Paris is but q way station to
Berlin and may be by-passed. but
1t appears today the most likely
captive capital to be liberated
next.
There are many possible roads
to Paris, for Northern France is
a web Of railways and hard-sur-
faced highways. There are no
mountains. The region is inten-
sively farmed, irregularly wooded.
The highest elevation Is not more
than $50 feet above sea level.
The Loire River leads in from
the west, and the Seine directly
from the English Channel. The
valleys Of both rivers are invita-
tions to an army, as Is the Rhone
Valley, which extends northward
from the Mediterranean coast.
To the north, a variety of
choice faces the Allies. From
lie Havre (another fine port)
the coast Is bordered by cliffs
up to the Somme River. From
this estuary to Boulogne the
coast Is low. but the cliffs resume
above Boulogne and continue
north beyond Calais.
From Calais to the Belgian
border the coast becomes low
again, but stretches of sand are
complicated by marshes, much
the same as the coasts OF Bel
gium and Holland beyond.
Most of the French coastal
cliffs are fairly low and covered
with soil. They can be nego-
tiated by ground troops but the
landing and prompt use of heavy
equipment would be dif{icult.

vention the Democrats have selected
two new figures. Gov. Robert s.
Kerr of Oklahoma is to be tempor-
ary chairman and keynote speaker,
and Senator Samuel D. jackson of
Indiana. the permanent chairman.
Neither has been identified with ma
tional politics in the past. Gov.
Kerr has a reputation as a caustic
speaker. 1t will be his job, it Is ex-
pected. to take the Republican
Dewey-Bricker ticket apart.
Play Up Feminine Angle.
The Democrats have also dupl-
Gated the Republicans In inviting
feminine participation in their ma
tional convention. Indeed, they have
gone q bit farther and invited two
women to address the convention,
whereas the Republicans had only
one, Mrs. Glare Booth Luce. The
Democratic women speakers will be
Mrs. Helen Geohagan Douglas, a
candidate for the House in Cali
fornia and widely known actress,
and Mrs. Charles w. Tillett of North
Carolina, chairman of the women's
division of the national committee.
Apparently 1t Is the purpose of
the Democrats to get through the
work of the convention as speedily
as possible. The recent Republican
Convention set new record, COM
pleting its work in three days. The
Democrats are opening their con-
vention In the middle of q week,
which is also unusual.
The Democratic platform will
take some real work. It has been
suggested that 1t be kept short
even to a couple of hundred words,
In contrast to the Republican plat
form which runs 1000 or 5000
words. However, with foreign and
domestic issues pressing today, the
country will expect the Democrats to
state their platform fully.
An effort to change the rules OF
the Democratic National Conven-
ton back to the old, traditional
two-thirds vote necessary for nomi-
mating presidential and vice presi-
DENTAL candidates will be made by
delegations from the Southern
States. There seems little chance
OF success for this change. The ma
tional convention Of 1895 abandoned
the two-thirds rule and adopted q
majority rule. The Southerners in
sist that the two-thirds rule was
their safeguard, since 1t gave them
a virtual veto power against any
candidate who might be considered
hostile to their section Of the coun-
try. Further, they maintain that
the Democrats of the South who
have been faithful to the party year
u and year out, are entitled 70 such

Nazi Collapse Predicted
As Defeat Feeling Grows
By Constantine BrO,cn.

Inc German military machine
still Is in good shape. The Nazis
are fighting hard and we'll. With
the exception of the highly i'm.
portant air coverage, which is lack
ing, their equipment is adequate.
The high command has been EN-.
cient since the day Hitler gave ur

lunches"
Yet there are few American mil
itary men who have q hand in the
conduct Of the war who believe
Germany Is not about to crack up
The wall in the west remains strong
but nowhere near strong enough to
Withstand the Allied assaults. In
the east. the Germans have evacu-
ated important "moats" and are
rapidly Withdrawing toward their
main lines which are on the borders
of East Prussia. What will happen
when the Russians begin their Of
fensive from Lwow to Brest-Litovsk
where the Germans have prepared
their main defenses, is not known.
In the south, the Allied campaign
in Italy is drawing to an end. We
expect to reach the Pisa-Rimini line
this month. As soon as we get to
the section OF Italy which was ear
marked last year-as the boundary
Of our military operations in Italy
another major offensive In another
part Of Southern Europe must be
expected. The Germans are getting
ready to resist another onslaught
against the European stockade.
The chief reason SO many OF our
military men believe the Reich's
military machine may collapse be-
fore many months have passed Is
that regardless Of how strong the
walls may remain, the heart Of the
defenders cannot continue to be
firm when they realize that tho war
is lost.
Can't Remain on Defensive
Whether the rank and file Of the
German Army realizes this Is q
debatable question. But the general
staf1, the army corps, divisional and
regimental commanders, all trained
professional men, must awake to the
fact that no nation in the world has
been able to remain on the defensive
without counting disaster. This Is
even more true, as far as the Reich
Is concerned. The Germans are
contained in a limited land area
which they must defend in the west,
south and east against forces ex-
ceeding their own by at least 2 to /.
And while the military potential
Of the Allies-particularly that Of
the United States and the U. s. 8. r..
is very great and is increasing as
the war goes on, the military po-
tential of the Germans and their
hard-hit satellites is decreasing.
Even the determination to fight
aroused by despair cannot last long,
when there is no hope Of an i'm
provement of the military situation.
The realization Of the German
generals that there can be little hope
Of obtaining even stalemate must
have had a depressing effect on the
field commanders who naturally are
now willing to blame the Austrian

Vice President Wallace has the
backing of the CIO. It has been
estimated that perhaps 800 of the
delegates are already committed to
his reorganization, one way or an

of the necessary number to nomi-
