' The demurrer was a legal move In the action Involving the Buckhorn Springs property near Ashland, and pending in the court for several months in va rious phases. Infantry massed along the front, with the heaviest fury of the at tack centering In the Laon-Sois-sons sector. The whole battle line extend ed from Laon to Abbeville. 12 miles from the English chan nel. With the conflict still In too early a stage for decisive results. Premier Reynaud of France con fidently predicted thai the allies can hope for a favorable issue of the struggle." "France has decided to fight to the end with her British ally for the liberty of the world," Reynaud declared. Violence Increases Toward nightfall, the battle increased In violence in the stifling heat, smoke and dust of the fields. German bombers meanwhile raided an unidentified area in central France, and French fighting planes and anti-air craft struck bark. Touched Off By Hitler Touched off by the German fuehrer himself from his head quarters on the western front, the massive attack began ai 4:04 a. m. (7:04 p. m. Tuesday. P. S. T.) with a furious artillery barrage against the French lines. While the Nazi air force thundered overhead, bombing and strafing, masses of uni formed German infantry moved forward through the dawn haze. The heaviest blows were di rected at the region of Amiens and along the Ailette canal, between Laon and Soissons. The latter is only 58 miles from Paris. Berlin declared Paris the apparent target of the new blitzkrieg lay "practically ex posed" to the German on slaught. Peace Offer Hinted With Belgium crushed In a 26-day campaign. Hitler sent his legions striking Into the heart of France with a hint that he had offered the allies some kind of peace terms possibly a separate peace to only one side and had been rejected. This, In his "order of the day" addressed to his armies, the fuehrer declared: "The plutocratio rulers of England and France, who pledged each other to avoid ' with all means the bloom of a new and better world, want a continuation of the war." London several day ago re ported that Hitler was expected to offer a separate peace in an attempt to split the allies and Prime Minister Churchill pledged yesterday that Britain would fight "alone If necessary" to win the war.

They live in caves or huts, wear long gray beards and eat everything from berries to nuts. They don't, as a rule, buy anything. Self respecting hermits spend most of their time meditating, contemplating and talking to them selves. Their minds are hermit-ically sealed to anything going on in the world. In fact, what really puts hermits in a class by themselves is that they don't care a hang about the news. But for everyone excepting hermits, news is a vital necessity of everyday life. Since the day Eve told Adam about the apple, news has been the leading topic of conversation all day long. S0MI Or T H I ADVANTAGES And today the craving for the news is stronger than ever before . . . because never before has the individual's welfare and happiness been so in timately affected by events at home and abroad. That's why your daily newspapers draw a larger and more intensely interested audience . . . day after day . . . than any other medium. And that, in turn, is the fundamental reason why your ad vertising in newspapers inevitably hits harder, works faster and brings more immediate results.
