Canadians Spare Civilians

GONE $4,000 CIVILIANS of
- Dunkerque were given an
opportunity to leave the port be-
fore the Canadians began heir
assault.
By arrangement, a truce per-
mitted the civilians to get out of
the besieged city and it was ex-
tended to give the Germans time
to blow up bridges and to relay
mines after the civilians had
passed over the road out of the
town.
This is an interesting sidelight,
rejecting credit upon the Ca
madam leaders. Obviously, the
presence of civilians in Dunkerque
would handicap the German gar
rison. Whatever the incident re-
veals as to Canadian solicitude for
civilians, it does not Indicate a
sudden German conversion.
We know of no particular occa-
sion upon which the Germans have
shown consideration for the well
fare of civilians, caught in the
maelstrom of war. Certainly,
when the presence of civilians in
terfered with the efficient opera
ton of Allied armies, the Ger
mans have ruthlessly used civilians
to improve their chances of sue
cess.

Danes Bid
Reluctant Farewell

When the Germans moved
armed forces into Denmark, the
Danes received them reluctantly.
When the Germans, pressed on
several fronts recently, tried to
remove these forces, the Danes
let them go the same way. One
German division is said to have
been delayed 16 days, according
to the Danish Listening Post. On
freight train departing from
Copenhagen, Danish saboteurs
forced the crew to stop the train
and disconnect four cars belong
ing to the German army, before
the train was allowed to continue
its journey. In other cases 1.-THE
saboteurs bombed and machine
gunned German trains.

Give The Army Time
THE AMERICAN people

THE AMERICAN people are
usually over-optimistic or, on
the other hand, too pessimistic.
This applies to the present war
situation. There is no adequate
basis for the current depression in
hopes except that, once the army
began rolling in Europe, we
counted on the motion to be per-
petual.
Campaigns are not always in
fast movement. There must be
pauses. The fundamental truth is
that the power that produced the
astounding victory in France will
be sufficient to gain a similar
triumph on the borders of Ger
many.
Let's give the generals and the
doughboys little time!

By EDWIN SHANKE
Associated Press Bureau Chief

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 28.-Delay-
ed)- up -Hitler's official newspa-
pers have revealed that the Nazis
regard their flying bomb, "and
other secret weapons to come" as
their final bid for victory because
they foresee German war re-
sources weakening fast.
Discussing developments of weap-
ons in this war, Voelkischer Beo-
bachter declared the flying bomb
opened the third phase in the
wars technical advance.
1t bears the German imprint, -
the newspaper said. Tt promises
us final victory for there won't be
fourth phase. Strength of nations
engaged in the toughest of warfare
for five years won't last
1t certainly is true that German
strength won't last much longer,
especially because the Allies are
freeing more of the territory which
the Germans occupied and exploit
ed to keep their war machine rum
ming E V d e n c e of Germany's
strained economic and agricultural
position is piling up daily.
Recently the Wehrmacht warned
that Germans who take parts, in
struments or raw materials from
fallen Allied planes will be regard
ed as plunderers and saboteurs
against the Army, with a heavy
punishment in store for them.
Railways, battered by incessant
Allied air attacks, are struggling
to keep Hitler's armies at all ends
of Europe in supplies. Sunday pas
senger traffic has been cancelled
and permission is required to travel
further than go miles by rail. Par
ents are forbidden to visit their
evacuated children.
The condition of rolling stock is
so bad that German state railways
have been compelled to advertise
daily for firms which can handle
repairs. The press has been obliged
to print warnings against frivo-
lous destruction, because the sabo-
tage of porcelain insulators carry
ing telegraph wires along the rail-
way right of ways has hampered
and endangered traffic.
On two short stretches of track
near Hamburg more than 1000 of
these insulators were destroyed in
the last year.
The shortage of metals has grown
so acute that a decree was publish
ed requiring the registration of all
organ pipes, including those in

churches, preparatory to confisca-
ton.
Destruction Of German synthetic
petrol plants has reduced the Nazi
fuel supply to point where at
the front gasoline has become
such an urgent need that not a
single drop more than is really
necessary may be used anywhere,
the Essener National Zeitung said.
Clothes also have grown skimpy.
Children and war workers, provid-
ed they prove real need, n d
bombed out persons can now OBJ
tain new clothes. Others have been
requested to send their winter
clothes to Belgium for patching.
A woman at Goettingen was SEN
fenced to death because she coaxed
her husband, who was collecting
old clothes, to keep some before
turning them over to the authori-
ties.
But even more Threatening than
such worries is the growing danger
of food shortage, because Hitler
is losing one after another of the
granaries he depended on to keep
his armies and his people fed.
The latest blow was the loss of
Romania's wheat.
Nazi farm leaders are restrained
on the whole about the harvest in
Germany proper and, unlike pre-
vious years, are making no predic.
tons that the food, supply is secure.
In general, newspaper articles
declare that German farmers will
have to replace losses by increas-
ing the yield per acre, but by their
own admission the Germans have
reached the absolute limit of their
vegetable oil acreage-600, 900 hec-
tares. At the same time they con-
cede that milk deliveries this year
are behind last years.
The continued dropping of false
ration cards by the Allies is fur
Their upsetting the German food
economy and obiging heavier pun
ishments. not only for the users
but also for the storekeepers who
sell the goods.
The Nazis are also attempting to
counter :. act the gloomy food out
look with sharpened controls,
Special details have been assign
ed by Heinrich Himmler to break
the black market. Heavier pres
sure has been exerted on produc-
ers not only to fulfil the quotas
imposed on them but to exceed
them.
Himmler has also taken steps to
protect the harvest against fire and
Allied raids. Within recent months
reports from Germany said Allied
aircraft have destroyed great
many canning factories in the Mag
deburg area, causing shortage of
timed goods for the Army.
