ORDER OF PUBLICATION
M MAURICE w. EACHUS,
Il Complainant
VS..
ANN GIUSEPPE EACHUS,
Defendant
In the Circuit Court for
Cecil County,
Equity No. 57S7
The object of this Bill is to secure
a decree divorcing the Complainant
a yinculo matrimonii from the De-
fendant.
The Bill states that the Complain
ant was married to the Defendant
on the oath day of March, 1889 at
Elkton, State of Maryland and they
separated on the 27th day of March,
1899; that though the conduct OF
Complainant towards the Defendant
has always been kind, affectionate
and above reproach the said Defen-
dant, without any just cause or
reason abandoned and deserted him
and declared her intentions to live
with him no longer, and such aDan-
donment has continued uninterrupt-
edly for more than eighteen months,
and is deliberate and final, and the
separation of the parties beyond
any reasonable expectation of recon-
ciliation; that there were no child
rem born of said marriage, and that
the Plaintiff has resided in Cecil
County, State of Maryland for more
than one year past before the filling
of this Bill of Complaint and the De-
fendant whose last known address
was R. D. West Wood, Coatesville,
Pennsylvania, and now believed to
be somewhere in the State of Penn
sylvania. The Bill then asks for a
decree divorcing the Complainant
from the Defendant a vinculo mat
rimonii and for such other and fur
ther relief as his case may require.
IT is THEREUPON, this 9th
day of July, 1912, by the CIRCUIT
COURT FOR CECIL COUNTY, IN
EQUITY ORDERED that the Com
plainant cause copy of this Order,
with the object and substance of the
Bill, to be inserted in some news
paper published in Cecil County
once a week for four successive
weeks, before the 2Sth day of Aug
ust, 1912, giving notice to the De-
fendant, who is nonresident of
the State of Maryland, to appear in
this Court, either in person or by
Solicitor, on or before the 14th day
of September, 1912, to answer the
premises and to abide by and per-
form such decree as may be passed
herein.

on the road to beating down the Brit
ish and he would not be stopped.

mediately.
News out Of New Delhi indicated
that this step came as triumph for
the 72-year-old advocate of Indian
nationalism over Pandit JawaharlaI
Nehru, left-wing leader of the party.
Nehru has been described as the
best friend the United Nations have
in India and thus it appeared that
any movement to force freedom
from Britain would be so carried
out as to refrain from interfering
with the war effort there. For most
sources did not believe Nehru would
have been won over so easily if he
thought the United Nations cause
would be endangered.

RUSSIA:
Deepest DriUe

Even Moscow admitted it. The
powerful Nazi thrust had finally
driven deeper into Soviet territory
than at any time before in the his
tory Of the war. Last year it was
toward Moscow that drive pene-
trated to it's farthest point.
But the current German cam
paign wasn't headed directly that
way. It's spearhead had thrust it.
self across the Don river and swung
around the big bend of that river
heading southeastward down the
valley toward Stalingrad.
Though there were immense
losses of Nazi men and machines
Hitler kept on going for he wanted
Stalingrad on the vital Volga. But
even more he wanted what he could
find beyond the rich oil pools
of THE CAUCASUS.
The Moscow-Rostov railway had
been cut earlier and Soviet commu-
nications thus suffered hard blow.
When the Germans slash across and
solidate their positions on the Volga
it means that still another highly
important link between the final bat
tleground for the Caucasus and Mos
cow would be severed. Crumpling
of their forces further to the north
of Rostov would also leave the Rus
slams open to hard new push by
floods of Nazis released from that
battle sector.
Russia's hope was the heavy toll
Of German strength that was being
extracted as the Reds fell back in
their delaying action all along the
fighting front. German claims of
success spoke of the breaking of
"1ocal resistance everywhere.
Some military sources were inclined
to agree with them in this regard
but there was speculation as to
whether or not communicates like
this one were true:
In one days fighting Germany lost
only six planes and on the same
day Russian losses were set at So
tanks and "a planes.

there was no damage or casual

The announcement that these
troops were in New Guinea marked
the first time that it was learned
that U. S. forces were moving north
ward from Australia. Previously
only activity by American troops in
Australia and on the French island
Of New Caledonia, had been report
ed in the southwest Pacific.
Port Moresby lies just north of
Australia and with Port Darwin in
North Australia forms a vital area
for defensive as we'll as offensive
moves by the United Nations forces.
It has been bombed constantly by
the Japs.

to give these enemy agents the
benefit Of all doubt as to their guilt.
Extensive cross-examination by
defense counsel of prosecution wit
nesses slowed testimony but during
the trial little information leaked out
to the news-hungry public.

round with the court in getting re-

EGYPT:
Again the Aussies

German Field Marshal Romme1
had to deal with the Australians
again. His mobile columns and ar
tillery had smashed the British back
in a headlong drive that had dan
gerously extended his communicat
lines back to Bengasi and Tobruk.
And then at Ell Alamein the British
army of the Nile, reinforced by
Australians, let him have it.
They chose the coastal route to
slap back. Along the Mediterranean
they rushed at the Nazi and Italian
forces who had little time to dig in
and consolidate their positions. The
British, South African and New Zea-
land desert units threw out an Of
fensive to the south and west of their
Ell Alamein line and the Aussies
charged in against the German
tanks.
Reports from Cairo said that they
were using new type Of anti-tank
gun and they used it at shorter
range than usual. It had been a
pre-dawn assault and some Of the
enemy had been caught mapping.
Time after time the Aussies were
way out in front of their supporting
tanks. They overran enemy gun po-
sitions and In some cases turned
the guns around to the west and
fired at the German-Ita1ian positions
beyond.
There developed later, however,
the most important angle of the
battle for the Suez. It was an all
out air battle. Rommel had suf-
fered some heavy plane losses as
he kept hammering the British back
but now his air strength seemed to
be strengthened. For as the Aus
sizes caught his tanks temporarily off
guard, Rommers planes rose to

SMALL BUSINESS:
And War Production

With the appointment of Lou E.
Holland, former president Of the
Kansas City, Mo-, Double Rotary
Sprinkler Corp, as WPB deputy
chairman in charge of the Smaller
War Plants corporation, WPB Chair
man Donald Nelson said that he
believed this agency should attempt
to confine the manufacture of rela-
lively simple war items to smaller
factories.
He said that the farming-out of
manufacture Of bit and pieces by
large corporations which hold prime
contracts should be increased and
the conversion of other small plants
to essential civilian production
should be encouraged.
1T is unfortunately very likely
that the number of small business
firms which we can help in this
war will be smaller than the num-
per we cannot help" said Mr.. Mel
