The War Department announc-
ed tonight that the battle-hardened

was now on the way from Europe
to the Pacific.
Its men will stop in the United
States for furloughs before pro.
ceeding to the Pacific to give the
Japanese the same treatment
which cracked the Nazis.
The War Department said that
divisions and corps which will fight
against Japan will not necessari-
ly be the same, as those which
fought the Germans. Many of the
men who rocketed to victory in
Europe less than II months after
they climbed up the fire-swept
beaches of Normandy will be dis
charged under the Army's demo
bilization point system.
But, the War Department said,
enough veteran units and person
mel will take the field under Hodges
''to insure the same vigorous as
sault against the Japanese as was
made by the First Army against
the Germans"
Many men of the units to be
sent to the Pacific are being sep
arated as they leave Europe. They
will be replaced by men who dc
not have enough points to qualify
for discharge. &c.

Pawtucket, R. I. May 31. CUP)- A lnew betting cord has been estab- l1shed for New England horse rac- ing after Memorial day crowd of 45,000 poured $1,846,21O though the parl-mutuels at Narragansett park.
 The sum surpasseS by $199,6O8 the previous mark of $1,646,6O8 that was set at the same trick last Labor Day.
 Perhaps never since horse racing was inaugurated 13 years ago at Rockingham park in Salem, N. H. have such gilt-edged crowds been seen at New England track.
 Thousands of automobiles stormed into the tracks parking spaces, over flowed into private lots and lined the roads and highways for miles in every direction.
 Betting facilities were taxed to their utmost and thousands of per- sons were shutout as the races start ed before they were unable to gain the pari-mutuel windows.
 So anxious was the crowd to wager that many failed to even to watch the races, preferring to listen to the reception being broadcast over a public address system and then fighting their way to the windows to lay bets on the next race.
