LUDWIQ ON WAR'S END . & Emil Ludwig, noted German author, gives his opinion as to the length of the wa In Europe by declaring that the Axis forces will be defeated - within a year be cause they lack the nerve to carry on in the face of adversity. Mr. Ludwig says that he "saw Germany lose its nerve in 1918 when forsaken by its allies," and that "there wont be any differ ence now " He predicts that the Nazis "will capitulate before any battles are fought on German soil" ." The noted German historian forcasts that Italy will be de feated in three months but gives Germany nine months to yield to the Allied offensive. WOMEN IN THE POST-WAB ARMY Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers, of Massachusetts, comes up with the suggestion that women be kept in the armed services after the war We see no objection to the idea. As Mrs. Rogers says there are certain jobs they do well, which men do not like She mentions telephone operators, interpreters, clerks and weather bureau work ers as fields especially suitable for women. We think Mrs Rogers' idea is sound and that it should be adopted by the government There is no reason to bar women from perm anent places in the armed forces along the lines suggested. A BOY IN A MAN'S JOB In the early days of our war with Japan, an American naval officer said that the Japanese did not send a boy to do a man's job. Recent events in the South Pa cific indicate that the Japanese are doing this very thing, using insufficient task forces and suffer ing losses that are crippling air power, navy and merchant marine. The mystery could be explained on the basis of a miscalculation of our forces If it happened once but it has occurred repeatedly, at Guadalcanal and in the recent bat tles around New Georgia What is the answer? Are the Japanese running short of aircraft, warships and merchant vessels? TWO IDEAS AS TO JAPAN "v . . , . . jur 101-mer Amoassaaor to ja--pan, Joseph C. Grew, has stated repeatedly that the Japanese will fight to the last man and that there . Is do way to defeat them except in a last-itch fight 1 Another idea is expressed by J. B. Powell, Shanghai newspaper editor, Writing in Liberty Maga zine, Mr Powell says': "Let the Japs think they are losing and they will quit trying." The editor points out that the Japanese people do not know yet READY FOR THE HOP TO 12 CnaJla-bui:t and Canada-' and most irrtoorttnt air baaaa I rf tbe United Nations Air Forces, d r t.e r- -r , t? t ' to f 1 arts" are being serviced, as shown a..va, re., g t, i' r t ' e-cT, t 1 f t'em.

Once they do, he add, and if the defeats are multiplied, it is likely that they will crumble and turn upon the leaders that they thought were invincible Of course, both Mr. Powell and Mr. Grew are entitled to their opinions There is no way to tell which one is correct, but, as the war develops in the Pacific, the answer will come. HITLER WANTS A PREMATURE INVASION The cause of Adolf Hitler looks rather sick and we may well as sume that the smartest Nazis know, by this time, that Germany cannot win the war throughmili tary force and that the only hope for them is a negotiated peace. How does Germany expect to get this? By the simple exped ient, proclaimed by Hitler him self, of making it so costly to in flict a military defeat that the United Nations will give up the job This is the present Nazi strategy and it might be Worth while to dis cover the best way to avoid such a disaster. Obviously, if the Anglo-Ameri can armies undertake a premature invasion of Europe, under pressure irom Kussla, or anyone else, they will present Hitler with an op portunity to overwhelm the in vasion force, with bloody losses, thus strengthening his argument that such an invasion is impos sible - There is no present sign that the Allied high command has any idea of falling into such a trap The military proceedings in Tunisia and Sicily demonstrate that our generals take -time to make ade quate preparation for attack, which probably explains why they have had such outstanding success. It is not for civilians to tell Gen. cjsennower, or any other com mander, when,, where or how to ' aiuim me enemy. iNeitner is it our task to decide when prepara tions are adequate for the task Let us have faith in th intellig ence of our leaders It win help win the war ' tO CKtCK m7davs s 666 Liquid for Malarial Symptom, Dr. H.

This sudden development, fol lowing closely Upon Allied succes ses in Sicily and Tunisia, gives new evidence of the wisdom of the war plans of the United Nations If Italy is forced out of the strug gle the achievement will be more important than the opening of a second front in northern France some' months ago. Few people realise the vast re sults that have from th epochal decision to Invade North Africa. The Axis have been expelled from that continent, the Mediterranean has been opened to our shipping and the way has been cleared for an actual invasion of Southern Europe This is not all. The Axis lost some 300,000 men in North Africa, is about to lose an equal number in Sicily and the withdrawl of Italy, which may occur any day, will mean that all Italian soldiers are out of action, this will ser iously affect the situation in the Balkans The fruits of our invasion of North Africa include the seizure of important bases on that conti nent, the acquisition of needed facilities in Sicily and the promise of early occupation of the Italian mainland which will offer advan ced bases for renewed an heavier assaults upon vital, and hitherto somewhat inaccessible, industrial areas of Germany. Consider the problem of Hitler, m German manpower dwindles under the crushing Impact of the Russian campaign and the mount ing threat of the Anglo-American. I rl rn,,iiM ,L. Avis haji k find new soldiers to meet our men, as Sicily disappears the drain will be renewed and, as Italy gets out of the war, the Germans must -as sume the entire burden This means that several hund red thousand German soldiers must be rushed to the Balkan area. Jin addition, German troops must be arrange to meet the new threat that arises in Italy itself. While the role of the Italian Armies in the present war has not been glo rious they have eased the load of German manpower, releasing sol diers for other fields It is not very wise to look too far ahead of events but the impli- cations of the present development increases the optimism of the people of the United Nations. We may figure with reasonable expect ancy, mat itaiy is through as an Axis asset Her surrender will be almost as serious to Hitler's cause as the surrender of France was to Great Britain Italy's withdrawal, coming after Nazi Germany baa endured nearly four years of war. Is relatively more important than if It had occurred In the flush of German successes. Nobody knows where the armies of the . United States and Great Britain will strike, after the Sicil ian campaign ends. Certainlv. if Italy Is definitely out of the war me occupation of that countrv will not engage our full force, un less Hitler decides to fight on the soil of Italy rather than await an oiiensive directed against Germ any itself If however. Hitler fihnnrinna tho Italians, permitting the Allies to occupy that nation, he will find nis entire rieht flank urinii endangered. Fighting desperate- BRITAIN i -r, U f t t Laett i 'r Vc- ' i t C2" $ " t 1 r tii. i ti i i C .11 1 ti I ' l.:.- s. ly in Russia the Nazis have looked to the Balkan anchor as a measure of security for forces used against Russia, w;. , :; , . A successful attack In the Bal kans would unhinge the- enure German line in Russia and would probably compel the Nazis - to make extensive withdrawals, eith er to the Dnieper river Uneor. possibly, further west This would be a delicate an dangerous operation in view of the vigor of Russian attacks and might become a rout We are speculating somewhat upon the assumption that Italy will soon get out of the war This is likely but not .certain. The rcciMiitu ovists that the King and Marshal Badogllo may rally Italian support ana mat we wu ians, fighting for their own lands will make a better and longer defense. Even so, with Sicily lost, the result of any campaign against Italy is only a matter of weeks. When we acquire airfields our bombers will multiply the attacks unon Germany They will also menace the Balkans., Including Rumanian oil fields Where they will be used depends upon the decision of the high command as to the next attack. The collapse of Italian resistance will have important political re percussions in the satelite nations that support the axis regime. Bulgaria, Rumania and Hungary will unerstand the full implications of Italy's surrender. They know Germany The fighting, on other fronts continues with the Russians mak ing slow, but steady, gains against the Germans. In the South Pacific the general situation re mains unchanged In the Alantic the U-boat has been scotched. In germany , exploding bombs con tinue to cause great damage. Back of the favorable military picture is the avalanche of war production that is rapidly reaching the battlefronts to overwhelm Axis manpower and guarantee our victory with a minimum loss of our fighting men, FAISOII HEWS FELLOW POETS MEET The Fellow Poets met at the home of Mrs. C. Beems on Fri day evening Mrs. H. T. Ray, the president presided and Miss Sallie Hill, the newly elected sec retary called the roll and read the minutes of the last meeting. The study for the evening.
