Displaying tremendous striking
power the British Eighth Army has
started the hordes of Field Marshal
Rommel across the Egyptian desert
In disorderly retreat. While the
American ground forces are not SO
numerous in this particular theateI
of war, the U. S. Air Force is well
represented, and hourly reports
hot of the wire from Cairo, tell OF
the havoc the great bombers from
the United States are doing far be-
hind the enemy lines. At this point
we would like to make a prediction
sometime ago we stated that If
this particular offensive was sue
cessful, watch Italy. 1t is our be-
lief that the United Nation forces
are going to grind the vaunted Afri-
ka corps Of Rommel into the sands
of the desert. and then launch a
mighty invasion attack against the
Italian mainland. We have heard
the. story that there are 100000
trained and fully equipped Italian
troops ready to repel such an in
vasion attempt. These augmented
by 100000 Nazis constitute a SER
ious threat to any invader, or ra-
ther they would If Mussolini could
depend on those three million Ital-
ian bayonets, but the "Duce" can't
count on them except to slit his
throat at the earliest opportunity.
AS for the, Nszi, Rssassins stationed
in Italy the arriving B. E. F. and
A. E.. F.. will drive them through
the Brenner Pass into Hitler's own
backyard. Then the fireworks will
really start and Adolph, the mighty
crackpot, whose greatest claim to
infamy is the ruthless war his
stinking regime has waged on in
nocent men, women and children,
will get the shellacking he has so
long asked for. The hour is at hand
for all true lovers of freedom to
take heart. The Nazi structure is
crumbling-arise, men of Italy,
France, Poland, Belgium, Holland,
Czechoslovokia, fight your Nazi
masters with every weapon at your
disposal, let them feel your wrath
your hour of delivery is at hand

In the South Pacific, it would
seem that the Japs, have had
enough fight for the time being.
They have found that what they
have called the decadent nations of
the world, whom they have been so
prone to despise as raising only
weaklings, can fight and will fight,
and are ready to sacrifice every
thing including life itself to win.

When Josephus Daniels celebrat-
ed his eightieth birthday last May,
he related some history to the As
sociated Press that had never been
published before.
Mr.. Daniels was Secretary of
the Navy throughout the first
World War.
In October. 1918, forty-odd days
before the Armistice was signed, he
received cable from London ask
ing that he receive the head of the
British Admiralty. In a few days
the First Lord appeared in Wash
ington. At a secret conference he
impaired the information that Ger
many was prepared to let loose the
following spring a feet of U-boats
that would terrorize, If not destroy,
British shipping. He asked that the
United States direct it's full effort to
the production of destroyers.
The day following this all-night
conference with the British. the
American ambassador in Paris in
formed Mr.. Daniels, through rep
resentative just arrived in Wash
ington, that the war would end in
sixty days. The ambassador was
certain that his information was
good.

More and more is the call for scrap
To keep our enemies off our map
Who would make our life lines snap
II they could catch us in a trap.
Sunday, November 8, 1912.
We hope to again to be seeing you
To get all the scrap we possibly
can
To help our nations fighting man.
Anything that can be put to. use.
VIII be put to work to stop the
abuse
Now heaped upon many an innocent
head,
And save Myriad's more before they
are dead,
May the truck that calls at your
back door
Be loaded up until it can hold no
more
OF this vital metal which we now
need
