Cherbourg with Its wonderful port is now In the hands of the Allies and Its one of the big steps In the war. EvOn though much of It has been destroyed It will soon he prepared to land men and supplies in a much easier manner and much more rapidly. We have really established the beachhead. —o The Allied forces are pushing well up the leg of the Italian boot. They are nearing I’toa on the west coast and are steadily moving on. The Alps will stop them from going straight north but they can slip off to the east and detour them It won’t he Inng now until that country can really feel she is free again. ' —o Thousands of people who went to Chicago and took a chance of find Ing ? place tn sleep wish they hart remained at home and read the con ventton news in their newspaper. The delegatee and officials took a.ono hotel rooms and lhe othera had to hustle out to look for “rooms for rent" signa. This is not a very good time to attend conventions or to travel except when necessary. —o 4 it's a walkaway for Dewey in the Chicago convention and the world await* his speech of acceptance. He should make himself dear as to his position on foreign and diplomatic problems. !«abor, farmer and others may lose all the gain i made the past dozen years if he to elected and if he doe* not take a course for all the people, it's a aerlotis time In the history of America, make no mistake about that. O_O The 168th anniversary of Independence Day will be observed next Tuesday, not with a great flare of noise and fireworks, not with horse racing or other events as in the old day* but with more sincerity than any time since 1865 when the Civil War ended. We are at war and our hoys are fighting again that land of the free and the brave shall continue to have liberty. Millions are in the armed service and every one to thinking seriously about the present and the future. It's a good time to read over the declaration. —O—O 1 A girl from Fort Wayne named Jane Peters will appear in a movie as a casualty of World War II long after peace has come. No one but the people out of Indiana knew her a* Miss Peters, even In the year* that preceded her death in the crash of a plane on a War Bond tour. In news of the tragedy her Hollywood name had become Carole Ixunbard. The film, a one reel picture produced by Columbia PicI lures and covering much of the movie star’s career, has ju«t been presenjed to the Historical Society of Fort Wayne. In accepting the Him. Mayor Harry W. Baals Revealed that he had appealed to Carole, nee Jane, “in behalf of the citizens of her home town to participate in opening Indiana's bond drive in Indianapolis, which culminated in her tragic death." The Pathfinder. O—O We Are Reckless: The two biggest d toasters in the history of the I'nited State! were the Galveston. Texas, tidal wave in IKoo when 6.000 were killed, and the Johnstown. Pennsylvania, flood in I*B9, which cost 2.200 Ilves. The sum of these two dteaaters is a figure only a few hundred more than the average number of persons killed every month by accidents In the United Rtates. Why do We become so horrified over the loss of life in one of these large disasters and pay no attention to the annual toll of accidents In the country? These day-by-day accident death* are just as horrlMe a* if the victim* had been killed by floods, flres and hurricanes. Accidents are caused by thoughtlessnees and carelessness —two cßaractartotfes *htch can be ten trdUel By rtatrtlliU Wo edd step this needless less of life

Cherbourg. June 27.—(UP>—Tie gWAntl raised hl* voice over the rtrntblb of the bnlidocera outride Nafroleon Square. Alt lovers of France and of freedom had known, eaid Maj. General J. Lawton Collins, commander of the 7th army corps, that no true Frenchman had submitted willingly to German overlordship, in their hearts and homes, he said, they bad continued to whisper, “Vive ia France!" Now he said, American troops rwere happy to be with them on this day when they could shout tn the free afr, "Vive la France " The people of Chertourg. women, children and old men a few of the latter ■wearing faded uniforms of world war I -applauded the general and nhouted. ’’Vive la France . ... Vive I’Amerftiue!" 1 saw more than one of them quietly weeping a* the army band xwung into La 'Marseillaise and the Star-Spangled Bunner. Thus did Cherbourg receive back fts liberty-the first large efty tn France liberated iby the Allied armies. Fbrmatiomt Os dottgNboys representing the victorious American divisions Were arrayed about Napoleon Square. Collin* was flanked by the commanding general* of these divisions which had smashed the German defenses of the seaport and which even how were busy elsewhere in the city rooting out snipers and clearing demolition*. 'A White-haired little man wearing spectacle* came forward to the general ife Was Paul Renaud, mayor of Cherbourg —no relative of the last Premier of France. Collins presented him a tricolor made of strips of blue, white, and red parachutes used by the first paratrooper* who landed on French soil. June 6. The little mayorßiutched the flag to hto bosom and vowed that it was “a lasting testimonial of Cherbourg's deliverance. At the foot of the square stood the statue of Napoleon from which

But Andrei was not a girt who tried to explain the things she felt. Turmoil was not new to her, and Mi* knew that It was frequently born of no more than discontent, an urge to hasten life, which moved too slowly. It set up a turmoil that was now slowly burning anger against the pattern she lived by. Beth thought that hate was a word on Andrea’s Ups, spoken without eonOeiowmeM of Its real meanfiqb hut Andre* knew it was not.

| But Andrea was not content. Sitting beside him in his low-slung I car, dancing with him, across from him at the many tables of which ; she was beginning to tire, she dreamed of being mistress of his ! big house in the valley, of traveling i with him, of being Mrs. Archer. The i goal that never came nearer. ! He was getting out of the car when she opened the front door, ''Helio,*' she said, seeing with disappointment that he was not in dinner jacket. "I came down to 1 meet you because Beth is entertaining her ..." she broke off at the point of saying, "beau," and she wondered why she hadn’t, or ' rather why she hadn't wanted to. “I almost rang up to ask you to let me off tonight, dear. Would you I have minded ?’• “I’d always mind," she said, but she thought, “I wouldn’t have-not tonight," and did not ask herself why. Nor did she ask Dennis why. She said, “Are wo going to the Metropole?" "Ko,” he said rather shortly. "It's noisy there and 1... I want to talk to you.” They drove in silence through the city and out to the hills, one not seeming to notice the other’s silence. When they'd come to a small, almost dark inn, before which there were only two or three ears, and Denhis stopped the car, Andrea pouted and said, "This is so dreary, darling. No one ever comes here. Must we?" Tm being a dark-eyed villain." he said, with an attempt at lightness, "taking you quite deliberately where no one comes.’* "Because you want me to yourself?" Or do you have a nefarious purpose?" "The first always goes—you'll judge the second for yourself." They found a secluded comer, and might well have been in the middle of the floor for all the attention anyone paid them. Dennis took her slim hands in his own. Sve them a quick pressure and let cm go. "What does all this mean ?” Andrea asked, seeing for the first time that his face looked tired and old. "Beatrice is here. She came today." Andrea's face stiffened. “Your she said in a little murmur. "What do you mean, ’here’? in Pennington? or at . . ." “At the house," he said. ~v A * elt an K er rtae In her.
