BEHIND HITLER S
RETALIATION

There may be vital implications in the
quickly launched retaliation raids Adolf
Hitler aimed at London the first night
after the RAF nad returned to Berlin.
70 realize these implications, it is nee
eSsary to consider what might have hap
pened had it been the Germans who raid
ed London Saturday night. instead of the
British who raided Berlin. We can specu-
late only ON the OASIS Of past perform
ance, but that performance has been
pretty well defined as general policy.
1t is probable that, had the Germans
raided London first, there would have
been no hurry-up RAF raid on Berlin the
next night There would have been a re-
taliatory raid later-perhaps much later
but it would have been planned long in
advance, prepared carefully, carried out
systematically.
The Germans couldn't wait. They had
to send their planes over London the next
night.
Why?
In tie answer may lie considerations
of grave Importance to the future of the
war. There are several possible answers.
One, of course, is that it is the general
policy of the Germans to hit back mmed-
lately when they have been Stung. That
explanation, while it may be partially
true, does not take INTO consideration all
the elements which make up modern war
fare.
A second explanation may be that the
Germans were attempting to bluff the
British into thinking they still have
enough planes to punish any aerial at
tacks on the German capital. This, too,
may be partially true, but it stands To
reason the Nazis must know that the Brit
ish will guage the new raids on London
against those of earlier in the war-and
know that the Luftwaffe is weakening.
A third is that the raids on London
were intended to convince the people at
home = the German people - that they
still have protection. If that is the case,
German public morale is on shaky
foundation which needs minute-to- minute
bolstering.
The probability is that all three raa-
sons contributed something to the Ger
man decision to raid London but that the
third reason was the deciding one
One thing is apparent. Hitler is no
longer operating his war on a timetable
basis He is operating day to day. He has
lost the initiative. May he never again

THINGS TO COME

witch, Jugoslav Chetnik leader-whether
he is friend or enemy of Adolf Hitler
seems to be largely the doing of Commu-
nists and Communist fellow travellers.
Mikrf ilovitch in his actions, has har-
ried Hitlers legions, has kept German
soldiers immobiized in Jugoslavia, has
timed his guerilla attacks to coincide with
Allied strategy.
Yet the Communist newspapers in this
country, and the Communist orators, call
him a secret ally of Hitler
The reason may foreshadow peace

for the Allied cause. 1t would be unfor-

to be sacrificed to opportunist diplomacy,

Maryland Gamers Need
High School Students

High School students now on va
cation are expected 30 provide
State packers a partial solution of
their manpower problem to process
the 100000 cases of food which
Maryland will produce this sum-
mer, Lawrence B. Fenneman, State
Director of the War Manpower
Commission said as the campaign
to secure the crop saving corps
was speeded up by demands last
week for immediate help by can
neries i'll Baltimore City and in the
counties.
Students who work in the can
neries are assured they will have
two advantages over those who
take other employment during the
school vacation period. The de-
mand for labor in the canncries
fiuctuates with the harvesting of
the crops, and at these off times
student workers may be free for
brief vacations and recreation
without affecting the production
program of the packers. They will
be a reserve pool, ready for call
when their help is needed. The rate
of pay will be in line with the
wages paid part time Or casual
workers in almost all other war
production since the canneries paw
fiat scales for production. Another
feature of the cannery jobs for
students in high school is that they
will be excused as individuals from
classes until after the peak can
ming season in August and Septem-
Der and early October will be given
every aid to catch up in their stud
les when released by the packing
plants. This was assured the Man
power Commission by State and
city education officials when plans
for the canning campaign were
inaugurated, Mr.. Fenneman, said.

BlackOut Regulations
Are Now State Law

Baltimore, June 21-Air raid
protection regulations governing
blackouts and alerts, practice or
actual, are now State law, w.
Frank Roberts, of the Maryland
Council of Defense, announced.
The regulations, essentially the
same as those promulgated by the
Third Service Command of the u.
S. Army last February, were
adopted by the Councils executive
committee and were filed with the
Court of Appeals and the Depart
ment of Legislative Reference sew
eral days ago, Mr.. Roberts said.
Under the Civilian Defense Act
passed by the Maryland Legisla-
ture, the adoption by the executive
committee of the Council and the
subsequent filing of the regulations
makes them law.
The Act provides for penalties
ranging up to $4,000 fine or a
year in Jail, or both for violations
of the blackout regulations.
The new regulations also pro-
vide that violators may be prose-
cuted by local magistrates or JUS
tees of the peace, which was not
possible before due to the absence
of a State law, Mr.. Roberts said.
Statewide unannounced test
blackouts and alerts are being
planned for the near future under
the new law, Mr.. Roberts said.

All Hay And Straw
Produced Will Be
Needed For Livestock

Save all hay and straw produced
this year to assure feed and bed
ding for what appears to be the
greatest number of dairy cattle and
other livestock ever fed in this
State. That is the advice of John
w. Magruder, specialist in agro-
nomy for the University of Mary
land extension service, who says
that freight charges for hay and
straw are relatively high compared
with grain, and should the product
tion of roughages locally be made
quate the price will, no doubt, be
high.
Delayed seeding of small grains
last fall because of wet weather,
along with some unusually cold
weather without sufficient snow
protection during the winter, has
resulted in many thin stands,
especially of barley, Mr.. Magruder
says. Bedding for livestock, he
points out, may be scarce because
of light straw yields. He advises
those harvesting small grains with
combines to endeavor to save the
straw, rather than let it remain on
the land. This will not only con-
serve straw, he says, but will avoid
injury to new hay seeding by
smothering.
Weather conditions caused more
than usual winter-killing Of alfalfa
and in some instances of the clov-
ers, Mr.. Magruder states, which
will be reflected in yield.
1t is pointed out that some farms
make it a practice to cut only as
much hay as can be stored in the
NOW space available, or the quanti-
ty generally consumed by the live
stock. Any hay grown in excess of
that amount is usually left unhar-
vested, particularly that which has
been allowed 10 become over-ripe,
or that is inferior because of many
weeds. Hay that has become bad
ly weather damaged in curing is
often left on the land. Under nor
NAL conditions, Mr.. Magruder says,
this is probably the best way to
dispose of these roughages. In
view of the great need for bedding
and feed, he states, this less de-
sirable hay should be stacked in the
field, if barn room is inadequate,
so that it may be available should
an emergency occur.

Figure It Out Yourself. How can
you effectively join in saving all the
little children of the world from hui
man slavery, death and injury from
the Nazis and Japanese? Put more
and more Of your pay into war
bonds every payday. Your savings
will go to war in the form Of war
equipment and other munitions. How
much more should you put into war
bonds? The only ones who can
answer that are-you and your fam
lily. It's up to you to decide just
how much more you'll do to win the
war.
If you were fighting in the Solo,
mons or in Africa or forcing a land
ing in Europe you'd like to feel that
the folks at home were back Of you
all the way-you'd be proud of
your family and your friends II you
knew they were buying war bonds
not at 10 per cent or is per cent,
but with every cent beyond that
which they need for necessities.
