of thought in Germany even while they con-
cede they cannot win this one.
The other point on which agreement has been
reached, says "Pertinax, is that:
Britain and the United States have conced-
ed that the Russians will be at Liberty to do
whatever they like with German troops that
surrender to the Red Army on the terrnina-
ton of hostilities. It will be open to them to
make all officers and soldiers prisoners OF
war. This is held to imply that labor bat
talions may be formed out of the mass OF
German prisoners, since the German gov
eminent never endorsed the Geneva Con-
vention, which forbids the employment Of
prisoners of war as forced laborers.''
There can no longer be any doubt that the
Russians, who have suffered so severely at
the hands of invading German armies, will
accept nothing less than an eye for an eye, a
tooth for tooth, when the time comes to
dictate terms to the Berlin government. The
part of Russia that was laid waste by German
forces shall be rebuilt with German labor.
The farms destroyed the factories RACED, the
cities wiped out, shall be restored by the
supermen of Hitlers armed forces. Is it any
wonder that German troops, and particularly
their officers, are hopeful of escaping from
Russia and surrenderiug to the British and
Americans?

and satisfactorily done II the planes could
start in the Marianas, deliver their load Of
bombs upon chosen targets and continue their
flight to bases in China where they could re-
fuel, reload their bomb bays and repeat the
original process.
Because this is universally recognized it is
to be assumed that while the Japanese will
do what they can to thwart it, the Allied

even greater effort to retain bases in the

Air Blitz On Japan

Since that amazing first raid on Japanese
steel plants by the American B-2ss there is
no reason to doubt that the Tokyo warlords
will make the destruction Of bases in China
from which they took of or may take off
again major war project.
They will redouble their military operations
In eastern CHINA condition which makes it
ment to the Chinese lest they be driven out Of

General Stilwells efficient training a potent
weapon for the defeat of Japan.
But the fact that Japan might close airfields
in eastern China to American Superfortresses
able to continue their blitz. The campaign in
the Marianas is making steady and substan-
tial progress. The taking Of Saipan alone would
provide bases for B-29's within fifteen hum
dred miles Of Japan's shores, an easy cruis-
ing distance. Obviously the reduction Of Sal
pan would be quickly followed by the recon
quest Of Guam. Admiral Nimitz naval task
forces are clearing the way for new Super

that has characterized all his operations since
he first sent his ships westward from Pearl
Harbor.
The main disadvantage Of having Super

80 Per Cent Saved

Nothing can be said to ease the sorrow OF
American households bereaved by the Allied
landing or subsequent fighting on Normandy.
That grief cannot be assuaged by mortal
sympathy.
But for other families whose sons or faith
ers or husbands have suffered wounds there
is consolation in the knowledge that not more
than | per cent have succumbed.
When the American and British expedition
arv forces started for France they carried
not only the tools of modern warfare. Medl-
cal and surgical units fully equipped, thor
oughly trained courageous and consecrated,
went with them.
Not only were evacuation hospitals set up
quickly. Operating hospitals were in operation
within five miles of the front lines. Hospital
ships and airplanes were transferring patients
from Normandy to England almost from the
first. It is reported that Of seventy six
cases on one ship for three days not one
developed infection though some had amputa-
tons and abdominal operations.
This casualty transportation service has
been developed so expeditiously that a soldier
wounded in France in the morning will be in
hospital in England by 10 o'clock that night
Sulfa drugs and penicillin have been sent
into Normandy in great quantities. Whole
blood, it is reported was delivered to the
battlefront, first by ship and then by air.
plane. Since then, some patients have received
six or more plasma transfusions in single
day.
This 90 per cent Of survivals is in grateful
contrast with the record Of the former World
War when more than II per cent Of wounded
men died. It is heartening to know that while
more and deadlier weapons are being used
science and supply and skilled physicians and
surgeons are saving an unprecedented per-
centage Of our armed forces,

Eye For An Eye

Because there is more drama in battle than
in negotiations, and particularly because what
is now happening in Normandy occupies the
public mind almost to the point of obsession,
happenings behind the doors Of some council
chambers for the most part are either I'm
heralded or given scant recognition in the ma
TONS press. Thus the proceedings of the Euro
pean Advisory Commission, which is drafting
armistice terms for Germany when Hitler is
overthrown, despite their vast importance, are
papers may be available for battle news.
We are indebted to ''Pertinax," who is a
mainstay of the North American Newspaper
Alliance, for most information on the Com
missions activities. In a recent article he says
the Commission is going ahead with drafting
the armistice convention, and that issues over
which the American, British and Russian gov.
ernments were divided for months have been
settled, two Of them being the methods for
enforcing the armistice and the treatment Of
the German Army.
1t is the purpose Of the Commission, he
writes, to keep clear Of all secondary points
and mainly concentrate upon rendering Ger
many thoroughly inpotent to resist the viii
OF the victorious powers" This can mean only
that 50 far az the big three among the United
Nations are concerned, Germany shall have
no chance to prepare for another World War

,lready the objective Of the Prussian schoo
