since last year. however, he is CRATE
full of the privilege of meeting you

Resolutions
> Upon entering the work of the
year; one is reminded of the age
old custom of making resolutions.
This isn't bad custom to follow if
are sincerely resolved to keep the
resolutions that we make / think
that one resolution worth making
and keeping is that of attending
Chapel services each Sunday morn
ing when our Army duties do not
prevent our doing SO.
The Army desires to make real
soldiers of all Of it's men and fully.
realizes that man must cultivate
the religious side of his life, as well
as the physical and mental, lest his
character become warped There
fore, ChapelS are provided in Army
camps to accomplish this end. We
are fortunate in having chaplains
who are interested in all of us. So,
for the sake of them; for the sake of
our parents whose prayers follow us
daily; and for our own sakes, let's
avail ourselves of every opportunity
to attend religious services and to
apply Christ-like principles to our
daily living
Pfc. Rucker and Pvt Claiborne are
good examples of men in our Com
pany who are trying to do this.
Let's meet them at Chapel next Sum
day morning. / have no doubt that
We will develop into better soldiers
by doing So.
Helping Others
We cannot praise too highly the
men of our Company and others who
did their part in helping to entertain
the soldiers during the holidays. ~

Reds Make
Firms Offer

Helsinki, Feb. 26-(UP) Foreign
press reports that Russia was will
ing to grant Finland an Armistice
in exchange for a return to the 1910
border and internment Of German
troops in this country aroused keen
interest here today.
Official circles declined to COM
ment on the reported Soviet peace
terms, stressing that they must be
considered unconfirmed because
they come from an unofficial source,
but other Finnish informants
stressed that rumors Of threatening
Russian demands no longer were
being circulated.
The foreign reports, quoting q
non-B British source in London, said
that the Russians would agree to
the continuation of the present
Finnish government in office and
that Red Army troops would not oc-
cupy Finland in the usual sense, but
would enter this country to aid the
Firms in dealing with the Germans
inside the country, agreeing to leave
as soon as the war is over.
1t especially was considered re-
markable here that the reported
Russian conditions for peace did not
demand Finland,s unconditional
surrender. A large majority Of the
Finnish people have held the opin-
ion that such demand would mean
that the Soviets do not want an
agreement with this country.

Moscow, Feb. 26.-(UP)-The Ger
mans rushed endorsements into
counter attacks east Of Bobruisk to-
day in desperate effort to sea-
off Soviet break-through threat
ening Minsk, capital of White Rus.
STA but front reports indicated the
Red army still was advancing.
Gen. Konstantin K. Rokossovsky's
army, which broke through German
lilies on 31-mile front to within
20 miles of Bobruisk, main defense
outpost of Minsk, hurled back Il
separate counter attacks by German
infantry and tanks IN the past "a
hours in one sector and In another,
killed $500 enemy troops.
Despite intensified. enemy resist
ance, the Russians captured several
additional towns and villages.
On the northwestern front, the
Russians neared the outskirts OF
Porkhov on the Dno-Pskov railway
after a 16-mile advance that car
ried them to within As miles east
of Pskov, invasion gateway to Latvia
and southern Estonia.
Gen. Leonid A. Govorov's and Gen.
MARKHAM NJ Popov's armies, clos
ing in on Pskov around an 80-mile
arc, also captured Melnitsy, % miles
to the north; Kebso, q miles north
east; Lapino, 80 miles northeast, and
Gorista, 80 miles east northeast.
The Germans were making their
strongest stand on the Pskov front
Immediately north of the strategic
junction, endeavoring to hold open
the railway and highway from the
east at least until their forces re-
treating from DINO have reached
there.
The Russians continued to filter
through the swamps and forests
north and northeast Of Pskov, how
ever, cutting off fleeing enemy units
and annihilating them. Seven hum
rher were trapped in one pocket
alone and annihilated.
The Soviet high command dis
closed in its mirnight communique
that RokoSsovsky's army advancing
toward Bobruisk killed 5000 Ger
mans in capturing Rogachev, Ger
man stronghold which fell Thurs
day, while booty included So guns,

Allied Headquarters, Naples, Feb.
26.-(UP)-American troops holding
the right flank of the Anzio beach,
head below Rome have thrown back
another German "feeler" attack four
miles east of Littoria, 1t was an
nounced today.
The enemy thrust was another In
series Of light attacks which have
probed nearly all key points around
the 15-mile perimeter of the Fifth
ArmyS beachhead as the Germans
sought a soft spot or hopde to lure
Allied strength from the point OF
the intended main attack.
Ten German divisions - 100000
men-were reported masSing for
third major attack on the Allied po-
sitionS. Meanwhile, enemy attempts
to infiltsate the Anglo American
lines continued along the Anzio
road in the ravine cut areas south
west of Aprilia from which both
previous big attacks came.
AS the general beachhead lull
went into its sixth day, artillery
duels continued on a 24-hour basis
with the enemy hurting large shells
into Anzio harbor. Twenty-Five en-
envy aircraft bombed the front lines
and port areas Thursday night.
On the nuietS British Eighth army
front troops patroling north of Ariel
Ii claShed with the enemy, causing
some casualties. British artillery
broke up an enemy raid in the Or
Sogna area and at another point
near Orsogna, the enemy made three
night attacks against Indian troops.
AL were thrown back. An Indian pa
troll reported that it had killed a
German officer and u soldiers, cap
turing one.
Germans on the Casino front
were repulsed when they attempted
another attack on Fench positions

Washington, Feb 26-(UP)-Sen-
ate Democrats, having dempnstrat-
ed their independence, were ready
today to make political peace with
President Roosevelt If he will meet
them halfway.
They would rather compromise
their differences with the President
than have the White House Con-
gress fight jeopardize in any way
the party's chances for victory in
the November elections.
The general feeling was that If
the President will work more closely
with Congress, submit various
phases of the war and postwar pro-
grams for congressional approval
and desist from further caustic
criticism, he can win almost solo
congressional support-even for a
fourth term. s&
If the President refuses to CONF
promise, however, he can expect the
campaign year to be marked with
further rebellion such as the one
this week which saw Senate Demo-
Gratis win Democratic leader Abeh
w. Barley of Kentucky from his
control and overwhelmingly reject
his veto of the $2,315 ,0O0, 900 tax bill.
A great majority of those who
participated in the rebellion fervent-
" hoped for the good of the party
as well as their own political flu
lures, that the episode has ended

On the Russian front, the Ger

In Italy, they apparently were pre-
pared for another desperate at

the sea of Anzio but their pre!im-
mary thrusts were turned back. The
Japanese took heavy blows over a
wide range Of the Pacific without
being able to retaliate even feebA.
The intensity of the air war on
Germany was illustrated during the
night by q double attack on Augs-
burg, one Of the main centers OF

by the British Royal Air force. The
attackers dropped approximately
1000 tons Of bombs on the city's

Augsburg was only part Of the
