GERMAN OFFICER
(By Reuter's Correspondent in Cairo)
BY THE END OF THE winter Germany will hardly be able to carry on the war owing to the Russian resistance and continued R.A.F. raids, in the opinion of a senior Ger- man air force officer at present stationed in Athens.
This frank confession was made to a Greek student, one of many who have escap- ed from Athens recently and eventually probably the loudest in their reaching Syria and thence making their way

Many people would rise from res'aurant tables hungry were It not that "habit helps one over, many difficultica,"
"Admitting that food conditions in Germany were worse even than in the Balkans, the officer con- cluded 'We were forced to attack Russia for wheat and oil and even if now we conquer the Soviet it will take at least a year to get production working in the Ukraine.'”

Expect Victory This Year
Everybody is trusting that the war will end this year, as Hitler promised. From the humblest workman to the big-scale employ er, all cling to and talk of this prophecy.
