One bandit fired. Gaby fell. The
sidewalks were crowded, for this was
a bright morning. People surged for

held them away. The other cut the
satchel from the chain that held il

Another man emerged from the car
with a revolver TO cover the retreat of
his companions and soon all four

inside they were covered by red
headed killer who fired into a gath
ering crowd. They rolled away, leav
ing six men dead and eight wounded.
Then the Surete began getting
some definite breaks.
A raid on an anarchists den yielded
three men and two women. From
them they got information that led
to the arrest of Soudy, carpenter, as
the redheaded gunman of Chantilly.
They got Dieudonne and La Science.
But Bonnet and GARNER were free.
In the search, M. Jouin, deputy
chief of the Surete, followed a trail 10
a house at Petit Ivry. Unarmed, he
went up rickety stairs to a dimly-lit
room on the second floor. AS he
reached the landing the gloom was
cut by a powder flash. A sergeant
ran to JOHNS rescue, but bullet
toppled him over the banister dead
Another shot finished Jouin.
Police traced Bonnet 10 a nearby

with Russian named Dubois. Even
200 riflemen couldn't diSlodge them.
So NJ. Lepine, Project of Police, got
a farm wagon and loaded it with hay
Mattresses were hung over the bales
to shield two men and the cart was
backed toward the house.
Shot after shot was fired by the
bandits. But the wagon got safely
next to the house. Dynamite was
planted in a crevice, a fuse attached
and the wagon withdrew hurriedly.
In five minutes Bonnet and Dubois
were blown to eternity.
GARNER was disposed of at Nogent.
SURNAME, where he tried TO fight it
out in a house. A blast of melinite

 edy in English Village

LONDON, Aug. 23.-An American bomber crashed, flaming, at the Lancashire village of Freckleton, killing at least 50 persons, 34 Of them being small children who were at church and in school and the toll may be much higher. Three American soldiers were also killed.

 American troops joined in rescue work in the flaming wreckage, one of England's worst sky and ground tragedies. Some of the dead are children evacuees from London tiny fugitives from Hitler's robot bombs.
 Eyewitnesses said the whole cen ter of the village of fourteen hund- red inhabitants became a sea of flames" One soldier near when the plane crashed said, the whole scene was like battlefield"

MAKING STUDY OF CONDITIONS IN
 THIS SECTION

finders Fjelstad, member of the Norwegian Embassay, Washington, D. O., in Juneau to study conditions in this section of the country with members of the Forest Service, left for Petersburg and Ketchikan this morning aboard the Ranger TX, with Harold Smith, Administrative As- sistant for the Forest Service. They are expected to return here next Sunday.
 MT. Fjelstad, it is understood, is extremely interested in the manner in which Alaska industries are con- ducted, particularly the timber and fish industries He is also 1nvestl- gating the possibilities of obtaining large quantities of Sitka spruce seed in this section of Alaska at the close of the war, which seed will be used for the restoration of large portion of Norwegian forests which are be- ing devastated by the invading Ger mans. This, MT. Fjelstad feels, is a matter of particular interest Tor Norway as the foundation of the country is largely based on timber and fish.
 MT. Fjelstad is the Norwegian rep resentative on a number of the in- ternational commissions dealing with food and refugee questions, which questions center in Washing ton. Before the war he was the Norwegian member of the Interna- tional Institution of Agri6(llture with headquarters in Rome.
 While in Juneau he is also con- ferring with H. L. Faulkner, the Norwegian Consul for Alaska.

ROBERT R0UzE, JAP PRISONER,
 SENDS MESSAGE

A postal card from Capt. Robert E. Rouze, son of the late Frank F. Rouze, Pacific Fruit Representative in Juneau, recently brought joy to his sister, Mrs. Graham B. Steele, of Seattle.
 Rouze, who is interned in Jap anese Prison Camp No. in the Philippines, wrote:
 T hope everyone is well at home. I miss you all very much and hope to see you soon. Tell Dick and Bob that we ought to be able to get a boat and tour the world after the war, if they save their money now. Give my love to the family and friends"
 Capt. Rouze, graduate of the University of Washington, was trained as a reserve officer and commissioned a Second Lieutenant in 1940. He was caught in the Japanese invasion of the Philip pines. He reported that the last time I saw my automobile was when I went to the camp. It was on the end of the dock" in a communication sent home a year ago.
 Rouze was employed as an en- gineer in the building of the Grand Coulee Dam. He has not been in- formed yet of his promotion to the rank of captain, his sister said.
 Information of the message sent by Rouze to his sister was received here by Roy Gillespie, a friend of his father.

man counter-attack The Germans also are reported to be fighting south of Paris.
 New Advance
 A German report says the 20th American Corps is striking toward Nemours and Montereau, both about 40 miles southeast of Paris.
 Supreme Allied Headquarters said no confirmation has been received concerning DeGaulle's announce ment that Paris has been liberated by it's own citizens, rising to expel the enemy.
 This is presumably only because the capital has been freed from within rather than by the entry of Gen. Eisenhower's armed forces.
 Allied headquarters imply no doubt concerning the accuracy of the French statement that Paris has been liberated.

 The quick advance put Major Gen eral Alexander Patchs spearhead within less than 240 airline miles of the most southerly points, it was officially announced, reached by the American troops below Paris and it appeared that the two Allied French fronts would be joined much sooner than originally thought possible.
 Grenoble is 58 miles southeast of Lyon and is situated on the river leading directly to the Rhone Valley, 30 miles west and is 80 miles or more beyond the last reported Allied positions in Southern France.
 A broadcast from radio France at Algeirs said that the Allied forces are less than II miles from the Italian front, but there is no confirmation of this.
