Russia on the run and this week
Italy is suffering a disastrous re-
treat. On the west the allies are
making small gains, but there is
no prospect of Germany giving up
the fight so long as she ,isllraakiRg

the last two weeks.
Prominent speakers are touring
the county this week addressing
the people on the subject of the

the people understand the purpose
of this campaign the pledge cards
