can force his armies and homefront to support the naturally arises as to wher'i be intends to make his stand9 against tbe Allied drives in the uertr rn and eastern theaters irn must note that his general strategy provides for delay action while he retires as grad ttally possible to his inner fort ress tnat is to the borders of thefteicli itself This strategy will per rist although there will be taetjeri innovations to meet emergencies or instance the Gentians pre dict an invasion of apirfherri rance thrmigh the Rhopevalley Should that eventu and it certainly might it'would create a fresh crisisfor Hitler but it alien his broad program of retire foent for a last ditch fight on his oti borders In rance the fuehrer is swing ing his front in the invasion zone back to the northeast using the bloody Caen sector as his pivot A dispatch from Spain says he even has abandoned hi Atlantic defens es in southwest rance except for a light guard and la withdrawing his troops northward because of the Allied successes in Normandy and Brittany Purely Defensive unsuccessful German counter attack against the Ameri cans in the Avranches sector fits into this picture perfectly It was purely defensive and was calculat ed to delay the Allied advance to ward Paris thereby safeguarding theNazi retreat Ther main German retirement will he northeastward covering both Paris and the vital English channel coast Hitler will defend Paris If he can but he likely will find it a hot potato to hang onto He must protect the coast during his retreat In order to prevent the Allies from pouring troops and equipment into rance across the narrow part Of the channel and cutting his line of withdrawal Thia area rio is the nesting ground for the robot bombs which he hopes will crack British morale The Nazi dictator presumably will continue over the old invasion route through Belgium and thence into Germany He may try to make a stand behind the Maginot Dine and undoubtedly will do so back of his own Siegfried Wall The fact that he himself out flanked the Maginot Line at the outset of the war doesn't prove that such defenses are useless Should the Germans have to de fend the Rhone valley their ulti 'inate course of retreat probably would be across the southwest German border in the Belfort area Make Last Stand Over on the Russo German front the Hitlerites already are making their last big stand before they reach their own frontier trying to hold a front protecting the East Prussian border and thence southward along the line of the great Vistula river which runs through besieged War saw Once the Nazis are forced to abandon thia line there will be no strong natural defenses nntil'they finally reach the big Oder river in side the boundary of the father land True they have prepared severe! lints of defense between the Vistula and the Reich but these fortifications lack the nat ural features to give them strength The fighting at strategic points i fierce and it may be the Nazis are getting some easement through possible Russian need to slow up momentarily in order to bring for ward communications after the long fast drive of tbe Red armies However the Muscovites have tbe litnation weHz in hand across the Vistula In the Cracow sector a dangerous zone for the VHitleites A Red break through betiDvVarsaw would turn the whole flenk and force withdrawal War Prispnare May

We'd be likely to think the jig wu up unless we made some sharp changes" The diplomat across the table spoke: "I think probably right about Germany But as for Japan get too optimistic shout the change in the cabinet and the ousting of Tojo "I lived in Japan' you know I know a change In government heads comes along as simply there ss a change in adminisiiation in the United States More simply most of the time we should change presidents in this country in Novetuoer it would be easy to translate this norms! political occurrence into head lines something like this: Overthrown!
