Col-

frunflniif*! Kr«m Pnc« On* » plain between Strasbourg anil mar; captured I^e Thillot.

Flench 1st Army Reached Battenhieim, four miles north of Mulliouse and 17 miles south of Colmar, | occupied Morschwiller-Le Bas, three miles west of Mulhouse; repulsed German counterattacks southeast

Belfort and in Mulhouse area.

Leclerc’s spectacular advance into j Strasbourg tightened the allied trap t round 50,000 German troops being j di iven back against the Rhine by the llrd and 7th Armies in eastern

France.

With the western half of the city in their hands, the French already have denied use of Strasbourg’s two highway and one railway bridge across the Rhine to all but the garrison of the city itself and there was a I

possibility the spans might

French hands intact.

Nine other permanent bridges cross the Rhine between Strasbourg and the Swiss border, but the majority of them were believed already captured by French 1st Army troops or severed by allied bombs. All signs indicated that Colmar, half way between Mulhouse and Strasbourg, soon may become the enemy’s escape bottleneck from Alsace, while the allied air offensive may reduce his bridges to a few pontoon

affairs.

The enthusiastic French press aileady was crediting Lecerc, whose 2nd Armored Division was fighting witn the American 7th Army, with liberating Strasbourg, but their reports were based on a mistranslation into English and then back into French of the French war minister’s announcement yesterday that French forces had entred the city. Telephone Strike Ended Suddenly CLEVELAND, Nov. 24.—(UP) — Long distance telephone service wr.s fully restored in 29 Ohio community's and key cities of the East and Midwest today after an eleventh hour union decision which forestalled government seizure of struck facilit-

ies.

The break in the seven-day Ohio work stoppage came suddenly i.i Washington last night. President Robert Pollock of the strike-originat-ing Ohio Federation of Telephou Workers announced unexpectedly tc the War Labor Board that he and ether union officials involved were “convinced” that the board would make a “fair and equitable" settlement of strike issues. Pollock immediately ordered members of his Ohio union to go back to work and other officials called off “sympathy” strikes which had spread to Washington and Detroit. The spreading strike, sparked by Dayton, O.. switchboard operato-s protesting $18.25 weekly maintenance bonuses to Imported operators, was verging on a national tieup of communication. Nathan P. Feinsinger, WLB public member, disclosed last night that President Roosevelt already ha 1 authorized seizure of Dayton facilities. “This case came closer to seizure without actual seizure than any other in WLB history,” he said. Before the “surpaise” break last night, the situation had worsened with the enlistment of New Yor k and Chicago telephone operators in the ranks of sympathizers. New York operators had just notified tha American Telephone and Telegraph Co. that they would not handle Ohio calls, and Chicagxr and Illinois workers had arranged a walkout of 7.000 enrployes. RE-ELECTION PREDICTED CHICAGO, Nov. 24.—(UP)—Rcelection of all officers of the CIO was predicted today as the union met for the final session of its seventh annual convention, at which Secretar y of the Interior Harold L. Ickes w.ll

speak.

BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY But some of us still think like children. We should learn to evaluate

life as part of eternity; When I was a child, I spake as a child, I under-

stood as a child. I thought as a chile; but when I became a man I put away childish things. 1 Cor. 13:12.

Among the G. I. Janes wounded and sick in Army and Navy hosp.taP are nurses, members of a profession who pledged themselves to the service of humanity when they took the Florence Nightengale pledge. When they joined the Army and Navy and put aside their starched white for a smart uniform that soon changed to battledress, they begai to write a story that is unequalled for sheer gallantry, unreckoning ser vice and devotion to duty. They hav refused to leave the wards when the wounded begged them to take sheltet during bombing raids; they have brought skill and comfort, tenderness, and laughter to our fighting men. There were nurses at Bataan and Corregidor and there have been nurses following our Armed Forces wherever they have gone. Just ask any G. I. Joe what ho thinks of th: ; Army and Navy Nurses. Now some of these girls are hospitalized, and you car. hep' to make their Christmas a happier day. There is something very moving in the list of gifts suggested for them. Permanent wave sets, nail polish and nail polish remover, lipstick and rouge, nice soaps, dusting and face powders, makeup mirrors, cleansing tissue, bed socks, bedroom slippers cologne and compacts for the nurses who hardly had time to take a bath if there were facilities, and who combed their hair and washed the i faces on the double. In the name of all the G. I. Joe’s ! for whom they have cared let us give with heartfelt thanks to these Amy and Navy Nurses who have written a proud story of woman's valor.
