IQualiers and Rations
For Soldiers on Duty
In Capital Cancelled
BY MIRIAM OTTENBERG.

The military district of Washing
ton has notified most Of It's enlisted
personnel here that effective ..this
month the men no longer win be
paid 4 quarters and rations allow
ance, amounting to more than 800 q
month, but will have the option Of
moving into barracks or trying to
live In Washington on an enlisted
mans pay, 1t was learned today.
The men, many of whom have
been stationed here for two or more
years and are living with their fam
lilies, have been receiving $3.05 a day
resulting in a total of approximate
ly $4,000 q month.
The order, which was limited tt
Washington, was issued June 20 ant
became effective July I. A number
of the men, according to reports
circulating among them, already
had paid their July rent.
Although most men stationed In
Washington military of1ices were
affected Immediately, enlisted mer
assigned to District selective service
headquarters were not included on
the original list but are expected tc
be taken OF quarters and rations
allowance August l.
Among the groups affected were
enlisted men in the Pentagon ano
MDW headquarters, the motor pool
the armed forces induction station
at Fort Myer. Va, and small de-
tachments in q number Of other
military ofices, most Of them doing
clerical work. Generally, the men
are among the older soldiers not flt-
ted for overseas duty, 1t was said.
Although an MDW spokesman
said there was plenty Of housing
available in barracks. men who
started moving into barracks this
week complained the beds were
crowded together.
Under the order, 1t was learned,
men who are married and living
with their families still can be given
81 cents a day for rations under an
April, 1914, order.
Single men don't get the 81 cents
a day. Quarters and mess, accord
in gto the order, will be provided for
them as 1t will for the married me
but any Of the men who prefer to
can continue to live at home-with-
out the $305 a day.
MDW spokesmen declined to dis
cllSs the order.

SUPREME ALLIED HEAD
QUARTERS, July THE Allied
invasion Of France has not lived
up to the expectation of many
Of its planners, who had esti-
mated the assault would pro-
eress more rapidly than it has.
Ofacers made no secret Of this to-
day but at the same time hastened
TO say that the western front. after
one month Of fighting, could not
be described as '"unsatisfactory."
After all, We have landed and
established q front, and a month
ago We were none too sure We could
do that" one ofncer said.
That progress has been slow Is
attributed to q number OF reasons
by various ofiicers. The chief rea-
son that emerges Is that the Ger
mans have fought 'fanaticaly Tor

Worst Weather in Is Years.
The worst June weather IN Is
years blocked the Allies from using
air superiority to the full extent
and a Channel gale caused consid-
cradle damage in unloading opera
tions.

Erwin Rommel has been able to
bring up reserve divisions although
under great difficulty and now prog
ress will be extremely costly.
Statements in Moscow newspapers

they have proof that German divi-
sions assigned to the Russian front
have appeared In France and the
Allied western front comes close to
engaging and tying up the SO to 90

Crack Tank Units in Action.
Moreover, an unusually high per-
centase Of divisions are crack tank
units, particularly In the Caen sec
tor where seven panzer divisions al

It is probable that Hitler has from
one-third to one-half Of his tank
divisions already earmarked for the
battle in the west.
Only one great thrust which
would achieve a big breakthrough
into the open behind the Germans
has a chance for making up lost
time. And with the terrific amount
Of armor around the bridgehead,
this can only be achieved after the
biggest armored battle in the history
Of Western Europe.

Even as a bluff it did injure
American morale and it risked
the seizure of the roads. which
may be read abroad as indication

now is for labor and every other

LABORS RESPONSIBILITY

After all the critics of General

about the rail crisis aiding the

statement remains like a noun.
tain when the storm passes. The
fact is that labor disputes, what
ever the provocation, do weaken
the war effort. They do run the
risk of prolonging the fighting
and the casualty lists.
AS Roscoe Drummond points
out. the General was deploring
the situation. not blaming the sit.
uation on labor. But unless the
President was wrong in Selling
the railways, the main RESPONSE
bility in this case goes back to
the unions. And good may come
from the incident if workers are
awakened to their share O f the
blame for homefront strife.
1t is true that the vast majority
of workers have shown a high
degree of patriotism and have CO.
operated in ways which ought to
be m ore widely appreciated.
When praise is accorded industry
for the remarkable achievements
of American war production it
should be recognized that labor
is vital part of industry. The
devotion of millions of workers

ton victory possible.
But in the public mind the pic

by refusing to work on vital war
material until they get their
price. Other producing groups

by blocking price controls and
clipping quality-for hig h e r
prices. And many an average
citizen strikes against the war
effort by chiseling on gasoline or
aiding the black markets. Yet
trying to justify one failure by
another is working in the wrong
direction.

its effects. The claim of t h e
