Nazi strategy in the next few months may strengthen plans to hold out in the European fortress, attempt to porary peace settlement before a further deterioration of the military situation makes this impossible. Some German military leaders are already worrying about the ability of the Third Reich to hold out long enough to reach a stalemate settlement and are, therefore, seeking formu-' Buster las for a settlement that would end the war with the strue-' 500 ture of the German Army left intact. The present peace offensive is to be distinguished from earlier appeasement campaigns. Before, appeasement efforts were backed up by an army that had some claim to invincibility. Now most Nazi strategists have given up the belief that they can win the war on the military front but they still stick to the idea that they can gain a stalemate as a basis for peace negotiations. Diplomatic maneuvers are to make up for growing military weakness, and skillful use will be made of any ground for disagreements among the United Nations. At' the same time, German military experts are also reading the signs on the wall. They realize that German military strength is no longer what it was last year, and will no longer oe at the end of this war what it is at present. Contrast this situation with the one that existed less than a year ago. The original plan lor the appeasement campaign that was to start this spring was based on the assumption that the Third Reich could end the 1942 cam CMKKKW4 Dtyoaaoaaaoa ookooooooooooooooooo&ckjoojoooooo BURNS KEEP BOWLSLEAD i Watts & Xitkmon and Sar-Mor Ben Jone Bob Harry Td for Second Plate Burns are still the hottest team in the Men's Fire Pin Bowling Laajne.

The bankruptcy of Germany as a strong and self sustaining economic, industrial arid military power may he approaching. The magic of German diplomacy, which before the war and in its early stages paved the way for easy victory, is evaporating, since the diplomacy of force must be able to threaten. Nazi political leaders, once consistently ahead of the game, must now run to keep up with it. If a year in which our main battle was that of production, in which the role of the United Nations was largely defensive, caused such a deterioration of German political and military prospects, then we may be justified in expecting far more sensational developments in 1943. The high rate of United Nations' shipping losses must be considered; also the difficulties of invading a strongly defended coast; the problems of supply; and the dangers of easy over-optimism. Our shipping situation has become more serious and the Nazis' submarine campaign more successful than anticipated. To let down in our efforts would greatly increase the loss of life that must be paid before the war is won. Some startling dramatic develonment in fiermanv nn?l in Europe before the collapse of German militarism becomes an open fact may be expected. The Nazi hierarchy may try to make diplomatic moves that will strengthen its strategic position abroad and enable it to shorten its defense lines. Such dramatic moves are necessary if internal morale is to be revitalized. It is possible that they will involve or be initiated by changes in German leadership. We may soon be swept by wild rumors, many of which will be mere feelers of desperate politicians and leaders. Hitler no longer dares to make a final all-out assault similar to the Kaiser's attempt to send out his fleet against the British Navy in 1918. He can prolong his existence only by shifting to a defensive strategy, limiting his aims to partial offensives and at the same time trying the old game of diplomacy and political maneuvers. No one is safe in believing that the rapid and erratic development of internal difficulties economic and moral from the chronic to the acute to the critical stage can continue for long. Some German crisis, as yet unknown, probably this year and almost certainly next year, will probably be the last crisis before the final collapse. f KrtHKHKKtoHKKJ O0&CtHKHOOtKK 00XH3 tWKH For Quick, Safe and Comfortable TAXI SERVICE team took the spotlight for high three, 745, and high single. 305.

In addition to guiding the major league far more than two decades, Calder beeam-influential throughout the mino: Ieagues affiliated wKh the N'-HJU whose problems were frequently brought to him for solution. Many of the rules he sponsored or introduced in his own league were adopted by minor and amateur Calder was born in Bristol England, of Scottish parents, on November 17. 1877, and was educated at English schools. He emigrated to Canada as a young man and became a teacher in a Montreal private school. Later be turned to newspaper work and was sports the Montreal Herald, and afterwards financial editor of The Her- ! aid. To his newspaper career Cal der brought a board knowledge of i " all kinds of sport. He played cricket, soccer and rugby as a young man and in later Hfe became a fair golfer and band-ball player. But he never played hockey. C alders connection with the professional game began in the chaotic era of the National Hockey Association, of which he was the secretary. The circuit included two Montreal teams Wanderers and Canadiens one team from Ottawa and one from Quebec. In 1917. following a meeting in Montreal, a new group was formed, the National Hockey League, with Calder as its president. Calder ran into trouble immediately. The Quebec Hockey Club withdrew from the league, selling its franchise to Toronto Arenas for a mere $700. Cal- der ratified the deal, as he was to I ratify later deals In which the transfer of one player involved figures as high as the $30,000 Ottawa Senators were paid by Toronto Maple Leafs for Frank (King) Clancy In 1930. The young league suffered another blow in January, 1918, when the Montreal Arena, home of the Wanderers and the Canadiens, burned down. It was the only artificial-Ice rink In the city, and th Wanderers withdrew from competition. Toronto also left the league, leaving Canadiens and Ottawa to finish the season alone. Calder started organizing all over again and the next season lined up Quebec. Toronto St. Patrick's later to become Toronto Maple Leafs Ottawa and the faithful Canadiens Quebec once more left the league after a short stay but was replaced by Hamilton, Ontario. This com-Vnalion held together for four years. In 1924 sports promoters in the United States began to take an interest in the money-making possibilities of professional hockey, and Hockey Standings The league standings to date W. D. L. F.

Rickard operated his team under the name of the New York Americans, and brought big-time hockey into Madison Square Garden. Later Americans experienced financial difficulties and the league took over the club, Calder acting as its president for severa! years. In 1926 the league was enUrel? reorganized under Calder 'a guidance to admit New York Rangers. Detroit. Chicago and Pittsburg. Ottawa, Montreal Maroons and Pittsburg later dropped out of the league but the others carried on under Calder's preidency. St. Louis and Philadelphia each operated the Pittsbuigh franchise lor a season. Calder's association with the National Hockey League is perpetuated through a cup the Calder Trophy which he donated to the league. It is awarded annually to the best rookie player, chosen by a poH conducted by The Canadian Press among sports writers around the circuit.
