The enemy is not as strong in defense as in oflense, because in otiense i "s- yip he could concentrate his forces.

CARROLL From a photograph taken In 1921. The warning of James F. Byrnes last week that "even with Italy out of the war Germany will Be as etrong for a defensive war as she ever was for an offensive war" was a wise caution against the slightest slackening of effort, which would certainly prolong the war. Only in the prolongation of the war do the Germans see a chance for themselves not a military chance, but a political one of splitting inter-Allied unity and thus being able to win, if not the war, a satisfactory peace. To overestimate the enemy's strength is always a wise attitude unless this overestimation causes us to miss favorable military and political chances.

In that case we do not shorten the war but prolong it. German's Reserve Strength. What do we know concerning the real strength of our western enemy? Militarily, the greatest concentration of German strength is in Russia. Even with an estimated 231 German divisions, the Russians obviously have a margin of superiority not only in man power, but Appointment of Thor W. Bruce, director of recruiting for the Ninth United States Civil Service Region here, as assistant personnel director for the city was announced today by Director of Personnel R.

Elliott Scearce. Bruce will be the first man to fill the post since it was created under the civil service amendment more than" a year ago. Screarce said Bruce, 43 years old, was among 131 persons who took examinations for the post Aug. 14 and ranked highest among the St. Louis applicants.

Several non-residents ranked higher, but the law provides that the post be filled, if possible, by a resident of the city. Bruce will take over the $5400-a-year job in the near future, Scearce said as soon as he obtains a release from his present post. Scearce said he chose Bruce from a group of three certified for the position. The others were Lawrence T. Ryan, 4250 North Euclid avenue, and Fritz K.

Grolock, 5909 Cates avenue. Before taking his present United States Civil Service job in July, 1942, Bruce was for five years professor of economics at the St. Louis University School of Commerce and Finance. He lives at 3116 Gurney avenue. 12,000 JAPS TIED UP 240,000 U.

The Russians estimate that Hitler still has 91 reserve divisions, one-third of which are garrisoned in Western Rurope. This reserve is not large enough for the tasks ahead of the Germans. Otherwise it would be inexplicable why they did not reinforce Sicily and why they told Mussolini they would only attempt to hold Italy north of the Po.

This symptom of weakness Is the more convincing, since their withholding of forces was insufficient to prevent continued de-frats in Russia.

It would therefore appear that the German gerf-eral staff is compelled 1o dispose Its forces to maintain an irreducible minimum at every critical point. If this be true, then contrary to popular belief that we could most effectively attack the Germans at many different points with relatively small forces, we would most effectively attack them in great force at almost any point we might choose. The fact that we now can attack in innumerable places makes it impossible for the Germans to do anything except disperse their forces. And this Is what makes Mr. Byrnes' analysis, ELECTION BOARD CLERK DIES Does this propaganda of "strength through fear" work? There are indications that the propaganda moves on crutches.

The fall of Mussolini brought civilian peace demonstrations in Berlin. There are reports in London that military moral has begun to crack on the eastern front. It goes so far that officers are afraid to go out alone at night, lest they be shot in the back by their own men. Thus, an over-all picture makes it clear that German military strength is dispersed and moral strength waning. These facts are certainly known to our leaders, and must have influenced decisions in Quebec.

Under Secretary of State Says He Expects to Return to Post Next Week. By MARQUIS W. CHII.DS A Washington Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.

Under Secretary of State Sumner Welles told the Post-Dispatch today that he fully expects to be back at his desk in the State Department some time next week, thereby countering a flood of rumors that he was off on a mysterious mission to Russia. Welles was ordered by his doctor two dnys to go 'o a resort following recurrence of an old illness. He is at Bar Harbor, Me.
