According to a Stockholm dispatch, neutral observers there “in close touch with Berlin believe that the Germans will abandon the Caucasus entirely, and that a large part of their forces already have retired behind the lower Don.
Today's War Moves
By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst Continued German reverses in the Caucasus make it seem possible that the Nazis will have to admit defeat in that area and retire to Rostov and the line of the lower Don to avert disaster. | Events are likely to move fast in southern Russia. The extent and continuing success of the Russian assault does not point te a possible stalemate. Hitler conceivably could come back by moving in reinforcements from his last reserves but even that might do no more than slow the Russians and not permit a resumption of the German drive toward the oil fields.
‘the weakness of the German com-
Hitler’s grand plan to take Stalingrad, the Caucasus oil fields and to push on to Astrakhan at the mouth of the Volga on the Caspian sea has failed. The Russian recapture of Elista, which is the closest the Germans got to the Caspian, is significant of
munication lines. The Germans reached Elista last summer and if looked as though they were headed in a lightning drive to Astrakhan. They halted there, however, because it seemed necessary to take Stalingrad before stretching their extend: ed communication lines to the Caspian.
ALEXANDRIA, Jan. 5 (U. P.).— Nazi occupation forces in Greece are constantly reminded of unquenchable opposition by daring Greek civil-
ians, a man who recently reached here after eight weeks in an Athens hotel said today. “For example, one day I was walking along Stadium st. and saw two German soldiers escorting four British prisoners, apparently for the exercise,” he said. “But it had not lasted long before I saw pedestrians and shopkeepers standing in doorways, flipping the ‘thumbs-up’ sign whenever they caught the prisoners’ eyes. “The Brilish prisoners made no bones about returning the salute.

Then the guards would wheel quick-
ly to see what was going on behind their backs. I never saw people who covered up with more nonchalance than those pedestrians and shopkeepers.” He said he had asked a number of Greeks low they felt about the allies bombing Greece and one replied, “If you have a malignant growth and need an operation in order to live, youll gladly undergo pains under the surgeon’s Knife, That's how we feel about allied raids on our country.” The traveler said there is a constant stream of axis soldiers in Athens, with all the main streets and avenues crowded with them. “But there is complete lack of fraternizing between the Germars and Italians,” he said.
By Science Service WILMINGTON, Del, Jan. 5.— After the war you can have window screens of nylon, shoes of cloth coated ‘with nylon wearing better than leather, window sash cords of nylon that won’t fray out, electric wires insulated by nylon, rattan porch furniture, woven from gaily colored nylon, and scores of other such things. Nylon is the synthetic stuff that ladies’ stockings used to be made of —remember? (For chemists, it is the polymer of adipic acid and hexamethylene-diamine.)
been turning out this product of their chemists’ genius and sweat. Most widely known as the material for hosiery, this synthetic, basically obtainable from coal, air and water, rescued America from the silk monopoly of the Japanese. Now nylon has gone to war, conscripted 100 per cent to make parachutes, tow ropes for gliders, bristles for paint brushes, and for dozens of other more secret military purposes. It is for that reason that the army-navy E flies today over the nylon research laboratory’ and pilot plant. Because of the vital military uses for nylon, every pound of it is precious.. In normal peace times no one would suggest using as raw material the discarded finery off the legs of American women. Yet in the war emergency this is being

LOSS IN FT. WAYNE FIRE PUT AT $35,000
FT. WAYNE, Ind. Jan. 5 (U. P.). —Firemen and company officials today estimated at between $35,000 and $40,000 the loss in a fire which last night destroyed two buildings in downtown Ft.- Wayne. The fire started in the Ft. Wayne Wastepaper Co., completely destroying the building and tons of waste paper stored there. A collapsing wall of the four-story paper company crashed through the roof of the two-story Mitchell Farm Implement Co. next door, knocking down one wall of the building and damaging farm machinery stored inside.

WASHINGTON, Jan. § (U. P.)— The United States and allied nations today announced their intention to nullify the ruthless measures which the axis powers have used in seizing property in occupied countries. The allied nations, including the French ‘national committee Fighting French organization, served notice that they would “do their utmost to defeat the methods of dispossession practiced by the governments with which they are
at war against the countries and|
peoples who have been so: wantonly assaulted and despoiled.” - The formal declaration was issued in recognition of the problem which will exist when axis armies have been evicted from occupied countries.
Property Transferred
In many instances, property transfers have been made, mostly under brutal pressure but in some cases with the guise of authenticity. The rightful owners are ‘the ones whom the united nations are now trying to protect. The declaration also served to} warn neutral countries what to expect if axis armies attacked or occupied any of their territory. “This warning applies,” the declaration stated, “whether such transfers or dealings have taken form of open looting or plunder, or of transactions apparently legal in form, even when they purpori to be voluntarily effected.”
