The Robot Menace

Making no effort to disguise the
true proportions Of the Nazi robot
bomb assault on England, Prime
Minister Churchill has told the
House of Commons that it is indeed
a serious menace and that the worst
may be yet to come: This is in
striking contrast to some earlier as
surances, presumably put out for
misguided morale-building purposes,
that the buzz bombs" had nothing
more than nuisance value.
Since the beginning of this GRIM
inally indiscriminate warfare on
June Is total of 5,340 robot bombs
have been fired at London and
Southern England. Many of them
presumably we're shot down over the
Channel or exploded harmlessly
in open spaces. But a sufficient
number got through to kill 4,735
persons, injure $4,000, destroy $1,000
homes and damage the amazing
total of 100000 additional dwellings.
These statistics tell a story that
is grim enough, but Mr.. Churchill,
with his customary candor. warned
there was a strong possibility that
the Nazis would use much heavier
and more destructive rockets against
Britain. He did not elaborate on
this, but Herbert Morrison, Minister
Of Home Security, indicated earlier
that British ofncials had some
inkling as to the nature Of these
still-secret weapons when he said
he knew about "a lot OF horrible
things"
The British, while awaiting new
instruments OF death and destruc-

american Expeditionary Force began
with ST. Nazaire and by the spring of
1918 were using Bordeaux, La Rochelle,
La Paiiice and Brest as well, and even
50 were compelled to build very extern
sive additional port facilities in most
OF those areas. The AEF also made
considerable use Of lie Havre, Nantes
and Marseille.
The smashing defeat Of the German
7th Army allowed us to break out OF the
Normandy Peninsula, We are using our
freedom OF action to take advantage OF
the opportunity afforded US by the
enemys Withdrawals from Brittany,
and our objective is almost certainly to
get hold Of the Breton ports, of which
Brest, Lorient, st. Nazaire, Nantes and
st. Malo are the most important. We
may not be able to get all of them
within the immediate future. Nantes
and st. Nazaire in particular lie on the
Loire, and would be of little value to US
while the Germans hold the south bank
OF that river even If we were able to
seize and hold the north bank, while
penetration south Of the Loire would
at present be pretty risky enterprise
for us unless it could be supported by .
new landing.
1t does not seem likely that the
Germans have many mobile troops In
Brittany. There are local defense gar
risons at all these ports, of course
BreSt and Lorient have been used by
the Germans as submarine bases, also
st. Nazaire. But the capture Of Rennes
cuts the main communications Of the
first two ports with the rest Of France,
and the possibilities of resistance by
isolated garrisons to full-scale attack
with modern weapons are strictly
limited. The garrison Of Rennes set an
example-by marching out under .
white nag to surrender-which the
others may follow, once they find them
selves besieged. II they do not, there
may be considerable fighting, but It
can have only one outcome Is long as
the Germans cannot bring troops
across the Loire into Brittany In great
strength. They will, In al probability,
attempt to do 20. Their success win
be partly conditioned on the rapidity
with which we are able to consolidate
our position between the Norman hills
and the Loire, and partly on the
weather, which governs to 20 great an
extent the ability Of our air force to
interfere with enemy troop movements,
Thus, while the fate Of the German
7th Army In Normandy still hangs IN
the balance. the battlefield widens and
the possibility arises that the next de-
cisiye engagements Of the second battle
Of France may b fought out in the

Himself

Lieutenant James B. Manning
thirty years Of age, has been re-
ported killed in the battle zone
near cherbourg in Normandy. The
announcement of his death carries
the statement that he was the Ma
tion's first selectee on November 18
1910. Whether it is true that he
was the earliest citizen drafted
under the defense program set up
IN advance of Pearl Harbor may be
open to doubt. The Star for the
date mentioned carried a story to
the effect that John Edward Law
ton, twenty-one, an unemployed
plumbers assistant in Boston, was
the first man In the United States
to be inducted."
OF course, the question is aca-
demic in character. It does not
matter who was the Number One
American to answer his country's
call in 1910 or at any other time.
The last to be summoned may be as
necessary as the first. No disttnc-
ton is made by the Army itself

Stripes, bars and medals mean little

moment, but which everybody in
stinctively feels.

Evening star., 1944-08-04

The second battle of France pro-
crosses rapidly and favorably. The fall
OF Rennes opens up whole new series
of strategic possibilities, and tends to
indicate our immediate objective: More
seaports.
In a recent article I suggested that
the thrust south from Avranches was
for the purpose OF flank protection.
At that time there was no indication
that 1t might be in sufficient strength
to reach deep into Brittany. But on
Thursday We were already in Rennes,
and in or near Dinan, controlling the
landward communications OF the port
Of st. Malo.
No man has said more emphatically
than Gen. Eisenhower that the primary
object in battle is the destruction of
the enemys armed forces. But here
we find, at q critical moment for the
German 7th Army. the detachment
OF . considerable American force dor
we are in strength at Rennes) on a
distant enterprise far from what seems
to be the main battlefield.
The answer is to be found In the fact
that the battle of Normandy is over;
we are fighting the second battle of
France. In Normandy, our only oppo-
nent was the German 7th Army: the
Germans did not dare to reinforce It
strongly until our ultimate intentions
were clearer. But there are in France
three other German armies: The 18th
Army in the Pas-de-Calais region
and the 1st and the 10th Armies
farther south. Assuming that one of
the latter must continue to guard the
Mediterranean coast, We have three
German armies to deal with as We ex-
pand our holdings in France and begin
to drive eastward toward the Rhine.
We managed to get in enough troops
and supplies over the beaches Of Nor
mandy and through the battered port
of Cherbourg to make one very strong
effort against the 7th Army, strong
enough to break out OF the Normandy
Peninsula and to place the 7th Army in
most precarious situation from which
1t may not be able to extricate itself.
But its ability to do 20 remains In
some doubt, and It would appear that
our primary objective In breaking out
was to take advantage OF the fact that
the Germans, In order to try TO contain
us In the Normandy Peninsula, had AZ
but denuded Brittany Of troops. Now
In order to wage war on large scale
In France we shall need more ports
than Cherbourg, even when 1t is fully
repaired. Remember that In the last
war the British army began With the
port Of lie Havre - their base, much
more commodious port than Cherbourg:
by February, 1917, they were using six
major ports-Le Havre, Dieppe.. Rouen,
Boulogne. DlnksfQue and Calais, with

In preceding articles I have tried to

There are no large.scale sltrrenders on

the latest reports received from that

This lack Of foresight on the part OF
the German high command, which, con-

Hitlers hands at all times, Is said to be
responsible for the decentralization Of
the German Army in the east.

The Coast Guurd

Ihe United States Coast Guard,
which today marks the 154th anni-
versary Of its founding. can review
with pride long and distin-
guished record. In time OF peace, 1t
works for the Treasury Department,
but when war clouds gather, 1t be-
comes an operating arm Of the regu-
lar Navy and never fails to do what
is expected Of 1t, and to do 1t well.
As far back as 1897. in the rather
shadowy struggle with France, its
cutters were In the thick Of the fray,
capturing l8 French vessels From
then to now, whenever the Nation
has had enemies to flght, Coast
Guardsmen have contributed more
than little to.victory. In the First
World War, proportionately speak
ing, they suffered heavier personnel
losses than any other branch OF the
American armed forces. Against the
Axis they have been In the forefront
of the battle. They helped land the
Marines at Guadalcanal, for example,
and they played a key role in
the invasions Of North Africa and
France. Their combat operations
since Pearl Harbor can be elaborated
upon at length, being more numer-
Gus and far-nung and daring than
at any time since the service was
created. But 1t is not for this alone
that the Coast Guard merits the
highest commendation. Less spec
tacular, but no less important, has
been Its work In patrolling beaches
and water fronts, in safeguarding
our ports from fire and sabotage and
in keeping vital ship trafiic on the
move, As in peacetime, its respon-
sibilities now are many and varied,
but much more urgent In character,
and 1t is discharging them with dash
and distinction. On its l54th birth

can people, all who have the honor
to serve in it-including its women's
