Of Allied Stroteey
By the Associated Press

President Roosevelt disclosed
today that preliminary plans for
the next great Allied blows
against the Axis will be submit
ted by British American chiefs
of staff tonight. and Japan APP
peared high among the targets
as the Chief Executive said that
a large majority of American
forces outside the United States
are in the Pacific.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that recon-
mendations by the top Allied
military. naval and air advisers
would be studied by himself and
Prime Minister Churchill over
the weekend and that final de-
cisions would probably be made
next week.
Even as the momentous be
hind-the- scenes strategy plan
ming went into high gear, an
Axis-controlled Vichy broadcast
reported that trapped japanese
forces 'have begun to evacuatc
Attu" in the -day-old battle of
the Aleutians.
With American warships re-

any attempt to escape by sea and

the enemy could carry out an
evacuation.
WASHINGTON, May 2l-(PD
President Roosevelt disclosed
today that the British American
chiefs OF staff would submit
some preliminary recommended

Minister Churchill and he said
probably final decisions on them
would be made next week.
At the same time, the chief
executive told press confer
ence it is absolutely true that
large majority of Am rican for
ces outside the United States are
in the Pacific.
The British Prime Minister
had mentioned that in a speech
to Congress Wednesday, and the
President said il is particularly
true of the Army and Navy.
About half of our air force is in
the Pacific, re asserted.
Mr.. Roosevelt also issued a
statement hailing national Mari

tribute to the men who sail and
build the merchant vessels, he
told reporters that they were
helping to maintain a ring that
is slowly and surely being closed
around the Axis powers.
Asked if he could give a pro-

Helped by Snapshots
From the New York Sun

from the new YORK Sun.
Prewar vacation snapshots, turned over
to the British Admiralty by British tour
lists year ago, helped to make the
S1cilian invasion success. Other peace
time tourists who have turned in their
photographs have been told that these
to come. Comparison of the snapshots
and photographs taken by reconnais-
sance planes enables intelligence officers
and civilian experts to draw useful de-
ductions. The British Information Serv-
ices tell of one snapshot, taken in Sicily
just before the war, that showed an open
promenade. A photograph from the air
OF the same area showed the promenade
covered with structures; the presumption
was fair that this construction repre-
sented fortiflcations and therefore that
the erstwhile promenade had become a
strong point.
The ubiquitous japanese traveller with
his passion for photography was famil-.
lar prewar figure OF fact and fiction Brit
ish tourists who made Italy a second
home were less devoted to photography
possibly. but the thousands of snap
shots that they did take have an unex-
pectedly high current value, collectively.
Neither restraint nor artistry rules the
usual amateur photographer on holiday.
His impulses wind out each roll Of film.
It Is remarkable to think of Destiny,
peering over his shoulder as he takes q

A canvas chair with several squirrels
on it makes fascinating sight, provided
the spectators viewpoint is that of fun,
rather than slaughter.
In order to get the squirrels accus-
toned to regarding the chair as their
own, it should be left out at all times.
1t helps If the chair is placed at some
little distance from the house.
Those who want to kill squirrels need
no instruction.
Sometimes word now and then is nec-
essary for persons who desire to watch
them. 81.
Another way Of amusing a squirrel is
to cut small piece Of cardboard about
one by two inches, and fold it in the
middle. .-:
This makes a small book the inside
leaves OF which may be spread thinly
with peanut butter.
few OF these books, distributed
around the grass, will intrigue the SOUR.
rels all afternoon
AS small an amount of peanut butter
as possible should be used, since this is a
highly concentrated focd, OF type which
squirrels would never find in nature.
Too much peanut butter will give them
an exquisite stomach ache.
Xxx
Another squirrel sport is provided by
hanging an old .coconut shell, If one
can be found, by long wire.
Then the shell Is filled with peanuts,
or sunfower seed, or grains.
The antics of the rodents in trying to
get to the food is as amusing as q circus
and great deal less trouble to watch.
Peanuts in the shell provide the great
est of all sports, at least from the squir-
rel -tandpoint The animals not only like
to eat them, but they like to pull them
open.
We are convinced, from watching
many squirrels, that cracking a nut is
with them half the fun Surely in all
nature there is no more agreeable pic
ture than that OF a squirrel cracking and
eating nut
The other day very small but ex-
ceedingly active squirrel was coming
down tree with walnut In his mouth.
The walnut was 50 large, In its green
case, that the rodent had great dif1cultv
In carrying it, but he managed it very
cleverly.
Stopping on the steps, he made ban
quet table out Of the place After he had
finished there was nothing left except
the fragments of the shell.
Sometimes the squirrels in yard will
not be willing to eat together, and then
separate feeding places must be estab-
lished for them
This. will occur when there are too
many males. Ordinarily the squirrel
population will be better balanced, and
all the members of the community will
be happy In eating together.

Bird From the Wood

When da,Dn first lifts the soft, black
Ueil of night
And brushes star-dust from, the
pearl-gray sky,
! hear you singing, ,Dhere you rest in
flight
Before the tides OF day, a sad
good by.,
Your platntive, hesitating song
seems fed
By harps and viols of the green
pine trees
With echoed music far above your
head,
Foreper breathing chordls OF the
seas.
And IN the stlver pause that tollo,Ds
after,
The picture rises of those lush,
jade deeps,
A stream so clear and cool, with elfn
laughter
Beneath a ,oillo,o tree that bends
and ,oeeps.
Your song may come In blue, bright
ddvns, or rain,
It soothes my heart and peace re-
turns again.

THIS AND THAT
BY Charles Z. .Trnce11ell.

Squirrels and cockroaches occupy the
minds Of correspondents. One wants to
know If a squirrel is much of fighter,
and another If there are flying cock
reaches.
We believe there are some flying
reaches in Florida Certainly in the
island Of Cuba almost anything may be
expected from cockroach, which has
been dignifled by being sung about.
Tropical reaches grew very long and
very bold. 1t is said that a guest at an
island hotel, being annoyed by mice, set
a trap, and found in the morning that
he had caught nve cockroaches.
Scientists regard the roach as an in
teresting insect, but housewives look upon
it as reproach. Brought to this coun-
try from the tropics. they have made
themselves quite at home.
Squirrels are not very quarrelsome, nor
are they particularly good fighters.
In the springtime the males will fight
but mostly these battles are carried on in
the trees, where they are hard to see.
The real fighting is combined with so
much scampering to and fro that an OBJ
are just amusing themselves.
Ordinarily the squirrel does not attack
either its own kind or other animals. Oc-
casionally one will go mad, and leap at
the face of some human who peers at it
too closely. -, ;,
1t is good idea not to put ones face
too close to squirrel, especially on a
tree
Mostly the creature will keep around
on the other side.
If one desires to see how he does it, he
should, nevertheless. have one hand up
before his face, just to be on the safe
side.
The way in which an ordinary gray
squirrel can keep on the far side OF the
trunk is quite amazing. ,..
Try as much as you will, it is impossible
to catch single glimpse OF him until
you stand still
Then, if you are patient enough, you
will finally see one small ear and an eye
peering around for the squirrel Is curl
Gus animal and wants to know where
you have gone
i
A canvas-backed lawn chair is one OF
the faVorite couirrel gymnasiums
AS seat for their monkeyshines it is
supreme.
Not even tree seems to please them
so much.
Part OF the fun comes in the dificulty
OF scrambling up the back OF the chair.
Evidently the claws which stand them
in such good stead on bark fails them on
canvas, because they sometimes have to
make several trys at it. ....
Once on the top OF the back they slide
down.

1t Will Get Results

The Commissioners are going about
correcting faults found by the con-
troller general in the water regis
tar's office in manner that should
produce results. To begin with, they
chose good man for the job in
selecting Corporation Counsel Rich
mond Keech as chairman of the Spe-
cial Investigating Committee. For
whatever facts are developed, they
will be interpreted fairly and the
committee recommendations will
outline what ought to be done to put
the office on an efficient footing by
adequate stating or addition of nee
essary mechanical equipment. Two
members of the committee, repre-
.senting private utilities, are familiar
with methods of billing, collecting,
meter-reading, ETC., that have stood
the test of trial. There is no reason
why comparable methods should not
be Installed in the water department,
which should function in such re-
spects as efficiently as a private utn-
tty. There is an inclination some
times to blame Congress, which has
the exclusive appropriating authority
in the District, for such lapses as
those pointed out by the controller
general in the water registrars
office. But Congress is seldom un-
willing to make necessary changes,
or to appropriate the money to have
them made, when the appropriate
recommendations are presented. Ger
tainly the initiation Of reforms lies
