I ITiVI " I efl | I I I ■ J • Geography Makes Modern History In Huge Mediterranean Theater of War (Specially prepared for Western Newspaper Union by tho National Geograpbic Society.) OF THE many regions that stretch behind the world’s shifting battle lines, none is more fantastic than those of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Near East (the ‘‘Middle East” in British geography). In size alone this theater of war, and preparations for war, is spectacular. It covers a broad band of land and sea that extends from somewhere in the vicinity of bomb-shaken Malta to the shores of the Black and Caspian seas. Within this general area, four significant campaigns already have been fought with varying degrees of intensity and blood shed: The battles for Greece, Libya, Syria and Iraq—plus a fifth struggle near by for East Africa, which resulted in the re turn of the Ethiopian King of Kings to his ancient throne. Today, the east Mediterranean and the adjacent land-bridge of na tions, which links the continents of Europe, Africa, and Asia, form a gigantic chessboard, made up of in dependent and occupied countries, of opposing colonies and island bases. It includes Axis-occupied Greece and Libya; British-held Egypt; technically at peace while bombs fall on her cities and battles rage in her deserts; and uneasy, neutral Turkey. It holds the all important approaches to the Egyp tian and Russian fronts byway of the Red sea and the Persian gulf, through Iran and Iraq,' across the Levant States fSyria), Trans-Jordan and Palestine. The mere list of place names on the routes of men and materials bound for the battle lines indicates the international complications and physical difficulties. To these far flung regions, the war has brought innumerable problems for techni cians and diplomats—and ceaseless activity. New motor roads appear and airports spring up in desert wastes. New harbor facilities are built in old ports, toward which con voys of troopships, oil tankers, freighters and vessels of all kinds, race under the constant threat of the enemy in the air. Key Points Manned. At key points throughout the east ern Mediterranean and beyond, the armies of fighting men and ma chines have gathered. , Axis forces may operate from Italian Taranto, Greek Piraeus, Libyan Tobruch; from the German-captured island of Crete; and Italy’s Pantetleria and Dodecanese islands. On their side, the United Nations stand at such vital spots as Suez and the Nile delta, in the Egyptian deserts and on the island of Cyprus; at Syrian and Palestine ports and inland oil fields of Iran and Iraq. On a map you can see at a glance how geography dictates the war’s movements. You understand why the British base of Malta, athwart the Axis life line to Libya and the Egyptian front—and less than 60 miles from Italian Sicily—is the most bombed spot on earth: How the oil pipe lines from the Caspian fuel the Russian fleet on the Black sea: How variations in the earth's surface, from the sunburnt Qattara Depression of Egypt to the eternally snow-capped mountains of the So Old Meets New on the African Front ‘ts ow" story! The camel (sometimes humorously called the ship of the desert”) is valuable in desert warfare. But for combat and for swift maneuvers the airplane is still indispensable. Moslems—Spiritual Rulers of North Africa Founded by Mohommed, the faith which bears his name dates its era from the year 622, when Mohammed and his disciples were driven from Mecca to Medina by Arabs who sup ported the .traditional form of idol atry, against which Mohammed preached. Later, however, Moham med's power increased sufficiently to enable him and his followers to retake Mecca two years before his death in 632, Mecca has remained the capital of the Moslem world. No man may wear his street shoes into a Mosque, the Mohammedan house of worship. Since Moslems (or Mohammedans) dominate the the ater of war in North Africa, scenes like this are customary. viet Caucasus, determine the meth ods and tools of warfare. The Mediterranean and Near East areas, however, are extraordinary for more reasons than contrasting battlegrounds and governments. There, where East meets West, to day’s machine-age conflict is being played out against a background as old as the recorded history of man. Where New Meets Old. Multi-motored bombers fly over the traditional Garden of Eden, now largely desert, and over the City of Babylon, seat of empires that rose and waned thousands of years be fore Christ. Flying boats land on the Sea of Galilee, and tanks rum ble along routes that once were car avan trails such as the Three Wise Men followed to Bethlehem. Brit ish and American engineers set up anti-aircraft positions, and plan un derground storage tanks for gaso line and water for their winged forces near ancient routes followed by the Children of Israel and the foot-weary armies of Alexander and the Crusaders. They install mod ern machinery for unloading mass war shipments in Persian Gulf ports of Arabian Nights romance, such as Sindbad the Sailor knew. The Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx rise -within sight of busy, crowded Cairo on the Nile, British base and capital of Egypt. In the bazaars of Damascus (probably the earth’s oldest inhabited city), American soldiers from Boston or St. Louis, Oregon or Florida, may bargain for candied fruits, or sit around smoking braziers where Or iental chefs fan spitted mutton with a chicken wing, or serve such clab bered milk of sheep or goat as has been a mainstay in the Levantine diet for thousands of years. Cradle of Civilization. This part of the world has often been called the “Cradle of Western Civilization.” From the regions of the eastern Mediterranean spread the alphabet, knowledge of mathe matics, medicine, politics, and phi losophy; lessons in sculpture, ar chitecture and drama. There primi tive wheels turned on their bulky axles, and men learned to use sails and save their arms from the heavy pull of galley oars. Near the Euphrates in what was Mesopotamia (now Iraq) is Ur of The Moslem religion has no sacra ments and neither altars nor images. The mosques, the Moslem houses of worship, contain a pulpit and u reading desk, but no ! chairs. A niche indicates the direc tion of Mecca, toward which a Mo hammedan must turn when he prays. The mosques are always open and are used as general meet ing places. They even serve as quarters for travelers and as school rooms for the local teachers. the COSTILLA n/wINTY DEMOCRAT the Chaldees, birthplace of Abra ham. For Bible students these are the Holy Lands: Land of Goshen, where the Israelites toiled; Mount Sinai of the Ten Commandments; Jerusalem, Jericho, and the River Jordan. The world’s three major religions, Judaism, Christianity and Moham medanism, were bom in this comer of the globe. In Jerusalem are found three shrines, sacred to the adherents of these faiths—the Wail ing Wall, where reverent Jews come to pray and lament, the Christian Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and And Now — Sju mm a t WfHb And now, what? Fast action and stirring deeds on the African front have replaced the earlier talk about that continent's possible strategic importance. But the prophets, aware that anything can happen (and often does), are maintaining a Sphinx-like silence. Here an In dian soldier is shown chatting with an Egyptian. the Moslem Mosque of Omar. Leg endary site where Jesus was bur ied, the Church of the Holy Sepul chre is shared by most of the world’s Christian religions, includ ing the Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Armenian, Jacobite, and Coptic. Moslem World in Allied Sphere. The eastern-Mcditerranean and Near-East areas within the wartime sphere of the United Nations are, however, predominantly Moslem countries. There is found the world’s heaviest concentration of the follow ers of Mohammed, whose ways may seem strange to many a British Tommy and Anzac, many an Amer ican Doughboy, engineer, or tech nician meeting them for the first time. The Moslem disciple lives accord ing to dogmatic religious rules, in cluding prayer, fasting, and the holy pilgrimage, especially to Mecca. Pork and wine are strictly forbid den. During Ramadam, the sacred ninth month of the Moslem calen dar, good Mohammedans observe a rigid fast between dawn and dark, when they neither eat nor drink, or engage in any activity that might come under the head of pleasure or comfort, from smoking to smelling perfume or flowers. From Egypt to Iran, this is Arab country, where the flapping bur noose, the mosque, and the "ship of the desert”—the camel—are still typical features of the scenery. Yet, more and more, long before the outbreak of the war, the "Change less East,” was changing fast under the impact of Westernized industry and Western habits. Radios, electricity, movies and air-cooled cafes were becoming fa miliar in the cities of the Near East, along with modernistic apartment houses, smart shops and night clubs. On the streets, girls in modern dress, with bobbed hair and high i heels—and the vot«—were replacing the oldttme shrouded, veiled wom an. Across the desert, floets of mo tor busek streaked; regular peace time airplane service was main tained; and on new railway lines, trains drawn by oil-burning locomo tives were equipped with Pullman sleepers.

This fact was revealed by President Roosevelt when he announced that amount of goods and services fur nished the other United Nations last month increased one-third over any previous month. A record-breaking $915,000,000 worth of lend-lease was chalked up in thai period. This, the President indicated, should convince all that the Axis was wrong in assuming that our aid. to the United Nations would de crease once we began a strong of fensive action. Also, said the Presi dent, our lend-lease aid will not de crease in the future. Production schedules are aimed at supplying both the needs of military forces and many of the needs of the United Nations. Among items which did not show up in the cold figures of the report was news that before the U. S. air craft carrier Wasp was sunk, that ship had carried two priceless loads of British Spitfire fighting planes to Malta and that American engineers and soldiers are expanding the capacity of railroads taking supplies into Russia. The President pointed out that two-thirds of the goods were mili tary items, including large numbers of planes and tanks that helped turn the tide in Egypt and to hold the lines in Russia. DARLAN: Legal Authority? The status of the French fleet at Toulon appeared unchanged as the Vichy radio reported that a large number of French troops had ar rived to occupy the city. Although Adm. De La Borde, com mander of the Toulon naval squad ron, renewed his pledge of alle giance to Marshal Petain, crews were reported unable to leave theii ships, indicating Axis mistrust of the sailors. A Nazi broadcast said that “all strategically important points on the Mediterranean coast of south ern France are now protected by German and Italian arms." Adm. Jean Darlan and the Vichy government continued their bicker ing over which is the legitimate au thority in French North Africa. Dar lan, over the Morocco radio, pro claimed that his authority is legal because it came from Marshal Pe tain himself. He pointed out thai ADMIRAL DARLAN Takes North African reins. whatever the marshal might say now should not be heeded "because he (Petain) is unable to let the French people know his real thoughts. Darlan, in one of his first demon strations of power, appointed Gen Henry Giraud commander in chiei of French forces in the region. Vichy radio replied with an order attribut ed to Petain “prohibiting" French colonial troops from obeying Giraud Also it was stated that Giraud “broke his officer’s word and thus lost his honor. He received his sell conferred title of commander from a foreign power.” London dispatches said that the appointment of Darlan was unpopu lar there because he worked to as sist the enemies of Britain and America since the fall of France. Hqpe was expressed in some quar ters that Darlan’s assignment was only temporary. DOUBLE FEATURES: Dim Out? Meeting in New York city, the motion picture National Board ol Review passed a resolution recom mending theater owners suspend double features for the duration “as a saving of time, critical materials and manpower needed for winning the war." Previously, Lowell Melielt, chiei of the Office of War Information Bu reau of Motion Pictures, had op peered before the board asking foi the elimination of double features “The habit of sitting three or foul or even more hours, with one’s mind afloat in a fictional world, hardly equips the American population foi the serious job of dealing with real life. That way lies degeneration rather than growth. And we must grow. We must grow into a people competent to win this war," he suld. Mellett also said that his bureau is trying to help the American pub lic see what the war means to them. This is done through and with the co-operation of newsreel editors and with Hollywood producers of fea tures and shorts.
