RESIST AXIS--sia has confined reaction to the Greek war to such generalized statements as today's Red Star (army newspaper) remark that it would be a long struggle. Rome Claims Advances in Greece.
Rome Claims Advances in Greece
At Rome, however, it was stated that "our troops have continued to advance in Greek territory, overcoming resistance of enemy rear guards." No definite figures were given as to the extent of advance but disputes from Albania said that Albanian troops were fighting with the Italians.
Dispatches from half a dozen European points indicated that the Italian thrust into Greece was but one phase of a general winter offensive being inaugurated by the Axis powers without interrupting the German-Italian bombing raids on the British Isles.
Describing German attacks on the British Isles the High Command said that military objectives had been attacked in South England, including Portsmouth harbor and an ammunition dump at Great Yarmouth.
The High Command said that Italian planes participated in yesterday's daylight raids and it claimed that last night a number of air fields in eastern counties were attacked. It was said that hangars and barracks were set afire and that numerous grounded planes were destroyed or damaged.
FIND FISH BOWL---department offices including that of the Secretary of War and the war plans section are located in the munnits building. While lottery crews pulled numbers up the street, Gen George C. Marshal, Chief of Staff, turned out from his Ft. Myer quarters to direct troops hastily assembled around the burning building.
By the millions the young men turned out of bed today aware that 800,000 (M) of them in a few months —30,000 by Nov.18—will be inducted into the Army. Volunteers probably will fill the Nov.18 quota or come close to it, officials said.
But the draft is on. The United States is preparing to fire proof its defenses in a flaming world. 800,000 In First Contingent
Selective Service Director Clarence A. Dykstra estimated that the first 1,500 to 3,000 numbers drawn will provide the 800,000 who will form the first trainee contingent in the new National Army. The remaining thousands are a backlog for next year and the year after as training progresses.
Only a lack of housing would prevent the selective service system from pouring men into the army at a rate greatly in excess of the schedule under which the full 800,000 of the first contingent is to be in cantonments by June 15. From 30,000 on Nov. 18 the program steps up steeply this way:
Dec. 2----60,000
Jan. 3----60,000
Jan.3----60,000
Jan. 15----90,000
Feb. 10----160,000
Feb. 10----180,000 March 5----200,000

COOK DESCRIBES--the brunt of the effects of the war. Mr. Cook pointed out that "the evacuation machinery was magnificent, but the insight of social life was not so good." It was the differences in speech, religion and social status between the evacuated children and those living in the reception areas that presented conflicting conditions. In many instances the evacuees returned to London, and approximately one-third of those evacuated at the beginning of the war have since returned to their homes. Because of these conflicting conditions, scientific research of the neurotic conditions produced by the war is very difficult, he said.
In closing Mr. Cook pointed out that perhaps one of the most significant aspects of the psychological effects of the war would be seen in the more democratic relation among the peoples of England in the future.
The American Society of Chemical Engineers will meet at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Memorial Union building.
