stance. These amendments can there
after be either accepted or refused by
the Commons, but if they are rejected
the Lords usually give way. Thirdly,
it can inaugurate legislation itself
Although all controversial bills are
first introduced into the Commons, be-
cause it is there that the real fight must
take place, this is not true in the case
of non-controversial bills. These are
frequently introduced in the Lords as
there may be more time to discuss them
there. Thus the recent United States
of America (Visiting Forces) Act of 1912,
was first passed by the Lords and then
sent to the Commons. 1t is interesting
to compare the debates on this bill in
the two houses because that in the Lords
was both better informed and more
tactful than that in the Commons.
'oThe procedure in the House of Lords
is remarkable for its simplicity. The
Lord Chancellor presides on the Wool
sack, which is said to have been placed
in the Lords in the reign of Edward III
to remind the peers of the Importance of
the wool trade, but he has little power
to control the debate. This causes no
difficulty, however. as the atmosphere in
the Lords is not unlike that of we'll
conducted funeral A scene there is
almost unknown, for it would take an
exceptionally courageous man to break
its unwritten laws"
The Oxford professor says that from
time to time attempts have been made
to reform the House of Lords, but all
have failed. Such change might re-
quire a revision of the whole hereditary
system, and he reports that the English
position seems an eminently practical
one-that change might lead to COM
plicatlons.

European Front

Hammering away constantly, never
giving the German air force any rest,
Allied bombers spread ruin over many
German war industries during the past
week. Monday. in one of the heaviest
raids of the war, 1000 tons of bombs
were dropped on Duisburg as Germany S
most important inland port received its
59th visit of the war. During the day
mosquito bombers flew over many points
in Northwest Germany, the Rhineland
and Northern France to blast away at
German railroads, concentrating especi-
ally on the locomotives.
Down in the homeland of Hitler's
lesser partner, Mussolini, Flying Fort
resses bombed the Grosetto airf1eld about
80 miles northwest of Rome while United
States Liberators from the Middle East
dropped 250000 pounds of bombs on the
Bari airdrome along the southern Adri-
attic Coast.
Thursday, Naples and Messina were
bombed, attention being centered on
shipping facilities and power plants.
About the same time from England the
Raj hammered Wilhelmshaven, while
mines were thickly sown in the Baltic
Sea. Friday night heavy raid was
made on Essen.
Bad news for the Axis was the state
ment that Lightning fighters are now
being flown overseas, thus arriving ready
to be refueled and put into action, saving
delays and space involved in normal
transportation abroad by ship. -

African Front

Slowly advancing Allied armies on the
various fronts in Tunisia were tempo
rarily stopped toward the end of the
week when great concentrations of tanks
and guns were hurled at Gen. Anderson's
British 1st Army in counterattacks which
approached the extent of counter
offensive. However, the British, striking
back heavily, foiled all efforts after mo-
mentarily giving ground earlier in the
week.
The British 9th Army under Gen.
Montgomery, marking time for a few
days west of Enfidaville, closed the week
with terrific barrage which apparently
is the signal for new effort to advance
both along the coast toward the penin-
sula of Tunis and toward Tunis itself
On the northern front, 1t. Gen. Pat
tons American corps is moving slowly
forward, capturing two important hills
dominating the approach to Mateur,
which is only 1s miles from Bizerte Be-
tween Anderson and Montgomery, the
French are pushing forward toward Pont
du Fahs from where an excellent high
way leads toward Tunis.
One report places an American force
within 3 miles of Lake Achkel, one Of the
two lakes in the Bizerte area, on the
north shore of which is Ferryville, loca-
ton Of the naval base and arsenal.
Air activity during the week was not as
extensive as in the previous week, but
on Friday American flyers attacked
convoy near Cape Bon, raking cruiser,
leaving 1t afiame, and sank one and pos
sibly two destroyers.
A recapitulation OF Axis losses from
the first of the year through April IS,
made public last week, offers an ade-
quate explanation of the approaching
defeat of Won Arnim and Rommel. The
Axis lost $1,000 in prisoners, $50 tanks,
5000 motor vehicles, 425 guns and "a
ships sunk by land-based planes. At
least sl8 Axis planes were shot down in
combat and probably 278 more, while 586
were damaged and 586 were wrecked on
the ground during raids. To top it of
land-based planes bombed and sank II
submarines, many of which Germany is
reported concentrating in the Mediter-
ranean In anticipation of the Allied in
vasion across that sea.

Bait of WPB who said that this year
it is proposed to turn out 100000 planes,
doubling last years $4,000 output.
In the shipping situation, Secretary
OF the Navy Knox admitted that last
year 100000 more tons of ships were
sunk than were produced, but Admiral
Land, head of the Maritime Commits
sion added bit Of comfort by revealing
a proposed ship program this year which
contemplates the launching of 100000
tons, and further encouragement was
seen in statement by Admiral King
that great progress is being made in the
campaign against the German subma-
rines of which some four or five hundred
are now believed to be in the Atlantic.

There were some indications that the
summer offensive may be launched by
the Russians this year and within a
month rather than by the Nazis and es-
pecially will this be probable if an Allied
front is opened anywhere on the conti-
nent of Europe to force Hitler to divide
his dwindling forces.
That Germany fears the invasion may
be near was evidenced by renewal of
German reports that a large British
naval force accompanied by many trans
ports and landing barges had left Gibral-
tar and headed east into the Mediter-
ranean. Once before Germany made the
same claim but there was no confirma-

Russian Front

Heavy air fighting ragged all along the
Russian front last week and the artil-
lery attained new fury in the heavy
barrage of shells hurled back and forth
ecross the lines. There were definite in
dications Of big things to come down in
the Kuban Peninsula, where Russia was
reported massing large forces to drive the
Germans out Of this foothold In the
Caucasus region, where they stand as .
constant threat to Russia's oil supply.

There were many manifestations Of
Japanese nervousness at home and after
early in the week the Jap press warned
the nation that there might be new air
raids on Japan's home islands, the Of
f1cial radio emphasized the warning by
saying that undoubtedly there would be
new raids and the people must steel
themselves for the attacks by UNDER
standing that they were intended for
the effect on the people in the United
States so that they would forget the con-
fusion and disunity in American war in
dustries." What Americans won't forget
is the execution of the Toxic bombers
and the thousands of innocent Chinese

Europe notably was lacking. In fact, to
the contrary, Stain was high in his
praise of the destructive air raids over
Germany and Italy by Allied planes in
which Axis productivity has been badly
crippled and he complimented the Allies
for the success of the drive to rid North
Africa of the Axis armies. These factors
together with Russia's winter success
have placed Germany in sitical posi-
ton, he declared.
Another two or three powerful blows
from the west and east are needed, such
as that dealt to the Hitlerite army in the
past five or six months" he stated, "for
the catastrophe of Hitlerite Germany to
become an accomplished fact"

the outset by Russian break with the
Polish government in exile in London
over the execution of 10000 Polish off,
GERS near Smolensk. The Polish govern
ment accused the Russian Army of the
executions, but Moscow countered with
the statement that it was the Nazis who
the Polish government in exile in ac-
cusing the Russians was furthering Ger
man propaganda. Both the American
and the British governments are at
tempting to heal the rift, the only break
in the solidarity of the nations united
against the Axis.
A disturbing development of the week
and one which can have, if too long
continued, most serious effect on the
outcome of the war and the length of
the American casualty list from the
fighting fronts was the failure of the
United Mine Workers and the mine op-
orators to reach an agreement on con-
tract with the result that 100000 miners
failed to report for work after midnight
Friday when the old contract expired.
President Roosevelt, prior to the
aOdnQOnmeNI OF WOrk, lldQ warned JOnn
l.. Lewis, head of the UNIV, that If
the production of coal should be halted
he would use every power he possesses
as President and Commander in Chief
of the Army and Navy to see to it that
nothing shall occur which might cripple
the vital war industries. Price Admin
istrator Brown, also taking hand in
the situation because of the effect on
the efforts to control imitation which
would likely follow increased pay for
miners, promised the miners, and all the
rest of us, that he would slash food prices
which have gotten out of hand and that
he will carry on a vigorous campaign
against the black marketeers and the
chiselers.
When the miners failed to heed Presi-
dent Roosevelt's warning. the President
ordered Hard Fuel Administrator Ickes
to seize and operate the struck mines
and call on the Army for all the help
he might need to preserve order.

an underhand delivery to remain
in baseball and be a star.
Carl Mays had a sore arm
with the Portland club of the old
Northwest League in 1912, lost
10 straight. He could no longer
throw overland. Seeing Iron
Man McGinnity pitch for the Ia
