But the correspondent philosopher
paused to analyze.
He said: You have heard that
one thing that greatly improved the
morale in the Russian army was
making the officers supreme and re-
moving the authority of the COM
missars which were originally
placed at their elbows. You know
the Russian officers could make no
move without the okay of the COM
missar and yet the officer was re-
sponsible If anything went wrong.
Now. the officer has the final word

had military training have become
officers.

The Test In Russia

The heavy fighting continues in Russia, with the
Red army making substantial gains. but it might be
good idea to remember that what was true when the
German army advancing remains the truth today.
When the Nazs were going forward into Russia,
pointed out that the of the German often
sve could not be determined by the land occupied
1t would have to be measured by the damage inflicted
upon the Russian army.
Now, the converse iS equally correct. The Soviet
drive has reoccupied land that the Russians desired
but the test of the Russian campaign is to be
ured by the damage inflicted upon Hitlers armed
forces.

Running Out OF Our Ears

Major General Levin H. Campbell, Jr., chief of
Army Ordnance, says that American ordnance output
has attained the point where power is running out
of our ears"
This is good news to Americans. It emphasizes
the vast strides that this nation has made in the pro-
duction of the tools of war. It means that are,
in fact the arsenal of democracy.
The general also says that tests of captured
enemy weapons show that '.item for item, shell for
shell, bomb for bomb, ours superior" The Ger
man 8S-millimeter guns, used effectively by Marshal
Rommel are inferior to 90-milmeter gun in every
respect.

Common Sense

The President of the United States, it appears, is
reserving unto himself, and his appointed military
and naval advisers, the final decision to where and
how American forces shall be used against the Axis
nations.
This seems to be nothing but sound common sense.
Certainly, there is justification for the thought
that should permit Mr. Winston Churchill Joseph
Stain, Chang Kai-shek to out-vote a Board
Of Strategy.

Lashing out from firmly estab-
lished bridgeheads north of the
Volturno, the Fifth army pressed
the Germans steadily back from
their primary barricade across the
road to Rome
To the northeast the Allies
knocked new gaps in the enemy
line across Italy. They captured
VinchiatIro and Campobasso, major
supply bases in the center of the
line, as well as Amorosi, Cerrapo,
CretO, and Ciazzo. The loss of these
towns left the German positions
dangling at the mercy of the AL
lies.
The position of Lieut.. Gen. Mark
w. Clarks Fifth army was describ-
ed officially as satisfactory. But
the Germans still held some high
ground on the Volturno front, and
their artillery fire was trouble
some.
IN FAVOR OF ALLrS
The fact, however. that they
were showing signs ca breaking off
the action meant that the battle
had gone in favor of the Allies and
they had secured a springboard for
the push on Rome.
AS the Germans withdrew at
points. they used their customary
tactics of spreading mines in great
profusion. Thy also maintained a
fairly strong barrage over the river
crossings, in futile efforts to pre-
vent enlargements of the Allied
bridgeheads.
Engineers were busy along the
northern banks of the Volturno
searching out and deadening the
German mines.
Anglo-American forces improved
their positions north of the Vol
