On history's stage since the time Of Car
thaee the Tunis-Bzerte area of North Africa is
witnessing another climax in the aoe-oId drama
Of war.
Pushed for weeks by Allied troops into
coffin corner, Axis troops south Of Bizerte have
surrendered TO American forces. Allied forces
from the south and west have driven the remain
ing Axis forces into the Cap Bon Peninsula.
After losing an estimated 10000 troops
some weeks ago on the Mareth Line, General
Romnel hos slowly backed away. He was fol-
lowed by some 900 Germans and $1,000
Italians. Many Of these have been killed in the
sudden push OF the Allied forces in the past week
and thousands have given themselves up many

Fy the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-A hemi-
spheric crusade, dedicated to win
ming the war in 1943. will be launched
March u in more than LOO Roman
Catholic churches.
The Rev. Terence A. Seery, o. S. NJ
national director Of the Novena to
Our Sorrowful Mother, said today
the crusade will begin in churches
where the novena is conducted each
Fridav-1 .010 in the United States
and l56 outside the country.
Emphasizing the many instances
recorded in history where the united
prayers of the people brought vic
tory in battles and wars, Father
Seey asserted the novena Is with
out doubt the foremost religious
devotion that can readily unite all
the vast resources Of the Catholic
Church in a widespread crusade
organized for winning the end Of
the war.
with the help of the million
novenites who attend novena Serv-
ices We hope to enlist millions more,
regardless OF race, color or creed, in
this powerful movement for r quick
victory.
Leaders of the United Nations
have expressed confidence in the
good possibility of ending the global
war in 1943. 1t can be done. But We
believe earnestly that not weapons
and ammunition alone can achieve
this much desired victory. Our
leaders and fighting men must have
the moral support and the inspira-
ton of the prayers of all of US"
Those joining the crusade, which
Father Seery said has been approved
by the Most Rev. Samuel A. Stritch.
D. D, Archbishop of Chicago, will
pledge themselves to attend novena
services for the remaining Fridays
this year.
