Hitler's first move in that direction would mean war with the bolshevists. And there is still another possibility.

Hitler is reported to be applying the heat to Japan to force her to make war on Britain and the United States in the far east, to create a diversion for the benefit of the European' conflict. Stalin can't overlook that situation, which VSWEOEN Ji-r 7- Ukraine region, rich wheat, likely attack from SOVIET Baltic Sea Mediterranean Sea in v3L GREECE Nsss- Ol5 in the outstanding social events of the 1941 season," states also that the invitation list was carefully Attack on disrepair will begin at 1 p. m.

Chenoa Teacher Changes Announced CHENOA. (PNS) Miss Erma Fischbach, who has taught the eighth grade in Chenoa for several years, Wednesday asked for and was granted a leave of ab sence for the coming year. Mrs. Ellen Degnan, who has taught Ocoya school for the last five years, has been engaged to teach the eighth grade. Miss Alwilda Ballinger of Chenoa has been engaged to teach the second grade to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of Mrs.

Roy Hammon, formerly Miss (Mildred Mastin. Miss Ballinger has been teaching in Maroa the last five All the other teachers will con tinue next year. Returns to Home Mrs. Joseph Kelly, 208 South Mc Lean street, who has been seriously ill and a patient at Mennonite hospital the last month, is now reported recovering and returned to her home Wednesday. One hundred fourteen McLean county young men will leave May 28 for induction into the nation's conscript army.

Fifty will go from Bloomington (one less than in April), 31 from draft area No. 1 and 33 from draft area No. 2. The total sent in April was 124. Eelectees will go to Chicago for final physical examinations before being sent to Camp Grant or Fort Sheridan for a few days.

Then they will be moved to regular training camps. The May quota marked the first slight decline in the. monthly number inducted since selective service began. State Selective Service Director Paul Armstrong earlier had said the state draft quota would be lower in May, partly becouse training facilities in some army camps have not yet reached maximum efficiency. In the armory Wednesday night Bloomington's staff of physicians and dentists, donating their services, gave physical tests to possible selectees in the first streamlined mass examination.

Is the bolshevist chief thinking of sending his great army into action? It would be rash to take that for granted, as I see the position.

It ia fair to assume, however, that he envisages that possibility and is getting set to meet the crisis if and when it develops. Some observers believe Stalin's move portends a change in possibly a break with Germany. That might be, for a clash between Russia and Nazidom sooner or later seems inevitable to" many. Stalin's assumption of the premier ship, however, isn't very strong evidence that such a development is impending, eince Soviet policies long have needed his approval, and he didn't need to take the premier's office to change a policy. I believe Stalin's taking over of his new office was to place accent on his leadership to bring him into active command in the Held so to speak.

Such a move Isn't strange, for he can see that the World war is on the verge of momentous developments. Russia might easily be drawn into the melee, and in any events he wants to be prepared to take advantage of any opening which will benefit Russia and the CommurUst world revolution.

0 0 3 3 0 Red Leader Wants to Be Ready for It BY DEWITT MACKENZIE. A'soclated Preu Foreign News Editor. (Informed Opinion) Joseph Stalin's surprising emergence from the privacy of the office where he has quietly but firmly pulled the strings of government, to assume the pre- mlership of Russia, is far from self explanatory, but it strikes me there is one assumption we can make safety that he foresees some imminent crisis and has put himself in the slot to deal with it. When we go further, however, and try to put a finger on the exact crisis he has in view we should move cautiously, for the mind of the Muscovite sphinx is a closed book excepting as he resorts to action. Still, there are several logi cal possibilities.

May Foresee U. S. in" War. Among these I should p'ut well to the fore the growing tension be tween the Axis and the United States. Stalin sees Washington's stiffened attitude, as evidenced by such developments as Secretary of War Stimson's plea for use of our navy to guarantee the success of the aid to Britain program.

The Communist leader notes the Nazi announcement that it is preparing to increase munitions production on the assumption that there is a possibility America may enter the war. Maybe he too believes that the United States may'get into the conflict I don't know that. He wouldn't be the chief of all the Rus-elas, however, if he didn't have the foresight to prepare for such a contingency. That event would completely alter the complexion of the war, and would be bound to have a profound effect on he Soviet union. There is another matter which is of vast concern to Stalin.

That is Germany's thrust into what Russia considers her preserves in the lower Balkans and on the Dardanelles, and the indications that Hitler may strike into the near east, thereby further menacing Soviet interests. Japan a Threat. Then there have been signs that Hitler is again looking with specu-latlves eyes on Russia's Ukraine. Possession of that productive state would give the Nazis vital supplies If you own property you know the responsibilities that go with it.
