It would be a real calamity if the French factions couldn't get together.

License Fees Due City Must Be in By January 15 First of the year holds many headaches along with extra taxes, income taxes, holiday bills and license fees. Chief of Police Earl Heuvel was particularly interested in the payment of license fees due the city and said he "expected" all fees to be paid by January 15. He also observed that 15 days of grace should be suffi cient. "If fees are not paid by Janu ary 15, this department will be forced to follow the ordinance to the letter," the chief said. The ordinance, incidentally, im poses a penalty on delinquent fees. Bike License Applications Lag; ' Deadline Jan. 15 Only 30d of the 1800 bicycles in the city have been licensed. according to Recreation Officer Dave Bridge.

Red Star said the main line ot German fortifications at the east ern end of the Caucasus front was shattered Monday when the Russians stormed the ap proaches to Nalchik and occu pied the city after a terrific street battle. Cossacks Play Epic Still other forces rolled the Germans back to the west at an accelerated rate, with tanks and infantry overwhelming enemy centers of resistance, the army newspaper reported. - Don Cossack guard ists, swing ing their sabres in mounted ac tion and then dismounting for action with modern automatic weapons, were reported playing an epic part in the Caucasus cam paign. , Another Victory book cam paign was under way this week and this time donors are asked to be especially careful in their gifts, cleaving close to the line "Would I want to read this my self?" Books may be left at the city or county libraries and will be forwarded to the army and navy service. According to a local librarian, less than one-third the books re ceived in the last campaign were usable. Some were old, worn text books, others were obsolete reference books, and there were many in such condition that they reached the ash can instead of a soldier or sailor' library. Sug gested are the paper back mur der mysteries and best sellers. These are small, are sold in large quantities and when once the purchaser has read them through should be in good condition and a welcome addition. The army and navy library service has made an effort to give each man going overseas one good book to take with. him. The campaign is sponsored by the American Library, associ ation, the American Red Cross and the united Service organ izations.
