OLD NAMES RECUR

The old A. E. F. routes are being retrodden. Cher bourg in the last war saw many American soldiers arrive, St. Naizaire, and above all, Brest, now promi -nently in the news and even more Le Mans, safely held, with all the great net work of railways and high ways centering in it, are names repeated day after day in dispatches.
 Le Mans was a great American replacement camp in the last war. All through that area soldiers flocked to Le Mans when relieved from duty, and re- lieved their homesickness by sight of American loco motives and freight cars, towering above the dimin- utive but effective French rolling stock.
 Tours is mentioned often in war communiques now. That is still remembered as the behind the lines head quarters of the Service Supply, which evoked the quip, Mother, take down your service flag. Your sons in the s. 0. s.

with the appeal of four eminent members of the French clergy that the civilian populations of France and Europe be spar ed as much as possible, and that care also be ta- ken to avoid hitting churches, schools, hospital and Tumble dwellings in neighborhoods sheltering women and children No Allied flier wants to hit such marks. The terroriz- ing of civilian populations has never been an Allied aim. The Axis Powers alone have followed such a policy; the Japanese In China; the Italians in Ethl- opia and Spain; the Ger mans in Spain, Poland, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Britain.
 The French appeal asks for more care" This re- quest is legitimate. Our fliers made some tragic mistakes in Italy and oth- CTS elsewhere, apparently because of inadequate ad- vance information. This situation is being remedled. But the danger to civilians in the kind of fighting that has been forced upon us IS unacceptable. Our enemies chose total war, and total war it is. If the United Ma tions were not strong enough to destroy key German cities the Ger mans would now be des- troying British cities and probably trying to destroy American cities. The air war is intended to save the lives of soldiers by making their task easier. The way to end it is to end the war, as is we'll known in Ger many and in the satellite nations. And the way to it forever, after the ar1nis- tice, is to keep down the aggressor and the aggress- i've spirit-forever.-(New Work Times |

bitterly this morning in a major
revolt against the Nazis they had

Just after midnight big fires

The region was completely under
