Even if the city should fall today, and that event has been expected for weeks, the battle for Stalin- grad will stand out as one of the greatest struggles of this or any other war. The fight for Moscow last year was in the semi- final class compared to this epic battle. More than 1,000,000 humans are involved in the struggle. This is the horror artist's dream of modern eombat come true. say muster week. If the dispatches from Russia are true, no invad- | ing force can keep up such a terrific onslaught as the Germans have done in the last several weeks and fail to suffer for it. If the Red Army can con- tinue to hold the Nazi Legions at bay in this battle, and force them to turn back for winter once z\ga'm the necessity for a second front may not be so acute. On Germany's home front the picture also is far | weapon. ing their toll. Thes have far from reached a climax. The Germans claimed long ago that they had iso- lated Stalingrad by cutting the lone rail connection between it and Moscow and by bombing shipping on the Volga River. But late dispatches tell of fresh Russian tank units reaching the beleaguered city also fresh troops. The Red Army is proving itself to be both strong and stubborn. rai and Worthy of Our Soldiers (Anchorage Times) The Campbell, Jr., has gone to some length answering criticisms of the guns and tanks being built for use | of American and other United Nations soldiery. His recent discussion at Salisbury, N. C., deserves | emphasis because he was as specific ‘as, under war conditions, an Army spokesman could be asked to be. For that reason he was convincing. And this is. :u time when we want, and need, to be convinced that “our weapons, ammunition and tanks are wor- | thy of our soldiers.” | “America’s colossal war production effort, excelling |as it does in quantity and quality the output of our | enemies, is turning out the finest tools ever placed in the hands of fighting men,” generalized General | Campbell, and then he became specific. Our machine guns are still’ firing when the enemy has to stop to change barrels. Our tanks have | beavier guns, heavier armament and greater speed. tank-guns out-range the best the enemy has. The Garand rifle speaks for itseM wherever it is | used. These things are reassuring. But even more re- assuring is General Campbell's discussion of certain armament items about which ugl\' rumor had been, rlmmbmg the public. It is not true, said this vxperl German Mark IV tank carries an 88-millimeter cannon. The gun is a low velocity 75-millimeter The high velocity cannon of equal caliber in our own M-3 tanks can be fired while the tank is in motion—which the Nazi weapon cannot—and. will blast big holes in & Hun tank at distances at, which enemy weapons cannot reach our tanks at all. The “new” German 88-millimeter anti-tank gun, |says General Campbell, “is about as secret as a water pistol. It has been known to us cnd our allies for at least 10 years.” The novel feature is the lNi\/l strategy of hiding thi weapon and lmpplngl |unwary British attackers. | “We outmatch this gun with several of our field and anti-tank guns. We, too, have double purpose | weapons. They are heavier in fire power, they | possess higher muzzle velocity and carry greater | explosive charges than the German 88-millimeter flatly, that the: | gun.” |gun | This is the sort of news which can propely be given to an anxious public without aiding the enemy. After all, as General Campbell remarks, “guns are machines. Nobody in the world makes better mach- ines than are made in the United States. You wouldn’t believe Germany or Japan could make bet- ter automobiles. Don’t believe they can make bet- ter guns. They ean't.” The bats which infest Carlsbad Cavern in New Mexico have started coming out an hour ahead of their customary schedule, Will some official of the government go out there and explain to them how n sary it is that everyone cooperate in the new war time?

Knox. For it some time various govern- ment officials have proposed that We cut off the purchase of gold, since it is now considered the most | useless metal in the world. How- ever, the State Department has said no. The State Department warns that | that if gold purchases were cut off, South African gold mines close down and there would be la- | bor unrest which would upset the war effort.
