BY p G. STROMBERG-

centrate strategy and effort to-
ward eliminating the Japs as a
world power. Just how long and
tedious a task that will prove,
only history will tell. But we
can safely wager that Hirohito
and TOTO will experience un-
happy moments and sleepless
night when that time arrives.
So it seems easily possible
that Germany can be knocked
out of the war during 1913. Her
home front cannot help but be
pretty badly shattered. She en-
tered the war with nothing but
great victories behind and ahead.
Hitler had succeeded in selling
the German public on the idea
that they were superior race
and could not be halted in their
campaign for world domination.
For year and nine months she
pressed steadily forward. And
then she struck Russia with
whom she had made friendly
pact.
Early and complete victory and
a German dominated peace was
the promise during the first year,
the second year and the third
year. We are now in the fourth
year and the German people can
see nothing except further self
denials, sacrifices, restrictions
and hardships. Another winter
now when the war
Block. was supposed to
Busters have been won in
On Berlin 1910. And now she
is undergoing the
worst bombings of all times
worse than she administered to
England. Even Berlin is begin
ming to feel the weight of "block
busters"
So, like many others, / feel
we will win this war as we did
the last war-through a COM
plete WEAKNESS and collapse of
the German home front
There is only one warning note
in this optimistic viewpoint. This
is our first winter of war restric-
tons. 1t might not be our last.
And if it isn't then we had bet
ter steel ourselves for greater
restrictions next year than the
mild ones thus far imposed. Like
the man who predicted the years
following 1880, we might look
back on this winter and feel that
it was not so bad after all.

New Taxicab
Arrangement In
Effect At Rockville
Cabs Will Be Parked On
Public Lot-One Telephone
To Serve All

In the future there will be only
one telephone number for taxicabs
in Rockville. This results from the
acceptance by the operators of a
plan advanced by county and town
officials in an effort to relieve the
confusion which has often result
ed from conditions in the center of
town. All cabs operating in the
county seat will be parked in the
lower end of the public parking lot
on Commerce Lane. A section Of
the lot has been set aside for this
purpose by the County Commits
sioners and officials of Rockville
have agreed to light the area at
night. Taxicab operators agreed
to the plan to have one telephone
and to have cabs take their places
in line so that the front machine
will answer the call.
Should an operator desire to rem
der special service he will be
obliged to receive the call at home.
Inverscly should user desire to
call a special operator he will be
obliged to place the call at the
operators home. He will not be
permitted to take his cab out of
line.
Officials and operators alike are
hopeful that the new arrangement
will contribute to a more desirable
and efficient service.
Operators further agreed that at
least one cab will remain on call
until the last bus reaches Rockville
from Washington, which is shortly
after midnight.
