dispatches today reported that a

plane borne Nazi divisions which
are attempting to slice across the

The Communist party newspaper

Fires blazed high in the outskirts.
Scores of German dive bombers

occupied France was understood
today to have been ordered in re-

TRICK FAILS

In fighting SO close that those on
each side could hear what the others
were saying. the Japanese heard the
Marines mention the name of Capt.
Justin G. Duryea, Newburgh, N. Y.
Hey, Capt Duryea, we are bring
ing reinforcements from the right,
shouted a voice. Don't shoot us"
The voice sounded a bit too pol
ished for a tobacco chewing Marine,
and Duryea knew he could expect
no reinforcements.
20. K.-come on!" he yelled Back
The "reinforcements" advancedto
meet a sheet of machine gun and
rifle fire.
The Marine positions, facing in
land from the north shore of Quad
alcanal Island, were based on the
air field.

ATTACK EXPECTED

The Marines were posted about
three miles in from the air field,
in hilly terrain among grassy knolls
and heavy jungle. They had dug
themselves shallow fox holes and
had managed to erect some wire be-
fore them.
At 10 pm. word was passed down

TRUE HOSPITALITY

The thoughtful host does not serve
liquor when entertaining servicemen
In his home, widely-read Angelo
Patri counselled In recent column.
Should the host drink the boys
health in a stiff drink Of liquor?
Mr.. Patri asks. adding II hope not.
No matter what ones private habits
in this direction may be. it would
seem to me that when entertaining
young men Of the services, we would
be doing them and ourselves an Ill
turn by offering them liquor when
they are on leave. They feel obliged
to accept what is offered because
they are guests accepting hospital
ity.,"
He asks further: what good win
this toasting do the host or the
servicemen? A headache, stiff bill
for drinks. helps nothing and no
body"
He concluded: ''You would not
want anybody to give your son or
daughter q drink ;. that In the
least would decrease his power or
self-control, self-direction. intelligent
usefulness In emergency. Then, Of
course, you would not offer that kind
Of drink to another family's son."

SHOCK IN SURGERY is
CURTAILED

A new type of shockless amputa-
accomplished by chilling a
leg or arm in refrigerator rather
than using a general anesthetic--
was described before the American
Congress of Physical Therapy.
A portable refrigeration unit has
oeen developed to produce the chill
md the technique is especially suit
able for use on soldier casualties,
he congress was told.
DR.. Lyman Weeks Crossman,
senior attending surgeon at New
York City Hospital, and DR.. Fred
erick M. Allen of the New York
Polytechnic Medical Hospital devel-
,ped the technique and DR.. Cross
man described it in prepared
paper.
The method was devised follow
ing experiments in which limbs
we're immersed in ice water or pack
ed in ice.
With the mobile refrigeration
unit, numbness may be produced
more conveniently, DR.. Crossman
said. The unit may be used stimuli
taneously on two persons, he added,
and may be operated by the electric
generator of an automobile. He
said:
1T is important to emphasize
hat the tissues are not frozen"
The technique is equally valu-
able in cases of compound fractures
and burns, he said, and has been
tried and found satisfactory in
Army and Navy hospitals.
Describing the principle, he
wrote:
Gold nerves cannot transmit
impulses and cold tissues cannot re-
spond with shock The wounds
heal better after refrigeration than
after other means of operation"
DR.. Crossman said that refrigera-
ton, by minimizing infection and
loss of blood, made it possible to am
putate limbs lower than is necessary
in other techniques.
High thigh operations at City
Hospital in New York have become
practically obsolete since expert
ments began, he said, and the NOR
tally rate in gangrene cases has
been reduced substantially.

WARS LAST SHOPPING SPREE
EXPECTED BEFORE CHRIST
MAS

Government statisticians predict
that the nation, earning at rate
never before equalled in history, will
go on it's last big shopping spree for
the duration this Christmas.
While department store stocks are
high, the boom time buying during
the Christmas season may exhaust
many durable goods lines, like radios
and household electrical appliances.
Since manufacture of the latter pro-
duets has been banned, they will be
gone for the duration. Many store
shelves are expected to be left empty
and unless there is orderly buying
the OPA may be forced to step in
and ration essential civilian products
like clothing and shoes.
At present, about 40 per cent of
the gross national output is being
devoted to war, 60 per cent to civil
ian production. By Christmas Of
1913, the figures will be turned
around, go per cent for war, 40 per
cent for civilians. That leaves an
overall cut of 20 per cent in civilian
output still in prospect.
Because of unusually large inven-
tories at the start of the war, the
pinch of shortages has not been
acutely felt, as yet. But the pinch,
WPB experts explained, is real
enough and it will begin to hurt,
they predicted, after Christmas. Be
cause rationing of many articles is
in prospect, coupled with the fact
chat civilian output must inevitably
1rop in 1913, Christmas 1912 will af-
ford Americans the last big oppor-
unity to go on an unrestricted shop
ping spree.
Shortly before Christmas, the OPA
will have all-purpose rationing books.
AVAILABLE, and if run on essential
civilian goods starts, the nation may
get other doses of rationing as
Christmas sedatives.

War Sacrifices

Is the business Of getting people
drunk essential to the nations all

This question is now being argued
in the public forum with every indi-
cation that the people themselves
are again far ahead of Washington

aspects of self-discipline for war.
A national poll before war was
declared showed that close to so

needed transportation.
