CAIRO, Oct. 31.-The British
9th Army methodically whitfield
down German strength today in
the western Egyptian desert

tions and repulsed counterat-
tacks while maintaining air su-
premacy with the help of
American planes.
(The German radio said the
British resumed the attack early
Saturday, wheeling up reinforce
ments especially of artillery and
tanks. The assertion by DNB
came only II hours after the
Nazis had claimed the offensive
had collapsed)
Still there was no ma ior tank bat
tie and the German counterattacks
were made only with infantry and
light armor.
The Australians repulsed four
waves of Axis infantry yesterday

hundreds of square yards of terri

Advance Measured in Yards.
The progress through Marshal Ed

essarily was measured in yards. The
British were using artillery on a
scale unprecedented in the desert
to inflict maximum damage at mini
mum casualties.
The Germans and Italians were
fighting desperately to hold their
positions some 80 miles west of
Alexandria because for hundreds of
miles behind them there was no
place to establish another front so
narrow and thus so suitable for
compact defense.

ERECTED SOON

No doubt some are wondering
why the soldier plaque here at the

names Of the soldiers from this
county in World war two, has not
been erected. The delay is easily
explained. Harry w. Torbert, local
artist, who will erect the plaque,
has been engaged in like capacity
at Caldwell Since he is also en-
ployed at the Philo plant, daily, he
has been able to work on the Cald-
we'll plaque only limited amount
of time. However he has it COM
pleted and has begun on the one
here. His experience at Caldwell
will be valuable, and in the long
run we will be- benefited by the de-
lay.
A number of these plaques are
being erected throughout the state,
and it is a safe bet that the one
erected here-when it comes to ar
tistic design, fine workmanship,
ETC., will be the equal of any to be
found
AS has been stated there will be
no general solicitation for funds
with which to erect the plaque.
However, it will be done through
free-will offerings. The cost will be
around 5000. Those wishing to
make free-will offerings may leave
same at Harris Pharmacy, Malta;
the Twin City Opera House, at the
Democrat office, or the City res
taurant. Receipts will not be mail
ed, but the names of those making
contributions will be published.
