Turning Cattle Out to Grass

It is rather surprising to learn the immensity of the Governments grazing service. There is on the statute books the so-called Taylor Act that gave the Government power to use I42 million acres of land for grazing purposes. Nearly II million head Of livestock have been turned loose over this vast acreage.
 The Taylor Grazing Act is only ten years old, and it is doubtful whether the Con- gress that passed the measure ever inl- agined that it would create such huge system in stock-raising. It is ruled from Washington by a Director of Federal Grazing. The reports show that 22.O0O stockmen have been turning their cattle out to grass on Uncle Sasn's acres.

For such warfare Of move

Dog MOTOR Pool
43 Sled Dogs Hove

NOME, Alaska -U.P)- The
Army's strangest motor pool"
is stationed at this Far North
outpost. where 43 yelping sled
dogs are quartered in individual
dogheuses, each with its own
service record and serial num-
Der like every other G.. I.
Bosses of the canine motor
pool, officially known as the
Post (Quartermaster) Kennels,
are Cpl. Albert L. Warner of
White Cloud, Mich, who has
worked with dog teams for
more than two years, and
Blackie, eight years old, battle
Scared and disfigured by a tu-

Sound, north of Nome.
Another pair of corporals,
brother team, Joel and Rex
Thrasher of Gravette, Ark, help
care for the dogs, train them
and drive the teams when they
are sent out on various missions.
The dogs usually are worked
in a team of seven, consisting of
the lead dog and--paired off
behind him-two swing dogs,
two intermediates, and two
wheel dogs, the latter pair har-
messed directly in front of the
sled. Most of the Eskimos

but the Army bitches up the
lead dog so he works with the
rest.

came to Alaska In '98 and be-
came known as the Speed
King Of the Deward peninsula
for his swift dog teams. Mem
bers of this team, of doubtful
ancestry and from a strain bred
by Carey, are similar to Ger

Nazis guessing as to her next
point Of attack, and second. at
tain superiority at that point.
A new attack at the northern
end Of the line, not only can
bend back the German northern
flank but can isolate Finland
and force her out Of the war,
perhaps by starvation. II may
divert German forces from the
south, where the strategic stakes
are still higher, where further
Russian successes would lead
toward Rumania and the Balk-
ans, and take from the Nazis not
only oil but Allies.
MAY RETREAT FOR TIME
These two blows, north and
south, could force the already
embarrassed German center to
a very wide retirement. It
would have to yield at the i'm
portant Kiev salient and the al
ready periled vital railroad net
work beyond Cherkassy. They
probably would retreat to the
Bug. They might even use some
of the space remaining to buy
time, and fall back along the
line, to a position outlined by
the Dniester, the Carpathian
foothills, the Pripet marshes,
the Dwina and the Gulf of Riga.
Thus they would save the re-
serves they badly need for use
against the attacks they know
are coming-by British, Amei-
cans and French, all the way
from the Balkans around to the
English Channel, and then
again by the Russians following
the spring thaws.
During that period, from
March until May or June, the
Russian ground troops will need
rest. But the Red Air Force,
with further British-A
help whose nature cannot now
be specified, really can 60 to
work on East Prussia and the
Polish and Shesian industrial
areas, hitherto, but lightly hit.
With that preliminary soften
ing, the Red infantrymen can
resume the attack that will ush-
er in the most tremendous Sc
ries of battles In history.

The dogs life has many G. I.

One advantage they have
over other soldiers Is that they
