J Cooperation ONE of the things that has helped to' make the Fifth War Loan program a success has been the cooperation of the local theatres. : 'George Mann and William B.

Lloyd Lamb, the Associated Press War Analyst THAT'S a grim picture British Prime Mamster Churchill gives us of the flying death which is swooping down on England mainly on Lon- "don in the lorm oi muer s roDov duihus. It's a terrifying weapon, but we should recog nize that this is its chief mission to create terror and break morale. It must be largely luck if it causes heavy military damage, since it can be directed only at broad targets. This winged death is being used indiscrim inatelv aeainst the British civilian population The fact that it's being employed mainly against the metropolis speaks for itself. There's where the most people are congregated, and that's the easiest target to hit. Further Glimpse TODAY'S German communique gives us a further glimpse into Hitler's evil mind when it boasts: "Our vengeance fire is still directed against London with minor intervals." While the chief purpose of this winged death is to shatter morale, it does have a military value as well. Churchill indicated one nazi gain when he said that much allied air power had been diverted from other pursuits to deal with the robots. Obviously, too, these bombs would be affective against a big industrial area. England Won't Crack A E can't brush lightly aside a weapon in VV which in three weeks kills 8752 people and hospitalizes 8000 others. However, the Britain which went through the horrors of the German air blitz early in the war isn't going to crack under this new rightfulness. As a matter of fact, the robot bomb undoubt edly was intended in large degree as a booster of German morale. With disaster tearing at the . reich from all directions, Hitler had to have something to bolster: the spirits of his people. His smartest propaganda was the promise of a devastating secret weapon which would be used at the crucial moment. To give him credit -he has produced the goods. However, when it becomes apparent to the German public that the robot cannot break allied norli Hitter will have to pull another rabbit out of the hat or cry quits. His anxious reiteration this week that "We shall not capitu late before any difficulty" is the echo of a hope in which he has no confidence. Hongs On To Hop HE speaks as a beaten man who, as this col umn has emphasized previously, is hanging on in the forlorn hope that some lucky break will give him a peace which will be less harsh than unconditional surrender. In which direction does the fuehrer look for this gpod fortune? It hardly can be towards the eastern front, where he has no more chance Ibcal manager, hap given full cooperation to of halting the onrushing red tide than Canute tfle local committee in carrying out this patriotic policy or tne organization. I For the most appropriate -remark of the month, we give you Mrs. Ada Larson, one of the war mothers who spoke at the bond, show at the Pelican last flight. The mother of six in the service, Mrs. Larson commented through the microphone that to a mother, whether she has one boy. or-five, six. or seven in the serv ice, the burden and the honors are the same. Thus the women on the stage, all mothers of .had of ruling the sea. Rather, it would seem, . he has been gambling that some mishap would bring disaster to the western allies as they undertook the frightfully dangerous amphibious invasion of western Europe. There .were a hundred and one misfortunes which could have overtaken this invasion and some of them almost did. Now, however, we are past the likelihood of disaster, and once we have broken through Rommel's guard on the road to Paris, Hitler can whistle for his lucky "wind.
