FATE Of Sicily
May Be Sealed
lin 48 Hours
Decisive Armored
Bottle Believed
Due to Begin
BY HARRISON SALISBURY

LONDON, July Is - U.p) -
The fate Of Sicily is likely to be
decided by an armored battle
which may break out within 46
hours.
The early allied repo- ) on the
invasion said the Axis had not
committed its mobile reserve
striking force, which was be-
lieved to comprise possibly one
German panzer division and
several Italian armored brigades.
II and when the allies crush
the axis mobile forces, il is be-
lieved the battle of E lily will
be over 70 all intents and pur-
poses.
Allied communicates and re-
ports from correspondents did
not specify the whereabouts Of
the axis mobile forces. From
the topography of the island, it
was believed likely they were
being held in the vicinity Of
Caltanissetta. about 30 miles
north OF Licata
QUICK TRANSIT
Caltanissetta is linked by Sic
ily's only east-west railroad 10
Catania on the east coast. which
makes possible quick transfer
OF axis armor between threat
ened points on the south and
east coasts.
Axis as we'll as allied reports
make little or no mention of al
lied armo.ed forces. which sug-
gests that the allied high COM
mand may be holding off arm
ored units in order t. land them
in whatever locality the Ger
mans commit their pTnzcrs 10
fight.
One OF the most likely arm
ored backgrounds would be the
plain of Licata lying north of
Licata and Celia where the
Americans established a beach
head. The only other relatively
flat terrain where armor could
maneuver with ease is the plain
of Catania Just west OF that big
east coast port.

What makes your heart 50 thumpyf
HOW is 1t you. so biz and stronR,
Can be so very 3umpy7
Dear me, what lot of things can
happen from one small beginninsl
You drop a stone in q pond and at
once start lot Of little waves In
the shape Of rings that travel and
travel and grow bigger and bigger
until at last they reach the shore
and once more the pond is quiet
and smooth. That stone is a little
thing Of no account in itself, but
the ripples it starts cover the whole
pond. 1t is Just that way in life
You never can tell what you are
starting or where it will end. 1t is
whole lot like row of blocks. You
push the first one so that 1t falls
against the second one, and the
second one falls against the third,
and so on until the whole row has
fallen.
1t was just like that when a mis-
chievous wandering Little Breeze
found Farmer Browns Boy sitting
half hidden on the bank Of the pond
of Paddy the Beaver and carried the
smell of him out to tickle the nose
of Buster Bear, who was having a
bath and a beautiful time as well
swimming about in Paddy's pond.
Now wasn't that a simple thing to
do? Wasn't it. Yet see what hap
pened. One minute the pond lay
quiet and peaceful in the heart Of
the Green Forest with Buster Bear
lazily swimming about happy and
contented, and the next minute
Buster was plunging for the shore
In great fright, Paddy the Beaver
was diving for his life, the air was
filled with quacking ducks trying to
get out of Busters way, and excite
ment and fear had taken the place
Of quietness and peace, all on ac-
count Of that mischievous wander
ing Little Breeze.
Poor Buster Bear! When at last
he stopped running and had listened
and listened and shifted and smiled
until he was sure that Farmer
Browns Boy was no longer near
him his heart was still thumpy and
his nerves were jumpy. terribly
jumpy. What day it had been!
First, he had found the storehouse
of Busy Bee, and In spite Of the
stings of Busy Bee and her COM
rades had been perfectly happy as
he greedily feasted on the honey
which the bees worked so hard to
make and which is the one thing in
all the Great World which Buster
likes best. Then had come a yell
from Farmer Browns Boy which
had frightened him so that he had
simply let 60 and dropped from that
tree clear to the ground, covering
himself with bumps, but worse still
having to leave half that delicious
honey. After this he had gone to
the pond of Paddy the Beaver, and
In the comfort of peaceful swim
had almost forgotten the fright he
had had, when along came that
wandering Little Breeze and brought
him that dreaded man-smell and
once more he had to take to his
heels.
Now you know, and I know, that
Farmer Browns Boy had had nc
idea Of seeing Buster Bear again
when he went to the pond Of Paddy
the Beaver. He had gone there for
the very same reason that little
later Buster had gone thereto get

cool, wet mud to take out the smarts

cool, wet mud to take out the smarts
from the stings Of the bees. But
Buster didn't know this. He was sure
that Farmer Browns Boy had fol-
lowed him. There wasn't the least
doubt Of 1t in Busters mind. And the
fact that Farmer Browns Boy had
surprised him twice In one day quite
upset Buster Bear. 1t destroyed all
confidence in himself. It gave him
the feeling that he couldn't get
away from Farmer Browns Boy. He
never had been so uneasy in all his
life. He couldn't sit still. No place
in the Green Forest seemed lone
some enough. His nerves jumped
at every little sound. He more than
half expected to see Farmer Browns
Boy step out from behind each big
tree or brush pile or rock which he
approached. So all the rest Of that
afternoon Buster wandered about
from place to place listening, sniff
flng, ready to run at the first suspi-
cious sound. Fear, foolish fear, had
taken complete possession of Buster
Bear. His heart was thumpy and
his nerves were jumpy. Poor Buster
Bear.

Take Ny Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY,
Toxic.

OhlUs
Until about 1868, the capital Of
Japan was known as Yedo. In the
revolution of 1878, the ruling
shoguns were ousted and the En-
peror was restored to power. Yedo
then was changed to Toxic, "the
eastern capital" Do not say TOE
kee-oh." The name has two syl-
tables, thus: TOE-kyoe.
Much has been said and written
about Japan's cities of paper and
bamboo houses" and of their vul-
nerability to bombing, especially
with incendiary bombs. What is
the whole truth?
According to book on japanese
architecture by Hideto Kishida, the
architecture of Japan has been of
wood from the Oldest times to the
present day, except, Of course, the
buildings planned in European style
since the beginning Of the Meiji era
086O. But the cities of Toxic and
Osaka are too much Americanized
and have nothing OF Japanese taste
or atmosphere. (Tokio was de-
stroyed by earthquake and fire in
1901
Generally speaking, "the Ameri-
canization" has not been extensive
throughout the isles. Kishida states,
Nearly all buildings in Japan are
made of wood, which is easily wealth
ered." He than adds this 80 sorry"
note: They are, moreover, cum
bustible" And that's all we want
to know.
Kishida provides the laugh Of
the week: THE Japanese are Ca
pable of keen appreciation Of
refinement, elegance, simplicity
clearnesS and frankness. Perhaps
nothing could therefore express bet
ter than Japanese architecture that
Japan and her people are more in
terested in the beautiful than in
the bellicose!" OO-o-o, little man,
what you said!
