a u. S. First Army staff officer
declared confidently:
'The German army no longer is

From the salient thrust up near

Early reports had placed the
British within IL miles of Bremen,
but this later was corrected Of
ficially to 20 miles. This drive
put the British 60 miles southwest

Farther south, tough British
parachute troops drove IL miles

DO We HAVE TO DIE!

Thirty years ago, in Forbidden
Tibet, behind the highest noun
tains in the world, young Eng
lishnan named Edwin J. Dingle
was desperately i'll in mind and
body. A great mystic opened his
eyes. A great change came over
him. He realized the strange
Power that knowledge gives.
The Power, he says, can trans
form the life of anyone. Questions
whatever they are, can be answer
ed. The problems of health, death,
poverty and wrong, can be solved.
In his own case, he was brought
back to splendid health. He ac-
CURED wealth, too, as well as
Worldwide professional recognl-
ton. Thirty years ago. he was
sick as a man could be and live.
Once his coffin was bought. Years
of almost continuous tropical
fevers, broken bones, near blind
ness, privation and danger had
made a human wreck of him, ply
sically and mentally.
He was about to be sent back to
England to die, when strange
message came-'They are waiting
for you in Tibet" He wants to tell
the whole world what he learned
there, under the guidance of the
greatest mystic he ever encounter
ed during his tWenty-one years in
the Far East. He wants everyone
to experience the greater health
and the Power, which there came
to him.
Within ten years, he was able to
retire to this country with for
tune. He had been honored by
fellowships in the Worlds leading
geographical socialties, for his

30 years later, he is still so athletic,
capable of so much work, so young
in appearance, it is hard to be-
lieve he has lived SO long.
AS first step in their progress
toward the Power that knowledge
gives, Mr.. Dingle wants to send to
readers of this paper a 90O-word

AMERICANS DOWN
81 NAM PLANES

LONDON, April 7-R'-Ameri-
can airmen shot down at least u
German planes today in the great
e.t aerial battle over Europe IN
three months a. the Nazis tried
frantically to stop 1900 American
heavy bombers blowing an lnVa-
sion path for Marshal Montgom-
erys drive on the North sea ports:
The Germans downed included
a large number u jet-propelled
Messerschmitt 262s.
Following the big American day
light raids, the German radio re-
ported Allied bombers were over
head during the night, indicating
that the Raj was out again after
a two-night layoff due to bad
weather.
In the days air battles, American
fighter pilots got 63 enemy planes
while bomber gunners accounted
for at least "a.
American losses were q bomb
ers and three fighters, heaviest
suffered by the Eighth Air Force
since the Rhine crossing of March
"A.
The Raj in side operation in
daylight raided Ijmuiden on the
German-held coast of North Hol-
land, where there is submarine
works and power station, and also
a suspected site Of Nazi rocket
guns.
The big fleet of Liberators and
Fortresses, escorted by $50 fight
ers, raced more than 100. miles
ahead of onrushing British and
American armies and blasted four
jet airfields, two railyards, two
ammunition and storage plants, an
oil depot and an ordnance depot.
Most OF them were in the vicinity
of Bremen, Kiel and Hamburg,
three Of Germany's greatest ports
imperiled by Montgomery's drive.

sistance was sa-ging on this front.
The French First Army was
clawing along the Siegfried Line
south Of Karlsruhe, driving the en-
env from bunker to bunker.
The German armies were being
Slapped so swiftly-4o,os4 more
prisoners being counted FRIDAY
that it seemed highly unlikely they
would even be able to stand on the
broad Elbe River, so miles west
of Berlin.
The pace of the advance had
stretched communications so bad
ly that supreme headquarters told
correspondents that there was a
considerable time lag between their
reports and the actual advance.

Five generations Of our peo-
pie have lived under our Consti-
tuition with results that have as
tonished the world. Our scientist
have been the equal, if not the
superior, of those of any other ma
ton in discovering the resources
Of the earth, air and water. Our
manufacturers have produced
goods beyond the belief of man,
and have brought forth labor and
health saving machines for the
benefit of all. Our poets and phi
1osophers and songWriters have
touched the inner springs Of our
natures and spurred us on to
greater achievements, while our
religious leaders have led us or
to a firmer grip on the source Of
the ease, comfort and happiness
all power. In our homes we have
which comes from freedom and
knowle edge of unconquerable
strength"
Many lands have greater natur-
al resources than the United States,
he said, and I'VE forget that we
come very recently from the old
countries of Europe. The fact is
that our growth is due to the prin-
ciples on which our forefathers
founded this nation" he averred.
Col. Metcalf characterized vari-
Gus pressure groups as vicious"
bodies, well organized in concerted
attacks on Americanism.
1.-THE pride of our nation and
our firesides is in uniform, fighting
again for freedom. Let us. here at
home, raise the standard of our
fathers 50 high that when our
boys return to our shores, they will
have a ralying point from which
to protect the liberty for which
they fought so valiantly," he con-
cluded.
The Cincinnati society was form
ed Immediately after the Revolu-
tionary War by officers Of the Ar
my of the Republic to promote
human betterment.
There are thirteen different as.

find that many persons are in

particularly sore and painful
feet.
II a person has fiat feet with
broken down arches, II is more
likely that, after standing for
while, the feet will become pain
full. The ordinary treatment
for fat feet consists OF exercise
10 improve the strength of the
muscles, wearing properly fit
ting shoes, with a felt or sponge
rubber pad under the arch, and
staying of the feet as much as
possible when they are sore.
A new treatment for fiat feet
has now been proposed by Doc
tors Herbert r. HippS and Hugh
Nicely of the navy medical corps.
With this treatment, they have
been able 10 reduce the hospital
stay OF sailors suffering from
fat feet from about 33 days 20
six days,
The treatment propoSed-hy
Doctors Hipps and Nicely follows
along the lines Of the method OF
taking care OF sprained ankles
and other simple spralns. II
consists Of the injection Of a
pain-kililng substance known as
Isocaine hydrochloride, Injec-
ss are given through the sole
- the foot, into the painful
areas. Following this, the pa
tient Is instructed TO lie face
downward with his knees bent
10 a right angle. Then the bot
toms of the feet are massaged
with alcohol on sponge for
about five minutes or so.
The next step in the treat
ment is TO have the patient walk
up and down until he has COW
cred a distance of about a quar-
ter OF a mile. After that. no
further treatment is carried out
until two days later. At this
time, the treatment is repeated.
