III. ExPERIME NTS
IN new SOURCE
OF ALkAL0IDS

Experiments are being conducted in
the school of pharmacy at Montana
State University with what gives
promise of becoming an important
new source of valuable medicinal al
kaloids, used at narcotic anodynes.
The new source is a foreign plant
called Egyptian henbane or hyoscya-
mus muticus of the solonacea family.
It's native habitat is the Egyptian
highland, but so little is known about
it, according to Dean Charles e. F.
Mollett, that medical literature con-
tains no pictures of it and little in
formation. 1t has not been reported,
for Instance, whether the plant is an
nual or perennial. 1t has been de-
termined by Dean Mollett that the
Egyptian henbane has an annual

The first several experimental
plants to be grown in the university
drug garden, possibly the first to be
grown in the western hemisphere,
have been harvested by Dean Mollett

Indications are that the plant re-
lures reasonably hot days, cool
nights and plenty of moisture. Pre-

Seed for the experiment came from

Montana employees are $1S0,837

regional director of the Wage and

sary of the act which was passed in

men and women in back wages with

Misunderstanding of the law, failure
to recognize they were among the
covered industries or through wilful
intent.
The regional director stated that
from October 1888 to September of
this year, total of $50 industrial
establishments had been inspected in
Montana, of which 400 were found in

THE NAZI "RUNDBAU"
The phrase "Festung Europa" Eur
opean Fortress) designed by Nazi
propagandists to give the impression
that German Notifications in Europe
were impregnable to invasion, has not
appeared much lately in Nazi propa-
gnd output The term lost much of
its magic when the Allies invaded
Italy and received final blasting
when the President pointed out in his
message to congress that Adolf Hit
ler's European fortress" lacked a
roof.
A new Nazi propaganda term has
bobbed up, however, apparently as a
substitute for the dented "Festung
Europa" The term is "Rundbau"
(Circular Structure), which fits the
revised Axis geography of Europe
minus the leg of Italy and which
lends itself more conveniently to pos
sible military shrinkage.
The term "Rundbau" was used re-
Gently by a German writer, Heinz
Bongartz, in a series of articles ap-
pearing in the Berliner Lokalanzeiger.

field of the European 'Rundbau'

German people. ut is of secondary
where the new lines of
the German southern front in Italy
will be consolidated according to our
plans. Everything happening until

battles may be. The enemy will be

will seek his way northward only via
the Italian mainland or whether he
is prepared to attack the Balkans

IN SPITE OF MUD, THE REDS
CROSSED THE DNIEPER

In the spring of 1913, after the Ger
mans captured Kharkov, there was a
lull in the fighting, each side seemed
to take a breathing spell in order tc
regroup their forces for another push
1t was noted that both Hitler and
Stain were moving up fresh troops
to the front and it was gen rally ex
pected that Hitler was preparing for
his final summer drive. Gould the
Red Army but hold the front, it would
be considered good work, bit for it
to start gigantic summer offensive
of its own was simply prepostcrous,
so thought the wise guys.
Even before the Wehrmacht had
been stopped after a small break
through, the Reds opened offensives
both north and south of the German
drive which were generally consid-
cred diversions and turned out to be
but the forerunners of Stains plan
ned summer offensive, now on the
verge of wrecking Hitler's whole east
ern front.
1t seems like Stains strategy was
to let Hitler concentrate his strategic
reserves in one huge bulge thus weak
ening other points on the line of
which Stain took immediate advan-
tage along the whole eastern line in
starting his biggest offensive which
not even the mud was able to stop.
From the start of the summer Of
fensive, the Red army made an aver
age advance of from to miles per
day allowing for railroads and trans
portation facilities to be kept abreast
of the advance; and while the autumn
rains slowed up the advance, it like
wise checked the German retreat Civ
ing Hitler the fatal impression that
the Red advance would soon peter
out. Thus the Red Army stayed right
on the heels of the retreating Ger
mans.
Hitler went to sleep at the post
when he failed to shorten his front
line in the early summer just before
the Red drive, thus endangering near

EXIT YAHAGI

The Japanese Domei agency an
nounced recently that Maj. Gen. Ma
kao Yahagi had been relieved" of
his duties as official spokesman of
the Japanese army, with Col Shuitsu
Matsumura taking his place as chief
of the Army Press Section at Imperial
Japanese headquarters. Domei did
not mention any new assignment for
Yahagi, merely saying that he had
been transferred"
Yahagi is the third major Japanese
military spokesman to be dismissed
since last June. All three were
dropped after committing serious
propaganda blunders from the Japa-
nese point of view.
On June II Lieut. Col. Iwasaki lost
his post as 'chief of the information
bureau of Japanese expeditionary
forces in China" Iwasaki's accounts
of the Yangtze river campaign, which
endtd far from successfully for Japan,
were so glowing that the home front
was led to believe that the capture of
Chungking was imminent. He was
replaced by Lieut.. Col. Nishiga, whose
output admits that there
is still resistance in North China.
On July ID Captain Hideo Hiraide,
Japanese naval spokesman, lost his
job after propaganda career during
which he repeatedly "annihilatedp the
United tSates Navy, which always
came back to administer severe set
backs to the Japanese.
Yahagi has not only committed
of propaganda plumbers by
his over-optimistic assertions, but he
also ''lost face" when the Chinese gov
eminent rejected his appeal to Chung
king for peace on September a. After
Yahagi told the Chinese they could
still capitulate with honor" Chung

When the Japanese granted 'inde-
