GERMANS DROP
Of Victory, Salvation Army Head Says.
LONDON, Dec. 9 (U. P.).—The London Daily Telegraph in a dispatch from Cairo today, quoted Col. Mary Booth, daughter of the founder of the Salvation army, as saying that educated Germans virtually had abandoned hope for a Nazi victory. Col. “Booth headed a Salvation army unit in Belgium and was captured by the Germans in May, 1940.
She was interned and tried for espionage. A month ago she was

said that German morale was being maintained only by hate and propaganda.
Fear Haunts People
“The Germans are a fear-haunt-ed people, whereof only those who are brutally sadistic achieve prominence and those who are stupid still pave faith,” the Daily Telegraph quoted her as saying. She said a carefully-organized campaign of terrifying the German people was typified by recent reI ports in the Nazi press that the |allies, if victorious, would take all German children over 3 years old away from their parents in order to rear them as non-Germans. A collapse of German morale is likely before the nation becomes ex{hausted physically or materially, | Col. Booth told the interviewer. A | food shortage is not an immediate problem despite Jack of meat, fish, eggs, coffee and tea, she said, be{cause there are plenty of potatoes for the civilian population. Col. Booth said that new lands were under constant cultivation by prisoners of war, chiefly Polish and French.

| Fuel Oil Coupons
He explained the fuel oil rationing
“While consumers would not lose in a monetary way, there is the danger that they might receive a smaller quantity of oil than they are entitled to by the coupon. “The confusion applies only to heating coupons. The coupons for lighting, cooking and industrial use are of fixed value and the values are designated on each coupon. “For fuel oil rationing purposes there are two thermal zones in Indiana. In zone B are Marion, Hendricks, Putnam, Parke, Vermillion, Hancock, Rush, Fayette and Union counties and all counties north of these counties. The remaining counties in the state—those south of the counties previously mentioned—are in zone C. “The fuel oil heating coupon sheets in zone B are green in color; in zone C—blue. But the colors have nothing to do with the value of the coupons. All of the coupons, however, are for five heating periods of equal heating load in a normal winter. “In zone B the first period ended Dec. 2. The second period ends Jan, 5; third period, Feb. 6; fourth period, March 12, and fifth period, end of the heating year, Sept. 30. Zone C dates, beginning with the second period, are Jan. 4; Feb. 2; March 6 and Sept. 30. “There are two kinds of coupon sheets. One is a one-unit sheet; the other a ten-unit sheet. During the first heating period each coupon on the one-unit wds good for 10 gallons of oil and on the 10-unit sheet each coupon was good for 100 gallons. In subsequent heating periods these values may be changed to fit actual weather conditions. “Each coupon sheet also has a number of fixed value coupons. On the one-unit sheet most of these coupons are valued at one gallon and some at five gallons each. On the 10-unit sheet most of the coupons are’ valued at 10 gallons each and some at 50 gallons each.
the purpose of making change for odd quantiti€s of oil purchased. “In other words, each one-uynit sheet originally contained 100 coupons which would have a value of 1000 gallons provided values in the subsequent heating periods are not changed from the values in the first heating period. In addition, each one-unit sheet has 25 one-gallon and five five-gallon change-making coupons of fixed value. The coupons for the various heating periods are plainly designated on the sheets.
“The value of the coupons on the| 10-unit sheets runs in exactly the|:
same order except the value is 10 times as much as the coupon value on the one-unit sheqt.” : Mr. Strickland said the 10-unit sheet is issued only to persons who burn large quantities of oil. He said. that either a 10-unit or a one-unit user may have one whole sheet or a part of a sheet or two or more whole sheets and a part of a sheet. The reason for this is that the coupon sheets are tailored in each case to cover the quantity,
alues and present status of gasoline
Gasoline Coupons
The gasoline rationing coupons were outlined as follows: The basic “A” book contains four! pages with eight coupons on each page, or a total of 32 coupons.’
Each coupon has a value of four! gallons, making a total of 128 gal- | lons in all. “The first page of the book con-| tains coupons marked No. 3. These are good until Jan. 21. Expiration dates of the coupons on the other three pages are as follows: No. 4, March 21; No. 5, May 21 and No. 6, July 21. “All eight coupons on a single page can be used at once or can be spread out during the period for which they are designated. He also emphasized that the coupons after having been indorsed on the back with car license number and, state of registration, must be re- | moved from the book and given to the station operator.

CITY FIREMAN FELLED BY GAS
8 Hours After Fire; Recovering.
William Jackson, 26, a fireman at engine house 14, was taken to City hospital this morning, overcome by gas he inhaled in fighting a fire some eight hours earlier, His condition was reported as “not serious.” The fire, about midnight, at the home of Lewis Vogler, 618 E. 30th st., originated in the wash room in the basement and while firemen were fighting it, the heat melted a gas meter connection. Mr. Jackson inhaled some of the gas. He made his way outdoors and apparently was all right, but about 8 a. m. today he fainted and was sent to the hospital. Firemen estimated the fire damage at $75 and said the cause was unknown.

TOPEKA, Kas, Dec. 9 (UP). —
Formation of a new. political unit— an Agrarian party—may be neces-
sary to “prevent chaos” after the
war and “lead us in a progressive
liquidation of the new deal,” former
Secretary of War Harry Woodring said here last night in a speech before the Kansas State Grange. “The Democratic party is torn between conservative and liberal ideas, and the Republican party may be wrecked upon the rocks of isolationism and internationalism,” Woodring said. “I think it is possible that a new party directly representative of the basis industry of the country, agriculture, and its ramifications, may
be necessary to prevent chaos and = lead us into & progressive liquida- :
tion of the new deal.”
Woodring said that we are now
operating under a “planned economy,” and warned that we would not be able to get rid of this economy all at once when the war is over.
