Sees Hopes
Fade for Early
md Of Struggle

victims in every country, the Pope
urged the victors against demand
ing a vengeful peace and called
upon the faithful to get ready for
the work OF reconstruction in the
name of Christ"
But ali our efforts cannot cause
this horrible war to cease of
sudden he said. I'VE cannot give
back life to your dear dead; cannot
reconstruct your wrecked homes;
cannot free you wholly from your
anxiety. Much less is it in our
power to open to you the future ;"
The Holy Father, without men
tioning Germany b. name, tacitly
condemned the nazis for their at
tempt at world conquest that
brought on the war.
LITTLE POPE AHEAD
The present is tragic; the future
holds little hope and much fear"
he said. ",Sadder still is the view
which presents itself to those who
aspired to the possession CT force
and mastery; they now contem-
plate with horror the ocean of
Diocd and tears that bathes the
world, the tombs and graves full of
corpses multiplied and scattered
over every region of the earth Snd
through the isles of the sea, the
gradual eclipse of civilization the
progressive disappearance Of even
material prosperity, the destruc-
ton of famous monuments and of
edifices built with consummate art
which could have been called the
common heritage OF the civilized
world, the sharpening and deepen
ing OF hatred which inflames the
peoples against one another and
leaves no room for hope in the
future"
The present is witnessing a "mor-
al decadence which is burying all
humanitarian sentiments, but in
the midst of this dark night, the
light of Bethlehem must shine"
he said.
Only Christ alone can alleviate
the dark sentiments only Christ
can alleviate the tortures of human
ity"
DEATH AND HATRED
The Pope said the world for the
fifth time was preparing to celeb
rate Christmas in a tense atmos-
phere of death and hatred"
He said the church would do all
1t could to alleviate the pains of
all suffering humanity" calling
on all Christians to take comfort
from their faith.
Inc Pope said he realized that
deaths, anxiety for war prisoners
and fears for deported persons were
breaking the hearts of many Chris
tians.
Our fatherly heart is more than
ever with you" he said, but all
our efforts cannot suddenly end
this horrible war or give you back
your dear ones"
Asserting that many Christians
nave made concessions to false
doctrines, he urged the faithful to
close their ranks and get ready
Tor the work of reconstruction in
the name of Christ"
SPIRIT OF CHRIST
He said no person had the right
to consider himself without guilt.
He deplored the actions of many
'intellectuals who are now seeking
new political and moral ideals"
The spirit of Christ, he said, will
triumph again in both private and
public life.
He called upon those who have
been spared the direct suffering
OF war to give help to those who
have been rendered destitute. He
appealed for the revival of human
solidarity in responsibility"
In the new world peace order,
ne said, there must be no danger
that some nations get more power
and wealth than others. Then. he
said, there will be no danger of new
conflicts.

Eisenhower Hits
Al Critics of
Italy Campaigns
ALLIED ADVANCED COMMAND

ALLIED ADVANCED COMMAND
POST IN ITALY. Dec. "a. CUP)-
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, reply
ing to armchair strategists back
home, believes the Italian cam
paign has been successful in many
ways, although he admits he hoped
that Rome would be captured SOON
er than now seems possible.
The communicating -chief of this
area said he was overcome with
admiration for the fighting spirit
of the Fifth and Eighth armies. He
was especially pleased to see French
and Italian troops fighting along
side the Americans and British.
Allied aviation. he said, has a clear
superiority over the Germans.
BLUNT IN VIEWS
Eisenhower was realistic through
out his press conference, making
no attempt to gloss over the diff
culties and disappointments of the
italian campaign. He stressed that
the italian invasion had been worth
all the casualties and losses of ma
terial that had been suffered and
pointed out that the allies already
had won important air fields from
which they could raid German
occupied Europe.
Weather has been one of the
obstacles confronting the allies.
Eisenhower said A good spell of
weather would accelerate the push
northward he said, and described
the present campaign as the system
attic killing of Germans until their
armies crack.
The italian campaign, he said
is tying down 81 German divisions,
many of which would otherwise be
available for the Russian front.
WORTH WHILE
This alone, he said, has made
the campaign we'll worth while.
Additionally! the allies have gained
the important cluster of air bases
at Foggia from which bombing fleets
can spring northward into the heart
Of Germany and eastward into the
Balkans.
Eisenhower said many armchair
strategists are inclined to think
only in terms of broad strokes of
the brush but the present steady
slogging ahead has been, he said,
most valuable.
Praising the morale of the dough-
boys and tommies under the hard
ships of Italian mud and noun
tains, Eisenhower said:
Our polyglot army is united in
a common desire to kill Germans

OSPREYS.


Among the dive bombers" OF. the
bird world there are few, If any,
which strike with more speed and
skill than the osprey. 1t hits the
water with real force when it goes
down to capture fish.
The name osprey" came from the
Latin language and means bone
breaker" Thousands of fish are
crushed when seized by the strong,
sharp talons of this bird.
People often call ospreys fish
hawks" and that also is a good
name for them. They make their
living almost entirely by fishing.
Now and then they eat frogs and
snakes, but in general their food Is
made up Of perch, salmon and
other fish.
Ospreys are found on all six of the
inhabited continents of the earth,
In North America they range from
Alaska and Hudson Bay down
| through the United States into
Mexico.
The osprey may have a wing
spread of sig feet. It's feathers are
mainly brown above and white
below.
Usually ospreys build their nests
close to the shore of an ocean, sea
or lake, or beside large river. They
may choose an old tree or a cliff as
a nesting place.
Sticks are used to build the frame
work of the nest, but other material
| Is used for lining or is placed be-
tween the sticks. This material in
cludes seaweed, leaves and mud.
Additions to the nest are made as
the years go by. At length it is
likely to become a very large affair,
weighing 500 pounds or more.
Smaller birds have been known to
make their nests in spaces between
the sticks of an osprey nest!
Ospreys appear to keep their
mates "for life" If one of a pair
dies the other one looks around for
a new mate.
Soaring over the water in large
circles, these big birds spy fish near
the water surface. Down they dive,
their beaks pointing the way, but
Just before reaching the water they
raise their heads and go in feet first.
They wrap their claws about the
fish, then rise into the air and f1v
toward the nest or some spot on
solid ground to enjoy a feast.
Sometimes an osprey strikes the
water with such force as to break a
wing. Usually, however, it rises
safely with its game.
II a bald eagle is nearby 1t Ia
likely to attack the osprey and make
it drop the fish--in which case the
eagle has the feast.

The contract could have been
made in two different ways. One

The other plan was to win the

then throw East in with heart to
force diamond return. OF course,
if East's previous discards indicated
that he had blanked the diamond
king and kept two hearts, or heart

guide himself accordingly.
