Francis Wotheil is a grandson of the late Levi Arnott andi the Arnott famiiv were real pioneers. Jerry M.Nilisoni is a grantison of the late Eber Milîson of the 7th conees- fsion and the Milîsons too were pioncers, and stili own very extensive farrn properties.

A SIeeIut. - By Capt. Elmore PhIIpett END OF HITLER The old-fashioned Bible-reading folk know the story of Beishaz- zar's banquet - and how an in- visible hand wrote on the wall certain mysterious words. Those words required inherpretation. They could flot be read by those in the room. To-day the handwriting is on wall for the Nazi gangsters w-ho have plunget niankind imb the deepest bogs of human msery. Ih takes no soohh sayer ho explaun the handwritîng He w-ho runs may read. Hiler's doom is sealed. Forces are already un will end the Nazi tyranny. Instead ' of a horrible and hellish realuty t long, become but an awesorne me-i mory. The only questionable point us the exact time. Hitler knows that too. The Ger- man generals know it. And be- cause this is so we o! the United Nations approach the most dan- gerous brief period o! Ibis world struggle. Even the cornered rat will fight with frenzy ho delay death. The cornered German gang is still in control of the greatesh single war machine ever assembled. Il has already begun to crumble from blows from without. It groans and creaks from pressure wihhin. The cornered maniac, knowing in bis heart that only a super- miracle can 110w save anything o! his evil bandiwork from destruc- tion, wibl make bis most desperate moves ho gain this end. That is why we should begin ho consider now the probable nat- ure o! the bathies we shahl have ho fight for the remainder o! the war. PRICE OF VICTORY The masterly Britishb-Amnerican victory in Africa sets the stage for the last act in the Hitler traey Soon from ail corners o!fErop invading forces will be pouring in ho strike death blows at the mili- tary heart o! Germany. There is notbing mucb that we can or need say on that score-except this: The very magnitude of Nazi ag- gression noxv lays Germany open to mortal counter blows. The United Nations can turn the tables against Germany with unbelievable rapidity when the time comes when we can bit from ail sides ah once. That will be be- fore too many months. Wben it cornes our bosses will be heavy. But they will be heavy only as judged by the day-to-day basis. So far we mn the English- speaking world bave escaped with a fraction o! the bosses suffered in the last w-ar; or by our Chinese and Russian allies-and even by the enemy-in Ibis one. NEXT BATTLE So far Hitler bas kept one jump abead o! us in bis moves. He now knows that he cannot win the war -must soon lose it-if the fight continues on the pre$ent kind o!f battlefields. Therefore he will try to swîtch to new kinds o! bahtlefields. He will certainly attempt to use poison gas ho wipe out whole masses o! our people if that is bis last possible devise whereby he migbt cheat defeat. But our lead- ers have made preparations for that. It is more doubtful that our leaders are so well prepared for another possibility. That is, that Hitler's fiendish associates might say to the world, "Make peace with us-leave us our war, ma- chine undestroyed-or we will slaughter or torture the prisoners in our power-the civiliansw have under our control." If that sounds fantastic, let us think a bit about the background o! the recent sbackling o! prison- ers o! war. The whole episode dit not make sense-except as a pos- sible German small scale test o! possible moves ho come. That is why we should brace ourselves for what is coming. We should be prepared to ah- tack witb everything we have in the military arena-by land, sea and air. We should steel our- selves ho allow notbing ho divert us from the task o! destroying the German war machine. But we shouit guard against being drawn into a struggle on a new kint o! battle!ield - that chosen by Hitler as his last evil hope. Above aIl we shouit prepare ho take the offensive o! the politi- cal front-first ho detach Ihaly !rom the Axis and then ho detach as many as possible of the Ger- man people from the Nazi gang.
