Three nights a week the city’s igh school will throw open its nasium to men and women in ‘the community who wish to engage in a voluntary physical education program The city’s school board has voted to furnish the facilities of the hool on Monday, Tuesday and ednesday evenings and two intruectors, Glynn Downey, Beech rove physical education teacher ind coach, and Miss Laura Webb, f education teacher from Franklin, have offered their services ree, Men Have Two Nights
Beech Grove men may use the gymnasium from 8:30 to 10 each Monday and Wednesday evening and the gym will be open to women on Tuesday evenings, L. B. Mann, Beech Grove school superintendent, said. . Mr. Mann, who will be in charge lof the program, said about 50 per|sons can be accommodated in the | gymnasium each evening. {| The program will begin slowly so | that adults who haven't engaged in | physical exercise for a number of | years won't tire themselves out on | the first night and lose heart, Mr | Mann said.
May Be Expanded
‘The program will include settingexercises, basketball, volley ball, H wp pong and other athletic games. | |As demand for other forms of ath- { letics for adults grows, the program | lwill be expanded, Mr. Mann Said. | He said the program grew out of la, discussion with Harold Stafford
| lschool in the State eventually will |affer its facilities to adults for ath- | |letic “exercise after school hours. || {The aim of the program, Mr. | (Mann said, is not only to allow ‘adults to enjoy physical exercise, 'but to make them feel that they ' lalso have accomplished something. | “An after-school athletic program ‘that the school has operated for two years with the aid of WPA inSiucions will continue, Mr. Mann I said, although it may-have to be | curtailed to make way for the i pupils’ mothers and dads.

certain in this war, and so urpredictable, that no man in his ight senses would Jun he could @ be certain ‘of the/ answers to ihese questions with too much assurance, and extent to which American production can be increased. The speed with which this can
land these elements in the prooiem, too, are still unsure. But subject [to these reservations, this much, at jeast, may be said:
Hitler most] probably can go on fighting longer than six months and longer than 12 months, although it will become increasirigly difficult for Lim to do so, just as it will become increasingly difficult
for the Britis to do so.
And while Hit er’s chances o! winning will tend to decline after the next several months--always assuming that British morale holds up and that American aid to iteelf in the form of aid to Britain becomes effective enough soon enough-Hit-ler still will have a chance to win.
The gravest mistake the world has made for years, and is still making, is und lerestimating Hitler and Germany.
Hitler, in dny event, is aking all his arrangpments to go on fighting the war, jand trying to win it, even if the wer should last much longer than dix months or « year, and even it should therefore require the use of| somewhat different methods, and operations on a considerably larger scale and throughout much more extensive areas.
The first ob) sctive of Nazi policy is to beat Britain within the next six months, which can be dos only by paralyzing the Britisk, = Isles themselves. The pursuit of this objective ig the iArst motive fo} Nazi action today. The second motive is a desire to make all necessary arrangements for prosecuting the war longer, and in new ways and new places should this first objective prove impossible

for attempted invasion.
Revealinglthat Great Britain now has 4,000,000 armeil and uniformed men “who will play a part in the defense of our hearth and home,” Prime Minister Churchill painted an optimistic picture of BritMunitions, too, are piling up and flowing to vital defense areas.
One such point is pictured above—an east coast battery, where artillerymen are checking a shipment of 9.2-inech Shell and trundling them off to the storehouse.

Germons Believe They'll Win i in 6 Months But Prepare to Carry On Indefinitely
tion for much of what the Nazis are doing today: For the Nazis are trying to crpate their “new order” (which a Hage ang witty diplomat has called | the “new disorder”) as they go ajong in this war, instead of waiting [until the war is over, as most counjries at ‘war have done in the past. The Nazis have a double motive in| this. They want to save time, ang be able to ‘begin operations in |{heir own way at the first possible moment and on the largest possible scale, which is highly profitable to them. And they want to discourage their enemies from fighting, by saying in efiect to them: “There is no use your going on, because we have done so much, and are doing so mueh, right now to set up the kind of Europe and the kind of a world we want--the kind of a Europe and world jou say yo are fighting to prevent being set up— that it will be impossible for ypu to prevent it, even if you win thg war, so you might as well quit right ne WW. ” The argument is specious, of course. But the Nazis hope a lot of people in England, the United States and the rest of the | world will not see just how specious it is, and will be at leas? somewhay discouraged.
The Nazis are now engaged in’ three main military operations, designed to servi these several purposes. They are waging the blitzkrieg against England iiself, they are concentrating troeps on the whole long frontier with Russia, all the way from the Arctic Circle to the Black Sea, and they are sending some aid to Italy.
The primary purpose of th bat~ fle against Britain is to be:dt the Bnglish within the next few months by paralyzing the British Isles. The bomhers are the spearhead ¢f this attack, in the sense that the war in the air is more liable f¢ beat Britain quickly than any other form of war except a landing operation, and adequate air preparation is necessary for a landing operation, 00. The war at sea i3 taking a terrible toll of shipping, but in itself cannot beat Britain in the imniediate
And there is still a third explana-
future. .
Se
But the war against the British Isles will also have to be carried on if the war lasts longer than six months or a year. It will, in fact, be at least as important then as it is for a short-term war. In this sense, the attack on England serves the purposes of a protracted conflict, too. And finally, the war against England also serves the purpose of setting up a new German world order.
U-boats are doing to the British will handicap England's ability to function as a national and international economy for years to come, and give Germany and its friends a corresponding advantage.
Wants to Protect Rear
The concentration of troops along the German - Russian frontiers equally serves all three of the Nazis’ main purposes. German-Russian, German-Japanese and GermanItalian relations, all of which are involved in these troop movements, will be discussed at more length in subsequent articles in the present series. For the present, however, this much may be said:
Germany wanis te protect its rear, in the East, chiefly against Russia, for the winter and spring campaigns against England in the West. It wants to secure its own military position in the Balkans apart from the equivocations of Russia’s position, It wants to set about creating its own kind of a new order in the Balkans for the indefinite future. And it wants to put itself in a position to wage a long war should that prove nec» essary.
For if the war lasts indefinitely || longer, Germany will want to un-|| dertake operations on a greatly ex-|| panded scale, and in theaters of action where it will not be necessary to fight if England is beaten soon.
For to fight a protracted conflict, the Reich would want to drive England out of the Eastern Med - terranean, and tq secure its own economic position in the Balkans! on a sounder and broader foundéa- | tion than it is now secured, and it might want to strike southeast toward Bagdad and even at Russia. One Interest in Italy
‘As for Italy, the Germans have] only one main interest for the near | future: They want to be sure that Italy will not collapse, or be stricken by too serious internal ‘disorders or stoppages of prodyction or declines in morale. one of these things, the Nazis think, is liable to happen during the near future even if the Fascists should be driven clear out of Albania and North Africa. Mussolini, the Nazis think, is eminently capable of dealing with anything liable to develop in the near future. There is no reason to suppose that the Reich considers it necessary to “garrison” Italy with large numbers of troops or police. While units of both Nazi forces may be in Italy, they are probably there as advisers or aqbservers, or on their way to take up positions elsewhere. There are two more theaters in
because the damage that the Nazi planes and surface raiders and ji

which operations may be undertaken in the near future: The Ger. mans may move into unoccupied France, and then move into Spain or Portugal, or both, The Nazis would prefer not to move into unoccupied France. The military -advantages of such a move would be inconsequential, and there would be two outstanding disadvantages. What About Gibraltar? First, France would tend to react toward a greater degree of coherent national unity; and second, the large French Army in North Africa, and some of the surviving units of the French fleet, would probably go over to the Britisa. If the Nazis go into Spain it will be primarily to take Gibraltar and thus pinch off the British in the Mediterranean, and to obtain new bases for planes, U-boats, surface raiders—and troop transports—along: the British shipping lanes to Africa and around e cape, as well as across the Atlantic, still further bases from which a landing operation against England itself could be undertaken.
