Bead fnD directions in package. 56 Proof C00DERHAM ft WORTS. LIMITED PEORIA, ILLINOIS We talk a lot about Hitlers spring attack ulong the Russo-German front as though it were an event which would arrive on schedule like the five oclock express, but actually the fueher and mus-covito Stalin are already ironing cut their differences in a string of bloody battles whose outcome will eventually influence the trend of the herald offensive.

What is going forward now is a series of ferocious encounters for control of Key Position which the Nazi chief now holds and needs as spring boards upon which so much depends for his grand offensive. Beginning at the north, the Nazis are hanging by their teeth in the Leningrad sector, where the Reds have hammered them back. Remember how seven months ago Hitler boasted that he had in a sack this great industrial center which is at once the gateway to the Baltic and the heart of communism? Southward lies Stuvaga Russia where the Bolshievsts have what is left of a Nazi army surrendered and in a sorry state. Below and opposite Moscow are Rzhev and Vyazma, which lie unhappily in the salient and are threatened with encirclement. Next is Orel Kursk and Kharkov the latter two thirds surrounded by the Reds strong I-oints in the line protecting the Nazi in the Ukraine.

Below this tno a great Russian salient reaches out towards Dineperopetrovsk and then swings back to Stalino. And finally there is Tagamog. German key position on the sea of Azov along the route to the go'den Caucasus. Its into the Caucasus that Hitler would go in search of oil for his badly lowered iruet and grain for his emptying cupboard. If the Bolshev'ists get those spring boards they will have im 1 osed a mighty handicap on Hitler for his offensive, which may easi-j ly be the turning point of the war But whether the Muscovites capture all these citadels or not they me making the Germans pay a huge price in lives and equipment.

The Muscovites aiso are losing many men, but their reservoir of manpower is unlimited and their loss of material has been nothing like as heavy a3 that of the Nazi. There was a time early in the war when mens lives meant little to the German High Command but that day of plenty is past. We have reached a period when every man and every jpachine and every ration of food is of muh consequence. Thats why 1942 is likely no be the crucial year. Winter still grips the battle line along the northern front, two thirds of it, between Kiev and Leningrad but in the southern sector the snow and frost are giving way to some of the most mud that Europe knows.

Probably the soldier would piefer the mud to subzero weather but the gumbo presents heart breaking obstacles and movement of guns and other equipment is a herculean task. With fighting in such critical -tage on the Russian front, Britains Lord Beaverbrook is urging that supplies be rushed to thqj most critical battle front in th h'story of civilization. He maintains that the hopes of humanity ari centered there.
