Defeat of Nozi Army Seen
As Only Way to Victory

Correspondent Taylor Henry, in a
dispatch datelined Irun, Spain, yes
terday, reported the consensus of
the returning Americans is that
Germany can be defeated on the
actual field of battle, although mo-
rale in the Reich actually has been
strengthened during the last six
months.
This conclusion is based on OBJ
servations of the behavior of the
Germans with whom members of the
interned group have been in contact
at Baden Baden, the careful reading
of the German press on the spot and
other means of Nazi propaganda, y
Mr.. Henry said
"One of the most striking points
to an observer inside Germany is
the fact that the defeat of the Nazis
must come through the defeat OF
their armed forces.
There is almost no sign visible tc
careful observer that an internal
collapse is worthy of consideration
as far as the people as a whole are
concerned.
Equally striking is the decrease ir
German fighting strength which be.
came apparent as their morale in.
creased.
This decrease was based mainly
on losses of manpower due to the
heavy offensive on the Russian from
in the summer and winter of 1874:
and the inability of German wal
production to compete with that Of
the United Nations.
"One of the most essential points
on which competent observers Of
the American internment group are
convinced is that the American anc
British people must be made aware
that there is no possibility of ar
internal collapse among the German
people such as came in 1918, and
that victory will depend on force OF

BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Arnerica'S Card Authority

One of our prominent Life Mas ters, Sgt. Morrie Ellis, now serving in New Guinea, was carried recently to Estelle Drescher of New York. Mrs. Els plays prettk good game herself-of course she had a good teacher. However, she likes rubber bridge better than tournament play. I was watching her play at the Mayfair Bridge Club in New York. when she made 8 nexceptionally fine end-play with today's hand.
 East played the queen of spades on the opening lead and Mrs. Ellis (South) won. She then cashed three rounds of hearts and tlle ace- king of diamonds, ending up in her own hand. Realizing that the club hnesse had to be right to make the contract, she led small club and f1nessed the jack, then cashed the ace of clubs, hoping to drop the king. When East showed out, Mrs. Ellis led a spade, East was forced to win and had to lead a spade or a diamond, upon which declarer discarded her lasing club and ruffed in dummy.

Make It Yourself And Solve Shortages
Wise Ladies Will Sew, Crochet, Knit Special Gifts

Many sewing machine tricks are learned at local sewing centers where you can learn to make bean bags for kindergarten children by using two pieces of bright felt. but cut in the shape of fruits. vegetables and animals: how to give old clocks a face-lifting with slip-covered cuckoo houses made of cardboard and buckram; and how to turn out with little effort and small expense smart closet ensembles = garment bags, padded hangers and garment shields = which cost a small for- tune to buy.
 And at needlework departments you'll find any number of perfect presents for the lady who likes to do handwork. Shops are well stock ed with lines of fitted sewing boxes, cases of knitting nedles in all sizes, croSs-stitcl1 stampd luncheon sets and bedspreads and plenty of yarn for making sweaters and accessories.
 Also for the lady who likes to fashion her own clothes, store shop pers suggest picking up bargain priced remnants of fabulous fabrics which she'll delight in turning into gilet and glove ensembles, huge high styled draw-string bags or hand detailed blouses,

--WE, THE WOMEN--- Adult Education Neglect
 Is Injurious To Children

bilities are and what respect they should command from their kids. NEGLECT PARENTS
 For many years now Junior has been getting too much attention and his parents too little. You can't concentrate on educating the young and giving them advantages. ne- glecting the part their parents should be playing in their education and training, and expect the. family as a unit to function to the best of it's ability.
 Not until we decide that Junior isn't going to be really well off unless his parents provide the right kind of home and the right kind of home training, are we go- ing to do very much for Junior.
 It's as true of every other kind of American as of the American Indian, that in order to give Jun for advantages, you must start with his parents and work the problem out from there.

Music that delighted the pre- ceding generation and has never been forgotten in the interval, now brings nostalgia melody to Re- public's new musical Atlantic City" which closes tomorrow at the Strand theater.
 Constance Moore, the singing star, who appears with Brad Tay- Tor in the romantic lead opposite her, revives several Hitting old hit tunes, with Paul Whiteman and his orchestra. Other numbers are sung by Belle Baker, Louis Arm strong and his band play sweet and low in specialties with Buck and Bubbles, the Negro comedians, and Dorothy Dandridge.
 Walter Scharf, composer and musical director at Republic, ar- ranged the score. The story of At lantic City" is placed in the period from 1915 to about 1928. It was a gay era, even in the period of in- terruption of World War !.

Many Easy-to- Make Gifts WiIlgD Delight Friends, Cut Costs

Because the handmade gift fills gaps in the Christmas list during 8 year of shortages, and the making itself calms war-jittery nerves, needlework and sewing supply coun- ters are scenes of big booms. Bigger, Btofes report, than the last peak year which was pre- Christmas 1917.
 Knitters are tackling everything from socks to dresses. Needle point addicts, looking for new fields to conquer, are making loafing slip- pers which, when lnonogrammed or lnitialed, make sWank additions to loungerS' wardrobes.
 Crochet hoks are devouring thread Dy the box to fill out Christmas lists with gifts of chic handmade hats, bags and smart household accessor- les, including filet monograms for the bride-to-be's hope chest.

anOCner. GacO hL~ tack leaves its mark, and eventually the hearing will be imparide.
 Figures from a U. $. survey show tht there are 3,000,000 children ot school age in the country who have defective hearing. There is no way of knowing how much of this might have been prevented, but it is safe to say that some of it could have been, if proper care had been given in the beginning.
 Any of the infectious diseases of childhood in which the nose and throat are affected may cause m- flammation of the middle ear. Even repeated attacks of head cold or ton- silitis are likely to result in ear in- fectionS.
 TROUBLE LATER
 Children who have diseased ton- sils and adenoids are prone to have earache. There is danger that this will become so commonplace that parents will think it is not serious and that home treatment is Suf1- cient.
 In it's early Stags earache may sometimes be relieved by the appli- cation of either a hot water bottle or an ice bag. But If the pain con- tinues more than few hours the doctor should be consulted without delay. It is folly to hope the child will get over the trouble without medical attention. Even though the earache disappears it is likely to be followed by chronic inflammation which will make trouble again later, whereas medical treatment in the beginning may prevent troublesome after effects.

Laughter and gaiety predominate in Casanova Brown" starring Gary Cooper and Teresa Wright in Nun- nally, Johnson's latest screen otfer- ing, at the Loew Poh theater.
 As Casanova Brown, literary professor, Gary Cooper gives one of his drollest performances to date. His first venture into marriage with Isabel Drury (Teresa Wright) ends in the girls parents obtaining an annulment.
 On the eve of his second venture into matrimony, with Madge Fer ris (Anita L,ouise), Casanova learns that he is the father of a child born to Isabel! At the Chicago ma- ternity hospital, he learns that the child is offered for adoption. He refuses to consider the proposition, and in desperation, rescues his child and takes her to cheap Chi- cago hotel, where, after telegraph ing Madge to postpone the wedding, he looks after the baby as well as he knows how.
 Knowing that he'll surely be ap- prehended sooner or later, he con- ceives the idea of providing the baby with a mother, so that mo- body will be able to take her away from him. So he proposes to the chambermaid. Monica (Mary Treen) She accepts and together they visit the marriage license bureau.
 Then comes the deluge! MT. and Mrs. Ferris and Madge, and MT. and Mrs. Drury descend upon him. and Gag is faced with the triple prob lem of Monical The hilarious cli- max tells how he is extricated from his dificulties.
