Hitler Hopes Declarations Against United States Will Help His Cause -MacKenzie Br DEWITT MACKENZIE Wide World War Analyst The declaration of war against the United States by Germany and Italy, in alliance with Japan, was fully expected and doesn't Iter the position materially, Herr Hitler, as overlord oft the Axis, undoubtedly hopes that the moral effect of this declaration, delivered at a mo ment of great triumph because of Japanese successes, will bene fit his cause. However, it is likely that the effect has been largely discounted in advance. True, this may presage more direct action against the United States. Indeed one would expect this to be so. But that action would have come in any event, for the normal Axis strategy is to strike without warning. It happens to suit Hitler's purpose now to make a show of the for mality. As for the Japanese end of our now all-inclusive war, the long lane Is showing some slight curves even though no turning has developed. News Not All Bad Now We have some good news to go with the bad. Foremost Is the announcement by an American army spokesman in Manila that "the situation is completely in hand" In connection with the Japanese landings on the island of Luzon, of which Manila is the capital. With this is recorded the fine success of our bombers in making three direct hits on a Jap battleship off Luzon and leaving It a blazing mass. This is encouraging In view of the ital Importance of our defense of the Philippines. The battle fit the Pacific at this mo ment pivots on the Japanese as saults against the two great allied basesour own Philip pines and Britain's Singapore. Possession of these two pow erful bases is essential to con trol of the Pacific. That is to say, It Is essential to successful prosecution of the war In the far east. While the word from Manila la cheering, we shouldn't Jump to conclusions. The Japanese at tack is continuing, with fighting forces ashore at various points, and a further landing of para chute troops at an airport near IUanga was reported this morn ing. We have to sail through a lot of dirty weather yet. Russians Add To Nasi Losses The sensational success of the Japanese in the first round of this fresh conflict very naturally hat distracted attention from the European war. Had the world taken trouble to glance at this theatre it would have learn ed that the Russians have had further successes, both in the Leningrad and the Moscow sec tori, and report inflicting bloody losses on the Germans. Simultaneously the Nazis an nounce with apparent compla cence that their advance forces have withdrawn to winter lines along the Russian front. The military spokesman In Berlin said the German push eastward was finished until spring. That Is cheerful news for the allies, for It will give the Bolshevists a chance to recuperate from the effects of their fierce struggle thus far. A greater-than-usual seasonal decline In residential building has set In since September 1, according to the department of commerce.

William Bates remembered It was just such a day as this, and snow started about 4 In the afternoon. The next morning he measured II Inches of snow In front of his barbershop. The snow was followed the follow ing night by a freeze, and dozens of water pipes froze up, and plumbers were busy. Electric power was disrupted, and a show at the old Tage theater was presented by lantern-light. A few days later a Chinook wind came, and the snow vanished. just OUT OF EVERY 4 TOMATOES sgood chough for MY CATSUP j . erodMct...edie wonder!
