Inc Red ArmyS Spearhead IN
Northeast Poland is pointing di-
rectly at two names which
spelled tragedy for Russia in 1914
and Discriminatory and the
Masurian Lakes.
For vengeance, and because
East Prussia flanks these Baltic
countries north of it, Soviet
armies may attempt to fulfill
their present battlecry of ION to
Koenigsberg." Koenigsberg is the
East PruSsian capital, near the
sea. Occupation of the province,
traditionally the wellspring of
Prussian militarism, would be a
new blow for the Junker gen.
erals.
But in East Prussia the easy
rolling prairies of White Russia
and Eastern Poland come to an
abrupt halt. They give way to
the broken lake-and- forest coun-
try of the Masurian marshes.
The difficulty Of this ground
suggests that East Prussia may
be by-passed in a general Rus
sian drive on Warsaw and thence
up the Vistula to the Baltic.
East Prussia was separated be-
fore 1889 from the rest of Ger
many by the Polish corridor to
the sea. 1t is only half again
as big as Massachusetts,. It's only
good ports are Memel, wrested
from the Lithuanians in 1899,
and the former free city of Dan
zig.
From the east, this segment of
the Reich is accessible to an army
through the Insterberg Gap, but
south of this natural gateway
(the valley of the Pregel River)
the going becomes tough, with a
series of irregular lakes and for
ests running across the southern
part of the country.
In 1914 the Germans deter
minedly held up the Russian lst
Army, under Gen. Rennenkampf,
which tried to hammer its way
through the Insterberg Gap.
At that time the Germans were
outnumbered but had better in
teiligence and transport organi-
zation. Gen. Won Hindenberg as
sumed command. With his chief
OF staff, Gen. Won Ludendorff,
he planned a tactical surprise
for the I'd Czarist Army, which
was moving up from the south
toward the western end of the
Masurian lakes, under the COM
mand of Gen. Samsonov.
Stripping their Insterberg Gap
defenses almost bare, Luden-
dorff and Hindenberg rushed
troops by rail from the front
to attack the right flank of
the I'd Russian Army in the
middle of the lake country.
Meanwhile strong force cut de-
cisively around the Russian left
flank near Tannenberg.
Samsonov's forces had overex-
tended themselves and were short
on supplies. With both fianks
badly gouged, their middle COL
lapSed. Samsonov committed
suicide, and the Germans claimed
they captured 125,000 prisoners
and 500 guns. This was the IA
nous Battle of Tannenberg.
But in this war Russian supply
lines are as different from their
czarist equivalents as day is from
night.

Florence an open city so that its
capture will be easy once the de-
fenses before the city are broken.
1t is possible that the Nazis will de-
stroy the bridges across the river,
however. to impede the British ad-
vance through the city.
Allied aircraft took the war to
the enemy in heavy force all week
and even had some success, ap-
parently, in reducing the effective
ness of the buzz bombs which, while
curtailed in number, still claimed
numerous victims in London and
Southern England towns.
The British admitted in Connec-
ton with the flying bombs that
Goebbel's claim of lotion buzz
bombs to come conceivably could
be correct and that further destruc-
ton is to be expected.
Monday the RAF dropped 1890
tons of bombs on the German naval
base at Kiel where naval personnel
had been reported in revolt against
the Nazis. Other daylight bombers
struck at the launching platforms
of the buzz-bombs while American
planes hit airfields in France,
bombed Genoa in Italy, where Ger
many hints a new invasion is being
projected and at troop concentra-
tions in Yugoslavia.
Various military targets were
pounded for several days until on
Friday two powerful forces of bomb
ers totaling 5000 hit the Ploesti oil
field and smashed at the big syn
thetic plant at Merseburg, deep in
Germany. There were heavy ex-
plosions following the bombings, in
dicating satisfactory results.
On the diplomatic front in Europe
there were reports that Turkey is
about to sever relations with Ger
many and Bulgaria is said to have
approached the Allies indirectly to
see if something could be done
about making peace for the quaking

Chino Looks Forward
By Sun Fo. (John Ddu)

0y OuH 70. tJOHH Day.
This is a collection of speeches
and papers written by Sun Fo,
president of the legislative Yuan of
China and son of DR.. Sun Yat-sen.
The subject is China's place in the
world today and tomorrow. A great
variety of questions are dealt with
in the volume but. in the main, it's
purpose seems to be to answer the
criticism which has been made in
our country as to China's demo-
cratic status. Just why, of all our
Allies, China should be singled out
for reproach on this point has never
been properly explained, though, in
view of her unequaled record of re-
sistance to Fascist aggressor,
there could be said to be a sharp
need for explanation. But DR.. Sun
makes no reference to this incon-
sistency. On the contrary, he ad-
mits that the criticism has some
reason. The trouble has been that
China, fighting for her life, has just
not had time to set up a perfect
democratic state. Dr. Sun offers
this news rather apologetically.
He reminds his readers that his

by those planning for postwar Sc
curity is that national passions and
prejudices may be aroused to the
point, as they were in 1890, where
the project will become political
football. For that reason they are
reluctant to discuss for quotation
just how national forces would be
employed by an international body.
Yet, as they admit. the implications
OF the Moscow statement are plain
and any realistic Interpretation of
it must take into account obvious
geographical and military facts.
1t apparently means that if at
some future day revitalized Ger
many were to threaten Romania
with aggression, the matter would be
considered by the league (for want
OF a better name. If the league
found that Romania deserved pro-
! lection, the armed forces of Soviet
Russia. the nearest great power and
one with an obvious interest in the
matter, would be called on to do
the job. under league auspices.
Pros and Cons of Plan.
In like manner, it can be as
sumed, the United States would be
called on to protect any of the Latin
American republics that were
threatened or, perhaps, with the aid
OF Great Britain, it would come to
the defense of Canada.
| Great Britain and France would
be expected to use their power for
peace in Western Europe
China, assuming that after the de-
feat of Japan it becomes a first-rate
military power, might we'll become
the policeman" of Eastern Asia,
action under league auspices.
Such a plan, it is obvious, would
have many advantages over an in
ternational police force. For one
thing it would rely on the nation
with the most immediate national
interest in projected aggression to
be the first to go to the aid of a
victim, although it might later be
assisted by some other power or
powers.
At the same time, the plan would
have the weakness of human frail-
ties-selflshness and lust for power.
A situation can be envisaged where
one of the big nations might delib-
erately provoke an incident which
would offer it seeming justification
for checkmating. with league ap-
proval, an ambitious rival.
The same objection, however, can
be offered to almost any conceivable
plan for the use of military forces.
In the last analysis, the success or
failure of any project for world Sc
curity must rest upon the morality
of the peoples involved.
What such plan does offer is a
realistic hope that minded
powers will cooperate to check such
obviously aggressive programs as
those followed for years by Ger
many, Italy and Japan. If, in the
early 1930s. there had been such
effective corporation among the
United States, Great Britain, Russia
and China, the present war would
never have resulted.
