HITLER'S EMPIRE
IS LONDON VIEW
End Of European War This
Fall Seen Possibility
Anti-Axis Trend Observed
By Edward W. Beattle
'. United Press Correspondent
London, Oct. 13 (U.R) Quali
fied observers said today that
the' balance of the European war
had swung so heavily in favor of
the allies during the past 10
days that Adolf Hitler's contin
ental empire may collapse this
fall.
A sudden crisis also may de
velop within Germany itself,
they added, but this possibility
Is more remote.
The Red army's advance from
the east, the Anglo-American
bombing offensive from the west
and south and unrest inside the
"Festung Europa" none of
them new factors in the conflict
took on new importance dur
ing the past week as the Ger
mans struggled to consolidate
somewhere for the winter.
Anil-Axis Trend
Among the latest straws in
the wind pointing to an increas
ing anti-Axis trend inside Eur
ope were these: . .
1 Reports reached ' London
that the Germans have informed
the Vichy government of their
intention of imposing even more
rigid control over France, in
cluding the arrest of all officers
of the French armistice army
and the disarming of police, prer
sumably to nip any pro-allied

other general retreat along the
entire Russian front this fall
might crack Hitler's eastern em

If the Germans are forced to
draw back into Poland and East
Prussia while the allied advance
from the south and air attack
hits civilian morale, thousands
of Nazi professional officers
would say the war is lost. Lon
don military men believe the
Wehrmacht officers' prime in
terest at that point would be to
preserve the army as intact as
possible as a bartering point at
the peace table.
It seemed clear cut August 1,
when Germany became commit

history, that Hitler's profession
al general quietly re-assumed
control of grand strategy, leav
ing the Nazi party to handle the
home front as best it could.
Even then the party remained
in the background. However,
the extraordinary speeches by
Hitler, Gestapo Chief Heinrich
Himmler and Arms Minister
Albert Speer last week calling
on the German people to hold
firm indicated the party is be
ing pushed into the foreground
again, possibly so that at a given
point it can be blamed for the
defeat.

SICILY INVASION
BY KIN OF

Mrs. B. J. Palmer of 315 S
Orange street has received a
copy of a letter written by her
grand nephew, Lt. T, J. Isaac of
Seattle, Wash., to his mother,
telling her of his landing on
southern Sicily in the recent
campaign there.
The young man writes of the
Character of the country, des
cribing the land as rough, hot,
and dry,' and with numerous an
cient castles among the rugged
crags. He states that he was de
lighted to find that drinking
water on the Island is excellent
much in contrast to that found
In Africa.
In telling of the more realistic
military phases, Lt. Isaac writes
that he has seen fields displaying
vast beds of flames, and towns
and villages plastered into rub

"limy WH be Proud of Vou, Sis"
Funny what a girl learns about herself and her big brother, after he goes
away to war, Part of each other through the years, playing, quarreling, 1
. teasing . . . never far apart Then that queer, flat, lost feeling when you -started
to set Jimmy's place at dinner, and remembered he wouldn't be home '
that night, and you didn't know where he was. You realize now that you
and Jimmy rated tops with each other, always even when you quarreled.
Against the rest of the world, you backed each other to the limit
It's the same now. Jimmy's out there fighting for you . , . and you're
beside him. For if he's injured in action the nurse who takes care of him -will
be there because you and other Nurse's Aides took over her job here.
Proud of you? why, the way you and all the rest of his family are back
ing him and his buddies makes Jimmy the proudest man in his whole outfit
Are you a CITIZEN SOLDIER?
Nurse's Aides are Citizen Soldiers. So are Auxiliary Policemen, Air Raid
Wardens and other Civilian Defense workers, members of the Red Cross
Motor Corps and the Coast Guard Port Security Force, blood donors and
the thousands of others actively working in one or more of the scores of
vital home front services. Most of these services are in urgent need of
more volunteers. If you are not doing all you possibly can to back up our
fighting men, enlist today. Be a Citizen Soldier.
Uncle Sam Comes First
Unde Sam now gets first call on all we produce, and war demands will
increase 'during coming months. The effects of these demands, on the prod
ucts and service we are able to offer you, will be increasingly evident. .We
want you to know this and the reasons for it
Petroleum is playing a vital war role, and Tide Water Associated Oil
Company is in it all the way. Our investment is heavy irt equipment for
making 100 -octane gasoline, and our output has doubled and redoubled.
We are going "all-out" in the supplying of fuels and lubricants for the army
and navy, and vital petroleum products for essential war industries.
