LAP Eeaturesl

The history of Europe $ natural battle-ground . has been written in the blood of battles stretching back beyond the dawn oi civilization.
 The Gauls were the first known conquerors in the age-old battle of France. Then came the Romans in 154 B. O., following the avenue of the Rhone.
 | Four centuries later the Visi- goths, Burgundians and Franks overran France. Norsemen repeat edly invaded from the north.
 Even the Arabs, from the south, once occupied parts of southern France. i In the One Hundred Years War, the British rayaged the channel coast and the northern provinces and took Paris. English and Span- ish invaded repeatedly in the six teenth century while the country was rent by civil and religious wars. i A Spanish army laid siege to Dunkerque in 1852 In l792-93. an alliance which included Prussia crossed the northern frontier. Even Napoleon could not keep out the invader, for eventually he was pressed back by the English,  Russians and Germans to Paris, which was abandoned.
 Paris once more echoed to the tramp of conquerors in the War of 1870, when Bismarck dictated at Versailles the terms of a peace that cost France Alsace and one- fifth of Lorraine. Germany took the highway to Paris again in World War I, but did not quite reach the capital In World War II Germany was more successful Her armies swept into Paris and France collapsed.

PRESIDENT BR0AD(A5T5
 LAST NIGHT

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Hailing the capture of Rome with the ju- bilant phrase ''one down and two to go" President Franklin D. Roose- welt declared the aim now is to drive Germany "to the point where she will be unable to recommence world conquest generation hence"
 In the nationwide broadcast, osevelt cautioned that the struggle with the Axis would be tough and costly, and that the day of Germany's surrender lies some distance ahead" and referring to Rome as the great symbol of Christianity, he said: Tt is a source of deep satisfaction that the freedom of the Pope and Vati- can City is assured by the United Nations armies" He added that no thanks are due to Hitler and his generals If Rome has been spared the devastation which the Germans wrecked on Naples and other Italian cities.
 'The Allied generals maneuvered so skillfully that the Nazis could only have stayed long enough to damage Rome at the risk of losing their armies"

was the mass of airplanes the AL lies were able to put into the sky in weather described as just fair, and two, the absence of German resistance.
 Following this official announce ment the Berlin radio broadcast and DNB dispatch saying strong Allied air attacks have been launch- ed in the Dieppe area.
 The Berlin radio then officially announced that combined British and American landing operations against the western coast of Eur ope from, sea and air, stretches over the entire area between La Havre and Cherbourg" M
 Warnings Issued
 Immediately following the official announcement the invasion of Eur ope had started. the spokesman for Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower in London broadcast to the people of Europe said the coast had been in- vaded and a new phase of Allied air offensives has been started" and warned them to move inland to a depth of 35 kilometers or about 25 miles.
 Then Gen. Eisenhower broadcast to the people of western Europe as follows "A landing has ben made on the coast of France by troops of the Allied expeditionary force. This landing is part of a con- certed United Nations plan for lib- eration of Europe, made in con- junction with our great Russian allies. The hour of liberation is approaching
 Wait for Signal
 Warning was given for the pa- triots not to start anything until definite signal is given, for fear of German reprisals.
 The London radio, in the Dutch language, warned the European underground workers to report .o their leaders with all speed and be prepared for anything. There is a bombardment of the port of Le- Havre already underway"
 ChurchilIs Statement
 British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, in London, declared there are already hopes that an actual tactical surprise has been attained and We hope to furnish the enemy with a succession of sur- prises during the course of the

fighting in the battle which is now beginning and will grow con- stantly in scale and in intensity for many weeks to come and shall not speculate upon it's course.'
 Order of Day
 In issuing the order of the day to the troops, Gen. Eisenhower said: You are embarking on a great crusade. The eyes of the world are upon you and hopes and prayers of all liberty loving peoples go with you. We will accept noth- ing less than full victory"

 erica's entry the first AEF arrived in North Ireland The first big in- vasion tryout came in August, l942, when about 1000 Commandos and Rangers stormed onto the beaches Of Dieppe. Half the attacking party was lost, but invasion calls mount ed nevertheless. Petitions were cir culated by private individuals; and as the seemingly unbeatable Nazis broke through to the gates of Stalingrad, Premier Stalin called a second front vital to relieve the pressure on his armies.
 In November the Anglo-Ameri- cans answered with an invasion of North Africa, and Hitler moved into southern France and frantic ally built Mediterranean defenses.
 But Africa was not the second front Moscow and anxious win-the- waf-in- hurry advocates in Am erica yelled louder for direct in- vaSion of the continent. The Allies answered again with a drive on Sicily and Italy.
 Italy, too, was only a prelude. But late in November, l943, Roose- welt, Churchill and Stalin met at Teheran to mold, it is believed, the final plans for the long-awaited second front. Allied leaders made the definite prediction that 1924 would find invaders breaking down the walls of Hitler's fortress. When and where the front would open became the big question-and jittery Nazis had pointed one day to Norway, then to Denmark, to France, to the Balkans. Then AL lied invasion leaders were an- nounced. American and British bombers ranged along the coasts and deep into the industrial and transportation heart of Hitler's fort. ress. Troops and equipment were made ready for an operation with out precedent in world history Within Europe, millions of down. trodden were waiting underground, Everything, at last, was ready for the second front.

as he intended. 1t happened sud-
denly, almost without warning, and
it began with Tenants trappers.
For centuries the Cree Indians
had held large sections of the back
country as breeding grounds for
fur animals, unmolested by hunter
or traPper. No law, either Indian
or white, enforced these natural
game preserves, yet the tradition
had been respected.
But not by Olsen. Freeze up had
scarcely closed in when the trappers
of Doves school brought word that
not only were Olsen and his partner
setting their lines in the very heart
of tae breeding grounds, but they
were probably using strychnine!
One Cree dog team had slready
picked up pieces of poisoned bait
and fallen victim; Selkirk's chief
trapper had lost dog on the trail
near Olscn's main trap line. Worse

Regardless Of prior rights, Ten
nant's trappers, encouraged by o.
sens example, invaded the richest
trapping grounds, and on two occa-
sions ripped out the traps of In

or throwing them into air holes in
the lake.
At first the Crees protested; then
some said on Doves advice--they
turned to swift retaliation. demol-

The elimination came when q

burned Olsen's cabin, destroying =
store of food and number of green
pelts already caught. Vowing VEN
geance, Olsen began rebuilding, and
! the next morning another Cree dog
team had made their last meal on
whitefish sprinkled with strychnine.
Like wildfire the unrest spread to
remote sections. Clashes on the
trail brought three Indians to Behe-
diets hospital, and the country was
rapidly dividing up into warning
camps. Among the Crees there were
threats against Tenants life; and,
when the white trappers openly
talked of burning down the school,
Dove sent an appeal for protection
to Winnipeg. BY late December, six
mounties had come by plane to
Learmonth-the last patrols from
the south shore of the bay.
None knew where or when the
next fare-up might come, or how
