ANTWERP
(New York Timesl


 Antwerp is one of the shining Al- lied prizes of the war. The Belgian port on the Scheldt is worth more in terms of supply for the assault on Germany than perhaps any other city we have taken. It is some 200 miles nearer the German front fer than Cherbourg, the one open port on which we have chiefly dee pended in the Battle of France, and ten times as large. In the years be- fore the war only 6,500,000 tons of shipping entered Cherbourg, as against more than 25,000,000 tons that docked at Antwerp.
 All reports indicate that the har- Dor, with its twenty-eight miles of quays and huge docks, Is practically undamaged. Even the bridges and rail system which lead into the city are intact. As soon as the German batteries at Flushing and Zeebrugge are reduced, the port, one of the finest in northwest Europe, can be put to immediate use. Evidently the Germans, caught completely by sur. prise by hte long loop of Allied troops swinging up behind the coast into Antwerp, got away in a great hurry. It is clear from the desper- ate defense of Brest, Le Havre and the other French ports that the German High Command had issued orders to hold them to the last gasp. Tn case 10 @ forced retreat, this had the double purpose of complicating Allied supply problems and gain ing time ot mass reserves op the Siegfried Line. But at Antwerp, at least, the High Command lost con- trol of the situation.
 Magnificent as our service of sup ply haE been in moving, feeding and munitioning four speeding armies, 1t must have been sorely hampered by lack of port facilities. As our armies converge on the Rhine, these difficulties are bound to increase. Antwerp will be of vast help in solving them.

significantly call this training "in- doctrination."
 Before fighting man goes into battle for the first time he has been taught: What he must do and yhat he must not do as a member of a military organization. 2. How he can fight most efficiently for his country and defend himself.
 Just as a uniform alone does not make soldier out cf civilian, so a man does not become a Christian by adopting the opinion that there ig a God who somehow or other looks after him. He has missed the real meaning of religion, and in a test of strength with evil, he will fno he has little or nothing to help him win his battle.
 Untrained armies have been the cause of many a militnry disaster. Untrained Christians can do nc leivice to the cause of Christ = or themselves.

SEPTEMBER IN OUR GARDEN

fo,eoree B. c. Rugg in The Chritian Science
 Monitor) Autumn is colse at hand. From each gray oircn There falls gentle rain of withered leaves The sumachs tossing plumes of red have not Appeared to overshadow faded brown Of tall Kentucky Wonders or their low Busied brothers long since stripped or saVory poos The dazzling Morning Glory blues have passed Massed heads of phlox have turned to nigsard And thinning grape leaves show the halfgrown
 fruit. It is as if Dame Nature had found need To draw A soft and quiet breath before Unbinding all her turbulence of reds or gold and russet, for the harvest days Autumn is close at hand.

In fact, Churchill's Conservative Party leaders have already sent instructions down to their bor- ough leaders to begin organizing for a national election,
 Churchill'S party strategists have already had conferences with leaders of the Labor Party and have sought their support for Q continuation of future coalition government. The labor leaders of the Churchill cabinet, however, have said no. They believe that after the war, Labor should go on its own and should not be tied up with the Conservative Party.
 Conservative leaders, however, figure that the rank and file of the Labor Party will not follow their leaders but, instead, will follow Churchill, They believe that the Labor Party Is not ready to desert the Coalition.
 Churehill's move in calling the general election immediately af- ter the armistice is considered very shrewd timing. Today he is popular in England. A few months from now he may not be. The Bri- tiSh Prime Minister will stand on his war record, and his coopera- ton with Roosevelt will not be played down as one reason why he should be returned to power. It Is expected that the Conservative Party will win without too much difficulty.
 TIMES KEEPS
 DEWEY'S GADFLY
 Governor Dewey has just had a significant brush with the New York Times in which he finally came off second best.
 For a good many years, New York Times ace correspondent Warren Moscow has been cover. ing MT. Dewey, beginning back in the crime-busting days in New York city. In recent years, as the TimesN Albany correspondent, Moscow has been something of Q pain to the Governor, due to his penetrating sometimes embarrass- ing press-conference questions.
 So the other day, New York Times publisher Arthur SulE- berger received call from Roger Straus, New York indus- trialist. Straus conveyed the message that Governed Dewey wanted Warren Moscow re. moved from Albany.
 Publisher Sul2berger promptly conferred with tough, hard-boiled managing editor Jimmy" James James remnostrated. He said Moscow had done a good job, was one of the Times best men, was only covering the facts develop ing in Albany, and that he, James, would not remove him unless he got specific orders from Sulzberger.
 Sulxberger debated further, finally gave the order for Mos cows transfer.
 Meanwhile, Moscow received an offer from another newspaper but before he resigned, he asked if he could talk to Sulzberger per- sonally. The interview was grant, ed, at which Moscow told the New York Times publisher a few things straight from the shoulder. Among other things, he asked:
 ''IS this the kind of newSpa- per which lets outsiders select its Albany correspondent? If so, don't want to work for it."
 Whereupon Sulzberger changed his mind, decided to flout Dewey. Whether Dewey likes 1t or not, he will now have to get along with Gadfly Moscow.

FLOATING HOSPITALS
(Boston Post)

(BoStOn FoSJ)
 General MacArthur has found a new use for the famed LST Handing ship tank). He has converted a number of them Into floating hos- pitals, complete with receiving com partment, operating room and post. operative wards, to be used in ell future invasions. That means they are to go in right behind the first assault waves and the plan is to beach them and set them up for ace ton not more than 46 minutes after the initial strike. If all goes well, a man wounded on the beachhead might be placed on the operating table within 16 minutes after being hit, faster than his injuries could be attended to If he were knocked down by any automobile in Times Square. Thus another important stride is taken toward the goal of maximum safety for our fighting men. It will be translated into many e life saved In the arduous Pacific campaigns to come.

The speech by Congresswoman Clare Boothe Luce before the Republican Ma tional Convention recently published Tn the Connecticut State Journal was so different from every other speech that 1t stands alone. It not only stands alone, but 1t stands out as one of the classics of the year. No wonder that the CO con- n. yeation serenaded her with song, "Let Me Call You Sweetheart; I'm in Love With You" Mrs. Luce is the wife Of the publisher of Life, Time and Fortune, which is enough to be said about any woman. Aside from that, she IS as cap able congresswoman who has ever been elected to that office.

AS A MATTER OF FACT

For the first time in years the pro spective domestic wheat crop probably will be large enough to cover require ments, without reducing the size of the carry-over, reports the Department of Agriculture. AS of July 1 the crop was indicated at 1,128 million bushels, which would be the largest in our history and 9S million bushels above the indication based on June 1 condition. The carry over of old wheat-in July-is estimated at about 3l6 million bushels, and although considerably below the 6S2 mil lion bushels a year earlier 1t is about third larger than the 2S5 million aver age in 1932-41.

WHERE DIGESTION BEGINS

Tn Q healthy person the sallvA contains 0 digestive enEynlo or "fer~ ment" called ptyalin, which cons verts cooked starch Into maltese Co type of sugar) which in turn is converted into dextrose after tho food reaches the intestine and that is the form in which oil oarbohys dates food (starches or sugars) lA absorbed and utilized for heat and muscular energy
 How important this part of dlges. ton Is for good health and physical efficiency is hard to realize.
 The chewing process in the mouth thoroughly mixes food and salvia--- or should do 80 -- but the bolus is swallowed too quickly for the phy- alin Go complete It's action on care bohydrate food. Tn the stomach tho gastric juice is sufficiently acid Go destroy the ptyalln or to arrest It's action (ptyalin requires neutral or alkaline medium, as In the saliva). ft was therefore supposed former. ly that sallvary digestion ceased when the food entered the stomach and hence is of little value in tho digestive process.
 We know better now. We know that Q considerable part of on or" dlnary meal may remain in the car- dlao or upper portion of the stoIiis ach for the first hour or more after the meal, completely shut oil from the acid secretion in the lower or pyloric end of the stomach, 70 that saliVary digestion continues for nearly on hour In the stomach
 There are other good reasons why it is essential to chew such foods as vegetables. greens cereals and breads made from them, fruits and nuts well before gulplng them down or washing them down with beverage, but we haven't room Co enumerate them here.
 It would not be SO serious if the loss of a single tooth or maybe . couple teeth entailed merely a 3Se or 66 deficiency in mastication, If the mlssln gtooth or teeth are not promptly replaced with functionally efficient dentures the entire aligns ment, bit or occulsion of the teeth Is bound to suffer change in the course of weeks or months, and the masticating function becomes there- by far more than 3sS or 6Ps degel- ent.
 It might not be SO serious, for year or so perhaps, if the deficient mastication and deficient Salivary digestion entailed only the annoy. ance or discomfort of dyspepsia" "acid indigestion" "gas," nervous indigestion" and the like. But that's only the lighter side of it,
 It is from the foods above men@ toned that We get most of the VI. tamins and minerals required for good nutritlon-if VIC get them at all If masticatlon of such foods Is deficient we just don't get the VI. tamins and minerals from the foods we eat-if the diet includes ade" quate proportions fsuch foods
 And SO, loss of teeth spells nutrI- tional deficiency, and nutritionnl deficiency in the great majority Of cases, goes unrecognized or mas querades under some meaningless or misleading name which suRficeS to satisfy the curiosity of the victim regarding the nature of his trouble.
