THE 100 DAYS

The end Of the war in Europe
can come through hopeless de-
feat Of the German armies in
the field; it may come through a |
cracking of home-front support;
or through a combination of the
two.
We now have abundant evil
dence that these final processes
are working. The American
sweep into Brittany IN t b e|
drive eastward in the direction
of Paris appear to be gaining
momentum. Some Is German
divisions. have been eliminated
since the Allied landings t wo
months ago. Anglo.American
casulties approach an almost
equal number in terms of men,
but whereas it is a matter of AL.
lied policy and pride t o make
good replacements overnight so
that divisions are always at opti-
mum strength. the German re-
placement problem grows pro-
gressively more acute.
That the German home front
is shaky, there can be not the
slightest doubt. The suspicion
thrown on the military and the
purge of generals is scarcely de-
signed to bolster the Army's
morale. The constant bombings
and the evident evaporation of
the Luftwaffee must be deeply
felt by the citizenry. We see
the effects of a relatively few
1000 pound robots n London,
and can picture, in turn, the re-
suits of 2.0OO-pIane raids on Ber-
lin.

.T armer.r When
 The War Is Over. Says Sailor Lad
By JACK STlNNETT

WASHINGTON - He was just an ordinary sailor, nachinist'h mate-third class. l didn't even gel his name, but in the brief conver- .ation ] did ask him what he planned to do when the war is over.
 "Me?" he said slowly and got little starry eyed 1'm gonna get me Q farm and raise chickens and pigs and things"
 This wouldn't be anything sur prising excep. that he disclosed a few moments later that he had been born and reared in Brook lyn and had never been closer to farm land than what nearby Long Island had 10 offer.
 The point is that he is typical of q million or so men in service that the Department of Agricul- ture and Congress are counting on giving a helping hand when they get back from up front.
 There are a number of bills in Congress providing for readjust- nie the discharged service men to civil life, but one thing that is in almost every one of them and certain of passage in some form is provision for getting the would be farmer off to a good start.
 The prospective congressional provisions would D make di- rect loans to ex-service men. who desire to buy farms: @ provide for guaranteed mortgages, thus permitting banks and farm mort gage companies to make liberal loans; and t3) direct the Depart ment of Agriculture to give all possible aid to these young farm CTS toward seeing that their eff forts produce cash returns.

Floating Postrnnern Greet Freigghters For 50th Year

DETROIT - A cinch for tor rank n any popularity poll witt Great Lakes seamen is Detroit'' fishing post office which early this month inauglrated is s0tt year of nid-river deliveries tC inter-lake freighters.
 The trim. .dieseI-poweted o. H Nook. fourth in a line of mail- boats, IS the only maritime post office maintained by the U S government Last year in PAS day season, it handled a record 2,263, ,109 pieces of mail, 4S times the volume of the first years op- eration in 1895.
 At the outset, transfer of mail with lake steamers was accom- plished by a three-man carrier crew, taking turns in a rowboat and exchanging letters in a buck ct lowered from the passing freighters.
 Today expert pilots swing the 65-foot Nook alongside steamer as it churns along. Transfer of letters, parcels, money orders and postal savings is accomplish ed is seconds and the Nook is away to greet another oil tanker, ore or grain carrier Last year the Nook, in it's eighth season of service, made 21,344 such con- tacts.
 The bucket remains the means of exchange, however, but the floating postmen can't remember the last time a load went into the water.

Since farm production is now being pushed to the limit, an expanded postwar program may seem like pipe dream. but agri- culture officials will tell you that isn't so. Apparently the "econo- ny of scarcity which resulted in bonuses for blowing under every thing from pigs to cotton has been abandoned The idea now is that if will take years of maximum production to feed postwar world
 AS for available land, the ex- perts estimate that the Army and Navy now have 3,0O0,0O0 acres of good farm land which can be re turned to farming as soon as the war is over. In addition. blue prints are being drawn for recla- nation of additional millions of acres principally through riga ton, but some also through drain age and flood control.
 * * *
 The Department of Agriculture estimates that there are now million farm youths in the armed services. While a large percent age will return to their family farms and an additional number will make use of their service training 10 turn to other pursuits, there still will be hundreds of thousands who will want their own farms There's probably eveii a greater number of farmers who have gone into war industry and will want to return to farming as soon as the lush wartime wages begin to shrink.
 No consideration has been given so far to these ex-war workers but many officials here think that some similar provision will be made as soon as the "G-I Bill of Rights" or something like it has become a law.
 Unless all present signs are pointing in the wrong direction, the would-be farmers in the armed services are going to be given the biggest break of any of the dischargees.

Workers Respond to Fighting Mans Needs

Scarcely noted by the press was a disclosure this week by Lieuten- ant General Brehon B. Somervell, chief of the army service forces, that American workers boosted pro- duction of munitions and supplies for the army during August by 10.7 per cent.
 That brought output figures to the highest level since last Febru- ary, overcoming a summer slump, Somervell said. He paid tribute to workers for putting their backs into the job of getting out enough arms and equipment, on time"
 Most significant, he revealed, is that the chief increases were in items that had been acutely short "The response has been most grat- flying" he said.

Washington. D. C.-Construction of 12,600,000 non-farm houses and apartment units will be required in the first ten years after the war to meet the needs of American families and to make substandard strides in replacing subStandard structures with good homes. NHA estimates.
 The estimate, according to MIA Administrator John B. Blanford, Jr., is "an earnest effort to judge the size of the nations housing needs-not an announcement of a program"
 Blandford said replacement of all substandard structures would re- quire 16,100,OOO units in all, but MIA figures were based on the as- sumption that replacement would be spread over a 20-year period.

Some Shorts
 from Mrs. Shorty

Here Is a trick when you are washing walls. Always start from the bottom of the wall so that the dirty water from the top won't drip down and streak the lower part.
 When dusting the floor molding, or mop board, use . wide paint brush, If you still know where you can get one. A cheap one does the job nicely. Another place where paint brush comes in handy is dusting lampshades.
 Here's one with regard to care of furnace. Always keep the ash pit clear of ashes. You will get bet ter results from your furnace and in these days when fuel Is scarce, you need every drop of heat you can get from your coal Ooes heat come in drops?).

Knudsen Warns Labor of Coming Unemployment

Dayton, Ohio-Lieut. Gen. Will liam S. Knudsen, director of the Air Technical Service Command, warned labor of reconverSion un- employment and called upon man. agement and the Government alike to cooperate toward prompt war contract settlements in order to speed the start of peacetime produc- ton. He said:
 Labor will have to understand that there will be some unemploy- ment as we terminate contracts and cut back production. It will have to be patient until we can absorb these unemployed people in plants which will increase produc- ton, such aS those making B-20 Superfortress bombers and parts,
 Management must realize the necessity for the prompt presents tion of bills to the government ;. |. The government, in turn, has a tremendous responsibility in set ting these claims, turning excess property to other uses and at the same time continuing the kind of production it will take to beat Ger many to its knees and knock Japan senSeless."
