THE Stalin Line Is mostly Rus
1 sian propaganda. 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.

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.
