A basic factor determining Germany's staying power may be the fact that it is impossible for her to win the war. This is known inside as well as outside Germany. Another factor may be that Germany's military leaders take a "professional" attitude toward war. When they can no longer win a war, they try to settle it as-quickly as -possible, -at the best terms they can obtain. The Army may ven now be using its defensive strength to bargain for terms, sacrificing speed for position. Another less important fact may be that Germany's attempts to prolong her defence, to make victory for us a bloody and costJv one and to pvpaf dissension between Great Britain and the United Spates on the one hand and Russia on the other are limited. They are limited by her own military and civilian deterioration. -Some of the major aspects of German internal deterioration and its causes, emphasizing the most important similarities and differences between 1943 and 1918 have been Teceived as follows: 1. The food situation inside Germany still is better than it was in 1918, but is deteriorating so rapidly that the disastrous level of 1918 will probably be reached by thp nd of the winter. Conditions of partial famine will exist in Germany itself during the early nar't of next year. At that time the hone for a stalemate or a compromise neace -will have disappeared, in part as a result of the disappointing defence no-ainst air raids. 2. The situation of the German middle classes is much worse than it ever was during the last war or afterwards. 3. Internal economic reserves are exhausted to a much greater extent than during the last war. This 1S onlvpartlv compensated for by the great increases of svnfcbetie production. 4. "Manpower is more completely -utilized and straineUthanjt in..llSTJieemploi7nejit of eicrH million foreiifri" workers contributes to the decline in war morale. M.-The air offensive is crippline Germany's vital industries and transportation svstem. Durino- thp ealv part, of nexr snrinp. Oprmanvs air situation, will Viqvp. become desnerate. The German war leaders willjftnd.it impossible to protect any part of Germany ap-aipet -d;aitnns air attacks. 6,. As in 191R; thp submarine ha been defeated. Despite cases of -individual Woism. submarine crews are reported to have mutinied on more than nnp occasion, a clear simi that many of Germany's .fiehtw men are utterly dissatisfied with the Nazi regime and desperately tired of war. :7. On the Russian front. Germany is ennaeed in as extensive and -costly n-strugcrle-as that on the western front in 1918. She is more powerfully surrounded, and strategic retreats merely bring Allied bomber bases closer. High ranking German -officers are seeking a platform that will enable them to end the war before the Reich "has comnletelv collapsed. The hunger for peace, however, will remain a passive force for Germany's defeat until it is activated by specific Allied proposals regarding intentions for dealing with a conquered Germany. It is in this way that nolitical factors must now beerin to plav their role. Without (leasive victories or the conauest of new resource vh ch cannot be exnected thp " " " "'uouil Ul Lilt.' G erman economy and of the inner strength of the Na?i regime will nrobablv reach its most critical point at the end of the winter, when intensive air raifls are being staged and when the German Army must try to beat back new offensives and counter-offensives "which exceed the strength of the German Army.

MARKET His Mother Was Life Inspiration Of Famous Dickens Artist; Career of Frank Amitage Frank Guy Armitage, Dickensian interpreter, who has been an interesting yisitor here of late, was born in Bradford, Yorkshire. His mother was a distinguished concert artist, beloved by poor people. She was a Lady Bountiful on a small scale in ratio to the family income. After Sunday " dinner lier self-imposed task was to make up , baskets of food for the less for- " tunate. These she took around receive the accolade of Queen never forgetting her bread pills : Elizabeth, to be given to dear old ladies ! Of course the length of these suffering from "Imaginary' aches dreams would vary for there and pains." But they -were ol- 'as the world of reality 1o cope ways benefitted by the pills. When she died these same poor people collected money for her memorial This was supplemented by funds from other sources so that, at the unveiling, it read, "Erected by the musical and ether friends of the late Madame Armitage in loving memory of that gifted, generous and noble woman." She died when Frank was eight but he says: "Her memory is as clear today as it ever was and whatever small i success I have had on concert 'and lecture platforms I attribute to her influence both then land now." Armltage's father father died a month before his i mother who died near More-, cambe in Lancashire, leaving him an orphan at eight. and ran away four times.

And then with childish imagination he would pay fancied, money through an equally fancied window to a Kcket seller whn'wasn't there Iheh proceeding down the aisle, .bowing to right and left to unreal people, he would sit in a make-believe stall, actually hard floor boards, while gazing through two clenched fists serving lor opera glasses at people he saw in the boxes and balcony, also highly fictitious. The cold attic became a theatre resplendent with red velvet, pulsating gaslights and a curious smell which seemed to be a part and ;parcel of any theatre ln the late 00's. Then, resuming the dream, he would applaud politely as j though Impatient for the play I to commence and finally slide j behind the soap boxes and .pack-I ing cases serving as a platform, only to emerge therefrom through a little tunnel which he had been careful to leave at the base of the somewhat shaky structure. Naturally he had seen the or chestra come and go from Just such a tunnel. And now, with a & prnsh nf thp vmhnlt nlsn V imaginative the clarion call of the trumpet as he stuck the thumb ot his clenched fist ln one hand and played on three trumpet keys with the other, the overture was on its way. The attic was filled with light and everything proceeded to that breathless moment when the curtains were to part and the play or concert was to be-t?in. About the only real things ln the theatre were his mother's curtains and the soap boxes. Now he would climb on the 6oap boxes and with all the stately grandeur of a bewigged and powdered footman would draw aside the curtains and the show would begin. What was the show? Oh perhaps he might be David Copper-field talking to Peggoty for he early learned all of Dickens by heart as his mother used to read him to Bleep with it or Robin Hood fighting with a quatterstave with Friar Tuck as his opponcntr-or perhaps Sir Francis Drake kneeling on the deck of the "Golden Hind" to Military Crm. He ran an army concert party from which ft! Plunkett of the Dumbells fame recruited a great deal of his talent. He then Joined the Y.M. C.A. War Services.
