widespread offensive operations of
their own with sharp, deadly as
saults on their would-be Axis "paci-
fiers" in the south Serbian noun
tains and across the Croat frontier

mants reported today.
Under the command of Gen. Draja
Mihailovic, these hardy men Of the
mountains were slugging it out with
German, italian, Bulgarian and
Hungarian forces numbering upward
of 100000 in two major struggles
which began late In June.
One force of 10000 Yugoslavs is
taking q heavy toll of plane-sup-

In another major clash Gen.
Mihailovic's men were reported to
have smashed attacks on /. their
mountain stronghold by Axis forces
made up OF one division of Hitler's
picked Blackshirt Elite fSSl corps,
German armored units, the 18th
Bulgarian division and two or three
Italian divisions. The Yugoslavs
said the Axis had yet to take q single
important point in this campaign.
Latest accounts from Yugoslayia
said the battle in Croatia began
when the patriots attacked Croats

80 miles southeast Of Zagreb.
The Yugoslavs were declared to
have surrounded the Croats there
and at Sanksimost, 2S miles west
Of Banjaluka. Fighting is in progress

Other Yugoslav units were making
sorties across the northeast frontier
into Italy, and some Of these raids
had carried to the vicinity of Trieste

that Gen. Mihailovic's forces were
divided into two distinct lighting

pare adults of the community to

them directly, and to train them to
train them to produce the sinews Of

It was brought out further that.
"The essentials part of the estab-
lished program is still vitality neees-
sary. Children must continue to be
provided with opportunities to OBJ
tain the information, the skills and
the understandings that are essen
tial to q citizenship in democracy.
But, in addition, the schools must
continually interpret the meaning,
the importance and the significance
of the democratic way of life, and
must lead students and adults to
exert their total resources to its
preservation"
In addition to the above nine
special points Of emphasis were
brought out in which suggestions
were made as to the types Of pro-
grams that should be conducted in
the schools during the war period.
It is our hope chat every teacher
in Mississippi will use these sugges-
tions along with ideas they have n
ready put into effect in making tho

citizenship but in contributing in
every possible way toward winning
