PACIFIC:
Rip Jap Barges

Although Japan's merchant ma
rine ranked No. among the world S
fleets before Pearl Harbor, her mari
time position has since slipped in
view of her losses and limited ship
building facilities.
AS consequence, the willy Nips
have devised new system for sup
plying their embattled South Pacific
island forces: strongholds are now
being supplied through small, swift
coastal barges, in which the enemy
sail at night, and in which they hide
by day in the many coves along
the shores lines.
Well aware of the Japanese sys-
tenn, American airmen have con-
centrated much of their bombing
against these craft. Barges attempt
ing to stock enemy troops at be-
leaguered Munda on New Georgia
island have had rough going at the
hands Of U. S. aviators, and con-
centration of the craft at Rein Bay,
New Britain, was the target for a
heavy Allied assault.
With the Allies threatening their
sea-borne supplies and bombarding
them from the sky with deadly tor
pedo and dive bombers, Jap troops,
true to their tradition Of fighting to
the death, chung desperately to the
1aSf peripo etar IF their 6efensaS At

SOUTH AFRICA: Gen. Christian
SHUTS, prime minister of the Union
of South Africa, has won an over
whelming victory at the polls. Ev-

considerable credit for swinging the
Union toward active participation on
the Allied side.
THIRST: Three soldiers recently
died of thirst in the desert near
Yuma, Calf, when they became
separated from their unit while on
a training march, according to
camp officers at Camp Young.
CONCERTS: Free outdoor con-
certs, similar to those presented in

RUSSIA:
Peak Offensive

Peak of summer fighting in Rus
STA centered around Orel. Here,
the Reds exerted the greatest pres
sure against stubborn German forces
ringed from the north, south and
east, with their principal railway
supply line running westward to
Bryansk seriously threatened.
According to Russian accounts,
the Germans used large forces Of
reserves to counterattack advancing
Red units from the south and east.
Admitting they were outnumbered,
the Germans were said to have fall
en- back slowly under the trip-ham-
mer blows of Russian armored col
umns.
The Germans told another story.
They said their attack at Belgorod
in the first stage of the summer
fighting broke up Red concentrations
at the southern end of the 160-mile
front and compelled the Russians to
concentrate on Orel. Here, the Nazis
said, they were pursuing a policy
of defensive fighting to exhaust the
Reds strength.
Heavy fighting was reported south
of Leningrad by both sides.

Fiue Points for Italy

Successful as diplomat once be-
fore when he pulled Adm. Jean OAR
lan's French North Africa over to
the Allied cause, Gen. Dwight like"
Eisenhower addressed himself to an
other soldier, this time Italian Pre-
mier Pietro Badoglio, in a bid for
Italy's withdrawal from the war.
Commencing the Italian people
and Italy's royal house for remov-
ing Mussolini, General Eisenhower
stressed five points in his address
to the newly constituted govern
ment.
Said General Eisenhower: /. Only
the Germans in Italy are blocking
peace; 2. Cessation of hostilities is
possible Immediately under honor
able terms; 3. Discontinuance Of
assistance by the Italians to German
armed forces is a prerequisite Of
peace; 4. A pledge that Italian war
prisoners will be returned if Allied
prisoners in Italian hands also are
returned; S. If hostilities cease, the
liberties and traditions Of Italy will
be restored.

DOCTORS:
Face Draft

Out of the nations 10000 doctors,
1000 already are in uniform, and
out of the 10000 dentists, $1,000 are
in the services.
However, the army has requested
a substantial addition to these num-
bers, and to meet the need, the War
Manpower commission has planned
to draft doctors and dentists be-
tween 38 and As years of age.
Under the WINGS plan, the army
would waive it's prohibition against

allotments may be cut down as much
as two gallons.
Gas rationing in the central states
has been primarily enforced for the
preservation of rubber, Ickes said.
Because oil was relatively plentiful
in these states as result of INSULT
cient transportation facilities to haul
it to the East, rations were more
liberal. Now that facilities are avail
able for increasing the haul, how
ever, Ickes felt that the supply
should be "equalized" as much as
possible throughout the country.

SICILY:
Yapks' Test

More than three divisions of Adolf
Hitler's crack German troops took
up positions around San Stefano in
northern Sicily to await the assault
of Gen. George S. Patton's charging
American Seventh army.
The San Stefano region loomed as
the Axis northern anchor for their
shrunken lines in the mountainous
corner of the island where they
found themselves pocketed. Much
like the Tunisian terrain, great diff
culties confronted Patton's Yankees,
who were faced with a tedious crawl
up rocky slopes in the face Of stiff
machine gun and mortar fire.
To the west Of the Axis defenses,
stood the Canadians, encountering
the same obstacles as the Ameri-
cans. To the south, Gen. Bernard
Montgomery's British Eighth army
poised for action against strong Ger
man forces, which had held them
up in the plains after a slashing
tank attack.
Thus the final phase Of the battle
of Sicily opened.

Observing that the 1910 census
had shown decrease in births and
in the number of children up to 8
years but large increase in the
number of middle-aged and old peo-
pie, the report said:

TO reduce some three-quarters of
the preventable human loss in our

readily achievable results, especially

through a megaphone. Our captain
shouted back, Her Imperial Meth

us through the mine fields, while an
ancient singapore" flying boat,
with twin puller and pusher motors,
numbered overhead.
That, and a few other planes of
similar vintage, were Hong Kong's
air force. Great Britain had neither
the men nor airplanes nor guns to
spare for the defense of this once
mighty bastian of Far Eastern EN-
pire. But the high hills of the Kow-
loon Peninsula. behind which lurked
the japanese Army, looked formid-
able, and Victoria Island, on which
the city of Hong Kong is located,
brlstled with guns and machine gun
posts.
The town was as filthy, in the
crowded waterfront areas, as ever
and as magnificent from the soaring
Peak. People were still dancing in
the Hong Kong and Gloucester
hotels. and some of the more beauti-
full Chinese and Eurasian girls had
as many as five handsome, uni
formed escorts. Everybody was talk
ing about the recent defense scandal
which revealed that part of the
funds set aside to build air raid
shelters had found its way into the
bank account of Mimi Lau, a young
Cantonese beauty. At least one Off
Ger had taken the honorable way
out; a single shot through the
temple.
On our strolls through the city
Roberto would stop aghast, and
stare angrily as he saw for the first
time what the British Colonial
thought of the Chinese. Time after
time we saw amiable-a
British businessmen push Chinese
who got in their way on the side
walks, or urge on ricksha men with
few light strokes of cane. 1t was
all done casually, as something in
the normal course of events.
The Canadian troops had just
arrived and their transports and
light cruiser were still in the harbor
Their first day ashore some Cana
dianS went into the Gloucester
lounge for tea and were told no men
in uniform, except officers, would be
served. They went our muttering,
so we came here to fight for dem
ocracy. Oh yeah, what democracy?"
A fe wdays later the order was
changed and the Canadians went
wherever they pleased until De-
cember 8.
During the tWo-day trip from
Hong Kong to Manila we failed to
sight single ship, but the Hong
Kong bound Pan American Clipper
flew low over us on the opposite
course.
Entering Manila Bay we glanced
only casually at the Bataan PENN
sula and the impressive saddle of
Mount Marivales The channels
through the mine fields led us close
to the shore of Bataan, although we
didn't know at the time that it
was Bataan. The peninsula looked
forbidding and uninhabited.
Behind the breakWater in Manila
Harbor we saw the Coolidge tied
up, with an American cruiser in
battle paint beyond it. Tanks and
trucks and boxes of ammunition ard
Grated planes were being unloaded
from many ships of a convoy just
in from the United States.
The harbor seemed to be full of

the submarines and destroyers of
Admiral Thomas c. Hart's Asiatic
Feet. Navy catapult planes buzzed
overhead and an occasional pursuit
and four-engined bomber. Those
were the first American warplanes
I'd seen in more than two years.
I called to Roberto, Look at those
American ships and planes. Don't
they make you feel good?" Roberto,
who like all Argentines is meticu-
lous about the use of the adjective

full. When the Japs come down
