Island Scores Another ‘First’ In Greek Fund

Prince Edward Island scores an- other "first", as the following tele- gram received yesterday by Hon. Dr. W. J. P. MacMlllan, rovincial chairman of the Greek ar Relief fund. clearly shows:

"Heartlest congratulations on reaching objective. As in Red Cross campaign, Prince Edward Island has again furnished the lead and inspiration for entire Dominion. National committee send profound .thanks.--Lionel E. Brittle, national campaign director the Greek War Relief fund.”

The objective set for this Prov- iiice was $3.000 out of a total of $500,000 for Canada.

The amount realized to clzite came mostly from Charlottetown and vi- cinity. When the subscriptions here have all come in. and the rest of the Province sends in its totals, the fund should top the $10,000 mark. Dr. MacMillan believes.

Indicative of the interest being shown in the fund and the gen erous spirit shown by the public is the fact that thirty-three pearl.- walked into the Bank of Montreal here yesterday to add their contrl buttons to s worthy cause.

There is no indication that the effort will be slackened Just because the nominal objective has been reached. The committee members are intensifving their efforts in or der that the gallant people of Greece mnv have that much add".- tional food coming to them when the fund is finally closed.

Germans Worried Over U-Boat Losses

LONDON, June l5 (CP)—-A Daily Sketch columnist wrote today that "the German armaments council" was threatening to stop raw ma- terial priority to submarine yards “unless the U-boat can be proved to be more effective."

"The German armaments council is scriouslv disturbed by the cams iropliic U-boat losses due in new Allied weapons in reccut months.

War Situation Last Night

‘i1 By Glenn Babb, Associated Press War Analyst

Generals Stilwell and Chennault, who lead the small American forces auparorting China's valiant fight to remain an effective member of the Unite Nations, are back at their posts of command. They have re- turned to a situation far more hopeful than that of two months ago. when they flew to Washington to report on the perils and opportunities of the China theatre. What they accomplished in Wasliin ton and what their men did in their absence put a new comploxiurs ou t e China-Jap- an WEI‘.

When the two Generals left China. it was generally agreed that there were three fronts 1n the global conflict on which it was possible for the enemy to inflict a catastrophic defeat on the Allies. These were the At- lantic, Russia and China, with the menace greatest in China. A decisive Axis victory in any of the three might have altered the entire outlook for the United Nations.

It would be foolish to assume that these dangers are over, I-fitlers U- boat packs still may come u with new wea ns or new tactics that will deny the Atlantic to the All es. The possibil ties of a German victory in Russia this summer or a knockout of China by Japan can not be ruled ou .

But it Is entirely possible that the Allies are over the hump in all three theatres.

As for Russia and China, the continued inactivity of the Axis armies there presents the biggest current question mark of the war.

In lcr’s case it may be that he already feels that the western Al- lies‘ attack is too imminent to permit him to commit the greater part of’ his resources to the Russian offensive.

However, Allied military authorities admit they have not found a satisfactory answer to the puzzle of Japan's apparent fact of offensive intent. Thcy feel that she still disposes of formidable striking forces that may appear suddenly where least expected. The next few wecks should solve this riddle. If the Japanese lct this summer slip without at- tacking it nrobahly will be too late then for them fo do serious harm either to China or Russia.
