Unless tho United Nulloni poll Hitler's game by really erecting a tecond front In the wont quickly and efficiently, d hereby compelling littler to ska largo contingent of hi troopi and lili nir force away from Ituiwia, this la what In xcheduled to happen: Tho German dictator Intends to "finish" Ituiwia by a dramatic lieneral assault along the whole Una and from every possible anitlo, Ho In wlUinK to put all hli cum In one basket and con centrate on thU ono military ' problem. Hitler will, an usual, attempt ' to confound hl enemies by sur- prliie urprle both an to tho time of striking and an to now weapons designed during the " long winter of comparative Inac tivity at tho front. "Wo have a whole new bag of tricks," my Informant boasted. Termi to Follow Onca Ruitnla Is smashed and prostrate so Hitler still seems to think the western world will Ji grateful to him for having re- jioved tha cursa of communism rom tha earlh and will como to terms with him, But to defeat Russia, he must have the oil of the Caucasus. And ho can best take tha Can- 1 casus by plncer movement. In other words ono section of his glgantlo army must approach tha Caucasus by way of Turkey and Iran. Turkey, Iran "Iran Is practically ours ol- ready," my Informant said, con- fldently, "England has had to take most of her troops out of there and hurry them down to India. Thcro Isn't any love for ' the Russian .troop stationed i there. Germany will be wel . corned as a liberator." Fearing that he had probably dready gone too far, he would Wot comment on Turkoy. The name of one Gorman person slipped out, however, as booked to leave for Turkey shortly This man often precedes the troops. Turkey's position has long beon mattor of doubt. One must not forget that the German representative In Turkey Is wily Ambassador Franz von Papon, for whom dlplomatla Intrigue Is duck soup. Despite Innumer able rumors of his oarly retire ment probably usually started by tho nails themselves to con found tho enomy "Fronzol" Papen has beon quietly at work softening up the Turks. "Protection" for Turkey It was Interesting for us dur ing our Internment at Bad Nou- helm to follow tho accounts In tho dally German pross of the trial In Turkey of Von Papon's Oould-bo assassins. It was ob vious that tho Gorman public was being prepared to realize how Russian agents were trying to undormlne tho Turkish state and endnnger hor neutrality. From this, ono may deduce that If Turkoy decides to cast her lot with the axis, tho day may como when Turkoy will Invoke Gorman assistance to "protect" her from bolshovlsm; If she de cides to oppose n Gorman march through, Foreign Minister Joa chim von Rlbbonlrop may some Sundny morning at daybreak In Juno or July summon tho fow remaining forolgn correspon dents In Berlin to tho Wllholm strosso to Inform them that tho ' German army wns now on Its way throiiRh Turkey to save the Ottoman state from Russian eommunlsm, tho British secret rt'vlcs and "American Jowlsh Viliigue." Preparations In Greoct ( It Is now almost half n year slnco wo last attended tho pross conferences In tho Wllholm "trnsso. At ono of our lust meet Ings thoro, however, the spokes man1 was positive In asserting that relations between Turkoy and Germany wero excellent, Tho Berlin corrospondent for tho Turkish nows agancy told mo shortly before I was Interned that ha was Instructed to com ment on tho German news "In a fiimlly manner." Tho Instruc tions enma from Ankura. Hut Germany Is tuklng no chances. Ono of our repatriates on tho Drottnlngliolm who came from Greece reported that Ger many was feverishly at work on the Greek Islands In tho Ionian sea building barges with which to effect landings In the Darda nelles. Some 4000 German workers, ho eatlmutod, were en gaged In this construction pro ject, besides all necessary native Greek help. The port of Piraeus, ho also reported, was teeming with ac tivity again, and all sorts of con struction was undorway. When I visited it a year ago, following In the wake of tho conquering German armies, it was a scene of death and destruction. Tha curtain of silence which tho nazls have dropped over Greeco is thick and Impervious. It Is therefore hard to verify this repatriate's story. It seems dacldedly to make sense, however. 1 TUPS Br PRESTON OROVER , NEW DELHI. India, June 8 (IP) Japanese troops have reached Homalin, 45 miles east of tho Indlon-Burman border, and are continuing to rush troops up the Chlndwln river In Burma, a British spokesman said today, The spokesman declared the Japanese evidently planned at least to strengthen their forces holding that section of territory captured In Burma. 1 Homalin la on the Chlndwln river, 200 miles northwest of Mandalay. At the same time, the spokes man said, the RAF attacks on Japanese barge and boat move ments up the Chlndwln river were so successful that the movement was definitely slow er. NEW DELHI, India, June 8 (IP) As Japanese forces pressed to a point 43 miles east of India's Burma frontier, the British an nounced today that the largest convoy of reinforcements ever to come to the defense of India had been unloaded at eastern India ports. Tho reinforcements Included light and heavy anti-aircraft guns, British and American light and heavy tanks and a large number of both fighting and technical personnel, The convoy put into Indian ports early In May and was so big It could not be handled at any one port.

Axis Power Blunted! Say Experts. But Test to Come By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON, June 8 IP) Military experts reviewing six months of global war concluded today that axis striking power had been considerably blunted slnco the United States plunged Into conflict December 7 but warned that the great battles fo final, overwhelming victory are yet to be fought. Virtually all tho things , that havo been dono to dnte con version of the nation to a War economy, creation of the huge and growing army, extension of supply lines to all parts of the world were described as con stituting only the prelude to the grand offensives which alono could bring triumph. How soon ond effectively these offensives may be under taken, It was snld, - depends partly on the speed of allied preparations and partly on en emy counter-measures In the present main theaters of con flict. Fall Turning Point In the opinion of some well informed authorities, however, prospects are that a definite turning point In tho long fight may be reached this fall; and already there ore evidences of fundamental changes in tho strategic situation which sug gest that both the Japanese in tho Pacific nnd tho Germans in Europe and Africa have lost much of . the inltlntlve which they appeared, to havo had flu ' ni iiasiWli''r r in Ireland Borrows a firmly in grasp only a month or two ago. , Possibly the most important of these is that the Germans have been unable to start any general campaign to destroy Russia but so far have been forced into sec-saw fighting with a Russian army that gives every appearance of being able to hold its own until a second front can be opened by British and American troops in western Europe, Mennwhllo Germany's' spring offensive in Africa appears to have been held, and industries in Germany itself are suffering heavily from" British bombard ment. . . Japs a Pussla i What the Japanese themselves may do in an effort to secure their already enormous con quests in ' East Asia and the Western Pacific is a puzzle. As some . authorities see it now, the Japanese problem in broad strategical terms is a de fensive one. Flushed with their triumphs in Hongkong, the Philippines, Malaya, The Neth erlands Indies and Burma, they are nonetheless besot by actual and potential enemies on all sides. China, although admittedly in grave danger in her eastern provinces, still remains as a base from which Japan may be attacked. To the. north, war moy shatter the troubled peace between Russia and Japan at any moment. To tho south, Aus- Glad to See It v.

To the east Pearl Harbor and its system of satelite bases, from which subs, planes and task forces already have lash ed the enemy, stands as a con stant reminder that the eastern Pacific is under American dom ination. On the other hand, Japan has already conquered a territory which, properly developed and fully defended, would give her material resources for carrying on the war indefinitely. Cholera Spreads In Chinese Areas SAN FRANCISCO, June 6 (P) The Chungking radio said to day a cholera epidemic was spreading in several Chinese provinces. Tha broadcast, heard by CBS, said: "An epidemio of cholera has broken out in Kwangsl, Kweichow and Yunnan proV' inces. The epidemic is spreading in Kweillin and another point in Kwangsl,' and in Kunming, Shiakwan and Paoshan, in Yun nan, "Health authorities in these provinces, however, are taking measures to combat the epidem ic."
