 Rebuffed in the Caucasus and on the defensive in Africa, Hitler seems to be gambling everything on stopping supplies from reach ing the war fronts. As a result, sinkings during the early weeks of the winter have been among the worst of the war.
 This is partly because nights are long, and at night submarines cannot be seen from the air.
 Furthermore, Nazi methods of destruction have been so much irl- proved that ships go down within minutes, sometimes second, after the torpedo strikes. The War Shipping Administration has es- timated that the average time is now only four minutes.
 Apparently the Germans are using larger torpedOes, with a far greater explosive power. 1n- stead of knocking a hole in the side of a ship, they are blow ing the ship in two.
 This has the advantage of pre- venting detection of the submar- inc. It also has the effect of sharply increasing casualties among seamen.
 The British estimated that they lose one-third of every rew on a torpedoed ship. The Norwegians estimate a 40 per cent loss. U. S.. estimates are 35 per cent.
 THE END OF LIFE BOATS
 This method of sudden destruc- tion has outmoded the life boat, and its old-fashioned counterpart, the cork-filled life belt. A ship that goes down in four minutes

she wanted purely American program for the distinguished British visitors.
 However, when she looked over the program, she was dis- appointed to sec that Miss An- dersOn planned to sing exclusive several numbers from the classic concert repertoire.
 So, Mrs. Roosevelt tactfully suggested that this was to be 8 whOley American program, and asked if she would not sing some Negro spirituals.
 Miss Anderson did not seem to like the suggestion. She re- piled that all her music was In New York and it was too late to get 1t. Mrs. Roosevelt coun- tered with the proposal that the White House send an airplane to New York and bring the mu- sic in ample time.
 But Miss Anderson was most unenthusiastic. She raised the objection that the accompanist [. with her in Washington could not play spirituals. Mrs. Roose- welt in turn said that some of the best accompanies in the country lived in Washington, or a suit able one could be brought down at once from New York.
 Miss Anderson, however, still was not pleased. but finally, after Mrs. Roosevelt tactfully but firm ly held to her point, the noted singer agreed to sing some Negro spirituals for the King and Queen of England.

We hear considerable about artists;
 those who work with oils and water colors. We also hear quite bit about cartoonists. But it would seem that those important people that make maps do not come to our notice. Names of photographers do not come readily to our minds. The other day, however, we noticed in the obituary column the death of a photographer of distinction, Emil Herlin, with the New York Times since 1926. Personally we have profound respect for map makers. It looks like a tremendous task, the limning of cities, rivers, mountains; the spacing and the placing. It's easy enough to place Europe, Asia, Africa, the United States, and so on, but to trace each and every place the world over is something again. Since 1940 or thereabouCs MT. Herlln devoted himself entirely to map making showing the daily progress of the war: MT. Herlin was only thirty-eight years old at the time of his death the other day.

has no time for launching boats. In fact, many of the seamen don't even have time to get up on deck.
 Consequently, life-bOats are being discarded in favor of life rafts, which hang susTersc-. T:1s the side, and can be dropped at once by 8 single release from the bridge. Then the men who are lucky enough to be on deck when the torpedo strikes leap overheard and try to swim to a raft.
 The life belts are discarded be- cause they break too many arms. If a seaman, wearing life belt of hard cork, leaps 20 feet into the water, the belt flies up and wrenches his arms. Belts of a softer material such as kopek are being used instead.
 Shift from life-boats to life rafts was a slow process, because of shortage of materials When the War Shipping Adminlstra- tion was desperately trying to get rafts for merchant vessels, they found a whole warehouse full Of them in Brooklyn - but they be- longed to the Navy and were be- ing reserved for Naval vessels now under construction. The Navy de- clined to release them.
 There's limit to the number of sinkings a seaman can wealth CT, even though he may be phy- sically injured. The Public Health Service finds that many men who have gone through such OrdealS become mentally deranged and suffer hallucina- tiOns. They require a rest cure before going back to sea again. GREEK BOND DRIVE
 When news reels showed Speak CT Sam Rayburn buying bond from Steve Vasilikas, the Greek peanut vendor at the White House, it was Sam and Steve who got the publicity but it was & very significant group of American citizens who planned the thing the Order of Ahepa.
 The Ahepa is an organization of Americans of Greek descent. And although most Americans of foreign descent havs been patrio- otic, those from Greece, a coun- try which has suffered probably more than any other, have been intensely so.
 Ahepa was among the first to lead the crusade for natur- alization to denOunee peFsecu- ton of the Jews by Hitler. and among the first tO urge universal military service for all all youth.
 At present, Ahepa is staging a nationwide drive to raise s50.- 100000 in war bonds from Creek Americans. Ahepa's progressive President George Vournas Is mak- ing . tour of the country push- ing the sale. while Ensign Chris Petrow. UsNR. is making simul' taneous tour.
 The campaign is not only tc sell bonds but to bring home tc Issues at stake and make people realize more than ever that thii Is "our" war and its financing "ouF" problem.

advanced the idea that as a last
resort Hitler would release germ
warfare
let me quiet any apprehenslons
that may exist aoou, this on the
authority Of Colonel Leon A. Fox,
Of the Medical Corps Of the United
States Army
There are three ways that germs
can be spread so as TO infect an
opposing army One is by infect
ing water supplies and food sup
plies One is by dropping them
from airplares onto the ground.
And one is Dy injecting animals,
such as rats, and looSlng them III
enemy territory.
Not Practical
None. however, is practical. We
have a sanitary corps and the
water furnished troops Is boiled
or treated, the food is treated be
fore II is u ed. Even II this didn't
happen, the most likely germs that
could be used to infect water sup
plies and food are typhoid fever
and dysentery, and our troops are
immunized against them. And IL
you members Of the civilian popu-
latlon VINO are afraid of bacterial
warfare have not also been Immu-
nized at least against typhoid.
advise you to go and do so at once.
Alr-spread infection has sew
eral difficulties. First, and most
important. is that the wind might
shift and bring the germs that are
intended for the enemy back on
those who released them. Second,
the most likely germs 10 use are
first, influenza, and We are not
sure We know what that germ is,
and second, pneumonia, and the
air IS so full Of pneumonia germs
anyway that We couldn't PIT, many
more in. Besides we can cure
pneumonia almost 100 per cent
with the sulfa drugs.
BubOnic Plague
The idea of releasing an army
of infected rodents is not 50 terri
by impossible. The disease that
would be most feasible to infect
these with would be bubonic
plague. But. again, it is a little
difficult TO predict which way the
rats would run. The chances are
that they would infect the rest Of
the rat population before they en-
dangefed the human population.
And again, there is our sanitary
corps who in the presence Of such
an event would get busy and elm
innate the rat population.
Epidemics have done great dam
age and had great influence on
wars before this. Thucydides as
cri0es the termination Of the Pelo-
ponesian War to the plague Of
Athens.
Typhoid fever nearly broke up
our Spanish war. Dysentery near
ly disrupted the Union forces in
the Civil War.
But all this was before the days
of modern sanitation and the mod
ern science OF bacteriology. The
possibilities that such a weapon
could be brought into play now IS
so remote that we can with all
cheerfulness dismiss it.
