Scientists pooh-poohed the idea, but the facts remained, and no adequate explana- tion was given.” The Balkans Again? (Cincinnati Enquirer) It looks as if the Balkans, historic brew-pot for European strife, soon would assume a leading role in the tragedy of World War II. If Turkey decides to enter the conflict on the side of the Allies, or if she will supply ba: and passage for Allied troops, a push into Europe via the Balkan States is probable. In such an operation Turkey's geographical location would be of untold adavantage to the invaders Among the first probable moves in case of Turk- ish collaboration would be cutting off of Greece from Hitler's Europe. The entire Greek Peninsula would be vulne le to attack from two sides if Turkey be- comes one of the Allies or if Turkish bases are avail- able for use by Britain and the United States. Al- ready, with South Italy in our hands, American and British planes can storm across the Adriatic to attack German positions in Greece. But if the Turkish situa- tion develops as indicated. the Aegean will be crossed from the east, and twice as much power can be concentrated ainst the Nazis south of Yugoslavia ! and Albania The conquest of Aegean would be another probable Allied move, that would open shipping lanes from the Medit anean north through the Dardanelles and into the Black Sea.

So the Ramspeck committee has reversed itself, has now helped the Veteran Administration get a num- ber one priority from Budget Bu- reau. This puts them in the same category as the War and Navy De-| partments, and gives them the green light for uiting personnel.

The performance of anese-American troops in battle has more than justified this confidence in them Reports from Italy pay tribute to the bravery of one Jap-American battalion which was under heavy fire Most of its men were re- cruited from Hawaii.. They fought with great heroism and the casualty lists were very heavy. When Under-Secretary of War Patterson w in the Southwest Pacific not long ago, General Oscar Griswold asked him to meet his intelligence unit. Patterson stepped into the intelligence tent and there met five grinning Japs. They were not prisoners, but Hawaiian-bo and were entrusted with the vitally important job of translating intelli- gence information picked up from the enemy.

The ship was to be fastened to a huge mooring mast for six days, according to announce- ment from Lakehurst, N. J., the longest test having been made thus far | being 30 hours. The test was to determine the durability of the mast and the subject of a prolonged strain and also the effect on the Shenandoah was to be observed. Alaskan products shipped to the States during the month of December were just below $2,000,000 in value, according to the monthly statement of commerce issued by the Collector of Customs H. W. Frawley, operator in charge of the local U. S. Cable Office, left on the mail boat Estebeth for Haines. He had just completed his term of enlistment in the Army and was to be discharged at Chilkoot Barracks. He was to re-enlist and return here, continuing in his present position Official reports received by R. C. M héad of the U. S.
