everyone that we are face TO face

that might have existed tfa. the
current crisis was temporary, and
emphasized belief that the pleas
ure driving ban on the East was

maybe for the duration.
He said that the break In the

crisis. but that It only fastened

consumption at a rate greater than

WITH THE U. S. TROOPS IN
ENGLAND, Dec. 28-In the biggest
war maneuvers ever held, thousands
of rough and tough battle-eager
young American soldiers are getting
practical training day and night for
the Forthcoming invasion OF western
Europe.
Naval forces, all kinds OF army
units including amphibious infantry,
armored, and air forces, engineers,
and supply outfits are participating
in this massive dress rehearsal. The
operations extend over a desolate
stretch of coast and for miles inland.
The exercises are much more adj
vanced than war games in the Unit
ed States. AS in actual invasion,
troops and tanks stream ashore
under live gunfire, and defending
groups troops and planes are simu-
lating conditions under which Am
orleans will one day meet the Ger
mans.
Casualties naturally result from
these operations. Members of an
amphibious forces were drowned
when a flat bottomed tank landing
craft upset in a 20-foot waves in
attempting to reach the shore. The
waves were so high the drivers Of
the ducks were unable to see where
they were going except on the crest
