On the second front in North Africa, fighting is becoming more brisk in Tunisia although it is still local in character But it appeared to be going in favor of the Allies.
 Allied headquarters announced that the French who have been thrusting toward the coastal Tun- isian city of Sousse from the vicinity of the town of Kairouan, have forced an Axis detachment to withdraw from the northern part of this sector, capturing many prisoners and much equipment.
 In Libya, meanwhile, Field Mar shal Erwin Rommels forces still are fleeing west toward distant Tunisia, and it appeared more and more that he is urgently seeking to reach Tun- isia to aid German Gen. Nehring.
 It seemed positive to observers that to reach Tunisia was RommePs concern, rather than to defend that part of Libya which still is An Axis hands.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, Dec 24. - Tall, thin Gen. Giraud, who made dra- matic escapes from the Germans in two wars, 9 years apart, as- serted efnphatically that he knew but one duty now, to throw the Boche out of the French Empire and deliver my country
 The hero of two generations of French soldiers spoke in his first Interview since he outwitted the Gestapo and escaped to France. The interview was granted to Paul Bringuier, French African News Agency correspondent
 Giraud exclaimed his position in French affairs thus:
 I'll not mix in politics. For French patriots there is put one form of politics, and that is to gather behind the army. I leave politics for those who are prepared for it.
 It was announced November 10 that Giraud had stepped aside for Admiral Darlan to devote all of his attention to military matters.
 Said Giraud: "Only one hope is left to French patriots. That is to join the struggle by the side of our traditional Allies until the de- feat of the Axis results in the liberation of France"

2ND WARTIME CHRIST A 5. FOR AMERICA
Troops Abroad Are Cele. brdting in Own Way
 in Many Lands
tBy Associated Press)

Yuletide greetings from Presi- dent Roosevelt will launch the na- ton on another somber observance of wartime Christmas as thoughts of thousands at home turn to the millions of boys in their fighting stations abroad and in the service posts of the United States.
 As is the case with many a home, the four sons of the President are also away at war.
 But at the same time, Christmas in the American style will be cele- brated in many strange lands by the fighting men of the United States.
 Celebrate in Ireland
 In Northern Ireland, the United States Army will entertain 10000 youngsters of Great Britain to- night in style which the soldiers learned in their youth in America. There also are 50 invitations to at tend Christmas dinners out for each soldier who can be spared from war work in England.
 The story is the same in Aus tralia and New Zealand with pri- vate families and public agencies sharing the pleasure of trying to make the American boys feel at home
 In India, Lieut.. Gen. Joseph Still well sent Christmas greeting to the men in the Far Eag Con.aand with the hope that next year you will all be back where Christmas gan really be merry"
 As American troops pounded at the Japanese in the mud of the Pacific jungles and thrust at the Axis across the sands of North Af- rica, the men in the war plants at home looked toward their first holiday of the year, complying with the wish of WIPE Chairman Donald Nelson that work on tanks, guns, and ships will cease tomor- TOW in most plants
 Work Harder
 Nelson said, after the holiday we must drive ahead with re- newal of energy"
 The Army and Navy, meanwhile, have promised spreads of turkey, ham, nuts, candy, ice cream and other trimmings for their men.
 There was turkey, too, for the r. 500 Americans imprisoned by the Japs at Camp Woosung near Shang- hai, and the Red Cross reported supplies of food, clothing and medi- cines are en route to other Amer ican prisoners in the Philippines.

ALASKA ARMY MEN WAITING FOR HUNTING
Bill Dies in Senate Com mittee = Dimond
 Asks. Change

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24. = Sol- diers in Alaska are going to have to keep on avoiding the Kodiak bears and other big game for a few weeks longer until Congress gets around to passing the re- vamped Alaska Game Law Bill.
 The measure proposing reorgani- zation of the game laws passed the House but died in the files of the Senate Committee on Terri tories when Congress adjourned last week
 The bill was amended in the House so that soldiers in Alaska were not only granted the right to hunt and fish in the Territory on the same basis as residents, but put them in the same class with Eskimos and children under 12, requiring no licenss.
 Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond and the Fish and Wildlife Service opposed the bills amend ments in the House, declaring that the proposals would soon bring about an end for the big game in the Territory.
 Dimond said he would reintro- duce in the next session bill to permit members of the armed forces to be eligible for hunting and fishing licenses for $3 a year after having resided in the Terri tory for a year, and hoped for speedy enactment of the legisla- ton.
