Peace RunOrS
Still UnfOunded

Since last week-end's peace ru-
NOR situation, official washington,
the White House, State and War
departments are remaining very
much on the alert.
There has been no marked
change, according to the White
House, concerning President Tru-
mans statement that the surren-
der was unfounded.
However, the president did an
nounce that he would report the
end Of the European hostilities
whenever anything can be released
officially and with the proper
authority"
This report from the White House
was accompanied with the word
of caution that unauthorized" re-
ports should, In the meantime, be
treated with reserve.
It was also emphasized in Off
cial quarters that the surrender
and the disintegratioh Of the Ger
man forces may be so complete that
within the next few days or weeks,
as to constitute a capitulation
without formal surrender.
The surrender, must be made to
the Big Three without exception.
Washington and London have re-
jected and will continue to do so,
any German attempt to surrender
formally to the United States or
Britain but not to their ally, Soviet
Russia.
The sudden swift collapse of the
German armies and of the Gestapo
control over them is believed to be
impelled not only by the German
Generals but the Gestapo leaders
to the conclusion that further
resistance would be futile.

The Down-River community has
a new city directory, the first since
1941, complete as peacetime edi-
lions and containing three entirely
new features.
Now being delivered to subscribe
ers by r. L. Polk & Co., the direc-
tory is a volume of 872 pages list
ing 35,720 names in Wyandotte.
River Rouge, Ecorse, Crosse lie
township, Riverview and Trenton.
According to the publishers records
this is an increase Of 1854 names
over the 1871 edition. The count
considers the names Of husband and
wife as only one name, and only
those eighteen and over were elig-
ible for listing.
Perhaps the outstanding feature
Of the directory, something new in
this first World War II directory
Of Down-River, Is the generous
sprinkling of names of service men.
All are listed at their home ad-
dresses, with initials to denote the
branch to which each Is attached.
The historical reference value Of
this record for future years is easy
to visualize.
Two other new features are the
designation, by symbol, Of homes

partment giving detailed informa-
ton about leading industries.
