A careful study of maps will con-

the will of Germany, landings will
be made at four different points:

az At Norway where the Ger

where it would be very difficult to
bring re-enforcements. feel very
sure that Norway will be a part
of the program. There are excel
lent airfields just south of Staven-
ger which is only about 400 to 500
miles to Hamburg, Bremen and
Berlin. Furthermore, securing such
Norwegian air bases should enable
the Allies to get a foothold in Den
mark. From Northern Denmark it
is only $50 miles to the industrial
cities and seaports of Germany.
An Important Factor
In view of weather conditions in
Norway and elsewhere, this may
mean a delay of the real invasion
of Europe until Spring or Summer
although men are now being rapid
Iy sent to England and elsewhere.
Delay is in favor of the Allies be-
cause Cd Germany is being sys-

bombing; and p because the Al
lies can be better prepared with
more troops ana ornaments the
greater the delay. Then there is al
ways the hope that the German
army leaders will dethrone Hitler.

Bv ROGER BABSON

BABSON PARK, Florida, Feb.
917.-Well, I am back again in Florl-
sda; - hope to be here for the
remainder of the winter. l am more
convinced if we followed the habits
of the birds instead of men, we al!
would be better off. This is one rea-
son why l have a Bird Sanctuary
at Babson Park, Massachusetts,,
and gladly support the John Wilt
son Bird Museum there. Well -
among other good things - birds
know when to 60 South and when
to return North.
Don't Get Excited
AS soon as I can get some gaso-
line to get about cts awful tight
here, I'm going to write a column
about Florida. II rather looks now
that Florida is getting all set for
another boom. At any rate it makes
me cheerful to be here. The low
figures for the numbe.: of our boys
who are being killed in the war
are also encoura ging. Statistics in
dicate they are almost as safe in
the army as at home. They enjoy
better health, have no joy riding
and are free from industrial &C
cidents. In fact - based upon an
average of 5000, 900 in the armed
forces since Pearl Harbor-only l
man out of every 40 has been
killed; while an even smaller pro-
portion have been wounded severe
ly enough not to return to active
duty.
Having nothing to do today but
sit in the sunshine, pick flowers,
drink orange juice and listen to the
birds sing, I had time to study
my maps! Nov, l am not mill
tary man; but only humble Stats
tician. During World War 1, I was
an Assistant to the Secretary of
Labor in Washington in charge of
heading off industrial strikes and
did pretty good job of it. During
that war I learned that the big
things really going on are not talk
