The really big games lie ahead,

they meet some tough opposition.
Army has looked like a million so
far, but l don't know yet whether
the cadets have a good line or
just one that forms to the right.

The Irish seem to have every

His name if Bob Kelly, and he's
quite lad. A lot of folks think
Randolph Field is just about tops.
Right now, though, it's just one
mans opinion against another's.
You know how that is, joe, as !
know your opinion of me isn't quite
as good as my opinion.
I guess I never told you how
that Chalky Wright-Willie Pep fight
came out, either. Well, Pep won
by two stepping and jabbing, and
lot of the fans didn't like it.
Personally, I think he was pretty
smart, it was his head that
Wright was aiming at, not the fans
and the idea is to win, anyway.
Well, Joe. l. guess that about

clared today that world :

The Netherlands minister of
overseas territories referred to
the activities Of Kent Cooper,
executive director Of the AS
ISOLATED Press, on behalf Of

land the elimination of one OF
the main causes of war
ut is characteristic that all
the aggressor nations have
started preparing for war by
shutting their people off from
free intercourse with other peo-
pies; by instituting a rigid CEN
sorship. and by creating vast

Experience has shown that
a people can be led to believe

1T has become apparent to cor

man supply is better than had
earlier been supposed = much
better in fact" reported Associat-
ed Press Correspondent William S.
White from inside Aachen.
White estimated the Nazis had
last $500 men captured and 1000
killed in their desperate attempts
to recapture Aachen, or approx
mately Is per cent of their attack
ing forces.
West and north Of Antwerp rug
ged Canadian troops steadily over
came difficult weather conditions
and waterlogged terrain in their
job of clearing the enemy from the
banks of the Schelde estuary and
opening up Antwerp, Europe's Sec
'ond port, to Allied war shipping.
A front dispatch said the Cana
dams entered Ijzendijke, siv miles
south Of Breskens on the south
bank of the Estuary, and that the
Nazis had taken new positions on
line running from Schoendijke
westward to Sluis, about four miles
inland.
The German radio said every
thing pointed to a mighty pre-win-
ter offensive by the Allies some
where in Germany or Holland. The
Berlin Transocean News Agency
declared $500 British tanks were
poised in the Nijmegen-Arnheim
bridgehead, waiting only for Ant
werp to be opened up before sfrik-
ing for the Rhine.
British shock troops were aided
by waves of fighter-bombers which
blasted German artillery positions
and machinegun nests at Venray
and attacked a ferry across the
Mouse upon which the enemy gar
rison at Venray is dependant for
supplies.
Hal Boyle of the Associated Press
wrote from First Army headquar-
tiers that the Germans were par
ticularly nervous in the Geilenkir-
chen area 10 miles north of Aachen
and that they spent ammunition
prodically in laying down the
heaviest barrage of the Siegfried
line battle on American positions
in that sector Monday night. -.
The situation remained unchang-
ed on the American Third army
front, where steady rain had fill
ed foxholes to the brim and prac-
tically stalled traffic. West of Metz
the Nazis rugged up loudspeakers
and called upon Yank troops to
surrender within three hours or be
'annihilated," but at the end of
the period nothing happened.
The French First army strug-
Cling through almost impossible
terrain on the slopes Of the Vos-
ges mountains near the southern
end of the 46O-mile front made
slight gains while ,repulsing re-
peated German counterattacks.
