On Two Fronts

While Indictment weather slows down the
Allied advance on Rome and German engl-
neers are busy demolishing port installations
at Leghorn and Peshara, the RUSSIAN 'ussei
naut FORCES ahead in the Ukraine, imposing
definite threat to the last Nazi-held rail
center east of the Polish border
c1earlv this southern offensive of the Reds
;s nearing the end. The question uppermost
in most minds is not how soon it can be con-
cluded but what Germany's final losses IN
men and equipment will be. Ukraine vic
tory will not play as vital part IN the ultl-
mate defeat of the Germans if they are abe
to Withdraw the bulk of their forces for serv-
ire IN other fronts or salvage the greater
part of their equipment, in the production OF
which they are now under heavy handicap
as result of Allied bombings
And there is some chance that they Will
manage to get many of their divisions out.
The Nazi talent fol escape has been demon
strated time and time again Oil the Eastern
front, and nowhere more convincingly than
in the Crmea where the Russians once seemed
to have half million troops cornered but all
but ninety thousand got away and these are
not known to have been captured or slain.
This is cited, not to detract from the credit
due the Russians for their great counter
offensive, but to put the breaks on any pre-
disposition to believe that the Germans are
not still able to look out for themselves even
in such a retreat as they are conducting on
the Eastern front. Tkeir earlier offensive skill
is finding its counterpart in their skill in re-
treat.
In Italy, the showdown in the Allied attack
and the enemy demolition operations at Leg
horn and Peshawa are somewhat offset by
the air attacks on Bremen Pass communica-
tons. If the bombs have done all that is
claimed for them and the Germans are un-
able to transport more men and supplies by
this the only route open to them the divisions
facing Clark and Montgomery south of Rome
cannot long continue their stubborn defense
and will be in the same predicament as their
fellows in the Ukraine except that they will
have no land route for escape and must take
to the hills largely as individuals, not as Or
gained units or test their luck in the waters
to the east and the west with little hope of
success.

Wise PrecautiOn

Wrightsville Beach's Board of Aldermen has
taken wise precaution by perpetuating all
permanent dimout installations even though
small portion of the community is outside the
restricted coastal area. The military authori.
ties at Carolina Beach have also done well
by issuing similar order. The people of both
resorts will do as well for the security not
only of their communities but OF the entire
area by strictly observing the edicts
There is no positive proof that the enemy
will not attempt to bomb or shell the Atlantic
shore If only for the effect on the morale of
the inhabitants. Army men are not at all
sure that bombers or U-boats will not take
fling at coastal communities before the lights
go on all over the world. Obviously it is with
this in mind that the coastal dirnout has been
suspended only, not abandoned
There would be unnecessary risk in assum-
ing that no attack could be made The prob
ABILITY is slight, but still exists The danger
Is that any relaxation in observance of the
continuing rules at Wrightsville Beach and
carolina Beach might all too easily lead to
an attack. The need, therefore, is for COM
plete compliance with the orders until the
war has been brought to a successful end.
lhls IS no more necessary for regular resi-
oents than for casual visitors.

Check Over-Confidence

Both flreslde and sidewalk conversation CEN
tiers to large extent on the end of the war
IN Europe with the opinion widely held that
it will all be over by Christmas or at least
New Years day. Questioned, it appears those
holding it have bunch that Germany cannot
hold out much longer. Obviously, therefore,
it is chiefly wishful thinking, ana represents
the substance of things hoped for but not the
evidence of things not seen.
Altogether, the sentiment is unsafe for,
whereas the war could end as soon as many
believe it will if the German Army morale
collapsed or the people at home turned on
their military overlords, there is no sound
reason to think that either soldiers or popu-
iatlon are at the cracking point On the con-
trary, Allied military men, far better quail

lans, see no reason in the Russian successes,

The Chest Campaign

For some days, if you read the local papers,
you have been learning about the preliminary
activities connected with the Community Chest
and War Fund campaign-Eow, separate units
of workers have been organized and how the
money is to be divided among our own char
table organizations and for the relief of sui
fering peoples abroad.
Now, for the most part these preliminaries
are completed. The time of the campaign ap-
proaches. Next week your chance to do your
part will have arrived. Your office door will
be opened, your bell rung, to admit solicitor
who will tell you, if you don't already know,
the detectives and the needs, and invite you
to sign on the dotted line.
1t should not be necessary at this late date
to defend the Community Chest. In the initial
year OF its operation in Wilmington it proved
its right to continue. Through its administra-
ton the organizations listed among its bene-
ficiaries have enjoyed the most satisfactory
financial period in their existence They have
not had to worry where the next dollar would
come from, but with an assured income have
been enabled to conduct their helpful activities
on an expanding program, and have conse-
quently accomplished greater good. At the
same time, the general population previously
subjected to periodical money drives, have
had no second call, save from organizations,
the Red Cross for example, which because of
their exceptional set-up cannot operate a
prearranged budget, or for other reasons can
not participate in the Community Chest There
has been great relief for everybody in the
consolidated appeal The Community Chest
has made a permanent place for itself ir
Wilmington.
AS for the relief funds which are combined
with the Chest in this single solicitation, the
benefit to the public is as great as to the
agencies involved The same advantages en-
loved by the Chest extend to them as well
Next week, then, it behooves everybody tt
have an open purse or check book ready
when the solicitor arrives.

the destruction wrought by bombing raids,
the inevitable fall Of Rome or the decreasing
effectiveness of Killers Uboats, for the as
sumption that unconditional surrender is &C.
tually at hand. It can be clearly foreseen,
but to set an early date for it is to pave the
way for probable disappointment
Allied leaders declare the hardest fighting
of the war is still ahead. Far better to accept
their word for it and steel ourselves to its
sacrifices than take sudden and quick victory
for granted and have our hopes shattered.

Decline In Cotton

The outlook for cotton planters is not Sc
good. Last weeks decline is said to have de
pressed southern markets to a degree where
the average price is not far from the loar
level.
The New York Times Wall Street common
tator explains the situation thus.
For this reason it is considered Ike1v
that more and more of the staple from
this years crop will go into the loan. Pre-
viously, the price of the staple in the South
had held slightly above the loan level, with
the result that some Of the crop was being
sold by the farmers in the regular COM
mercial way However, in the week ended
on Oct. 80, the staple had begun to be
placed in the loan at rapid rate In that
period almost 100000 bales were entered
the largest for any weekly period since
early in the 1904 season. With the Gov
eminent, through its non-recourse loan pol
icy, standing ready to take all cotton Of
fered, the price of the staple cannot de-
cline much below present levels. Despite
the shortage of labor, mills are continuing
to operate at relatively high level, and
it will not be long before they will have
to bid against the loan for cotton.

corner and made to follow another nation
or any group OF nations to the detriment Of
its postwar opportunities or its authority in

deal in realities lest it find itself out OF the
