Deputy Sheriffs Richard De-

today sought Sam Lisiluk, So, as
the man who beat Mike Koz,

axe handle in a renewal of a
long standing feud.
Jarvis said that Koz was at
tackled by Lisiluk at 6 a. m. to-
day as Koz left the home of Mrs.
Anna Boraites, SO, of 2290 Will

he is a roomer.
The trouble started, Jarvis
said, when Koz replaced Lisiluk
as a roomer in the Lisiluk home.
Sam was shot through the chest
by Mrs. Boraites last Aug. IL
when he attempted to enter the
house against her wishes. Sam
astounded medical authorities
when he recovered in seven

Sam has been sought for
more than a month on a war

charging him with destroying
property.
Seven stitches closed wounds
in Koz' head.

Polite 'uItimotum'
Issued to French

WASHINGTON, Nov. Or
= President Roosevelt has mott
fled the Bey of Tunis that the
American armed forces in North
Africa hope to pass through
French Tunisia, apparently to
strike eastward toward the Axis
forces now retreating from
Egypt.
The White House disclosed to-
day that the message had been
delivered Saturday night to the
Bey, Sidi Moncef Pacha, and
that it asserted at one point:
1.-THE indomitable and mass
i've American armed forces
which I am dispatching TO North
Africa in collaboration with the
forces of Fr.nce, will cooperate
with you in the dcfens, of your
country. They have no other
aim than the early destruction
of our common enemies. -

the forces of evil from North
Africa"
Tunisia is q Frenc.i protec-
torate lying between Algiers.
which American troops already
have entered, and Italian-con-
trolled Iibya. The Bey is the
nominal governor of Tunisia.
The message to him was trans
mitted through Admiral Jean
Pierre Esteva, French resident
general at Tunis.
While the chief executives
message was couched in friendly,
police terms, 1t could be regard
ed as a sort of ultimatum to let
United States forces 60 through
Tunisia.
There was no explanation OF
the Presidents reference to col
liberation with the forces Of
France, although this govern
ment had appealed to the French
to cooperate with the American
troops toward the ultimate goal
Of freeing the French colonies
from the threat of the Axis.

Beet Harvest Moy
be On Some Doy

While all city schools close
Thursday and Friday SO teach
ers can register applicants for
gas rationing books, more than
400 Mount Clemens High school
students likely will invade the
beet fields to save a crop threat
ened by the manpower shortage.
Superintendent L. Wade Fast
and Principal Monte McFarlane
were hopeful today that the har-
vest will be set for Thursday,
Friday and Saturday because,
with school dismissed, more
students will volunteer their
services.
Fast said that Franklin Coun-
/ y Sugar company officials have
not yet notified him of harvest
details. McFarlane, meanwhile,
announced that girls may work
in the fields il they are accept
able to Sugar company officials
and if their parents do not OBJ
ject.
McTarlane, who pulled beets
as 4 boy, pointed out that many
of the girl volunteers live on
farms and are experienced at
that type of work.
Fast today revealed the sched-
ule for gas ration registration.
While all schools will close, the
registration will be held at the
high school only from 8 a. m.
until noon, from 1870 to $50
p. m. and from z to 8 p. m. on
Thursday and Friday. On Satur-
day, the registration will be
held from 9 a. m. until noon.
Fast today urged all motor
ists to register as early as pos
sible. He fears a last minute
rush during which many will
be unable to register.

CAIRO, Nov. 8-(Delayed)-
(R)) - The British Eighth
Army's lightning blows against
the Axis forces In Egypt, coupl-
ed with the landing Of United
States troops in French North
Africa, have changed the entire
picture in the Mediterranean
Basin.
Within q fortnight grave con-
Germ over the outlook has given
way to . rising tide Of optimism,
inspired by the most hopeful
token of ultimate victory In
three years Of conflict.
Early opening Of . reasonably
safe Allied supply route through
the Mediterranean Is one of the
numerous advantages which
may well stem from current

Japan'S last hold on the teem-

American soldiers who hacked

their way into striking distance
ter probably the greatest air.

flat-footed.
On Guadalcanal, too, indomi-
table American fighting men
were on the advance, rolling the
Japanese back to the east of Hen
derson airfield in a thrust that
carried four miles and may have
cut off one japanese landing
force.
The green-clad, jungle-trained
American doughboys who moved
up yesterday to grips with the
Japanese near Buna were fer
ried along with Australian troops
by airplane from Australia to a
natural landing strip in Japan
csc territory. Supplies and even
jeeps were flown to the field,
discovered by chance by an AL
lied airman who landed there at
ter having engine trouble.
The whole operation twas car
ried out under the nose of the ia
panese army which gave no evil
dence of knowing what was 60
ing on" one informant told an
Associated Press correspondent
on New Guinea.
Natives helped hide the stores
from sight, and the Australians
and Americans pushed along
trails seldom used by white man
through the last ridges of the
Owen Stanley range and into
position for their attacks.
The Americans struck at the
Japanese base on the northeast
coast, the Australians at the ia
panese advance stronghold at
Oivi, so miles inland from Buna.
Allied bombers and fighters

Oivi, Salamaua and Buna, and
carrying their attacks to Gas

off the southwest coast of New
Britain, and Koepang, in Timor.
TORPEDOBOATS SCARCE
A Navy communique on oper-
atoms in the southeast Solomons
said motor torpedoboats probab-
ly sank one of two Japanese de-
stroyers they attacked north of
the American positions on Quad
alcanal Saturday morning. An
aerial attack that afternoon on
an enemy naval formation con-
sisiting of q light cruiser and
several destroyers resulted in the
possible sinking of the cruiser
and heavy damage to one des-
troyer.
Twelve of the japanese planes
which tried to intercept the at
tack were shot down and four
American planes were lost.
The only action ashore was the
thrust east by American soldiers
and Marines who reached the
Metapono river, four miles be-
yond Kill point where the ia
panese recently put reinforce
ments ashore.
