By Capt. Elmore Philpott GUESSES SPOT FOR SECOND FRONT Where Will The Second Front be opened? That is a question which will soon be answered by action, and flot by newspaper dis- cussion. But meanwhile if is in- teresting for us Canadians 10 think about il. For if us a ten-to- one bel that when the long-ex- pected landing is made our main Canadian overseas force will lie in if. If may be that now that oui' First Division is in the Medi- terranean area il will be kept there for awhile. But what has happened ini several weeks of fierce fighfing in Sicily has shown that our Canadian troops are trained, fit and equipped f0 meet the pick of Hifler's men as were their fathers and eider brothers able 10 meet and beat the Kaiser's best. For there is no reason 10 be- lieve thaf oui' fine First Division is to any marked degree superior as a fighting entity 10 the other simitar Canadian formations now poised in Britain ahi set to strike. General Giraud Has Stated flatly that a large-scale Allied in- vasion is possible froin the west- ern coast of France. Thaf might well be coupled with a simultan- eous attack from the Mediter- ranean coast. Il la no secret fhat the systemalic devastafion of rail- ways by the R.A.F. has not been applued un these districts, but rather concentrated between Ger- may and France. This would give our invading troopa an advaulage -and impose a greater handicap on the Germans than if the at- tack were made across the Eng- tish Channel or North Sea. I think Norway can be safely ruled ouf in this respect. The riaks and probable loases in an attack on Norway would be juat about as great as un an attack on Hitler's so-called muner fortress. But even if completely succesaful the possible later advantages would be minor as compared with a successful landing in Denmark, G e rm any, the Lowlands or France. For once an Allied army, however sinail, has landed and consolidated an adequate bridge- head on the Confinent itseif. Ger- many's defeat becomes only a matter of months. And until sucli a landing is made and consolidaI- ed, there is no sure and final proof, f0 the Germans or anybody else, that they cannot hold ont for years. The Ideal Spot For Landing would be in Denmark. If thi6 could be extcnded to include a spearhead across the Kiel Canal the whole war might well eî'id in a matler of weeks. The Daruish site has other obviaus advantages. Even if only successful lu spots there la reason 10 believe that a foothold could lie maintained. Denmark is ringed about with islands. Once firmly on any one of these we have an excellent chance f0 cnt Germany's supply hunes 10 Norway. But the disadvaufage of the Danish invasion plan is that Den- mark is too far from Britain Ici provide that overwhelming um- The By-Elections "If iever i'aiis luit if poîu's is a <'011- mmonî saîiug. \Vithi thiat as a hasis foi' coinu- imenut, TIhc Sîafesuianii n-ugs tu flue mîîtit'cof ifs rcadcm-s xx-lîî hax-e een i h uhsv f0 keehi inlu e Ioîl wxitlu politii-al ft'ends, tluuse sig- lifieantiffacîs: On Weiluiestiay, Auguisl 411î.

There Ils No Such Thing As complete surprise in an attack such as will be necessary in the second front. The Germans know very well thaf in spite of the great Soviet drives at Orel, Bryansk and Kharkov, the greatest of ahl Soviet offensives is sf111 10 come. They know if wilt come near Smolensk-that is on the shorteat and most direct line 10 Berlin. My own guess is that the saine principle will surely apply on the Western front. Our' Canadian boys wiil be back int Europe, wifh their British and American feammafes, nof far fromn where Churchill's distinguished ances- for, Marlborough, entered the Continent; not far fromn where Wellington landed 10 lieat Na- poleon; not far fromn where most Canadians went in f0 fîghf World War I-not far from where the British came out aI Duukirk. For the shortest distance lie- tween fwô points is -sf111 the sfraight line. And the beaf way to knock out an already visibly wobbling prizefighler is to hif humn with everything but the kitchen sink on the point of the jaw. Il doesn't always work-but if neyer works until if's tried. JAPAN HAS ACE 0F TRUMPS UP SLEEVE Italy Is Out of The War AIready for practical purposea. The Allies can knock her ouf whenever they feel like if, by doing 10 ah Ifalian cilles what thcy did 10 Hamburg. Even the most conservative mil- itary men now admit that the de- feat of Germany is but a matter of montha away. But only a minor- ity of Allied leaders believe that Japan can be beaten before the end of 1944. The most cautions say if will fake till 1949. But the others base optimisrn on the saine premise as does Senator Pepper of Florida. That la, that once Germany la beaten the Soviet will declare war on Japan, and s0 provide the Allies with conveni- ent bases froin which Japan can lie attacked by air, sea and land aI close quartera. That seema 10, me like the moat dangerous of wlshful thinking. If violates the oid cowboy rule, based on horse-sense, which says "neyer bet on another man's trick".

Moreover, lu main- taiuing neutrality lu the war on the Finnish front the United States herself la now setting a poor precedent.
