To this he added that American flying fortresses will soon’ join in the British aerial offensive over Europe.
“Regain Lost Territory”
The president outlined several spheres of offensive action in addition to Europe, Notably ‘he ventured the belief that the southward advance of. the Japanese has been checked, and added that Australia, New Zealand and much other territory will be bases. for offensive action—“and we are determined that the territory which has been lost will be regained.” The statement constituted official confirmation of a projected northward offensive by Gen. MacArthur from Australia, combined with naval and air action from other points in the western Pacific. As to the navy, the president revealed that our warships are in action in the north and south Atlantic, the north and south Pacific,

It was the’ first. official disclosure that American fighting ships are in the Mediterranean, and the president added significantly that “the situation there is receiving very careful attention.” Despite the bad news from Burma, the ‘president felt able to promise- China that even if the Japanese prevail there, ways will be] found to deliver. : airplanes and munitions. : The president teuched only briefly on the political side of the war, but he did: suggest. that there are signs of cracking morale among the German and ‘Italian peoples.-
Work Will Win War
Shortly after his speech, a United Press dispatch from London told of persistent reports that an internal crisis is pending in Italy. 3 The economic aspects of the president’'s address are a matter only for experts to discuss. His emphasis on “hard work, sorrow and blood,” however, gives food for thought. Hard work is keeping] Germany in the war just as much as her military might. The work is not being done by Germans alone, although it was announced today that even children and married women are to be put at forced labor in ‘fields and war factories.
“Slaves” Aiding Axis
According to a report of the office of facts and figures in Washington. about 4,000,000 workers from subjugated or satellite nations have been put to work for the Germans. They include 1,110,000 poles, 400,000 Italians, 390,000 French, 250,000 Bel - gians and 200,000 Dutch. In addition, it was announced. today that war prisoners in Germany are “available.” About 1,500,000 Frenchmen alone are German war prisoners.

Louis Newton, 46, of 3317 N. Capitol ave., a fireman at Station 14, Kenwood ave. and 30th st., was burned today while fighting a fire at the dumps at 23d and Montcalm’ sts. He was taken taken to City hospital, where his condition was reported “fair.” He was burned on the left arm and leg.
