They simply do not make sense. The Germans, for instance, will claim the destruction of 50 British war planes with losses of but 15 of their own ships, while the British, on the same day, will reverse the figures. And the dispatches of the war correspondents are not a great deal more helpful for the most part. These correspondents art able and hon est reporters, but they are subjected to an iron censorship and must necessarily couch their comment in vague terms. And the warring governments make sure that the correspondents see only what they want them to see. Thus the confused reader must look largely to other sources of information if he seeks an approximation of the truth. And such other sources exist in this country. The War and Navy departments have channels of information which have proven extremely accurate. They maintain naval and military attaches in countries with which we have diplomatic relations, whose job it is to coldly discern the facts, unaffected by sentiment. And, according to late accounts, these observers are convinced that, the Britin the ish reports of axe on now air in war the going great for more accurate than the German. That comes as good news to most of the American people, who believe that the defeat ' of England would gravely endanger us. Apparently it is true that British pilots and planes are better than the German. Furthermore, it is believed in some official circles that the British claim that Empire plane production has at last caught up with German, is pretty close to the fact And some also believe that British production is now ahead cf losses, while German production of first-lin- e fighting aircraft is less than losses. The English have one very definite advantage is this air war. Only a handful of British planes are sent over the continent, while hundreds of Ger man planes are sent over England the Nazis are on the offensive, and Britain's raids on Germany are large ly of a retaliatory charactei. That means that when a German pilot bails out of a destroyed ship and lands safely he goes to a prison camp while a British pilot who saves himself with his parachute lives to fight for the Crown another day. German planes crashing on the "tight' little island-- ' are of salvage value to the British, as are their own planes. This doesn't mean that Germany has lost balance of air power, so far as the statistics are concerned. Eest estimates place the German first-lin- e force at 12,000 ships, as against 6,000 for England. And Germany probably has more trained pilots. But it does mean that Britain is catching up. And it is reported that some recently captured German pilots had only half the training that is given English pilots be fore they are sent into combat. Whether that is the result of a shortage of pilots in. Germany, or a policy of holding her best men in reserve for a future attack of unprecedented severity, is a matter of question. American military experts give Britain a far better chance of surviving now than they gave her two or three months back. Some cataclysm of the near future may prove them 100 per cent wrong, but thy feel that Hitler has little chance of making his timetable click this time that is, of subduing England before October comes with its fogs and storms. All through fall and winter and early spring the British Isles are blanketed in a dripping mist. It is significant that an Italian newspaper which often speaks for Mussolini recently said that the war may last two more years. That is a very different tune than the Axis leaders were singing after the collapse of France. Britain, of course, is still in grave danger. If fog prevents flying, it also provides a screen for an invasion over water. Hitler is known to have constructed armadas of shallow draft toats, equipped to carry tanks and field pieces as well as troops. That the reason why Great Britain needed the 50 over-ag- e destroyers we recleases on naval traded her for ently and air bases in British possessions in this hemisphere. With the destroyers she has lost, the number in k for repairs, and those which must be kept elsewhere, she probably had only 50 or CO of these ships of her own for Island defense. And destroyers are far more ffective in the narrow Channel than are larger, slower and less maneuvered ships. easily At any rate, the experts are becom-inmore hopeful over Britain's chances daily. And they arc also convinced that air attacks can not produce nearly the damage and the terror the proponents of ruthless r warfare anticipated. give-and-ta- ke THESE ARE MY JEWELS Oil Cleaner I I Previews of the 1941 Pontiac cars reveal that the company's engineers have designed and perfected the first built-i- n oil cleaner in the industry that cleans 100 per cent of the oil before it goes through the pump and into the bearings. The new type cleaner for which patents are pending will be an exclusive feature on all 1941 Pontiac six and eight cylinder engines, according to H. J. Klinger, president and general manger of the company. Most oil cleaning devices he points out operate by passing engine oil through some sort of a filtering element which sooner or later becomes clogged and has to be replaced. Also, most filters work on a principle by which only a small percentage of the oil is filtered and then only after having gone through the oil pump and to the bearings. The new Pontiac oil cleaner, Klinger says, is built into the engine and not attached, never has to be removed ajid cleaned and every drop of oil has to pass through it before it goes to the pump and bearings. Located at the inlet to the oil system in the bottom of the engine base, the cleaner consists of a settling cham ber which is concentric with the oil inlet tube. Around the settling chamber is an inverted cup and between the cup and the settling chamber is a cylindrical screen. All of the oil passes first through the screen which takes out any large particles of dirt Then it enters the inlet pipe and is drawn upward flow ing against the bottom of the inverted cup. This changes its direction and causes it to flow downward around the outside of the inlet pipe for ai short distance where it strikes a flat j baffle. The baffle causes the direction of the oil to be sharply reversed throwing all particles of dirt out of BEAR RIVER CITY By Mrs. C V. C. C. C.
