Danish sources said today
that the Germans were with
drawing the bulk of their
occupation forces from both
Norway and Denmark to
reinforce their hard-pressed
armies on the western and
eastern fronts.
Only sufficient troops abso-

ton of Denmark, we're being left

able sinking of southwark bound
troop loaded German transport

Ten other enemy vessels also were
sunk or damaged severely off
Norway by the carrier force.
The Danish press service, an or

CITES DIsUNfTY

1Zvestia centered its fire on the
failure Of the Chungking group 10
unite with the Communist party
leaders in northern China.
IZvestia said the Communists
have a regular army of 100000
troops and another 100000 or
more partiSans in their territory
who are tying up about half the
japanese expeditionary force in
China.
However, as result Of the
anti-people's policy Of reaction
airy elements In the ruling cir
cles, the Communists found
themselves Outiawed and
get no help from the central
government, but are blOckaded
by units commanded by reac-
tionary generals" the govern
ment organ said.
WHY RETREAT:
IzveStia asked pointedly why
the Chinese were still retreaunG
In view of the large japanese
forces drained off by the Ameri-
can offensive in the Pacific. and
suggested that lack of national
unity rather than a shortage of
equipment was the actual reason
for the Chinese army's reverses.
THE failures OF Chinese
troops have caused anxiety
among the wide masses of the
Chinese people and in the coun-
tries allied to China which. to-
gether with China, are fighting
Japan" Izvestia said.
The Communist party, II added.
is now "a large political force in
the country which can not be ig-
nored.

If you'd like a five-minute pro-
fessional makeup that is the answer
to a busy girls routine-try liquid
foundation.
1t can be poured from bottle and
applied in a jiffy to perk up those
tagging spirits in nothing flat.
Even after a day of toll indoors,
a wan look can be transformed into
a healthy glow.
This quick change is achieved by
the fingertips. Just dip into the
bottle and apply to forehead, nose,
cheeks and under the chin in dot
fashion. Then smooth over face and
neck in one continuous sweep.
1t comes in variety of flattering
shades ranging from rachel to Braz-
ilian, and gives a natural skin finish
whether the shade chosen is one or
two shades darker than the skin
tone.
After you've applied this liquid
use a paste rouge and powder.
