& POVESTNI DEL &

Preiskava med gosti je bila
seveda brez uspeha. Iznenada
sem opazil, da Sc mi je Almira
spet priblizala. Potem me je
vpraSala z glasom, XII mi je I'VE
mel cisto tuje:
Ali Sc yam Sc zmeraj zdi, da
me ljubite2"
Izprva sem pomisljal, potem
pa sem dejal:
"Da, Sc zmerom. PRAY tako
kakor pref"
"Tudi pc tenn, kar Sc je pray
kar zgodilo?'
PA hi me vzlic temu well "a
aeno??"
"Takoj, &c lie hocete."
Pc vrocem pogledu, ki ga je
uprla vame, sem Sele doumel,
kako neodoljiva, mad vsemi clio
veSkimi in prirodnimi zakoni w
viSena je moo zenske! Skorai
srecnega sem Sc cutil, skoraj po-
nosen sem bill ma zlocin, XII sem
ga prikril.
Glasno klicanje me je zbudilo
z tega sanjarenja. Nadzornik
smith in gospodinja sta priSla
magoslavno v salon in poveda-
a:
Biserno ov-atnico smo dobi-
i,-Tudi krivca smo odkrili!"
Komaj sem mogel razumeti tc
besede in 81 ogledati mrlisko
bledi obraz nekega sluge, ko me
ie prijela Almira "a roko in me
odvedla V salon. Potem mi je pa
ola okoli vratu in mi Sepnila:
"Tatica tie obozuje! Zdaj imam
dokaz tvoje ljubezni zdaj ii
verjamem!"
In te besede je potrdila z vro-
elm poljubom.
Dodal bi lie Sc to, da sem dobil
V Almirinem zavitku Flat prstan
in diva koScka cokolade. Cokola-
do sem pojedel, prstan sem 81
nataknil ma roko, Almiro pa sem

Takoj SO preiskali sluzincad,
in nadzornik Smith, star sodni
svetnik, je takoj s%vetoval, mai Sc
dajo vsi gostje prostovoljno pre-
iskati. Ia predlog je bill seveda
neprijeten, toda nihce Sc mu nj
uprl.
Medtem ko je incl nadzornik
Smith Sc opravka S sluzabniki,
sem Sc pridruzil nekaterim go
stom, XII SO Sc pogovarjali 0 ne
prijetnem dogodku. Iznenada pa
sem zacutil, da Sc je nekdo rahlo
dotaknil mole rame. Obrnil sem
Sc: "a mano je stala Almira. Gle
dala me je prosece in zmedeno.
Nekoliko V zadregi sem sci "a

Mia:

"Cutil sem, kako mi je VISA kri
;astala V zilah. PrestraSeno sem
'oglcdal Almiro, potem pa sem
'e poizkuSal kolikor mogoce
,rez zadrege nasmehniti in sem
Hrav tako nitro odvrnil:
"Razumel semi

"Nadzornik Smith je pac MOI,

Potem je nastala spet popolna
tiSina. Tisina, XII mi je bila ne
navadno mucna, cedalje muc-
nejsa.
Prisel je trenutek, ko sta
Smith in gospodinja spet stopila
V soho. Srce mi je obupno raz-
bijalo in biti sem moral bled ka-
kor lid. Toda potlacil sem svoje
razburjenje in z glasom, XII je
hotel zveneti mirno, sem prosil,
da me prvega p~reiscejo.
NadZornik Smith Sc je Smejal

me takoj ~preiskal. Ko je bilo
preiskave konec, sem Sc umak-
nil nazaj. Stall sem craven AL

Zacutil sem dotik njene roke,

Churchill je obenem razodel.
ola Sc je V Teheranu razpravlja-
10 0 ruskem predlogu, da dobi
Poljska kot odSkodnino "a IL
gubljeno ozemlje Vzhodno Pru-
sijo, Pomeranijo in Slezijo. To
je torej skupna in slozna politi-
ka treh svetovnih velesil - pod
pogojem seveda, da je tudi Roo
sevelt V Teheranu pristal ma to.
Use to pa je vec kot verjetno,
kajti Roosevelt je izjavi1, da Sc

Ike, da sprawl v javnost VISA la
tentna sporazumljenja glede W.
hodne Poljske, ter tako ovrze
sklepe teheranske conference.
Kako tezko je raztolmaciti Po-
ljakom V Londonu, kako zadeva
stoji, je razvidno il Churchillo-
We opombe: " teku zadnjih ted
nov sva z zunanjim minstrom
tezko delala, da bi skupaj S poll
sko Waldo V Londonu ustvarili
prakticno izvedljivo solucijo..."
Clovek, XII je tako velik izvede-
nee in umetnik stilizacije, kot
Churchill Sc ne DO posluzil IRA
"a "tezko delala', ako ne bi bill
hotel S tenn nekaj povedati.
Tudi vse ono, kar je Churchill
izjavil glede marsala Tita, je
pravo razodetje. To je bio prvic,
da je najvisja avtoriteta Velike
Britanje uradno podprla obto-
zbe Tita in Rusov prot generalu
MihajloVicu. Cetniki SO sodelo-
vail z nacisti. Zdaj ne more biti

V%erjetno je, da Sc bodo zdaj
prerekanja 0 poliskem in jugo-

pomirila. Toda debata glede TIA

Y govoru, XII ga je incl pre-
mier Churchill dine %. feb. v an
gleSkem parlamentu, smo doslei
porocali najvec glede njegovih

Bill je to eden izmed najvaz-

zornost javnosti spor med pred

To kajpada pomona Churchill

sameznostih petih problemov, XII
SO: /. Vprasanje zahodnih ru-
skin meja. 2. Bodocnost Poljske.
3. Vprasanje Jugoslavije. 4.
Vprasanje Italije. 5. Bodocnost
Nemcije.
Vprasanje ruskih meja ma "a
hodu gre seveda dalec preko
spornih meja V vzhodni POLISH.
Iu gre tudi "a baltiSke drzave in
"a Besarabijo ter Bukovino. v
tenn pogledu je Churchill ~iziavil
kratkomalo naslednje: "Nikakor

ske zahteve glede varnosti v po-
gledu njenih meja ma zahodu
pretirane ali Ga bi Sic preko te-
ga, kar je umestno in pravicno."
Drugace in V drugih besedah
povedano, prikljucitev teh oze-
melj k Rusiji je V Angliji spre-
jeta.
V nasprotju S prejsnjimi liza
vami, XII SO trdile, da Stain v

je usoda Poljske priSla v raz-

central sector of the Italian front
and have occupied the villages OF
Castelnuovo, Fornich and La Mon

nounced today.
Just east Of Florence, in the
Pontassieve sector, 9th Army forces
have made good progress toward

established on the western slopes Of
Monte Fecchieta."
In the 5th Army sector west of
Florence continued patrol activity

Polish patrols of the 9th Army
penetrated more than mile beyond
the Metauro River in an exploration
OF new German defense lines in the

The Allied command, in state

Soldier Vote Estimated
Al 9 Pct. Of Total
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-If the
admittedly conservative estimates of
most State election officials are cor
rect, approximately 9 per cent OF
the votes in the November election
will be cast by men and women in
the armed forces.
An Associated Press survey deter
mined that some 100000 applica-
tions for absentee ballots have been
received from battlefronts, ships and
training. camps, with thousands of
others engulfing employees in nearly
all the 48 States
Estimates of the number of GI
votes to be cast in each State
indicated Nationwide total of at
least 100000.
Only nine States have up-to-date
registration figures. These, with
recent primary election returns and
estimates based on the last presiden-
tial election, point to a total of
100000 persons qualified to vote
in November, compared with the
49,548,221 who voted for major party
candidates four years ago.

force, consisting chiefly of E and
U boats, are based there. Con-
siderable German shipping also was
said 10 have arrived there from the
Bulgarian ports of Varna and
Burgas. The expectation in Cairo
was that the Germans would scuttIe
their ships.
Russia's offer of co-belligerent
status to all Romanians willing to
fight the Germans and Hungarians
hastened a complete collapse of
Nazi rule in the Balkans ana i'm
piled recognition Of Romania's right
to Transylvania, Associated Press
Correspondent Daniel de Luce
cabled from Moscow.
The Soviet Foreign Commissariat
made it clear that Romanian troops
would be welcome Allies either in
helping drive the Germans from
Romania or IN attacking the Hun
garians through Pennsylvania.
Russia Gives Pledge.
Russia thus gave backing to Ro-
manias announced intention of re-
gaining this lost territory.
The Soviet government has dis
avowed entirely any desire to ac-
quire Romanian lands, to infringe
on the kingdoms independence or
interfere with its internal affairs.
There have been some reports
still unconfrmed, that Romanian
forces have begun moving into
Pennsylvania. although the Hun
garian radio asserted all was quiet
there.
London Foreign once quarters
hailed the Moscow statement as
very good news" Other London
sources thought it highly possible
that with Romania pointing the
way Bulgaria. Hungary and Fin
land would all quickly desert Hitler
Capitulation of the Balkan coun-
tries would make the German mill
tary position in Yugoslavia and
Greece untenable.
Bulgaria's hope of hanging on to
territory she grabbed in Hitler
division of the Balkans has been
one Of the chief obstacles to a
surrender agreement with the
United States and Britain.
Greece vociferously opposes any
such condition, demanding return
of both Thrace and Macedonia. A
Cairo dispatch said the exile Greek
government there demands that Al
lied forces occupy Bulgaria as
punishment for crimes against
Greeks.

Schaefer, director of the National
Committee of Independent Citizens
for Dewey and Bricker, yesterday
called Sidney Hillman's bid to relig-
ious leaders of all creeds to support
President Roosevelt a striking dem
onstration of Communistic think
ing"
In letter to priests. ministers
and rabbis, made public by the
Political Action Committee Wednes-
day, Mr.. Hillman appealed for un-
derstanding of the PAC's aims and
objectives, which he said could be
realized through reelection of Mr.
Roosevelt and the election of a pro-
gressive Congress"
Declaring the letter illustrates
the contempt in which America S
ultra radical foes hold the Nations
religious leaders" Mr.. Schaefer said
. Religion and the CIO are as far
apart as the polls. The clergy is
more sincere, self-respecting and
loyal than Hillman and his fellow
travellers suspect. Religion will not
fall into Red trap baited with his
inSincere words"
