Delivery of the annual flood of
Christmas gifts and cards is always
serious problem but this year it

cars by the hundreds have been

Allies Reach Nazi

German prisoners as reporting the
Nazi high command was trying To
hold back the Allied march toward
Rome on a line at the Sango on
the east, at the Garigliano river and
adjacent high ground on the west
and in the Apennines of central
Italy.
Even the prisoners doubted the
German ability to hold in view of
the Allied advance, which carried
Montgomerys forces into the towns
of Paglieta and Torino, within a
mile of the Sangro and overlook
ing a siX-mile stretch of that
stream.
Capture of Torino put the Eighth

push from Termoli to Pescara,
whence major lateral highways lead
toward the Italian capital
Reports to headquarters indicat-
ed the Nazi high command was de-
termined to hold the allies some
where south of Rome by all possible
means, as much for propaganda
purposes as for military considera-
tions.
On the Fifth army front, the
Americans and British met stiffer
resistance, including an attempted
counterattack west of the town of
Galuccio, which was. crushed by
artillery and mortar fire before it
could get underway.

De Marigny's Wife
Testifies in Trial

NASSAU, Bahamas, Nov. 9. CUP)
ALFRED de Marigny concluded his
defense against charge that he
killed his multi-millionaire father
in-law today with the fearful, halt
ing testimony of his 19-year-old
wife, Nancy, the daughter of his
alleged victim.
Justice Sir Oscar DAILY then ad-
journed court until tomorrow when
the defense will begin its final
plea to the jury for her husband s
life, followed by the crowns plea
that the ~ men who have listened
to more than three weeks of testi-
mony, send her playboy husband
to the gallows.
Nancy was the nth and final
witness for the defense and her
mission was to neutralize the testi-
mcny given by her mother, Lady
Eunice OakeS, for the prosecution.

To deliver the Christmas mails on

fences of late shopping if they buy

a better choice of merchandise than

But for Hitler's refusal. it was
reported, the general staff would
have carried out a general retreat
to the Carpathians where a solid
right flank could have been estab-

hurled back to the same area with
tremendous losses.
Once again, the Germans were

Fifteen planes were seized intact

The u. S. Army can now be
known as the army of a thousand
generals, the exact total as of July
|. last count, being 1865. Only 45
of them have the rank permanently,
all the other 1920 being temporary
appointments. OF the 1855, only
five are full generals, 25 lieutenant
generals, 271 major generals and
764 brigadierS. Nearly all of them
are regular Army men, the eXcep-
tions being 18 from the reserve
corps, 80 from the National Guard
and nine promoted to stars after
being commissioned to lower grades
from civilian life.
Two years ago, the Army had
fewer than $50 general officers,
but at that time there was one
general for every 4200 men while
today there is one general for
every 6400.
Your government sometimes finds
strange ways to do things, as you
NAV have heard. In one depart
ment they put out a telephone
directory which, through some
strange mixup that will happen in
the best regulated plants, came
back from the government print
ing office with hundreds OF wrong
numbers. The type had been hope
lessly pied and the errors simply
hadn't been caught. The printing
office was in a terrible jam any
way, being overloaded with work
and besides, the books had already
been distributed. Somebody then
came up with the bright idea o.
changing all the numbers to fit the
typographical errors in the dlrec-
tory and that's what they did.

XMAS TREES

The Christmas tree supply situa-
ton for this year doesn't look any
too good. There's a shortage OF
cars to move the usual supply from
the Canadian woods, and a short
age of cutters in the woods to chop
EN- down, all ak wielders being
needed TO cut timber and pulp wood
for paper making and other essen
tial industries. Christmas trees
aren't considered essential. Smaller
communities may not have much
trouble if there is a local supply OF
nursery stock. Cne way to beat
the rap is to plant a small tree IN
your yard now, then figure on
digging it up-if it doesn't die on
YOU and the ground isn't frozen
too hard-the night you're ready to
start trimming.
