The Russian armies went through Manchuria in rapid time, taking every thing before them and making the much vaunted Japanese army look like amateurs. General MacArthur will have a complete army when he enters Japan. including a supply of atomic bombs if the Nips continue their procrastination methods. O—O The Japs soon lost all traces of their “smart-Alec” attitude when they arrived at Manila to find the Americans a stern and distrustful group. -0 — zNow that gas is no longer rationed, we can all drive out into the country and see what a prosperious and fertile community we have. There are no better. Get the boys and girls ready for school. Shoes and clothing are now obtainable and your local merchant will bo glad to help you find just what the youngsters need. O—O Millions of Japs are surrendering, leaving that nation so weakened that the final result is assured. They bit off more than they could chew and their nation has been set back a hundred years. b O—O—— One atomic bomb could have saved thousands of lives if it could have been used on Okinawa. Its Too powerful to let go of as long Ms the world looks to this nation to lead the world towards a real «• peace goal. «* - O—O - We are informed by merchants who have been at the markets recently that goods is easier to obtain and in another month or two ‘«B will be surprisingly so. It's time to advertise and the stores that do so will get the eream of the business. O—Q—— Buy bond®. You may be tired of that request but its still necessary to provide for the future. We must , bring ten million men and wbmen home, get them located in jobs or business, smooth out the war ruts and get started on that happy era we have all dreamed about. —o— The Red Cross still hae mucn work to do and deserves your earnest support. They will assist the men in the armed forces in .a hundred ways, chief of which of course is the continued care of the ill and wounded. Don't let this great agency of mercy down. They ure aiding thoae you love. ——o 0 —■ Quilling and Laval are now on trial and'the world generally belie vea them guilty.

Governor Gates has lifted the wartime speed regulation of thirty five mile® an hour but warns motorists to follow the Indiana statutes by being careful The tires are ‘ old and the cars are worn so that it any thing can happen. Even if your car is comparatively new and safe, t you should watch for the other fel>t low whose machine may not be so t reliable. —o War is the worst fop civilization ) can have but poverty i« probably next on the list. When people are ’ hungry and destitute they become J desperate and crimes always ini crease under such conditions. At * the present time Sing Sing and I other prisons are almost empty in > comparison to former years. It would be fine if that condition could continue but it probably won't. It behooves police officers and all other agencies provided to preserve good order in society to be on the watch and stop crime whenever and whereever it bobs up. Lets cross the reconversion period as easily as possible. o—o The word, “expansivity,” long a forgotten denizen of the dictionary, has been picked up, dusted off, and given new meaning by the Army Air Forces. Expansivity, the AAF announces, is the word officially selected to designate the ability to expand in orderly fashion from a peacetime to a wartime basis. “Immediate sticking power and expansivity.” says the AAF, “are the two major requisits of a'l effective air force. “Air force expansivity depends on several iniportant elements: qußlifll|Bd personnel, adequate installations, and modern equipment.” —o Tokio warns that many of their soldiers may refuse to accept the order to lay down their arms and surrender and may put up a battle when our armies of occupation attempt to land and to take their positions in the necessary pointe in Japan. General MacArthur is going in with or without consent and approval. He will take over the country and operate it until it has proven itself worthy of confidence of the peace loving nations of the world. The envoys have reported to headquarters after their visit in Manila and the leaders in Tokio know now what to expect. Its up to them to do it peaceably or otherwise. o—O Rocket Fliqht Allied intelligence officers, inter- , rogating German scientists, are being given glimpses into the possible future which exceed the imaginings of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. Within the next five to 10 years, the Germans gravely told the officers, rockets will carry a ton of mail across the Atlantic in 40 minutes. Within 15 to 25 years—as soon as someone can figure out how to bring them to a landing—rocket ships will make regular passenger runs, equally swiftly, between Europe and lite United j States. Col. John A. Keck. Chief of the Enemy Equipment intelligent eection of the U. S. Army Ordnance' Division of the European Theater, further revealed the enemy was developing rockets that could be launched from submerged submarines against aircraft or coastal cities. These weapons were exi pected to. be in operation next January. The Nazi war program called > tor development of a rocket with I a range up to 1,800 miles and it i was due to be ready in another six : months. Forty giant bombers with a 7,000 mile range were found on the largest Luftwaffe field ever seen by 1. ' «• ‘j. American r near Oslo and the new type bomber developed by Heinkel was expected to be used to bomb New r , York City. I 0 : • The bfwthoru is the state tlowe.es MiMeuri.

When entering a night club with her escort should a girl go first to the table with him, and then excuse herself while she goes to the women’s room? A. No; she should go first to the women's room. Her escort will wait for her somewhere near the entrance to the dinning room. Q. If one drops a napkin or a piece of silver when dinning in a public place, what should one do? A. Quietly call the waiter's attention to it; he will pick it up and replace it with another. Q. What does it indicate when two men are introduced and they do not shake hands? A. Unless both men are ignorant of social customs i’ would indicate only one thing—unfriendliness.

Imai said that airdromes at Nanking and Shanghai still were intact, but that there was only a small amount of aviation gasoline left. The Chinese army's headquarters moved today to Chihkiang, which will serve as the military nerve-center for taking over of Japanese-held territory. The supreme national defense council, the central standing committee of the Kuomintang party, and the legislative Yuan, were scheduled to meet tomorrow in Chungking to ratify the new Chinese-Soviet treaty recently signed in Moscow by Generalissimo Stalin and Premier T.

TRUMAN, DE GAULLE (Continued From Pago On«> F. Byrnes. The objectives of the three-day stats vteil of the provisional French president were to re-cement badly tattered Franco - American relations, to win economic aid for lightening France’s reconstruction burden, and to start France on the road back to big power status. De Gaulle took the initiative in inaugurating what offcials hope will be a new era. Gone was the and hesitancy of a yeai ago when he viisited President Roosevelt and sought recognition of the French committee of liberation as a provisional government. The tali, sad-looking general began singing the praises of the United States as soon as he stepped from his plane late yesterday at the national airport. He conceded American leadership in the world and invited the United States to lead the way for France to follow. De Gualle paid glowing tribute to President Truman and to the man with whom his relations always were strained—the late Franklin D. Roosevelt. Without the American people and the leadership of those two presidents, he J said, “there would have been no I future for Europe or Asia, but in- ■ tolerable servitude.”
