 The report was attributed to the papers Lisbon corre- spondent who quoted Argen- tine diplomatic quarters as his source. He said the speech would be unusual"
 It added that the Germans had been hoping up to now that Japan would sue for peace first, thus placing the Wehrmacht in posi- tion to say they didn't lose the war but were let down by their Allies.
 The report came as Hitler's own paper the Voelkischer Beobachter, admitted that the next few weeks will decide the war in Europe.
 We are facing the coming bat ties wi cut illu-ions," the newspa- per, Volkischer Beobachter, was quoted in Zurich dispatch as saying while Allied armies stream ed across western Germany and northwest Hungary.
 If we are unable to stem the Allied storms from the east and the west in the next few weeks, then even the individual heroism of the home battlefront will be in vain"
 A German radio commentator at the same time complained that iron army discipline and even court martials were not sufficient to in- duce' the people to continue fight ing in the face of mounting odds.

Householders Grumble
at Misrepresentation

Veterans Administration officials
have received numerous complaints
from householders charging they are
being annoyed by magazine statesmen
who claim they are veterans and are
selling magazines to supply needed
reading material to patients in Vet
Grams Administration hospitals, it was
announced by William L. Limburg,
Manager Of the Baltimore Regional
Office Of the Veterans Administration
He said some of the complaints
charge the alleged eX-serVicemen say
they are selling magazines as part of
a rehabilitation program worked out
and supervised for them by the Vet
Grams Administration others have al
legged they are forced to sell magazines
because they are unable to collect just
claims from the Government and their
condition, as a result of war service,
is such they cannot undertake more
cXacting work.
He labeled such claims as being
utterly without foundation in truth
and said that wherever such state
ments are made they are obviously an
attempt either to perpetrate a fraud
or to make a sale by playing on the
sympathies of a prospect through mis-
representation.

No Decision Made On
Auto Tax Collection

No decision on the collection of au-
tomobile taxes was made this week by
the County Commissioners, who were
in session only one day, due to the
Labor Day holiday.
With change having been made in
the collection of auto taxes by law
passed at the last Legislature, there
was uncertainty expressed here last
week as to whether or not two years.
taxes will be collected in one or
whether two separate tax bills must
be sent out.
When auto license plates were is
sued this year money was collected for
taxes owed for 1914. The new law
makes it necessary to collect 1916
taxes before any 1916 tags will be is
sued, and makes no provision as to
what to do about 1916 auto taxes.

No More Newsprint

The paper ban has been lifted for
books and magazines. They can have
as much as they can pay for, says the
Cumberland Evening Times. No long II
will books that continue to sell go out
of print because the firms quota of
paper has been exhausted. Publish
ers, authors and the reading public
will all rejoice. "What about US 2"
the newspapers will ask. Newsprint
paper is in different class, and there
is no immediate prospect Of charging
the supply. Your favorite paper will
continue to skimp for some time. But
newspapers will take courage from
the luck that has befallen their book
publishing brethren, and hope for a
good time coming.

Squirrel Season To
Open September 18th

Squirrel season will open on Satur-
day, September Is, with advance in
formation pointing to limited num-
Der of the animals running at large,
it was announced by Francis Ruge,
deputy game warden.
According to a number of hunters,
the apparent scarcity of squirrels is
due more or less to the lack of acorns
and hickory nuts and other food in the
woods.
The season will end on October Is,
and then resumes on November Is
when the upland game season opens,
continuing to December 81.
Mr.. Ruge said that the dog training
season was from September 10 to Feb
ruary %, for the benefit of those who
enjoy getting out in the woods with
their dogs.
Reports Of many fish being caught
this summer in Deep Creek Lake have
been made to Mr. Ruge, the three
latest totaling 164 pounds of choice
eating. John Brant, of the Meadow
Mountain section caught bass weigh
ing 612 pounds; while William Jasper,
Pittsburgh, and his son, William Jas
per, Jr,, caught bass weighing 5 3i4
pounds and pounds respectively. Mr..
Ruge said yellow perch appeared plen-
tiful, some being caught which were
Is and 16 inches long.
Fishing season does not end in Deep
Creek Lake until the latter part Of
November.

Firemen Summoned Twice

Oakland Firemen were called twice
in the past week to eXtinguish blazes
that already were out by the time they
arrived.
Some children playing with matches
had caused the first alarm at the barn
on the property of Dclbert Davis, on
Green street, where some hay became
ignited. The flames were beat out by
Mrs. Stanton Whipky.
The other alarm came Saturday
night about midnight when flames
were discovered in an upstairs front
room of the James fowler home on
Second street. The window blind and
draperies were ablaze but were soon
eXtinguished by Mr. fowler. 1t was
believed that lightning some minutes
before had entered the building at a
radiator and had caught some darning
in a basket which smouldered for
time before bursting into flames and
spread to the draperies.

HOSPITAL FOR
WAR VETERANS
POSSIBLE HERE
Organizations Here Presenting
Formal Requests To Veterans
Administration

A concerted effort is being made by
interested persons here to have a new
veterans hospital for western Mary
land located in this county, and for
NAL resolutions are being prepared
which will be presented to he bureau
in Washington by early next week.
According to present plans for vet
Grams hospitals throughout the ma
ton, one is to be located in Western
Maryland. Both Frederick and Hag-
erstown are asking that it be located
there, and a hearing upon the appli-
cations is to be held in the very near
future.
At a meeting of the County Com
missioners on Tuesday they passed a
resolution making a formal request
for the hospital to be located here,
and at a meeting in the city council
chamber on Tuesday night similar
resolutions were prepared by the town
of Oakland and number of organiza-
lions.
A. G. Hesen, l. r. Rudy, Cla 10
Stanton and Neil C. Fraley represc, =
ed the American Legion, Harold II.
Harmed the Lions club; Merle Frantz
the Rotary club; Mrs. George Brown
ing, the Business and Professional
Women's club; and Mayor L. NJ. Fra
ley, the town of Oakland.
Mr. Fraley pointed out that the hos
pital allocated to Western Maryland
would have capacity of 500 rooms
with a personnel of about $50 persons.
1t is designed to take care of veterans
from this section of Maryland and
parts Of Pennsylvania and West Viz
ginia.
At hearing which will be held in
Washington, Mr.. Fraley said the
group planned to point out the numcr-
Gus advantages in having the hospital
located in this county. Climate, recre-
ational possibilities for both staff and
patients, its central location for the
area to be served, its location ore.the
main line of the B. and O., and having
both bus routes on highways 40 and
so, would be listed, he said.
Members of the group felt after
meeting Tuesday night that prospects
were rather favorable for the selec-
ton of Garrett county as a site.
Nothing definite would be known until
after the hearing is held and a COM
mittee visits the various communities
that are interested.
