AIR VICE MARSHAL SAUNBY, deputy commander of British bombers, adds an official touch to this dark rumor picture. He says that ONE-FOURTH of. all German cities attacked by al lied sky fleets has been reduced to sheer devastation, that modern life Is no longer possible in Hum. burg, Ducsseldorf, Cologne and other production centers; that nine of 17 major cities in north western Germany are LIABILI TIES rather 'than assets; that Barmen, Wuppertul, Elberfield, Krafleld and other industrial towns have been virtually de stroyed and MILLIONS of Ger man buildings smashed. 0 N the shooting side of the news, the .Germans hit the Kusslans in the Kiev bulge with TWO THOUSAND tanks, driving them buck. (The Kiev bulge is pointed at the Rumanian border and Rumania hHs oil.) On the other side of the pic ture the Russians CUT the tall road supplying the Germans left in the Dnieper bend. THE everlastingly amazing Chinese rally and TAKE BACK CHANGTF.H. (Changteh stands astride the route by which Chungking and the hulk of the Chinese army gets supplies from that part of China not held by the Japs.) HEWS from the Mnrshalls fight is still scant und loggy. We have a navy task force there probably a big one. In a moonlight battle Saturday night (the day the battle began) we sank two Jap light cruisers, a tanker and THREE TRANS rufliTS and shot down 72 Jap planes. (What the Jap transports were doing we don't know; they might have been either reinforc ing or EVACUATING the Jap Marshall garrisons.) The anti-aircraft guns of one of our carriers shot down six of a group of seven Jap torpedo bombers - Indicating both good shooting on our part mid the des perate efforts of the Japs to sink U. S. carriers. IMPERIAL J p headquarters raises to fantastic heights the Jup claims of losses Inflicted on us. Since Pearl Harbor, Tojo says, 31 allied battleships. 39 allied air craft carriers and 1-18 allied cruisers have been sunk or dam aged and 5158 allied planes de stroyed, along with HX8 allied merchant ships sunk and l-'(0 damaged. Tojo puis U. S. manpower losses in the Pacific at 144,000 killed or wounded and -113,000 captured. THE Japs are evidently trying, In their clumsy propaganda way, to take advantage of our LACK of news, figuring lhat since our own side tells us little land often, as at Pearl Ilarhor diid Tokyo, actuully MISLEADS RECRUITING .EDITORIAL. ' By Charles DECENTLY we placed before News-Review readers the 'question of why recruiting in the women's auxiliaries to the military services is lagging behind expectations. An swers to the questions boil down to three principal factors. First in importance is the eligibility age. If the age require ment were dropped from 20 to 18 years, it is apparent there ,wpuld be a much greater response. Parental restraint is an other) issue. An arrangement whereby women married. to service men could secure furloughs simultaneously with their husbands, or could be assured of discharges in time to be at home when their men return would also increase the number of volunteers. We appreciate the letters written on this question, par ticularly by girls of eligible age and those who are ineligible because the age limit is too high. In nearly every case the writers have agreed with the correspondent quoted pre viously, who called attention to the women's earlier maturity and the fact that to correspond on maturity basis with draft age for men, women could be accepted at 16 years. Some girls who would like to volunteer have been dis couraged by parents. A good many boys in the 18-21 age group would not be in military service today had it not been for selective service, as consent of parents would not have been available. Parental rstraint 'is more 'effective with girls than with boys. ; "Tho reasons of some mothers to doubt the ability of their daughters is understandable," and Alice and Jane have been they are almost helpless, " They have been handed so many material things and luxuries that mothers fear their daugh-1 ters will bo miserably unhappy should they be called upon to i sacrifice a luxury or two even though their service might mean the saving of lives. . S... "Had my mother once said tiling to want to do but I'm afraid you can't, it's hard work you know,' that challenge would be enough. I'd do it or die in the attempt. My sincere prayer is that tho challenge leave the counters and offices to older wo men and 4-Fers." Another suggestion is that speeded if the recruiting officers would only tell the gals they can get rayon and nylon We read where chemists have sect repellant which is keeping our soldiers free from lice and other insects. We know now why our present-day army is so much mortJ el f icient than in the last war. The modern Yank can expend all of his energy fighting the Germans and the Japs instead of tiring himself out scratching cooties. Newsof4-H CLUBS County Club Agent E. A. Brit- ton reports lhat there are already enrolled, 06 4-H clubs In Douglas county which will curry on pro jects throughout the years 1913 and 1941.

New members added to the Oakland woodworking club dur- us) they may get some of their tall tales believed, thus WORRY ING US especially wives and mothers of men known to be In the Pacific. They are helped by the fact that Americans have the strong feeling thai they're being TOLD LITTLE (the recent Patton Inci dent confirming this Ideal. Put ting It mildly, our people feel that u much belter Job of Inform ing them COULD be done with out Riving the enemy anything he doesn't know already. Anyway, the Japs probably feel they have everything to gain and NOTHING to lose by all this lying. FACTORS V. Stanton one writer comments. . "Mary lifted, laid and toted until '.'.,' , .

EDWARDS We often hear with splendid spirit the crosses that are forc ed upon us. But the real test of Christian discipleship comes when we face a cross that we may or may not accept, as we choose. We are accepting to day's war rationing in good spirit. But what will be our attitude when we are allowed to choose whether we will go without many things long aft er the war is over. So that we may help iced and clothe the needy of the world. From old English literature come3 the history of a monk named Martyries, who, having been sent on an errand by the ab bot, came upon a leper by the roadside, who begged the monk to help him to his hut near by. Forgetful of the ab bot's orders and of his own personal safety, Martyries took the man on his shoulders and started back to the monastery. When he reached the monas tery gates the leper alighted and lo, the Christ stood there and blessed the merciful monk. It is when a man voluntarily assumes another's burden not counting the cost, that he finds himself in the very presence of God. The cross you accept may be the one that points your neighbor to God. Then the cross becomes a crown.

Traded for Fats i; Today, December. 13, for the first time.-OPA is allowing extra ration points for used household futs turned In to meat dealers. In deciding thrft two meat ra tion points are to be paid in ad dition to the standard four cents a pound for salvaged fats, OPA has given housewives added in centive to participate in supply ing raw materials necessary to the war effort. . The government has estimated that Americans throw two billion pounds of fat down, the drain and into tho garbage every year. Since on the average, each pound ot fat yields one tenth of a pound of glycerine, Americans have been throwing away 200 million pounds of potential glycerine. Tho government does not ask for these fats, even to make gun powder, until all possible cook ing good is gotten from them. But when fats are too black or highly flavored for further vse, every spoonful, every single drop is urgently needed. RETURN SLIP CHICAGO.

Let's see what gives for Monday night and Tuesday. Well, after a glance at Monday evening, we feel better forgot this was the night for thehcw 6:30 Winchell and Mahoney show (it's good); also the dean of detectives, Sher lock Holmes, at 8. And (how could we forget it?) Point Sub lime at 8:30. Come to think of it, this is one ot the best nights of the week. Tuesday a. m. we like very much too there's Top of the Morning at 9:30, Cedric Fos ter at 11, Yours for. a Song 11:30, and Melody Rendezvous at 11:45. Ever since they played Blng Crosby's recording of "White Christmas" on that spot the other morning we hang around the speaker hoping they'll do a re peat, and we'd hate to miss It. There's always our Welcome Inn too; that gives us a lift for the afternoon and though we may do a little feudin' on the air, con fidentially we think they're pret ty cute. One special deal to call to your attention in the afternoon it's the '4:30 broadcast of the conclusion of Bonneville dam and should be very interesting. -. P. S.
