Will wonders never cease 1 This Third World War which started with a big surprise promises- to end with one, in Europe at least. . ... For the Anglo Americans have taken Moscow I WHAT Napoleon could not do. What Hitler at the height of his power failed to accomplish, Messrs. Hull and Eden have done, and all in a fortnight And when hope of such a triumph was at the lowest ebb. So much so that this conference was slated to be only preliminary, a groundwork prep aration not by the big chiefs but by their foreign secretaries and associated underlings. Yes Eden and Hull were only supposed to clear the way. But here they have taken the town, Red Square, Kremlin, the Man-of -Steel himself who signs on the dotted line, his complete surrender to the democratic program, including even China. APPARENTLY all that Churchill and Roosevelt will havo tn An nr. the mihRfmiAnt. p-afherincr will be to put their official seals on these history making documents, review Stalin's crack bodyguard, and show they are better yeoman at the caviar and vodka board than their under secretaries, which unquestionably they are! How Come? Yes it is all very astounding. Nothing like it since the recapture of Stalingrad nearly a year ago, ana it may weu prove 10 De a victory even muie decisive. For this much is certain. Stalin would not have given his English-speaking allies what THEY wanted, if he had. not gotten what HE wanted. And what he wanted. and we surmise practi cally the only thing he did want, was that second front Yil, that must have been the price that the Boss of all the Russians demanded, and that must be what he got He would certainly have taken no less. Precisely when and where that second front will be established, when the blow will be struck is not announced, obviously it cbuldnt' be. But that it WILL be struck, and soon enough to hook in satis factorily with a similar blow by the Red Army is as certain as anything in this surprising war could be. VES the one great fear Stalin has had for a long time has been his Anerlo-American allies reluc tance to pay the price of a complete victory and their eagerness to have Russia pay it to the last drop Then when Germany had been defeated, and Russia bled-white, John Bull and Uncle Sam, still under wraps, would step in, and with both the Nazi and Communist menaces eliminated, proceed to take over western Europe and consolidate. That has been the Kremlin nignunare. And the Anelo-American nightmare has been a separate peace between Germany and Russia, before J the former s complete dereat Ae a matter 01 lact there was considerable superficial evidence to sup port both fears. There is no doubt whatever that these fears were entirely genuine and the one pur pose of this meeting in Moscow, was to nave tnem either substantiated or dissipated. ' ' Fortunately they have been dissipated. Other wise the accomplishments announced could never have been consummated. Bad News , This is bad news, not only for Germany but for the Axis. For China was represented at this confer ence, a fact which will be carefully noted in far off Tokio. ' It is the first time that Russia and China have met around the conference table since the war started and it can mean only one thing: , Things are going so well with Russia in Europe that she no longer fears Japan. She is not seeking trouble, and an official an nouncement to this effect is made, but if Tojo wishes to make something of it, Stalin will not be greatly put out . THIS defiance from a realist and opportunist like Stalin is more indicative of the extremely favor able nosition of the United Nations, both in the hast and the West, than any hign-powerea propaganda or needled-up war communiques could possibly be. Stalin is surely in a position to Know tne rjAAvi military situation in both Siberia and his western front Had he any misgivings or quaims 01 any son; about either, he certainly would never nave anowea what d in omat cal v SDeakme. can only De construed as an unfriendly act toward a traditional enemy, with whom technically he is sua at peace. VES bad news for Messrs.. Hitler and Hirohito, MiHurnv nnrl StalinpTad. Nnt that it chances the actual war situation, but it so completely removes the one chance of an Axis escape a stalemate. If the rift hetween Soviet Russia on one side, Rrirain and the United States on the other, could have been widened, if seeds of suspicion and fear could have been sown and matured, the result from the standpoint of a COMPLETE allied victory might well have been disastrous.

After she re turned from the hospital her daughter came down with it. She can't under stand how her daughter caught It, as Virus Pneu monia is not communicable, But a friend tells me our Dr. Brady cousin coughed constantly and never tried to cover mouth and nose when coughing, and after she had bean home a week her daughter's voice grew husky. The doctor at first thought it was due to irrita tion of her throat by dust which caused a congestion in the lung, but several days later diagnosed the ailment as Virus Pneumonia. Please explain what Virus Pneu monis is. (W.C.A.) Virus is an extremely minute living organism, too small to be visible with the ordinary bacter iological microscope. Among the diseases now regarded as virus diseases are smallpox, chicken pox, herpes (cold sore), measles, poliomyelitis (infantile paraly sis). Then viruses are probably at least partly responsible for other diseases, notably influenza and epidemic encephalitis. A virus diseases is no less in fectious or communicable than a germ disease. Viruses are visible with the ultra-microjcope. A typical virus disease, small pox, is now generally recognized as a respiratory infection, that is, the virus enters the system thru the lining of the breathing passages, as does the virus of measles, the bacillus of dipth erla or the streptococcus of scar let fever and septic sore throat. The woman who coughed all over the place, after she return ed from hospital, very likely in fected her daughter with her virus pneumonia. That sort of crime will be com mon enough, I suppose, as long as the old. timers in medicine and public health persist in at- iriDutmg "colds" to the weather, sudden changes, draft and the like. No matter how high the mor bidity and mortality rate of un covered coughing and sneezing and of polite conversational spray infection, perpetrators of the crime can always find as good an alibi as this woman pleaded. QUESTIONS ANSWERS Coffee Controversy Rating Ho experienced coffee maker would commit the error you did In your filth point on now to man eooa coffee "heat the coffee nearly ut not quite up to boning watch It carefuily and snatch pot from fire Just before . she boll."

Even new dealing Senator Pepper, who only a few months back, was talking about a world state and an international army, did not bring up the first sub ject and conceded that an in ternational force was a matter of future discussion a long way on. This enabled critical Senator van Nuys to say and riehtly- mat tne Connally resolution did not promise such a force, the idea seems thoroughly dead, What is more likely to haDnen along this line was suggested in this column published Thursday, October 28, revealing expecta tions that this country will have a 5-to-l navy over the British at the end of the war. Such a navy should provide adequate policing for our way of life, especially as no other nation aside from the British can now be assumed to hold or keep anything which might be called a navy beyond the cessa tion of hostilities. We also will have an air force superior be yond comparison, although, of course the Russians will have the largest land army. Why create an international policing force when we already will have one afloat? This great est sea strength in all history should in itself enable us to as sure fair world trade, use or negotiate in return for British safety for control of bases form erly exclusively British, and maintain our democratic prin UEAVY mysterious shake- down of lend-lease and econ omic warfare buying bureaus by foreign economic Administra tor Leo Crowley apparently has several bidden angles. Congress seems to like it because Mr. Crowley has the reputation of a receiver in bankruptcy for in efficient, wasteful, or misman aged government bureaus. On the other hand. Mr. Rnnw. velt generally likes to reorganize bureaus in popular disfavor be fore congress can get to inves tigating them. By chanainz ner. sonnel In advance, he takes the political curse off congressional exposes. But, on the third hand,' (there Is generally a third hnnrt In nuf deal reorganizations) the prom inent positions to be occupied by braln-truster Laughlin Currie and justice department's Oscar cox suggest the new deal is taking even stronger control of the former business man's (Stet- unius) agency, either in prepara tion for .the coming election or wnat.

Amphibious Units Rehearse Landings on Atlantic Coast By Milton L. Can ' United Press Staff Correspondent U. S. NAVAL AMPHIBIOUS TRAINING BASE (U.R) Day and night along a desolate stretch of Atlantic beach combined units of the Army and Navy are rehearsing the coming inva sion of Japan and continental Europe. They stream ashore in landing boats and amphibious ve hicles in defiance of heavy seas, underwater explosions, barb ed wire, strafing planes and shore installations which constant ly subject them to the terrors of invasion warfare. From all walks of life and from every state in the Union they come, from 18 to 43, with only one prerequisite tough ness.' This Job requires guts and brawn to be able to work 24, 48 hours or longer, if necessary, carrying tons of supplies and ammunition ashore to hold a beach-head on the doorstep of the enemy. They don't consider their Job suicidal, but they are trained to expect.heavy losses. One officer said a mission could be com pleted successfully even if two of three men were knocked out of action. Many of the officers and men are veterans of North Africa, Sicily and Guadalcanal. The training base here was estab lished for one purpose to profit by the experiences of those land ings. It was set up last January un der the command of Capt. Clar ence Gulbranson, USN, of Chica go, who commanded a transport division in the attack on French Morocco last November. The officers and men live and work on an island which might easily pass for an advanced base in the Pacific or Southern Eur ope. Its sandy beaches on one side and forbidding and treach erous rock approaches on the other make it a logical site for training operations. Contrasting shorelines simulate that which might be encountered In any sec tion of the world. Their life on that island is the nearest thing to actual combat on this side of the Atlantic or Pacific. This is one base where you will not find a Wae or Wave. The first and last woman to visit the lsiand after its commission. ing a USO worker proved the necessity of keeping the training base strictly a stag affair. One soldier, who forgot about the woman s visit, had Just soaped himself for an open-air shower when the visitor drove by. The men take pride in their outfits because they are expect ed to be tough. One beach bat talion, commanded by Lt Comdr. Eugene C. Cams! of Washington, D. C, Is known as the "Sluggers." Its Insignia de picts a landing boat emerging trom the open jaws of an alliga tor. Carusi is a former Washing ton, D. C, attorney. The executive officer. Lt. P. K. Bruce of Des Moines, la., is a Navy veteran of World War I who, before entering the service, was a Hollywood movie-film salesman. But it is in the enlisted men of the outfit that the officers of the "Sluggers" take particular pride Seaman first-class F. W. See- teuu, 20, of Milan, 111., saw duty aboard an air carrier, a subma rine ana a troop transport In North Africa before volunteer- lne for the "Amphibs." Oscar D. Foskey, za-year-oio seaman 2c of Cochran, Ga., has six brothers in the service "and eleven more back home wanting to get In." Foskey hopes his out fit will land in Tokyo because he has a score to settle with the Japanese, for one of his brothers was a casualty in the Pacific. Although training activities have been in progress here only seven months, letters of com mendation about alumni already have been 'received from the combat zones. The commanding officer of an Army transport in Sicily wrote Captain Gulbranson: "It is with definite pleasure that I write this letter of com mendation on the boat officers and crews assigned this vessel . , . This entire unit has come through 100 per cent, each and every man knowing his job and doing it willingly and efficiently right from the beginning . . ." Curley Indictment Ordered Dismissed Washington, Nov. 2 (U.R) Federal indictments against Rep. James G. Curley, 'D., Mass., and five others on war fraud charges were dismissed today on grounds that the grand jury ordering the indictments was illegally im paneled.
