Two great Russian of fenses are under way. One is driv ing at Rzhev, the loss of which Hitler is reported to have told his generals would be comparable to the loss of half of Berlin. The other was directed at the German thrust toward Stalingrad. Internal dissension as well as Allied blows and propaganda in Italy have led observers to specu late on an Italian collapse in the near future. It is time for the Fuehrer to recall the remark at tributed to Napoleon; “If Italy is your enemy, you must send one or two divisions to hold her; if she is neutral, you must detail three , divisions to watch her; if she is your ally, you must send ten di- vi.sions to reseue her.” Round three of the Solomons battle last week ended when Jap- '• anese warships and transports, making another desperate bid to land reinforeements on Guadal canal, were caught in the darkness and smashed by an American Navy task force. At the cost of one Ameriean cruiser, nine enemy ves sels were sunk. No enemy came ashore. “The battle of Washington,” as the struggle between armament production and manpower alloca tion has been called, reached a ])oint where it was finally carried to the White House. President Roosevelt told the disputants that it w'ould be settled promi)tly, and apparently Donald Nelson won out over General Somervel. As the battle still rages in Tuni- SERVICE MEN EAST ROCK Pvt.

Saint Mary’s wmuld be glad to co-operate, but I don’t think the school should do it on its own.” The Saint Mary’s School Gk® Club, with Miss Geraldine Caki director, gave a program of Christ' mas music in the auditorium HoD' day night for the Raleigh Musk Club and Saint Mary’s student bodj' Miss Nancy Rose Poe, soprano, a®' sisted, and Miss Ruth Holmes Scott was accompanist.
