In April alone of 1917 Allled | sea losses came to virtually 1000000 tons. ¥Yet in | subsequent months of that war Britain and America | wete able to reduce Allied shipping losses to some- | thing under 200,000 tons a month and finally to much | lower figutes still In this light, the record of the United States in | respect to shipping losses in its own water is far from | good. Assuming that 1,250,000 tons is a fair estimate, | the average monthly Joss now stands at more than | 200,000 tons. This, despite the fact that anti-sub- | marine equipment is immensely improved since the | first World War. The Navy promises a decisive improvement in the | situation, evidently relying on extension of the con- |voy system. But after six weeks of the convoy policy in the areas of chief concern, there is no appreciable reduction of sinkings. This leads to the conclusion, | tentatively at least, that convoying will not suffice, | that a full solution hinges on the pressing into ser- | vice of many hundreds of small craft. Hundreds at |once, and then thousands, | One cannot argue that more fighting ships should be diverted to American waters. They are too badly needed in areas of combat, and for convoying trans- |ports and supply ships to the fighting fronts. And YUGOSLAV ARMY With amazing fortitude and ingenuity, a Yugoslav | York is so instructive and simply worded an account‘reassurmg influence. army still manages to make plenty of trouble for the Axis—well over a year after the last resistance was |ted by physicians, chemists, biologists and clinicians of reclaiming waste material large believed crushed in the Balkan state by the im-| mensely superior forces of Nazi Germany. Despite the most brutal reprisal against the civilian popula- | tion, the hardy menfolk of the mountainous realm | of King Peter are continually harassing the Fascist forces of aggression—carrying on full-scale battles with the Italian armies near Trieste and Fiume, in Northeast Italy. Many American newspapers use the convenient term “guerrilla” for these Yugoslav fighters, and the German and Italian militarists sternly insist that they are carrying onh irregular or even “illegal” war- fare—and are executing them upon capture rather | than observing the international law governing the treatment of prisoners. The Yugoslav patriots may be following a guerrilla technique of defense and attack. It is a technique forced upon them by the incomparably better equip- ment of the Axis forces and, incidentally, a style of fighting especially well suited to the terrain of the homeland, But Rome and Berlin should not be per- mitted to apply unchallenged the label of irregulars to the Yugoslavs. ‘They are the defenders of a nation attacked with- out cause and in utmost contempt of international law (the attempted sell-out of Regent Prince Paul and the coup which established*Prince Peter on the throne provided an excuse but not a reason for the German attack.) They are represented by a formal government in exile, and there has never been a formal surrender to the invaders. The organization and command of the Yugoslav forces is under one of the chieftains of the regular army. General Draja Mikhailovitch, and presumably under him are many other officers who were regu- lars in the Yugoslavian army at the time of the German invasion.

Tonnage figures have m Unsolved except for some losses on the Murmank route, the convoys to ports of our Allies have been wholly suc- cessful. But even though we cannot recall destroy- ers for anti-submarine service in home waters, we can and must strengthen the fleets of small craft now in use. Cancer l;mgress (New York Times) The latest report of the Memorial Hospital of New of the cancer problem today and the methods adop- to solve it that it ought to be read by any one who takes the slightest interest in scientific progress. It summarizes recent achievemnts, indicates work in progress, suggests lines of investigation. No one knows why normal cells should suddenly grow into shapeless masses that take possession of the body. That a chemical disturbance can be one cause Is now undeniable. Tar derivatives and dyes will start cancers. Upset the balance of the hor- mones, particularly the sex hormones, and cancer again results. Improper diets can upset the body's delicate chemical machinery and bring about the conditions favorable for wild growths. Hundreds of chemical clues are worth following. And there is so little money, so few men! of the empiricist—that of an Edison who does not lamp. The other is the scientist's—the approach of the theorist who patiently tests one hypothesis after another. Both approaches are indispensable at this stage of cancer research. It was the empiric method that led to the introduction of radium in the treat- ment of accessible cancers and to the discovery in Memoria]l Hospital of a compound which, in the test tube at least, paralyzes the cancer cell much as the sulfa drugs paralyze the germs of pneumonia and other infections, yet leaves healthy cells alone, The scientific or theoretical approach answers questions. How fast do some breast cancers grow? It would seem as if measurements could not throw much light on cancer. But they do. For they indi- cate a relationship between the production of sex hormones and tumor growth. Some of the sex hor- mones are chemically related to the cancer-produc- ing tars, and the tars have sexual effects. Here is another relationship that must be traced. So with the vitamins. Their balance, too, is upset in some forms of cancer, with another chemical problem pre- sented. Blowly the elements of an intricate picture-puzzle are being assembled. As yet not even the outlines are perceptible. We need more pieces, and when we have them we shall see relationships to which we are now blind. So huge is the task that no one labora- tory can hope to perform it. Accordingly, Memorial Hospital has allied itself with other institutions in & not been revealed, but at a conservative guess the total may be something like 1,250,000 tons of ship- ping. Or # may be rather more than that. In any large cooperative effort—a method which has long been applied with brilliant success in industry and which is ultimately bound to strip cancer of much mystery and terror. Washinglon e d (Continued trom Page One) into the diner for breakfast, scan- ned the menu. A State Depart- ment official accompanying her ordered ltot cakes and maple syruo. “What is that?” inquired the Queen. “Your Majesty should try them,” suggested the official, and he placed two orders. When the hot cakes were brought, he gave the Queen care- ful instructions in the art of plac- ing a pat of butter between two hot cakes. Then he suggested she try a few bites first without syrup, then with syrup. The Queen was delighted, and, like. any housewife tasting a new dish, she asked if she might have the recipe. WAGE STABILIZATON Inside reason for holding up the vital guestion of stabilizing wages Is a hot backstage row over who will do the stabilizing, although all presidential advisers agree that wages must be stabilized if the cost of living is to be kept down. The row has almost reached the proportions of the one which threatened on Capitol Hill if the President followed his first plan and asked Congress to pass wage legislation. When the President changed his mind regarding legislation and de- cided to act by Executive Order insteal, OPA’s General Counsel David Ginsberg prepared the nec- essary papers for establishing a Wage Policy Commission. This was to have been headed by Gov. Lehman of New York, with power to issue directives on wages to all Government departments. But jmmediately half a dozen other agericies bobbed up with tge idea that the wage stabilizatio; {issue should be turned over to was German, and had served as them.

Four groups of songs composed by Swartz were presented. Me was atcompaniéd by Miss Rose McLaughlin, Miss Irene Nelson ¢ Fred Lynch in a group of songs of his composition. Miss McLaughlin, in costume, sang “Sis Nelly” and Miss Nelson sang “Love Is a Question.” Mr. Lynch sang two songs, “Phantoms” and “Moonradio.” Miss Heleh Kelso was accompan- ist during the evening. Gov. Scott C. Bone, Judge T. M. Reed atid U. S. Attorriey A. G. Shoup, who had been on a trip to Hyder were due to arrive the following day. They made the round trip on the U. S. Coast Guard cutter Unalga. Jean Vanophem, President of the Alaska Jualin Mines Company, was to arrive on the Princess Alice, according to word received by H. L. Faulkner. Mr. Vanophem was accompanied by a party’ of three men interested in the company’s property at Jualin. Miss Lois Nordling, who had made the round trip to the Westward, returned to Juneau on the Northwestern. Attractions at the local theatres were Mable Normand in “Pinto” at Spickett’s Palace and “Too Wise Wives” with Cldire Winsor, Louis Calhern and Mona Lisa at the Coliseum. Mrs. H. C. Warwick, wife of one of the officers of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey ship Explorer und Miss Helen Smith left Juneau on the Estebeth for Haines. They were to be the house guests of Mrs. R. R. Goode, wife of Capt. Goode at Fort Seward for the next week. That Alaska had solid economic grounds for seeking admission on a basis of statehood into the Union and that the majority of the mem- bers of Congress would be friendly to the step was the belief voiced by Associate Forester E. A. Sherman, after studying conditions in the Territory. Weather was cloudy with a maximum temperature of 68 and a minimum of 56. Daily leSSOflS in Enqlish %’,' J.
