Aerial War A Second Front

The ever-pounding aerial offensive against Axis
held Europe is reaching intensity that compels OBJ
servers to recognize that the strategy of bombing
enemy centers has created a second front.
These attacks make it clear that strategic bomb
ing will receive full trial and that effort is being
made to completely disrupt Axis industry and destroy
Axis defenses
Already, it is reported that the Germans are not
repairing major industrial establishments in the bomb
ing zones apparently transferring them to Southeast
ern Europe in effort to escape the bombers
During the month of May, the United States lost
II bobers operating against Europe from Great Brit
ain, and the British lost 228 aircraft
In the previous four months of the year, American
losses were only IS bombers, while British losses
were COL.
Thus, in May, the combined air force casualties
were 300 bombers compared to 686 in the first four
months of the year. This indicates the extent to
which the aerial offensive has been unleashed
While there is considerable speculation as to the
full fruits of aerial offensive, is certain that
terrific damage is being inflicted upon enemy industrial
centers.
The fact that our air forces accept the loss OF
300 planes in month"; together with the loss OF their
crews definitely indicates that in the opinion of our
high command, the bombing of Germany is expected
to produce astonishing results
While Europe was being plastered with explosives,
the Mediterranean islands and Italy visited daily
by heavy air fleets, often involving many as three
hundred planes.

Mussolini's Boast

On November 10, 1940 when German planes
rocking London with aerial attacks Bento Mussolini
advised his Italian subjects:
II have obtained the Fuehrers permission to di-
rect Italians in battle against Britain, with Italian
planes and submarines
Now, the situation is reversed Italy is feeling
the weight of Allied bombs and Anthony Eden pontedy
remarks that the British people have not forgotten
Mussolni's statement
There are millions of Italians, probably including
Mussolni, who wish they could forget his boast.

1000 Years Ahead!

One of the comparatively recent developments of
modern medicine is the discovery that diseased teeth
are the cause of ills which affect the human body in
many and various ways
It is interesting to learn that this theory was
clearly apparent in the diagnosis of court physician
to Assyran king in the first half of the seventh
century, B. C. While part of the tablet has been de-
stroyed, paragraph reads follows
"The inflammation wherewth his head his hands,
feet infamed is due to his teeth. His teeth
must be drawn it is on this account he is inaamed"
Whether the ancient medical man taking
shot in the dark or not tell, but certainly
his words indicate that he associated the nammatory
condition of the kings body with the condition of his
teeth Thus the unknown Assyrian anticipated modern
medical theory by some 1000 years.

Axis Talk

The hint comes from Berlin that the Germans
about ready to retaate against the British for the
bombing of German cities.
From Tokyo, via Berlin, comes the word that
the Japanese have brand battleship power
full than any American warship,
From other scattered of Axis-and there
comes various tall tales, predicting all kinds of mis-
fortunes for the United Nations and their fighting
men.
Well what is the Axis waiting for? The Russians
ready and the Americans and the British fast
getting down to the business of demonstrating how
to make war.
