The Allies captured 40,000 of these. We have no desire to minimize the battle losses of the American armies.

Miss Perkins is staying on the job “by request,” her heart not in the work, and never able to cope with these big strikes. Meanwhile, some White House advisers suggest that various moves could be made in advance to head off John L. Lewis, such as bringing home several hundred deco ed heroes who live in mine areas, and who could im- press the miners with what coal means at the front. However, there is no far-sighted Secretary of Labor on the job to head off a national catastrophe. “GENERAL" ¢ ELLIOTT ROOSEVELT Tt didn’t leak out of the Senate Military Affairs Committee, but last week, its new chairman, Sen- ator Elbert Thomas of Utah, made move probably dimed to confirmation of Elliott as a brigadier g all m a deft facilitate Hitherto sent tc Senate to a M ary Aff s & tee headed by Happy C mmit- dler of This com- recomme 1 1e promotions Thomas told t week that this been her cum- believed it should ther an committee had ra bersome be dispensed spoke up tion remar and he with a job for would be a examine these 1 chairman of was decided f take milita committee therefore Roosevelt's the Had a sub-commit matter it might up considerably longer ave be UNDER THE ROME Able Lauchlin Currie, whom President said could not be | remaining battleships have kept out of the western Baltic because {of England-based bombers and took refuge around Danzig.
