Is Rome Doomed?

The glorv that was Greece is imperishable.
What is left of the splendor that was Rome
is in danger of determination.
II the Germans repeat in Rome what they
did IN Naples the Eternal City will be a heap
of debris.
Ostensibly Rome is an open city, but there
is no reason to suppose that the Germans have
observed the requirements implicit in that
definition. 1t is more likely that they have
accumulated stores of war materiel within
its boundaries and are using its precincts as
a military center.
When Rome was bombed by the Allies it
was they who cried loudest against endan-
gering the city's historic monuments. Their
crocodile tears flowed in streams on the air
waves and through communicates But, I'm
less they have had change of heart, which
is as improbable as that leopard can actu-
ally change its spots, they will be the first
to apply the torch and fire the gun to destroy
all that remains of Rome's ancient great
ness, and in addition every building and re-
source of the modern city. Nor are they likely
10 spare the Vatlcan ltselI, III whose SHduoWS
they have lurked throughout the entire period
of Italys participation in the war.
The main German defense line in the shank
of Italy is now hundred and twenty miles
north OF Naples. If the Germans are not
able to use the railways and highways north
Of Rome and as a consequence cannot bring
supplies and men from the north, these de-
lenses will not long survive C1arks assault
and their further retreat would have to be
by way of Rome.
Vandals at heart and with their ruthlessness
increased by defeat, they will destroy what
they cannot possess.

Daily Prayer
FOR HOME-KEEPING HEARTS

Out of the travail of war Thou
has brought, o Lord, a new sense
of the sacredness of home. The
ties of love have been m d e
stronger and more precious be-
cause of separations and hardships.
May this Providence work a new
wonder in our national life. o Fa-
Their of us all so that all our
homes-the poorest, with their de-
privations, and the richest, with
heir vanities - may be purified
and ennobled a n made deeply
home-conscio Teach us gentler
manners and more sympathy one
for another. Forbid that we should
hurt those dearest to us by
thoughtless or lmkind words En-
able us to send to our absent boys
only words of cheer and courage
concerning home affairs. May the
homefront be the great heartener
and inspirer of the battle front.
Cause to burn more brightly the
fires of religion in our homes,
drawing us closer one another
and to Thee. Especially do we
pray that the little children may
escape wars hurts, and know only
its inspirations. This we pray in
the name of Thy only Son, reared
in a Workingmans home. Amen.

Trieste

With Split, Susak, Fiume, the Gorilla area
and Trieste under the fire of Yugoslav forces,
there is rapidly developing a new battle front
in southern Europe which bears all the ear
marks of major operation. OF the Yugo-
slav detectives, Trieste seems to have the
greatest strategic importance to the Allies
For centuries Trieste has been key city
in power struggles along the Adriatic for
trade and territorial advantages. An impor-
tant commercial center in the Middle Ages,
Trieste occupies hub position with relation
to sea and land commune ations. In war
time, it is especially significant as port
for traffic between central Europe and the
Mediterranean.
Trieste with quarter million inhabitants,
has picturesque sea-and-mountan setting
at the head of the Adriatic, northeast of
Venice. Rails lead from there to all the i'm
portant centers of northern Italy and be-
You'd, as well as into south-centra Europe
by several important natural routes.
One of these, through break in the noun
tains north of Trieste, runs to Austria's stra-
leSlC IOdu anu Idll Junction dt VludCQ. FROM
that junction other railway lines branch out
in various directions, crossing Austria into
Germany, occupied Czechoslovakia and Hun
gary.
The second and third railway approaches
to central Europe from Trieste are both by
way of northern Yugoslavia, many points of
which are reported already in the hands of
the Yugolsav guerrillas The northernmost
OF the two lines goes to Villach crossing the
tip of northwest Yugoslavia. The other pass
es through the Yugoslav region of Slovenia
to split into two sections, one Austria-b bound
and the other Hungary-bound.
The Yugoslavs will make a great contribu-
ton to the democracies in their war against
the tyrants, if they succeed in taking Trieste

QUOTATIONS

With the government ruling on war workers,
one strike, instead of the usual three, is liable
to mean out.
The U. S. Treasury says the average dollar

experience.
The bigger the War Bond, the more interest
you will have in it-later on.

Change In Attack

great and vitality important change has
been effected in the Allied attack on Japa
1ese strongholds in the Pacific. The Ne"
York Times writes Of it thus:
The japanese find their own tactics OF
infltration and outflankng, applied SO sue
cessfully on the ground IN the conquest
of their new empire, now turned against
them in the air. They are being rapidly
dislodged from strong positions on a scale
which steadily widens the field of their
reverses. Strongholds which would for
merlv have taken months merely to reach
are suddenly invested or attacked from
the rear by air-borne troops supported
and supplied from the air. A curtain OF
air power protects them from counter
attack while our own bombers range free
ly over enemy air bases to destroy or
immobilize the japanese planes. We have
newly destroyed go enemy planes and
sunk seven ships at WeWak.
Buna and Coma were taken only after
painful Jungle marches and long costly
frontal attacks. Even then. however, we
were learning to transport our heavy ar
tillery and some of our troops by air.
But Salamaua and Lac, surrounded from
the air, fell like ripe apples. Already AL
lied troops have reached Kaiapit, at the
head of the Markham valley and half
way to Madang, an enenyheld port 100
miles from Lac. We may be sure they
did not all get there on foot Meanwhile
our moose is closing around Finschshafen,
another so miles from Lac. 1t seems prob
able that we shall soon have the whole
Huon peninsula as a springboard for the
final assault on New Britain and Rabaul.
Thanks to our domination of the air, each
step we take, by land or sea, is longer
than the last.
