Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1943-04-01
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Since the solution of the so-called
Second Front problem admittedly de-
ponds on the outcome of the North
African war, the military events in
Tunisia are being followed with alert
interest, for it is really felt that what
is happening here, is fateful one way
or the other.
Winston Churchill thinks that
it will take quite while for the
United Nations to drive out the
Nazis and the Fascists, but he is
firmly convinced that it will be
done.
For some time the actual fighting
has been going on along the so-called
Mareth line where General Rommel
has entrenched himself in positions
so strong that early rumors about
the Americans having penetrated the
line had to be denied. They are,
however, making desperate attempts
to do so, for if Rommel is allowed
to merge his forces with those of
General Won Arnim in northern
Tunisia, the situation will become
more complicated for the Americans
as we'll as for the British First and
Eighth Armies. Just now, nothing
decisive is reported from Tunisia, but
evidently main battle is being pre-
pared; news bulletins have for some
time been so few and so confusing
that it has not been possible to form
a clear picture of what goes on.
Russian Front.
To some extent this is true of the
Russian front, also. In the Ukraine
sector the Nazis have made no i'm
portant progress since they recap
tured Kharkov, but their lines are
holding firm. An analogous situation
exists farther north where the Rus
slams after having recaptured Vyaz-
ma have made not great deal of
progress, but where their lines are
holding against renewed Nazi as
saults.
1t is reported, however, that

And there they learned Of war between Holland
and France. Their ships were seized as prizes and
the men thrown into Jail.
That ended al attempts TO help the lost La Pc

But a curious adventure brought them back to
the notice of the world.
In 1913 an Irishman named Peter Dillon, mate
Of a sandalwooder was attacked by FIJI Islanders.
Most of the crew were massacred but Dillon and
German named Bushart escaped.
Bushart had gone native and had managed to
take his wife with him. He persuaded the captain
to land him on the island of Tucopia in the New
Hebrides right where our men are fighting now.
Dillon went on.
Thirteen years later he was on a voyage from
Valparaiso to Bengal. This time master. Pass
ing the island of Tucopia he remembered Bushart
and his native wife and went ashore to call on
them.
While visiting with Bushart he noticed bright
object glitterng in the sunlight on the roof post
of his old shipmates hut Whats that over yer

and sweet fruits from Tucopa gave out pro-
visions were low and the crew was grumbllng.
There was only enough food to get them
to Calcutta, if they went direct. So Dillon,
hiding the sword ht in his locker, started
home.
But when he got there he forgot all about
his ship He went straight to the authorities
and told them of his find

Dillon was a tough man and one night he
got into fight with the medical officer, Doc
