many's Oth city. This force was
204 miles from Berlin.
In central Poland the red
army tide rolled on toward the
Polish corridor 238 miles from
Berlin on the direct road from
Warsaw.
Capture . of Tilsit was an
nounced by Marshal Stalin in
his second order of the day.
Fall of the city, scene in 1807
of one of the greatest humilia
tions in Teutonic history, the
signing of. the peace ot Tilsit
by Napoleon and Russia's Alex
ander the Great, was foreshad
owed yesterday when Cherniak
hovsky's forces crossed the
Memel river only five miles
southeast of Tilsit.
Begins Drive
Simultaneously he had begun
a drive from the east which
sliced between Tilsit and Inster
burg, cutting the railway to the
south.
The sama army captured
Britik-Kujswski, ssven miles
southwest of Wloclawak. Both
ware described by Stalin as
strong points in the German
defenses. This represented
gains of 23 miles or more in
24 hours.
Tilsit was Cherniakhovsky's
biggest prize, but he also took
Gross Kaisgirren, 45 miles
northeast of Konigsberg. chief
city of East Prussia. He cap
tured Kaukehnen. 15 miles
northwest of Tilsit and only
nine miles from the Baltic, in a
new crossing of the Memel.
Sweeping Advance ,
In his first order of the day
Stalin announced a sweeping ad
vance up to 18 miles on a 65
mile front in .Galicia. southern
Poland, and across the breadth
of eastern Slovakia.
Nowy Sacz, 10 miles from the
old Czechoslovak border in Po
land, Presov in Slovakia, Kassa
on the Slovak-Hungarian border
and Bardejov fell to the Rus
sians in this advance southeast
of Krakow.
The Germans were thus
driven out of the eastern fifth
of Slovakia and the Russians
came within 125 miles of the
Moravia, part of the Czech pro
tectorate ruled from Prague.
German broadcasts told of
fierce battling everywhere
against the red armies totaling
3,000,000 men, along the 800-
mile tront.

tN the Pacific, nolc- that for
DAYS Halscy's fleet has been
sailing up and down the China
coast, sending out its planes to
blast Jap installations on shore
and sinking Jap ships.
Got out your map and take a
look at this inland ocean that

been OWNED by the Japs. You
will be enormously impressed.
Where is the Jap fleet whose
units ought to be sallying out
and smacking our bold ships'.'
Where are the Jap land-based
planes that ought to be coming
offshore and bombing us to the
bottom?
These ships we are sinking
are the Jap life line to their
seized rubber and oil kingdom
in the south. Along these snores
of the South China sea, often
within sight of the breakers,
runs the ONLY rail line by
which the Japs can reach their
empire to the south. You may be

SURPRISINGLY, Jap opposi

Luzon is heaviest on our flank

that the little yellow men had

It doesn't sound reasonable.
Still, why are they letting us
push closer and ever closer to
Manila?
Are they going to copy our
stand on Bataan?
ON the home front, SCARCI

growing importance. Especially
scarcity of food. One almost be
lieves it.
The thing for us home front
crs to do is, to tighten our belts
and take whatever comes. We
aren't going to be hurt. It will do
us good to take our share (infin
itesimal as it is) of the hardships
of war. By doing so uncomplain

From the south portico of the
White House, which he himself
selected for the scene of the
third wartime inauguration in
history, the president surveyed
a hushed park full of spectators,
standing in slush and snow.

Around him were members
of his family and high digni

"In the days and in the years

"we shall work for a Just and

"We can and we will achieve
such a peace."
Glitter Gone
Not since Lincoln's day had
Washington seen a wartime in
auguration. Gone were the glit
ter and fanfare, and, keying the
event to the times, spectators
were limited to five or six thou
sand guests, mostly government
officials or democratic party ex
ecutives. They were packed onto the
spacious south lawn.
Other Washingtonians had a
remote view of the proceedings
from beyond the black iron

be denied any information.
"There are at the moment a
very substantial number of men
overdue from embarkation

foreseen and contingent plans
laid toward it, should it occur."
Before the censorship direc

20 per cent of the British Colum

WASHINGTON. Jan. 20 W)
Senator republicans began today
to talk about Senator Arthur
Vandcnbcrg, their Michigan col
lcasue. as a nosnlble GOl' candi
date for president in 11)48.
Vandonberg has been listed in
the potential category before
in fact was an active but suc
cessful aspirant for his parly's
nomination in 19311 and 1U40. He
announced last year that ho was
through with such campaigning
but the unusual reaction which
greeted his recent foreign policy
speech in the senate has boosted
linn into tne ume-iigni again.
Doesn't Want It
The 60-ycar-old Michigan leg
islator, however, wants no part
of it. He has stressed that he
wants to approach foreign policy
problems on a non-partisan
basis.
He told a reporter that he has
no desire, to be president.
"Suppose the office seeks the
man?'r he was asked.
"If you hear of that." he re
torted, "let mo know and I'll run
the other way."
Different Ideas
But some ot his colleagues on
the republican, side of the aisle
have different ideas.
Senator White of Maine, the
minority leader, said he thought
Vandcnberg had estab 1 1 s h o d
himself in a uosition of leader
ship in foreign affairs by his ad
vocacy oi tne immeaiato signing
of a treaty among the major al
lies to guarantee postwar demil
itarization of Germany and
Japan.
As the leading republican
member of the foreign relations
committee, Vandenberg may
play an important part in peace
discussions, at least in tho
senate.
