started toward the porch.
Martha opened the door with a
suspicious suddenness. She too had
been watching him. She looked
a different person from the virago
who had bludgeoned Esther and
Tony out of the house yesterday.
She was smiling.
She said, "The mistress is ex-
pecting you" Somewhat to her
own surprise, she added, sir.

like string.
Larry followed her into the par

polished table in the hall. There
was, in this house, faint scent OF
lavender. 1t reminded him of his
youth, when he had had a home
and parents. Now he had neither.
He FELT relaxed and ready. as he
came into the low-ceilinged room
and saw Miss Verify standing in
the middle. with the box in her
hands. He saw her eyes, which
were as young as when she had
been twenty, and he remembered
that she had said in her letter that
she was eighty years old. Every
thing that was incest in Larry was
in his eyes as he looked at Miss
Verify for this first time. He did
not know this, but Miss Verify did.
However, she too knew life. and
although trustful of him at once.
she decided to carry out her plan.
She held out the box towards
him, turning it so that he could
see the queen Solaja rose. with

Four Red Armies
Mount Offensive

Marshal Stain. in one of his earl
lest special orders of the day ever
broadcast from Moscow, announced
the opening of the new offensive in
the Polish -Slovak border area in
concert with the advance by the left
wing of Marshal Ivan S. Konev's
First Ukrainian army.
FOURTH GAINS so MILES
Gen. Ivan Y. Petrov's Fourth
Ukrainian army jumped off from a
springboard west of Sanok last Mon
day, broke through a strongly forth
fled German defense system, and in
four days of bloody battles advanced
up to so miles OF 37-mile front.
Petrov's forces drove across the
WiSloka and Dunajec rivers, and
captured more than 400 towns and
villages including Jaslo, II miles
southeast of Krakow and Gorlice,
Is miles southwest of Jaslo.
Moscow now has confirmed the
synchronized offensives by four Red
armies in Poland. BY German ac-
count, at least one and possibly two
more were in action in and near
East Prussia
BRESLAU IN PANIC
Both Moscow and Berlin limited
that the battle of Poland was turn
ing into the battle of Germany with
an invasion of SileSia, and second
hand reports said panic had broken
out in the Silesian capital of Bres-
lau and other cities in the border
region fronting Poland.
CALL FOR SURRENDER
The Moscow radio broadcast one
of the most jubilant Soviet pro-
nouncements of the entire war,
plainly indicating that the Soviet
command believed its fight of four
an6 a half years was nearly over.
1t said:
The catastrophe which has be-
fallen the German armies in Poland
is greater than that which befell
their central group of armies last
summer. The entire German front
in Poland has collapsed. Any fur
ther resistance on the part of the
German people is useless.
