Germans Improving Anfi-Aircraft Fire, British Learn Tremendous Quantity Of Light and Heavy Guns Used in Defense Wide World News. LONDON.—The Germans appear to be scoring with what is reported to be much-improved anti-aircraft defense. Take the reports on two of the mass raids the British made in No- vember, which cost them 56 bombers —37 on November 6 and 19 the night of November 30. Although the British blamed “devilish weather” for half the losses earlier in the month, defenses got the rest, and were reported to have been responsible for the losses | on November 30. Recent heavy bomber losses are frankly attributed to the concen- tration and accuracy of the German round defenses. g"Jerry is using searchlights by the hundreds” one British pilot sald, “but the funny thing lately is that they all seem to switch on at once. We go in in darkness, no beams around, and level out at bombing height. Sudden_}y a great wall of light flashes up.’ Terrific Gun Barrages. Another sald: “People in this country think they've got gun bar- rages, but none of them compares with the tremendous concentration of light and heavy guns the Ger- m:unsmlrd added that he believed the Germans used night fighters only “in the country,” and let the ground defenses take care of at- tacks on big military, naval and industrial centers. The opposing argument was that | British losses were due to the fact that their bombers went “down and in” for their objectives, and didn’t stay high and out of range like | the Germans—a view which found lenty of support. P "Inyerry tried to attack British targets at the same height as we | did those in Germany they'd have a different tale to tell” was & further comment. “It doesn’t mat. No Recent Mass Raids. Protagonists of the British meth- Heroic Russian Women Play Vital Role in War With Nazis Forming a Second Line of Defense, They Do Everything but the Fighting By GEORGE VAN SLYKE. Close behind the German Armies in retreat from Moscow there is a second line of Russian defense whose deeds of valor and sacrifice are only now becoming known, but which, when the history of this World War is finally set down, will be one of the most dramatic tales of all times. It is the saga of the Soviet women. What has been written of the bravery and endurance of Russian women, is now being proved in a hundred activities behind the battle front. There have been stirring stories of the heroism of women in many lands and many wars but it is doubtful if ever before has the ‘woman population of a nation been mobilized for defense and actual participation in warfare as in this Russian epic. Millions of women are doing the work of men in factories, on the farms, on ships, in home defense, in the air service and on the rail- roads. But that is not all. Thou- sands of women, some in organized groups and more as volunteers, are following up their armies as the Russians press the Nazis back across the frozen battlefields of Northern Europe. Do Invaluable Service. ‘That service of the second line of defense is of almost incalculable benefit for the armies, the experts have reported. In the blighting sub- zero cold now encompassing the od of anti-aircraft defense seemed i|| untroubled. They argued that, as a whole, “we get the better re- sults,” adding “anyway the Ger- mans haven't tried a mass raid for | a long time. When they do—well, | I'd better not say any more.” | One remarked that “the ratio of | | German losses compared to the | number of planes sent over is much higher than ours, and I think 1'.1; | will remain 50.” | He added, “Our searchlights do | and Jerry | knows it.” | i their job all right, =J| It was pointed out that British ACCOUNTANCY AND BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Walton Accounting Texts Classes Leading to B.

The Ger- mans are perishing on the blanketed steppes from lack of food. Forming their voluntary auxil- iaries, the women are reported to be following the armies providing food, hot drinks and bringing up warm clothing for their men. And they carry their own rifles and machine guns. They conduct a kind of guer- rilla warfare of their own, picking off the German stragglers. Russian women often are expert shots. The curtain of mystery which hung over the Russian front de- ceived the Germans in their esti- mate of the Soviet strength in men and arms. It kept the diplomats of the world in uncertainty. Hitler was unable with all his subtle fifth- column schemes to penetrate that veil. And until the present hour, the potential force of that great second line of defense has been un- known.

Refreshing and evacuated nations. The cows, pigs and hens have survived in the in- terior. Women have taken over the jobs of men as overseers, running the collective farms. ‘That phase of the Russian strug- gle for survival, however, is not as remarkable considering the charaec- ter of the people as is their adaptability to the more technical branches of industry where men have been relieved for service. ‘Women by the tens of thousands are working from 12 to 20 hours daily in factories calling for highly trained mechanical skill. They are running the lathes and assembly lines which turn out munitions. Women Pilot Airline Planes. ‘Tatyana Pyzhova is a military en- gineer of first rank in .charge of specialized industry at one of the great armored car establishments. A young woman said to have great ability is now head of the airways department of the civil air fleet and thousands of young women fiyers have replaced men pilots who are throwing bombs on the retreating Nazis. Eight thousand women sailors are employed regularly as sailors on Soviet ships serving commercial purposes, and another 20,000 are reported doing the work of men on| river boats and plers. Several ‘women are captains of Soviet tramp steamers running in the inland waters, and one young woman of 28 | is captain of a seagoing ship. Another young woman, who was the first locomotive driver of her sex in Russia, is head of the Mos- cow railway which operates all the transit lines in the entire Moscow area. She never left her post and maintained service during the black days of the Moscow siege, it is | reported. Other women technicians are serving with the second line of defense close up to the front, and they are credited with being par- ticularly sccurate with their hand some day to thrill the world. The best information available is that there are no armed regiments of women soldiers fighting along- side the men at the front, as has been reported frequently. That story undoubtedly grew out of the fact that the women have been seen in the second line, not far from the front. ‘ The Germans did not estimate correctly the ability, determination or courage of Russian women. That is another of the miscalculations the Hitler command made. Just as they underestimated the resistance and solidarity of the Soviet Union, the danger of being caught in that ter- rific blanket of subzero cold, so they overlooked many lesser factors Washingteni: iri medations 4t ey Republie 2411 (Day or Night) Hotel NEW YORKER New York Frank L.
