W then Prince OF Wales,
w climbed 10 the top OF the
Great Pyramid OF CheopS in Septem-
bCT, 1927, ana drove P0lT BAN rom
the summit onto the desert sands, one
of the men who saw the strange eX-
plot was William Bliss, a retired
textile manufacturer of Manchester,
England
The Prince made his famous drive
as a gag at the beginning of his
tour of Africa, but it started Bliss on
a deadly serious career of teeing off
from the most incredible spots on
earth mountain tops, glaciers, sky
SeraperS, tcrmite mounds and finally
ended in his death in a boiling
volcano.
When the Manchester citizen sank
from sight into the roaring, White-hot
lava, he had finished 10 years of golf
driving which took him all over the
United States, South America a,
Europe, Asia and Australia He had
conquered every height he had at
tempted TO reach including lofty
Mount Aconcagua in Chile and Popo-
catepetl in Mexico.
The crater which ended his career
was that of Nyamlagira, in the Bel
gian Congo. If he had survived his
attempt TO drive a golf ball across the
boiling lake, he planned to organize
the most ambitious mountain climb
ing expedition in history TO win the
heights Of unscaled Everest and use
the very peak as a golf tee.
Anderson Purdy. a photographer,
who accompanied Bliss everywhere

making golf drives, said the former
textile magnate seemed TO 4eap after
the BALI when il failed TO clear the
chaSm.
Purdy told his story the otheF-day
TO officials Of the Lake Kivu district
Of the Congo in the 10000 foot-high
Nirunga Mountains.
Il knew he was strange" Purdy
said, and feared that his hobby some
day would end in disaster, but aside
from his overpowering desire TO drive
golf balls from high places, he was
the most normal of men.
Il was employed to photograph his

Such things were as important TO

Popocatepetl exploit and 10 Panama

stantially increasing" headquarters
announced, as the American 10
mile wide westward drive pushed
it's armored columns to within
three miles of one key road juno
ton and to within six miles of an
other.
Storming westward from Ste
Marie Eglise, one of Bradley's col
umns reached Reigneville, three
miles from the st. Sauveur road
junction. Taking. this road juno
ton would sever two of the three
roads leading to Cherbourg, Is and
one-half air miles to the north.
A few miles south of the first
column another American force en-
gagged the Germans in desperate
fighting six miles from LIE Haye dll
Puts, the capture of which would
sever all roads on the bitterly con-
tested peninsula.
Ding Dong Battle
The Americans are now within
IL miles of the Cherbourg PENN
sulas west coast beaches, with a
spearhead some II miles below the
port, while Bradleys Yanks still
fought a ding dong battle with the
Germans in the streets of Monte
bourg.
On the Allied right flank the
British engaged in stiff tank battles
with German troops two miles
south of Caumont. This is about
20 miles inland and the deepest
Allied penetration
Tank battles still ragged also
around Caen and lilly sur Seulles
on the Allied left flank.
Weather UnfavOrable
Meanwhile, headquarters report
ed the worst weather over the
battlefields since D-Day, with a
20-mile- northwest wind
blowing on the beaches, the only
place the Allies hold for the re-
enforcement and supply of the in
yasion armies.
Despite the weather, however
United States battleships Texas
and Nevada and the cruiser Angus
ia are reported arching shells deep
inland in support of troops driving
across the Peninsula.
A few miles south of the Ameri-
can spearhead pointed at st. Sau-
weir, another column is pushing to-
ward La Haye du Puts, road juno
ton controlling all the remaining
roads leading to Cherbourg. AM
orleans were last reported about
six miles from this objective.
Germans M,auled
A late dispatch from Gen. Eisen-
hower's advanced command post
said it is estimated that 100000
Germans have been thrown against
the Normandy beachhead, and the
dispatch said four German divisions
have been badly mauled in the
battle.
A German communique said the
Nazis drove the Allies back south
east and southwest of Carentan,
but admitted Allied gains west and
north of Ste. Mere Eglise. They
claimed also that a wedge was
driven into the Allied beachhead
east of the Orne River.

BOND PREMIERE
IS ATTENDED BY
CAPACITY CROWD

The Capitol Theatre, filled to
capacity, was the scene last night
of a super motion picture and the
presentation of the nine beautiful
young women, who are contestants
for the honor of reigning as Miss
Liberty on July Fourth.
Lieut.. Col Roy W. Reigle was
master of ceremonies, presenting the
contestants to their many friends
and admirers. The girls were smart
ly frocked and radiant with the kind
of smiles that makes buying bonds
a pleasure as well as patriotic duty
and privilege. The personality of
each girl easily showed her fitness
to reign over Juneau and Douglas
and only serves to make the choice
of bond purchasers increasingly diff
ficult. Many persons in the audience
expressed their regret that it would
not be possible to have nine Miss
Libertys instead of one.
The next outstanding event will
be the coronation on the evening
of July during the intermission
at the American Legion dance. Miss
Liberty and the -Four Freedoms will
be horlored on this occasion. On the
following day they will preside at
all patriotic functions.
