WINNING ARMIES CALL FOR MORE
 SHOT AND SHELL

COLUMBIA, S. C., Nov. 1.-The demand for artillery ammunition is so great hot shells are being loaded into freight cars for shipment over seas as soon as the TINT inside hardens
 War Mobilization Director Jimmy Byrnes is said to have made this disclosure in an address prepared for Arlnistice Day.
 We must not now let pride in our accomplishments blind us to the magnitude of our needs" Byrnes cautioned, explaining "our present military shortages are not the prod- uct of our failure or our mistakes. They are the product of our suc- cesses. We are running months ahead of the military timetable and as a result we must obtain from our war factories materiel not sched- uled for production until next March"
 The Armed Forces need heavy ar tillery and mortar ammunition es- pecially, Byrnes related. General Ike Eisenhower's troops currently are drawing upon their reserve SUD- plies he said. In the Pacific, Gen. MacArthur's forces used as much 1O5 millimeter ammunition tn S month as they did all last year.

TWO STATES
 UNDECIDED
 IN ELECTION
Service Vote May Be De- eiding Fdetor in Missouri
 and Pennsylvania
(By Associated Press)

Missouri's Senatorial and four Congressional contests are still in doubt as the counties proceeded with the counting of servicemens ballots. A tabulation gives an esti- mated 85,000 absentee ballots, in- cluding about 75,000 soldiers. The count is proceeding so slowly final results may not be known until next week.
 AS the counting progressed, Re- publican Governor Donnell's lead over Attorney General McKittrick Democrat, in the Senatorial battle, was willing away. Servicemen s votes already tallied trimmed Don- nell's margin to 5.859 from 8,239, the plurality given him by civilian balloting Tuesday.
 Tn Pennsylvania, too, the ser- vice votes could swing the tight Senatorial race either way between Democrat Francis Myers, who is leading Senator Davis. Republican, by 1888 votes. Civilian votes in only three, precincts are unreported Pennsylvania's service votes are to be counted November 22.
 In the closest Presidential mara thon since 1916, in popular vote, Roosevelt won 36 states and 432 electoral votes; Dewey, 12 states and 99 electoral votes. Roosevelt's 's lead stood at 3,083,151 votes last night, with 8.153 precincts unre- ported. Roosevelt got 24,307, ,59a votes. and Dewey q 1,224, ,447. In five states the President won a larger plurality than Willkie did in 194O.

H. |. FAULKNER GIVES
 INTERESTING TALK TO WORLD SERVICE CLUB

The World Service Club met last night in the Parlors of the Nor thern Light Presbyterian Church and H. L. Faulkner spoke to the group, giving a very interesting talk on the Bible.
 The speaker said, in part, that the Bible had long been best seller, but most of us are un- familiar with it as a whole. We remember scattered excerpts from our Sunday School days. and have no idea of its general plan"
 He said that the Old Testament gives not only the history of the Hebrews, but also tallies with the ancient history of all countries Books of History, Law, Prophecy Psalms, Proverbs, and classifying the books of Job, Esther, Ruth, and Songs of Solomon as Idea books MT. Faulkner said the Bible is a record of human experiences ot that time, and that its so-calleo inconsistencies are only the incon- sistencies of human nature re- corded there.
 The New Testament is the story of "the most successful life ever lived on this planet" he added.
 As the greatest book of literature he stated that the King James version was written during the time when the English Language was purest, and that it has been called a Well of English; that it has served as source book for all authors of great literature. He cited the Book of Job as great drama, telling Jobs story. He gave many quotations to probe the beauty and purity of language used, saying the poetry of the Bible has been unsurpassed.

The pledge that it shall not happen again" was the keynote of the nations observance of Armistice Day which found the world still locked in it's bloodiest conflict and with new victory still to be at tained.
 The United States and it's Allies paused only briefly to honor the heroes, both living and dead, and pledge a lasting peace. This was voiced by the American Legion's Commander, Edward Scheiberling.
 Traditional ceremonies at the Unknown Soldiers tomb in Ar lington were held. President Roose- welt looked on as aides placed the customary wreath on the grave.
 Scheibrling asserted America had broken it's promises to the Un- known Soldier and his comrades of World War One. He added, this time we do not say it must not happen again; this we say, under God, it shall not happen again."
 In recently Liberated Paris, Prime Minister Winston Churchill joined Gen. Charles de Gaulle in tribute to the war dead at the Arc de Triomphe. It is the French nations first Armistice Day observance in five years.
 Memorial services were resumed after five years at the Meuse- Argonne Cemetery in France, where 14,000 American soldiers found their last resting place.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Gt. Col Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON-One of the most important documents bearing on the postwar world soon will be issued by the British Government in the form of a White Paper. It will be a survey of Britain's fin ancial position and frank admis- sion that she is bankrupt.
 The White Paper will tell in de- tail how British investments throughout the world have been liquidated to pay for the war and will come to the conclusion that, if the British Empire is to continue free trading, she must have outside help.
 The alternative to free trade and free competition, the White Paper will say, is a system of barter, restricted trade and cartels, such as that practiced by Germany after the last war. International cartels, of course, have been blasted publicly by President Roosevelt and one British corporation, Imperial Chemical Industries, already has been prosecuted by the Justice De- partment on charge of conspir- ing with the du Fonts before the war to control the world produc- tion of certain chemicals.
 According to inside word from the diplomatic corps, the publica- ton of Britain's frank survey of her bankrupt financial position will coincide with the secret confer ences now taking place here be- tween Lord Keynes and U. s. of- ficials regarding the renewal ot lend- lease.
 With the war in Europe nearing close and with U. s. forces now getting greater proportion of war supplies direct from the United States, British war needs for lend lease ase dwindling. However, the British nave proposed, in Lord Keynes private conversations, a new type of post war lend-lease whereby the British could resell goods to foreign countries in order to re-establish their export trade
