Police Issue
Stern Worning

Police Chief Arthur I. Rosso
today warned proprietors of
taverns and cocktail bars that
any evidence supporting COM
plants that minors are being
served liquor in their establish
ments will result in swift pros
ecution and referral TO the State
Liquor Control Commission.
The chief said that an inves-
tigation Is being conducted at
the present time and stressed rae
responsibility of owners and
bartenders to ascertain the legal
age of their patrons. He cited
the fact that draft registration
cards present simple means Of
determining the status of boys
of doubtful age and that girls
must present unquestionable
evidence that they are of age
before bartenders may serve
them.
Were going to crack
down." Rosso said in warning
that he will give short shrift to
those seeking to excuse them
selves on the grounds that they
didn't think" the patron APP
peared as young as they may
have proved to be.
1T is their duty to know" he
said.

F. Held and Sheriff Jacob F.
Theut early this week issued

NORTH JAMESTOWN, R.

NORTH JAMESTOWN, r. L.,
Jan. l4-(P)-Four men held
up an unarmed army dispatch
rider at gunpoint last night,
thumbed through official dis
patcht carried in the glove de-
partment of his small truck,
then fled without taking any
thing, State Police Lieutenant
Joseph Marceau reported.
Marceau quoted the soldier,
Private Raymond L. Mosher, of
Springfield, Mass, as saying
that one of the men, after care
fully examining the papers, de-
clared
1T isn't here"
PUrPOSE VAGUE
There was no intimation of
what the men we're looking for.
The men returned the papers
: the soldier, told him not to
move, then drove away in a
small black sedan, Marceau re-
lated. He added:
All of the men wore caps.
Two had overcoats and two
wore mackinaws.
Mosher had slowed down at
an intersection when one of two
men who were visible beside the
road asked him If he could di-
rect them to Providence.
Hardly had they spoken when
another man appeared and
pointed a revolver or automatic
pistol at the soldier.
The armed man jumped into
the seat beside Mosher and or
dered him to drive to a secluded
lane about a mile away. The
others climbed into the back 70
the truck.
EXAMINE PAPERS
In the lonely lane, the men,
18th a fourth companion, rifled
through the papers.
AS they drove away, Mosher
attempted to note the registra-
ton number, but he said the Ii
cense plate apparently had been
covered with coat or cloth.

German Advances
In Synthetic Gas

We know that Germany has made
remarkable advances in the manu-
tacture Of synthetic gasoline and
oils. We know that some oil has
been retrieved from the Maikop oil
fields IN Russia, new ones developed
in Austria.
If Germany is not yet starved Of
gasoline and lubricants. if the Luft-
waite mas not really disappeared
from the earth. its absence from the
air may have another meaning. We
know that in spite of the heavy Ger
man losses in men and material in
Russia. Germany still has a large
and powerful army. Possibly owe
300 fully equipped divisions-trained
men.
1t is estimated that aside from
soldiers engaged in Russia and
North Africa. the garrisons in the
occupied countries, there must be a
striking mobile army Of a million
men and more. OF course. these
are estimates but they are not over
estimates. And besides this army
there is the vanished Luftwaffe.'
The assumption is that this great
army like the airforce is resting.
conserving and building up its
strength for one of two things: Ell
Their a long. last stand defense Of
the borders of the Reich or n
more powerful offensive.
Meanwhile, we know that every
day that Japan is allowed TO occupy
the rich possessions of her stolen
empire. she is nearer to the ex-
ploitation Of their resources, the de-
velopment of which will make her
stronger. And every day she is left

her silver bullets" among the less
loyal war-lord followers on the
fringe of Chang Kai-shek's central
army.
There are two factors which make
the road ahead a hard one-the pres
ent successful operation and the
rapid replacement Of the German
submarine lotilla and the probabili-
ty that Germany is holding back a
powerful army and air force either
for another telling blow or to de-
fend its strongly fortified terrain.
