new battle of the MeuSC where
German forces have won a danger

A furious German attack WAS eN-

the Germans gained after crossing

the Maginot Notifications.
The Sedan battle at the moment
was the danger point of the 200 mile
battlefront that runs from the baS
ton OF Antwerp, Belgium. down
through Louvain, to the Meuse and
on to the Maginot line itself as
far as Longwy at the LuXembour2
corner.
1t was reported here that scores
of divisions have already joined
battle or are moving up rapidly to
reinforce the battered troops at the
front line,
"A division comprises about $4,000
men. The French reference to
scores of divisions" would indicate
that possibly 100000 men or more

All night long the French rushed
I'D new forces to the threatened
positions at Sedan. In the air both
French and British bombers were
pounding with uninterrupted Vlgor
against the pontoon bridges which
the Germans had placed across the
MeuSe.
Other squadrons of bombers and
fighters struck at a German column
which was observed moving toward
Sedan. To the north along the
fighting line running into Belgium
the Allied troops were resisting stub
bornly. trying to slow down the
smashing drive of the German
armored columns.
But the crisis of the moment was
at Sedan. the historic spot where
the Germans defeated the French
and won the war of 1870. A real
break through there of the Maginot
line would enable the Germans TO
strike for the heart of France, at

A French spokesman SAID the
Germans had established a bridge

Sedan. but that the French had
reduced its size in a COuntHr-attack

Governor Stassen polled more votes
in Minnesota than did President Roose-
welt and yet the state is in the Demo-
cratic column. The governors vote,
with only few precincts missing &C
cording to figures given out on Satur-
day, was 641,2 $50 while that of Presi-
dent Roosevelt was 628,739 in the
state. This has not happened since
1916 when Burnquist was elected gov
ernor and got more votes than Hughes
the Republican presidential nominee.
The Stassen vote also is the biggest
plurality ever given a second-term
governor. In 1882, Floyd Olson set a
record of $4,000 but the governor is
expected to have close to 100000.

Roast Your Turkey
the Modern Way.

A moderate oven, shallow, uncovered
pan, and rack are the only proper
ties needed for success in roasting
young turkey the modern way, says
Lucy Alexander, poultry cooking spe-
cialist of the Bureau of Home Econo-
mics, U. S. Department of Agriculture
Miss Alexander advises roasting
young turkey in an uncovered pan,
because then any steam that is formed
in cooking is not closed in the rooster
to draw the juices. There needs to
be rack in the pan to keep the bird
from sticking and to allow the hot air
to circulate under the turkey, and
cook it evenly.
| Any pan is suitable for roasting if it
is shallow and if it is big enough for
| the turkey A shallow pan works best
because in it the air circulates under
the bird more rapidly than in a deep
pan. To keep the meat juice, do not
add water in cooking to form extra
steam. Keep the oven temperature
moderate all through the roasting SC
the turkey will be tender and evenly
cooked when done.
