crete emplacements, which gradu- ally began to crumble. Toward the end the attack was continuous day and night. On March 13. the Films gave up the hopeless strug- gle. The Russians got their protec- tive bases: the ports of Viipuri and Hangoe and the entire Karelian isthmus.
 To the west, first runblings of reaWakening war were heard early in April. The British, seeking to halt German ore shipments from Sweden, started laying mines in Norwegian waters The Nazis, fear ing Allied landings in the area. acted quickly. Proclaming a desire to "potect' Denmark and Norway from Allied designs, German troops descended on the two neutral coun- tries by land and by sea on the morning of April g, 194O.
 The invading forces met with little resistance in Denmark and oVerran the country in a matter of hours. In Norway, success was nearly as rapid. Espionage, sabotage and treachery had crippled the little Norwegian army. Landing parties occupied Oslo, Trondheim, Bergen, StaVenger and the sub Arctic ore port of Narvik almost simultaneously.
 B.E.F. Smashed in Norway
 Back in England there was mis- guided Jubilance that Hitler had dared at last to bring the war out into the open" EXpeditionary forces were dispatched to the ports of Andalsnes and Namsos-north and south of Trondhelm on the cen tral Norway coast-and to Narvik to the north. In Commons. Cham oerlain chortled that the Nazis had missed the bus this time"
 It was the Allies first dismal blunder. The British forces were half-trained and tragically made quate. With little air support and virtually no aRti-aircraft protec- ton, they never did succeed in get ting their heavy artillery or mech anlzed equipment ashore. Clouds of land-based Nazi aircraft and columns of armored troops smashed every effort to expand the little British beachheads. The only suc- ceSses were limited ones scored by canadian and British troops in the NarVlk area. The battered relief forces finally made their escape by sea from scattered Norwegian fish ing villages.
 Tn England, the Norway debacle sealed the downfall of the Cham oerlaln regime. On may 10, Win ston Churchill became prime min lster. His first task was a stern one; that morning German panzer alvlsions rolled into Holland and Belgium.

Get Mew Post
in the Pacific

LONDON, May IS - up -
1t. Gen. James II. Doolittle was
headed today for the U. S. Ar
my Air Forces headquarters in
Washington. probably TO receive
Pacific command assignment
that will assure Tokyo of blows
far more staggering than the one
he delivered personally on April
l8. 1912.
An official announcement said
the stocky. 48 year old COM
msnder of the u. S. Eighth Air
Force in its victorious blasting
Of Germany would return to
Washington "for a new assign
ment."
There see m e d little doubt,
however, that the special talents
Of the man who organized and
led the first air attack on Tokyo
by BIS Mitchell medium bomb
ers more than three years ago
would be utilized In the Pacific.
In Washington it was believed
his first task would be to set up
bases for BIZ and B-24 strategic
bombers. on which he is a spec
ialist.
Doolittle's successor in the Eu-
ropean theater is Maj. Gen. Will
liam Kepner, So, native of In
diana and former commander of
the Eighth Air Forces Second
Bomber Division. Kepner, pio-
neer in work with zeppelins and
balloon ascensions in the STRAIT
oSphere, has been in some branch
of the fighting service ever since
he ran away from home at the
age of 16.
Doolittle declared at a press
conference last Friday that the
main burden of bombing Japan
would be carried by Superfort-
resses, with BIZ Flying Fort
reSses and B-24 Liberators doing
the work usually done by me-
dunn bombers.
He asserted that the basic
strategy against Japan would be
the weakening of the enemy
from the air to enable occupa-
ton of the land by ground
forces"
His ability to carry through
that strategy as Eighth Air Force
commander was conceded even
by some enemy commanders TO
be of the chief reasons for Ger
many's swift and crushing coll
lapse.

Members Of the county Drains

Attorneys opinion in regard to
whether bridges over drains
should be maintained and re-
paired by the county Road De-

A recent joint session of both

the matter after Drain Commits
sioner William c. Harper had
claimed that he had received an
opinion that the road office must
foot the maintenance bill.
The joint committee voted 10
