When
Spring
Comes
.
.
.
During
the
winter
the
Russian
armies
have
had
a
distinct
advantage
over
the
Germans
and
evidently
Hitler
is
counting
on
reversing
the
advantage
as
soon
as
spring
-comes.
-That
will
be
soon.
Reserves
of
tanks
are
said
to
be
piling
up
for
use
in
the
contemplated
spring
offensive.
So
also
the
Russians
are
making
preparations
for
the
big
spring
move.
Russian
factories
are
making
more
of
the
new
and
more
effective
tanks
so
there
should
be
nothing
to
fear
from
the
Nazis
in
that
direction.
The
first
important-moves
should
be
in
the
Crimea
where
summer
comes
quite
early;

Bulletins
from
Britain
tells
an
interesting
story
of
the
navy.
For
seven
days
a
ship's
boat,
filled
with
sur-V50ret-
,
a
torPedoed
ship,
had
been
tossing
on
the
Atlantic
when,
in
the
dusk,
the
haggard
sailors
sighted
a
convoy
passing
three
miles
away.
Frozen,
hungry
men
looked
at
the
long
lines
of
ships
with
sunken
eyes
in
which
hope
had
been
reborn.
One
of
them
raised
a
husky
cheer.
In
an
hour
they
would
be
snug
and
safe
An
able
seaman
fumbled
with
a
flare,
his
cold
and
trembling
fingers
hardly
able
to
hold
it.
Then
he
paused
rC
i
.
mey
an
Know
wnat
ne
was
thinking
These
flares
were
visible
for
miles
and
if
an
enemy
submarine
was
lurking
in
the
vicinity
the
position
of
the
convoy
would
be
betrayed
instantly.
"Bit
risky,
ain't
it?"
said
the
seaman,
and
the
others
nodded
assent.
He
slowly
put
the
flare
down
and
got
out
his
pocket
flash
lamp.
Several
of
the
men
followed
suit
and
for
a
while
there
was
silence
in
the
boat
while
desperate
signals
were
flashed
across
the
waste
of
waters.
''ffgl
There
was
no
acknowledgement,
and
slowly
the
dimly-seen
shapes
passed
out
of
sight,
leaving
behind
them
the
unseen
boat
tossing
forlornly
in
the
vast
gray
sea.
For
a
few
minutes
after
the
last
hull
had
disappeared
no
one
said
a
word,
and,the
mate
spoke
through
to
cracked
lips:
"Best
make
snug
for
the
night,
men."
Nothing
more
was
said.
All
of
them
realized
that
they
had
sacrificed
what
was
probably
their
last
hope
of
safety,
but
they
were
not
grousing.
Darkness
fell
and
another
slow
hour
passed.
Then
the
look-out,
straining
his
eyes
through
the
gloom,
gave
a
snout-
The
men
huddled
in
the
bottom
of
the
boat
lifted
their
heads
weakly
to
see
a
light
shining
through
the
blackness.
A
British
warship
had
seen
their
signals.
Tired
of
Monotony
.
.
.
Men
in
the
army
often
eat
at
the
restaurants.
Thev
say
they
are
well
fed,
the
meals
at
the
mess
being
excellent
but
the
same
kind
of
food
day
after
day
served
in
exactly
the
same
way
gets
to
be
monotonous.
So
thev
pay
for
a
poorer
meal
just
to
escape
the
monotony.
That
is
why
the
men
appreciate
an
invitation
to
a
meal
in
a
private
home.
We
understand
that
there
are
rules
and
regulations
to
follow
but
jf
there
was
some
way
of
varying
the
monotony
the
men
would
be
much
better
satisfied
with
their
food.
There
will
be
always
a
great
many
who
want
to
spend
their
own
money
for
odd
meals
but
the
complaint
of
monotony
seen)s,to,
be
general.
