engage the "Russians, throw -them off balance,

be a diversion to occupy the enemy while the

There is no doubt that Germany has used the
past months of cessation of active "Warfare in
Europe for -rest' and recuperation for her ar
mies. According to "Hanson- Baldwin, military
observer for the New York Times,' the strength
of the German . army has probably been re
stored. He attributes this recovery to the "tre
mendous tnobllizaUn' thif started in Germany
coincident win Stalingrad and that has been too
little noticed in this country." , ! U- : U i i

So much time has elapsed this summer 'that.it

That the previous observations
tome eueci mat we war pwin u uuui us
true is home out by statistics concerning con
sruction." The Portland Journal of Ceramerce
reports that on a weekly average basis for; the
first half of this year, the total volume of con
struction was 63 per cent below that of a. year
ago. The decrease appears to be accelerating,, for
' the June contracts were 72 per cent under those
of June 1943. - f .;

war factories and camps were being completed. .
Private construction' moved up from $44,641,900
to $72,718,000; But 5ee how far it would have to
go to reach the $383,907,000 volume which was
made by the federal government in 1942. '
As these trends develop we will have cross- t

The shortage of teachers has forced the clos

more to close were it possible to obtain suitable
I transportation for children. Now school buses
are very hard to get. Since there have been too
many weak schools, - the "ill wind" - may. blow
some good in encouraging consolidation.
It took a war to do it, but teachers salaries
are now up to very decent levels. They com

. WASHINGTON, July ft Those who call them
selves liberals are pressing suspicions against the
presence here of General Giraud in conference
Panl Malloa uevjauiie conuwersy iirsi nana
Mr. Crawford Is an eminent reporter, able, sincere,
and a past president of the national newspaper
guild. . . . ;
He found facts which did not justify-the DeGaul
list attitude of his paper, found the Roosevelt poli
cy was not so sharply at variance with necessities
of. the situation.
PM suppressed two of his articles, one predicting
DeGauUe and Giraud never would be able to make
a real finance, and the other praising the diplomat
ic job by our consul. Bob Murphy. Others of his
pieces were badly garbled in voice radio transmis
sion; probably not deliberately.
But when Mr! Crawford returned to this coun
try, learned of the suppression, and was confront
ed with the necessity of writing a round-up series
to conform to editorial policy, lika an honest writer,
he quietly quit. He is now with the magazine News
week. . ' - , ;
-: There must be more to this DeGauue-Giraud sit
uation than can be explained, Obviously, the De
Gaullist liberals do not wish to face the facts-r-or
one?
Conclusion of the MacArthurrHalsey. campaign
to clean out the Solomons should, not be expected
swiftly. Presence of 50,000 scattered Jap units
throughout that area presages a long and difficult
job. If it Is finished by the end of summer, most
authorities would be satisfied. - i.
Surely, however. It win not take as long as Gua
dalcanal where 20,000 Japs (augmented frequently
by reinforcements) were able to cling to their trees
In the jungle for six months, from August to Feb
ruary. !: v-;.-. t- - r , . ; .
r.. ? : j :
' Mr. Roosevelt said declining severity of the i
sub warfare soon may allow abandonment of ra
tioning on sugar and coffee, but he said nothing
about gasoline, which is far nicae-importantto most
J people, and the first product to fall as a fatality of
submarine attack.' ';'.; j- ;-: - r ,-.'. .. ,
There are two reasons. Our gasoline and oil are
being tonsumed at the battle fronts of the world
"at. an unbelievable pace, some say a million bar
rels a day. Tankers destroyed in the first nazt sub
r attacks have not yet been replaced, but soon will be.
Second reason Is we administrative awrf7iwg cf
the oil and gas problem from the beginning. Doubt
It if you dare, but the office of defense transpor
tation now, estimates the railroads could handle 40,
' 000 barrels a day more to the eastern seaboard If
Mr. Ickes would only give them more gas to carry.
The bottleneck now Is in refineries. Mr. Ickes
- will be blamed for not allowing eKpnsion of re
fining nd storage facilities earlier. In the game.
Four government bureaus are now hawming this
subject those of Messm. Ickes, Brown, and asU
-. man. One or more of them will, or should, soon tell
Ickes his 323,000 barrel allotment of transporta-
Uon for civilian use In the east during July, Au- .
. gust and September Is much lower than the trans
i; portation situation warrants. J-cr: ?::s ;-;.":?
' A movement Is afoot to tighten rationing In the
west and use the gas savings to ease the situation In "
the east; but this win run up against objections.
Eastern oil Interests own Texas and Oklahoma

are geographically.
- And 'that Berlin -phrase, con
tained In a non-official broad
cast which for the first time ad
mitted it was an offensive, not
a defensive fight the nasi armies -In
Russia are waging, still leaves ,
doubt as to its strategic or tac
tical objectives. It Implies that
It is only reduction of the Kursk
salient ; thrustmg - deeply west-
ward between Orel and Belgo
rod that Is aimed at." ; - " .,
:A Tbe Kursk salient, last Indf-.
cated ' as extending ; from- 4& to

rail center from which it takes
its name, : Is dangerous to . . the .

which depends the whole south

In the end, he pulled it com ior
a moment, and then carefully,
ground out coals that had never
' been.
"1 like the judze," Ann whls-
r pered. "He looks like a diguer

Yes, it had commenced like
' some mysterious performance of
Initiation. The dogs paraded 'in
1 a large circle, while the' Judge
knelt with . supernatural Intent
ness. ' Then they wheeled into
an extended line, and he exam
ined each animal as If he were
taking it apart and putting It to
gether . again. He looked at
mouth, eyes, wars.. He put his
- hand on 'their 'quarters and let
his weight ' test soundness of ,
limb, after which he put each
dog through its paces, walking,
1 gaitlng, and ' standing stllL" And 1
never so much as by a flicker
of an eye did he disclose his
mind. As he came to Gretel,
Ann's hand went out to Chris
topher's arm. She looked up at
him and saw that his face was
set and a little pale.
" "Gretel'a lost,", he muttered
' grimly. "The fa wn' got it."
"Don't be silly, it's Impossible

But Wain was right. As long
as she lived Ann would never
know by what subtle shades of
penetration Christopher had, dis
cerned .it, for Jt was minutes la-
' ter when Dr. Barrie picked up a
handful of ribbons, - and, like a
general commanding troops, in
dicated the : four dogs of his
choice. After- What" seemed' an
eternity, he placed Gretel sec--
,dnd in-line,. and with a,, small
. ceremonious : bow . before the

the world went black. ;
-' Rowdy walked like a woman
losing- a stocking and having
girdle trouble at one and the

A number of Inquiries have
been . received, regarding calla
lilies.. Now I have before me a
letter from a correspondent at
i Amity who tells about her calla
lilies and this might be of In
terest to the various readers who
have made Inquiries during the
past few months. - , -
"My calla lilies," writes Mrs.
Robert C, Mitchell, . "are often
covered with immune flowers :
- from March until November.
Last December W, when we
left for California, I left three
buds in a vase picked on that
day, and a month later when we -returned,
they were wide open,
waiting for us. .
Mine are very hardy, as the
past two winters have been
test The men haul fresh cow
manure and cover them six "
Inches or more In the fall and
again In the spring. About every
month through the summer I
put a quart or more of com
Jaercial fertilizer between the
rows. Of course we have lots of
water. The rows are 23 feet
Jong." :
Mrs. Mitchell evidently knows
how to grow calla lilies. Per
haps this advlca may b useful
to soma other growers or would
be growers. -- . . , i .
