 Moscow, Nov. 10 = CUP = So- viet military dispatches reported to- day that masSed Russian artillery had opened 8 large scale bombard- ment on the East Prussian and Bal tic fronts in an apparent prelude to a major offensive.
 Semi -offcial reports that the Red Army's big guns had broken the Hull on the northern front followed by . day published forecasts that Russia'S winter offensive from the Baltic to the Danube was about to begin.
 Riga dispatches indicated that the Russians already had launched a major assault against 30 German di- visions pinned against the Baltic coast in Latvia.
 At the opposite end of the front, the Russians had begun a new of Aensive fro ma 45-mile bridge-head on the western bank of the Tisza river, driving toward Budapest from the east while other forces closed against the Hungarian capital from the south.
 
 Dispatches said the Soviets were advancing slowly over troublesome terrain between the Danube and Tisza in the face of unusually heavy resistance. The German and Hun garian armies appeared to have been reinforced in an attempt to save Budapest.
 Armored columns of Marshal Ro- dion Y. MalinovskyIs 2nd Ukranian army swept across the Tisza from Mezoczat to Kiskore, 59 miles east of Budapest, and drove Is miles through stubborn German defenses to liberate more than 50 inhabited places.
 The Germans made eight sharp counter-attacks against one bridge head, in an effort to eliminate the

 London, November 10. - (UP) = Prime Minister Churchill confirmed today that the Germans have been bombarding England for sev- eral weeks with giant, comet like V-2 rockets that plum met down faster than sound from 60 to 70 miles in the stratosphere, but he said cas- ualties and damage "so far" have not been heavy"
 A German broadcast said both V-1 and V-2 robot bombs also have been directed against Paris and Antwerp for several weeks. The ultimate range of the rockets still has not been reached, the broadcast said.
 The Wellsian missiles, estimated unofficially to attain as much as 1000 miles an hour in their final dive to earth, have crashed in wide ly-scattered points" in England, Churchill told Commons in the first official British statement on sem sational German claims of vast de- struction wrought in London by V-2 rockets.
 Churchill said the enemy's high ly-colored accounts" were "a good reflection of what the German gov- ernment would wish their people to believe and of their desperate need to afford them some encourage ment," but declined to give details of such damage as had been caused.
 He acknowledged that the rockets so "outstripped sound" that mo re- liable or sufficient public warning in the present circumstances be given. ?
 There. is. however. no need to exaggerate the Canger," he said. ''The scale and effects of the attack have not hitherto been significant. !"
 Though rigid censorship previous ly had prevented announcement of the bombardment, Britons from the start have dubbed the rockets "fly-

 Washington, Nov. 10 = (U.P0 = Confronting President Roosevelt to- day is the challenging and difficult task of leading, in his next term, the broadest front political coalition of our modern history, ranging from conservatives in the south to Com munistS in the north and east.
 Returns from Tuesdays general election show that the new deal Democratic party virtually has ab- Sorbed the left wing of American politics without losing its hold in the usually solid south. But signi- ficantly the returns also show that the Democrats and left wingers out- side the south could have elected MT.

bass voice, The Water of Life is
Flowing"
Greenberry Watkins had a con-
tract for grading and his two sons
Spencer and Ned were among his
first acquaintance, as Mr.. TAYLOR
worked along Rock Greek and near
Ricketts,, as Derwood was then
called. He was later sent TO Barnes
vile and to Sandy Spring with
surveying parties. Of all the peo-
pie he mentioned in his dairy of
the 1905, very likely the only one
living is Miss Sally Brown, now
well over 80.
With the intolerance of youth,
young Taylor was very critical of
his elders. Montgomery House
had bar attached clark little
room the lounging place for guests
and town loafers." There was
much drinking in Rockville and
many confirmed topers frequented
the dark little bar at Almoney's,
but Mr.. Byers' word was law and
whenever the old boys became too
risky, out they went" even though
they were the towns leading citi-
zens. Some Of them then went
across the street to Tuck Rabbits
bar. Tuck Rabbit also had a
livery stable at that time.
The dairy is full of amusing
incidents: Mrs. Almoney had a lit
tie dog named "Toady"-described
as "a wretched, pampered, lima
tured beast, that curled up on the
dodgers pillows" Coming in late
one night Ernest Carter promptly
kicked it out a window where it
landed first in a tree and then fell
on the head OF "D1nk," the darkey
hostler returning after putting up
belated travellers horse.
"My king, beloved Dink, "now
how did dat dog git up in dat
tree?" and he told Mr.. Byers who
came to investigate the noise,
"Toady done clum de tree and fell
out on top Of mel Next week we
will take you to GAINESVILLE where
Mr.. Taylor stayed with the Brown
family, and took part in the social
affairs of the upper county-after
working long, hard hours with the
surveying crew.

Washington, d. C, July 81 -
Congress is trickling into town to
face a fistfull of items on its cal
endar. However, few if any ma
Jor bills are expected to grind
through the legislative mill until
after election-unless a sudden
ending of the European phase of
the war makes action imperative.
RECONVERSION PROBLEMS
Officials blow hot and cold when
the question of reconversion to
peacetime production is mentioned.
This attitude is quite comprehen-
sible when it is understood that
poor government brass hats are
caught in three-way vice, the
jaws of which are thu armed
forces, industry and the public.
So far agriculture has been left
out on a raft, while the national
economy gets up steam for fast
run down the bay. And unless
agriculture helps stoke the furnace
at this time it may find the going
extremely rough when the winter
winds of peacetime competition
achieve gale proportions.

The National Conference, headed

of harmony, and to avoid confusion
caused by the similarity of names,

can Association of Cooperatives.

isfaction with the way things went

The two organizations agree to

MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
BIZ ELSIE WHITE HAINES-

We spent our spare time this
weekend pouring over a diary kept
by Upton Bell Taylor, an uncle of
Mrs. Walter Mobley and her
brother Thomas D. Griffith, begin
ming September 18th, 1871, when
he was engaged in the survey for
the Metropolitan Branch of the
B. & o. He was only Is and, as
he writes, "full of hope in the
future, ambitious to succeed in
career in which l felt pride and
with the world before seeming
bright and full of possibilities, and
l believed that / possessed that
trait so necessary to success-con-
fidence."
A charter had been obtained to
build this line and some grading
done between Silver Spring and
Washington before the Civil War
stopped the work. In 1869, ac-
cording to Mr. Taylor, a re-survey
with numerous revisions had been
made. At the time he went to work
the grading and masonry was COM
pleted and the track laid to the
bridge being built across Rock
Creek, five miles east Of Rockville,
and the rest of the line to Point
of Rocks, about thirty miles, was
fifty per cent completed.
! Young Taylor did not know how
to run "cross-section" but hv had
received a "fair education, es-
pecially in mathematics" and after
brief examination from the resi-
dent engineer, Philip Pendleton
cambridge, in charge at Rockville,
he became civil engineer of
humble rank-but still civil en-
gineer! He started off as chai.-
man at $50 a month. In the few
weeks he was promoted to first
assistant at $50, and he "felt two
inches taller and his hat grew W.
comfortably tight" He even paid
German cobbler $12 to make him
pair of high boots though pair
of ready-made SO ones would have
done him as WE'LL" But then he
rarely had to spend more than
500 a month including board and
lodging, which was SIS. He really
earned his munifcent salary for
sometimes he walked ten miles to
work carrying a heavy transit.
The Rockville Fair was held
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
Of the first week the young civil
engineer worked. Mr.. cambridge
was chief marshal, very handsome
on his famous black stallion
"Lothair." He took all his men to
the Fair with him.
Living at the Montgomery
House, run by Mrs. Almoney and
managed by Samuel Byers who is
described as a Every popular land
lord" Mr.. Taylor soon became in
innate with John and Will Brewer,
Jim Henderson (afterward Judge),
the twin brothers, Jack and Jim
Carter, whom he could never tell
apart, Burke Almoney, Sandy Kill

emy-Ernest and George Dawson,
