That is to say things military are going exceedingly well. There are great international political problems to plague the chiefs, but the matter of immediate concern pre sumably is where and when the Anglo-American allies can best swarm aboard the European continent and capitalize the successes of the red armies before opportunity takes a nose-dive. Things could scarcely be going better on the two land fronts and the one air front of the European theater.

That certainly should fa cilitate the difficult decision the president and Britain's prime minister must make. DRIVE GOES ON On the crucial Russian front there has been no slackening in the red offensive which threatens to force the Huns to withdraw their entire thousand-mile line. With the key positions of Orel and Belgorod already well behind the advancing Soviet front, the great fortified railway center of Kharkov, still farther south, is threatened with encirclement, and the Muscovites are virtually at the gates of the beleaguered city. The Nazis are in a precarious po sition. Thus far there's no indication that the reds are weakening in lie on the battlefields.

Here a line of execution by Germans. Their crime: Former Policeman Executed at San Quentinfor Slaying Wile' wgnxxt the striking power necessary to permit continuation of their drive to crack the German line and pre cipitate a rout. Should the Russian assault lose steam before the western allies are able to take major action to divert further Nazi strength from the eastern front, then the opportunity for a quick allied coup de grace might be swallowed up in the bad weather of autumn, and the war would be protracted. That's a contingency the conference between Messrs. Roosevelt and Churchill is calculated to meetr In Sicily the end of axis resistance is very near.

Already the fiercely fighting Germans are admitting defeat by the withdrawal of troops across the narrow strait of Messina to the mainland. They are pulling out in small craft under a canopy of antiaircraft fire to ward off the ceaseless attack by allied war planes which are taking a bloody toll. One more strong point remains to be taken by storm before the collapse of the axis defensive line which guards Messina. That's the key position of Randazzo, near the center of the enemy front, about which one of the hardest battles of the whole Sicilian show is being wagered. Even more encouraging than the Sicilian success is the status of the Anglo-American aerial bombardment of western Europe and Germany.

That assault, unprecedented in its terrific force, has as its purpose the reduction of the reich to impotence by destruction of its war industries, supply centers, naval bases and land communica- Lightweight Carry -AH BAG forms Week-End Passes Cotton-twill duffel bag with handles.

Dispatches indicated that the Italians looked anxiously toward Quebec, and President Roosevelt, hopeful that the conferences would supply the mean3 to get them out of the war. The widening rift between the axis partners was becoming so ap parent that the Milan correspond dent of the Zurich Die Tat, in a dispatch passed by the Italian censor, said he could "no longer speak of good Italian-German relations." The Italians' daily topic of con versation, the dispatch said, is "how can Badoglio free himself from the word of honor Mussolini gave Hitler?" Wishfully, the Italian press expressed its expectations that the Quebec conference would modify the Casablanca unconditional surrender formula. La Stampa of Turin, in a dispatch from Lisbon, went so far as to assert that a revision of the Casablanca terms was the most important business to come before the Quebec conference.

Not a single word about Hitler, the Nazi regime, or Reichsmarshal Hermann Goering now appears in the Italian press, which has relegated German war communities to back pages in small type. Silk Manufacturer Leaves School Gift LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13 UP) The will of John H.

OWNED AND OPERATED BY AMERICAN CHINESE porting that the British public feels "that the end of the European war is now a matter of months rather than years," Paul Patterson said today in a cabled dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from London that Britons generally felt that blackout and other wartime restrictions should be relaxed.

Patterson, who is president of the A. S. Abell publisher of the Sunpapers, and a director of the Associated Press, noted that the double daylight saving time would come to an end in England on Aug. 15, and said that agitation was growing for some modification of the blackout regulations. SAY BLITZ OVER "The argument for modification the blackout is augmented by the general belief that extensive blitzes will never again be attempted by the Germans," Patterson said.

"A further point made is that blackouts did not save Hamburg or other German cities, and there fore modification is well worth the risk it entails for English cities, because of consequent gain in the war effort and the possibility of more efficient handling of workers." Patterson said that considerable resentment had been voiced over the proposal of Labor Minister Ernest Bevin to direct boys of 16 into the coal mine pits and to call up for war service women from 46 to 50. He said the feeling was that employers had been given too much labor and had not used it wisely. NO UNREST SEEN "In general," Patterson continued, "the feeling is that a great many old restrictions are being retained to no purpose, while new and more arduous ones are imposed, xxx "These criticisms do not indicate serious unrest. Rather, there is strong evidence of universal judg ment not only that victory is being won, but that it is being won more speedily than expected."

A dog was killed, remained dead for 10 minutes, and then was brought back to life by blood pumped into its arteries.

Another dog was decapitated, but the body-less head went right on winking its eyes at a moving light, pricked up. its eais and "barked" at a sudden noise, and licked its chops when something tasty was smeared on its lips and muzzle all because an ingenious machine was feeding blood into the "dead" animal's brain. The blindness of the mother instinct, as it was called, was illustrated by another film in which a bird kept right on feeding worms and insects into its nest because an electrically-wired dummy fledgling opened its beak whenever the mother-bird approached. RECEPTION HELD The scientific films were shown at a reception in honor of three outstanding American men of science awarded honorary membership in the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R.

Professor Lewis was unable to attend, but his two colleagues received their membership cards in person from Soviet Charge d'Af faires A. A. Gromyko, who spoke briefly of the vital function of sci ence in war and peace and stressed the collaboration of American and Soviet scientists which "will accelerate the victory over fascism and lay the basis for fertile scientific collaboration in the postwar period." Responding for the Americans Professor Cannon spoke of the great fraternity in which the worm great scientists Jive ineir lives, not separated by ideologies or languages, but all working for the spread of useful knowledge and the reduction of human misery by the wise application of that knowledge. 11 TRANSFUSION AID The arterial and venous pump used in the dog-revivification picture was described by a Soviet scientist as an important factor in the development of blood transfusion technique a subject of vast importance in modern war surgery.

Some of the dogs used in the experiments, he explained, were left untouched for 15 minutes after stoppage of the heart through loss of blood; then successfully brought back to life with use of the blood pump.

So I just grabbed it around' the neck with both hands and stood on it with both feet until it was dead."
