THU'RSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1914 Unprofitable Argument Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Pacific Fleet commander, elaborate upon his recent declaration that Japan could defeated without actual invasion, but because he la a Navy man it is probably not unreasonable to assume that he believes the preponderance of American naval power has bacome such that it can force the Japanese to give up the fight without the necessity of sending armies. ashore. Japan is thickly populated group of islands of limited resources, with blockade, production plus centered destruction in a few by naval large gunfire coastal of cities. those A cities, tight might conceivably force her to cry "uncle," although the character of the bitter -end resistance we have met from Japanese troops on island outposts would seem to indicate that such a surrender would not come until the Japanese ple had been literally starved into submission.
Commenting on the admiral's remarks, Alexander P. de Seversky, apostle of air power, quite properly has pointed" out that without Allied domination of the air Admiral Nimitz' warships would never dare sail close enough to Japan to' destroy her cities or impose an effective blockade. Not naval power, says de Seversky, but aerial power, is the "single strategic force that alone can defeat a nation." And plenty of others capable. of speaking with equal authority can be: found to argue that regardless of the contributions of the naval and air arms, it is by the work of the foot soldiers and the artillerymen that the final: decisions in warfare are achieved. Debate of this kind is interesting but.
of doubtful Certainly all our experience in Europe has been that decisions are gained not by any "single strategic force" but by the coordinated application of all of them. Nobody can say with finality, for example, "to what extent the aerial bombardment of Germany made possible the current sucF of ceases combined of Allied operations ground is forces. even In more the. evident. Pacific Neither the our necessity sea nor land forces can hit.
Japan effectively without the aid, of one or more of the others. Instead of arguing the respective capacities of the several branches we will be wise to continue the development of methods of using them together; to best advantage." -Buy War Savings Bonds 1 'And Stampsg Romania Changes Sides Rostania's prime reason for quitting the 'Axis is the same a rat's reason for leaving a sinking ship. With the sans smashing into the heart of the country from the north and east, with her neighbor to the south, Bulgaria, on the verge of abandoning the war, and with Hitter no longer able to give her effective aid, she simply had no choice but to rot out or face destruction. The. Romanian decision was taken with the thought in mind that a change of front, even at this late hour, might cable her to salvage something from the wreckage of defeat.
The Russians have promised her, with the agreement of the Western Allies, peace terms described by Winston Churchill as "generous." 'Although they have not been made public, it' is taken for granted that they call for the return to Russia of Bessarabia and upper. Bukovina, but there are Indications that they" may also hold forth; hope for the recovery by Romania of valuable territories taken from her by Hitler. As a reward for support of the Axis, it will be remembered, Germany early. in the war, gave Hungary a big piece of Romanian Transylvania, As. compensation" Romania was promised extensive Russian areas.

Today we will consider the medical emergencies which. may occur to adults. Adults 'are not subject to emer. gencies from natural disease nearly as much as children.
