The story of a secret force
that is armed and ready to
join our boys in the final
battle against the Nazis

TNIs is the inside story of Frances Silent
Il Army. An army some of whose members
fight with guns, some of whom fight only with
their bare hands. An army which can make
the difference between victory and defeat;
which can mean life instead of death to thou
sands of American soldiers when Allied armies
reach Western Europe.
As the war enters its final phase, millions
of our American boys will meet and join
with this Silent Army. This is preview of
what they can expect to find.
The Silent Army is no longer sprawling
moo- -ordmated, undisciplmed force The last
several months have seen it slowly mature
into real military organization. 1t is divided
into two parts - the soldiers without uni
forms) and the resisters. Here are some of
the facts:
1. In the hills and mountains of France
are the soldiers of the "maquis." Two hum
dred thousand trained men are ready to turn,
in full strength. on the Nazis when the time
is ripe.
Z. Throughout France, there are thousands
of other former French soldiers who wait only
for arms to join their comrades.
J. On the French home front, over SO per
cent of the 100000 men. women and

Interpreting
The War
BY KIRKE L. SIMPSON
Associated Press War Analyst

London reports suggest an I'M
pending significant change in AL
lied pre- invasion technique that
could be the curtain raiser for the
final air action to open up cont.
mental beachheads or sea-borne
Anglo-American troops.
British night-flying heavy bomb
ers laid off for the first time in
the nonstop assault and American
wei ght carriers shifted their day.
light operations from strategic to
tactical targets. T h ey were just
over the Channel from their bases
in Britain, beating at invasion
coast targets in the Calais area.
Weather conditions could account
for what seemed partial lull on
the 18th consecutive day of the pre-
invasion aerial barrage. There was
no hint of storms or bad weather,
however, and the relative lull in
long range operations from Britain
could have quite another signifi-
canoe. 1t could mark regrouping
and re-equipment of planes for the
mass air attack in support of
ground troops stabbing into the
German Atlantic Wall defenses IN
der cover of a giant air umbrella.
That will come one day. It will
be the supreme test of air powers
ability to d e effectively with
coastal defense raised to the nth
degree by years Of t oil since
France and the low countries fell
before German conquerors. T h e
problem faced by General Eisen-
hover and his staff calls for that.
There would be no reasonable hope
of an Allied break through with
out sky-flooding fleets of planes to
lead the way.
How long h concentration of
thousands of Allied air- units
against the Nazi coastal defense
area and the hinterland commune
cations may be destined to run,
when it does start, is beyond con-
lecture. Not ev e the men who
have planned it can be certain al
though they now have definite pre-
liminary results to guide their ex-
pectationc.
That is reflected in the comment
of a London spokesman that Ger
man communications already had
been wrecked badly from the
Rhine to the mouth of the Loire.
He pictured belt 100 miles deep
from the continental coast and
reaching from Cologne to the Bay
of Biscay in which rail commune
cations already had been so bomb
mauled that none but first priority
enemy war traffic could move.
The zone the London spokesman
described covers virtually t h e
whole invasion coast of France and
the Low Countries. It is 500 miles
or so air line from Cologne to Nam
ties via Paris, and roughly that
line lies 100 miles in from the
North Sea and Channel coasts, with
the Dover Calais narrows about
in the center.
What remains is the final con-
centrated pounding n d it may
have started. Carried to its logical
conclusion of devastating every rail
hubb, it could add not hours but
days to the time it would take the
enemy to move powerful reinforce
ments into the main invasion thea
ter from reserve eschelons in the
rear.

IS that when the men are thor
oughly trained and well equipped,
then they are no longer bewildered
civilians filled with anxiety and
stage-fright about a task they dc
not understand and to which they
feel inadequate. They feel their
own power. Individually they are
IN condition of physical well.
oe1ng and buoyancy which no civil
ian, except perhaps an athlete in
training knows anything about;
they are preoccupied with their
part of a complicated task, and
they can feel the laundering
weight with which their weapons
speak. That is the true substance
OF morale, which then in the shock
ana tension of the battle becomes
incandescent.
Since the men are not mechan-
lcal robots, the state of mind which
the conditioning and training pro-
duce is sustained only if they then
get a chance to do what they have
prepared themselves to do. Wait.
ing around too long, going through
routlnes which are like endless
gymnastic exercises, not seeing the
connection between what they are
doing and. what is happening any
where else, warming up forever
and never getting into the game.
this is the kind of thing which
undermines morale, especially the
morale of Americans who are for
the most part exceptionally highly
strung, impatient and easily bor-
ed.
The morale of the division which
l have been visiting is superb. Yet
it passed, so I was told, through
some very dreary times, when it
seemed to be going through the
motions of a phony war, before it
got its present conviction that it
possesses power, and that it
knows how to WELD it, which can
cause the very ground to tremble
where it intends to advance.
The morale of the American
civilian population is governed, it
seems to me, by a similar princi-
pie. 1t is excellent, all things con-
sidered, among those wo have a
hard and definite job to do which
they know how to do. 1t is not
very attractive among those who
haven't enough to do or find them
selves doing useless jobs or jobs
they feel they are not doing very
well. Every one who went to Eng
land in the period after Dunkerque
was deeply impressed with the
mood of the civilian population.
Mr.. Churchills great speeches had
a part in it, the awful danger
which was so imminent had
great part in it. But what counted
the most, SO it seemed to me, in
steadying the nerves of the people
and in giving them such a noble
serenity of spirit was the fact that

yes, and woman-had neces-
sary job to do.
Our trouble is that because we
did not absolutely have to do it
our public men did not have the
insight and resolution to mobilize
the whole adult population. They
have left large numbers of our
people outside the greatest under.
taking in which the nation has
ever been engaged, and people who
feel they are not needed in war
soon begin to complain about tri-
files as if somehow the war itself
were not needed. When all the ar
guments have been exhausted
about man power, the draft and
national service the injury done
to the people by not establishing
universal obligation and afford
ding them definite opportunities to
participate, is the deepest and
most lasting.
Politicians may be experts on
human nature in time of peace.
But in war they have not been
expert at all. They have proceeded
on the wholly false assumption
that our people wanted to sit in
the grandstands as spectators
while their sons went out to meet
the enemy and that the less they
asked of the civilian voters the
more popular they would be when
they ran for office.
This is not so. What the people
want, though they do not all real
ize it when they write complain
ing letters to Congressman, is to
be pulled out of themselves and
called upon to do hard things and
drawn in, not left outside-Warm,
well fed and unhappy-while the
fate of the nation is being decided.

POPULARITY OF "The Waltz

dieus- Johann Strauss music is
such that it is being held for a
fourth week, starting Sunday
afternoon.
Victor Carell will sing the role
of Strauss. around whose roman
tic ramblings with an actress and
mannequin the story of the
operetta is built. Carell, Aus
tralian baritone, is in every way
fitted to the part of the Viennese
composer whose melodies are as
pleasing to the ear today as when
they set the Austrian capital of
an earlier generation WALKING
Margit Bokor is both decora-

wife of Strauss who never takes
his philandering too seriously.
Other principals are Anthony
