Gen. Gilson D. Ligt said today. After the guardsmen and U. S.

Army reserve officers had struggled in two days of mimic combat at New Albany, near here, their commander-in-chief recalled that six months were needed to prepare the troops for the World War in 1917. While the guard of 1940 is much improved over its 1917 pre-war predecessor, with stream-lining of organization, are still in damn bad for need of tanks, antitank and anti-aircraft guns and modern planes, General Light said. Not one of the Garand semi-automatic rifles has reached the Ohio guard, but it hopes to receive some By DEWITT MacKENZIE This comparative lull in the war is nothing more than a and a very brief one from the bloody business which we have been witnessing. Hitler is bound to strike again quickly in order to take advantage of his victory in Flanders and not allow the Allies time to recoup, and there is every indication that he is getting set for another phase of his blitzkrieg, From the general tenor of Allied pronouncements it is clear that they have no delusions regarding the task before them. The Nazis have suffered great losses in men and materials, but we must remember that a military machine such as Herr Hitler constructed crack up over night.

The Allies know that they are in for more trial by fire, and a lot of it. When that Nazi machine starts to roll again it will be surprising if it achieve still further victories. Supplies Diminishing Still, time works for the Allies. Nazidom the sources for a long conflict, and every passing day depletes its supplies. So.

if the Anglo-French combine can hold its own in the face of adversity for a bit longer, it will begin to gain rapidly in strength. That explains the Nazi urge for speed. Personally I escape the conviction that Hitler will find the Allies much better prepared for him than before. I mean in a material way, for they have suffered heavily and need some time for re covery. There can be little doubt, however, that a new spirit of determination is surging through England and France as a result of the heroism of that almost unbelievable rear-guard fight which the Allies have made to rescue their seemingly doomed armies from the Nazi trap in Flanders.

I dare say that history will say the Allied rear-guard fight to cover their retreat to Dunkerque was the greatest victory won by either side in the war. It is a victory of morale.

The crash of was heard all over the capital, suddenly roused to alarm from the lethargy of a bright June day. Anti-aircraft batteries and ma- chineguns on rooftops blazed away at the sky raiders, and French fighting planes roared into the air in droves to meet the invaders. Red Cross and police cars dashed through the streets els civilians scurried to air raid shelters.

Such an increase or decrease results from each fluctuation of a thousand in population. These increases would result in the following changes: auditor, tieasurer and probate judge would all receive $1,890, present salary being clerk of courts salary would be $1,635, present salary is $1,575.

The sheriff would receive $1,305 per year as against the present while the recorder and prosecutor would receive $1,200 instead of the present $1,150, based upon the 1940 population. Commissioners will receive $1,200 each under terms of a law which look effect some time ago and under which the incumbents did not receive an increase In salary. After the November election howevr, all of the men elected to the commissioner posts will be eligible to draw the $1,200 per year, beginning with the new term of office.
