A New Kind of Clinic
When we think of a clinic gen-
erally our minds turn to dislocat-
ed bones, fractures, and other
physical ailments belonging to the
human body, but the war is bring-
ing on a new kind of clinic.
It is the business clinic , and
business men meet to discuss cur-
rent problems of dislocation and
changes’ Occurring in their busi-
ness.
£nd there are plenty of chang-
es being made and the business
which does not keep alive to the
necessity of adjusting ittelf even
to radical changes, in order tc
save the business for future car-
rying on,. may find the patient
dead from lack of proper treat-
ment
This is a time when new a'tera-
t'unr of a radical kind are to be
made to keep a busi.i » going,
ard while some may comiier a
“step backward" it had best be
done in order to gain new posi-
tion* than to try and hold the old
lines and do business as usual and
lose the business war.
Talking the other day with a
managing editor of a large Dal-
las paper, the statement was
made that this war situation was

Itarti with light exercise but at the end of six
months a soldier is going through a daily routine
that would have flattened him the first day. The
progressively more strenuous activities arc coupled
with training to sharpen the soldier's wits so that
he may act wisely and swiftly when on his own.
Many of these men trained in Canada will be
picked for commando service overseas. As example
of the physical training (left) two infantrymen, in

LONDON, Aug. 5—The British
today believe that Nazi U-boats
may be finding things a little
tough for their liking off the Am-
erican coast.
Official British sources point to
the decreased scale of submarine
attacks In American waters as in-
dicating that U-boats may have
been forced to seek other waters'
in which to prey on allied ommerce.!
They say that the increased de-|

(MOSCOW, Aug. 5—Reinforced
German onslaughts have bent
’ badk both wings of the Don-
Caucasus line, overriding desper-
ate Red Army countr attacks in
the anchor zones of Kletskaya
and KushcheWa and surging forty
miles from Salsk down tc the area
of Belaya Glina, the high com-
mand acknowledged today.
iA communique for the first time
omitted Salsk from the list of
battlefields and in its place put
Belya Glina, forty miies to the
southwest down in the Stalingrad-
Krasnodar railway and the same
distance from Tikhor-tsa, the jun-
tion of the main lines into the
Caucasus.
Farther west in the Kushchev-
ka area, the high command said
the Germans ceaselessly attacked
Soviet defensive positions, and
while a majority of the assaults
were repulsed, the enemy advan-
ced in one sector.
"Stubborn battles with changing
success continue in the area of
one populated place,” the com-
munique added.
(The Germans claimed the cap-
! ture of Voroshilovsk, 180 miles
! south of the Don, in a niney-five
| mile drive south from Salsk-
i Voroshilovsk Is only twenty-
* five miles above the southeasterly
stretch of the Rostov-Baku rail-
road skirting the Caueusas Moun-
tains. Berlin said the Kuban
River, 125 miles souht of Rostov
and fifty-five miles north of the
Maikop oil center, had been
reached at several points.)
The most surprising Red army
reversal came in the Don elbow
seventy mils northwest of Stalin-
grad, where on the Kletskaya
front "the Germans brought up
new reserves and at heavy cost
slightly prsesed back our units,"
after several days of fighting
around a large community.
