Battle Is Joined

That the Battle of Europe is, in actual fact,
Joined at last is to be seen in the fact that
Allied forces in Normandy have captured Ger
mans transferred from the Russian front and
in Italy have bagged German fliers moved in
haste from Belgium and Holland One of the
factors that delayed Allied progress up the
Italian boot was the presence of German divi-
sions withdrawn from the Eastern front in Rus
STA.
Hitler is shifting his forces from one front
to another in effort to stem the Allied on
slaught very much as the Germans did in
the closing campaigns of the former World
war. Foch's strategy then was to strike sudden
attack at another, and so kept the enemy on
the move, denying him the chance to build
up a sufficient force either for an offensive
or even long sustained defense. 1t was this
method of fighting that finally brought des-
pair to the German militarists and led to their
defeat afeld.
With the same general battle plan in. effect
now, but on a much greater scale and with
three fronts ablaze, there is no good reason
to think that it will not achieve the same re-
Suits However great Hitler's armed forces
still are, they cannot hope efficiently to defend
his lines if they must continually be on the
move.
It is true that the bitterest fighting still
lies ahead Increasing casualty lists sadly
foretelI what the immediate future holds. The
toll must be greater before it can be halted.
But the outcome cannot longer be held in
doubt. The fact that Hitler is definitely fight
ing defensive war, that he cannot success
fully launch an offensive action anywhere on
the Continent is in itself proof that his bandit

Hazard Easily Overcome

Despite all that has been said and done to dis
courage the practice, boys on bicycles con.
tinue to cut through traffic and make prohibit
ed left turns at downtown intersections. No
day passes that human lives are not placed
in danger by youngsters who through careless
ness or in defiance of the law create grave
hazards.
Parents, police and employers have failed
to stop the practice, though all have tried. May
be the offenders themselves could be prevailed
upon to end their violations if shown simple
way out. We offer one.
When bicyclist arrives at an intersection
with a red signal light showing and left turn
prohibited. all he has to Go is dismount and
join pedestrians crossing the street in the di-
rection he intends to take, pushing his bicycle
through the intersection.
By this device he becomes pedestrian.
Once across, he may remount his wheel and
be on his way lawfully and with negligible loss
of time Best of all, he does not create an &C.
cident hazard either to himself or any one
else
Try it, boys.
