LONDON, Nov. II. (UP)-The all
ministry SAID today that the Royal
Air Force delivered a smashing at
tack last night on the railroad
functions of Danzig-the Baltic
seaport where Germany'S Foreign
Minister Joachim Won Ribbentror
is scheduled to meet the train of
Soviet Premier V. M. Molotov to-
morrow.
The attack was concentrated, the
air ministry said, on Danzigs rail-
way facilities-presumably those to
be used by the train bearing Molo-
tov from Soviet Russia.
According to reports of Molo-
tovs plans, Ribbentrop was Schcd-
uled to meet the Russian premier
at Danzig and escort him by air.
plane to Berlin for his conferences
with Adolf Hitler.
The attack was the first which
the RAF had ever made on the dis
tant port-25O miles further to the
northwest than Berlin-and involv-
ing a round trip bombing flight of
1900 miles from British bases.
The air ministry said that the
attack on Danzig was one in an
extensive series in which the IA
niliar oil refinery, transport. facili
ties and arms works at Mannheim,
Essen and Gelsenkirchen were also
bombed.

the end of the World War, the
Germans were back over London
again. The city had planned nc

ROME, Nov. 10. (UP)-Italian
planes "intensively bombed a Brit
ish naval formation in the central
Mediterranean and scored hits Oh
two cruisers in waters off the
island of Crete, the official COM
munique said today.
The communique indicated wide
spread Italian aerial activity
throughout the Mediterranean and
African war areas. Successful Ital-
ian raids on Alexandria, Malta, the
Cairo airdrome, Ismailia on the
Suez canal, and in the Gallabat
sector were claimed.

Greeks Dispense
Attacking Troops

ATHENS. Greece. Nov II. CUP)
Aided by British borab'ng planes
which assailed Italian concentra-
tions and supply lines, Greek troops,
on the offensive in the Kalama5
valley and Pindus mountain Sec
tors. have dispersed large bodies
of italian troops, reports from the
front said today.
Reliable quarters said that all
Italian lost division" in the Pindus
had been annihilated, leaving the
italian southern sector, in the Kala-
mas valley, exposed to flank attack
from the west. The italians were
said to have retreated down the
valley after two of their battalions
had been dispersed. Greeks were
reported to have captured mortars,
machine guns and other equipment.
| A Greek communique today said
that the italian third Alpine divi-
sion had been shattered, that many
were killed, wounded or taken pris-
oner and that the survivors had
swept their reserves before them in
headlong retreat, with Greeks pur-
suing them.
/ Thus the Alpiners completely
failed in their assignment of cut
ting the road from Epirus to Thes-
sally" the communique said.
Meanwhile. British bombers, CO.
operating with Greek ground forces,
were reported to have raided Ital-
ian embarkation points and other
Albanian ports, as well as troop
concentrations and supply roads
! behind the Italian lines.
italian prisoners were quoted that
communications at the Italian rear
were in bad shape and that the
high command was having diff
Guilty in keeping in contact with
the far-flung units.
A hundred more Italian prisoners
have arrived at Salonica and home
were quoted that anti-war agitation
was growing among the italian pub
lie, with Crown Prince Umberto
among those who have been out
spoken in criticizing the strategical
error of the war in Greece.
Prisoners were said to include
men fom five Italian divisions
the Centaur, Parma, Ferrara, Julia
and Venitza.
cat Budapest, the Greek radio
was heard broadcasting that Greek
troops in the Pindus mountains
had advanced Sunday in rain,
using hand grenades in close fight

Governor Resigns

SHANGHAI, Nov. II. UP)-A
Domei (Japanese) news agency dis
patch from Hanoi tonight said that
Admiral Jean De CouX, governor
of French ndo-China. had re-
signed.
The Domei dispatch said 1t was
believed that De Coux resigned be-
cause of difficulties created by
strong sentiment in Saigon fer
the Free France" movement head
ed by Gen. Charles De Gaulle.
The Japanese recently have re-
ported pro-British and Anti-Japa-
nese sentiment in the southern part
Of French Indo-Chinp, arousing
fear in some neutral quarters here
that they were planning to move
INTO that area en- the grounds
that order must be restored. Japan
previously occupied bases in north
ern Indo-China.

World in Makinq'
Forecast by Nazis
As Farley Nears

BERLIN, NOV. II. CUP)-Progress
toward reorganization of the en-
tire world was forecast by the Nazi
press today in comment on the
arrival tomorrow of Soviet Premier
Viacheslav Molotov for conferences
with German leaders, including the
Nazi ambassador to Turkey.
Official quarters remained silent
on the Molotov visit, declining to
say whether the presence of a
large party of foreign affairs and
economic experts in the Soviet en-
tourage meant that a new treaty
might be concluced.
1t appeared, however, that Franz
Won Papen, the Nazi ambassador
to Turkey, would remain here until
the end of the week and play an
important role in the talks before
he returns to Ankara. CThere have
been persistent reports outside Ger
many that Adolf Hitler might be
trying to get Russia to bring pres
sure on Turkey to cease opposition
or to remain neutral toward the
Axis thrust into the Balkans and
the eastern Mediterranean against
the British empire.)
Great emphasis was placed on
the Molotov visit to Germany as
climax to Hitlers diplomatic con-
ferences with the heads of the
French and Spanish states as well
as with Italian Premier Benito
Mussolini in an effort to reorganize
all OF Europe against Britain.
On Rome, the Fascist press and
official sources said that Molotov's
visit to Germany would be of great
est Importance and would demon
strate that Russia's interests are
with the Axis and against Britain.)
1t was said that upon Molotov's
arrival in Berlin he might receive
the foreign diplomatic corps. He
may remain here two or three days.
Political circles said it was be-
lieved that Germany would advise
all of the friends of the Axis
powers of details of the conversa-
tions here and of the results to be
expected soon.

that Gen. Charles De Gaulles free
French forces had captured Libre-

Equltorial Africa, and that the
city's surrender meant the end of
support of the Vichy government
in that region.
Earlier in Leopoldville, Belgian
Congo, radio had reported Libre-

when a specialist should be con-
suited.
Perhaps the latest specially is
that of Sclerotherapy. "Sclero"
means hardening and "therapy"
means treatment, so sclerotherapy
is treating various ailments by US
ing hardening substances which
harden or destroy the unwanted or
imperfect tissues. This method of
treatment was discredited years ago
principally because of the fact that
the hardening substances were at
fault.
Conditions Which Can Be Helped.
DR.. H. I. Biegeleisen, in Clinical
Medicine and Surgery, gives an out
line of the various conditions of the
body which can now be helped by
the skillful surgeon or physician who
has given sclerotherapy close study.
These conditions are:
/. Disorders of the veins: vari-
cose veins, varicocele, piles or hem
orrhoids, vein tumors.
2. Disorders of the arteries. En-
larged arteries such as aneurysms.
3. Cystic (bladder) engagements:
hydrocele, bursitis-bag of water at
the joint-knee, elbow, shoulder.
4. Ruptures or hernias.
5. Growth-warts.
6. Miscellaneous: assures or little
cuts, goiter, enlarged turbinates in
nose, joints with too much motion.

led and will come back to their
senses one of these days. Dictators
will die and peace will be re-estab-
ished on firmer ground and after
the darkness of this temporary fury,
we will see the dim beauty that
means new dawn.
Well, you may not fully believe her
but what tonic she is! In spite OF
yourself you find yourself more hope
full; and when you quote her at home
everyone else partakes of the same
hope.
Civilization Will Survive.
And why not? She is at least as
reasonable as the fearful and dismal
prophets who see nothing but gloom
ahead. For all wars HAVE ended,
and although Napoleon and Crom-
well and many others were all sup
posed to destroy civilization in their
day, and wipe great nations from
the face of the earth, somehow they
never did. Sanity crept back again,
schools reopened, fields were sown;
mourning and poverty held sway for
awhile, and then the spring came
back, and with it lovers and ilacs
and new plans.
After the war the world is going
to need everything that we can give
it of help and service. They are
going to need food, over there,
clothes, bedding, medicine, tools.
We have to be ready with all that,
and the only way we can give it is
to get our own house in order.
Solve Americas problems; lessen
the need for relief; lessen unemploy-
ment; replace un-American plots
and "isms" with a good healthy re-
vival of the spirit that created the
Declaration of Independence.
And that has to begin with individ-
ual homes like yours and mine.
Homes free of debt and disorder, of
complaining and discomfort. One
million such homes, scattered all
over the continent, would be the be-
ginnings of a new America. Ten
million would make us the strongest,
happiest, richest, most independent
nation on the earth.
Put Own House in Order.
So do your share by establishing
one small unit of perfection. A
home in which a man and woman
love each other and their children.
A home with a clean, warm kitchen,
and little garden, and telephone
and radio and gas stove and an
electric refrigerator. A home to
which outsiders look with admira-
ton and envy. A home with books
in it, and winter fires, and laugh
ter, and flag, and pleasant voices.
One small oasis of perfection in
turbulent and troubled world. For
it is only when we get many such
tiny solved individual problems that
we can hope to solve the bigger ones.
Too few women-honestly eager to
do their part in great national crises,
forget that those crises are caused
and brought on by the inefficieney
and ignorance and discomfort Of
millions of apparently unimportant
citizens who won't live the day for
the day, and the hour for the hour,
and make perfect those things they
do control and so lift from the world
just one more fraction Of its age-olu
pain.

veloped starchless potatoes. The tu-

are "topatoes," offspring of grated
potato and tomato plants. The SLIM

plants like ordinary potatoes; also
produce tomatoes on the bushy tops.
They feed on magnesium sulphate
