FRENCH ADVANCE

French forces advancing in the |
OusSeltia sector pressed northWard |
and took Djebel Sefscuf, about sew +
en- miles northeast Oh Karachoun. |
A total of 600 more prisoners, in |
Guiding 200 seized by the British at /
Mass Djebel Ang and 400 taken by
the French at Djebel Sefsouf, was |
reported in todays communiqCe,
running the grand total since the
Mareth line offensive to more than
10000. Total for the entire Tu-
nisian campaign is about $4,000
prisoners.
OF the 10000 prisoners officially
announced since the Mareth at
tack, about 1000 were Germans and
$4,000 italians. The fact that the
British captured mostly Germans at
Mass Djebel Ang, however, indi-
Gated that Rommel had completed
the withdrawal of his best forces
and was starting his last-ditch
stand in defense of Bizerte and
TuniS with crack German units.

NAKED after this war.
Seekers After the Best.
There are two kinds of young men
in the world. One group, alas, is
shanow-minded, pleasure-seeking,
sense-cultivating. They live for the
moment, never seeing beyond their
noses and satisfied with trif1es. So
ciety regards them as a load and
problem.
But there is larger, nobler group
OF youth who dare to desire and to
dream greatly. They seek to cult
vate their own higher capacities
They think and feel deeply. They
want to get the best out OF their
years, and to put the best into them.
They are ambitious to be and to do
their utmost. They stand for the
best causes and for the highest
ideals. They are always patriots
and usually Christians.
This spark OF diviner manhood
was in Peter. and John. While they
toiled at their messy nets, drenched
with the waters of the lake, and
smelling OF the fish they handled
just common workingmen-they had
thoughts of their Nation and of the
Book that revealed Gods will for
them. When they heard of the
stern new teacher, John the Bap-
tist, who was drawing crowds to the
Jordan. they beached their boats,
and put on clean, dry robes, and
trudged afoot from Galilee over the
hills and down to the deep Dear Sea
depression. to learn for themselves
more about this man and his mes
sage. And what they heard made
them disciples of the baptizer.
From Good to Better.
Many of us are monkey minded
restless and chattering, ever critical
OF what is. and doing nothing to
make it better. A common COM
plant of such is about the church
which is not good enough for them.
Peter and John are examples for us.
