startled the world, is not solely the doings o
trained engineers. 1t is the result of the com
bined efforts of thousands of mcdestly placed
workers who in spite of the contrary evi
dence of wartime strikes are working fo1
victory as well as money, applying their in

nearer
It must also prove to Hitler that the mon
grel races he so despises, working under the
democratic system of government of which he
is so contemptuous, have achieved this mir
acle of production.
In his latest speech, Hitler uttered frantic
sounding plea to German workers Tor more
production to match this miracle. This is a
war of production and invention he told his
listeners German inventive genius is on the
lob and will triumph over all obstacles, he
promised.
But it is doubtful that either he or the Ger
mans believe that promise. With every bomb
that falls on factory and submarine pen and
rocket installation, with every plane that is
shot out of the air and every U-boat that is
sunk, the evidence is too strong to the con-
trary.

Guam

American forces in the Pacific are pounding

Never of great importance in the United States

Guam is forty miles south of Rota, its

the Japs from its small garrison of U. S. mill

Pearl Harbor attack. Because the United
States honored the terms of the Washington

The Stakes In Italy

Leghorn, Italy's third port, has been brought
under American artillery fire. Once taken, and
its early fall is obvious, Allied forces battling
Ke5selrn9s Germans will be able to pour
in men and materiel with which to crack
the Gothic line which stretches from Pisa and
Rimini. 1t is reported that the Gothic line
is not a defense in depth. If this is true
and the front crumbles another major re-
treat would seem to be Kesselring only logl-
/, cal strategy.
A part of the program in Italy, naturally,
: is ~ keep the Germans on the run and since
: the fall of Casino this has been carried out,
with the exception of the hold-or-die stand
recently made in the Leghorn and Florence
sectors The pressure of Allied arms in these
areas is becoming SO heavy and the Germans
are under such strain in Russia and France
that more reserves cannot well be spared
for service in Italy, it is apparent that Kes-
sering will not be able to hold much longer
and being good strategist is not liable to
leave his forces to die. Further flight north
ward is to be expected.
But keeping the enemy in flight is not the
whole program. 1t is but one phase Of the
battle in Italy. The most important phase,
the phase upon which the Allies are devot-
ing their chief effort, is the complete eradi-
cation Of all enemy troops in that country.
Only by eliminating them can they be kept
from joining other forces in the critical bat
tie of Europe where their additional strength
might well delay the ultimate victory over
Hitler.
Despite all that Allied planes have accom-
plished and the sabotage of the French under
ground Rommel has succeeded in getting
some twenty-five divisions into the Normandy
battle whereas he had portions OF only eight
when the invasion started As a result Mont
somery and Bradley are now only inching
along, If the remnants of Kesselrings forces
should escape from Italy and join Ronmel
the advance on Paris would be further slow
ed down. Or with the Russians already in
Poland and the march en- Warsaw actually
i'll progress, they might impose new bar
Ter athWart the Russian advance and so delay
the end of Naz power in that battle zone
The only completely successful Allied victory
in Italy must include the destruction Of all
Kesselring's forces by death or surrender.

violently. They ran all over, with
arms and heads going up and down

were thick with blood where sol.

What happened to the tank was
this: They had been firing away
at pillbox ahead when their rs
backfired, filling the tank with
smoke and binding them.
They decided to back up in order
to get their bearings, but after
backing a few yards the driver
was so blinded that he stopped.
Unfortunately there was another
German pillbox up the side street.
All the Germans had to do was
take easy aim and let 90 al the
sitting duck.
The first shot hit a tread. 50 the
tank couldn't move. That was when
the boys got out. l don't know why
the Germans didn't fire at them
as they poured out.

were excited, but they were as
jubilant as June-bugs and ready
for more. They had never been in
combat before the invasion OF Nor.

tank had been shot up three tunes.

was the fact thai they had left

tank was still right in line with the
