a 1 i [ontmgrwiir^jPBicHWBoj i Unseen Army Washington, July 14.?An unseen army of brave meu and women Is en* gaged in the desperate and danger ouh business of protecting our country on tho rtiyslerious battlefields of espionage and counter-espionage from which are Issued few news reports. Its exploits often aro fantastic nnd start ling and are aa important to vle* tory as military triumphs, but we must bo content to know little of them as long as the war lasts. Americans generally will approve heartily of the speed with which the eight German agents, apprehended after they had been landed on our coast from enemy submarines, were brought to trial before a coin mission of 1'. 8. Army officers in Washington. If they had been permitted to make their way into our country they might have caused much damage. A total of more than 1,200 persons have been convicted by the civil courts on charges of subversive and disloyal activities since Pearl Harbor, according to the Attorney General's office. Student Help In an effort to aid In tlie education of engineering and medical students, a fund of $5,000,000 will be made uvailable for student loans by the government. The armed services are allowing the continuance of some essential studies, but the speeded up education program has in some instances left boys no time to work and earn their way. The loans Irom the fund will be made dlre-ctly through colleges, universities, or public or college-connect- ; ed agencies and will not exceed the amount of the needed tuition and fees j | plus $25 r month. Not more than $500 | ] will go to any one student during any!' 12-month period. '1 Students receiving the loans will , make notes payable to the I'nlted States treasury at an Interest rate of two and one-half per cent, and repayments will he made through the agencies negotiating the loaus. These i IMC VA agencies will in turn refund the |)ou*y to the treasury. No decision bas been reached yel ah tu the length of time the noteH will run. The Indebtedness of a student will he cancelled If before hp complete* hi* course lie I* ordered into military service under the Selective System or If he suffers tolul and permanent disability. German* Te?ted The battle now raging on tiie Ikm river probably is the supreme teat of the German army's ability to push ahead In Itussia tills summer. The Germans claimed lust year that they could annihilate "the Red army, but tlieir Iwiasts were belittled by the hard fighting Soviets. Now' the Nazis don't talk of annihiiation but are striving desperately to posh ahead against the stubborn and mugnlAcient Russian defense. Extra Sugar The extra sugar provided to the rationed American people is accounted for by the courage of American seamen who have brought more cargoes through enemy-Infested seas than had been counted on. Hut the office of Trice Administration has warned that there is no assurance that the extra ration will be repeated. With American shipping facing such perils us enemy submarine activities and mine-sowing. nobody knows whether we will bring in sufficient sugar to maintain the ration levels in 1943.
