Chinese Sever Jap Communication
 Route At Kweilin

CHUNGKING, July 23-R) - Chinese troops tightening the pressure on the former American airbase city of Kweilin, severed the main Jap communication route between Kwangsi and Hu- nan provinces by reoccupying the rail town of Chiehshou the high command announced.
 Chinese troops closed to within eight miles of Kweilin from south west of Chiehshou, forty -one miles northeast of Kweilin. Chinese also overran the road town of Liang- feng fifteen miles south of Kwei- lin in a drive which threatened to cut off Jap forces deployed to the south.
 American Mustangs Supported attacks on the China coast. The communique said Chinese troops are following Jap units heading from Annoy to Swatow and had reached the border of Fukien and KWangtung provinces, which means that Fukien has been cleared except for a handful of Japs at Annoy whom the Chinese expect to leave by sea.

Japs Called On To Surrender Or Fight The World

POTSDAM, July 23-tP-The United States warning to Japan, calling for immediate surrender in broadcast from Washington is viewed as part of President Truman's strategy here to secure American aims in the Far East.
 The broadcast intimating that Jap leaders would not be able to deal with Americans alone unless they surrendered promptly is known to have the Presidents knowledge and fits into the pat tern of Truman diplomacy at the barley with Premier Stalin and Prime Minister Churchill.
 The broadcast thinly yelled the warning that Russian participa- tion in the war against Japan may be imminent as Russia is not now at war with Japan.

Pacific Fleet
 Wrecks Convoy In Outer Tokyo Bay

GUAM, July 23-IR -Ameri- ca's mighty Pacific fleet thrust boldly inside the mouth of Tokyo's outer bay to wreck a four-ship convoy. Admiral Nimitz said car rier planes sweeping over the same waters Wednesday blew the top off of one of Japan's last two seaworthy battleships.
 In all, carrier pilots have sunk or damaged twenty-one enemy vessels. It is the fourteenth con- secutive day the fleet has prowled unopposed off Japan. Significant of the total lack of opposition the fleet is operating in at least two widely separated units, while one light force has ventured farther into Tokyo's outer bay than ever before in this war, another light force of warships bombarded Chi chi Jima five hundred and fifty miles southeast.
 Seventy-five to one hundred Su- perforts added to the clouds of flying debris with four hundred fifty ton demolition strike on the Ube synthetic oil refinery on southwestern Honshu. Crewmen observed excellent results" and all planes returned.
 Movements of the combined fleets of heavy units remained hidden by radio silence. There is no indication of typhoons which stalled General MacArthur's aeri- al thrusts.

 Siebert said a considerable number of guns, ammunition and loot, such as American uniforms, K rations and gasoline vehicles were uncovered but not a sign of an organized German under ground. A lot of the Elite Guard, many of them posing as discharged Wehrmacht prisoners of war were rounded up he said.

spirit, the true Midsummer spirit,
was there.
Many such celebrations includ-
ed boat excursions to some not
too distant place. Sometimes a
large scow was decorated with
birch trees, and the people danced
on the flat bottom. while a tow
boat moved the scow slowly
around the islands, through the
narrows or up and down the river
The music was not always just a
fiddler or an accordion player. Oh
no, the best was not any too good
at such times. and if there was
brass band to be had, it played.
In Seattle, Midsummer festivals
have been celebrated for more
than 80 years. The Swedish Club
sponsored the first one as early
as 1893. 1t was a great success,
and next year another was held
and so on. as the years rolled by.
Some of those picnics were held
on Lake Union, Lake Washington
and on the Sound. wherever the
most suitable grove or park could
be obtained A good many were
held at Fortuna Park and Peoples
Park at Renton Junction and IN
later years at Vasa Park

Sweden Celebrates

HELSINGBORG, Sweden, May
(Bv Wireless) - Throughout the
weekend the usually stolid popu-
lation of southern Sweden has
been in a state of unprecedented
fervor because of the liberation of
adjacent Denmark. On Saturday
evening after a thanksgiving serv-
ice in the Gustavus Adolphus
church here, $4,000 persons took
part in a torchlight parade to the
shores of 0resund, the narrow
passage that separates Sweden
from Denmark AS at previous
wartime New Years celebrations,
a huge bonfire was lit on the shore
as a greeting to the Danish Elsi-
more or Helsingor across the three
miles or so of water.
On Sunday. cheering thousands
of Swedes watched the young
Danish refugees trained as police
men" in Sweden depart from Hell
singborg to Helsingor. The ferry
that carried them was escorted by
Swedish destroyers and also by an
improvised invasion fleet" of mo-
tor launches and fishing boats, all
packed with cheering admirers.
This was a reversal of the pitiable
arrival of the Jewish refugees
from Denmark in 1913.
Over the weekend the Swedish
public schools had a holiday. In
Gothenburg the refugee Danish
school children staged a parade on
Saturday, singing in front of the
American and British consulates
and also before the publication Of
flee of GOtebOrg's Handles och
Sj0farts Tidning, the great Liberal
organ that had bravely defied the
Nazis from the very beginning.

The Flying Dane

I'D rather fly than eat" de-
clares the noted D nj sh flier,
Haakon Christensen of Anchorage,
who has hauled everything from
gold bullion to diapers since 1898.
He has several thousand hours in
the air logged to his credit. He is
sometimes dubbed bush pilot
because he travels through all
kinds of weather, winter or sum-
mer, hauling about anything ar
individual might want moved from
one place to another, at least be-
fore war restrictions frightened up
too much.
Before the war, tourists often
chartered Christensen's plane to
fly them up around Mount McKin-
ley, highest mountain in North
America, so they could take pic
lures. Since the declaration of war
cameras are not allowed in air
planes in this country or Alaska
unless they are locked in a COM
partment where they cannot be
used while in flight, so this type
of service is suspended for the
duration. But when happy days
come again THE Flying Dane" will
again be winging folks through
the air on sky trails of loneliness
for folks on vacations.
