25 Divisions Hurl
Russ Back to
North Donets Bank
LONDON, March 9 (CP)—The Cermans, after withdraw- *,
ing Westward across Southern Russia through most of tha
Winter, have launched a great counter-offensive in the Donets
Basin and in a 100-mile march have recaptured eight key cities i
South and Southeast of the big fortress city of Kharkov, the
Russians reported tonight.
The Cerman offensive was launched late in February with'
25 strong divisions, or approximate^ 375,000 men, including .
13 divisions which had been replenished after previous action
and 12 fresh ones rushed from;>
the West to this vital sector of
the long German-Russian battlefront.
The Russians reported their evacuation of eight key Donets citlet
and admitted falling back to the
Northern bank of the Northern Don-
eta River unoer the impact of the
Nazi offensive but said they took a
heavy toll among the enemy with
the German deaths alone mounting
to 20,000 officers and men. Russian
losses were not mentioned.
The Ruulani reported . giving
up the citlet of Kramograd, Lo-
lovaya, Pavlograd, Kratnoirme-
lik, KrimitoVtk, Barvenkovo, Slavyansk and Llilchantk.
All of th ie hid been tiken in
the great Soviet Winter offenilve.
Lozovaya, about 88 milu thort of
the Dnieper River wu the high-
water mirk of the Weitwird puih.
It ls just 100 miles from Lozovaya Eastward back'to Lisichanks,
and, as nearly as such things can
be measured on such an active front
this represented in general terms
the extent of the Soviet retreat.
The towni lie in an area from 50
to 150 milea from Kharkov, the
closest being Kramograd, 50 miles
to the Southwest.
The. inference could be made
from the communique that the
German advance had been checked
at this point, but it was not so
stated and it was made clear that
the battle still is raging at full fury,
"Fierce battles ln which the German Fascist troops are suffering
tremendous losses in men and material, especially in tanks, are continuing in the district to the South
and West of Kharkov," aaid the
Moscow communique.
"Further attempts of the enemy to
develop his offensive and force a
crossing of the Northern Donots
River and take Kharkov were met
by firm resistance of our troops ani
the enemy did not meet any suc-
eesi."
In the period covered by this great
action in the South, now disclosed
in detail by the Russians ,for the
first time although the Germans had
given glimpses of lt, the Russians
were opening new fronts Northwest
and West of Moscow.
"The German command had Intended by means of deep encircling
blows to surround and destroy our
advanced troops .und recapture the
District of Kharkov."
The 25 divisions taking part in
the offensive included eight tank
and five infantry divisions which
were replenished after being battered previously, and 12 fresh divisions rushed from Western Europe, including four tank, one motorized and seven infantry.
The latest claims by the Berlin
radio have put German forces within 12 miles of Kharkov from the
West
A Reuters
patch from
quoted the
Scandinavian
News Agency dis-
Stockholm tonight
German-controlled
Telegraph Bureau
in a dispatch from Berlin as saying that the Russians had halted
the German counter-attack toward Kharkov.
'The counter-attack was stopped on an unnamed river outside
Kharkov," the dispatch said. "The
Russian position outside the city
has been reinforced by heavy artillery."
ADVANCE   ELSEWHERE
The Russians announced advances
in general over the remainder of
the front, particularly in the area
of Vyazma West of Moscow, where
the Germans have been falling back
under  i  thrre-coiumned  attack.
West of Gihatik the Russians
"continued their offensive and captured several dozen populated
places," the midnight communique
said, while Eait of Vyazma "our
units broken stubborn German resistance" md captured the railway
station and district centre of Tem-
kino, to the Southeast on the railway to Kaluga from Vyazma.

VICTORIA, March 9 (CP).—In 10
months from April 1, 1942, to Jan
31, 1943, British Columbiani consumed nearly 7000,00/1 more gallons
of beer than they did in the entire
fiscal year immediately preceding
Attorney-General R. L. Maitland informed Mrs. Grace Maclnnii (C. C.
F., Vancouver-Burrard) in answer
to a question on the Legislative order paper.
Mr. Maitland gives the following

capita per week; United States, 2
pints per capita per week; Britain
2.3 pints per capita per week. If the
population of British Columbia is
817,861, B.C. is in line in beer consumption with the rest of Canada,

How Would They Do It?
. Hon. F. G.'Perry, Minister of Education for British Columbia, hag ask-
the C.C.F. some pertinent questions
to how they would take over many
. lustries   and   utilities   that   some
t'Of them 'mention in their program.
[ ..Would they confiscate, or steal, them?
Would they use public funds for their
mrehase? If they used public funds,
then bonds would have to be sold, and
the public wpuH pay plenty in interest
,use of the increased bonded indebtedness.
He also asked, and this is even "more
£ pertinent, how they would operate
these industries once they had taken
them over. There have been Cases of
successful government operation, but
f they are less numerous than have-been
the failures, if efficiency and economy
and public service are the yardstick.
Mr. Perry sees no merit in replacing
tbe "bosses of capitalism" with the
"bosses of the CCF." He calls that
the "Nazi method". Certainly it is the
dictatorship method. There he touches
upon the fundamental weakness of
1 government operation of industry—experienced-management is replaced by
f. management by politicians, who may
be first class vote getters but do not
necessarily shine as sugar manufacturers, or railway operators or mining
or metallurgical engineers.
I        British Money Laid a
Foundation
British Government expenditures on
munitions plants in the United, States
prior to Pearl Harbour had much to do
with the tremendously rapid expansion
_of war factories. Staggering sums are
now being expended by the United
States and are producing staggering
totals in production of munitions, but
early expenditures of more than 3 billion by the British laid the groundwork, which has proved immensely valuable to the United States in its own
W\r effort, and to the United Nations
which are benefitting.
Lord Halifax, British Ambassador
at Washington, states in the American
Magazine that British expenditures in
{he American aircraft industry total a
billion and three quarters. British orders to the machine tooj industry boost-
■ ed the output from a quarter «f a billion to three times that figure in 1941.
Two of the American shipyards which
are so rapidly producing merchant
ships were constructed with British
capital. They are at Richmond, Calif.,
and Portland, Ore. It was British capital Which introduced Henry Kaiser to
the shipbuilding industry.
' Lord Halifax throws an interesting
light on difficulties in the early production of tanks. He asserts that while
we think of "the finest tank in the
. world, the 28-ton General SHerman—"
as an American product, it is in one
»ense "a joint Anglo-American enterprise." After finding their tanks almost useless in the Battle of France,
British purchased quantities of American General Lee tanks. "Perhaps you
can imagine our dismay, in those dark
days after Dunkirk," Lord Halifax
I says, "to discover that the General Lee
llad all the faults and weaknesses of
our own tank."
The result was that British and
American experts worked together
and subsequently prsdticed the General Grant and then the General Sher-1

Gandhi hai led the India Movement for

During that time he hai carried out nine hunger strikes, some directed against the British
Government and otheri againit Indian parties,
Including his own foUowen. Gandhi wai flrit
arrested by the British ai leader of t civil
disobedience campaign on March 11, 1922,
when he was sentenced to six yean imprisonment. He was released ln 1924. He itarted
another campaign ln December, 1929 which
resulted in hli arrest on May I, 1930, when
he wai held by British authorities until January 26, 1931. After a Bound Table conference
in London, Gandhi agreed to end the campaign, which wai effected 'March' 4, 1931.
Launching a mass disobedience campaign
again on June 13, 1942, Gandhi itated that
non-violent reiiitance would be offered to the
Japs ln event of an Invasion of India. Public
demonstrations and outbreaks followed, rioting flared Into the open during the latter part
of July and early August, when the British
Government stepped ln and arretted Gandhi
and all other important Indian Congreu leaders on August 9, 1942. Gandhi was placed ln
custody in the Aga Khan's caitle. In referring
to Gandhi's imprisonment at'this time, L. S.
Amery said ln the British House of Commons
that he was "put In-Jail as it wat the only alternative to anarchy to which Mr. Gandhi
teemi to look forwird t<j with iuch complacency."
In proteit against hli Internment by the
Government the 73 year old leader completed
on March 3, a 21-day hunger itrike.

THIS KIND OF  FOLLY SHOULD
BE SUPPRESSED
The Hamilton Spectator reporti that tht
chain letter pest has reappeared ln that city.
Tnli letter ll of the usual type with the accustomed Jargon of promises' and threats. The
claim Is made lhat the present chain was started by an American officer and that It has already gone around the world three tlmea
In order to terrorize the superstitious and
the weak-minded, dire misfortune It threatened all who "break the chain," and there will
b* t lot of good luck for thoie who make
four extra copies of the letter and send them
within 24 hours, to "people you wish good
luck to." Names are given of recipients who
followed the Instruction and were mysteriously
rewarded with sudden wealth.
There were chain letten, several of thtm,
during the Great War, and there have been
iome between the two win. No one hai ever
discovered the reaion for them and no sensible perion ever triei to Justify them. They
coit a lot of time, worry, paper and postage,
and many friendships have been broken because of the Impudent supposition that hli or

WASHINGTON, Mirch 9**(AP).
—Allied strength In thl Pacific ll
growing, and tht Jtptntit trt
hiving difficulty tupplying their
batei, Navy Secretary Prink
Knox uld today. But ht warned
thtrt mty bt mort flrtworki any
tlmt.
"A state of luiptndid tnlmt-
tlon" wtt hit tppraliil of tht Pacific tltuitlort In t Pren conference dlioutilon of relative powtr
following tht Eltmtrk ltt victory.
Losses inflicted on the Japaneae
ln the Blimark Sea by land-baaed
airplanes, and the havoc wrought on
enemy shipping by submarine,
Knox said, all are part of the process of attrition which he called "a
most serious factor" ln Japan's military future.
In line with Knox's anything-can-
happen thought, observers here recalled a report yesterday trom New
Guinea by C. Yatei McDaniel of the
Associated Press that authoritative
persons there fear there may be too
much optimism over the extent of
the Blsmark Sea victory.
McDaniel told of seeing official
photographs of at least 80 Japanese
warships and merchant vessels at
Rabaul ln New Britain and said
there is a lack of support for any
belief that the Japanese threat has
faded ln the New Guinea area or
that the enemy may have to aban
don much of his bases in the islands
North of Australia.
Knox said American forcei ire
stronger now in the Solomon Island
area than ever before.
Without adequate shipping, Komi
said, tht Japanese cannot maintain
their South Pacific bases ln many
instances and ht added ln thll connection that "our submarine campaign continues to bt vtry successful."
He idded that tht Unlttd Statei
ll "not a bit" worried about tha

Favors Wartime
Curfew in Home
By GARRY C. MYERS, Ph.D,
On various occasions In thla column and from platformi through'
out the country I have urged par
ents to establish ln the home a
strictly enlorced curfew law, to the
end that every child up to fourteen
dr fifteen shall make a bee-line for
home as soon as the street lighti
appear.
DELINQUENCY INCREASING
I doubt however whether many
parents have taken this propoial
seriously. In- the meanwhile, Juvenile delinquency is sky-rocketing.
Our country Is at war. Something
must be done at once to save the
young brotheri and sisters, sons and
daughters of our men who are offer
ing their lives ln all parts of the
world to defend our homes, our
liberties, and our democracy.
ESTABLISH A CURFEW
Therefore, I believe the time ls
at hand for stern measure!.' Let
every hamlet, every town, every
city In our land establish and rigidly enforce a curfew law to the end
that any youngster under fifteen
found on the street after dark unaccompanied by an adult must
have" an excuse from his parents.
No use, of course, to have a curfew law until there is sufficient
sentiment ln the community for its
enforcement.
We parents ihould consider ourselves unpatriotic unless we make
this contribution to the character
and citlzenahip of our children,
community and nation right now.
Furthermore, we parenta might
properly impow iome curfew regulation! on ounelvei. Our country ls
at war. What do you think about it?

Varicose Veins
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
Thli article is written by requeit
but at a matter ot fact lt ls probably
very timely because ln war work,
with womeh ud othen who art not
accustomed to standing for long periods, thtre ii undoubtedly a higher
Incidence ot varicose veins than ln
normal timet,
Varicoie velnt mty theoretically
occur anywhere, but over W paw
cent occur in the veini of the legi.
The veins" normally have little
valves on the Inilde, Thete valval
are thin membranet occurring ln
three cuipt attached to the wall of
the vein. They allow flow of blood
forward, but not backward.
CAU8E '
Varicosities In the veins are dUa
to tht breakdown ot theie valves.
The blood then accumulates ln tht
veins, which become engorged and
itand out in tortuosities. Naturally,
occupations or activities which require long periods of standing on the
feet tend to put a itraln on the
valvej io that ln theie occupations
varicose veins are a definite hazard
Naturally alio, time li an element
and varicose veliu do not occur In
children or young adults, but only In
thoie who have lived long enough
to create itraln on the valvej.
If ilugglshnen of tile circulation
and stasis of the circulation ln the
veins were the only Consequence!
of varicoie veini, they would not
constitute a very serloui or trouble,
some condition. All ot the valves In
every vein do not break down and
the push of blood from'behind keeps
the circulation going. But the nu
trl'.ion of the skin suffers markedly
from the duggishnesi of the clrcula.
tlpn ond ulcen appear. Even with'
out ulceration the skin takes on ■
colli, mottled appearance whtth de-
notet bid clrchlatlon and nutrition.
TREATMENT
The treatment ol varicoie veins ln
modern conditloni is fairly ilmple
compared to the difficult operation*
which were tn vogue 23 yean ago,
Palliative treatmasnt, elastic itock-
ings or bandages, li logical but
troublesome and requlret continuous
care. Even eo, it li not entirely satisfactory. The ' modern treatment
consists In injection! of the veins
with a sclerosing solution. This so.
lution roughens and makes raw the
lnsldei ot the walli of the veini
so that they grow together and the
vein is entirely obliterated.
I said above that never do HI
the valvei of all the velnt break
down. In the majority of cases the
outside veins of the legs are the ieat
of the varicosities, while the veins
of the middle of the legi remain intact. The surgeon will make sure
by tests which are well known that
the middle veins are competent to
handle the load of blood before he
starts the Injection treatment ol the
superficial veini.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A.D.:—What li the cause of a
person's finding it difficult to take
a long breath? Is thli from the heart?
Aniwer; The feeling thit you have
not got your breath to the tiottom

No heart disease il ever found in

sgalnst this contract, Eaat played
his 9 out of plain old-fashioned
force of habit. So when the A was
cashed, his 3 completed a high-
low signal. West had no option
now but to lead a third round of
the suit, his 4, which East ruffed
with the heart 7.
Now can you figure out any re
turn by Eut which would enable
hli ilde to icon the letting trick ?
Of courie not. Neither could ht.
The club 10 waa selected as t
choice among evils, but it really
made no difference. With East'i
trumpa cut down to three by thtt
ruff of a ipade, thi declarer waa
able to drop the hostile onea In
three rounds, discard a diamond
on the spade Q, and io make hit
contract.
If Eaat had leen the necessity
on an early diamond lead, In order
to get a trick with his K. and that
a apade ruff would not produce t
trick which could not te made
anyway aa a regular trump trick,
he would have played low on the
lead. Weat then could easily aee
that the mott desirable switch waa
to a diamond. If he had done that
to the' aecond trick, the defense
would.have beaten the contract
with two trlcki In spadea, one ln
hearti tnd one In dlamondi.

* The Japaneie army ia observing
Ita annual festival today by hold-.
Ing big air raid drills ln Tokyo
and Yokohama, Axli broadcasts
ray the exercises "will be made
more realistic by the flying of
captured American and British
planes" over the capital of the
empire and Its seaport. This emphasis on defence and on the United Statei and Britain ai the chief
enemies is Indicative of the army'i
current conception ot what llei
ahead. .
The "day of ttie army" In Japart
ia the annlveriary of the 1909 battle of Mukden, the climatic land
Victory of the Russian-Japanese war
which gave Japan her place among
the great powers. Before the present
war the day was dedicated to keeping alive th,e traditional enmity to,
ward Russia.
. A year ago, when most of the
world was speculating on Japan's
next move, there was widespread
belief that before many months or
weeks the would attack the Soviet
Union. -At that time the Mikado's
armies stood at the pinnacle of triumph.
The Japanese war machine had
apparently only to choose one ol
three roaJs to follow in order to
double the daizling riches already
gathered in: The Northern way into
Siberia, the Southern route to setae
the British Dominions of the Antipodes or the Westward road to Iqdfa.
The Southern adventure was chosen.
It came to grief on New Guinea ihd
in the Solomoni,        a
Lait year It wu If conceivable
to many that the Japaneae army
oould long withstand the temptation to itab Rusila ln the back
yhile Hitler held most of the
Red Army far to the West. It wai
not realized then how completely
Japaneie military leadenhip had
shifted its objectives, how the
Russian queitlon had been lubor-
dinated to the purpoie of expelling the white man from Asia aad
welding hil possessions Into Japan'i own greater East Asia.
But aayear hai gone by with no
change In the correct if not cordi.
al neutrality that mark! Japanese-'
Russian relations. The prospect ot
a Japanese attack on Russia never
appeared more remote. Both countries, fighting tor their Uvea on. other fronts, teem entirely willing to
leave well enough along on their
Amur and Ussurl River boundaries
From Moscow comet no encouragement for hopes that sooner or later
wc shall have Siberian air bases
from which to level Tokyo and Osaka.
The other change ln outlook since
the army day of 1942 ls no less significant. Then it appeared that Japan was all set for theconquest of
half a world. But today the Japanese
army realizes that the best it can
hope for li to hold a respectable
portion of what It has overrun.
From the highwatej marks on
Guadalcanal and the approaches to
Port Moresby the tide of Japanese
expansion has begun to ebb.

Hall of Fame
for Hockey!
By CHARLES EDWARDS
Canadian Prest Staff Writer
TORONTO, March 9 (CP.)- A
suggestion emanating from the
United States is for establishment
of a hockey hall of fame. Baseball
hat iuch a shrine and the conten<
tlon li that the immortal! of hockey
should be honored similarly. There'i
a lot to be iald for iuch a proposition but war-time does not seem a
prlpltloui moment for itartlng t.
And, if the propoial ever doei become tact, lt ihould be implemented by Canadians. Hockey aa« major
sport ls less than 20 years old South
of the border. The game Is Canada's
and any hockey shrine should be In
this Dominion. Halifax, Montreal
and Kingston, Ont., could make
well-founded bids to house- the
shrine for lt was ln these three cities, the records show, that hockey
first was played.
One of the greatest hockey players In history, Fred (Cyclone) Taylor of Vancouver, was at one time
an enthusiastic advocate of a hockey hall of fame. Although Taylor
himself would be an outstanding
candidate for a niche ln such a
shrine, personal considerations did
not Influence the Cyclone. He really loves the game and wants to see
its great names preserved for posterity.
