Hitler Wont
Beat England
This Year
By GEN HUGH S JOHNSON
BpsdaitoTheHemphil County News
and Associated Newspapers
Washington D C
WASHINGTON MrHltler hasnt
fUauldated England but he has pret-
ty Well disposed of the predictions
of military experts as to what
turn the war will take and how soon
this or that campaign will start or
finish
It Is not Hitler alone who has
made this warcasting business dan-
gerous It Is also the almost com-
plete lack of dependable facts and
the puzzling conflict of rival war
bulletins from tendon and Berlin
Making a prediction carries even
more hazardstthan sport writers
dilemmas on the outcome of an
evenly matched football game or a
prizefight There are no hotter spots
This column has had fair luck in
this dangerous military field of crys-
tal gazing For a special reason It
is going to shoot the works a on an-
other guess with all fingers crossed
and the desk piled high with rabbits
feet
Mr Hitler Is not going to dispose
of England this year He probably
Is not even going to try a lightning
war invasion by land or if he does
it will not succeed
As Napoleon did when he stood
on the channel just before Auster
lltz he may suddenly shift the war
to the south and smash Gibraltar
and the Suez or something else un-
pleasant to the British empire but
I have a strong hunch that the rec-
ord of 874 years since William the
Conqueror is not going to be broken
sow by whatever name Hitler will
take in history
It is more than a hunch To risk
an army across the great wet ditch
of the channel the Nazis must have
clear command both of the air and
those narrow seas and beach heads
for a considerable distance inshore
The channel ltselfmight be cleared
by fixed shore batteries that would
keep naval vessels at a distance
y but British counterbatteries could
make In force difficult if
n landings
not impossible unless the back coun-
try is completely dominated from
the air
It Isnt I dont know why the
Germans with their supposed over-
whelming air superiority didnt use
it to reduce British airpower to Im-
potency since any quick decision
depended mostly on that They
didnt Doubtless the reasons were
good Most of their reasons have
been good Im not guessing about
that Im only guessing that in view
of the rapidly advancing season of
fogs andrough weather and all the
other considerations I have men

Europes war is costing the bel-
ligerents 100 million dollars a day in
cash alone This docs not Include
the property damage or the money
spent preparing for war prior to 193
Money can always be made avail-
able for fighting purposes as we
found out in 1914 when it was nec-
essary to protect our bankers loans
and the big industrial investments
abroad These things are important
such things as relief for the common
people are to be given as grudgingly
and sparingly as possible
We favor conscription of wealth
as well as men for the next war If it
is Americas duty to fight then it
is every Americans duty to give ac-
cording to his m ns We know the
rich mans bank account would help
to win a war Is it more sacred than
the lives of American boys
Politicians will promise anything
under the sun knowing full well that
they will meet with enough opposi-
tion to make theirpromlses Impossible
to fulfill When will the ordinary cit-
izen learn to demand resultst
After all the worrying about Hit-
ler crossing the Atlantic his difficul-
ty with the Channel makes ut think
the American people might do well
to remember the old yell of the
Kingdom of Siam Owah tagoo

LET EVERYBODY SEE IT UTITfiN THE NEWS
Ewe Has Two Tasks
She Must Perform
Lambs may not gambol In the
springtime If their owners do some
gambling in the winter by falling
to give the ewe flock enough atten-
tion to Insure the production of a
healthy lamb crop according to ex-
periments In animal husbandry at
Ohio State university
The ewe has two tasks to perform
in producing a good lamb and a
fair clip of wool and she cannot
succeed unless the raw materials
needed are supplied by the flock
owner Ewes will go through the
winter In good shape with only home-
grown roughages until six or eight
weeks before lambing
However there are vast differ-
ences In roughages Good legume
hay provides the protein needed by
the ewes but timothy hay and corn-
stalks do not Farmers also should
remember this winter that corn-
stalks and leaves have had their
usual feeding value reduced by un-
usual fall weather
Protein supplement In the form of
linseed meal cottonseed oil meal
soybean oil meal or whole soybeans
should be fed to ewes which do not
get legume hay
Shepherds are cautioned to re-
member that a mature ewe needs
about a gallon of water dally al-
though some people think sheep re-
quire little or no water Farmers
who buy sheep tonics and compel
their flocks to drink from filthy wa-
tering places are spending money
uselessly
Calcium can be furnished the
ewes in the form of finely ground
limestone Loose salt placed la
troughs permits the ewes to get this
necessity without breaking teeth in
gnawing a supply from salt blocks
The ewe flocks have difficulty
enough performing their two tasks
of lamb and wool production with-
out supporting a horde of Internal
parasites The parasites can be re-
moved by treatments described in
the bulletin previously mentioned

day
