The decision to postpone the match was made in an effort to co-operate with the Dominion government in the con. servation of tires, gasoline and man hours, ; It will be the second time in 29 years that the international match has been postponed, In 1918, the match. was postponed on a week's notice -because of an influenza ~épidemic, The matches started in 1918 with 82 entries and a few hundred spec- tators and grew steadily until the record match near St. Thomas in 1940 when there were more than 900 entries and an estimated at- tendance of 176,900, "Fortunately - the, Association has 80 branches and the board has recommended to the officers that they organize their own matches this fall, as so much de- pends on them," said Mr, Carroll," Stop~lren; Zi For quick relief from (tebing of nsec bites, beat rash, athiste's foot, ecsema and other extarnally septic, HOW Bo Frese Rainkas.

On the Other hand, the Japancse, who have long looked upon Russia as the hereditary enemy which must some day be decisively dealt with, realize even more keenly today that all thelr recent expensively purchased Pacific conquests will be wholly nullitied so long as Japan proper remains vulnerable to a short range, determined at- tack from the Siberian mainland, The first stage 0f the Japancse plan for hegemony, the "lreater Kast Asla Co-prosperity Sphere," may be aid to be already complet- ed, namely, the conquest of Brit. ish and Amerlcan territorial and commercial outposts such as Shanghai, Hong Kong, the Philip- pines, Malaya and Burma, This leaves four principal the- atres remaining for Dal Nippon's next concerted action, namely, India, Australia, China and Siber- ia. The monsoon season which al ready has started In India must discourage actlon there, at least for the next several months. * oo As for Australia, It would ap- pear that the Coral Sea defeat has delayed Japanese invasion plans there for time enough to enable suflicient, American ald to reach the~Antipodes to make Invasion in that direction extremely hazard- OVS, For a while it- was belleved that China had been selected for an all-out military drive, but with the Yunnan push petering out at the Salween river and the current itself as designod at most to clear tho rail route from Japan via Korea, Manchuria, China, Indo- China, Thailand and Malaya to Singapore, this leaves only Siber- ~ military aggression could be con- templated. But the Soviet will not be caught napping. Perennial squabbles with the Japanese long ago necessitated evitable showdown in Siberla. From the Russian-Japanese war of 1904 the Rugslans learned bitter lessons of the diflicultles encoun- tered by the supply services of an army in the field operating 5,000 miles from European bases. Railway 1s - today double-tracked, the conditions of modern warfare require the transport of more tons per man in terms of heavy guns, tanks, trucks, gasoline, ammuni. tion and general supplies. For this reason defence strategy In the tenslve colonization and develop- ment of Sbhieria's under-developed In the meantime, the Japanese have been paralleling the Siberian development with intensive, top- apeed preparation of Manchukuo as an Invasion base.

It was tho Austrian declara- tion of war on Serbia 28 years ago. Austria, dissatisfied with am< ends' Serbia was willing to make for the assassination of Archduke" Franz Ferdinand at' Sarajevo, took the first belligerent step In a conflict wheih became the First Great War and which ultimately résulted in the dismemberment of the Austro-Hungarian mon. arehy, ' The Archduke, heir to Franz Josef's throne, and his wife were slain by Gayrilo Princip on Juna 28, 1914, on a street in Sarajevo, where Franz Ferdinand was mak+ ing a state visit, On July 23, 1914, Austria pre- sented an ultimatum listing sweep- ing demands. She insisted on a purge of all clements in Serbia hostile to the Hapshurg monarchy, and demanded that Austrian offi- cers be allowed to conduct the purge, Serbia made far-reaching con- ~ cessions, but they were inadequate to Austria, and war was declared July 28, 1914, a month after the assassination, What Science Is Doing SPONGE IRON A strange wartime substitute was in the making last week--a substitute for scrap iron' and steel. It is called sponge Iron, and the U.S. Bureau of Mines has decided to risk $500,000 in ~~hurry-up -- development of the hitherto unpractical "process by which it is made. To make sponge iron, ore is not It is mixed with pul. be used) and coke, then fed to a large rotary kiln. When the kiln is heated to 1,800 degrees F., the powdered coal first robs the ore (iron oxide) of its oxygen, then turns into gas, leaving fairly pure iron granules which have a spongy texture. This stuff can then be fed to the steel furnaces. Steelmakers watch the project with contending doybts and hopes, If sponge iron can be made, it will head "off a decline in steel production caused by the ominous shrinkage of U.S. scrap iron re- sources. It may also cut the cost of steel by as much as $5 a ton, ~ In the last 90 years, the steel industry has spent n {utile efforts to make sponge iron, Catch in" the process is selection of an ore which can yield high- grade sponge. Plants in Sweden and Finland are now turning it out profitably, 'Until this summer, scrap iron and steel have always been abund- - ant, so steelmakers have relied on them for 40 to 60 percent of the charge in their furnaces, But. now the U.S, needs scrap -and needs it badly because there are not enough: ¢1) open-hearth fur- naces to produce steel at the slower rate required when. higher percentages of pig iron are used, (2) blast furnaces to make pig for the steel, The furnace handi- cap will be overcome if the sponge iron process can be perfected, since sponge iron plants can be built more quickly and cheaply than new blast furnaces, and are cheaper to operate.--Time.
