NaziS Retreat
Before Russian
COunter-AttaCk
lBXAssociated Pressl

For the first time, since their
march of aggression over the map
OF Europe, German troops were re-
ported this week as forced to re-
treat
Dispatches from Russia say the
Red Army.s counter drive on the
central front threw Eazi troops back
twelve miles in the last tWenty-four
hours and at some points even fur
Their. The smashing blow to Hitler's
crack German troops spread also
to the north front where. the Rus
sian High Command said, a German
Finnish attempt to cut the Lenin-
grad-Murmansk railroad was repul.
sed
The Russian war map showed a
front of some 400 miles along which
Red Troops held the initiative from
Gome1 to Yelnya and thence to Vel
Ike Luki. Stains soldiers were said
TO be successfully counter-attack-
ing at Leningrad and KieY and ap-
proaches to these cities were des-
cribed as "carpeted with German
dead"
Meanwhile, Germany claims to
have showered Leningrad with pam
phlets urging its civilians not to at
tempt further defense Of the city
The pamphlets asked whether its
citizens wished Leningrad to be ia
ken fairly intact or as a heap of
debris. They added I'VE are in a
position to inflict much heavier
punishment ON Leningrad but are
Withholding our full might to give
citizens a chance to reconsider de-
Tense tactics" They also empha
sized that if civilians resist the Ger
man army they must be regarded as
enemies and treated accordingly.
President Roosevelt's stirring mes
sage of Thursday evening to the
world brought sharp retort from
Italy's Mussolini The Italian Prime
Minister said, in effect, it would be
Italian and German vessels and sub
marines which would shoot first"
rather than American vessels which
Roosevelt ordered in his message,
to open fire on any Axis ships seen in
waters which guard the defense of
the western hemisphere.
Germany made no comment on the
Presidents speech in issuing state
ments. Hitler's only answer was to-
intensity her submarine warfare on
British shipping. Twenty-Five mer-
chant ships were reported sunk in
the English Channel TODAY
The Raj made a raid on northern
Italy, the first since last winter,
leaving a wake of flames and des
truction. Two persons were reported
killed and several injured at Turin
and new thrusts were made by the
British in the Mediterranean and
in Africa.

That Canada is perhaps a leap
ahead of the U. S. in trusting her
finances to canny Scots is evidenced
in the fact that, it is reported, ap-
propriations made are only a little
more than half used up aid most
projects are nearly completed.

MAN SAVES BEARS

Ed Isler, Manager of Wran-
CELL Drug knows about bears.
At any rate, he knows enough
about them to never chal-
lenge their right to certain
areas.
Pharmacist Isler with Harry
Williams, Vern Cool, Kenny
Dolan and Virgil Neyman
went up river on a combina-
tion hunting and fishing eX-
cursion. The trip was note
worthy for one reason. 1t
demonstrated beyond any
shadow of doubt that Ed Isler
is one of Wrangell's leading
game canservationists. The
proof came when Ed wander
ed off by himself and bump
ed into three grim looking
grizzly bears headed his way.
Some other fellow might have
destroyed these bears but
not Ed. Turning on his heel
he conserved three bears in
ten seconds flat, that being
the approximate time requir-
ed by Ed for getting from

FDR Issues
UltimatiOn To
Axis Powers
=(By# Associated Pre8s)


ANY German of Italian vessels en-
tering restricted American waters
henceforth will do SO at their own
risk. Meanwhile the Z. S. Navy viii
protect American ships as well as
any other vessels of nations carry
ing on legitimate trade within such
zones. The Atlantic will be kept op-
en- as a free and friendly highway.
This was the ultimatum issued last
night by President Roosevelt as
Commander-in-Ch of the Navy, in
an International broadcast from the
White House.
U. S. warships and war planes
will no longer wait for the Maxi to
strike first but viii Immediately
and nov" rid the Atlantic of raiders
and submarines which attack Am
erican commerce, the President de
clared, in comparing the Nazi sub
marines in the Atlantic with rattle
snakes which you crush before
they strike"
In pledging the Z. S. Navy to
keep open the trade lanes of the
he was doing his unacceptable duty
of carrying out the American poll
cy of guaranteed freedom of the
seas just as did Presidents Adams
and Jefferson at the inception Of
the nation.
Plunging into his two-fisted adj
dress without perfunctory words,
the President recited the case of
the U. S. destroyer Greer being fired
on by a German submarine off Ice
land The destroyer at the time was
on a defense mission of the United
States in waters which must be kept
open for the defense of the Western
Hemisphere, he said. There is no
doubt that the submarine fired
first, the President declared, we'll
knowing it was an American vessel.
The act was indiseriminate viola
ton of international law and AM
outright act of piracy, he said. The
President recalled the sinking of theI
American vessel Robin Moor in theI
South Atlantic by German raider
and the sinking of the AmericanI
ship Steel Seafarer this week in theI
Red Sea, and pointed to them asI
proof of Nazi designs to abolish
freedom of the seas by terror and
murder.
The Nazis have declared on paper
restricted zones the Chief Executive
said. and these restricted zones areI
only a camOuflage to the GermanI
n a
which includes the Western Hemis-
phere. The President accused the,
Nazis of carrying out conspiracy af-
Ter conspiracy in an effort to gain
a foothold in South America, the
most recent example being the dis
covery of German secret air bases
In that region.
The unrestricted submarine war
fare of 1871, the President said, is
an act of war against the United
States and the Western Hemisphere
and will be accepted as such.
ITO be successful Hitler knows he
must control the seas" Mr.. Roose-
wipe out our patrols and the British
navy"
The time for note writing is past,
the Chief Executive emphasized, as it
is of mo value in meeting these
outlaws" but America will preserve
freedom for shipping ON the high
seas; 1--WE will keep open the lanes
of commerce for shipping at any
cost"
Striking at appeasers, the Presi-
dent declared this as no time for
"wishful soliloquy" as the Germans
have no respect for International law
or neutral nations and must be ell
minated before they eliminate us.

Elimination OF Three
Traps Asked Here
AT Fisheries Hearing

Elimination of the Colpoys trap
and two traps near Port Protection
and greater flexibility of regulations
with wider spread of authority tO
men in the field TO meet conditions
in various districts quickly were the
principal recommendations made by
local fishing interests at the fish
eries hearing held here this morning
by DR.. Ira Gabrielson, chief of the
Fish and Wildlife Service, who was
accompanied by Seton Thompson oil
the Fisheries Division, Clarence OIL
son. fisheries supervisor in Alaska,

lite representative.
Colpoys Trap
Petition signed by a large num-
Der of the residents of the eommun-
ity was presented at the hearing by
Mayor L. j. Wheeler asking for the
elimination of Colpoys trap as detri-
mental to the fishermen of this com
munity. w. G. Wies, representing
the seiners, asked the fisheries OIL
ficials to give careful study to the
Colpoys trap as we'll as to the Two
at Port Protection. He said a brief
would be filed later by the seiners
in connection with the matter. In
this connection, Dr. Gabrielson ask
ed that all briefs be submitted by
December 1 as it was hoped to get
out the regulations this year by
January l.
Fred Gunderson, trap owner, sug
gested extension of the season IN
the eastern Prince of Wales, straits
district, five days at each end oil
the season as a means to building
up the inside run.
Brueger Urges FIexibility
A. K. Brueger, major Wrangell
packer, urged a greater fleXibility
so that more authority could be
vested in the field agents. He point
ed out that in many instances in
past years long delays ensued after
recommendation was made for OPP
ening or closing a district, depend
ing on the run, due to getting an
ok. from Washington. Similar sug-
gestion was made by ". c. Arnold,
representing the canned salmon IN
dustry.
Field men, Arnold pointed out, OBJ
serving the run as it develops are
in better position to act and should
have more latitude in making deeis-
ions.
Others appearing before the meet
ing on salmon problems We're Roy
Peterson and Lee Ellis. Peterson
asked that markers be changed at
the mouth of Stikine to allow the
fishermen better opportunity to get
at the fish. Due to tides it is almost
impossible to keep in the fishing
area without drifting into restricted
zones, he said. His statement was
corroborated by Ellis.
Urges Shrimp Closing
George Sumption of the Reliance
Shrimp Company urged a shorten
ing of the shrimp season due to the
large number of boats being put
into shrimping. He urged at lea
another two weeks closed period il
addition to the six weeks now IL
effect.
