands of the Axis" Marshall
reports, ''our preliminary move

gressive action. Detailed planning
for specific future offensive oper-

The combination of Brit i h
night area bombing and American
daylight precision bombing is
wrecking Germany's war poten-

a counter to this technique or ac-

The North African campaign was
"discussed in detail in Washing

uary, 1912, although the final de-
cision to launch the undertaking
was not adopted until the follow

lected because opening the Medi-
terranean would facilitate global
operations, removal of the Ger
man threat to Morocco and Da-
kar would add UNNECESSARILY to
the security of the Allied position,
and-if the operation u l d be
achieved without embittering the
French troops-a setting would be
provided for reconstruction of the
French army in preparation for

able to move into Tunisia, When

with a force of 100000 men.
The conquest of North Africa

JAPS WON RACE

Men We're On Way To Is
lands When Foe Stuck
AT Pearl Harbor

WASHINGTON, Sept. g. -
The japanese won the race to the
Philippines by just month.
General George C. Marshall re.
vealed in his war report to Sec
rotary Stimson today that if the
Japanese had swung with the as
sassin's knife in January instead
of December, they would h ave
faced another 10000 American
fighting men in the islands, we'll
supplied. AS it was, the Philip
pine force included My 10000
American troops.
About half the troops and more
than half the materiel were ac-
tually afloat when the bombers
hit Pearl Harbor. The Reminder
were awaiting embarkation - the
men scheduled to start by De-
cember and the rest of the goods
by January 6.
Six troop ships and nine cargo
vessels were on the way when or
ders came to make for friendly
ports.
-Four of the troop ships return
ed to San Francisco" Marshall
reported. The other two, which
were well out from Honolulu with
$500 troops aboard, made Bris-
bane, Australia, after Is days of
silence and uncertainty.
"All but one of the cargo YES
sells reached friendly ports. The
exception was presumed captured
after having reported On January
from 600 miles south of Tahiti
that an unidentified airplane had
ordered her to halt but that she
was proceeding to New Zealand.
Another vessel whose cargo in
cluded P-40 fighters, motor vehi-
cles, rifles, ammunition, and gaso-
line, was at Christmas island at
the time the Japanese struck. 1t
Immediately put to sea and no
word was heard from it until the
23rd of December when it sailed
into Los Angeles harbor with its
cargo intact"
