ter. Muzio made the catch and begged the ball home to Urban be- hind the plate. The throw was wide. Parise sensing the play to be made, backed up Urban and fielded the overthrow in time to run down Klein attempting to score from third base for the final out.
 The remainder of the game was strictly defensive. The Medics con- tinued their fine play and error less ball stifed any attempts made by the G-Men to rally.
 To Parise should go most of the honor for bringing home the championship. On the mound and at bat he proved his calibre and outstanding ability to really play ball. Defensively and offensively, Mike Muzio was the big gun for the Medics, His fielding, throwing, ability to get on the bases in both games made him the outstanding player of the series. G. Olexa and Kollar found Gutkowski too tough an opponent to continue their bat ting rampage.
 Sergeant R. Miller is to be com plimented for his ever-present drive in keeping the team together and playing heads-up ball at all times.
 Section G played fine ball and were worthy opponents through out the series. To the vanquished: Better luck in 1945." To the vic tors: "Hail the Champs!"

. WEEKLY CREMATION CHAT
TRENDS OF WAR

Progress of the war is best illus trated by the trend of diplomatic events over the past week. Hereto. fore, Washington and London have handled neutral nations very eau tiously. Nations "on the fence" were treated with due considera- tion to avoid their open acts of friendliness to Germany. With the rising tide of Allied air might and the successful push of Russan armies growing daily, the Allies are now stating their demands.
 Secretary of State Hull sounded the keynote for his new policy in his foreign relations address. Stat. ing clearly and concisely our de- termination to win the war and the peace he assured the people of eur intentions with regard to all phases of the war. This "get tough policy was further evident in the attitude toward Ireland, Turkey, Spain, Portugal and Swe- den. All of these nations were being brought into line.
 Western Europe
 Six days of terror came to West ern Europe. For 144 hours Allied Air Forces maintained a sustained offensive that blackened European skies. From the west and the south bomber and fighters hit repeatedly at air bases, communication cen- ters and aircraft production areas. Climax came with a 4,00O ton RAF raid on France and Belgium.
 Although there was little ground action in Italy, the 18th Air Force and RAF supported the air fleets from England with continuous raids on the Balkans and Austria.
 Russian Drive t..
 Meanwhile, the Russians opened new drive in the Crimea. By the weeks end, they were within strik- ing distance of Sevastopol. Before the onrushing Red armies, rem nants of the German and Ruman- ian armies fell back to the Black Sea, with all hope of escape dwin- ding. Along the Black Sea in the Odessa area, Russian forces had cleared the Dniester estuary of further Nazi resistance.
 Burma and the Pacific
 The situation in Burma cOntin- ned to be grim, although reports from Delhi had not clarified the exact position of the fighting. Im- phal appears to be in immediate danger; the implications of this be- ing that it poses grave threat to our positions in the north. Chung king appeared alarmed at the threat to the long-awaited supply kne-the Ledo road.

Mrs. Gerald Griffin, newly elected
chairman Of the Potomac Camp and
Hospital Council Service of the
American Red Cross, believes that
one Of the best things about her
particular service Is that it enables
every one to do something useful for
the man in the service.
Everybody wants to help the serv-
icemen," she says. But people just
do not know how to go about it.
Camp and Hospital Service serves as
a channel through which they can
work. Through our Red Cross field
directors, who are in every camp and
hospital, we ascertain the real needs
of the camps and the hospitals. As
certain them from the requests of
the men themselves. All requests
are sent to the Red Gross from the
commanding officer himself. Camp

that the requests reach the proper
sources so that they may be an
