This was another successful week
for Allied arms on both sides of the
world.
The conquest of Sicily was COM
pleted and Italy itself was sub
iected to intensive bombardment
by air, sea and land preliminary
to occupation either by invasion or
capitulation.
The Russian summer offensive
rolled on, with the prospect of
forcing a major German withdrawal
on the southern front by battering
down the final Nazi effort to halt
it in the pivotal area of Kharkov.
The Allied air war on Germany
and occupied western Europe
reached its most intensive phase,
designed to blast Germany out of
the skies and out of the war under
the might of the invading armies
to follow.
In the Pacific, Allied planes
dealt Japanese air strength in New
Guinea crippling blow in devas-
tating blows at the Wewak air.

"A task force of the Pacific fleet
has landed a force of United States
and Canadian troops on Kiska be-
ginning on August Is. No japanese
have been found. There were indi-
cations of recent hasty evacuation
of the Japanese garrison. Presum-
ably the heavy bombardments by
or ships and planes that have
been carried on for some time and
the danger to their supply lines by
our capture of Attu made the en-
envy positions on KiSka untenable
1t is not known how the japanese
got away but it is possible that en-
emy surface ships were able to
reach Kiska under cover of the
heavy fog that has been prevalent.
Since the air and surface bonn
bardmentS in the latter part OF July
had apparently destroyed japanese
radio equipment on Kiska the as
sumption was that they were not
in communication with the home
land Consequently no release of
Allied operations against Kiska has
been made since July 31st as it
would have conveyed information
to the enemy which he otherwise
would not have had.
This particularly applied to the
period during which transports
were in areas exposed to enemy
submarine attacks md while they
were unloading
HEAVY ACTION SEEN
Earlier reports from the confer
ence between Mr.. Roosevelt and
Prime Minister winston Churchill
had indicated that some action on
the japanese front could be expect
ed. Heavy naval and air action in
the Pacific against the japanese
fleet was believed to be one Of the
major military decisions reached at
the conference.
This did not mean there would be
any relaxation of the Anglo-Amer-
ican effort in Europe, but it was be-
coming increasingly evident that the
Pacific was near, if not at the top,
of the Agenda at the Citadel where
the President and Churchill are
meeting.
Russian demands to the contrary,
the conferees were believed to
have decided that the situation in
the Pacific is such that it will not

Coolidge Quartet
Continues Cycle
OF Brahms Music
By ALICE EvERSArAN.

The extraordinary genius of
Brahms again held sway at the
Library Of Congress last night, where
the Coolidge Quartet continued the
series Of Brahms chamber music
which has been in progress fo- the
past two weeks. Last nights pro-
gram called into service only vii.
liam Kroll, first violinist and Naoum
Benditsky. celiist, OF the ensemble,
who joined forces with Frank Sheri-
dan, pianist, for the opening num-
ber, the beautiful ''Trio in G Minor.
Op. 10l." Mr.. Kroll and Mr.. Sheri-
dan next performed the s'Sonata in
A Major, Op. l00," and with We'll
don WILDER, horn, the Trio in Z
Fiat Major, Op. 4o.'
These three works represent the
master sure of himself and his
style and the young composer still
struggling toward perfection. The
years did not quench the youthful
spirit of Brahms which responded
so completely to the charms Of
nature during . summers vaca-
ton in Thun that the piano trio
and the. sonata were the expression
Of his emotions. Although bearing
traces of the more compact develop
ment his style underwent through
the years, they are none the less
the outpouring of his heart in song.
Melody springs forth spontaneously
and scars In exquisite combinations
Of instrumental color In both works.
The duet for violin and cello in
the first movement of the Trio
In c Minor" the piano theme OF
the second and the quaint inter-
change between string and piano
in the third illustrate the mex
haustible quality OF. the composers
invention in this respect. The range
Of mood from the tempestuous to
the simplicity of folk tunes, the un-
abatable flow of inspiration and
sparkle Of changing rhythms makes
the trio one Of the gems Of Brahms
creations. The .1iexibihty of Mr..
Sheridan's playing and the grasp
Of the delicacy OF infection by all
three artists such as Is found in
the Presto and Andante empha-
sized every charm OF the compost
ton. Is.
Mr.. Krolps performance Of the
Sonata placed him In the first ranks
Of solo artists. The virility Of his
tone and the finesse, OF his execu-
ton formed q combination rarely
excelled while his sensitive response
to tie siTepressible ioyousness and
tenderness Of the work was marked
with skillfully applied shadings. In
this as in the Trio Mr.. Sheridan
complemented the violinist with \
piano portion rich in nuance and
subtle effects. Brahms, keen feel
ing for the blending of the piano
and string tones and for their con-
trasting powers finds fun play In
both the Sonata and the Trio.
In the Trio in E Fiat" the COM
poser gives prominence to his favor
lite instrument, the horn, with which
he had familiarized himself in his
youth. Written when the composer
was about 80 years old, 1t treats this
horn with loving care giving it pas
sages that bring forth the full, poie-
nant quality Of its tone and, at the
same time, the players virtuosity
in handling 1t. Mr.. WILDER Is q
master Of his instrument in the
smooth fiuericy Of delivery and the
surety Of his technical skill.
