Today’s War Moves—

By J. W. T. MASON United Press War Expert

Italy's first offensive movement against the Allies, of --any importance, , may be expected to take the form of air and submarine operations.

Italy supposedly has the largest fleet of undersea craft of any European power, and while her air corps is secondclass the Allies are not at present in a position to con¢entrate large numbers of combat planes along the Italian frontier or in the Mediterranean. At the same time Mussolini's principal obiecitive must be the French Army, which has talon position’ along the| new Alpine front. Until he meets lis mountain foe all other operations will be secondary. It was shrewd strategy for “Mussolini to decide to concentrate his

feat of France as its primary ob-| jective. He should, therefore, strike with all his power against the Alpine defenses which so powerfully guard the French frontier. The problem before him is difficult and demands, above all - a quick decision. - Mountain warfare involving mechanized troops and heavy artillery calls for exceptional use of petrol under modern condiItaly's local supply is limited to 80,000 tons yeariy from Albania. The war against the Allies will probably call for more than that amount weekly. Italy's war may be described as a race of time against petrol, not to mention. other essential raw. materials which Mussolini will be unable to import. . A quick offensive on a large scale, therefore, has become essential for Italy if Mussolini expects to play an important part ing | the outcome of the war.

CTY EXPECTED TO RANK 20TH

‘Advance Census Figure From Seattle Indicates New Rating Here.

On the basis of pieliminary counts, Indianapolis appears to have a advanced from the 21st largest United States city to the 20th. This “was revealed today when the Seattle, Wash., census stpervisor announced that city’s 1940 count appears to be 366,847. John H. Duffey, assistant area nianager- in Indianapolis, said “we've got that beat a mile and we still are finding people we haven't enumerated.”

390,000 Estimated Here The best guess is that Indianapolis population will be about 390,000. Seattle beat Indianapolis out in 1930 by a scant 1422 residents and

The reason that the Seattle: population has tended to “level out,’ was explained in the same way that census officials here account for fhe fact the ‘Indianapolis will not go, over the 400,000 mark—the large! rumber of former residents of the

area. The periodical cicada is about the size of the end. joint of your little finger with large, thick, transparent, prominently-veined wings.

Near the tip of each wing is a brilliantly orange-colored marking shaped like a “W”, which some persons ‘believe is a sure sign of a coming war. This year their prophetic ability is a little late. Cicadas can neither sting nor bite, so that it is perfectly safe to handle them, according to Frank N. Wallace; state entomologist. The males, which ,are the only ones that sing, wili even turn out a solo as you hold them. The insects are practically harmless to vegetatiton. The only mischief | they do is to the green twigs of trees, mostly oaks.

Census Covers 91% of Nation

By Institute of Public Opinion PRINCETON, N. J., June 11. —Evidence that the long job of conducting the decennial U. S. census is nearing completion comes from an independent study By the American Institute of Public Opinion, which found that 91 per cent ot the ‘men and women reached in a cross-section of the voting population saying they had ‘been reached by the census enumerator; 5 per cent replied they had not been reached. Only 1 per cent said the census taker had called but had not been able to find them at home or to obtain the necessary information.
