President Sets Sept. 9
For Third Loan Drive
Calls on Whole Nation
To Back the Attack

President Roosevelt today formally
proclaimed September for the start
of the Third War loan campaign
and asked every American to back
the attack" with War bond pur-
chases according to his conscience"
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau has set goal of $15,000,-
100000 for the drive, and Mr. Roose-
welt asserted that lin carrying the
war into enemy territory, we shall
need greater amounts OF money
than any nation has ever asked from
its citizens in all history"
LAS commander in chief" he said
in his proclamation, II hereby In
woke every citizen to give all possible
aid and support to this Third War
loan drive, not only so, that our
financial goal may be reached, but
to encourage and inspire those of our
husbands and fathers and sons who
are under fire on dozen fronts all
over the world"
Mr.. Morgenthau announced,
meanwhile, that the new half-size
economy" war savings bond will
make its appearance in about two
months.
The reduction in the size Of the
&c" bonds will save about 81, 750, 900
year in paper and production costs
alone, he estimated. The new di-
mansions will be 7s4 by s4A inches.
about the same as the present bond
folded once from top to bottom. No
change in denominations Is planned.

Nazi Drive Repu|sed
In Sicily as Allies
Down Relief Planes
n Big Transports
With Supplies for Axis
RiddIed Over Straits
BY the Associated Press.


ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, July 81
American and Canadian troops,
throwing themselves forward in
the northeastern area OF Sicily,
have cut to pieces savage Ger
man counterattacks in the CEN
trail sector and advanced over
ground strewn with Axis dead,
Allied headquarters announced
today.
At the same time, a headquarters
communicate announced that Allied
air forces had smashed a new enemy
attempt to bring reinforcements on
a large scale into Sicily by shooting
down 81 huge German Junkers-52
transports in a battle over Messina
Strait.
Two giant German 1923 Mersbergs
were shot down by Raj Beauflght-
ers. These planes are capable of
carrying more than 100 men, but
Official reports did not state whether
they were filed with troops.
Germans Plan Dixie"
1t was stated officially that Ger
man troops now have been identi-
fed all along the entire front in
Northeastern Sicily where they are
attempting to build a dixie across the
tip of the Island to block the inva-
sion gates to Italy.
Enemy losses skyrocketed in the
central and southern portions of the
line and number of German bat
talions lost half of their effective
strength in attempts to batter back
the relentless forward rush of the
Allied troops who swept In a wheel
ing movement from Central Sicily.
The Canadians bore the brunt of
the operation and made gains
against the heaviest opposition, and
the Allied communique said the
American advance, too, was pro-
ceedlng according to plan" How
ever, the Germans were managing
to stif1en their resistance as the
Americans drove into the harder
core OF the enemy's defense posi-
tions.
Medium bombers attacked railway
communications at Marina di PaoIa
IN Southern Italy while light bomb
ers and f1ghter-bombers continued
the assault upon shipping in sicilian
harbors and on road communications
on the island, the Allied communicate
said.
On the night Of July 1926 the port
OF Milazzo, Sicily, was attacked bv
medium bombers and torpedo-carrv-
ing aircraft sank an enemy mer-
chant vessel in the Tyrrhenian Sea
In addition to the 81 JU-52s shot
down in offensive sweeps over the
Messlna area on July IS. Allied
fighters shot down eight OF the enc
my escort planes.
