An up-to-the-minute map showing where the
long anticipated invasion of Western Europe from
the British Isles is on today. Hundreds of thou
sands of men are moving southwark across the
water (see arrow on large map) in the grandest
scale military naval and air maneuver of all time.
Every important point in the west European bat
tleground is detailed in the map above; included
also are the old fortress systems which Germany
may have to use in Northern France.
In the lower map an enlargement of the in
vasion area, is shown the pincer movement started
by Allied troops from Cherbourg to LIE Havre as
they established beachheads along the coast of
Normandy. In the first day of fighting Allied
troops drove into Caen, nine and half miles inside
the Wanted Nazi West Wall.
Of the invasion, both President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill said it is running up to
schedule At the same time supreme headquar-
ters spokesman said that the American, British
and Canadian Allied armies had gotten over the
first five or six hurdles
The area selected for the invasion was of the
low sandy beach type rather than that of the high
cliffs area to the eastward across from Dover or
the Calais area. The west coast of the Cherbourg
peninsula, where the airborne troops were landed,
is rocky coast with cliffs
Preceding the invasion Allied airmen delivered
the heaviest bombardment in the history of the
world which softened the territory for the troops

CIlina's Triple Seven

accomplish throughout the past seven
years.
If this is done, the heroic and
costly war which China has con-
Quoted against Japan for seven years
will have been IN vain, and our re-
cent observance of the anniversary
of that gallant resistance will have
been mockery.
For various and obvious reasons,
the reinforcement and arming and
strengthening of China are difficult
tasks.
They are, however, essential and
vital tasks.
UNLESS THEY ARE PER
FORMED PROMPTLY AND ABE
QUATELY, CHINA'S PARTICI-
PATTON IN THE WAR MUST
SOON END.
Then we will be foreclosed against
any land assault against Japan from
China.
Then we will very likely be fore
closed against any further air attacks
against Japan from land bases in
China.
Then, in fact, we alone will in our
turn be compelled to fight Japan.
THESE are the ominous considera-
l. tons which should have been in
the minds of the American people as
they, in all enthusiasm and apprecia
ton, observed China S triple seven
anniversary.
They were most surely uppermost
in the minds of our Chinese Amerl-
cans
We have amply shown that we
have abundant sympathy and respect
for China.
We are under pressing obligation
to ourselves as we'll as to the Chi
nese-to make our armed assistance
equally abundant, and the time for
that is growing desperately short.

THE Chinese residents Of the
i United States, with the enthusiast
tic and appreciative cooperation OF
the American people as whole, con
Quoted appropriate observance on
Friday, July T. of the seventh ami
versary of China S war against Japan.
This was the seventh day of the
seventh month of the seventh year
of China's continuing war; and was
accordingly and most appropriately
called the triple seven" observance.
Chinese Americans, and indeed
all Americans, have good cause for
enthusiast and appreciation for
China's long and costly struggle
TITS war which China was com
L PEELED to fight alone for many bit
ter years.
Ii has exacted expenditures of
japanese mnnpoWer and resources
in China Which otherwise Would
hove been utilized against the United
States.
It has cost China her most useful
and productive territories, and mil
lions of lives
The capacity of China to stay in
this terrible war all these bitter
years, and the spirit of her people in
the face of tremendous odds and
ruthless devastation and bestial treat
ment, commend her to us and com
mand our respect.
However, there was a sober and
challenging note in the triple seven
observance.
At the moment of this enthusiast
tic and appreciative observance in
the United States, the GRIM WAR
in China was moving swiftly toward
TRAGIC CLIMAX.
The japanese were establishing
positions in China which, if con-
solidated, threaten to finally accom-
plish what Japan has vainly tried to

POLITICAL
PARADE 4
BY George
RothweII Brown
ITO THE plea that Gov. Dewey


Il must meet the challenge OF
President Roosevelt's argument
of the indiSpensability of the
commander in chlef-and do II
fast,-there is but one answer:
he has already anticipated II,
and refuted IT.
Mr.. RooSevelts specious pre-
mise for a fourth-term in which
he may faSten New Deal radi-
Callsm on the country with still
stronger chains did not catch the
Republican presidential nominee
mapping.
He had figured out in advance
the Presidents only defense for
anot h er precedent breaking
campaign. This is how he met
the issue in his speech OF ac-
ceptance:
THE military conduct Of the
war is outside this campaign.
IL il and must remain COM
pletely out Of politics. Gen.
Marshall and Adm. King are do
ing a superb job. Thank God
for both of them.
Let me make ID crystal clear
that n change of administration
next January cannot and will
not involve any change in the
military conduct of the war.
"If there is not now any
civilian interference with the
military and naval commands,
change in administration will
not alter that status. II there
is civilian interference, the new
administration will put a stop
TO il forthwith"
THAT closely reasoned state
l. ment, product of a cold.
legal mind. completely, and IN
advance, knocked the props
from under the pretense of Mr..
Roosevelt's bid for an indefinite
tenure Of office, 10 embrace the
period of the war. and the
period of the peace-making
thereafter.
That paragraph from Deweys
great speech at Chicago should
be displayed on every billboard,
in every newspaper. should be
carried over every radio. 1t is
a Knockout
Mr.. Roosevelt would make
out that his defeat would de-
priVe the country Of a COM
mander in chief in time of war.
Nothing of the sort! If Gov.
Dewey should be elected preSi-
dent in November. the Republic
would have a new commander
in chief the moment he took
the oath of office in January
Under the Constitution the
functions of the commander IN
chief are purely civilian IN
character. The Constitution
does not contemplate a military
genius in the White House.
MR.. ROOSEVELT is not a
WI military genius and has had
no military training If he
should retire from the presl-
dency the civilian command OF
the armed forces would simply
pass 10 his civilian successor
The status Of the army and
fleet high command would not
be altered in the least
If there has not been any
civilian interference with the
military and naval commands,
well and good, the military and
naval commands Will carry on.
If there has been such civilian
interference. Dewey. if elected,
Will put an end 10 IT,
In other words. he VIII free
the military and naval high
command TO WIN THE WAR
THEIR WAY.
Gov. Dewey has stated the
case in words 50 simple a child
can understand them.
