which he had not taken time to

Advancing from the Hamman
Lif area on the north side of the
neck, the British first army
- crossed the base of the peninsula
to the outskirts of Hammamet
on the south side, and took Soil'
man, Grombalia and Menzel Bou
Zelfa In the center, the communi
que announced.
(A Reuters dispatch from al
lied headquarters said the Brit
ish entered Hammamet early
this morning.)
Crowd Cap Boa
, Scorched by allied fire from
land, sea and air, the remnants
of the German and Italian armies
which were crowded onto Cap
Bon appeared to have lost their
nerve after the bold, swift stroke
by British armor and the pros
pects of a last stand on the
mountain-ribbed peninsula were
diminishing.
The opposition from these
troops was slight, and the trap
ped soldiers were inclined to sur
render at the first opportunity
as British naval forces scoured
nearby waters in what was de
scribed as a "mopping up" of
small parties attempting a disor
ganized escape.
Pilots who continued to sweep
the beaches reported little activ
ity and said"the cornered enemy
apparently had recognized the
futility of attempting to get
away, while huge fires blazing
along the roads of the bomb
riddled cape indicated the Ger
mans already were burning their
supplies.
; - Prisoners Taken
More than 5000 prisoners were
taken by the British in their
lightning thrust across the penin
sula, including 600 members of
the crack Hermann Goering reg
iment which had fought strong
ly around Hamman Lif from en
trenched and buried tanks. This
unit appeared to have lost its
nerve along with other units who
were surrendering in companies
even though their ammunition
and supplies were not yet ex
hausted. Captured along with the flood
of prisoners were messages of
encouragement sent to the front
lines by both Adolf Hitler and
Benito Mussolini. It was not
known when the messages were
sent but there was no evidence
that they had had any effect on
the enemy's resistance.
The nazis had attempted to
stop the British drive by using
their tanks, drained of fuel, as
fortresses, but when the British
renewed their deadly assault yes
terday morning opposition
cracked and the armor of Lieut.
Gen. K. A. N. Anderson swept
through to the south coast area
with but little difficulty.
Peacock Feather
Pulling Irks City
Park Caretaker
E. E. Spencer, caretaker at
Moore park, has had many trials
and tribulations, but he really
hit the ceiling this week when
he found the tall feathers pulled
out from one of the park's pet
peacocks.
City police were called to the
park by Spencer and investiga
tion made. One of the birds had
two full length feathers and two
pieces broken from his elegant
train. Small boys told Spencer
that "bigger boys" were to
blame for the act.

That No Bombs Fall!
'Get your enemy before he gets you! The
bomb that does not fall can do no deadly
work!" These thoughts speed the men at our
onti-alrcraft guns to pick off their would-be
attackers.
Illness is on enemy, too . . we can often elimi
nate before it can attack. Our preventive
weapons here are scientific diet, adequate rest
and regular physical check-ups . . . with faith
ful adherence to any health advice our physi

with Jailley. They were both
quick to learn and became
capable loggers in their own
right, doing all the tricks that
Jailley did and adding some of
their own. In 1903 John John
ston took a logging contract to
log 45 million feet a year for the
Garth Lumber company, at
Garth, Michigan. J. C. John
ston joined him as a junior part
ner, Jacob Mortenson was presi
dent and manager of this com
pany. Strong, Clean Man
It was then that the writer, a
very young boy, met the John
stons. J. C. Johnston, or "Jim,"
was interested in teaching a lad
all that he could, his pupil
formed a great admiration for
this strong, clean living, capable
man of the woods who so easily
led and directed other hard
working,- hard fighting and
husky woodsmen. This feeling
lasted throughout the years.
From; him he learned the rudi
ments of the woods.
A few years later "Jim" John
ston was logging boss for the
Tower Lumber company at Tow
er, Minn. He later logged for
the Alger-Smith company in
Minnesota and worked for them
until 1911. The Pelican Bay
Lumber company began logging
in Klamath county in 1911. The
writer wanted J. C. Johnston
very much, and he came. He
was the first logging sUDerin-
tendent to conduct logging on a
fairly large scale In this county.
Scores of trained woodsmen fol
lowed him, thus through "Jim"
Johnston a real migration of
good men began. They came
from famous camps in Minne
sota, Wisconsin and Michigan.
Many of these men are still
working in our forests and they
all have a real spot in their
bearts for "Jim."
Rough, Ready
"Jim" Johnston was a rare
product of the rough and ready
lumber business, a kindly but de
termined man. He ran a clean
camp, he introduced logging in
novations into our county, he
was the first to bring in slip
tongue wheels and he was the
only man to experiment with
sleigh logging in the Klamath
woods.
He was the first to trv trae-
tors In the woods, he was the
first to inaugurate a complete
o-uck camp operation, and with
23 Ford trucks, he wheeled them
in. He set a loading record for
an eight-hour day which stood

for many years, perhaps it still
stands.
Jim could bark an order, but
he seldom did. He handled his
crew through interest in them
and by fair play.;
Good Example
He was always happiest when
his family joined him in the
woods for the summer. His de
votion to his wife and his chil
dren set a real example for the
best of men.
"From the spring of 1911 un
til 1939, he was in full charge of
all company timber and logging
operations for the Pelican Bay
Lumber company, which respon
sibility he was forced to relin
quish because of illness.
"Klamath has lost its first log
ger, a picturesque, fine gentle
man of the old school, a man
who will be held in the memory
of our lumber industry for a
long, long time."

freighter was reported sunk in
the Barents Sea.
Planet Destroyed
(The German radio asserted
today that 474 soviet planes had
been destroyed in the week end
ing last Saturday against a lorn
o( only 36 German planes, and
that the Russians had lost 166
tanks in the Kuban bridgehead
since April 29).
The noon communique told
how a red army detachment
stormed Into the German
trenches In their Novoroasisk de
fense lines, killing 80 of the
enemy to hold the position. In
repulsing an axis counterattack
in another sector of the battle
zone. 200 Germans were killed,
a large quantity of guns was cap
tured, and enemy equipment was
destroyed. It said.
The midnight communique
credited red army artillery with
smashing German gun positions
and blockhouses In the Novoris-
sisk defense line.
A German attempt to answer
tho red air force sweep against
their rail lines and supply cen
ters by sending 200 planes in an
attack on the Rostov-Bataisk
area, gateway to the Caucasus,
was met by withering anti-air
craft fire which brought down 43
of the raiders, it was reported,
On the ground, in the narrow-
mg strip of the German-held
Kuban, large forces grappled In
trenches, in the valleys and on
the mountainsides, with the Rus
sians aiming at the systematic
extermination of the Germans
and Rumanians.
Red Star, the red army news
paper, said the German defense
line around Novorocsisk "is deep
and built for permanent de
fense." The first trenches were cap
tured Sunday and since then the
Russians have been creeping for
ward, blasting enemy positions.

This morning the armored ad
vance guard swept forward nine
to 13 miles as the enemy de
fense collapsed in a mad bout.
Huge stocks of military sup
plies were found untouched in
the warehouses of big vineyards
near Grombalia and Sollman.
In their frantic haste the en
emy failed to blow up any bridge
or to lay a single mine.
The wireless in a tank began
sputtering and I could hear the
cool, oxonian accent of some
squadron leader reporting from
his patrol.
"Quite an interesting story
here, sir," the voice said. "We
have met a British soldier who
was captured and disarmed last
night. This morning, he says,
the Germans gave him back his
rifle. Now he Is here with 200
Germans who surrendered to
him."

Keep your fingers crossed, but
this might be Important.
Bulgaria lies next-door to

One of the gateways to the

SWITZERLAND is our obvious

Still, today's Swiss reports art
Interesting.
A Berlin dispatch to the news
paper Geneve says the Germans
are walking around today as If
they'd been hit on the head and
stunned. Their bewilderment,
Geneve's correspondent says. Is
due to the fact that Rommel's re
treat from EI Alamein clear back
to Tunisia has been pictured to
the home folk as a foxy volun
tary retirement designed to lead
the British Into a trap. They
can't understand his sudden an
nihilation. Painting rosy pictures for the
people at home Is all right up to
a certain point, but when disaster
strikes and the TRUTH has to
come out, the home front re
action to such a policy can be
dangerous.

People everywhere grab at of

correspondent wrote, but said
that at the moment official in

tain. He added that to under
stand the astonishment of the
German people, it must be real
ized that, during the long re
treat across Africa by axis forces,
It was never intimated that the
German withdrawal was "any
thing but voluntary.".
Yesterday, the dispatch said,
all of Berlin's newspapers were
full of the Tunisian situation and
spoke of a fight to the last cart
ridge, adding that the press and
propaganda agencies were "now
having difficulty to explain the
affair."
Tho Bern Der Bund said that
the American fighting ability,
which "had not been held high
ly" by Berlin, came as a shock
to all axis military leaders, and
Europe's neutral press praised
the allied leadership and men.
