 The Germans were understood to have had neither jeers nor cheers for the visitor long pictured by their Fuehrer as bogey- man.
 Beyond Aachen the party stopped to inspect a pillbox. The steel and siX-foot concrete had been shattered by the demolition of combat engi- neers.
 Montgomery suggested to Chur- chill that he inform the Royal Air Force bomber command on the con- ditions in Aachen.
 At bridge over the Roer, the party dismounted and walked across. Churchill observed that the river was much wider than he had imagined.
 Engineers building a permanent pile bridge stopped work and lined up at salute. Simpson and Churchill discussed the feasibility of getting Adolf Hitler's head in a similar pile driver.
 The massive city gate at Juelich is conceded to be the flattest ruins in this part of Germany. The visitors drove through town to the citadel. Overlooking the town, Montgomery commented that this is a fine view of German devastation" and Chur- chill responded:
 There will be no unemployment here after the war"
 They had lunch in the tunneled entrance to the citadel, and then re turned to Montgomery's headquar- ters.

 The remaining enemy forces are split up into number of divergent groups which are bottled up in the mountains where supply is difncult movement restricted and control and communication present insup- erable obstacles.
 These forces are being subjected to continuous attack by our air forces, while the pressure Of our ground forces congresses them into a smaller and smaller maneuver space and our guerrilla forces con- stantly harass their lines of sup- ply
 The largest enemy force was con- centrated in the northeastern sec- ton of Luzon, where two American divisions were steadily cutting into the Japanese positions.
 Two columns of the Sand Division were moving along the Villa Verde trail and up the ambayang river while the 18th Division advancing north on Highway 5 captured Pun can, II miles from the Balete Pass.
 A junction of the two divisions, both aiming for Santa Fe where Villa Verde Trail and Highway 5 meet, would cut of a big segment of the Japanese northern pocket.
 While the ground forces closed in, American planes struck ahead to bomb and straf enemy airfields at Echague, T'uguegarao and Aparri, wrecking a number of grounded Japanese aircraft.
 A communique also disclosed that an additional 1,068 Japanese dead were counted on Leyte. bringing the total enemy killed on that island to l42,O00.
 Strong formations of liberation bombers braved adverse weather to again hammer Formosa. Enemy shipping at Keelung Harbor on the northeast coast was slashed. while railroad yards and the airdromes were hit at Tainan and nearby Kamka.
 In attacks along the China coast, patrol bombers sank two small freighters and . barge south of Shanghai and a l,O00-t ton oil-car- rying freighter off Swatow.

 The fighting front has remained virtually unchanged for more than 48 hours while the Third, Fourth and Fifth Marine Divisions brought up munitions and supplies for the attack. The third, in the center, has only a quarter mile to go to the northeast coast to split the deci. mated enemy garrison.
 The Japanese tried time and again to infiltrate the American lines Sunday night and early Mon- day, only to be broken up and thrown back. Hundreds of the enemy were killed, but the infil- tartion parties did bring the Mar ines under substantial artillery and small arms fire.

 From Stargard. a highway and a railway run straight to Stettin's suburb of Altdamm, on the east bank of the Oder opposite Stettin itself. Altdamm lies IS miles west of Stargard.

 social welfare that might be adopted by the operators would have to be on an acturial basis set up and administered by the companies.
 The operators formally acknowl- edged that the biggest stumbling block to an early agreement were the demands for a royalty and 6 54-hour week with time and one- half pay for all hours over seven a day and 35 a week.
 The producers estimated that this second demand would amount to SLOT per day increase for the min CTS.

 Spokesmen believed this request runs counter to wage Stabilization policy. The War Labor Board has approved time and ine@half pay after 70 hours instead of the 35- hour limit provided by the UNIV contract of l941-43.

3ev. ,. DOnnelly itor of the Catho- lie News in New ''Nrk City recently learned the story of Father Fox and published 1t last week for his read- CTS. It takes the form of the monks own story of why he is a monk. And it is more remarkable because 1t was written for Father Fox's classmates of Harvard 'ls and published only in . volume compiled on the occa- sion of their silver jubilee reunion and containing a statement by each member of the class.
 The statement is an eloquent and keen estimate of the values of life and it's purpose. It is worth quoting in full but we must take only as much as we have space.
 ~GREAT PURSUIT OF
 MAKING MONEY"
 Beginning Father Fox traces his steps from his graduation at liar yard to the School of Business Ad- ministration at the University, to the Navy and thence his work in the 1n- come Tax Division of the Treasury Department checking up tax re- turns of corporations, simple and consolidated. This gave me a vivid opportunity to study men in the grand pursuit of making money and of sealing the heights of fame and fortune.
 But instead of becoming hypno- tized also and drawn into the grand whirlpool, reacted diametrically op- posite. I found myself asking my self is this what life is for, to burn uo in sweating scheming and toiling in q race for power, prestige, pas sion, pleasure and piles of stocks and bonds, from every one of which I am going to be separated some day2 They ;. cannot be the real goal of life.
 '"Then what is7 I began to reflect on myself. Here I am with life, pow or of intellect, power of love, per- sonality. Where did I come from with all these gifts? Certainly I did not make myself because l did not exist before coming into existence. Whatever is the source of my com ing into existence. 1t must be a source which also has life, intellect, heart, and must also be a person.

Catholic Thought And Opinion
 By REV. JOSEPH F. DONNELLY
WHAT THEN.

WHAT THEW
 Thus came to realize the first fundamental fact about myself and about all other men. am made by God. Then, the question why did God make mep Only God knows, therefore only God can tell me. Has Goo ever revealed to man his true destiny and how tc win it3 Yes. But how did He reveal 1t, and when and where?
 What is the date on this morn- ings newspaper and on all official papers all over the world9 The date, all this year, is l0l3. It is l,oA3 years after the life, work and teaching of a man who 90 transcends the life and work of all other men that all human history the world over bears witness to the reality Of His life and existence as on c hinge.
 THE ANSWER
 This man proved He was more than man, that He was divine, the God Man. He, God, in human lan- guage has told us the true good of all living and how to win 1t. He has told us that our true goal is eternal life, in the life beyond the grave, and the way to win 1t is to follow his teachings.
 Some follow Christ 20 per cent some 70 per cent, some 60 per cent, some 30 per cent. resolved to fol- low Christ 100 per cent.
 Why not7 Where eternity is at stake no cost is too great. could not give my life to the pursuit O! things that will pass away. I could and would devote my life only to the eternal.
 so TO GETHSEMANE
 T looked around for an oppor- tunity where I could give my life for Christ and God 100 per cent and l found it in the Abbey of qethse- mane which is a community of the Trappist Order of the Roman Cath olic Church.
 Here some 14S men live life of prayer and sacrifice to bring God to men and men to God. Their days work begins at ? a. m, when they r.se to sing the Divine Office in choir. About eight hours are devoted 70 choir service, four hours to study and prayer, five hours to manual labor in field, farm and forest, clos ing the day at ' D. m.
 They deny themselves the eating Of meat, eggs and fish, are content with vegetables, bread and fruit, and live each day in an atmosphere of sweet silence and solitude, of deep peace, joy, cheerfulness and love, praying for a prodigal world that does not pray, doing penance for a world that will not do penance. THE OFFERING
 q am offering my life as victim, in union with the Divine Victim of Calvary, to save human souls and to bring peace back to all of us. Every day, my dear classmates of 1918, l pray at the Divine Office and the Sacrifice of the Mass for you and fer your dear families. that you will all win the real goal of life, in that true life beyond the grave, God and eternal hapiness'

Answer-The left-hand rule In
England and Ireland is q matter of
common law. Ths custom is 90
ancient that the exact origin Is OBJ
scure.
One theory is that in feudal days
horsemen kept to the left side in
passing each other so that If an
enemy was encountered he would
be on the right or weapon side A
later theory is that, in driving on
the narrow, hedge-bordered roads
teamsters kept to the left so as to

The first American automobiles
