JAPANESE CLAl
OF ALL FOES NOW
Berlin (from German broad
casts), April 18 The Tokyo
newspaper Nichi Nichi corected
I the Japanese press today on a
recent statement that of all
Japan's foes the Chinese soidiers
are the toughest.
The Americans now head
Nichl Nichi's list.
Earlier the Chinese had been
ranged ahead of the Russians
(whom the Japanese fought on
the Korean bordet in 1938 and
on the Manchukuo border in
1939), British, Americans, Aus
tralians and Indians.
Nichl Nichi said the "weak
showing" made by the British
and Americans in the east Asia
war was the result of the fact
that an essential part of their
forces consisted of native troops
who fought unenthusiastically.
In more recent fighting be
tween Japanese and United
States troops, Nichi Nichi said,
the Americans proved to be
considerably touiiher than the
Chinese when fighting under
comparable conditions.
The number of refugees In the
western part of Free China Is
estimated by the Chinese gov
ernment at SO million.

London, April 18 (PI The
zero hour for Hitler's big 1942
gamble has been set back by a
dearth of manpower, uneasy
home morale, friction within the
axis and the combined resist
ance of Russian men and Rus
sian mud, a responsible foreign
informant with wide diplomatic
connections said today.
"Hitler is late," said this In
formant. He gave this outline
to support his conclusion:
Information both from Ger
many, and the rest of the con
tinent shows that Hitler is feel
ing a real pinch in manpower.
First of all, he had to use
40 to SO divisions of his reserve
force to stem the Russian winter
counter-offensive. Second, to
day's Informant said, "we know
from prisoners taken In Russia
recently that the German re
placements are mainly boys of
17 and 18 or elderly men, and
we know they are not satis
factory." Reports from Polish quarters
were said to indicate that this
reserve army which Hitler by
spring had expected to total
1,500,000 now will not exceed
1,000.000.
The German general staff has
been calling more and more
upon the occupying troops In
France and the low countries
for service In Russia, and has
been seeking to replace these
men by semi-casualties and
others unfit for front-line fight
ing. Prisoners from these west
ern garrisons already have been
taken in seme quantity in
Russia.
' At the same time the Nazis,
increasingly worried about al
lied continental invasion, are
frantically seeking to reinforce
coastal defenses on the west.
Only today Belgian reports told
of Nazi minelaying in fields be
tween the rivers Sambre and
Meuse, at five or more points.
On the German front, today's
informant said the most reliable
contacts reported that Hit'er is
engaged in drafting a special
speech for his birthday Monday
to bolster morale. In it, he is
expected to appeal to the people
to forego festivities in his honor
and to give him Instead a steady
and complete effort for victory
in 1942.
Three sullen Jap prisoners, captured from a Japanese nary patrol ship during the recant task
force attack on Wake Island, glower at their captors. In releasing the pictures, the navy said they
were shown aboard a U. S. aircraft carrier which the Japs had previously claimed they had sunk.

The Justice court fee system of

criticism today of Alf O. Nelson,
president of the Justice of the
Peace association of Oregon.
"I am, and I dare say most
of the Justices are, in full ac

criticism of practices in certain

He emphasized Scott's state
ment that "in cases in which the
defendants plead guilty it is
difficult to harmonize the pay.

county and $2.50 to $5.00 tor

Nelson, in letters to other Jus
tices, urged them to work for a
"Justice law streamlined to mod
