FOUR POWERS:
Map Ne,v World

Meeting in the Near East, the
big Four" of the Allied powers
plotted the destruction of the Axis,
with the provision that all territory
overrun by the enemy must be re-
turned to the subject people.
For Germany and her small al
lies, President Roosevelt, Premier
Stain and Prime Minister Churchill
drew up an ultimatum demanding
unconditional surrender or else VOW
ing the enemy's destructive defeat.
Administration of reoccupied terri
tory along the pattern of joint CO.
operation employed in Italy also was
formulated in accordance with prin-
ciples of the Moscow conference.
Conferring with Chang Kai-shek
in the shadow of Egypt's pyramids,
President Roosevelt and Prime Min
lister Churchill agreed upon uncondi-
tional surrender for Japan, with res
toration of Manchuria, Formosa and
parts of China proper to Kai-shek's
government, and return of all other
territory occupied since Pearl Har-
Dor.

RUSSIA:
Fight for Ukraine

Having stopped the Russian tide,
German troops struggled to roll it
back again in the priced Ukraine,
long the apple of Hitler's eye in the
east.
Its top soil rich for farming, the
bowels of its earth full of essential
minerals and ore, the Nazis followed
their early capture of the Ukraine
by vast resettlement projects.
Squeezed out of the eastern portions
of the province, they tried to cling
to the western.
Having pulled 10000 troops out of
the Gomel bulge, the Nazis also
slowed the Reds drive in the north.
All along the 1900 mile front, in
clement weather made mush of the
terrain, complicating transportation
problems already made difficult by
the two sides disruption of rail
facilities.

near as effective as modern treat
ment.
The army estimates that 80 to 80
per cent of the wounded get first-aid
treatment within an hour of being
wounded. Ships are well equipped,
the larger ones as well as hospital.
The man with not too serious
wound, and that is by far the ma
jority of cases Computations are in
cluded), has a splendid chance for
recovery and resumption of his
natural existence in civil life when
he is discharged.
In two categories this war has
been harsher than any preceding.
There is a greater proportion of
killed in action to wounded. Also the
mental casualties are higher in the
present war.
Careful efforts have been made to
screen out those showing character
istics indicating they are unable to
stand up under the mental strain
of modern warfare. More might
have been held out of service if the
psychiatrists had been able to carry
out their plans. They would have
been able to do so if there had been
as thorough an understanding of that
branch of medical science as there
will be after the war. And because
of that fact, more of the mental
cases will be restored to normal.
The reason for the increased num-
Der of mental cases is variously ex-
planned: our troops have endured
longer periods of offensive action
than in the last war; the increased
fury of modern warfare; the domi-
nation of the machine, and also, to
some degree, the complications Of
civilian life which encourage neu-
rotic conditions.
The science of warfare has moved
forward with seven-league boots.
Killing has become a mass produc-
ton affair. But along with the char
lot of Mars, Mercury has advanced
on winged feet and the healing arts
have progressed to the point where
for those who escape the scythe of
the grim reaper there is a strong,
helping hand along the road back.

ITALY:
Crack Winter Line

Striking at both ends of the Nazis'
winter line in southern Italy, the AL
lies made deep penetrations in their
drive to Rome. To avoid giving up
any billeting or other facilities, the
Germans dynamited towns in the Al
lies path.
The smash against the Nazis' de-
lenses began with the Eighth army's
assault on the enemy's billy posts
overlooking the Sangro river.
Aided by swarms of Allied fighter
bombers and massed artillery which
laid down a carpet of fire on the
Germans ground, U. S. and British
troops pushed forward for gains
which were measured in miles.
To Offset the Allies charge, it was
reported that Nazi Rommel rushed
reinforcementS to the battle zone.

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:
Aussies Gain

Moving to cut off supply sources
feeding embattled Japanese troops
to the south, U. S. Liberator bomb
ers flew in force to the enemy's big
base of Wewak to dump tons of ex-
plosives.
To the south, Australian troops
slowly picked their way through jun
gle up the northeastern coast of New
Guinea, isolating strong Jap out
posts on inland paths. Disruption of
communications would cripple enc
my resistance at these points while
the Allied forces worked toward
main points.
On Bougainville, U. S. troops were
held to short gains by stubborn Japs,
entrenched in strong Notifications
behind jungle foliage. U. S. ad-
vances resulted from careful
squirming through the dense brush.
Bloody Action
The single bloodiest action of U. S..
forces in the war thus far was the
capture of the Gilberts, where the
Yanks suffered 1922 casualties.
Fiercest fighting was on Tarawa,
where 1,026 marines and doughboys
were killed and 2,577 wounded,
charging the Japs' steel and palm
logged Notifications. Losses at the
other little islets totaled &c dead and
1913 wounded.
Gilberts' casualties compared with
3,767 suffered on Guadalcanal, and
the 3, 497 during the struggle for the
Salerno beachhead. Jap losses in
the Gilberts were estimated at $500.

CroUned Heads

After the last war, some POLITICALLY
minded writer penned an editorial
which had wide circulation entitled:
"The Twilight of the Kings" Many
a throne had tumbled as a result Of
that last conflict, names that were
written large in history, faded until
they we're less than memories-Ho-
henzollern, Hapsburg, Romanoff, not
to mention host of lesser majesties.
But some who survived are to-
day problems of the United Nations,
like plebiscites, famine, frontiers,
lend-lease, airways and a thousand
other annoying questions that must
be settled when peace comes.
Of course, kings are not to be
shrugged away lightly. Some of
Americas best friends are kings.
But there are crowned heads who
are bound to be headaches for the
uncrowned brows of the statesmen
who have to put the world together
again.
There is the House of Savoy, for
instance. The king of Italy has been
