She goes on to say that she
forced herself to refrain from MAX
ing single catty remark over
the weekend. She didn't allow
herself TO become irritated, in
wardly or outwardly, when the
rest of the family wanted to see
a movie she didn't particularly
want to see.
When a neighbor dropped in
with a tale of woe about some
relative, she listened intently, in
stead of gazing off into space and
listening only now and then. She
refused to encourage that same
neighbor to gossip about a woman
who lives farther on down the
street.
She refused to feel sorry for
herself when her husband an
nounced that he probably would
not be able to take vacation this
year. She sympathized with him
instead of with herself.

LONDON. Dec. 25.-Christmas

between Great Britain and the

Although there was no official
confirmation of an Anglo-German
aerial truce over the holidays, no
bombs fell on Britain during the

Likewise. it was disclosed au-

LONDON, Dec. 25.-Comment-
ing on the lack of Nazi aerial
activity, the British Press Associa-
ton said today that Reichsfuehrer
Hitler was reported to have told
a newspaper correspondent a few
days ago:
I'VE won't fly on Christmas
II the British don't"
The press association also
pointed to the statement of an
other neutral journalist who said
the general opinion in Berlin was
that "Christmastide would be very
peaceful.
Nevertheless. no actual Christ
mas truce has been reached, the
press association said, charging
that in the past Germany has
frequently put out propaganda
statements implying there would
be no invasion at present. all of
which is making Britishers more
certain that the Nazis have some
thing up their collective sleeve
which may break momentarily."
Britain's defense forces have
been kept at peak strength, the
news service said. and are ready
to counter any possible move.
Army, navy and Raj leaves
have been granted for Christmas
only to those who ordinarily
would have been entitled to leave
during this time of the month. Z

Would Cease
Raids Today,
Tomorrow
International News Service Wire


WASHINGTON. Dec. 25.-Ger-
many has offered Great Britain
a two-day truce over Christmas.
the German embassy disclosed
today.
First secretary of the embassy
Herr Herbert Won Strempel said
that the German air force will re-
frain from bombing England today
and tomorrow, provid e d Raj
flyers agree not to bomb Nazi
territory.
Won Strempel said he was
informed of the d decision in a
communication from the Wilhelm
strasse in Berlin. The secretary
said it was his understanding that
the offer hinged not only on ces-
sation of British, bombardment in
Germany, but also in all Nazi-
occupied territory, including the
channel invasion ports"
NAZI RUSE SUSPECTED
While some Washington OBJ
servers specialized as to whether
this might be just a German ruse
to have the British unprepared for
a thrust across the channel, Won
Strempel said that it would seem
that the action prevents
threatened holiday invasion of the
British Isles.
The German diplomat said he
could not withhold news of the
German communication because it
was in the nature of Christmas
Ipresent to Americans with a hu-
manitarian viewpoint"
He would not disclose the source
of the communication, but said
that the truce report is undeni-
ahly true" and that it came from
'the highest German sources"
Despite the fact that both Ger
many and England previously
spurned a truce over the Yule-
tide, it had been rumored, both in
the United States and abroad,
that the nations would reach an
agreement to end aerial hostilities
over the holidays.
The British embassy would not
comment on the reported truce
plan.

RETREAT FROM CHIMARA

While the Greek warriors made
surprisingly deep advances across
the snow-covered terrain in the
north. Italian forces in the coastal
sector continued their retreat
from the fallen base of Chimara.
Military observers in the capital
believed the Fascist forces might
dig in for a last stand in the Lo-
CARA Straits before retreating to
Valona.
Advices from the battlefront
said Valona had been fortified
heavily during the last few weeks.
in anticipation of a last-ditch
battle.
After violent fighting. Greek
forces broke through crack regi-
ments of Italian Alpine troops
west Of Chimara.
~ Already, the main forces of the
Greek coastal army have sprayed
out 15~miles from Chimara, whose
capture was announced yesterday.
Reports from the central front
said that after heavy fighting
Greek forces took the most impor-
tant positions north of Tepelini,
where the Italian defense line was
said to be collapsing.
