Re N hh AR oa, Bos ad Se ed Yeti 2 ~ ny » oN ~ ON Vo SEN A a re Russians Masters Of 'Encirclement' Red Army Has Learned Much From the Germans The young but strong Russian Army fighting back so fiercely and confidently, driving the best of the German troops before fit, Is an army that has learned much-- a lot of it from its enemy, . At the moment all along the front the operation is one of beau- tifully-timed encircloments. There is no secret about the Red Army tactics which have put the Germans on 'the run, Tle Russians scout and begin thelr encirclements fast-moving units which {include atrplanes, air _sledges which can go better than 100 miles an hour, cavalry and motorized infantry, then with Plenty of Artillery When artillery is needed to blast the Germans from thelr. positions they have plenty of ft--and ft Is plenty big. Throughout the whole drive the artillery has been the real backbone. - Soviet mobile units have achlev- ed great skill in cutting up the enemy's front. Their tanks, on which Tommy-gouners ride, strike with great effect. The Russians say their medium tank, called the 34, is the best medium tank in the wérld. You certainly seo few of them stand- ing about the battlefield, They also have sleds, the horse. drawn variety, by the thousands, When the snow gets deep they are vital to battle operations. But I have yet to sce the Germans us- ing any of them. The commanders impress with their great confidence in victory. This was apparent when I visited the front last winter as the Rus- sians then had the Germans on the run--but it definitely was not on this scale. They are not laughing at the Jermans, however. They still pay - them considerable tribute as fight ers. But the commanders all say Hitler won't come_bounding back next summer. The present woa- ther, they say, should be ideal for the derman armored forces and motorized units, Falth In Stalin Every soldler and officér T talk- od with possessed a deep, almost o Monkey Business 7a g 9 HEAR NOTHING: WHICH MIGHT Ba USEFUL TO THa religious faith, fn Premier Stalin's direction of the war. They gave him full credit for everything. The fighters are finely equipped in clothes. / Soldlers generally wear the famous Russian Valinki, -- a felt boot that comes to the knee, or above, if wanted, Thelr uniforms are thick and so Is their under wear, Most of them prefer a fur-llned hat "to a steel helmet 'fu winter weather, ' ART Their gloves are deep, fur-lined and equipped with trigger fingers. Their Tommy-gun 18 a neat, eas- ily-handled, light little weapon, They also carry an ugly-looking knife, Little Vodka The Red Army front-line fighter gets 100 grams (314 ounces) of vodka daily which, it you downed ft all at once, wouldnt give you a "belt." I have never yet seen a bottle on a Russlan soldier or any soldier drinking. In his daily dlet the fighter gets 00 grams of bread--that {s, two oaves. There are three meals, which include 130 grams (4% ounces) of meat And 40 grams of butter, . Up here at the front we have been eating well--far better tham we eat in Moscow, Canada Develops gis Mercury Mine Since the war began Canada has developed a merciry mine which is the only large one of its kind in the British Empire.

In a liner striking heavy weath. er in mid-ocean, some of the pas- sengers were very uncomfortable. Watching a miserable-looking man who "was bending over the 'sida~of the ship, a fair young thing turned to the woman at her side.

Horace Greeley (the great American editor) always insisted that the word "news" was plural, and demanded that it be used as such.

Despite the Nazis' thorough miking of the produce. of the oc- cupled countries, the German diet fs coarse, monotonous and lacking in such edible foods as meat, anl- mal fats and white bread. Food production in Axis-held Europe in the 1942-43 crop year will fall short of ordinary "civilian requirements, it was said, but it is not expected seriously to {impair the German war effrt. =~ * Although the Germans ere sub stituting less valuable vegetable protein for scarce animal protein, 'the substitulon Is not expected to diminish by a considerable amount the physical powers of the people this year.

Doth the European grain and fruit crops were cut last year as a consequence of had' weather, and the fish catch -- affected by the blockade, the ship shortage and danger of mines--Is still below normal, it was sald, but practically every country in Europe reported an increased potato crop.

The' average metal razor weighs two ounces; the new plas. tic razor only three-quarters of an opnce, It requires 125 pounds of brass, steel and zinc to make a thousand meta: razors, but only five pounds to make a thousanl plastic razors. These five pounds go inte a small screw at the top of the handle. Since about 12,- 000,000 metal razors are pro- duced annually in 'normal times, it follows that a million and a half pounds of fine etal could be saved by making razors of plastics instead of metals.

Woll (Columbia) disapproves of the habit because it is one of the chief causes of nearsightedne's When heads hang down eyeballs are stretched, so that the distance between the re- tina and the lens is increased, One Austrian physiciun went so far us to harness a class of chil- dren so that they could not get too close to their work. Result: - A 'reduction in the. percentage of nearsightednss. Dr. Woll prefers to enlarge the print so that when a funny is brought close to the eye the field of vision is narrow- ed.
