V dveh kolonah je udarila čez mejo v Nemčijo in je zdaj manj kot sedem milj od Karlsruhe.. Ena kolona je stopila s francoskega ozemlja v Raj h na skrajni vzhodni točki Francije, 35 milj južno od Mannheima in Ludwigshafena. To je tudi najbolj vzhodna točka v Evropi, ki so jo dosegli dozdaj zavezniki. Amerikanci so prestopili nemško mejo malo pred šesto uro danes. V teku so še vedno jako hudi boji v tem sektorju. j Tako so zdaj štiri ameriške armade v Nemčiji in sicer stoje od severa proti jugu na nemškem ozemlju po sledečem redu: deveta, prva, tretja in sedma. Sedma armada je stopila na nemška tla natančno štiri mesece potem, ko se je izkrcala na francoskih tleh v Sredozemskem morju, 425 milj južno zračne črte. Prodirala je preko" gora južne in vzhodne Francije ter danes stopila na nemška tla. Poleg štirih ameriških armad sta na nemških tleh tudi druga angleška in prva kanadska. Francoska armada, ki se bori na desno od sedme ameriške pa do švicarske meje, še ni stopila v Rajh. Sedma ameriška armada je zdaj v Bavariji in pred seboj ima sledeča važna nemška mesta : Karlsruhe, Mannheim in Ludwigshafen. Mannheim šteje 284,000 prebivalcev. Churchill je izročil pol Poljske Rusiji London, 15. dec. — Premier Churchill je pustil na cedilu poljsko vlado v Londonu ter podprl zahteve Rusije po vzhodni Poljski. V nadomestilo te izgube bo dobila Poljska del nemškega ozemlja na zapadu in severu. Ko je v poslanski zbornici danes to izjavil, je nek poslanec zavpil, da je s tem tudi konec Atlantskega čarterja. Churchill je povedal, da je bil o tem obveščen predsednik Roosevelt, toda ameriška vlada še ni izrazila svojega stališča glede tega. Churchill je podal sledeče 'i vzroke z ozirom na poljsko vpra-1 šanje: Poljaki nimajo druge izbire kot da se vdajo zahteyi Rusije po vzhodni polovici Poljske. V zameno bo dobila Poljska! ozemlje "na račun Nemčije,"! vključno Danzig in zapadno Pru-sijo. i Vse nemško pi-ebivalstvo v j teh krajih bodo preselili v Nemčijo, da Poljaki ne bodo imeli sitnosti ž njimi. Ako se hočejo pa Poljaki razširiti še bolj preti zapadu v Nem-! čijo, jim to Anglija in Rusija ne bosta branili, je izjavil Churchill. Grški uporniki so predložili svoje pogoje Atene, 15. dec. — Grški partizani so predložili Angležem svoje pogoje, pod katerimi so pripravljeni prenehati z revol-to. Govori se, da bodo Angleži najbrže pogoje sprejeli kot temelj premirja. Istočasno so pa danes partizani obsuli angleške pozicije v središču Aten s topniškim ognjem. Drugi oddelki kmounistov so pa napadli indske čete severno od Pireja. ' Kar rebeli v glavnem zahtevajo je: da ne bo kaznovan noben vodja upornih partizanov; da se postavi vlada, v kateri bodo zastopane vse stranke; da se ustvari vlada regentov do časa volitev, ki bodo določile, če bo Grčija nadalje monarhija ali bo republika. j Nemci so ustavili Ruse pred Budimpešto London, 15. dec. — Desperat-ni protinapadi nacijev so zausta. vili prodiranje ruske armade pred Budimpešto. Nemci napadajo rusko fronto na vseh točkah, kjer je dohod do Budimpešte najbolj v nevarnosti. Koridor, ki je še odprt Nemcem iz Budimpešte, je dnevno natrpan naroda, ki beži iz madžarske prestolnice. Madžarske čete se vdajajo Rusom, kjer je j le mogoče. Nemci so pozvali Madžare, naj pomagajo braniti Budimpešto in da naj napravijo iz mesta drug Stalino-rnH Taylor prosi nujno pomoč za Italijane Rim, 15. dec. — Myron (J. Taylor, osebni- odposlanec predsednika pri Vatikanu, je apeliral na ameriški narod, naj odpre denarnico ter naj pomaga italijanskemu narodu ter ga s tem reši pred komunizmom, česar Zed. države gotovo ne želijo priti v Italijo. Taylor je obsodil stališče Anglije, da mora Italija ponovno in ponovno plačati za svoje prejšnje grehe kot tepen sovražnik. "Italija je strahovito trpela in če ji zavezniki ne bodo pomagali t žave vpeljale po vojni stalno obvezno vojaško službo, ki bo trajala eno leto. Po deželi ae oglaša javno mnenje, ki je zelo za to idejo, da se mladina navadi reda in discipline, pa utrdi telo. -o- Pomagajte Ameriki, kupujte vojne bonde in znamke. v njeni stiski, jo bodo pahnili vi komunizem," je zatrdil Taylor. 1 -o- Iz slovenske naselbine v Kanadi so že 3 ubiti Iz Creighton Mine, Ontario, nam sporoča Frank Marolt, da so na 5. decembra položili, k večnemu počitku mladega rojaka Tony Smrketa, ki je dal življe-J nje za domovino nekje na morju.

MacArthur tudi naznanja, da vrše zdaj domačini uspešen ge-r i teki boj proti Japoncem na osmih glavnih otokih Filipinov. Japonci niso pričakovali te nenadne invazije, zato niso bili pripravljeni nanjo. Mindoro je glavni otok. ki leži tik južno od otoka Luzon, ki se šteje kot glavni otok Filipinov ,na katerem leži glavno mesto Manila. Invazija na Mindoro je že druga v enem mesecu na Filipinskem otočju. Na 7. decembra se je 77. ameriška divizija izkrcala na otoku Leyte. V naglem prodiranju je MacArthur osvojil glavno pristanišče Ormoc, pobil japonsko garnizijo in dobil v roke ogromne zaloge japonskega blaga. V koridoru severno od Ormoca so ostale japonske čete zajete v klešče dveh ameriških armad. Ta zadnja invazija kaže, da namerava MacArthur v kratkem nkpasti glavni otok Luzon na Filipinih, s čemer bo konec japonske oblasti na tem va/mjm otočju. -o-- Partizani so obsodili 41 Hrvatov na smrt New York. — Partizansko poveljstvo na Hrvatskem je obsodilo 41 hrvatskih u stažev na smrt.

Naivni ameriški časnikarji so zavpili, da se godi "velikemu demokratu" Sforzi strašna krivica, ker prav on da je bil, ki je šel raje v pregnanstvo, kot bi pa delal roka v roki s fašisti. Razume se, da so zavpili tudi ameriški Italijani, ki v časopisih javno protestirajo proti takemu obrekovanju njih ljubljenca Sforze. To javkanje Amerikancev italijanskega rodu razumemo, saj je znan fakt, da je vsak Italijan vprvi vrsti samo Italijan, pa naj bo že navaden delavec, grof ali pa kdo drugi. V tem oziru so Italijani vse drugače lojalni drug napram drugemu, kot smo pa, na primer — Slovenci. Italijan bi na svojega rojaka namreč nikdar ne nametal toliko blata, kot ga je Lojze Adamič na ministra Snoja. Med Italijani tudi ne slišite o kakem kvizlingu, kot je to na dolgo in široko razkladali uradni SANS o ljubljanskem škofu in drugih Slovencih. Če imajo Italijani še kako drugo lepo lastnost, ne vemo, ampak ta jim je pa šteta v vso čast. Kar se tiče izjave premierje Churchilla, da grofu Sforzi ne zaupa, da ne drži besede, podpišemo Slovenci to z vsemi štirimi. Če ima kdo kake dobre skušnje o moštvu grofa Sforze in njegovi dani besedi, potem jo imajo gotovo Slovenci. Dobro bi bilo, če bi se našel kdo, ki bi to povedal naivnim ameriškim časnikarjem, ki tako vneto zagovarjajo "demokratskega," "pravičnega" in "možbesejdo" Sforzo. Potem bi govorili drugače. Videli bi da zagovarjajo čisto navadnega političnega štrebarja, ki mu ni za drugo kot za visoke šarže in da bije njegovo veliko "demokratsko" srce samo za Italijo, pa če mora radi tega korakati preko onih, ki se ne morejo sami braniti, ker so preslabi«. Povedali bi jim lahko, med drugim, da je bi! ta "veliki demokrat" grof Sforza italijanski minister zunanjih zadev, ko so Lahoni 12. julija 1920 v najostudnejšem in najbolj pobalinskem napadu požgali Slovencem v Trstu njih narodni hram. Pa ni bilo nikdar slišati niti čitati, da bi bil grof Sforza radi tega ostudnega čina prijel koga za kravatelc. To je prav tisti grof Sforza, ki je podpisal znano ra-pallsko pogodbo 12. novembra 1920, v kateri je Italija garantirala (ne samo obljubila) jugoslovanskim narodnim manjšim vso jezikovno, kulturno in versko svobodo. Po sklenjeni rapallski pogodbi je grof Sforza izjavil pred italijanskim parlamentom, da je za Italijane častna obveza in čin politične razsodnosti, da zagotovijo Slovencem najširšo jezikovno in kulturno svobodo,, rekoč: "Mi bomo zagotovili Slovanom popolno svobodo glede rabe njihovega jezika in kulturnega razvoja. Ti novi državljani se bodo čutili srečne, da pripadajo državi, ki bo, svesta si svoje civilizacije, ki nima sebi enake, čuvala z ljubosumno skrbnostjo nad njihovo blaginjo in nad njihovim imetjem. Vsak slovenski otrok ve (ameriškim časnikarjem je seve to španska vas), kako je SfOrza z drugimi vred držal to svečano obljubo in besedo. Dan za dnem je bolj kazal in pričal, da hoče nova domovina ravnati s Slovenci po mačehovsko. Najprej so morale izginiti slovenske zastave, in bolj so izrivali slovenščino iz vsega javnega življenja, potujčili so slovenska postajna, pozneje tudi druga krajevna imena, po-itafijančili so silohia krstna in rodbinska imena, obdavčili in pozneje prepovedali so slovenske napise, odpravili so vse javne zastope, da bi se ne slišal iz njih klic užaljene pravice in tožba kruto žaljenih in ponižanih. Saj so šli celo tako daleč, da so jim bili preveč celo vklesani slovenski napisi na nagrobnih spomenikih. Najnedolžnejša graja razmer in najmanjši sum politične nezanesljivosti je peljal v ječo ali internacijo. To so delali isti kulturonosci, ki so prej nabijali po Gorici letake, govoreč: "Slovenci! Italija velika država svobode, vam da iste državljanske pravice kakor vsem drugim državljanom, tfam da šole v vašem jeziku, več kakor vam jih je dala Avstrija . . . Slovenci, bodite uverjeni, da mogočna in zmagovita Italija skrbi za vse svoje državljane kateresi-fcodi narodnosti v svojih novih mejah." Kakšne pravice so imeli in imajo Slovenci pod Italijo, ni treba pripovedovati našim čitateljem. Da pa to omenjamo je vzrok ta, ker nas je popadla sveta jeza, ko čitamo dan na dan o nekaki krivici, ki se je zgodila "velikemu demokratu" grofu Sforzu vsled izjave angleškega premierja Churchilla. V mnogem se mi s Churchiljorfi ne strinjamo, ker dela za angleški imperij pa za nič drugega, ampak ko je pa rekel, da grof Sforza ni možbeseda, smo mu pa z največjim veseljem zaploskali, ker govoril: je resnico, pa naj jo je že iz kakega sebičnega ali kakega drugega namena, Slovenci v Primor-iu so občutili na svoji koži, koliko se človek lahko zanese nar ljudi Sforzovega kova. Za Slovence v našem Primorju bi bila največja božjd kazen, če bi prišel Sforza na vlado v kakem važnem uradu. Nismo še namreč pozabili njegove izjave, da se meje Italije iz leta 1918 ne sme premakniti. Premier Churchill je govoril Slovencem iz srca. Da bomo popolnoma na jasnem Iz urada tajnika JPO-SS V listu "Jugoslovanski Ob-zor," Milwaukee, Wisconsin, je bil dne 1. decembra t. 1. priob-čen članek pod zaglavjem, ki se glasi: "Ali JPO-SS res nima pravice pošiljati pomoči v stari kraj?" Enako vprašanje sem dobil tudi od raznih drugih strani. Da bomo popolnoma na jasnem, kar se tega vprašanja tiče, želim tukaj citirati gotov del mojega poročila, ki sem ga v tem oziru podal pri seji glavnega odbora JPO-SS, ki se je vršila dne 14. nov. t. 1. To poročilo bo priobčeno tudi v zapisniku omenjene seje, ki bo v kratkem v časopisih priobčen. Moje poročilo, tikajoče se tega vprašanja, se glasi: "Čital sem v časopisih in tako mi je bilo tudi od več strani povedano, da se širijo govorice, da JPO-SS nima in da tudi ne bo dobil dovoljenja, za pošiljatev blaga v Jugoslavijo. Te vrste pisanje in govoričenje je brez vsake podlage in ne odgovarja resnici. Naša pomožna akcija je na pristojnem mestu v Washington, D. C. registrirana in ima dovoljenje zbirati prispevke in bo tudi dobila dovoljenje za odpošiljatev blaga, kadar bo potrebno in kadar bomo za isto vprašali. Res je, da takega dovoljenja sedaj še nimamo, to pa iz razloga, ker za dovoljenje še nismo vprašali. Vsak pameten človek lahko ve, da dokler imamo od vlade izdano dovoljenje za zbirati prispevke, da nam bo vlada tu- j i cii dovolila poslati blago in J I druge potrebščine narodu v stari kraj, kadar bomo za tako dovoljenje vprašali. Govorice in trditve, da takega dovoljenja nimamo, ter da ga tudi dobili ne bomo, so le propaganda in pesek v oči javnosti. m Na rokah imam pismo od eksekutiviiega direktorja "President's War Relief Control Board, Washington, D. C.," v katerem je jasno in odločno povedano, da vse štiri jugoslovanske pri vladi v Washingto-nu registrirane pomožne akcije, med katere pomožne akcije spada tudi JPO-SS, imajo pravico pošiljati blago v Jugoslavijo. Iz tega je razvidno, da vse temu nasprotno pisanje in govoren je, ne odgovarja resnici." To je del mojega poročila, ki sem ga podal pri seji izvršnega odbora JPO, dne 14. novembra, in je del zapisnika omenjene seje. Ponovno torej poudarjam, da vsaka trditev, da JPO-SS nima in da ne bo imel pravice poslati pomoči narodu v stari kraj, ni prav nič druzega, kot politična propaganda in pesek v oči slovenskemu narodu. Toliko v blagohotno pojasni- ; lo, da bomo, kar se tega vprašanja tiče, popolnoma na jasnem.

Prošene ste, da se gotovo vse udeležite in tako poka-žete svoje zanimanje za društvo, ki dela v korist našega svetišča in kadar žrtvujete svoj čas in denar v ta namen ,si s tem nabirate dobra dela. Razveselile boste pa tudi našo požrtvovalno predsednico Katie Robert in našo pridno tajnico Mary Hočevar, če pridete v velikem številu. Da bomo imele pa tudi zabavo, bomo izmenjavale tudi božična darilca. Katero veseli, naj prinese darilce v vrednosti 50 centov. Za prigrizek je pa Mrs. Posh obljubila nekaj dobrega in tudi druge članice so obljubile nekaj podobnega. Ker smo pa v zelo resnih časih in marsikateri materi krvavi srce radi te vojne, zato je potrebna molitev bolj kot kaj drugega, smo sklenile že na zadnji seji, da bomo molile devetdne-vnico pred božičem. Začetek v soboto 16. decembra ob sedmih zvečer in zaključek bo na sveti večer. K tem molitvam je vabljeno vse občinstvo, ker vsi potrebujemo molitve. Frances Perme, zapisnikarica. prej ne nazaj.

St. (Dec. 8, 9, 15, 16) FOOTBALL New York's Giants last Sunday struck home twice in the first six minutes, drubbed Washington's Redskins, 31-0, and entered the National Professional Football League play-off with Green Bay's Packers, whom they routed in a league game, 24-0 on Nov. 19. Capitalizing on two fumbles by Sammy Baugh for their "quickie" touchdowns,- the Gians sewed up the eastern division title before the season's sixth straight capacity throng of 35,540 in Washington, and will meet the Packers for the championship at New York Polo Grounds Sunday. HOCKEY Aroused when their star center, Les Cunningham, was clubbed over the head in the second minute of the game by a player, who only 12 hours before had been his teammate, the Cleveland Barons turned on the speed to defeat the St. Louis Flyers, 5 to 2, before 9,888 fans Saturday night at the Arena. The man who walloped Cunningham with such force, that he shattered his stick was John Horeck, who up to noon or thereabouts on Saturday, had been a member of the Barons. On Monday, Horeck called Cunningham via long distance from Buffalo to say he was sorry about the incident. He also wrote a letter of apology to Bun CoOk, coach of the Barons, and asked Bun to convey his regrets to Cunningham and owner A1 Sutphin. BASEBALL The major leagues of baseball on Monday abolished the office of commissioner, vacated by the recent death of Kenesaw Mountain Landis, but set up machinery to which it will "be reestablished when a successor to the late czar is found. Pending appointment of a new commissioner, the duties formerly discharged by Laridis will be in the hands of a three-man board consisting of Ford Frick and Will Harridge, presidents, respectively of the National and American Leagues, and Leslie M. O'Connor, secretary to Landis throughout his 23-year regime. The Cleveland Indians announced the trade of Oris Hockett for Ed Car-nett, outfielder, from Chisox." Base-bail and press headquarters were of the unanimous opinion that the Indians had got all the better of the transaction. However, a catch was discovered in the fact that Carnett, a left-handed hitting outfielder, is 1-A in the draft, and in view of recent selective service developments,' likely to be called for military service. Hockett is 4-F. WRESTLING Although four performers were detained in Buffalo because of the weather, Promoted Jack GanSOn went through with his mat show at Public Hall Tuesday night. In the featiire bout, Cliff Gustaf-son threw Leo Numa twice in 22 minutes. Strangler Lewis, Cliff's manager and Ganson himself filled in for the missing matmen.

ENdicott 3113 as Jones, Crawford, Hanley, Hawley, Rojeck and Co. rolled them in with regularity. The score was 52-15 despite the fact that Shore's starting five did not play much of the game. Friday night found Shore battling Willoughby on her home floor and after the powder and smoke were clear Shore was ahead 30-29. This was an excelleng game with Shore leading 12-5 at the first quarter, 19-18 at the half, and the two teams deadlocked at 24-24 at the third period. Each Shore player shared in the scoring showing what a well-rounded team' they have, while Shore was able to Hold Willoughby's forwards scoreless. » Back on their home court Saturday night, the Admirals returned to their scoring pace defeating Mentor 63-19. Again ten players participated and all shared in the scoring with Hawley, Jones, Crawford, and Obert leading the way. Shore fans are really missing something if they have not seen rhis ' smooth working, high-scoring quintet at work. Their speed and abil-ty to handle the ball makes them well worth seeing. Shore will now rest until December 29 when they travel to Ashtabula to take on their third Lake County League rival. This is always an interesting and fast game. On January 5, the Admirals travel to Berea where they meet the fast-stepping leaders of the Southeastern Conference. Then on January 12 Maple Heights, a member of the southern divisoin of our league, comes to Shore with a fine high scor-ng record. -o- ST.

It's pleasure! Boy, we ought to be thankful to Hank Gryzbowski, who so willingly offered his time to show the pictures of our most recent football game. Did we notice the mistakes we made n our runs??? I'll say we did and we will believe our sideline criticizers ,iext time, too. How well "Hefch" Barbis fell, as lie was tackled, a few yards from the ^oal line. . m Wow! "Owners" Erjavec ran a nice distance, and that for a touchdown, almost. Yes, sir, that was "Whitey" Koporc vho made the first touchdown for the Mozeites." Do you remember how you did it??? Wasn't the player, witlj a torn sweat shirt. Sonny Rotar? We recognized yotL< didn't we? Say, Bill McSweeny, you certainly did throw a beautiful block at Moze. Could you do it again if you had to?? The ball was put back where the forward 'motion was stopped' by "Wil-iie" Pike. Were you pleased with your picture, "Willie?" Now we are convinced that Miller tackles very low, for we saw him ackle Barbis by his ankles. Who taught "Chuck" Smerdel to block so well? He blocked out "Whitey" nicely that one time, when he was on the loose for a sure touchdown. Well, the spectators were caught unexpectedly by the eye-of-the-camcra. Were some of us surprised to see ourselves on the sidelines. Talk about queer expressions on faces, we sure had them! Miller's cheer leaders, yelling to beat the band .made a wonderful cross-section picture of the crowd. Why, there was even a bugle in the crowd. We didn't notice it on that eventful day. After observing our oddities for about a half hour, we were not too well pleased with ourselves. If we have learned anything from them, we did make a resolution to take orders from the Captain. He is the head and it's always best to follow the orders of one \yho is supposed to know.

Casualties are rapidly increasing—all "our servicemen" are withstanding unspeakable hardships. They danger with "a hope" in their hearts and "a prayer" on their lips. Excerpts from a final letter, written by the deceased Eddie Miller, depict the con fidence in God and the preparedness of our lads for the supreme sacrifice. Ed stated, "The Good Lord has been with me in so many close calls that 1 have only Him to thank for my being alive today. With His continued guidance I'm sure I'll epme thru all of this in one piece. As long as I know I'm coming home some day, I don't mind fighting in mud, rain, snow and the cold, for some day I'll make up for all discomfort? I've had over here. About the only thing that keeps i man's morale up over here is the letters from you people back home. Believe me they're greatly appreciated, as are all of your prayers. Hoping and praying for an early peace and victory and hoping to see all of you soon, I am, Eddie." These beautiful lines expressed the thoughts of one of "our boys" who gave up his life on foreign battle fields. Read them— absorb them—and than remember him and all who have gone before him, in your prayers. Letters and prayers 'are essential, s0 do your duty for the "fighting men."
