(UP)-British armor and in
fantry plunged forward more
than two miles against weak
ening resistance Monday to
within three and one-half
miles of IS Hertogenbosch,
hub of the biggest transport net
work in south-central Holland.
Lieutenant General Sir Miles c..
Dempsey's Second army forces, ad-
vancing under cover of a 200-gun
bombardment through the gray
autumn gloom. were clamping an
assault arc on IS Hertogenbosch, the
capture of which would imperil the
stubborn Nazi stand in southwest
ern Holland.
TO CLEAR ESTUARY
The British push on S'Hertogen-
bosch gave powerful impetus to the
Allied campaign to clear the Schelde
estuary and open up the sea lanes
to Antwerp. Canadian forces had
captured Breskens and Draaibrug
main strongpoints on the south bank
of the estuary, and all but one of
the German batteries on north shore
had been smashed.
Some 90 miles northeast of Ant
werp, British second army troops
pushed to within five miles of the
key Dutch communications center
on five mile front against increas-
ing enemy resistance
The American First army, round
ing up enemy stragglers northeast
of newly captured Aachen, reported
the Germans had begun using rcbo,
bombs III quantity in the Aachen
sector for the first time on any fight
ing front, presumably in an attempt
to throw any American preparations
for an attack across the Cologne
plain off balance.
PATTON CLEARS PATH
Lieutenant General George S.
Patton's Third army ironed out the
German bulge southeast of Metz
with the occupation of Coincourt
and Bezange La Petite. 30 miles east
Of Nancy and 35 miles southwest
Of the German stronghold of Saar-
brucken. Street fighting was raging
in Moncourt, a mile beyond Coin
court and Bezange La Petite.
Patton's gains, ranging up to three
miles along siX-mile front, routed
the Germans from dominating
heights where they had been harass-
ing the Americans with barrages
from 88-millimeter gun batteries.

ON SATURDAY, May 20, 1914,
" the Communist party of the

editor of the Daily Worker recorded
in print-the same 400, on motion of

Penicillin is equally necessary as a life

So what the CIO strikers in the Parke-

The Parke-Davis strikers realize this
but apparently they just don't care.

Board, they fatty said so as follows:

Detroit's Gripping war plant strikes
cannot be halted by any agencies or
powers resident here.
Similarly appeals to reason and
to patriotism appear to have no
effect whatever upon recalcitrant
workers once they make up their
minds to strike.
Last week the foremen's union
defied every local effort to get them
back to work although they knew full
we'll that their strike was seriously
handicapping production of essential
war products in Detroit factories.
They stood pat until the govern
ment in Washington finally reared
up on it's hind feet and got tough with
them.

adamant in the face even of repeated APP

THE situation of all prisoners of

japanese is bitter and dangerous,

V The bulk of our men in the hands

its policy of neglecting the Pacific

But the BADLY WOUNDED

The japanese would agree to an
exchange of wounded prisoners if the
proposal were made to them through
neutral channels.
But first a commission authorized
to make the proposal and arrange the
exchange must be created and this
has not been done.
Creation of such a commission has
been urged upon the administration
and Congress by the Bataan War
Prisoners Relief Association.
THE House of Representatives has

resolution in which the suggestion
was put forth that the commission
be headed by Joseph G. Grew, for
