In not ONE was there even an intimation that a

such an outcome was explicitly derided, as not in the

IN fact, majority opinion was to the effect that these

attention on the East, while Hitler would launch his

"Soviet vigilance against
counter-revolutionary, pro - fas

ments was redoubled. Pravda,
the communist party organ,
printed the stern warning that
each and everyone attempting
in these tense and hard times
to violate discipline and spread
panic will be regarded as an
enemy of the Soviet state and
treated mercilessly to the full
extent of wartime law."
N other words, Moscow Itself
admits the possibility of rev.

CROM Moscow comes this dls-
patch today:
"Russian CAVALRY. In a
modern charge of the Light
Brigade, beat back with the
support of Soviet warplanes a
tank-led German attack and
j won a victory on the Prut river
(Rumania) front,"
pAVALRY waa once a great
military arm In those areas
of the world.
It was the Scythian horsemen
(ancestors of the modern Rus
sians) who some 25 centuries
ago defeated, discouraged and
turned back (not far from the
Prut river, incidentally) the vast
army of Darius the Mede. For
countless generations, cavalry
was the deciding factor in most
of the fighting In these great
plains.
The day of cavalry is pretty
well over.
THE Scythians led Darius on
and on, refusing pitched bat- i
tie but hanging on his flanks,
striking and fleeing, leading
him ever farther and farther
into the unknown vastnesses
until finally, in stark terror of
the immensity of the land he
had Invaded, he sacrificed his
sick and wounded after telling
them be intended to attack the
Scythians at nightfall, left his
fires burning to deceive the
enemy and with the pick of his
troops stole out of his camD in
me aarxness and fled headlong
oack to the Hellespont (now the
Dardanelles).
It is this same stratesv of
ngnting and fleeing and leading
the enemy on and on into a
land whose huge expanses have
frightened and ultimately ex
hausted invaders since the
earliest time of which we have
any record that Is doubtless pro
posed by Stalin and his gen
erals. Whether it can be got away
with AGAIN remains to be
