Griffin declared that most of the

tween mid-December and the
end of January and that it would
be "almost impossible to nego-
tiate new contrae S l. the order

made effective as of Oct. %.
No minimum wage rates were
established by he order, which
the WLB said was designed to
prevent labor pirating. The
maximum rate would not affect
workers now getting more than
SITS, but would prevent rails

hiring new employees above it.
Griffin also assailed last

it a violation of constitutional

Urge Early
YuIe MAILING
Lethorsy Will
DeIoy Deliveries

Some of the public-but not
enough-are needing the warn.
ings of the Post Office Depart
ment that Christmas gifts must
be mailed this year earlier than
ever before, If reports from sew
en- of the largest post offices in
the United States prove to be
typical. Six of these offices,
queried on Christmas mailings,
reported that gift parcels had
started moving through the
mails from 10 to II days earlier
than in previous years. The sew
ent.l reported some rise in par
eel post but no broad gain in
Christmas mailings. Christmas
cards-one of the most difficult
problems because of the public's
habit of mailing them in last
minute deluge-also have start
ed to move, but in only small
numbers.
But, postal officials warn, the
early mailings are not yet in suf-
ficient volume to prevent delay
in deliveries of gifts until after
Christmas unless mailings are
increased sharply at once, and
practically completed by tomor-
row, Dec. Is. Wartime burdens
on transportation and on the
postal service make it essential
that the peak of mailings be far
earlier than in normal times.
Postmaster General Frank c.
Walker, who has held repeated
conferences with high officials
of his Department on the
Christmas mail problem, again
called attention to the absolute
necessity of public cooperation.
"My Department is handling a
Variety of big wartime tasks, in
addition to the distribution of
civilian mail" he said. 1--WE ham
die a vast amount of Army and
Navy mail within this country
until it reaches military and ma
val stations or embarkation
ports, where it is taken over for
delivery by the Army and Navy.
We write many millions of dol
dars' worth of war bonds, sell
immense numbers of w a
stamps, handle huge volume OF
official CO rrespondence an d
printed matter. Our service is
burdened with war work and so
is the transportation system that
carries the mails.
There has never been a time
in the history of the postal serv-
ice when there was more neceS-
sity for the public to mail par
cells and cards early if delivery
is to ,be made by Christmas.
A factor now complicatine
the postal problem is the vast
movement of population caused
By the rapid development of wal
industries in many cities. Unof.
fetal estimates indicate that
some fair-sized cities have al
most doubled in population. De-
troit has grown about $4,000
since May, 1910, according to
the Census Bureau: Washington
has grown 231, 900; Chicago
$4,000; Los Angeles, 13l 900
and other centers of war activ'
ity proportionately. In each o.
these cities there is now the
equivalent Of another large city
requiring postal service, ano
gifts are being mailed to many
hundreds of thousansd of these
persons who are away IRON
home.

Stuart Green
Qualities for
Gem Society

Announcement was made to-
day that Stuart A. Green, of the
M. L. Green & Son jewelry firm
of this city, has qualified as a
Registered Jeweler of the Amer
lean Gem Society. The an
nouncement was made by Dor
othy Phebus, executive secretary
of the society.
To obtain this title it is neces-
sary to take the courses of the
American Gem Society or to
pass an examination showing an
equivalent amount of know
ledge. AS student of ge-1olOgy,
Green will have many items of
Importance concerning the trade
to announce to the public. The
Genealogical Movement came to
America from England and has
as its purpose the creation of a
deeper appreciation of diamonds
and other gem stones.
To give the jeweler means
of publicizing his ability, there
have been set up three definite
steps of accomplishment, each
of which is of value to the Jew
eler in advertising. The value OF
education of the public through
advertising is stressed through
out the course with the student
of the American Gem Society.
The jewellers throughout Am
erica and other nations who have
realized the value to themselves
and their customers of an actual
knowledge of the gems they
handle, have caught the vision
of the first real meaning OF an
increase of business through
publicizing their superior know
ledge and growing value to their
community.

BY the Associated Press
CAIRO, Dec. IA - (P) - The
British 9th Army has thrown
Marshal Rommels Africa Corps
out of its strongly-fortified FL
Agheila line and "the enemy is
retreating westward, relent-
lessly pursued by leading ele-
ments of our forces" British
middle east Headquarters an
nounced today.
Resuming its Libyan drive
after a three-week lull, the 9th
Army drove straight into Rom
mels northern flank yesterday
at Ell Brega, on the approaches
to the 4O-mile Ell Agheila defile,
and the British war bulletin said
the enemy was put to flight at
little cost" to General Mont
gomery's attacking units.
BLAST GERMANS
allied ter-bombers, OPP
Grating on an unprecedented
scale, were employed to harass
the enemy" the communicate
asserted. Axis air activity was
totally ineffective in preventing
these operations. In a few in
stances when German fighters
attempted to interfere they
were successfully engaged and
at least six aircraft were shot
down."
military quarters in London
expressed the opinion Rommel
fell back without really making
the stubborn fight which had
been expected since he pulled up
in Ell Agheilas natural defenses
after retreating more than 700
miles across North Africa from
Ell Alamein in Egypt
The official announcement
that the Africa corps was re-
treating westward toward Trip
oil, its main Libyan base, was
interpreted as clearly indicating
the 9th Army had gone through
Rommel's main fortified posi-
tons between the Gulf of Sirte
and the salt sinks to the south.
The irregular Axis line ran
from Ell Brega, on the coast east
of Ell Agheila, 20 miles southeast
to Bellalal, thence 40 miles
southwest to a point 80 miles
due south of Ell Agheila and
then another 40 miles due south
to Marada.
AVOIDS DISASTER
military informants in Lon
don said it was probable that
Rommel came to the conclusion
he was in for a beating if he
stayed at Ell Agheila, so he just
pulled out to head off certain
This is the first time in this
war that great German army
has found itself faced by equal
forces, and what happens?" One
military source commented
The German Army pulls out
without fight"
ct is difficult at this stage to
predict how far Rommel would
retreat before making real
stand, said this informant, who
could not be quoted by name.)
Rommel quite the most defen-
sible position left to him east OF
Tripoli, it was pointed out, and
it was likely that the Germans
and Italians would fight strong
rearguard action until they get
to that port.
Although both these ports
were Uttered with wrecks OF
Axis ships, military sources saio
there was evidence that they
we're in operation Immediately
after the British moved in, with
1.-The navy unloading stuff al.
most before the last Germans
got out"
Allied mastery of the air over
Libya was emphasized by the
official announcement that in
addition to providing brilliant
support to the 9Th Army, me-
dunn bombers swept far ahead
of these operations to bomb
Sousse, in Tunisia, and acros.
