International News Review
New Alignment.

With this So-called anti-German
agreement in the background of his
mind, Prime Minister Winston
Churchill arrived in this country
shortly before Christmas, and since
then has been discussing war mat
tiers in Washington and Ottawa.
Out of the conferences be-
tween him and President Roose-
welt came few days ago a full
fledged agreement, amounting in
practice to almost a formal treaty,
making it clear that twenty-six
nations are completely and defi-
nitely committed to the plan of
defeating German nazism, Italian
fascism, and Japanese imperial
ism.
This agreement-an extension, so
to say, of the Roosevelt-C Churchill
Atlantic Charter" of August IA,
1941-was the reply of the demo-
cratic nations to the challenge of the
axis-controlled countries.
No Separate Peace.
"A HiOSt LIipOI IdIlI pTOVlSlON OF LQdt

were the following: The United

1T Pays To Advertise

Two weeks ago a small ad ap-
peared in these columns announcing
a lady's purse had been found on
the highway on the outskirts of
Rising Sun. Owner could recover
same by applying to Magistrate c..
E. Marker and identifying property.
A young lady residing near Fair
Hill, saw the advertisement and
said her sister, while enroute to
her home in North Carolina had
stated she lost her pocketbook from
the bus somewhere near Rising Sun.
AS the young lady could not definit-
ely describe the contents she wrote
to her sister for details. The purse
contained only a $40 bill with about
one third torn off. The loser of the
purse sent this torn end to her sis
ter and it was found to match the
bill in the purse which was turned
over to her, with the request that
she reward the finders, which she
promised to do. Two small boys
had picked up the purse from the
roadway and brought it to Mr..
Marker. They were Kenneth Gamble
and a small son of Otis Monger and
we trust they were rewarded for
their honesty.
