 The long-awaited day arrived. It was April 2 when the me@age came to Eisenhower that Monty's battie-scarrsd British veterans, who fought their way 2ooo miles across the African deserts, had joined the Americans in Tunisia, south Of De- Djebei Chemsi on the 0AfSA. .dabes road, Monty'S gallant Eighth and Patton's Second .. g.

 The combined force swept forward, The total Axis prisoners of the two armies counter i2,00o as Axis forces abandoned Mahares and retreated towards Sfax on April 9. SfaX was captured the next day and on the iith doy thel were 27 miles north ct La Heneha while American troops Stormed and swept through Faid Pass.

 DOMMEL was being beaten at AN his own game, He had only the sea behind him. He must fight to the last ditch or attempt c German "DunkiFk" with what was left of his shattered army. In North Tunisia American troops, in total darkness, captured oil the Djebel Tahent, Hill 600. American troops captured Ma teur, ie miles southwest of Bisertee, after q ib.miie advance through the German position of Jefna to the west.
 The Axis in Africa had come to the end of the trail, On glorious May day (May [, ie49 at 4iiS in the afternoon Bizerte was captured by the U. s. Second Corps aided by the French.

 The death rattle was gurgling In the throats of the mighty Axis. 4 few hours later. on May 10, British forces were advancing up both sides of Cape Bon Peninsula to Strangie Hitier's "Supermen" with c last powerful grip.
 General Eisenhower, at his head. quarters, Issued this statement on May i2: "0rganized resistance, OK. cept in isolated pockets Of the enemy, has ceased, General von Armin, commander of the Axis forces in TuniSia, has been cap. tured."

BANK CLEARINCS
INCREASE HERE

Business activity in Whining
ton continues at and above 1943
figures" D. M. Darden, secretary
of the Wilmington Clearing House
association, said yesterday as he
reported that bank clearings in the
first eight months of 1914 tailed
more than nine million dollars
above those in the same period
last year.
Clearings from January through
August of this year amounted to
1919, 837,963. as compared to
S310,318, 699.74 in the same months
of 1913. Only during three months
of this year did clearings drop
below comparable months OF 1943,
but increases in other periods
pushed the overall average to its
high figure.
August clearings of $46,275, 426
also reflected the substantial in
crease of 1,7ss, s30.Ss over the
July bank business OF $34, 49,
1876. IS. An increase of S9,494, 432. 81
over the August clearings OF 1913

new PRISON SITE
REQUESTED HERE

A proposal by fertilizer concerns
using war prisoner labor that the
old Marine hospital site. at Eighth
and Nun streets, be inverted into
a prisoner of war camp to relieve

reaction from the city council with
in the next few days a fertilizer
plant spokesman said yesterday
CITY Manager A. c. Nichols was
not Immediately available for COM
ment. but another city official, who
admitted the proposition had been
put to the city several weeks ago,
pointed out that the Army had rot
vet released the property to the
city for its disposition.
The Marine base. which was first
converted into quarters for mem
bers of the Women's Army Corps
assigned to the Wilmington 1nfor.
nation and Filter center, later was
used as post headquarters for the
Wilmington Air region. It was dis
closed yesterday by Postmaster
Wilbur R. Dosher that activities
of the WAR mad been discontinued
here and that the basement of the
postoffice formrly used by the filter
center had been released to TIT
postoffice formerly used by the
filter center had been released te
postal department for reassign
ment.
The fertilizer spokesman said tn.
chief reason for wanting the Ma
rine base to be used as a Pow
camp was to have "a camp tina
will accommodate more prison
ers" He pointed out that at pre-
sent there are only about $50 Nazi

road camp, from which labor i

Sunday School Lesson
Two Davids Grew Up-One Was A Warrior
The Other A Man With Tender Affections
Text: 1 Samuel 1915: 11-18

ter and action nevertheless con-
quered, so that he stands in history
as a strong personality, trium-
plant warrior, and a great king
who consolidated his kingdom and
left a mighty heritage to Solomon,
his successor.
AS In the case of Saul the story
of David is full of intense con-
trasts. On the one side is the popu
lar picture of the young shepherd
boy, skilled on the harp, a sweet
singer and a lover Of music, reput-
edly the author of Psalms, to such
an extent h these have been
commonly called 1.-The Psalms OF
David" On the other hand is the
picture of more vigorous young
shepherd boy who had slain both a
lion ard a bear in defending his
flock, a courageous young adven-
turer, as skillful with the sling as
with the harp. Fearless of the
staggering and defiant Goliath
and finding the weak spot in the
giants armor with his smooth, but
deadly, stone.
Both Davids apparently grew up
the one still sweet singer and
lover of the harp, capable of tender
affection in his friendship with JON
athan, magnanimous toward TIL e
vengeful and violent Saul, with pas
sions as deep and as hayward as
his tender affections: the other a
soldier relentless in his pursuits, a
man of the camps and battlefields,
the leader of a disaffected COM
pany, with his headquarters in the
Cave of Adullam, whittier came all
the disconnected of Israel.
Perhaps it may be said of David
that he was born for the times to
lay the foundations of peace d
prosperity through t h e overthrow
of those who were making peace
and prosperity impossible.
The gravest sin of David's life
was his seduction of Uriah' s"wife,
his willingness to cover up this
adultery, and his completely in
murder in ordering Uriah to be
NIT in the battle where he would be
sure to be killed when David's eff
forts to cover up his sin failed. Yet
when the prophet Nathan fearless
ly brought home to David his griev-
Gus, sin by means Of clever
story, and had boldly charged,
.aThou art the man." David rose
to a great height of penitence.
Another notable incident reveals
his greatness. Tired and hot from
the fighting, David had expressed
vague longing for drink of water
from the Well Of Bethlehem. Three
of his loyal followers broke through
the ranks of the Philistines n
brought him a cruise of water from
the well. He was aghast at the
thought that men should so have
risked their lives. He could not
drink the water. made holy with
the sacrifice and danger OF It n
men, and he poured it out as an
offering to the Lord.
That is David at his supreme
height. We shall need many Da'
vids as soldiers turn from warfare
tn rebuild the world in neace-
