midnight. It's no use coming

Then he sleeps and goes back to the job. Some job! For the wife, too. Another tried the morning for sleeping only to find that that is the time the “ordinary” folk keep the phone ajingling—just to pass the time of day.
Watch That Horn
Still another has an appreciation of how the woman next door is trying to conserve tires by riding to market with another neighbor. But he doesn't appreciate the incessant honking that is necessary before the lady-next-door comes out. There are others who haven't kind words for the neighborhood dogs and the slamming of doors. There are some who complain about noisy children but they rate far down the list as disturbers in comparison with thoughtless adults Those are just a few of their “beefs.” Night workers hope those who see the day see the light.

BLUNT REPORT‘WE CAN LOSE’
| Davis Says U.S. Not Yet
‘Ankle Deep’ in War Against Fanatics. (Continued from Page One)
pleasure driving and military and essential civilian needs “are only fooling themselves, and helping the enemy.” The “initial disasters” at Pearl Harbor and on the Philippine air
{| fields cost the nation “plenty” and
“the wonder is not that we lost so
| much but that we held on to so § | much.”
American victories against “supe-
rior forces” at Midway and in the
*| Coral sea, while brilliant, were “de-
fensive victories.” The review described the global as a “war against men with whom no honorable peace is possible” and said the enemy can be defeated only when it is destroyed.
Fighting Fanatical Men
“To win a total war we must fight it totally, and we are not fighting it that hard,” it said. “We are fighting fanatical men out for world domination, and we can beat them only if we want to beat them as badly as they want to beat us.” The nation, it said, is “deep In what may be the decisive year of the war. But 1942 will be a decisive year only if our enemies do not succeed in inflicting crippling blows on our allies before the year is out. Even if they fail in that, they will still take a lot of licking.” If the enemy should paralyze
China’s endurance, or break Britain's power in the Middle East, it said, “the war will be decided in some later year not now fore-
costly.” The report stated repeatedly that “pretty good” in production in battles or in aid to allied nations is not enough. , While production is “amazing” compared with standards of a few years dgo. “measured against what we need to win, it is not enough,” it said. Supply Problem Grows
“By and large,” it continued, “we have not been producing war material to the maximum of available capacity, and have not been getting that material to the fighting fronts in the time and in the volume that will be needed to win.” Japanese victories have made it harder to supply China and German activity on the route to Murmansk have added hazards to getting supplies through to Russia. Although the United States turned out more airplanes than any other nation in the world during June, it reported that the number did not equal the total
‘| the mation said ‘it “was going to
produce. This would mean that— unless the slack is taken up—the president’s goals of 60,000 planes this year would not be attained. Production of small craft needed for anti-submarine operations during June was less than half that scheduled, it said. In discussing U. S. war casualties, the report said that the nation has suffered at a rate of about one in every 3000 citizens and it warned that Americans would do well to prepare themselves for ‘heavy losses of men” and, like their ancestors, who won our independence be ready to take it to preserve that freedom.
Hit Where It Counts
The report said that when the nation is not strong enough to “hit hard everywhere,” then it must “be able to hit hard where it counts most, even at the price of leaving other areas inactive.” The united nations still hold the central Pacific and have reinforced But fhe Japanese have control of the Philippines, the Dutch Indies and the Malay peninsula which supplied most of the rubber which this country now so badly needs. “In a global war we cannot expect always to win everywhere; we may have to learn to take local and tem orary defeats as part of the Ne of ultimate victory,” it said. “Our ancestors could do that; if we can't we shall be unable to save the independence they won for us.” The OWI warned that American forces should be sent where military commanders believe they will get the maximum results on the basis of “the best prgfessional judgment.” All strategical plans and operations have been carried out since Dec. 7 with the approval of top officers of the American army and navy, the agency said.
INAVY SEEKING 2000
RECRUITS IN AUGUST
A call for navy recruits to assure the 2000-man goal for August was issued today by Comm. R. H. G. Mathews, in charge of recruiting for the Indiana area. The 446 recruits for the first seven days of this month represented 13 more than the number signed in the first seven days of July. Comm. Mathews said August opened with a slump in recruiting as compared to the final week of July. There were 529 recruits in the last seven days of July.

that Prime Minister Winston Churchill is there—gathered under conditions of extreme urgency and discussed with Soviet leaders means of increasing the effectiveness of this aid to Russia. ‘ Nazis Claim Armavir While the Russians told of massive Nazi forces moving upon Maikop from two sides the German high command (its communiques are more informative, of course, when the tide of battle is going its way) reported the capture of Armavir, the crossing of the Laba river and the capture of Kurgannaya which is 30 miles west of Armavit and the same distance east of Maikop. | ) Thus, it was evident that Maikop, which provides 7 to 10 per cent of Russia’s oil and particularly more than 2,000,000 tons of high-test aviation fuel, was steadily being overwhelmed from the east and from the north. Russian dispatches told of desperate attempts to stem the enemy push upon Maikop and Armavir, a city of 80,000 on the west bank of the Kuban and the junction of oil pipe lines branching out to Maikop and eastward to Grozny and Baku on the Caspian. The Germans claim’ to have cut the Armavir-Baku pipeline and railroad at several points. Not only was Maikop gravely threatened, the Russians said, but large Soviet forces including cossack cavalry are trying to battle their way out of what may soon be a German steel trap around Kushchevka and near the Sea of Azov coast deep behind the Nazi spearheads. .
