Like the Metaxas line and so many oth ers since the Maginot line, it Is non-exlstant. All it amounts to is an adaptation of certain de fenses to areas along the rivers. It is not a line of fortresses like the Maginot line, or a defense in 79 mile depth as advertised. For example, along the Dnie per river where the fighting has been thick, certain minor forti fied positions have been estab lished at points where the cur rent is slow enough and the riv er narrow enough for troops to cross. No fortifications exist at other points. I The defenses consist largely of concrete pill boxes with mount ed machine guns. Behind these are light and medium artillery emplacements for arched over head fire upon the river cross ings. Five and ten miles back are heavy artillery, tank traps, field fortifications (not perma nent), trenches, improvised bul warks. Still further back are stationed mobile reserve troops ready to be rushed to undefend ed areas such as marshes and the wide, swift river stretches In case these are threatened. These reserves have motor transport for roads, and horses available; to move through fields. At their backs are the air-, fields for dive bombers and fighters, of which the Reds have few left (the Germans atedly claim 5900 planes down although, some months ago they announced the Russians onlv had 4,000 planes.) e IT seems logical to expect the Germans will penetrate these scattered defensive zones and capture Kiev, Leningrad, and perhaps even Moscow. Yet if the Reds could retreat as well as the British they would neverthe less be the favorites to win in the long run. The British are the best retreaters in history (Mons during the World war being their most brilliant maneuver, and Dunkerque, Greece and Crete in this war being almost equal to it.) The Reds have no property consciousness like the French and can be expected to follow out Stalin's scorched earth pol icy thoroughly. Their Romanian adversaries are not their equal In combat, and some branches of the German army (the Saxon division! ior instance) are not quite up to the Bavarian nazis or Russians. ' " 1 In The Day's r..News . ' 1 i By FRANK JENKINS DERLIN says today (Wednes day) that by armed occupa tion of Iceland the United States has thrust Its toe Into the Eu ropean door and Is now, to all intents and purposes, in the war. Berlin Is TALKING TO TOKYO. DY the terms of Us axis alii ance (at least as given out) Japan Is bound to go in for dear old Germany and Italy whenever me United states goes In for Britain. Germany is saying, In effect, to Japan: "All right. PRODUCE." That explains Tokyo's splurge yesterday about Iceland, which is half across the world from Japan. WSBls AS these) words are written Japan has done nothing more man talk, iter leaders are still reading the war news irom ttussia. QN the war front today: vThe German high command, In a one-line communique, says: "The fights continue successful on the entire Eastern front." The red army reports routing the German troops and stalling the nazi drive. It says the Ger mans are ENTRENCHING not attacking. Both sides are still TALKING good war. rON'T jump to conclusion!. It's stiU too early in the game. But, for the sake of argument, ASSUME that Hitler may have been stopped, at least tempo rily, in Russia. If that should prove to be true, he is facing his first grave dan ger. WORLD conquerors are like e airplanes. KEEP GOING. They have to If they lose too much speed, they FALL. To keep their people keyed up to the sacrifices necessary for wars of foreign conquest they have to keep on producing vie1 tories in a more or less unbroken sequence. ALEXANDER was lucky. He " was never in any real danger of defeat. But at the siege of Tyre, which last seven months, he was seriously worried about the state of public opinion In Greece and was immensely re lieved when Tyre finally fell. p the lo spectacular years "when he was raiding in Italy, Hannibal was sitting pretty with the powers that be in Carthage as long as he was WINNING. But every time he suffered a temporary reverse Carthaginian enthusiasm for him cooled. When, by the process of wear ing down without reinforcement from home, he began to weaken, Carthage DESERTED him. MP to the last cast of the dice at Waterloo Napoleon was unbelievably lucky, but more than once he knew the touch of the cold fingers of fear. He took bad licking In Egypt,, abandoned bis army there and slipped through the British blockade back to France and got his fingers on the situa tion before the real news of his Egyptian fiasco became known. He was frightened again when at Pultusk and Eylau the Rus sians handled him roughly, and this time he sent a courier to Paris with FALSE news of vic tory. Luck pulled him out of V the hole with a victory at Fried- r land a little later. What frightened him was the knowledge that France would turn against him as soon as he began to lose and it did. HITLER probably suowi that as long as he WINS Germany will follow him through blood and death. But he must fear the moment when he begins to lose. History leaves no doubt that for conquerors this la a DAN GEROUS moment. Welcone- Medford Soldiers wwr cM to off wr wra at cor 11 ureetlni to soldiers of Medfors' en Company a and Headquarters.
