bers think the coverage should be

Those opposing any action declare
that property owners have no right
to ask for a refund because the in

able, that property owners were
demanding protection at the time
they secured 1t through the War
Damage Corp, that policyholders
got the protection they wanted and
paid for and that the Government

Home Owners Told
Not to Poke Furnaces

AS winter breaks into variable
weather during the next few weeks,
home owners will be banking their
coal fires in an effort to maintain
a stable home temperature.
Poking or stirring mixes ashes
with unburned coal to form clinkers.
This generally may be avoided by
not poking the fire. In addition, the
smoke pipe should be checked to be
sure it is not protruding past the
inside wall of the chimney, as such
faulty connection reduces efficiency
of the draft.

Richard Law, son of former Brit
ish Prime Minister Bonar Law, to
the U. IA. is to confer on post
war peace machinery.
Events have been moving SO fast
toward peace that it's an unfortun-
ate but unacceptable fact that peace
plans haven't kept up with war
plans. The State Department was
reused out of its rut last summer
by the B2 HI Senators, but &C
tually little has been done to work
out comprehensive postwar peace
machinery with Great Britain and
Russia
Official reason for Richard Laws
visit is to discuss postwar petrol
cum arrangements between the
United States and Great Britain.
This in itself is important. Oil is
a great breeder of war, and SO, If
the two biggest oil-producing, oil
using countries can work together
as a team regarding world oil, a
lot of headaches will be alleviated.
After Richard Law finishes his
oil talks, he will stay on to talk
about peace machinery and will
be joined by Lord Beaverbrook
Diplomatic gossip is that Churchill
considers Law too liberal and is
sending Beaverbrook to keep him
from giving the Empire away.

made several months after Stain
grad during the early winter Vi
1913. The peace proposal was made
by the japanese Ambassador IN
Moscow, who, being neutral, was
in a position to lay the matter be-
fore Foreign Minister Molotoff.
Just what was in the Nazi olive
branch is not definitely known,
though Hitler was reported ready to
give back to the Russians all OF
their pre-l939 territory except the
Ukraine
Molotoff is reported to have torn
up the offer and thrown it into
the waste-basket.
Nazi peace offer number 2 was
made in the summer of 1913 in a
villa on the outskirts of Stockholm.
IT was made by Hans Thomson,
German ambassador to Sweden and
former charge deaffaires in Wash
ington. Thomson, who speaks per-
feet English, was born of a Nor
wegian father, and married Hun
garian, who was openly bitter
against Hitler and con t a n tt y
damned him at Washington dinner
parties. Washington host esses
never knew whether Frau Thorn
sen really hated Hitler or was
putting on an act to show that
there could be freedom of express
sion among Germans.
At any rate, Hitler later gave hel
husband a position of great trust
as his own personal interpreter
then sent him to Sweden, where
Thomson handled the peace dis
cussion with the Russians.
The Stockholm olive branch alst
was rebuffed by the Russians
though they didn't hesitate to lie
the Allies know that something
like this was being talked about
even intimated that, if the secont
front wasn't opened before long
the next olive branch might b,
more acceptable.

days of fighting the Americans bur-
led 1,474 of their own dead, but
buried 4.951 Japanese. This does
not count lot of dead the Japanese
buried themselves to conceal their
losses.
Subsequently in Washington, the
Navy announced that at the close
of all organized opposition on Sal
pan, American dead totalled 1859
and the Japanese IL ,498-a ratio of
almost to l.
Military thinkers additionally
have figured that an attacking force,
striking well-dug-in enemy, would
suffer three times as many casual
ties as the defending force. On
Saipan, American firepower was so
great that the defending Japanese
paid approximately to in casual
ties against the attacking and more
exposed Americans.

Soldiers have no doubts about
what firepower means and recognize
its implications instantly Germans
surrendering on the Normandy bat
tlefields may be cocky when they
give UP, but by the time they have
marched to the rear through the
acres of heavy stuff the Americans
are bringing up, they often are
Respondent. They realize that Allied
armies there have such firepower
superiority that the German battle
is hopeless. This reaction by sur
rendering Germans has been re-
ported many times.
From Normandy, AP correspond
ent Don Whitehead reported that
during a minute of the drive on
st. Lo he tried to count the de-
donations of American heavy guns
firing from his positions. He said
he gave up when the count reach
20, and the explosions were coming
so fast they mingled.
Firepower includes everything
that goes bang rifles, grenades.
mortars, big and little artillery,
rockets and aerial bombs. The
more you send the enemy the less
he can hit back and the sooner he'll
quit.
Big Guns Hub to Hub
But the big stuff is increasingly
important in this war, as example,
fled by the Russians who mass
their artillery almost hub to hub
for miles when they start a big
drive.
This is why the War Department
has ordered an increase of several
hundred pei. cent in the production
of heavy shells. The announced
purpose is to provide unprecedented
massed firepower for American
forces In combat zones.
Another reason is that you can
replace the tons and tons of shells
fired on the enemy. You can't re-
place the men.
