REDS RESISTING STUBBORNLY
No Decisive Nazi Victory
(War Commentary by "Annalist”)
LONDON, Aug. 24 (Reuter).The war on the eastern front is to-day entering Its tenth week without an decisive victory to the credit of the Germans. The battle is raging all along the front from the Baltic to the Black Sea and every- where desperate German assaults are matched by the stubborn resistance of the Red troops who appear to be fighting back with even greater zest and effect than at any time since the out-
break of the war.

'Greatest Naval Battle” If U.S. and Japan Clash
TOKYO, (UP)The greatest naval battle in the history of the world will develop if Japan and the United States go to war, according to Admiral Sunkichi Takahashi (retired), in an article written for the current issue of the "Talheiyo." He is a former commander-in-chlef of the Japanese navy,
Takahashi said a major battle would not develop immediately after the out-break of the way because the United States would probably establish a long-range blockade In an effort tu exhaust Japan.
The admira! warned, however, that eventually a gigantic clash would be inevitable.
