slcILY.-For many months both Germans and Italians have been batter
ing Brhains lifeline through the Mediterranean with planes based upon
srategcany located Sicily. From these Siciian fields bomb@s have shuttled
across the 90 miles of water to blast the British base at Malta. An ar-borne
army has undoubtedly long been held here in anticipation of dropping in IN
Malta att the opportune moment But the solid defenders of Malta have
never weakened. Instead they have exacted a terrible toll of NaI planes
and pilots.
The Germans, realizing that any Allied hope of invading the soft under
side of the Axis through Italy must include capture of Sicily first have
probably heavily fortified the island and garrsoned it well. Trapani, STa.
cusa, Catania, Messina and Palermo are all bases with good arhelds. Out
of them operate Axis submarines and small surface craft Scattered over
the island, which is only IFS miles long, are nnumerable concealed air bases
Italian in name only
The geography of Italy forces her to be ready to defend herself from
many directions, but also gives her many geographical advantages. To
Sicily, MussoGni has given the task of preventing an invasion of Italy
from the south. Sicily fitted well into the offensive scheme of empire
which Mussoini had outlined for his country previous o the collapse OF
italian armies in Egypt and the subsequent inhlration of German troops
In World War I Italy waited until 1915 to see how events would fall
Convinced then of Allied victory, and under promises of territorial gains
Italy entered the war and received a terrific pounding from Ausuians and
Germans, eliminating in a disastrous defeat OF the Piave river. In World
War II Italy ws equally cautious and did not enter the var as Germanys
ally against England and France until it was apparent to her military lead
ers that France vas already shaking n her heels from German assaults
There are good reasons for this Italian caution. Italy is a poor nation with
many people and little wealth. She has millions of soldiers, but little coal
and iron to make weapons for them, and little will to fight to the finish.
Her coast line is long and her food supply is dependent upon other coun-
tries Italy's chief ambitions were to build a ley Roman empire around
the Mediterranean sea, to open the Engish-hed door to the Atlantic at
Gibraltar and by conquering Egypt and the Sudan to link up Ethiopia
with Italy.

The Village Grocer
Under a spreading web of Rules
The Village Grocer stands,
His brow is all tied up in knots, his
head is in his hands.
And there hardly is from day to
day
A rule he understands.
His hair is thin and getting worse.
HIS face is grey or blue, his brow
is wet with honest sweat.
His set-up is so new.
HIS customers are dizzy. but
The grocer's dizzy too.
Day in day out from morn till night,
GU can hear the loud disputes
As women battle for sauerkraut, wax
beans and processed fruits,
The grocer's lot is loud Bronx
cheers,
Plus some discordant boots.
The children coming home from
school,
Look in at the open door
They love to see how their elders act
in rationed Grocery Store.
When both sides figure the total
points
And dispute the final score.
He goes on Sunday to the Church,
and sees the people meek
And maTvels that they are the ones
who fought him all the week
And he's glad there are no value
cards
When the Parson starts to speak.
Toillng, computing, soTowing
Onward through life he goes.
Each morning sees the OPA with new
rules to disclose;
Each evening sees him tottcr home
A wreck from head to toes
His business is not what it was,
He knows that he is through with
the days when ne knew what he
could sell,
And knew the prices too.
(And "Charts" were things a sailor
used
When he sailed the waters blue.)
Thanks, thanks to thee my grocer
lend
For the lessons that you teach,
Into each life some raindrops fall,
With a point value for each
OH take can of that Apple juice
And how many points for peach?)
