Red Troops
Strike Out
For Dnieper
By HENRY SHAPIRO
United Press Writer

MOSCOW - Red armies blasted
new gains all along the vast 400
mile southern front Thursday and
aimed developing offensives at
Poltsvs and Konotop, twin citadels
guarding the northeastern sp-
prosches to the Dnieper.
Front dispatches said Gen.
Philip Golikov. liberstor of Khar-
kov, already had sent one spear
head smashing 80 miles westward
toward Poltava in the heart Of
Ukraine and another even farther
to the northwsrd toward konotop.
whose capture would imperil the
German anchor posts at Orel and
Bryansk.
DRIVE DEEPER
To the south. other Russian
forces drove deeper into territory
around kramatorskaya held by
the axis since 1871, and further re-
duced the Nazi salient southwest
of Voroshilovgrad.
The midday Soviet communique
said a sudden Russian thrust near
Krsmatorskaya brought the cap
ture of the fourth town in this
sector in "A hours. The Soviets
captured 12O prisoners. four guns
and seven trench mortars.
In another sector around Krsma-
torskaya. 200 Germans were killed
and two tanks set sfire in a futile
axis eounterattack.
MAKE OTHER GAINS
A whole series" Of inhabited
localities fell TO the Russians south
and southwest Of Voroshilovgrac
during the past II hours. the mid
day communique said. Twenty
German tanks and two srmored
cars were destroyed and 500 Off
GERS and men killed.
The Russian drives from re-
captured Khsrkov were developing

But while the practical jokers' slant of delayed action warfare may be very skillfully handled, plotted, and camouflaged by the retreating Axis troops, Esquire points out that it is Hitler's bad luck that the German soldiers sense of humor cannot be ordered by law. General Wavell discovered that German military manuals ex- hort goose-steppers to have sense of humor, and point out that the ability to laugh was big facor in the Allied victory of 1918. One manual used an illustration of Bruce Bairnsfather's which show ed a Tommy sitting beside wall in which big hole had been blown. Old Bill was jerking his thumb at the hole and saying: "Mice done it." The pedantic German writer had appended footnote which ex- plained in the heavy Teutonic manner: "Mice did not make the hole. An artillery shell made it'' Quite a difference from the per sonality of the British Tommy who occupied a dugout at Tobruk. The dugout had wooden door on which the former Italian occupant had scrawled his name, Francesca" ;" The British Tommy who subsequ- ently occupied it had written in large letters in chalk, Bomb Hap py Villa. Knock before entering"
 In reconstructing the life of en- emy soldiers from their dugouts and the materials they leave be- hind, you are struck by the eter- nal pattern of the war, says Els quire. Basically, soldiers seem to be much the same, on both sides of the lines. Instead of photo graphs of British girls you find pictures of buxom German fraul- eins with blonde braids, or Latin girls with soft dark eyes. Instead of cans of American,or bottles of Australian beer, you find Italian wine or beer from Munich. Just as

SOLDIERS LEARN THE HARD WAY
 SAYS BOWEN IN ESQUIRE

Practical jokers seldom owe their success in civil life to their whimsical talents, but they certain ly can capitalize on them in the Army by plotting bigger and bet ter booby traps says Croswell Bo- wen, official photographer to an American volunteer ambulance unit, in his article, SOLDIERS LEARN THE HARD WAY in the October issue of Esquire.
 Pointing out that curiosity is the best bait for bOOby traps, as Am erican and British troops discover ed the hard way in the African campaign, Bowen tells the story of a British Tommy who saw chrom ium-plated thermos bottle glisten- ing in the desert sun. It was lying beside an enemy officers abandon ed dugout. British soldiers are is- sued cloth-covered metal bottles with which to carry water. A ther- mos bottle is the height of luxury in the desert, so he picked it up, and unscrewed the top to see if there was whiskey or water inside. His hands were blown off.
 It is the job of the Sappers, the Royal Engineers, Esquire points out, to examine the territory left by retreating enemy to see that the curiosity and love of getting something for nothing won't get too many conquering Allied sol diers blown to bits. But the de- feated enemy is sometimes even too crafty for the keen and expert eye of the Sapper. Esquire tells of billeting officer who discovered building and scanned the furnish ings with an appraising eye. It looked like a fine set-up for Gen eral Headquarters of the Officer Commanding and his staff. His aesthetic sensibilities were jared however, by a picture hanging askew. Fortunately he was alone, for when he strengthened the pie ture the building blew up.

 Put back that lamb chop soldier, unless you're sure you can eat it. And lay off throwing those park CT house rolls at the back of the mess sergeant's neck. It's waste ful. *:":. .. <. Food" says Claude A. Wickard, Secretary of Agriculture, twill win the war and write the peace" It is one of the most powerful weapons. Don't waste it.
 Waste in any form is dangerous. Food, clothing, equipment, bedding, water, heat and electrciity all cost time and money and the waste of any of them is a waste of time and money and an aid to the enemy.
 The Army campaigns against waste. Soldiers should take no more food than they can eat. Cooks must save fats and oils and conserve food in every way pos sible. Inductees are asked to wear reissued clothing, cheerfully. No one is going to be hungry and no one will be ill or cold but everyone must conserve everything in every way possible.
 Here are a few new Army con- servation tips:
 1. Turn in your clothes at the first sign of wear so that they may be repaired before they are worn out entirely.
 2. Take care of your equipment Don't lose it and don't abuse it.
 3. Don't smoke in bed. Fire is an entirely inexcusable form of waste. Guard your barracks against it.
 4. Conserve everything. Waste will lengthen the war.

the British soldier writes Charing Cross, Knightsbridge, Ellen, or V for victory on the walls of build ings, the German soldier marks the walls with Gretchen, Hofbrau or Heil Hitler.
