Sifk Saver WW V3 I Leningrad Braces for Onslaught of Germans (Continued from page 1) toward Leningrad from the south had captured the ancient walled city of Novgorod, 100 miles be low Leningrad, In bitter fighting against the red army defenders. In the critical battle of Lenin grad, soviet Marshal Voroshllov admitted that the Germans were attacking the city's approaches and dramatically called on the Inhabitants to fight to the death. "Stand firm to the end," he ex horted. "Death to the bloody fas cist German robbers!" The Berlin radio, reporting the swift fall of Novgorod, also claimed the capture of Narva, 81 miles southwest of Leningrad, and Kinglsepp, the rail gate to Leningrad, 25 miles farther east. This would place the Germans In that sector within 5t miles ot Leningrad. In the critical battle of the Ukraine, the Germans reported their seizure of the strategic town of Kherson, on the west bank of the lower Dnieper river, thereby virtually sealing red army troops in the Odessa sector. Great Dam Blown Up. DNB, the official German news agency, said nazl siege guns and Stuka dive-bombers were raining havoc on Odessa, in flicting tremendous losses on so velt troops awaiting embarkation on jammed quays. Great fires were reported raging in many parts of the city. Amid this desperate plight of the red armies in the Ukraine, unconfirmed reports circulated In European listening posts that the Russians had opened or blown up the great $100,000,000 Dnieper river dam, near Dnleperopetrovsk, In an attempt to stem the nazl onslaught. Built by American engineers, the dam Is 200 feet high and was the world's largest hydroelectric plant before the construction of Boulder dam. Nazis Score Big Victory. Besides claiming the capture of three key cities In the main Len ingrad defense ring. Hitler's high command announced the "crush- Ing defeat" and partial destruc tion of 25 Russian divisions about 375,000 troops as well as two nir-borne brigades In a great battle around Gomel, on the cen tral front, midway between Smolensk and Kiev. The Germans said red army prisoners taken In the battle had mounted to 81,000. Reports from Helsinki said Fin nish columns fighting on the Karelian Isthmus had captured the towns of Vuoksenranta and Raisala, 65 miles from Leningrad. The capital of old imperial Rus sia thus was under assault from three directions. Turkey Now Threatened. An axis threat to Turkey and the Turkish-controlled Dardan elles was reported by foreign dip lomatic sources in Ankara. These sources said advance units of two nazl army divisions had arrived in Bulgaria, Italian patrols had been scouting the Turkish-Greek border, and Italian garrisons on Greek Islands near the Dardanelles had been strengthened. There was little overnight ac tion In the air war In the west. The British said a few German planes dropped bombs in East Anglia, but did little damage. The Germans acknowledged that soviet bombers had entered northern Germany, but minimiz ed the results of those attacks and mentioned no British raids.

Aluminum Output Of U.S. Soon To Outdo Germany's ' PITTSBURGH, Aug. 21-(AP) The Aluminum Company of America, stepping up Its effort for national defense, with the aid of $52,000,000 worth of new plants Just allowed it by the gov ernment, expects to bo outpro ducing Germany within a short time. uisciusing uie company s em ployment has Jumped from 25, 000 when the emergency period began to 50,000 and that its pro- auction win no increased from the present 7fi0.000.000 pounds a year to l.itxi.uoo.uoo, a spokes man saici touay: "Our only bottleneck now lack of power and ships to bring bauxite (aluminum ore) from South America." Louis Marllo, economist of the Brookings institute, estimated some time ago that America's projected aluminum output of 1.. ouo.ooo.iXK) pounds a year ago will give the Anglo-American nations twice the capacity of German v ann tne countries it now controls. ALCOA s alone would equal Cor many's It was said. Announcement the government had obtained a two cents a pound cut in aluminum prices In connection with a $100,000,000 program to. expand production of the metal for airplanes was made In Washington yesterday bv Jesse H. Jones, federal loan administrator. The reduction, bringing the price of raw aluminum from 17 cents to 15 cents a pound and cut. ting all other types of metal at least two cents a pound, will Rave the government about $15,000,000 annually, Jones estimated. The company spokesman said about one-half of the Bauxite now being used has been Imnorted, the company conserving its biggest domestic supply in Arkansas as reserve In event of a bigger emer gency. Ho estimated there was enough In Arkansas to supply the company for eight years. Exact sites of new plants have not been decided but the com pany will build one In Arkansas to make 400,000,000 pounds of alumina, an Intermediate m-oduct ln conversion of bauxite Into aluminum, and three smelting plants, one at Massena, N.

That's why our subterranean spring water makes Olympia Beer different and better Surely you have noticed the difference in water some makes better tea and coffee than others. Water may be too hard or too soft, too acid or too alkaline. Others are chemically purified or chlorinated. All these interfere with normal brewing processes and affect the ultimate character of the beer. The perfection in qualify of Olympia Beer is due not alone to premium quality ingredients, but to the rare waters of our subterranean springs, famed fox their natural punry and brewing qualities. It's the Water9 -that makes Olympia Beer Different and Better?
