Military men do not believe Japan
will dare to send a sufficient fleet in-
to that area to guard her shipping and
bases foh to do so would dangerously
weaken her position, in the. Pacific,
where United States fleets already
have grown so; strong that they are
an actual' menace to the Japanese
home islands. To send any consid-
erable force to offset the British fleet
would invite the American forces to
make even more danng strikes than
those already delivered.,

planning to drive the Japs from the
Adaman islands and to establish a
strong air base there. The shelling of
Port Blair by submarines may have
.been a feeler in preparation for such
a move. If the Adamans should 'be
taken by’ the British the Jap water"
route to Burma would be cut in two
and then an amphibious operation
against Rangoon would be feasible
These are grave possibilities which
the Japs must take into consideration
in planning their future defense of
their island empire, and they add to
the headaches of Tojo, which must be
rather severe these days.
Japan is not beaten—isn’t even
about to be beaten—but the ground is
being prepared for that event, and the
British fleet in the Bay of Bengal is
an important part of those prepara-
tions.

one more warning of coming events which
our government refused to accept. -Since the

failed to take the steps that would have ’
made successful attack impossible.

A PRETTY PRICE TO PAY
FOUR .TRICKS is a pretty
high price to pay for a single mis-
take, But it is the simple mis-
takes that cost the most, and they
can be that expensive every once
in a while. Failure to make an
ordinary safety play can bring
terrific punishment, especially
such a basic one as discontinuing
trump leads in order to leave one
tn dummy as protection against a
ruff which can wreck you if you
have to make it ln your own de-
pleted hand.

A grunt arid a tightening of
Olsen s lips.
Colin nodded toward Olsen’s
■gaunt- teamy yapping hun^rifi:
outside. "Why don't you feed
.your dogs?" •
This time Olsen deigned to
speak. "Next time you write a
book, you might mention that
dogs don’t eat fox meat.”
"They eat parts of them, or
hadrit you heard? Look!" Pick-
ing up the fox's stomach,- Coiin
tossed it to Olsen's dogs,
The pffect was electric. With
a herwi of panic Olsen dropped
his skinning knife, raced outside,
and tore the stomach from, the
mouth of the nearest' dog.
‘m Trembling and pale, he whirled
" on. Colin,, .
"You mind your—"
,He stopped. Every man in the
skinning shed was watching him,
and now they closed about him.
Colin’s voice was low with an-
ger. “So you don't like your dogs
to cat a fox when it’s stuffed
with poisoned whitefish?" He
held up two of Alscn's unskinned
foxes for everyone to sec. "Look
how bloated the^ are. Poisoned,
. all of them! Every animal here
was killed, with strychnine."
A growl measured the temper
of the crowd. Olsen had never
been likcd—cveryone looked on
him as the ringleader of Ten-
nant's trappers — and the men
in -the skinning shed -pushed
closer in ominous, expectant sil-
ence. ......• ' •• •

"I’m not sure,' Colin ,

Vainly Olsen looked about him
for some of his fellows, but his
search met only that hostile cir-

Then the circle was broken by
Selkirk's chief trapper. Grey
eyes snapping, he elbowed his

'shook.. “So that's'how,my dogs
