NAZIS SAY FATE. RESTS IN EAST
Public Gets - Reports. of|
Hardships -Suffered. in Caucasus Drive.
: By PAUL GHALI Copyright, 1942, by Th : oP he Chicago $Ihdianapaiis Tiujes BERN, Aug. 18, — The German public is now convinced that the war will “be won or lost in east Europe and that the coming month should see the decision as to Rus- - sia’s fate. This categorical assertion’ is contained in a Berlin dispatch to the ‘Basler National Zeitung which i states that the west, despite the air raids and the danger of "invasion, remains for the ‘broad masses of “secondary importance.” The reason for this one-sided jo terest, according to the paper, is that almost every German family which has now oné or more members on the eastern front gets personal and vivid reports of the hardship experienced in the Caucasus campaign.
Fear Russ Soldiers
These reports, the paper hints, have resulted in a strange mingling of confidence in Nazi arms and admiration ‘and fear of the Russian soldier... The show the latter is now pujting up, at Rzhev and Voronezh is “beyond the capacity of any other soldier in the enemy camp.” According to accounts in the Swiss press, the stiffening Russian resistance has introduced a less optimistic undercurrent in the latest German forecasts for rapid victory. Two days ago, the Berlin correspondent of the Swedish Svenska Dagbladet quoted Berlin diplomatic circles as declaring that the capture of Stalingrad would not. necessarily mean a Russian collapse. This opinion apparently was based on German “information that a large amount of material and petrol had been stored by the Russian command in northern Russia.

not- only are good soldiers technically, ‘but that they LOOK like good soldiers. Even distinguished visitors don’t ride when they come to lunch at his headquarters. Husky, English brigadier-generals who command British ground force troops . in neighboring areas always are silently surprised when visiting this American general because he invariably has them walk a mile or so up the road to his officers’ mess.

AEF Ground Force Chief
Believes in Long Marches
By PAUL MANNING Times Special Writer LONDON, Aug.” 18.—A tough, 25-mile march with full pack’ each week—that's routine for the American soldiers under command of tall, lean, hawk-nosed Maj. Gen. Mark W. Clark. And it's a tip-off to the military character of this 46-year-old “Commander of the Ground Forces, European Theater of Operations.” Youngest major general ifi the 1942 A. E. F., he sees to it that his men

Meets British Officers
Gen. Lloyd, commander of, Britain’s southern command, and Sir Packingham Wallace arrive - for lunch. They speak of accommodating new units scheduled to arrive soon. Then at 1 begins the milelong walk through woods to the officers’ mess. It's a two-story house where Gen. Clark and his staff of 12 live and zat. " The rooms have the monklike chasteness of ny officers’ ‘barracks. Steel frame beds, bedding folded army style, one table and chair, a small rag rug." Gen. Clark’s room is the same, except for an automatic rifle, 50 rounds of ammunition, a gas mask and a small box of candy bars which are placed carefully on the mantel for a quick emergency exit. There's a desk, too, with pictures of family and the Washington home. Each night after 9 he writes to Renie Clark, his wife; Ann Clark, his 15-year-old -daughter, and Bill, the 18-year-old son, now a plebe at West Point. A nonsmoker, he munches candy ‘bars’ as he writes.
Tnspects Gun Crew
"Lunch this day was meat, with vegetables, ' potatoes, string’ beans, black tea and pastry. Back at his desk in the castle by 2 p. m. Gen. Clark dictated a short report, then left to inspect a 105 mm. gun crew which went briefly into action. Afterward, he watched maneuvers of his amphibious engineers. Dinner at 6. with cocktails a halt hour before. A meal of steak, vegetables, coffee and apple pie. Most of the staff returned to the castle for an additional two or three hours’ work. This schedule continues ‘seven days a week, with sometimes an occasional flying visit to other units in Britain. -

A rigidly enforced curfew closes cafes and bars at midnight. sharp, with further curtailment contemplated. Gambling joints have been closed, and definitely won't reopen. There is ‘every indication that the horses won’t be running at Hialeah and Tropical Park this winter, as a result of strong feeling against wastage in time of war as well as the army’s natural desire to remove temptation from easy reach of its men, Crack Down on Vice
A recent federal survey showed Miami’s venereal rate rising amazingly, and as a result, a crushing crackdown on vice has been ordered. Organized prostitution i$ practically non-existent in Miami. Houses have been closed, and soliciting now. is punished by a firfe of $100, 42 days in jail -and five days to get out of town when the sentence is finished. Because of army and navy pressure, Miami's inefficient sanitary system is being needled into repair. Bitter comment on unsanitary restaurant and cafe kitchens has instigated long-needed reform. There is no doubt about who is running Miami these days—and you can be sure it isn’t the city fathers. Dimout Is Enforced
A heavy dimout is enforced on the beach and in the city, with the beach-side lighting restrictions almost approximating full ‘blackout. Cars crawl around with parking lights only, and all hotels fronting on the ocean have their windows and doors muffled. : Army and navy presently are denying entrance to docks, golf courses and parks which accommodate training squads. Restrictions are mushrooming every day, point-; ing inevitably to a time when most of the city’s pleasure space will be marked “Keep Out.” _ Another drawback to a vacation in Miami- this winter is travel facilities. Gas rationing has obviated the possibility of auto travel. The airlines now operate on a strict priority system under air force supervision. - Train travel isn’t. rationed yet, but the coaches are crammed, and rationing. is likely by fall. The bayonet, friends, has replaced the bathing suit at America’s Riviera.
