Battle of Millions Should
Give Hint on War's Trend
Br DeWltt MacKonsIe
(Associated Press Analyst)
The battle of the millions along the flaming Russian front
presents 'great uncertainties, but we can say that the nazis
appear to have continued their advance in vital sectors,
though with a tremendous expenditure of strength because of
the fierceness of the Bolshevist resistance.
There seems small doubt that
Uiis second phase of the con
flict of the ages is approaching
its climax. We should know
soon whether the nazis are ac
curate in their claim that great
successes are In the making.
Red Army Making
Fanatical Defense
' We probably should be un
wise to dispute that claim on
the basis of facts at hand. At
this writing, as the Hltlerian
legions are being flung against
the center and both end of the
attenuated fighting line, we get
picture of a Red army mak
ing well-nigh fanatical resist
ance, rather than one which has
the striking power to counter
attack and throw the invaders
back.
Still that striking power
might develop at the psycholog
ical moment. The Muscovites
are rushing fresh reserves to
the front and we shall see
what we shall see. I was with
British Commander-in-Chief
Haig's army in the black days
of 1918 as a war correspondent
when the Britons made their
historic and successful "backs-to-the-wall"
stand against seem
ingly overwhelming German
masses, and I am cautious in
setting limits to what deter
mined men can achieve.
Must Destroy
Entire Fore
In any event, even if the nazis
batter their way through to
Leningrad, Moscow and Kiev
the chief objectives of the mo
ment that won't necessarily
represent a conclusive victory.
It wouldn't be surprising if the
Germans did exactly that, bur
unless they destroy the Red
army at the same time, the Bol
shevist government will merely
retire to fresh industrial fields
behind the shelter of the Ural
mountains, and carry on.
. The morale of the Russian
government, people and fight
ing forces will be a mighty fac
tor in determining the outcome
of this war. This being so, the
reintroduction into the Red
army of political commissars.
who countersign orders of the
military commanders and share
responsibility with them, is
bound to cause' anxious specu
lation in allied countries as to
whether this is a sign of weak
ness or of determination.
Germans See
Disaffection Signs
The Germans promptly grasp
ed the opportunity to represent
this move as a sign of disaffec
tion in the Russian forces, de
claring that the commissars had
Deen ordered to wage war
against appeasers, deserters and
saboteurs. Certainly Moscow has
laid itself wide open to such
enemy propaganda by this re
turn to two-headed system
wmch was discarded to
strengthen efficiency and disci
pline. The political commissar had
his birth during the turbulent
civil war days of tlie early Sov
iet. They were set to watch ex-
czarist officers whose loyalty
was doubled. The great purges
of 1937-38, when many officers
were shot as traitors, were the
result of denunciations by the
commissars.
FATHER SEEKING
CHILD'S CUSTODY
An application for writ of
habeas corpus filed by Ralph E
Nelson, in the matter of the re
straint of Florence Gall Nelson,
a minor child, by her grand
mother Clara Hallett Kent, of
Butte Falls, was granted yester
day in an order signed by Cir
cuit Judge Herbert K. Hanna.
A hearing on the writ was set
for Friday, July 29.
Nelson, a resident of Tacoma,
Wash., seeks custody of the child
of five years, as the father. The
mother is deceased. In county
court, July 1, the application
states, the grandmother was
named as the guardian. The
father sets forth in the applica
tion he is financially able and
willing, and a competent person
to have custody of the child.
T
FACES CITATION
A complaint charging Stephen
J. Cline, WPA chief timekeeper,
now in the hospital, with pass
ing motor vehicles with insuffi
cient clearance was filed In Jus
tice court yesterday by the state
police. Cline sustained serious
injuries last Monday night when
the auto he was driving crashed
into a Greyhound bus. on the
Pacific highway near Beall
Lane. Nine passengers in the
bus sustained Injuries.

RETAIL SALES OVER
L
New York, July 18. VP) Re
tall sales were of better than
seasonal proportions in almost
every line, this week with total
volume about one-quarter again
as large as at this time last
year, Dun & Bradstreet said to
day In the weekly review of
busines.
"Wholesale trade was brisk
and climbing steadily," the
agency said. "Sellers frequently
reported they could have book
ed more orders If the merchan
dise had been available.
"Manufacturers' o p e r atim
schedules on average still show
ed only minor changes from the
all-time record level of past
weeks.
"Not only were retail buyers
estimating requirements on a
liberal scale, but they were cov
ering now on a substantial part
of fall and winter needs. Some
retailers planning on a 15 to
20 percent gain in sales were i
Inquiring for double the volume
of merchandise ordered Initially
last year.
"Sellers frequently set a dead '
line beyond which they would
not book orders at prevailing '
prices. In many lines ordering,
continued to be hampered by a 1
lack or supplies to meet delivery
needs."
BY
London, July 18 UP) Seven
sailing vessels filled with Ger
man troops, gasoline and am
munition have been sunk in the
Mediterranean by British sub
marines, the admiralty reported

Among them, it said, was one
whole convoy of a schooner and
three large caiques which was
