REDS ARE STILL ON OFFEN NS|vE
Claim More Germans Killed in Fighting Around
 Nalchik
BY HENRY SHAPIRO United Press Staff Correspondent


 Moscow, Nov. Il (Up) Rcd army forces have killed 300 more Germans and destroyed, put out of action or captured 35 tanks isouth- east of Nalchik in the bleak, cold Caucasus, the Soviet high command said today.
 Earlier reports had said that the initiative was In Russian hands southeast of Nalchik, and the high commands noon communique did not make clear whether the Ger mans had suffered these new losses in defensive or offensive fighting.
 Southeast of Nalchik, Soviet forces fought German tanks and in- fantry fiercely all day, killed 300, destroyed 2l tanks, put seven out of action and captured seven more with three armored cars and a staff car" 1t said.
 However, the Germans had at- tackled four times on one sector in the Nauchik region yesterday. The Russians, who have held the Ger man drive toward the Gromy oil fields and the Georgian military highway for more than a week, dis abled six tanks.
 The exhausted Germans did al. most no fighting in Stalingrad, where the Russians were widening their counter blows.
 Tn the Stalingrad area. our troops fortified their positions and engaged in reconnaissance, the noon communique said.
 "One unit raided enemy positions and wiped out 70 officers and men. On another sector, company of German infantry attempted to ap- proach our forward positions. Up to two platoons (two- thirds of the company were wiped out"
 Northwest of Stalingrad, in the Don- -Volga Corridor, artillery duels continued. The noon communicate reported that Soviet gunners had destroyed three dug-in German tanks and silenced two artillery batteries and four mortar batteries on that sector.
 Soviet forces were advancing again in the cold mountains north. east of Tuapse naval base. on the Black Sea. The midnight commun. ique said they had captured a for- tified height and killed 200 more Axis troops. The noon communique reported that some Axis forces had infiltrated Soviet positions north east of TuapSe and had been wiped out.
 CA German trans-ocean agency dispatch last night said that Ger man troops had dispersed @ Soviet cavalry regiment and wiped out in- fantry forces in "heavy snowstorms" northeast of Mozook. If 1t were showing around Mozdok, 1t prob ably was southeast of Naichik, which Is 50 miles southwest of Moz- dok.)

NEXT, ARMY QUOTA WILL SET RECORD
Married Men and Those With Dependents Seem
 Likely to Be Drafted

Draft board officials said today that the December quota for Wa terbury's four boards is the largest received here since the selective service program was established two years ago. It is practically certain that the high quota will require the drafting of married men although officials claim that men with collateral dependents such as father, mother, sister, or brother, will be the first to so.
 Harold V. Boyce, secretary of Board 1894, said that there was not a single IA man in his district and that 1t would obviously be mandatory to call upon married men. Mir. Boyce averred, however that every effort would be exerted to tig' AAn up on deferments and call every unmarried man avail- able.
 Speaking of younger men and those who are married, MT. Boyce remarked: "1t takes about a month to put a man through the various phases preliminary to sending him to Hartford and for that reason none of the teen age boys will be included in the December quota. The local boards do not recognize @ marriage since Dec. 8, f94l, and those married since May 27, l94l, the day President Roosevelt de- clared an unlimited emergency, will be the first married men to be in- .ducted,"
 Despite an announcement from aShhgton to the effect that aft r NON l post-induction furloughs would bs xeduced from IA to 2 days 1onnectid st draftees are still get ing their wo-week leaves and no official wo has been received here to the co&htrary.
 aCoaI. Otis Porter, who is in charge of the Hartford induction center Stated today that no official orders have been received as to the reduc- ton of the furlough.
 "Men inducted here since Nov. l have been instructed to report to army reception centers l4 days aft CT their induction, and we shall continue to issue similar instruc- tions until we receive orders to the contrary" explained Col. Porter,

 Another Allied spokesman broad- ing to France, said:
 "The enemy is at bay and venting his rage At Lyon, Toulouse and MarSeilie because he Is being pushed cut of Africa, but the moment for revolt in metropolitan France had not yet arrived.
 "The occupation troops should Do met only with silence, because out. rage could do more harm than good"

AN UNUSUAL MISSION

Five hundred Marylanders went tc
Washington few days ago.
They provided that city with a
strange spectacle.
Many persons go to Washington
these days; more than ever before
Most Of them go to get something
from the Government. They 90 to
lobby for legislation that would bene-
fit them. They go to ask special priv
ileges, or to get political jobs.
The object of their visits, in a great
majority of cases, is to get the Gov
eminent to spend money in some di-
rection that favors the applicants
But the 500 Marylanders had an
entirely different mission; mission
that was just the reverse.
They came, and talked vigorous
talk to Maryland legislators, because
they want the Government to Spend
less money
They were members of Taxpayers
Leagues from Baltimore city and
many counties. Their slogan was:
"Billions for defense but not one cent
for waste"
They presented, and argued for the
principles of, petition that says, in
part:
eve are ready to make any sacri-
flee for victory but we are convinced
that the waste of our tax dollars re-
tards victory and tends to destroy
public morale
They urged our Congressman tc
support the Byrd committee, which is
trying to cut two billion dollars from
the Federal budget by eliminating
governmental activities which it con-
siders nOn-essential.
No wonder that, when the SOC
Marylanders had presented their argu-
ments, Senator Willard E. Tydings
said:
at is refreshing that so many
citizens give up their time and trave
long distances to exercise their rights
under a democracy"
Refreshing to legislators, who arc
usually beset by favor-seekers.
And refreshing also to the nation
for only through the voices of the
citizenry will democracy remain

Our country is like beleaeuered

Wants More Consideration
Shown to Men In Service
Who Happen to Cross Our Path
Friendsville, Md.
Nov II 1910
.e Republican,:

To the Editor of The Republican,:
We, in this county, seem to be so
far from the war, and in such safe
locality that we do not take as much
interest in or render as much assist
ance as we could to our men in serv-
ice when they are on leave or are
travelling through here to their homes,
Aside from their families or immedi-
ate relatives no one seems to pay
much attention to them.
Everyone, including the various or
CARNATIONS, should try and find out
from every man on leave from the
armed forces if they can assist him
in his travels, to OF from his home or
camp, and provide wholesome enter
tainment or sleeping accommodations
if necessary.
Proper pride and modesty prevent
him from asking for this assistance
but | feel that we who remain at
home should 90 out of our way to
help our Service men.
! know a truck driver who left here
shortly after midnight with load of
posts for Pennsylvania, in order to
help soldier on leave from a camp
in Virginia reach his home beyond
Uniontown | consider that a splendid
example Of helping keep up morale,
as that man had been hitch-hiking for
about 30 hours without sleep.
Although lot of people don't care
a boot for the eX-service man after the
wars are won, let's all do everything
we can while we're in this thing up
to our neckS.
If everyone realized the hardships
and sacrifices facing our armed forces
it wouldn't be necessary to remind
them of their laxity And they may
show little more consideration and
understanding towards the very few
that sometimes imbibc a little too
freely, while on leave from camp.
If you happen to know or see any
one whose actions or loyalty is ques-
tionable, don't hesitate to inform the
law enforcement officials. They will
make the necessary Investigations and
keep the sources of information con-
fidential as far as possible
Very sincerely yours,
J. S. TEATS.
