MlSSED THE BOAT?

There are many of the opinion that
the Allies "have missed the boat" in al
glowing the Germans to establish them
:selves so firmly in Italy after the capi-
.tulation.
If the truth of the matter were known
it was probably because the Allies were
mot ready to take advantage of an Italian
surrender and did not have strong enough
forces deployed in such a manner as to
march in swiftly and take over in toto.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill of
Great Britain revealed in his war review
to the House of Commons that the war
in Italy may be regarded as a third
:front" and not the long-awaited second
front"
When the second front" is initiated it
will be an. all-out drive to finish off the
.Nazis in one coordinated effort and will
not consist of number of minor inva-
,,sions such as the Sicily affair.
1t is impossible to say that the Italian
surrender was totally unexpected but it
probably was not counted upon to hap
pen until larger forces had been poised
ito throw against the Axis.

DRAFTING FATHERS
(Christian Science Monitor)

President Roosevelt's reported deter
mination to support the drafting of faith
ers may run into stormy seas. Although
it is presently backed by the develop
ments at Salerno, there are increasing in
dications that many Americans want
more evidence that manpower is not be-
ing wasted and that the Army cannot
use more older men and those with some
slight disability in noncombat posts.
The Gallup Poll now shows 6S per cent
in favor of drafting single men from war
industries before taking fathers. And
in Fort Custer, Mich, Harry A. Barany
took his four and siX-year-old daughters
to the induction center with him because
ne said their mother had deserted them
and he had no place to leave them while
he was in the army. He was given brief
furlough to make arrangements.
Thousands of fathers face only less
dramatically difficult problems. Even
so, if it were clear that drafting fathers
is essential to the war effort, few Amer
leans would object. But millions remain
to be convinced and the President will
require new evidence and great candor
if he is to do so in his prospective state

Enemy opposition that might

An air ministry communique an
nounced that 80 bombers were lost
in that raid and subsidiary attacks
on the railroad junction of Aachen,
in western Germany near the
Dutch and Belgian borders, and
Darmstadt, 20 miles south of
Frankfurt.
Striking in the wake of American
Flying Fortresses and other Allied
bombers that raided Nantes naval
base in France and more than 4
dozen other targets in western
Europe yesterday, the British night
raiders dropped torrent of ex-
plosives on the twin cities that
span the Rhine southwest of
Frankfurt.
MANY BIG FIRES
Huge fires were left burning
among factories turning out tanks,
guns, ammunition, and chemicals
vital to the German war effort.
Mannheim LudWigshafen is the
site of 13 motor vehicles plants now
converted to war use, 10 chemical
plants including several of the l..
G.. Farben combine, and two rail-
way freight yards.
A German Transocean broadcast
heard here acknowledged that the
raid caused widespread destruction,
especially in the old part of the
| twin cities. There were a number
of civilian casualties the broadcast
said 1t added that 30 bombers
were shot down.
The raid was the 59th of the war
on Mannheim LudWigshafen, the
last previous one being on the
night of Sept. 5, when 1900 tons of
bombs were dropped.
The procession of bombers setting
out for last nights attacks on
Germany took more than an hour
to cross the English southeast
coast. Watchers said some forma-
tions dropped their explosives on
Hitler's west wall defenses on the
French Atlantic coast, though this
was not confirmed by the air
ministry.
HEAVY ACK-ACK
Heavy German anti-aircraft fire
was reported between Dunkirk, and
Calais and terrific explosions shook
| the English coast. One bomber
formation was described as the big
gest ever seen passing over the
coast.
The attacks on Darmstadt and
Aachen appeared to be diversionary
raids designed to confuse enemy
defenses.
Mosquito bombers joined in the
nights operations with patrols
over Germany and France. Two
twin-engined Messerchmitts were
shot down at west Germany air.
field by one Canadian squadron
and two other enemy planes were
destroyed elsewhere.
Twenty-four enemy planes were
shot down in the "a hours ending
late yesterday. Nearly $500 tons of
bombs were dropped on Europe
during the day.
MAKE TWO RAIDS
Flying Fortresses made their Sec
ond raid of the day on Nantes,
enemy-operated French port, late
yesterday while other Allied planes
swept northern France, hitting at
airdromes. Nearly 100 enemy fight
ers tried to protect the airfield
at Bauvaistilol but were driven off
by Spitfires.

MUSSOLINI OFFICIALLY
IS PUPPET RULER

Benito Mussolini this week became Of
ficially what he had been unofficially
for long time-Hitler's puppet ruler in
Italy.
Thus the former boastful Fascist blow
hard took his place with Norway's Quis-
ling and all the other traitors in conquer
ed countries who have sold out their peo-
pie and pledged to rule for the German
leader.
Premier and foreign minister of the
new Nazi-supported Fascist government
in Italy were the titles bestowed upon
the aged and faltering eX-leader of the
black shirts after his liberation from i'm
prisonment by Marshal Badoglio.
For long time Mussolini has been on
sthe downward path both physically and
mentally. AS Italian arms suffered de-
feat after defeat he lost his followers
Through internal dissention. This was
FINALLY eliminated when he was forced
TO resign from his positions in the Italian
government and Marshal Badoglio was
appointed by King Victor Emmanuel to
slead the nation out of the profitless
Struggle which the Duce had entered at
the side of his German side-kick.
Reliable reports from the natives at
.one place where Mussolini was held after
she was deposed said that his sanity was
almost gone.
Then Hitler sent parachute troops to
rescue the failing ex-socialist, whom he
had kept in power by unvoiced threats for
-many months, before he could be turned
-over to the Allies
Now, broken in spirit, and evidently
from pictures radioed out of Germany,
Broken in health, the Duce is premier
again.
But Allied armies have invaded Italy
ssand it is now merely question of time
before Mussolini will be out of a job
again. And this time permanently.
