VICTORY GUNS BOOM

Fired In Honor OF New

LON N. Wednesday,
Sept. 1.-(P)-The German
position along the whole Rus
sian front appeared today to
be crumbling before the COM
bination of sledge hammer
blows by the exuberant Red
armies and the necessity of
shortening the lines because
of the mounting second front
threat.
The indications are that
Hitler is being forced to yield
the gains of two years of
costly war in the east.
If anything, the impetus of
the Russian summer on
slaught is increasing, as twice
last night Moscow's victory
guns doomed thunderous sa-
lutes signaling a 37-mile drive

numerous other towns overrun in
the seni-circle of flaring conflict.
So significant was the German
defensive crack-up regarded In
England, virtually the entire Lon

news of Russian gains above the
displays of Prime Minister Church

1t became increasingly apparent
that Russia's amazing successes
against the might of the German
army which rolled them back on
three preceding summers were due
to Germany's increasing strategic
needs as we'll as the force OF the

Capt. Ludwig Sertorius, German

Among the suggestions under

we're the methods of contracting

national goal will be 500 in bonds
for each wage Garner, and that
in comparison the New Hanover

The benefit picture at the Bailey

RUSSIA IS WARNED
Prime Minister Says Sec

POINTS TO NEW SIGNS
English Leader Makes No
Prediction As To When
War Will End

QUEBEC, Aug. 31.-(F-
Prime Minister Churchill ex.
tended an invitation to Pre-
mier Marshal Stain today to
join in a conference with him
and President Roosevelt, but
he pointedly warned Russia
on the matter Of a cross-chan-
mel invasion that Allied plans
for future attack would be
governed by military consid-
erations alone and not by po-
litical reasons.
Obviously taking note of
recurrent discussions of Bit
ish American Soviet CO.
operation, Churchill said in a
radio address that it would be
a great advantage to the en-
tire free world if the three
great Allies could reach "uni-
ty of thought and decision
upon practical measures to
the longer future as we'll as
upon strategic problems"
He pointed to repeated
signs OF victory that have &C
companied the Allied cause in
recent months, but warned
that he regarded speculation
"as to when the war will end,
at this moment as vain and
ullprofitable."
Wants Fight With Foe
In his speech, ringing with con-
fidence concerning the wars ulti-
mate outcome, the British prime
minister said he looked forward
to the day when British and Amer
lean armies Twill cross the chan
mel in full force and come to close
quarters with the German invad-
ers.''
He declared, however, in an OBJ
vious reference to second front"
agitation, that it will be because
we are satisfied that there is
good prospect of continuing Sue
cess and that our soldiers lives
are expended in accordance with
sound military plans and not squan-
dered for political consideration OF
any kind"
In reference to the need for
unity among Great Britain, the
United States and Russia, Church
i'll said that sit seems most nee
essary and urgent" that the for.
eign ministers or their represer-
tatives of the three great powers
should meet mot merely to ex-
plore the various important ques-
tons connected with the future ar
engagements for world security, but
to carry their discussions to a
point where the heads of states
and Governments may be able TO
intervene"
He MADE it clear, also that tho
British and Americans would be
glad to have the association OF
Russian representatives in politi-
cal discussions arising out of the
victories gained by British-Amer-
lean forces in the Mediterranean.
Churchill said it was natural for
the Russians, bearing the main
weight of the German armies on
their 'front.' to be FESTIVE because
their Allies had not established a
second continental land front.
Refusing to minimize the con-
tribution to victory already made
by British and American forces,
