CHAPTER XX-Continueil


Benning took off to the east in
late afternoon. He decided on
Boise as the point of vantage from
which to observe final developments
In the occupation Of the Pacific
coast. There he would find no diff
Guilty in making his daily wire re-
ports to Flagwill.
Enemy divisions had landed at the
mouth Of the Columbia River on the
Oregon coast, taken the antiquated
coast forts from the rear with a
few platoons Of infantry, and were
proceeding up the river toward Port
land. A submarine base was report
ed established at Tongue Point at
the mouth Of the Columbia.
Other invader divisions had land
ed on the undefended coast north
Of San Francisco and were march
ing into the Sacramento Valley. Van
Hassek's Guaymas motorized col
umns had taken Los Angeles and
were we'll north toward San Fran
cisco to effect junction with their
Oriental allies. BY tomorrow all
coast naval bases would be in the
hands of the enemy.

In the diplomatic pouch and was
shot here from Washington by air
courier, it may have some impor-
tance."
Benning slit the envelope open
with paper-knife. A message on
a single slip Of paper, which bore no
signature, read:
mon Capitaine, / presume you
may know already that M. Bravot
Ii in your country under masquer-
ade in the hope Of redeeming him
self in Van Hassek's favor"
Benning passed the note to Cen
eral Flagwill and said, with a
thoughtful smile: "That note from
our little French girl startles me,
sir. Rather a coincidence to re-
ceive this just when Bravot has been
on my mind today. I've had a
bunch the fellow might be around
somewhere"
Flagwill stood up and took from
the pocket of his coat a pair Of sill
yer oak leaves. He handed them to
Benning and said: Here's your new
insignia of rank, Colonel, with my
affectionate best wishes"
Shortly before nine o'clock, Ben
ming wound his way in Flagwill's
sedan through the endless troop con-
voys to the landing-feld. In his dis
patch case were the secret orders
that would put Holling's Fourth
Army into the attack. Four planes
were lined up at the field to carry
as many field-officer couriers with
orders that would put the group of
four field armies into action.
Benning's pilot, stiff and erect at
attention beside his fuselage, salut-
ed punctiliously. In his present pre-
occupation it was only Behring'S
long habit of sharp observation that
picked up the minor inconsistency
of pilot with goggles fixed over
his eyes before he climbed to the
cockpit.
AS Benning searched the pilot, he
saw the officers body stiffen. Ben
ning's hand drove to his holstered
service pistol as he picked out in
the moonlight his fellows profile.
The masquerader flashed into action
at the same instant. With swift,
even deliberation Benning leveled
his weapon and pressed the trigger.
Bravot sank to the ground. oh
Pilots and ground crew rushed
UP. Benning leaned over the fallen
man and stripped off the goggles.
Floodlights were switched on, hur-
ried search made for Captain
Trench, pilot of the plane. Trench's
body was found in the shadow of a
nearby hangar, a knife thrust
through his heart.
Benning hastily searched Bravot's
uniform. In a canvas dispatch case
he found cleverly counterfeited or
ders for prompt withdrawal of
three divisions from an important
salient in enemy lines east of Sac
ramento.
In the small hours Of the morning,
Benning's plane put him down at
Carson City. A military automo-
bile took him north around Lake Ia
hoe, thence west into the slopes Of
the Sierras.
Columns plodded on, silent shad-
ows in the night, an endless cara
van of men moving to the front.
Daybreak was close at hand when
he reached the Fourth Army's ad-
vance command post.
The army commander took the
dispatch from Benning, broke the
seal, and read with a visible tighten
ing Of jaws.

every good" he said. "This Is
just what I've been waiting for-my
army is itching to jump off,"
From the distance heavy artillery
grumbled at the dawn, its vibra-
tons tossed from mountain to noun
tain in dull, ominous monotone Of
sound.
+ In front Of them the invader held
the superiority of strength in the
present moment. But Van Hassek's
air force no longer commanded the
skies and his espionage system east
Of the Cascades and Rockies had
been snuffed out by firing squads.
Benning worked feverishly to ac-
quaint himself with the intimate de-
tails Of enemy strength, morale, and
dispositions. In Ave days million
men would be ready to attack, Be-
hind that mighty cavalcade Of
trained fighting men, another half
million were in the final stages of
seasoning for battle, and could be
pushed forward when the need for
them arrived.
The Fourth Army was shaping it.
self to attack to the south and west.
Whatever the cost, it was to push its
way past Sacramento and cut the
Van Hassek forces in twain. Stimuli
taneously the First, Second, and
Fifth Armies would press forward
with vigor that would prevent Van
Hassek from centering his reserves
against the Fourth. Upon the adj
vantages of the first few weeks of
action would depend the final
massed attacks that were aimed
to sweep the invader into the Pacific.
Dawn of the day Of attack came
with roar of artillery that shook
the skies down a three-hundred-mile
front. Old-timers vowed that not
even the Argonne Witnessed such
volcanic wrath of artillery. Light,
medium, and heavy artillery pound
ed the Van Hassek trenches for an
hour and in its wake came the in
fantry waves pushing relentlessly
ahead in the first red weller of the
tortuous miles to the sea.
On a day, after crimson weeks,
that Benning few in reconnaissance
over Sacramento, the first Ameri-
can waves were at last on the edge
of the city. A heavy pail of smoke
told that the invader had abandoned
the city in flames, indication that he
meant to hold farther to the west
rather than trust here to counter
attacks. That told Benning, too,
that the Van Hassek lines to the
north and south would be drawn
back.
Benning's pulse surged as he
viewed from the skies heavy enemy
columns marching to the west from
Sacramento to take up some new
strategic disposition. The spectacle
seemed to yitalizei Hague's prophe-
cy, bring nearer the day of fulfill
ment. ~ 80 la a s.
Dark months lay ahead; many,
many men yet must die, and the
country's stamina would be tested
to the last fiber of its strength. But
for Benning there were no doubts.
The dawn would come, that glorious
dawn of the day when he had vowed
for himself glorious adventure.
On that day he meant to wing his
way to the north again whence had
come those fierce shadows in the
fog. There he would see their sur
vivors as they melted back into the
Pacific before the mighty vengeance
of our massed valor.

STRAND

Men of Boys Town, long awaited sequel to the memorable Boys Town" opened e four day engage inent at Warmers Strand theater yesterday and was enthusiastically greeted by capacity audiences at ali performances.
 "Men of Boys Town" co-stars Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney, who are again seen In the roles that won them Academy Awards.
 Tracy again portrays Father Ed ward J. Flanagan and Rooney will be seen as Whitey Marsh, Mayor of Boys Town.
 The work of making good, respec- table citizens of homeless and un- wanted boys, to which Father Flana- gan has devoted his life, constantly produces new dramatic stories, which have been woven into another powerful and fascinating motion picture. It deals with the timely subject of Father Flanagans two- listed fight against brutality in cor- rective treatment of youth.
 Featured in the outstanding sup porting cast are Bobs Watson, again as the beloved Pee Wee; Larry Mum, who scored a hit as Judy darland's adolescent lover in Strike Up the Band" in the role of Ted Martley, boy murderer; seven-year-

STATE

Capacity attendance at Warner's State theater yesterday marked the opening performance of the hilari. ous laugh hit Topper Returns" with Joan Blondell, Roland Young and Billie Burke in principal roles and featuring such ftin-Fiakers as Patsy Kelly, Eddie (Rochester) An- derson and including Carole Landis, Dennis o'Keefe and Rafaela otti- ano.
 Roland Young and Billie Burke are back as CosFlo Topper and his fiuttery spouse, the roles they made famous in two previous hits, but if you want to see them at their best be sure to see Topper Re- turns.
 Briefly, the story of the new hit concerns the mysterious death of Gall Richards, played by Joan BIondell. Joan has the power to materialize and dematerialize at will, so she turns up to find her own murderer and to haunt the scene of the crime. This she does by vis- iting the Darlington mansion, lugubriotis- looking place, where many strange things go on. Joan, however, is no inotrnful spirit -- she is a ghost addicted to practical jokes and a liking for champagne.
 She manages to get plenty oi laughs out of being q ghost and to get her host Into Q series of hard -to-explain situations.
 Trooper Returns" adds up to c surc-fre hit because 1t has every- thing = c swell story, 6 good sense of l1umor and c fine cast and pro. duction and . s,iSpenSeful mystery
 Put it on your must" list and be sure to sec it before the closing performances Saturday evening.
 The second big hit of this pros gram Is Convoy" with large cast headed by Olive Brook. Convoy was actually filmed on British con- voys and Is replete with dynamic thrills and terrific action. Yester- days audiences saw a British con voy attacked in inld.ocean; a bat tie between e destroyer and a Nazi pocket-battleship and many other thrills.
