Germany Surges Deep Into Soviet Ukraine
General War Report Bristles With News of Japan But Russia, Germany Are Furnishing Real
 Strife of Present Struggle

Japan stepped up war prepara- tions in the Pacific today in line with the surge of German armed forces into the Russian Ukraine.
 Military operations supplemented by the bombing of Berlin and Mos COW continued at furious pace on the man battlefieldS from Lenin- grad to the Black Sea, with the German high command claiming rapid" advances in pursuit of the Red army in the south Ukraine.
 Despite Berlin claims that the Nazis were mot far from the Black Sea coast" in their drive on Odessa they still were facing furious Red army resistance and claimed nc definite progress on other fronts.
 The repercussions of the gains to- ward the rich grain, oil and mineral lands of the Black Sea were being felt, however, in sectors far from the fighting front and especially in increased tension in the Pacific area, where Japan invoked sections of the general mobilization act de- signed to put the nations economy on a full war footing.
 The Japanese, seeking to take full advantage of the German war against the Soviet Union, stepped up their efforts in the Pacific war

BRITISH QUEEN
 THANKS AMERICA
Sincere Gratitude to Amer ican Women For Their
 Aid to Britain

London, Aug. 11.-CUP)-Queen Elizabeth, in her first radio broad cast to the United States since the war began, said yesterday that American generosity to Britain was born of your conviction that we fight to save a cause that is yours no less than ours"
 "The sympathy which inspires il springs not only from our common speech and the traditions which we share with you but even more from our common ideals" she said ''Tc you, tyranny is as hateful as 1t is to us; to you, the things for which we will fight to the death are nc less sacred, and to my mind, at any rate, your generosity is born of youl conviction that we fight to save g cause that is yours no less thar ours, of your high resolve that however great the cost and however long the struggle, justice and free dom, human dignity and kindness shall not perish from the earth.
 Near the end of the seven-minute speech, the queen expressed deer and sincere" gratitude to American women.
 'aTo us, in the time of our tribu. lation, you surely have shown that compassion which has been for 2.00t years the mark of the good neigh bor," she said. T look to the day when we shall go forward hand 1T hand to build better, kinder, hap. pier world for our children.
 May God bless you all"

GASOLINE PRICE
 WAR IS EXPECTED
Station Curfew Worked Serious Hardships To
 Some Companies

Outbreak of a price war as @ re- suit of the gasoline station curfew was feared by dealers today as the second week of operation of the 2 p. m. deadline got underway. Some stations have already begun to slash prices in an effort to make up for business lost because of the cur few, and others may be forced to follow suit.
 Reductions in effect this morning ranged from a half-cent to more than two cents. Operators who made the reductions effective said that they were seeking to attract trade to make up for business lost be- tween the hours of 2 p. m, and II p. m., when they normally close.
 George F. Gaughan, secretary of the Waterbury Gasoline Dealers association, says that daytime sales have levelled off after boom dur ing the first few days of the cur- few, and expresses the fear that some stations may be forced out of business.
 Operators reported that business yesterday was far below that of the previous Sunday, the first day that the curfew was made effective in an effort to reduce gasoline con- sumption. Sales continued high early last week, but began to level of as the end of the week ap- preached.

 Though the locality is not we'll lighted, the coroner asserted, the officer was plainly visible, yet Grif- fin did not sound his horn or ap- ply his brakes. He charged that Griffin did not halt after the acci- dent and that his car was not stopped until it had reached Wn- low street, over 200 feet away.
