JlfAC ARTHUR calls on the

is the aid that can be rendered
by a friendly population behind
the enemy lines.
"THE hot spot of the European
war today- is the fall of
Aachen. The nazis tried to make
a Stalingrad of it, but failed.
Here's an odd note in the
Aachen news:
"Young German officers,
many ot them not long back
from the Russian front, threw
away their Jives to gain another
oak leaf cluster on their iron
crosses waging warfare FOR
VANITY."
We're not fighting for vanity
or for any weird Bushido

END THE WAR.

groups (an army group is the
LARGEST military unit) are

Germans say that still another is

The Russians are SAYING
