NAzI5 NEAR MAIk0p OIL
 FIELD5N NOW
Germans Claim Advance Within 30 Miles of
 Caucasus Riches
(By Associated Press)

Hitler's blood for oil' drive into the Caucasus has been slowed in two key sectors. according to Rus sian accounts received today.
 Soviet reports say that the Red Armies have beaten off repeated mass tank assaults and have mopped up fresh swarms of Nazi parachutists and plane transported troops behind the Soviet lines.
 Nazis Close In
 An entirely different version. however, came from German head quarters and declared that Von- Books Armies have captured three strategic towns and have advanced to a depth of d60 miles on the road toward the Caucasus oil treas ures.
 A bulletin from Hitler's head quarters asserted that Nazi troops are swarming across the Kuban River and have advanced to within 30 miles of the Maikop oil fields. The Maikop wells are important, but far less vital than the huge Baku Fields which lie across the towering Caucasus mountains, hun dreds of miles to the southeast.
 Have Endorsements
 The NaZi cOmmuniuue also aS- serted that Axis columns are ap- preaching Krasnodar, 150 miles southwest of Rostov on the rail line to the Black Sea.
 The arrival of Soviet reinforce ments for the critical struggle be- low the Don River was acknow- ledged by the German Command which said that the Russians are ter-attacking north of thn Sal River, apparently in the Kotelni- kovski, sector s5 miles soutn oi Stalingrad.

BY JACK sTINNETT

i, WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.- The Army has finally decided to un- leash the dogs of war.
 In this instance, we are once more several months or years be- hind the Nazis, who reportediy now are using more than 100000 dogs for supplementary sentry ser vice and other duties connected with prosecution of the war.
 Now comes the quartermaster corps to give full recognition to Dogs for Defense, Inc, an organi- zation of owners, breeders, train CTS and handlers, backed by some of the biggest kennel associations in the country.
 The idea is to supply the Army and Navy with thousands of dogs (about 2,000 have been supplied to date) trained to contribute sen- sitive nose, an extra pair of eyes and ears, and a canine sixth sense on sentry duty.
 If Rover is pure-bred dog (and he can be a she) between one and five years old, is sound of wind and limb, he's eligible for military duty. There are, of course, lot of ad- ditional IFS.
 He Cor she) must be of watch deg disposition. That is, the Army doesn't want any stranger-sniffers they have to be bankers or, at least, growlers. He mustn't be a one-man dog either, because the canine sentries might have a new master every time he's on duty. He must be able to work as well

WIFE HELD IN DEATH
 OF NATIVE
Coroner's Jury Declares She Fired Fatal Shot
 in Tragedy

A coroner's jury held today that William Watson, 41-year-old Peli- can City native whose body was brought to Juneau yesterday after noon, met death as result of a gunshot wound in the head, and that the gun was fired by his wife, Mary Watson, 43, alias Black Mary" She is being held in the Federal jail here pending further investigation in the case at the scene of the tragedy by FBI agents and Deputy United States Marshal Walter Hellan.
 According to the testimony of witnesses and officers during this mornings inquest before Coroner Felix Gray, the fatal shooting cli- maxed an all night drinking party in the three-room cabin in which the Watsons lived.
 Although Mrs. Watson did not testify at the hearing, officers questioned on the stand by U. $. Attorney William A. Holzheimer re ported that she had admJted lc them firing the 30-30 rifle which resulted in the death of her hus- band.
 Report Quarrel
 Witnesses who testified in ad- dition to officers were Nels H. Mork, Norman F. Nelsjon and Kalle Raatikainen. Mork and Nels- jon admitted attending a drinking party in the Watson cabin on the night of August 2, and reported quarrels between MT. and Mrs. Watson, during which he is said to have struck her several times, accusing her of drinking and sol- letting the advances of other men.
 Nelsjon stayed all night at the Watson home and Mork left early in the morning to return later in the day of August 3 with Watson who had reported to work and was sent home because he was not sober.

May Remove Bell At
Railroad Crossing

Following complaint of residents
in the area surrounding the Cherry
street crossing of the Nickel Plate
railroad, the Bluffton council at the
Monday night meeting gave permis-
sion to remove the signal bell from
the electrically operated automatic
alarm.
The fiashers will continue to op-
crate both day and night. Since a
watchman guards the crossing dur
ing the day time the removal of the
signal bell would not increase the
hazard, it was alleged.
Reason for the complaint of the
residents arises from continued ring
ing of the bell when freight cars
are being moved onto sidetracks dur
ing the night.
Fred Hofer, station agent for the
Nickel Plate, is taking the matter
up with the railroad officials. Their
approval would be necessary before
the removal of the bell could take
place.
