Experts did not Immediately agree on
the motive behind this raid. Some be-

This favorable overall picture of the

Quite the contrary
The japanese will fight to the bitter
end, even though they may realize that
their ultimate defeat is certain.
OF course, the picture in Europe would

The DNB dispatch, which was re-

that the figure included prisoners of

Fleet Ready in Pacific.

Grafton from India and Ceylon to RAN
COON and adjacent points would require
larger force than the Japanese have
In the area at present Moreover the
threat of an Allied fleet in the Gulf of
Bengal would compel the Japanese gen.
eral staff to dispatch to the gulf large
number of ships and planes
If the British can transfer their fleet
from the Mediterranean to the Indian
Ocean in the next few months they can
apply the first pincers movement against
Japan.
Admiral Chester W. Nimitz has large
number of warships in the Pacific. They
are divided between the Southeast Pa
cif1c Fleet Of Admiral William F. Halsey,
jr, and the various task forces in the
Central and Northern Pacific. What
proportion OF the bulk of the ever-in-
creas1ng United States Navy Admiral
Halsey has and what proportion Is op-
Grating in other areas is military secret.
But we can take it for granted that the
fleet in the Pacific Is ready for offensive
operations and is only awaiting the mo-
ment to strike with force.
Jap Losses Heavy.
Confronted with synchronized action
from the east and west, the Japs would
be placed in difficult position although
they may adopt strictly defensive STRAIT
egy. They have lost large part of

is questionable whether the Japs have
been able to replace more than so per
cent OF their transports.
1t is true that they have the advantage
of land bases for their planes But this
weapon, which aided them so much In
the earlier stages of the war, is no
longer as feared as it was in 1912.
The modern Allied warships can take
care of themselves with greater ease.
Moreover, the new American carriers
which far exceed in humber those of the
japanese, can efford protection to the
Navy which neither we nor the British

Russian Front

The Russian advance against the Ger
mans in the Ukraine is rolling along
steadily until the NaN retreat toward
the Dnieper has reached almost the
extent OF rout. Stalino, important in
dustrial center, has been recaptured by
the Red armies and the entire Donets
Basin has been cleared of the enemy.
Along 600-mile front from the Sea of
Azov to Smolensk, the Nazis are moving
backward, whether to shorten their lines
and withdraw troops to face the new
menace IN Italy or because of the over
whelming strength of the Russians could
not be accurately determined
The authoritative Russian paper
Pravda, commenting on the attack on
Italy and the surrender of the nation.
declared that the campaign was beauti-
fully timed and beautifully executed
Though Pravda did not say so, it was
evident that the new front has taken
considerable pressure off the Russians.
The Russian advance southwark
moved forward over wide area Monday,
reaching within 3 miles of Stalino. which
was burning. Penetrating the German
lines over the entire front in some cases
to depth of 9 miles, the Reds freed
about $50 villages from the invaders
bringing to 1900 the retaken towns in
the greatest week of Russian advance
The Reds claimed to have killed 5000
Germans in the days fighting. In the
north, rail junction IS miles south Of
Bryansk was captured and the i'm
portant center of Konotop was menaced.
Tuesday, Stalino came under fire Of
Russian guns and the Reds completed
recapture of the rich mining area in
the Donets Basin. In day of fighting
the Reds claimed to have killed another
10000 Germans and taken nearly 300
more towns and villages, though these
quests.
100000 Nazis Killed.
Lost in the tremendous news of the
Italian collapse Wednesday was the re-
capture Of Stalino. Berlin, admitting
the loss Of the city, declared that the
Nazi commander was shortening the
front, but Moscow declared that the city
had been outflanked. Recapitulating
the results OF fighting since July S, when
the present offensive began to roll, Mos
COW reported that 100000 Germans have
been killed, 100000 wounded and 80, 900
captured. At least 10000 square miles of
Russian territory, or roughly an area the
size OF South Carolina or Maine, have
been recaptured.
BY Friday, the Red armies had ap-
preached to within 80 miles of Kiev,
capital Of the Ukraine and center point
on the German defense line on the
Dnieper, and Konotop was In Russian
hands.
Down in the south, Mariupol, impor-
tant port on the Sea OF Azov lying SIS
miles west OF recaptured Taganrog, was
seized and the threat to the Nazis still
holding out on the Kuban Peninsula was
increased. In fact, the entire position
in the Crimea shortly may become un-
tenable

armies draws the pincers that much
closer together
And over in Toxic, TOTO must make
his plans to meet the new threat arising
out OF the release of naval strength
formerly necessary in the Mediterranean
to offset the Italian Navy In fact, he
may find it necessary to face units of
the Italian fleet itself. With his long
lines Of communication and tremendous
naval losses, he, like Hitler may find it
necessary to cede some territory.
AS the week got unGer way, the British
moved slowly forward from the Gala
brian Peninsula along both coasts but
the advance was slow, apparently serv-
ing largely as a screen for the an
nouncement that was to come Wednes-
day and the movement of Gen. Clarks
army toward the coast near Naples.
Looking ahead to the fighting to come
in the North, Allied planes struck heav-
lily at railyards and communication lines
IN the Naples area, inflicting consider
able damage Monday. Wednesday, a
heavy raid was made on the airf1elds in
the Foggia area which Is about opposite
Naples and short distance inland from
the Adriatic. The fields in German hands
were badly smashed although stiff oppo-
sition was met and II enemy fighters
were shot down. Other American and
British medium bombers famed out all
over Southern Italy, attacking airf1elds,
rail lines and highways. The freight
yards at Capua, north of Naples, were
bombed and the Viterbo airfield above
Rome was damaged.
BY Thursday the rumors were pouring
in like wildfire. The Germans were re-
ported to have called divisions in the
Verona and Trentino areas back into
Germany through Brenner Pass. Other
reports declared that the Allies had
made landings at Genoa, Leghorn, and
Ostia, the port of Rome. Nothing came
out officially to confirm any of these
rumors. In fact, quite to the contrary,
the Nazis swarmed all over the areas
listed and quickly disarmed the Italian
troops garrisoned in the various cities
OF Northern and Central Italy. Reports
were that the Germans have quarter of
a million troops in Italy.
AS the week closed, clashes between
Italian troops were recorded at Rome.
Trieste, Bozen, Cremona, Genoa, in the
Savoy region of France, at Reggie Gala
brla and at many other places where the
Nazls undertook to disarm the Italians.

opinion of Mrs. Mark Eldredge.
With her engineer husband an cleo

Mrs Eldredge will talk before the

in contribution toward the United

will be illustrated with recent Ian

by natives of India.
She will also take up many of
the items stressed in the little hand

United States Government to the
armed forces in India, with view
to acquainting them with India s
