War Outlook
Military men who remember the
llddan collapse of Germany in 1918
predict a repetition of this debacle
by early ’44 They even predict that
Germany will request an Allied Ar-
my Of Occupation. First, to prevent
revolution and chaos at home, and
secondly, as protection against out-
raged neighbors. The German cause-
la tied to the ambition of one man
—-Hitler. He rose to power as a
demi-God, a superman, and a com-
municant of destiny. He

was ac-
cepted by the German people as their
infallible and omniscient Fuehrer in
1940. Now their idol is crumbling
into common clay as the morale of
the people softens Behind this is
the dread of Russia for retaliation.
Sicily will fall in a few days Then
Italy will be attacked in a furious
all-out assault Mussolini, dazed by
cowardly fear, will flee for safety.
Germany and Italy, due to old an-
tipathies, in the place of pulling to-
gether are pulling apart. A British
Army will move up through the Bal-
kans; a French Army will strike at
the Southern Coast of France; the
Russian Army will move in from the
east; and the Allied Army north
through the Brenner Pass, squeezing
Germany in a coordinated fou&-
prong movement she cannot resist.
She will make frantic peace over-
' tures to Russia but to no avail Her
submarines failed to destroy our sea-
power and her planes are unable to
protect her cities A major military
disaster and Germany may not last
through the winter Our military
plans are far ahead of schedule. The
word has spread in Italy that the
Americans will bring food " Thus has
lessened resistance In fact, it has
brought actual support. Our casu-
alty lists are low, and as a whole,
our"war effort is going triumphantly
Increased Allotments
Legislation increasing allotments’
to dependent childn n of Army and
Navy enlisted men m the four low- j
er grades was introduced before the
summer recess. It will very likely
receive favorable action when Con-
gress reconvenes in September. On
an average, the proposed increase is
about 10 per cent. The present al-
lotment provides S12 per month for
the first child and $10 per month for
each additional child The propos-
ed legislation would raise the first
child to $18 per month and each ad-
ditional child to $11 per month Pay-
ment to a wife with no children
would remain the saint1, which is $50
per month. The bill provides in-
creased payments to Class B depend-
ents—parents, brothers, sisters and
grandchildren. The Army and Navy
have endorsed this pending legisla-
tion to meet the increased living
costs of dependents, many of whom
have no other source of income.

Boyce House Pays
Tribute to the
“Country Editor”
i "Did you ever stop to think of the
■unselfish service rendered by the
home town editor.., the ones that
we effectionately n for to as ‘coun-
try editors’"" Boyce House, widely
known Texas author, asked 300,000
radio listeners on the "I Give You
Texas and the Gnat Southwest,"
heard each ■ Sunday at 12:'15 over
Lone Star Chain stations. House
continued:
“Confronted by a shortage of la-
bor and supplies, with higher taxes
which he must pay and his share
and the time tires made of synthetic
rubber will be available for civilian J of war bonds to be bought, the home
use. The best available estimate is j town editor is not only carrying on
that this crisis will continue for the
next six months, a deficit of more
than 3.000,00 tires is anticipated dur-
ing that period.
Rural dealers throughout the
southwest have been advised to place
their"orders for the emergency tires
directly from the Rubber Manufac-
turer's Association, or the Defense
Supplies Corporation.
This is the "last call" on these
tires. A dealer may order as low as
25 tires or as many as 200. Deliv-
ery price to the dealer is 50 cents
and the retail price to the consumer
one dollar.
OPA also announced a general
"tightening up" in the issue of sup-
plemental gasoline rations in a new
conserve automobiles
and tires. This will be accomplished
through stricter enforcement of ex-
isting regulations.

his peace-time service to the com- i
munity but is contributing immeas-
urably to the war effort. The bond- j
selling campaigns, the Red Cross and j
the USO drives—these could not be i
a success without the tremendous aid ;
that the home town press has freely J
given.
"The editors of Texas are con- j
tributing to the war also by helping ,
to maintain the morale on the home
front, m the army camp and on the
firing line because they print sol-
diers' letters, which the folks at [
home crave; and the papers go to
the men in uniform, with the news
about the every-day things and the
institutions of normal life that they i
are fighting to preserve and that j
they look forward to coming back *
to, when this terrible war is over. |
"If I were gifted with the wizard- J
ry of words possessed by a Henry ’
Grady or a Charles Dickens, perhaps 1
I could then give an adequate tri-
bute to that grand fellow—the coun-
try editor. .
"My father was one.
"Did you ever hear of a Texas
editor committing suicide? No—he
weaves his life into the life of his
community. His own personal af-
fairs become small and unimportant
alongside the affairs of his town and

and having too much fun doing
things for others to do something
wrong for their awn selfish interest.
"Where would the schools, the
church and government itself be if
it were not for the editor? No man
gives more in building civic enter-
prises and receives less in the form
of material reward. And if words
are lacking with whicn adequately
to eulogize the country editor, then

Benito Mussolini’s 21-year rule
over Italy ended Sunday night when
King Vittorio Emanuele accepted his
resignation and appointed Marshal
Pietro Badoglio to succeed him as
head of a military government to
“stand against those who have
wounded the sacred soil of Italy.”
“The war continues,” said the 71-
i year-old Badoglio, whom Mussolini
ousted as chief of staff three years
*6°- ■ Italy can get out of the war only by

II Duce’s fall, with the shadow of
defeat and disaster hanging over his
country, was widely regarded here
as a crack in the solid front of the
Axis.
A British authority said: "It’s ter-
rific news, but Italy still is in the
war and it must be emphasized that
the conditions remain the same—
indeed is one at a loss ot portray his
loyal, sympathetic understanding,
patient, hard-working, self-sacrific-
ing life partner—the country editor’s
wife.”

to VICTORY
Tom and I figure that every War Bond we
buy is another step toward Victory — and
that all-electric kitchen we’ve wanted for so
long. Of course, our main purpose in buying
bonds is to lick the Axis. That comes ahead
of everything else. But just the same it’s
nice to know that when the war’s over we’ll
have a nest egg built up with which to Carry
out our plans for post-war better living.
We’re buying bonds to guarantee freedom
frpm oppression today—and freedom from
household drudgery tomorrow!
There's a great incentive ter making
every sacrifice you can today. For after
the war, new materials and new produc-
tion methods now being perfected, will
bring finer electrical appliances and bel-
• electrical living for everyone.
