Wednesday night the fourth raid on
Berlin in week occurred although de-
tails of the accomplishments were not
given. The attack followed Flying Fort
ress blows at Kiel and Flensburg, the
largest massed raids by the American
alrforce to date during which tens of
thousands of incendiaries were rained
down on the targets, leaving great sea
of flame when the raids were over. The
Flying Forts were unescorted and all but
SIX returned to their bases, after shoot

In the meantime, light bombers of the
British Air Force were attacking German

Thursday both day and night nonstop
assault continued and Berlin was raided
for the fifth time since May 13. Bremen,
Essen, many places in France and Bel
gium and other German centers felt the
growing might of Allied air strength.
Most of this recent raiding has been
done by small bombers with the excep-
ton of the attacks by Flying Fortresses.
Britains big four-engined bombers have
been on the ground during the week.
This has led to speculation that they
are being overhauled to ready them for
the great effort to smash Germany out
of the war by overwhelming air attack
which some observers have forecast.
falling which, the enemy at least will be
softened for the invasion of the con-
tinent.
A dispatch from Stockholm reported
that the Germans are putting great faith
in their defensive wall to foil any in
vasion, but they have little defense
against the invasion which is coming to
them in the skies high above their
ground Notifications. In the air war, the
Germans have had the entree. The main
course is about to be served.

Russian Front

The opening of a German offensive
against Russia, especially in the Cau-
casus area, is considered far less prob
able now, according to information
gathered in Turkey, which is keeping a
watchful eye on developments. Trav-
elers to Turkey from Germany and
German-occupied areas declare that
Germany is most concerned right now
with her plans to prevent an invasion
either across the Channel or into South
ern Europe. The suddeness of the Afri-
can collapse has brought a rush Of
troops into the Balkans, but these are
forces and not troops destined to cam
paign in Russia.
Despite these reports, the Germans

Nineteen planes, mere handful as
raiding goes these days, spread more
destruction in the Ruhr Valley Sunday
night than could have been accomplished
by a succession of heavy raids with thou
sands of tons of bombs dropped daily.
With the same niceness in selection of
targets which the British Air Command
has shown throughout the war, these 10
planes flew low over the Moline and Eder
Dams which control two-thirds of the
water supply of the Ruhr Valley, dropped
mines upstream from the dams and saw
the mines float down against the huge
walls of concrete, blast them open and
send devastating flood down the Ruhr
Valley which inundated at least 81 towns
and villages, destroyed hydroelectric
plants. washed away bridges, tore up
railroad tracks. made thousands homeless
and cut off not only electric power but
the actual supply of water for use of
industry and home. Back of the Moline
Dam, which Is on the Ruhr River, had
been impounded 13400O,000 tons of water.
The Eder Dam on the Eder River, which
flows into the Ruhr, had impounded 202,-
100000 tons.
This huge wall of water, released by
the mines, spread not only destruction
but CONSERVATION as well. Greatly dis
turbed by the attack the Germans are
reported to have shifted large numbers
Of antiaircraft guns and searchlights to
protect their other dams from attack.
The consequence is weakening of de-
fenses at other vital points.
The full story of what the flood has
done for the Allied cause has not been
told for the area devastated has been
placed in state of siege and no infor-
nation is permitted to leak out.
Berlin Is Bombed.
Many other bombers were over Ger
many Sunday night. Berlin and targets
in the Ruhr and the Rhine were blasted
in the fifth successive night of bombing.
Germany, in weak retaliation, raided
London in series OF one and two plane
forays which caused some damage in
the suburbs but which reached no OBJ

Pacific Front

Attu, stated Secretary of the Navy
Knox Friday night, is now back in
American hands with only small group
of japanese troops left on the island
and these pinned down along the shore
pockets. The end can come at any
moment. The airfield which the Japs
laboriously carved out of Attu's stony
soil is in the possession of the
American Army and Japanese-held
Kiska is now placed in jeopardy and,
whether retaken soon or not, left sty-
mied by the American forces on Attu
and Amchitka.
Japan, with this new threat to her
homeland, must spread her defenses thin
ly, covering all the way from Paramushiro
on the northern tip of the Kurelian
Islands to Burma and eastward to Wake
and the Gilbert Islands. Adding no grain
OF comfort to the Japs was President
Roosevelt's statement toward the end of
the week that the main part of American
naval and military strength is now in
the Pacific. That strength, as the Jap
high command knows to it's sorrow and
has admitted to its people, is growing
far faster than any pace which the Japs
can hope to attain.
Seeking to prevent further progress
OF the Allied forces in the campaign to
roll the Nipponese back out of the
Southwest Pacific, Japan has carried on
heavier -than-usual air campaign
against New Guinea. Sunday 100 planes
ralded Allied positions, but no serious
damage occurred. Wau, American base
near Salamaua, was the special target
and other attacks followed during the
week.
American raids continue all over the
Solomons area and at least two of Ja-
pans big airflelds on New Britain and
New Georgia are believed to have been
rendered useless.
The Nation was shocked during the
week when it was learned that the Japs
mad torpedoed an Australian hospital
ship which went down in 10 minutes
with fairly heavy casualties. The vessel,
the Centaur, was plainly marked with a
red cross and was brightly lighted OF
those aboard 268 were reported lost.
The Japs countered with claim that
Allied forces have sunk nine Jap hospital
ships

SIX Japanese ships including DESTROYER.

craft carrying on the softening process
until abatement of the monsoons permits
land action. Railroad yards and iunc-
tions in the area between Rangoon and
the upper reaches of the 1rrawady River
were bombed throughout the week.
From one end of the valley to the
other, stock piles, fuel depots and rail
facilities were hit, 100 tons of bombs
being dropped in one raid.

1T was only a little over year
ago that the Baruch committee first
brought order to the then confused
rubber situation" Schulz said. Its
report noted that America moves
on wheels and that, to keep essen
tial transportation rolling, an esti-
mated minimum requirement of
tire recapping would total approx
mately 25,O0O,0O0, of which number
it was thought that the existing
recapping facilities could produce a
total of not to exceed 10000 900
tires leaving some 100000 that
might be necessarily produced in
new tire factories utilizing new tire
molds.
1'But here, again, the capacity of
American business and industry
was underestimate because within
the past year existing facilities
have produced not only the antici-
pated $4,000, 900 but 100000 re-
caps and without resort, except In
a few isolated cases, to the new
tire facilities of the tire manufac-
turers."
South American rubber imports
are, at present, three times the
amount imported last year. This is
the studied observation of Robert
Ormond Case of the Reconstruction
Finance Corp, who made the an
nouncement following a tour of the
Amazon river basin where much of
the rubber is coming from.

menIal stage, tests Win the duOt-
tive in motor fuel indicate that
it may result in substantial saw
ings to the consuming public, par
ticularly after the war. At present
nearly all of the available quaint
ties of the material are being used
by the government A representa-
tive of the war production board
attended the meeting to tell of
some of the experiments conduct
ed by various government agencies
with the additive.
A plan to establish more effective
control over the return of unused
gasoline ration coupons for an esti-
mated 100000 vehicles in the United
States that change ownership each
month is announced by the office
of price administration.
The plan, which goes into opera
ton Jan. /, 1914, calls for close CO.
operation between state motor We
hicle departments, through which
applications for new vehicle regis
trations must be made, and war
price and rationing boards. A close
check will be made to see that out
standing gasoline coupons for a We
hicle to be sold are returned to the
ration board before the vehicle is
transferred.
Before selling his car, the present
owner will send or take any cou-
pons issued for the vehicle that
remain in his possession TO his ra-
ton board and obtain receipt in
duplicate. The original copy of the
receipt will be sent to the state
motor vehicle registration depart
ment with the new owners applica-
ton for registration. The purchaser
must use the duplicate of this re
ceipt when he applies to his ration
board for gasoline rations.
To aid in enforcement of gaso
line rationing, ct" coupons issued
for use in 1914 by commercial We
hicles and taxis will be in strips
rather than in book form and each
coupon win be serially numbered
/ the OIAiCS VI price dutlAAAlAoSA dlAOt
has announced.
The action also provides that cal
owners themselves rather than "a
ton boards or automobile registra
ton officials must note new licens'
numbers on their ration books ant
tire inspection records.
The "T'' strips, similar to strip
of motion picture tickets, are to b.

Service men returning from over
seas duty and on furlough from
fighting fronts may be allotted
more gasoline than the present 5
gallons allowed service men home
on leave.
Possibility for increased gas al
lotments for returned overseas
military and naval personnel was
seen in a letter from James For
restal, Undersecretary of the Navy,
to Congressman Beckworth of
Texas.
Beckworth had recommended to
the OPA that the 5-gailon allot-
ment be increased to 80 gallons,
but this proposal was turned down.
Beckworth reported that Forces
tai had informed him the war and
navy departments had requested
OPA to grant special gasoline allot-
ments up to a maximum of so gal
Ions for use by military and naval
personnel returning from overseas
duty.
1t was believed this request may
bear fruit and that an exception
to the present five-gallon rule may
be made for fighting men home
from overseas.
