BAIROKO HARBOR, August 26.
Delayed This harbor, the last
japanese stronghold on the New
Georgia Island, fell during the night
to the United States Invasion Force
and with 1t disappeared all serious
enemy opposition in the surround
ing area and eight small adjacent
islands.
The invasion force, made up
mostly of men from the state Of
Washington, under command of
red bearded Col James Dalton, of
Burlington, Vermont, first made Sc
cure the harbor's western shore
after an advance negotiated under
the most horrible conditions inn
agineable.
Every man OF our force was
soaked to the skin as they ploughed
hip deep through foul swamps and
jungles. Many were naked, with the
exception of loin cloths made
from chutes which were used to
drop food, dried cereal and dried
milk. Our helmets were full of
rain water.

The W ashing ion
Merry Go Round
BY DREW PEARSON
tMajor Robert g. Allen on active duty.)

WASHINGTON collapse
of southern Europe caused the Kals-
er to fold up with such speed in the
last war, the U. S. official micro
scope is now fixed on these same
countries more intently than ever.
In September, 1918, it was Bull
garia, Turkey, and Austro-Hungary
which, one by one, made separate
peace with the Allies, leaving Ger
many, her back to the wall, fighting
alone.
Since history may repeat, here IS
a survey of how U. S. experts find
conditions in the key occupied coun-
tries:
RUMANIA = Most likely of all
countries to follow Italy and throw
off its pro- Nazi leaders. Dictator
Antonescu, seeing the handwriting
on the wall, has cooled off to Hit
ler's demands, has gone so far as to
inform the Allies through neutrals
that he has rebuffed Nazi calls for
new Rumanian troops, that he would
be open to Allied overtures.
BULGARIA-fs close behind in it's
anxiety to escape Nazi clutches.
The Bulgarian underground, always
strong, has almost come out into the
open and is executing" more and
more pro-Nazi Bulgarians. King
Boris turned down German requests
that Bulgarian troops be used on
the Eastern Front, warning that
Bulgarians would desert to the Rus
slams. Recently he was reported SO
worried about internal conditions
that he packed his bags and was
ready to flee at the first sign OF
uprising.
NGARY-Premier Kallay has
ordered the return of all Hungarian
troops from the Russian front, ex-
planning to the Germans that they
are needed at home to protect
against an Allied invasion of the
Balkans. Actually, Hungary is much
more afraid of a Russian break
through in Eastern Europe and
would prefer to do business with
the British and Americans.
JUGOSLAVIA = Although the
Chetniks and Partisans still are
rowing between themselves, there
has been a recent tendency to calm
this feud. The downfall OF Musso-
lini and the capture of Sicily has
increased the prestige of anti-Axis
forces and caused both Serbs and
Croats to Jump on the Allied band
wagon. italian troops in Jugoslavia
would desert wholesale if they were
not afraid of being massacred by
the people they have tried to rule.
ALBANIA-Italian rule of Albania
is at the point of collapse, with

I'VE are not an investigating

men.
The committee, Senator Scrughanl
further told the newsmen, is con-
cerned in large part, of ascer-
tanning equipment needed to keep

Half an hour later his thoughts took more

of diamond rings was gone. They were there when
Sophie was in the store. The glow Of pleasure she
had set up in him now turned to rage and he went

Meanwhile, Sophie had emptied the little aga-

womans innocent belongings. She made a COM

checked at the railroad station.

Sophie turned reproachful, tear-filed eyes on

At the police station she was searched and in
her handbag they found the baggage check for the
alligator satchel. The two detectives took Sophie
to the station and the jeweler went along When
the satchel was reclaimed the jeWcler cried out
with relief:

But what caught her eye was a ewelry store
Through the shop window she saw diamond rings
brooches and necklaces reposing on black velvet in
glass counters.
Sophie was positively going straight forever
more but as she looked at those trinkets, she
couldnt help noting the layout of the store and
that If a smart woman did this and that she could
then do thus and So and the next thing she knew
she was IN the store, taking out her watch and
looking across the counter at the elderly eWeler

women are so helpless when it comes to things
like watches, she said with the liquid look and
tones which worked more havoc than Ned LYONS

The watch slipped out of her hand and crashed
to the floor Sophie uttered feminine cry Of
dsmay and the jeweer already sympathetic with
the charming helpless female, got down ON his
