Egyptians Hope For Head of Mummy-in-Law CAIRO, April 12 (1 The mummified head of King Tut-Ankh-Amen's mother-in-law was reported today to be among the art treasures which the Americans found buried in the Merkens salt mines in Germany and the Egyptians want it back. The Egyptians hope they have better luck persuading the allied commission of t h e validity of their claim to the head o"f their ancient queen than they had with the Ger mans. A German expedition to Egypt discovered Queen Nef ertiti's head in 1934 and hur ried off with it to Germany where it became a chief at traction in the Berlin mu seum. A series of Egyptian diplomatic protests failed to get the head back. 1 v :. ' - Ncwtq; Cream Deodorant Stop Perspiration Xs Doss apt gr-gzae skin.

A joint statement by Secre tary of War Stimson and Secre tary of State Stettinius, charg ing" Germany with "steadily in creasing failure" to live up to the Geneva convention in treat ment of prisoners, declared that in general "conditions under which American prisoners arc held in Germany today are de plorable." Col. A. H. Brawner asserted in Chicago meanwhile that Ger man war prisoners in the sixth service command "never have been granted extra meals, be tween meal snacks or luxuries of any kind." Brawner was commenting on complaints voiced by CIO and AFL leaders at Granite City, 111., that German prisoners working there had been allowed extra meals and other favors. The war department said there was no general policy pro viding for snacks for prisoners, but it was learned that "gen eral tightening up" is underway at various camps and that Ger man prisoners are going to lose some of the privileges which they have had. It was empha sized, however, that their treat ment will conform to the Gene va convention. On Bread. Water One indication of sterner handling came from Belle Glade, Fla., where 250 prison ers at a cannery were put on a bread and water diet after they had gone on a two-day strike in protest against a delay in the arrival of their allotment of cigarettes. And Rep. Cliff (D-Tenn.), member of the house military committee, says he will move for an investigation of condi tions at prisoner of war camps in this country. . The statement by Stimson and Stettinius told 'of efforts to help relieve the plight of Amer ican prisoners in Germany but stressed that the big problem was the shipment of. Red Cross supplies to the camps. WEATHER Wednesday, April 11, 1913 Max. Mtn. Preclp. Eugene JL.V....

Even gestures such as this are losing their force as the end of the world nears for the foul thing that ,we know as naii Germany. . , A FRENCH report, not yet confirmed, tells of the drop ping of allied parachutists at Brandenburg, only 20 miles from Berlin. All along the western front, this morning's dispatches report, the war has become a hound and hare chase of disorganized and shattered German armies that have lost the'r last water line the Elbe before Berlin. IN all this world-shaking news from the western front, the Americans are getting the glory. Our armies are carrying the ball. Our western allies, the Brit ish and the Canadians, arc shouldering the equally grim and bloody but less spcctaculir task of cleaning out the Ger mans along the North sea and the Baltic. The British are closing in on the U-boat nest at Bremen and are reaching for Hamburg or what little is left of it. The Canadians are mopping up Germans in Holland. IENNA Is all but gone Its v fall expected by tonight. Already the Russians have by passed and for the moment for gotten it. They are booming up the Danube, and the Ger mans report today that they are 40 miles west of Vienna. SIGNIFICANTLY, the Rus sians are reported today only 115 miles from BERCHTES GADEN. They were 133 miles away at the last report They're creeping up on the rat hole. HERE'S an eerie and histor- ically shuddering note in me news today. TENS OF THOU SANDS of SLAVE laborers are revolting and gaining their free dom in Germany. The WRATH OF THE SLAVE has been dreaded almost since the world began. IN Italy, General Clark says the final battles for the liberation of the country have begun. As the allied armies in Italy begin to move northward, toward the upper end of the Adriatic, the Germans begin to move out of Yugoslavia, hoping to avoid an other trap. Ordered also, perhaps, to get back into the mountain citadel for the last fight of the cornered wolves. rN Okinawa, the grim, no quarter artillery battle goes Into its eighth .day. There is no substantial change In the lines there, Nlmltz reports. The Japs make as many as FOUR determined - and well-prepared counterattacks in a single day. Our casualties are announced today as 2693 432 killed, 2103 wounded and 160 missing. We are said to be killing eleven Japs for each man we lose by death or wounds. - But it will take a long time to kill 60,000 Japs.
