already mentioned the skillfully constructed paper cartons which ran be dropped over the side of a ship and brought to shore where other landing facilities are lacking Impregnated with resins and made from the long-flbered pulp which la most desirable for newsprlnt these cartons have proved extremely useful to the Allied armies Many other new war usee could be cited all drawing upon the diminished supply of suitable pulp-wood Taking all thesA factors Into consideration authorities estimate that the supply of newsprint will he reduced by at least a quarter from that used last year It may even be

liberation comes Their demands upon the violators of their peace will not be small This is particularly evident as to rearrangement of territory The Yugoslav government will demand the Istrian Peninsula jutting into the Adriatic from the northeastern tip of Italy together with the port of Fiume and some islands in the northern Adriatic It will also demand a strip of territory around Trieste which Austria ceded to Italy after World War I Yugoslavia intends to repossess the port of Zara on the Adriatic coast and some islands which Italy annexed in 1920 Greece is demanding all of the territory it held before the outbreak of the war and all of the Aegean Islands taken from Greece by Italy in 1920 and having predominant Greek populations Greece will demand a part of Albania which it contends is necessary to its safety and also a part of Bulgaria for the same reason Greece will grant Britain all the air and naval bases London deems necessary In view of the Greco-Yugoslavia demands it is clear that America Britain and Russia will sit in on tremendous volume of territorial rectification requests relative to Germany France will want Alsace and Lorraine back Poland and Czechoslovakia will have many territorial suggestions for the weakening of power of aggression The umpires of liberated Europe will become map makers on a larger scale than those at Versailles

thing happened on the Adriatic coast above Termoll but the fate of that sea-born thrust The last rain cam the night the first katy-dld sang The Insect made Itself heard in the torpid hush while lightning played sang bravely while the winds rushed nearer and then was hushed by (mothering blankets of rain The rain came down all night and left cloudy skies behind It Toward noon they cleared and the sun steamed Its way Into the wet green grasses The moisture eeeped down stop-plng at well clustered foots through which it slowly climbed sunward again pausing In saturated sand and clay silently spilling along underground ledges Finally drop by drop all of It found a use and home the root took the last touch of refreshment the sand lost its moist touch only coolness under a hot blanket of earth kept the ledge damp Each day the eun shone and for a while the dew fell The goldenrod raised green buds and the grass grew more but the clover blossoms dried and the red tdp aered and the timothy bent wearily back to earth A dry wind began to blow from the west One afternoon It blew storm clouds tumbling them one over thi other until thunder-heads commanded the sky They came on lowering blackly with the dry wind beneath them and then the wind lifted them up and scudded them easily over with clear Iky behind and the dry wind stlli coming The sun shone One night the dry wind went to sleep and no dew fell and the wind stirred the grass more easily all that day There were more mornings with no dew The goldenrod measured Its upward reach and paused for blossoming where It could A stray sentinel branch of a swamp maple scarred the fence line with a sudden spurt of red The brook ceased to trickle and the spring at It head drew a green eye-lid over Itself and slept Across the pasture down the course of the brook the green was still bright The ceaseless dry wind was ruffled back and beaten back by a newcomer from the east The east wind had moisture on Its finger tips end smelled of white-capped waves far out at sea Its first coming was toward sunset and It chased low pregnant clouds across the brightness of the west winnowing the pasture grass out of Its eastward lie All night the clouds moved in dull even con tlnuous sweep owning- all the sky sometimes touching the rounded tip of the tallest ash In the morning and afternoon and another evening they were still there moving always on always Seeming heavy laden yet never given to release But on the third day the east wind and the dry storm passed and the sky cleared to a faint blowing from the west which soon grew strong and even and ceaseless and dry The moon slivered Into the west came full and waned The goldenrod burst yellow and low No winding ribbon of different green charted the course of the brook The pasture grass was all one as It matted itself down spear across spear tips turned and broken in heedless welter The welter shrank down around islands of goldenrod and burdock and ester The dry wind passed over it without stirring It and the dew when It came could not lift it up The sun alone could make It move slowly bending It still lower slowly curling its Ups still over slowly drawing light brown and yellow furrows down the long grass edges The moon was borfi in the west again and then rose clear in the east The fence line turned yellow and red and leaves rattled down and all the pasture was sun and wind and death The change came suddenly and late One morning the sun failed to rise The dry west wind forgot its blowing Out of the north and east new winds rushed In They hurried clouds before them snd when toward evening the sky was well laden It began to rain end the long drought was broken Poem LIGHT ON REA AND LAND Coming In on a sailing-ship at dawn Seeking a strange port

Crimea Is a peninsula world famous as playground and battle arena Big as Vermont the Crimea barely escaped being an Island says the National Geographic Society It dangles from the mainland a sort of watch fob connected by a narrow Iathmus On the East the Crimea fronts the Sea of Azov points a pudgy finger toward the Caucasus across the Kerch Straits Tothe west 140 miles is the Black Sea Coast of Romania Northern Crimea is a land of plains To the south the ground tilts upward 4500 feet to the peaks of the Yala-dagh edging the southern and eastern coasts The strip between the mountains and the shore is a ribbon of gardens the Riviera of Russia that lured princess grand dukes when Tsarhood was In flower Spectacular gorges and waterfalls added to the landscape An Eden on the Hea Screened by Its mountain windbreaks this Crimean Eden with southern exposure bright sun warm sea and mud baths was a hothouse and wine cellar for the pleaaure-loving rich Fig olives pomegranates cherries apples and pears were shpped from mountain valleys to mainland markets Crimean wine was popular In the New Russia Crimean palaces that set the fashion of the political past became convalescent centers and rest homes for worker Reclamation has changed the face of the barren steppes Half the 750000 pre-war population looked to farming for a living Wheat sorghum cotton and tobacco were leading crops Cattle and poultry were raised for market Eastern Crimea had low grade iron mine Phosphorous for fertilizer was a useful by-product Mineral wealth included manganese salt and gypsum Oil refineries brick yards and tanneries were operated Along with the sea-borne trade the coastal regions made their fisheries pay Situation Invited Conquest A central situation in the Black Sea assured commercial

thinking spells between short reading spells the wisdom books of the Bible are matchless Proverbs and Ecclesl astes are of shrewd observation practical good sense spiritual Insight and felicitous phrasing Like all true literature the wisdom books cut through the surface of life and concentrate on the unchanging depths Many of their verses printed in today's newspaper would not seem incongruous would occasion slight surprise but assuredly would induce gratification that our favorite columnist is writing Immensely better than usual: Better 1 a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king

Does he know it as well as he knows the stories of the big bombers or of some of the destroyers carrying out the gallant mission at Salerno? Every citizen of the United Nations has a right to know how important to our victories are the fighting spirit sense of duty and the gallantry and fortitude of our ground forces The accomplishments of this indispensable member of the air-ground-naval team will when the story is fully told fill many of the brightest pages of our war history This is something I have felt for a long time It comes from the It is due to this ability of Gen Eisenhower to appreciate the of the men who contribute the great bulk of the army that he occupies the position of a great general comes from the and we believe it and we hope every mother's Son will see his tribute as evidence that their leader believes in them and Is glad to give them credit for what they are doing And so when read how the Flying Fortresses perform in the process we should know now the infantrymen individually and collectively are the brightest pages of our war That they will finish what the sky fighters have beun Background At Moscow What will eventuate from the conferences of Secretary of State Hull Foreign Minister Eden and Foreign Commissar Molotov at Moscow is predictable only in the sense that all three are motivated with their governments behind them by a grim determination to defeat Germany as soon as possible That at the outset they may not agree on how this can be accomplished is understandable But it is not within reason that differences in ideology or the ghosts of unpleasant relationships in the past be permitted to obstruct that purpose Distrust of Russia by Britain and the United States has been a prime objective of propaganda machine Inclination on part to scrutinize the acts of her major associates in the war can be better understood if it is recalled that British and United States troops were in the field against the Reds in the early days of the Russian revolution Ever since fear of the French was allayed after retreat from Moscow England barring Russian access to warm water was the great Russian bogie Russia newly industrialized by the three five-year plans and with limitless manpower from her 200000000 population is a vastly greater world figue than ever she was under the czars With natural resources still unguessed she finds herself in the same position relatively as the British Empire and the United States To the fulfillment of what should be their rightful destinies nothing is more essential than assurance of world peace for decades to come Despite the reiterated insistence by Moscow upon a in Europe by which it means a Western Front there can be nq doubt that the United States and Britain are closer to Russia than they were a few months ago The successes of American British and French arjns in sweeping the Axis from Africa Sicily Sardinia and Corsica coupled with the breaking of Italy from the Axis and the actual invasion of her soil are highly appreciated in Moscow So is the munificience of American lend-lease contributions to the Soviets So is the demolition from the air of German cities war plants and communications Important as this gathering can be in the dissolving bt suspicions of intent and perhaps in making possible a closer cooperation in Anglo-American effort with that of the Russians these three conferees are not the respective heads of their nations If this conference is followed by a meeting of Stalin Churchill and Roosevelt it will be an indication that progress toward Allied unity was made I advance the more difficult has never been clear A landing on the Seaso plain below the mouth of the Garigliano might be in prospect If successful it would turn the se flank of the Massico line a the Volturno front was turned It Is Inshore on both sides of the Matese mountain spur' however that the weakest links in the Nazi Holding front are being tested out It is there that the greatest results might be obtained at the lowest casualty cost to the attackers That Is the best discernible calculated risk a military terminology put it The essential factor In the Battle Italy however is and has been Allied air superiority That 1 enabling the Allies to pin in Paly a total of close to 500000 Nazi troops vitally needed to meet the crisis Russia and to do it with probably far fewer men In the initial stages of the fight at least That could make all the difference in what happens within days or even hours in the Dnieper bend
