Rostov Line Is Crumbling Reds Report
By International News Service
By International News Service
Victorious Russian armies advancing in a semi-circle north of Rostov yesterday threatened the entrapment of Nazi forces estimated at half a million men along the northern coast of the Sea of Azov.
Official reports indicated that the entire German front in southern Russia was crumbling. Unconfirmed reports in Moscow, broadcast by CBS correspondent Bill Downs, said that the Germans were setting fire to Rostov, apparently in preparation for evacuation.
Another Nazi army, which has been estimated variously at anywhere between 70,000 and 150,000 men was fighting with its back to the coast of the Sea of Azov. Japanese newspapers today carr reports admitting that 35 Japanese warships were sunk or damaged and 611 Japanese planes destroyed or damaged in the Solomon Islands and New Guinea area between Aug. 7 and Feb. 13.
Attacks on Solomons Continue
This outburst of frankness of course was coupled with fantastic claims of American losses. Tokyo says that 24 Allied ships, mostly American, had been sunk or damaged in the same period, besides those previously listed sunk or damaged. 205 Allied planes were said to have been shot down.
In Washington the Navy department announced that. American planes were continuing their incessant attacks on enemy bases in the Solomons with three successive raids Thursday. All of the American planes returned safely to their bases.

John Moore Leads Division III
John Moore Coop, leader in Division III, with the Blanks and Hell-hounds following with one defeat each, will try to stay on top by defeating the 4-F's Wednesday night.
Phi Delt and Fiji quintets will decide the championship of the B squads at 8:30 Tuesday night. Both teams, evenly matched, easily overcame their opponents this past week and the game Tuesday night should be close.
Henry Shenk, intramural director, announced today that although plans have been completed for the spring intramural sports, the entry blanks will not be mailed out for some time owing to unsettled conditions existing in army and navy reserves. Shenk pointed out that few teams could be organized as yet because of the difficulty of knowing how many men will be in school this spring.
BUESCHER'S MARITAL---portability of construction materials eliminates many transporting problems. The cannon on display on 14th street was made from an 80-pound bag of plaster. One soldier can carry two bags of this size.

Appello-like Buescher (his sadeyed poker face wears off when he talks) already has a satisfactory supply of feminine companionship.
John is a cinch to be on the campus until graduation because he's 4-5. The lad is classified so because of once upon a time lung trouble.
But he is never sick now and the doctors prophesy Buescher will be around when the twentieth century is history.
Letters to the Editor
EDITOR:
This letter concerns the Kansan's recent poll of women students to gather opinions on the draft, and refers, in particular, to the statement made by Margaret Penny, a senior in the business school, which read as follows: "I am against registration. It is probably the best thing for the war effort but I am against the war effort. I think that less harm would be done by letting the enemy take over than by the war."
Of course Miss Penny is certainly entitled to her own opinion and freedom of expression of the same, but I am sure I speak or many of the University women when I say that I sincerely hope that any outsider reading this article will not draw the conclusion that this defeatist's attitude is one held even by any slight number of the women students here at the University of Kansas.
The camouflage cannon constructed by the fall camouflage class under the supervision of T. D. Jones, assistant professor of design, and Bernard "Poco" Frazier, instructor of design, has attracted the attention of the Second Army Corps Headquarters at Omaha. Two army officers from Omaha came to Lawrence Thursday in response to a___
I, personally, cannot understand the frame of mind of anyone making such a statement. It seems to me that, should the government deem the drafting of women necessary, any red-blooded American woman would feel proud and be only too willing to do whatever she could to help speed the day when this mess will all be over "and the boys come home again all over the world."
Naturally all University women feel that education is vitally important. If we did not think so we wouldn't be here, but many of the boys have been called into the service without being allowed to finish their education, a fact which is unquestionably more deplorable than the fact that some of us women may not be able to finish our college careers. I hardly think that the next generation will suffer to any extent because their mothers missed out on ten hours of Spanish.

Army Officers Inspect Cannon Camouflage
The military men spent the day interviewing Professors Jones and Frazier on the adaptations of sculpture plaster working technique for camouflage principles and looking over the cannon. They took photographic records of the camouflage process to Omaha.
The principal value of the camouflage cannon lies in its rapid, accurate and economical construction. Professor Frazier said. The easy
Thursday in response to a photograph of the cannon sent to the headquarters by Capt. Elperson E. Baker, assistant professor of military science.
In 16 hours a crew of 12 men can make 30 similar cannons to the one in the camouflage class, Prof. Frazier explained. The process has such possibilities in accuracy that guns could be constructed so realistically that even the inventor would have to tap them to discover they were camouflage.
