HITLER PLEDGES
FANATICAL FIGHT
Continued From Page One)

the German nation since the fall
of Italy, carried an obviously de-
fensive note-an apparent effort to
answer reports of unrest in the
Reich, reports which have been
coming from neutral capitals with
growing frequency.
Hitler averred that only the Nazi
party was holding the German ma
ton together, and demanded that
rarty members must bring to
reason the unworthy and, if nee
essary, destroy him, because there
is one thing which is beyond doubt
and that is that this is war with
out pity
In a sarcasm-dripping reference
to the recent Moscow tri-power par
ley of the United States, Britain
and Russia, Hitler said:
''They set up COMMITTEES to study
the shape of the world after the
war They would do better to think
out how to shape their own world
at present.
He reiterated his old charge that
Britain was the prime mover In
the war, and invoked the Bolshe-
visit DOGGY, saying whatever sac
rifices we have to bear now, they
are not to be compared with what
we would have to bear if we lost
this war"
Hitler said of the fighting in Italy
that THE storm to Bremen (Bren.
ner Pass in northern Italy next tc
southern Germany has become a
snail offensive far to the south OF
Rome. (The Allies are reported
less than rs miles south of Rome
1t will have to pay its toll of blood
and that is according to u r
plans"
He declared that Every new
landing in Italy will force the AL
lies to employ additional tonnage
and split up their forces and where
ever a landing occurs it will meet
with German resistance.
Hitler said he was happy that
his friend, Benito Mussolini, had
been "rescued'' from Allied hands,
declaring that Mussolini had done
everything to make his people
great, strong and happy and, in
addition, let them participatein
the big decision"
1.-The Italian collapse" he went
on, cannot be without repercus-
sions on war developments. But
the hopes of our opponents are in
vain. Nothing of what they ex.
pected has happened, nor will il
happen"

POPPY SALE INCOME

The Poppy sale held Satur-
day by the Veterans of For

from the sale of $4,000 peoples.
From the $522 sent to the vet
Grams who made the peoples
the veterans sent part of the
orphans home.
The net profits OF the day
amounted to S5,051 II which
will be divided between the F.
w. Manley Post and the Auxi-
liary who in turn will make it
available to veterans of all
wars, including the present
war, who are in need of as
sistance. The entire amount
will be used locally by these
two chapters who often give
or loan the money which saves
some veterans life.

BIG AIR BATTLE
IS SEEN AHEAD

the German high commands plans.
The Germans realize fully the
might of the Allied airforce being
assembled in the Mediterranean
for a winter attack against Ger
many and are determined to stop
i. at all costs.
This is enc OF the main reasons
why the Nazi high command is
making every effort to keep the
Allies away from the big bomber
fields around Rome as long as
possible even at d heavy cost to
their ground forces.
1t is expected the Germans will
concentrate numbers of fighters in
the Pc valley to try to intercept
Allied bomber fleets as they cross
the Alps.
The Allied tactical air force, the
largest and most potent weapon of
its kind in the world, and the Al
lied strategic air force, which is
second only to the Britain-based
Raj in bomber fleets, welcome
this expected showdown battle.
The Allied air force in this the
alter has won every sky struggle
since last January against the Luft-
waite by continuous bombing Of
Nazi airfields until h y finally
catch the German planes on the
ground and wipe them out.
AS long as the Americans have
daylight bombers to operate over
German airfields it is difficult to
see how the Germans ever will
be able to build up enough strength
to challenge the Allies seriously.
let alone throw great bomber fleet
INTO action
A vital factor in air superiority
is the daylight bomber and the
Germans thus far have been I'M
pile to develop such a weapon
that can stand up against fighters.

Among other things, it revealed:
That the crisis in the casts oil

~ to the loss of IA tankers bound

That 60 per cent of all ships sup

That the Axis apparently counted
