Released by Western Newspaper Union. CHINA: Fighting Back The Japs learned something more of the Chinese ability to fight back s the defenders of the Hangchow- Nanehang railway front wiped out three weeks of the enemy's gains In a concentrated drive that netted them a 25-mile wedge into Jap lines plus two important towns. In this fighting in eastern Kiangsi province the Jap was virtually cleared out of the southeast Cheki ang coastal area and the Chinese recaptured the two vital ports of Julian and Wenchow. Taking the Japs by surprise, the Chinese captured several villages along the railway before smashing through to the coast. Continual thin ning out of Jap garrisons in the new ly occupied regions of Kiangsi and Chekiang provinces helped the Chi nese in their victories, according to military experts on the scene. This thinning out was viewed as being most important for some sources indicated strongly that troops leaving the area were headed for Inner Mongolia. And this was inter preted as meaning that preparation for the long expected Jap invasion of Russia was actually making head way. But the Chinese were intent on keeping their minds on the task at hand regaining the entire 403-mile Kangchow-Nanchang railway and refused to be diverted entirely by the movement to Inner Mongolia. The official communiques from Chungking said that attacks all along the line were in full swing and hinted that the Jap positions were far from secure. EGYPT: Air W'arfare This is Maj. A. F. Kalberger of North Hollywood, Calif., who led the attack of the V. 8. army's four motored bombers on the Italian fleet In the central and eastern Medi terranean sea recently. It was the first participation by V. S. air forces In that theater of war. In Egypt Nazi Marshal Rommel's drive for Alexandria and Suez had been slowed down for over two weeks and the British were busily at work keeping his hard-hitting forces off balance. Then the word began to sift through to the outside world that the TJ. S. army air forces were also In there pitching and bombing. For It was announced from Cairo that Maj. Gen. Lewis Brereton had as sumed command over these U. S. forces in the Middle East and for some time been directing a series of terrific bombing raids on the chief Axis supply ports of Tobruk and Bengasi. In driving through to establish himself some 65 miles to the west of Alexandria, Rommel had danger ously extended his supply and com. munication lines. It was the job of the United Nations to harass such supply and communication ac tivities with all possible fervor. Not only were American planes blasting the Axis forces, but the British had called into action many of their navy planes to fight against the land based enemy. Meanwhile on the ground British Imperial and Axis land forces bat tled back and forth for new foot holds on the barren wastes near El Alamein. Tanks and truck-borne in. fantry tangled day in and day out in the non-ending fury of desert war fare that is Egypt in mid-summer, 1942. General Brereton bad been in command of American air forces in India and came to the western des ert area with large numbers of big four-motored high-altitude bombers. He described these as being more than suitable for action on the Egyp tian front because of the cloudless skies. An announcement from his headquarters indicated that the U. S. bombing units were depending on RAF facilities and ground crews to keep their ships flying. He spoke of splendid "RAF co-operation" and said that "we also depend on the RAF for intelligence . . RUSSIAN FRONT: Bloodiest Battles When Russian troops evacuated Voroshilovgrad, largest city in the Don basin, it was plain that the Ger man drive southeastward along the Donetz river was threatening to Join Nazi troops striking near Millerovo along the railway leading to Rostov, 100 miles to the south. A Soviet communique said that, aside from the loss of Voroshilov grad, the Russian army still was in flicting heavy blows on the Germans in two other areas. At Voronezh, from where the Nazis were thrust ing eastward toward the Volga riv er, the Russians killed 1,000 more Germans and blasted a path into an other town which the Germans had captured in their initial break through. The main Nazi drive south of Millerovo also was slowed up. The Russians now are defending an east-west line situated north of the Pervozvanovka-Likhaya-Stalin-grad railway, which is approximate ly 75 miles north of Rostov. A Russian dispatch stated that American and British built tanks as well as planes were bolstering the Red lines in the imperiled south. A second war bulletin said that the Nazis lost 211 planes in the previous week's fighting. Russian losses were placed at 136 planes. Reports indicate that the battles in the lower Don basin are as bloody as the world has ever known. The extreme southern section was the scene of the most furious fighting, placing Rostov in grave danger. ALEUTIAN: Blind Man's Buff For more than a thousand miles through the fog-shrouded waters of the Aleutian islands, a mammoth game of blind man's buff is being played between American air and naval forces and the Japanese in vaders who may be preparing a major push against continental North America. Bad as well as good news con cerning the fortunes of this grim game was contained in reports from the Aleutian sector. On the debit side was the navy's announcement that at the same time they landed at Attu and Kiska, the Japs also occupied a third island Aggatu, 750 miles west and slightly north of the United States base at Dutch Harbor, on unaiaska. On the credit side was a com munique revealing that the landings on the three small islands had cost the Japanese 13 ships sunk or danv aged. This total included one heavy cruiser, three destroyers and a troop-laden transport sunk and an aircraft carrier, four cruisers and three destroyers damaged. me communique disclosed that the Dutch Harbor base was attacked twice on June 3 and 4, instead of once, and that in the second raid an old United States station shin. the Northwestern, which had been beached and converted to use as a barracks, had been destroyed. 1 ni" I lip?"! in it " $ LONDON.

SELECTIVE SERVICE: Line-Up Local draft boards were author ized to consider registrants for selection on the basis of a new memorandum released by national headquarters of selective service. Following is the order in which such registrants will now be called under the new plan: (1) single men with no dependents; (2) single men who do not contribute to the war effort but who have dependents; (3) single men with dependents and who contribute to the war effort; (4) married men who are not engaged in the war effort but who maintain a bona fide family relationship with a wife only; (5) married men who are engaged in the war effort and who maintain a bona fide relation ship with a wife only; (6) married men who are not engaged in the war effort and who maintain a bona fide relationship with wife and chil dren or with children only; (7) mar ried men who are engaged in the war effort and who maintain a bona fide family relationship with wife and children or children only. "In all cases the dependency status must have been acquired prior to December 8, 1941, and at a time when induction was not im minent," the announcement said. VlXOldh mm DREW PEARSON n levy; Washington, D. C. PROFESSOR VS. SUBS Governor Rex Tugwell of Puerto Rico was flying from his post to the British island of Jamaica a short time ago, and Just before he stepped into the plane, the young naval pilot said: I don't suppose we'll see any thing. But we might as well be ready Just in case." So they loaded the plane with half dozen depth charges. It was a small transport plane, had no regu lar bomb bay, so the depth charges were merely placed on the seats.

Genesis 13:1. Without faith It is impossible to please God (Heb. 11:6). The op posite is also true, namely, that faith always pleases God. As we read the Bible and consider Chris tian experience, it is evident that God is constantly longing to show Himself strong in behalf of them who believe Him (II Chron. 16:9). Abraham was not the first man to walk by faith. Before him came such men as Abel, with his accept able sacrifice; Enoch, with his walk pleasing to God; Noah, who believed and obeyed; and others. But Abraham was nonetheless pioneer of faith. He had many other noble characteristics, and was a man of such distinction that his memory is venerated by Jews and Mohammedans as well as Chris tians. Yet his real claim to an out standing place in history is that by laiw ne responded to God's sov ereign act in choosing him to begin a new nation, to be His chosen neo- pie. We note two important Dointi about faith: I. Faith Makes Demands. In the very nature of thines. faith calls for action consistent with be lief. "Faith without works is dead" (James 2:20), that is. not a real faith at all. In Abraham's life (and in our life) faith calls for 1. Separation (Gea. 12:1). "Get thee out" was God's com mand to Abraham. To accomplish His divine purpose God had to take him out of the heathendom of his fathers, and start anew. It is His ubnv-K.

SYNTHETIC RUBBER: The synthetic rubber situation was at least partially clarified when Sec retary of Commerce Jesse Jones re ported that private industry is oro- ducing rubber at the rate of 25,000 tons a year, and that two govern ment plants, with an annual capac ity of 30,000 tons, are in production. Jones indicated that the country will have a production capacity of approximately 100,000 tons by the end of 1942, a capacity of 300,000 tons by August, 1943. and the entire 800,000 tons by the end of 1943. ALIENS: More Arrests As the Washington military com mission trial of the eight Nazi sabo teurs drew to its close the FBI ar rested 14 persons in New York and Chicago charging them with acting as contacts and assisting the eight on trial Formal charges had been filed against six Chicago persons alleged to have aided the saboteur Herbert Haupt Four others will also be charged with unlawfully and know ingly assisting the Nazis; three with being dangerous alien enemies; and one is being held in custody pending further Investigation. During the saboteur trial it was revealed that they had been sur prised by John C. Cullen. 21-year- old coast guardsman, when they landed from a submarine on the coast of Long Island in June. Cullen was on a six-mile coastal patrol at the time. When he discovered them they threatened him and he pretend ed to accept a bribe but rushed im mediately to his headquarters te spread the alarm. MAC ARTHUR ON WAR: 'Off the Record! In an "extremely frank" two-hour off-the-record talk to more than 100 newspaper editors and correspond ents, Gen. Douglas MacArthur out lined his views of the entire World war picture and the southwest Pa cific area in particular. The conference was MacArthur's second since his arrival in Austra lia. The first was held March 23. MacArthur answered all questions with surprising freeness after being assured that everything he might say was strictly off the record. As usual, MacArthur used sports termi nology in illustrating his points, making reference to prize fighting and baseball in his explanations. He also made frequent references to his experiences In World War I, when he was chief of staff of the 42nd division in France. hA .

RATIONS A London news report says that fish is now being rationed in Norway and that the food situa tion in that country is growing "pro gressively acute." South Russia. They have already completed arrangements for emer gency food distribution, in anticipa Uon ol serious shortages. The plan calls for community feeding throughout Germany. It would mean that families would no longer sit down to dinner in their own homes, but would line up at community feeding center for a gov ernment handout Under this system, the hausfrau would not buy her own provisions, ration cards would be replaced by meal tickets, and one-dish meals of the "stew" type would be handed out several times a week. Under this system, the Nazis will be able to distribute food supplies more efficiently, with greater use of substitutes, and with equal treat ment for all. Hitler may not see the irony of it, but this system brings him to communism, from which he pro fesses to be so eager to "save Europe." Buy War Bonds MERRY-GO-ROUND C.

Here was no questioning, no bargaining, but simple trust in God's word. In fact there was anticipation of even greater things to come (Heb. 11: 10). We need men of vision and that means we need men who by faith can see the unseen, who can see city which hath foundations" even in the midst of destruction and disor der. "In God We Trust" must be more than a motto on our coins if America is to survive. n. Faith Brings Results. The world wants to know if a thing works before accepting and approving it. Well, faith really does work! It brings 1. Blessing (Gen. 12:2, 3J. God is always on the giving hand. "I will bless" was His word to Abraham, not only for Ahrahnm himself and for the great nation of which he was to be the father, but hj an me families of the earth" IV. 4). How gloriously that oromlse was fulfilled in the comina of Christ our Redeemer, who also was a "son of Abraham" (Matt. 1:1). 2. Protection (Gen. 12:3). "I will curse him that curseth thee." That promise to Abraham is still binding and valid. God is not through with Israel The nations and persons who have vented their hatred upon the children of Abra ham need to take notice. We need to be reminded that God's protecting care is just as sure over us who bear His name. Wo too are "safe in Jehovah's keeping," even in what is perhaps the darkest hour in the history of the world. Faith in God brings to us the protection of His almighty hand. S. Fulfillment of Promise (Heb. 11:11, 12). The entire promise to Abraham hinged on the birth of a son, some thing which was, humanly speaking, beyond all possibility. But because Sara, joining Abraham in believing God, "judged him faithful who had promised," it came to pass. "With God all things are possible" (Matt 19:26). He delights in doing the Impossible in response to the faith of His children. Apart from that fact we might be fearful, yes despondent but "with God" we say again, "All things are possible." raw That's Pointed Mother Sometimes there are ruA boys in Sunday school uho giggU 5 smile athttle girls, and sometimes liuU girls smile back at them, but I hope Z little girl does not behave like that Small Daughter-No, indeed, maL,.
