Prime Minister Churchill’s return from Moscow has revived speculation in London on the possibility of a second front, indication that a full scale invasion of Europe is ‘ planned this fall. As the summer draws to a close, it seems increasingly less probable. had felt capable of an invasion this summer, they would have launched it at a time when Hitler was deeply involved in Russia and had drawn on his strength in western Europe to the limit of safety. If the British 0" were not ready in Jume or July, it
does not seem probable that they could have accumulated enough additional strength in the short time since then to change the situation. It is taken for granted that Churchill and Stalin are in complete agreement on the joint strafegy of Russia and the united nations. If it has been decided that

Enough Russian Reserves?
That would mean Russia has considerable reserves, both 'in the north and very probably east of the Volga. Exeept perhaps to Churchill and his most intimate advisers, absolutely nothing is known of Russia’s reserve strength. Perhaps even the German general staff only has a sketchy idea. ] In the absence of a second front —it is, of course, not certain that there will not be one—at least two

22 Arrested in Ft. Wayne For Failure to Display Tags; Face U. S. Jury.
Internal revenue collectors and state police will continue “vigorous” drives against Hoosier motorists who have failed to purchase their federal auto use stamp, Will H.
said today. Mr. Smith's repeated warning came as 22 defendants arrested yesterday in the Ft. Wayne area ‘were bound over to the federal grand jury. Twenty-five persons were arrested and one charge was dismissed when the defendaiit showed he did not own the stampless car. One case was continued and one defendant failed to appear for a hearing.
Sale Still Brisk
Mr. Smith said that sales of stamps here continued to be “brisk” and praised the “splendid co-opera-tion of the state police and the district attorney's office” in aiding the drive. Purchasers of stamps were vreminded to keep a record of the serial number on the stamp and the date and place of purchase in case of loss. Three thefts of stamps were reported in the Ft. Wayne area yes‘terday when word went around that afrests were being made. No new reports of thefts have been made in Indianapolis, the internal revenue office said.. Defendants found guilty will be

Rommel, too, has been getting reinforcements but the British navy and air force have prevented: any steady flow. British reinforcements have been pushed through to. Malta, from which land-based planes command the shipping lane to North Africa and have been ak ing heavy tall ‘of transports an supply ships. It is in the air of western Europe that the combined ' British and American air forces are capable of striking really damaging blows at Hitler and ‘his war production. The allies have gained definite air superiority and there is no chance for Hitler to regain it, now that allied | plane production has outstripped him and is increasing its pace. It may be noted that the large convoy which has just been disclosed to have reached Britain was composed in large part of reinforcements and material for the United States army ‘air force.
KENTUCKY STORMS CAUSE CROP LOSS
HODGENSVILLE, Ky. Aug. 25
have postponed the opening of the fall term so that'teen-age'children will be available to salvage the corn and tobacco crops destroyed in

‘Yesterday’s storm, which lasted only 15 minutes, may have caused damage estimated at $500,000, aus thorities said. The wind at its peak reached a ¥elocity of 55 miles an hour. Sunday’s storm also caused considerable damage to the corn and tobacco crops. Numerous barns and farm buildings were reported destroyed.

BRAZIL BUILDS WAR MACHINE
Vargas Summons Cabinet!
To Speed Up Preparations To Fight Axis. RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 25 (U.| P.) —President Getulio Vargas summoned his war cabinet‘ today to
plan more drastic economic meas-
ures against the axis dnd to provide for the training and equipment of thousands of army recruits. Reports circulated that three more axis submarines had been sunk by Brazilian, British and United States planes off the south coast of Brazil, but they were not confirmed by official quarters. The submarine menace had not been - ended, however, by the relentless hunt that has been carried on the past 10 days. The National Pefroleum council announced that the United States tanker, Louisiana, of 8567 tons had been sunk Thursday night, about 600 miles northeast of Rio De Janeiro. The government was greatly encouraged by the fact that five South American republics—Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay and Peru~-had declared ‘Braizil a nonbelligerent. Under this status, Brazilian ships may use their ports as long and as freely as they wish. Argentina, which has not broken diplomatic relations with the axis, implied in a note from President Ramon 8S. Castillo the hope that| Brazil would be victorious.
