"It May be Wishful Thinkâ€" ing," Says Writer, "But Young Nazis Cheer, But We remember this because, on aA summer day of 1936, Hitler fired one of his most virulent verbal onslaughts upon Russia, to 50,000 Nazi youths. He told them that th® Russians could be pounded into impotence in short order. And the lads cheered so loudly that the roar of warplanes in the sky was silenced by the vast barrage of "Heils!" He did not mention the vanâ€" ished hosts of French boys who once yelled their cheers for Napoleon who was to lead them to gather the spoils of the same rich land. That was a job for the men who made the history books. How many of those children who cheered Hitler in 1936; how many among the millions of all ages in the armies of Hitler and Stalin will perish ere the Russoâ€"German conflict ends, is something we must learn from the history books of tomorrow. in the meantime, to the shricking of bombs and the rattle of musketry still the favorite national music of Germany, the slaughter has well beâ€" Germany, the slaughtler has well beâ€" gun. For there was a secret clause in the pact of friendship between Russia and Germany, signed in August, 1939 It was so secret that probably only the dark and crafty minds of Hitler and Ribbentrop knew of it. It was to the effect that the pact would be regarded as a temporary expedient only. Napoleon and Hitler Wishful thinking would cherish the hope that the German invasion of Russia might end as bitterly as did the French. But the machinery of modern warfare, its planes, tanks and trucks, offers little useful comparison with a campaign when armies went on foot. In one respect Hitler may be classed with Bonaparte. He has the same lust for power and personal glory for which Europe and the world pay so ghastly a price, and for him the same inevitable retribution is waiting. At the outset of his latest military adventure, Hitler can count many tr1â€" umphs. So could Napoleon. When the hnoles sounded and the drums rolled layer of hundreds of human bones was encountered and disposed of. They were the bones of French soldiers who perished in Napoleon‘s tragic rebreat from Moscow in 1812. If anfitomists had studied those skeletal remains, they would have found that the long bones of the arms and legs in a subâ€" stantial percentage of cases, still reâ€" tained the épiphyseal markings that denoted the youthfulness of the invadâ€" ing soldiers. There were tens of thouâ€" sands of ‘bovs in the armies that Naâ€" poleon led to disaster in the Russzfin campaign. At the outset of his latest military adventure, Hitler can count many triâ€" umphs. So could Napoleon. When the bugles sounded and the drums rolled to start the long march to Moscow, there were many victories blazoned on his banners. They had been won by the blood of Frenchmen in the prime of manhoodâ€"but the supply was getting low. That is why there were such imâ€" mense levies of boys in his Grand Army of 600,000,. Long, long ago, the bones of all but a remnant of these victims of the insane ambition of one man, were mingled with the soil now coveted by a madman still more danâ€" gerous.

Literally Beating Ploughshares Into the Tools of War same land, and proudly proclaims «t "the greatest military march in world history." But where does the march end? Perhaps the Shade of Napoleon knows. We ‘imagine the military men of Japan have some interesting thoughts about the German invasion of Russia. They have had prolonged experience in an attempt to conquer a vast country. They have achieved victory after vicâ€" tory in China, They have penetrated deeply, over mountain and plain. But the Chinese have not been defeated. They never will be. China is a dragon so huge that it can swallow a million Japs, and still grin at one end and was its tail at the other. And the Russian bear is twice as long and thrice as bulky. + (From Dopt. of Munitions and Supplies) This is fact, not metaphor. A centuryâ€"old Canadian manufacturâ€" inz company is doing an efficient job of beating ploughshares into the tools Oof war. The factory is situated in an eastern Ontario town. Not even a crumbling foundation stone remains of the crude blacksmith shop which was the birth»> place of the modern, sprawling indusâ€" try which stands upon its site today. For more than a hundred years this factory has been turning out farm imâ€" plements that have played an importâ€" ant role in the development of Canaâ€" dian agriculture. It still makes some implements, essential to Canadian farmers who are producing wartime food requirements, but there is an everâ€"increasing diversion of skilled workmen and precious machines to war work. hand throwing, and to increase fragâ€" mentation of the steel case when lt bursts. + c ; A simple operation transforms a rifle grenade into a hand grenade in a mat- ter of seconds. A spring lever is 1°cessed in the sxde of the bomb, which is held in plact by a cotter pin. When the bomb is thrown by hand, the soldier pulls out the cotter pin, which serves as a safety Many of the employees are veterans whose names have been on the payâ€" rolls for 30 or 40 years. There are some whose fathers and grandfathers before them were employed by this same comâ€" pany, handing down their skill and knowledge from generation to generaâ€" tion. They have devoted their lives to making things which stand as a symâ€" bol of Now they are toiling as they never toiled ‘before to produce a variety of the weapons of war. Chief production at present is that of rifle grenades. These are similar to the Mills bomb so familiar to those who served in the First Great War, but they have an attachment which makes it possible for them to be fired from a discharger on the muzzle of an army rifle. This increases both the range and accuracy of the grenade, a versa=~ tile and deadly weapon for close comâ€" bat. ' The grenade‘ is eggâ€"shaped, about four inches long and two inches in diameter. The outer surface is corâ€" rugated, hoth to give the thrower: a better grip when the grenade is used for hand throwing, and to increase fragâ€" catch to prevent untimely explosion in handling. The grenade is still safe so long as the lever in the side is depressed. When the grenade is thrown, removal of pres«â€" sure on the level releases a sprAing which, in turn, sets off the fuse. This time fuse burns whilé the grenade is in flight and ignites the explosive charge after a lapse of several seconds. The steel case is blown to pieces with terrific force, with devastating results to all who happen to be within a radius of 19 or 20 feet. The rifle grenade differs from the hand grenade in that it has a circular steel plate, known as a gas check, atâ€" tached to the base end. This gas check fits smoothly into a tubular disâ€" chargerâ€"attached to the muzzle of a rifle. The butt end of the rifle is held firmly upon the ground and a blank cartridge builds up terrific driving power against the base plate of the grenade and hurls it upon its mission of death. The coitter pin is pulled out when the grenade is placed in the disâ€" charger, and the lever is held down by the walls of the cylinder until the grenade is on its way. At first glance the rifle grenade seems to be a comparatively simple thing to make, but actually it is a carefully teâ€" signed device requiring a high degree of precision in manufacture. Some of the tolerances in machining are as fine as 3â€"1000th of an inchâ€"about oneâ€" tenth of the thickness of a human hair. Fach tiny component must be cut, shaped,. threaded, and fitted with great exactitude. The steel grenade shells are cast in lots of eight in modern moulding maâ€" chines. After the roughness of the cast has been smoothed off by grindâ€" ing, and in giant "rumbling" machines and the shot blast, the eggâ€"shaped bomib goes to the machine shop for drilling, threading, and finishing. These operations require much skill. Young apprentices, each trained to perform a single operation and to do it well, assemble the grenades. The body of the bomb is cleaned thoroughly and arnished inside and out. Workers inâ€" sert the tubular fuse holderâ€"the firâ€" ing pin, side lever, cotter pin and ring, gas check, filling plug, and other parts. Every part of the grenade has been subjected to careful inspection at every step of manufacture, but there is a final careful examination before the bombs are packed in wooden cases for shipment to the filling plants, where the explosives and fuses will be put in. "Hullo, dear," he said.. "I‘m sorry, but I won‘t beâ€" home till late tonight. I‘m fireâ€"watching." "Oh, you are, are you," snapped the wife. "And who is the flame?"â€"Orillia Newsâ€"Letter. "I had to learn everything there is to know about them," he related.
