CLARIFYING THE VIEW
According to visual evidence, this has been
a notable spring for the man of the house to
get acquinted with the condition o f the putty in
his windows. And to learn that rain does not
keep the outside of the window panes clean. O f
course, a man can claim that this driest spring
in a century is responsible for the Lady’s insist
ence that she "can’t see through the windows.’’
A logical reason is always helpful.
Window washers used to do the work, quick
ly and efficiently. This spring the head of the
household has found that the process is a pecul
iar and tantalizing one. Theoretically, after a
window has been washed and dried it should
be sparkling clean. Practically, after one has
been scrubbed and rubbed there are still heter
ogeneous smudges and streaks. The manpower
situation is responsible but the man who catches
the 8:15 knows the outside of his property bet
ter than he has for a long time.— Christian Sc
ience Monitor.
GERMAN ROUT IN ITALY
The Germans were evidently routed in Italy.
They retreated in wild disorder, leaving only
mines and suicide squads behind to delay the
Allied advance, units stealing each other’s equ
ipment to rush their advance to the rear.
If this happened to the Italians it could be
charged o ff as a natural expectation, but Ger
many’s isn’t that kind of an army. The men f i
ght with dogged determination under the most
adverse conditions. If ordered to fight to the
death as at Stalingard they usually do. Only in
North Africa did they quit at all easily and then
only on orders from their commanders who de
fied Hitler’s orders. Even in Russia they were
seldom reduced to a disorganized mass.
How significant the Italian debacle is we
don’t know, but it strongly suggests a serious
decline in German morale, such as preceded
the blowup of November, 1918. It should how
ever be kept in mind that only in Italy can such
a conclusion be drawn. In France and Russia
the Germans are still fighting furiously.
