The Allies have not weakened. They are stronger than ever and going forward to victory. The Natl forces have stiffened and are delaying advancement wherever they can. This has made many it change their prediction as to the da'e for the end of the conflict In t Europe but the ultimate results >_ still seems assured. t O—O The speakers at the Democratic • editorial meeting at French Lick opened the campaign with vigor I and the large crowd that attended I the banquet enthusiastically cheerI ed each one of them.

Whether a large vote or one near normal, if cast this year will aid one party or the other we don’t know. Neither do those who predict. But one thing Is sure, it will aid democracy for the greatest privilege any American citlxen has. la that of suffrage. Plan to vote, see that you are properly registered and help get out the vote on election day. If we have a good vote, the verdict will be cheerfully accepted by every good citlxen. Charging that thoughtless hunters and fishermen annually cause the death by Are of many thousandx of game birds und animals, and ravage the nation's forests over wide areas, Harris Collingwood, chief forester of National Lumber Manufacturers Association, pleaded recently for greater care in the use of Are in the woods. "Fire Is Forest Enemy No. 1," Mr. Collingwood said, "and nine out cf every ten forest Ares are man-caus-ed. In 1943, there were 210,32* forest Ares, and more than 189.00* of them were started by the carelessness, Ignorance or viciousness of man."

Cheers And Prayers: "Cheers for the boys in Europe prayers for the boys in the Pacific." That Is the overwhelming sentiment of America for the tone of It* V-Day celebration when Germany surrenders, as shown in a nationwide survey of V-Day plans Just completed by the National Safety Council. Reports to the council from cities and states across the country reveal a virtually unanimous aim to celebrate V-Day with thanksgiving and prever. and with sober, sensible rejoicing, rather than with Itolaterous. unrestrained hilarity. The survey discloses a widespread belief by public officials, police chiefs, industrial concerns and civic leaders that proper leadership. exerted now, can divert the public > emotional rwHtnn to victory In Europe from and reckteM relebrMion to dignified end puvperttful obssrvibcs tM tfiu, malto 6f V-thjy g day o f lommetff-

The invasion of Angaur eliminated the Threat of Japanese artillery from ‘he rear of the first division tnarlnez hacking their way northward through Peleliu. Despite the heavy opposition in which the Japanese were using artillery and mortars, the marlites drove one-third of a miles from their beachhead on the southwest corner, seized a large part of 'he town of Asias-Omaok and occupied high ground in the Ngarekeuki area. The hard-driving marines and Intense flre of warships and planes were taking a heavy toll of the Japanese' force, numbering 10,005 men at the start. In four days of fighting, the Americans have counted 1.400 Japanese dead. The marines captured the second radio s'atlon on the Island, a power plant and the Peleliu air field, which has two strips, each 4,200 feet long, and is large enough to accommodate medium bombers and fighters. The increased tempo of the American drive through the Palaus, within easy bomber range of the Philippines, brought three communiques from NImPX in 24 hours. The first announced the invasion of Angaur and the others reported gains on both islands. Four Wounded By Escaped Patient Logansport, Ind.. Sept.

She had , arrived here in Talbot at night, weary, hopeless, her money almost gone, no escape in sight She had i fallen asleep soothed by the fra- ! grance of white lilacs.

Yes, the level rays of the Cun were tike golden spears being flung into her room. She leaped up as if to a challenge. Yesterday she had been able to lie in bed and think abbut a new day and a new purpoee in life. Today was the new day.
