plains, perhaps smothering Adolf
Hitler's hope of a pre-winier vic
tory.
The Russian dispatches said
that the German drive had been
slowed particularly in the direc
tion of Vyazma which the Ger
mans h8ve reported passed and
already in the process of being
mopped up. Vyazma is 125 miles
west of the Russian capital.
One of the Russian counter
attacks, made possible by fresh
reinforcements, was said to have
recaptured a town near Bryansk,
210 miles southwest of Moscow
in the region of the Germans'
drive on Moscow from the south
Another counter-attack was
launched north of Orel and east
' of Bryansk. Orel was lost to the
Germans a week ago.
Despite the Russian resistance,
a dispatch to the Moscow news
paper Pravda acknowledged that
the Germans still were moving
on Moscow and the only ques
tion was whether the drive could
be robbed of its momentum short
of the goal.
Reinforcements were stream
ing steadily into the Russian
front, it was said fresh, well
equipped regulars who already
had been under German fire but
who had been rested for their
. new test. German reinforce
ments maintaining a numerical
superiority for the invaders,
however, also were reported.
The dispatches to Moscow pic
tured the morale of the Russians
as high. All wore warm winter
uniforms with long gray great
coats and fur hats in prepared
ness' for the winter at hand.
There was little question that
the greatest test of the war was
impending.

"can never be" a strike against
the government by civil service
employes.
Two of the resolutions, due to
, start coming out of committees
today, call for a flat pay increase
or bonus of $240 yearly for gov
ernment workers to meet in-
' creased living costs for the dura
tion of the emergency.
President Green's anti-government
strike statement was made
at a weekend meeting of a local
of the National Federation of
Postoffice Clerks. The meeting
was billed as the kickoff in a
a national drive for the first in
crease for postal clerks since
192S.
"I don't think any civil service
employe who understands the
priceless heritage of liberty, free
dom and justice that is curs ever
will belong to an organization
which would strike against the
government," Green declared,
while referring to what he said
was such a threat by a CIO
union. .
Green assured the postal em
ployes, however, that the AFL
had a "mighty power" in support
of the wage demands political
. power of 5,000,000 members.
! Congressmen "understand the
language we speak," he added
"You ought to have had that
pay raise a long time ago. We
will never fail you. Any member
of congress who votes against
the bill for civil service pay
raises will be classed as a n
enemy of the American Federa
tion of Labor."

pressure of events, there's notlv
inn to do but go ahead. We
can't back down."
You hear few people (with the
exceptions already noted) shout
ing that we ought to get into this
war RIGHT NOW and knock
somebody's block off.
You hear practically no one
saying that under no circum
stances should wo get into the
war.
nrHIS is obvious:
Those who are most vocal
in their advocacy of American
participation In the war without
further delay are practically
without exception beyond the
ages when they are likely to be
called for military service.
The professional shoutcrs and
the beaters of the tom-toms and
the dancers of the war dance
are NOT rushing en masse to the
recruiting offices.

the committee voted to consider
only the question of whether to

armed, but although President
Roosevelt sought that authority
primarily in his recent message

By REAR ADMIRAL YATES
STIRLING JR
U.S.N. Retired
United Press Naval Critic
Tho president has asked tho
congress to permit the arming
of American (lug ships enguged
in foreign commerce.
Ho Intimates they mo sailing
the sens on missions connected
with thu defense of the United
States, niHl it is not just tho crews
of these vessels should bu denied
tho means of defending their
lives and their ships.
The president also explains
this arming adds to the safety
of our seamen. Guns can keen a
raider at a distuncu until hulp
comes. Against an ulrpluno at
tack It gives them a chance to
shoot down mi enemy or keep an
enemy at grout height.
In conflict with submarines,
an nrmed merchant ship compels
the submariner to uso a torpedo
while submerged. The submarine
cannot comu to tho surface near
an armed inerehunt ship and sink
it at leisure by gun fire.
But in arming our mcrchunt
ships, the guns put on them
should be of size uml rungc to
give tho merchantman a full'
clianco to fight off, In gun play,
any subniurlno or small raider.
That is, tho range of tho gun on
our merchantman should bo suf
ficient to reach tho enemy.
During tho lust war many of
our merchantmen were armed
with guns that were outrunged
by those of enemy luhumrlnes
To place guns on u merchantman
that will not roach tho enemy Is
obvious folly.
Likewise In defense from the
air, guns on merchantmen should
huvo I'iiiiko enough to keep
enemy planes nl u height whore
n miss Is likely. Such gun
should ba capable of destroying
a dlvo bomber before It can un
looso its "eggs."
If we arm our merchant ships,
of course, Hitler will huvo a
legal excuse for attacking them,
but 1 believe most navy men will
ngreu It is better to arm our
merchantmen than to resort to
subterfuges, such as placing
them under 1'anamanlnn registry,
If wo lire lo carry out tho
pledges of aid wv huvo niudo to
Urltflin and her allies, Indeed,
we may have to take a great
many steps not envisaged when
the neutrality law was passed.
