into position into the Stalin Line, which is supposed to be deep. So far there is no evidence that the Germans have penetrated it, although they claim to have made a dent in

a part of the outer works. When the war started, unofficial German sources indicated that the schedule called for a break-through in three weeks, and a final crushing of all Russian resistance in six weeks, or early in August. The three-week limit wi expire next Sunday. If the Germans do break through to any great depth in the present drive, they still may achieve their ends in the time limit suggested, although the fight which the Russians have put up, exceeding even the most sanguine expectations of foreign military observers, makes it at least open to doubt. According to one well-informed source in Washington, there seems a strong possibility that the Russians may be able to hold out for three months or longer. That would extend the war to late September or into October. With the approach of winter over the wide Russian steppes, the Germans would be faced with the prospect of a long and difficult winter campaign. It was the Russian winter that beat Napoleon. The German General Staff, however, naturally would have taken that factor into consideration. The German effort may be expected to be stepped up strongly, either in continuing action or in a great second offensive after a pause for preparation.

trays an emotion, win or lose. The little Indianapolis Negro boy ‘had half the tournament rooting for him. There is something about a marble tournament which has nothing to do with promotion or commercialism although those things are what make it possible. There is a keen scnse of sportsmanship among the boys and a strong bond of equality.

It isn’t only for the youngsters,

though. The escorts are finding a lot in common forgetting about things that seemed to bother them back home. The war, for instance. There is a tacit understanding that nobody mentions it. What has happened in the nation and in the world in the last week few know and fewer care. One escort who was overheard speculating on his draft status was picked up bodily by five others, céremoniously carried 200 yards to the ocean and dumped in. That ended things like that. Everything else that’s happening is ignored this week.

Yesterday, as a tournament group

lolled on the sand, a plane from the Cape May Coast Guard Station droned overhead. A bright silver pencil in the blue. The bathers watched ‘t until it dipped behind the southern rim of the sea. NO one said a word. For the escorts, nothing else quite measures up in a news sense to a contest where half a hundred boys from all over America have their hearts and souls tied up in a game of marbles.

such occurred or that there had been any shooting. Decision to invite the two naval officials to appear before the committee did not constitute a committee action indorsing or approving the Wheeler resolution which was drafted in adversely critical terms, Senator Walsh explained. He indicated that the two would be asked a direct question, however; regarding the incident- repored by columnists regarding which Senator Wheeler sought information. This almost nerveless capital, meantime, was stirred by what seemed to be a press conference implication by Col. Knox that the Navy may have to shoot to carry out orders issued by President Roosevelt when Iceland was occupied. Take Necessary Steps Prime Minister Winston Churchill contributed to the general feeling of anxiety with his statement that British and United States haval forces now might be expected to cooperate in “the mest dangerous waters” of the Atlantic. Discussing the occupation of Iceland, Col. Knox seemed to imply that the Navy may have to shoot to carry out President Roosevelt's new

kunckles down . . . and then he was out in the [orders that “all necessary steps be

taken to insure the safety of communications between Iceland and the United States, as well as on the

Bronx were aided by 20 volun-|seas between the United States and

all other strategic outposts.” At their minimum, those orders would cover the area lying west of a 7000-mile line drawn from Iceland to British Guiana. Their actual limits depend entirely upon what

Urges Bases in Ireland

Speaking almost simultaneously with Col. Knox after a luncheon conference with Mr. Roosevelt, Wendell L. Willkie suggested establishment of United States bases in northern Ireland and Scotland if necessary to make our aid to England effective. Mr. Willkie returned to New York last night and shortly will leaye for the West Coast. It is understood that Mr. Roosevelt discussed the international situation with him at length, ospecially the occupation of Iceland and its implications. Mr. Willkie now is fortified with facts on which he probably will draw to support Administration foreign policies in Pacific Coast speeches. Col. Knox" hour-long press conference began at 3 p. m. yesterday and reporters sought repeatedly to learn how far the Navy had been authorized to go to insure the safety of strategic communications which Mr. Roosevelt informed Congress July 8 had become the sea force's responsibility.

Will the Navy Shoot?

In response to repeated inquiries whether the Navy would “shoot,” Col. Knox replied that Mr. Roosevelt’'s message to Congress announcing the occupation of Iceland left “no room for any doubt what may be done.” But at no time during the conference did the secretary use the words “shoot” or *“shooting.” He recalled the President’s statement that it is “imperative” to guard these approaches and defend them so that they “shall remain free from all hostile activity.” He stressed also that the President has “issued orders to the Navy to insure safety of approaches from Iceland to America” and elsewhere.

10 NURSES LANDED IN ICELAND, 8 MISSING

LONDON, July 10 (U. P.)—Dr. John Gordon, director of the American Red Cross-Harvard Field Hos-

pital, announced today that 10 American nurses have been landed safely in Iceland from a ship which was torpedoed two weeks ago. .He said eight other nurses still are unaccounted for. The nurses, part of a second contingent en route to Britain from the United States, landed safely iniIceland after the ship on which they were sailing was sunk by a German submarine, Mr.. Gordon said. He did not have the names of the nurses landed in Iceland. Mr. Gordon explained that two groups of American nurses, totaling 27 in all, had been en route to Britain. Both ships on which the nurses were traveling were torpedoed. Nine nurses landed in Britain July 4. Ten more now have landed in Iceland. Eight, therefore, still are missing.
