28. CP Sir Floor E1EFLL IN FRONT OF EIFFELr Not bad to look at is this picture of Nazi prisoners, grimacing at the camera as they are herded aboard an army vehicle under guard of first Yanks to enter Paris. Eiffel Tower is in background. fer another disaster such as has been visited on them in the battle of Normandy. Actually it will be surprising if the Germans aren't already in the process of withdrawing.

Their i probable intention is to make their next big defence on the Somme river in the northern tip of France, and perhaps on the Aisne, which forms a more or less continuous front with the Somme. The val- leys of both these streams were the scene of bloody fighting in the first Great War. Whether the Germans will be able to stand on the Somme is a matter of some question. They are under increasing pressure from the great and exceedingly mobile Allied forces which are bent on trapping thel Nazis against the coast of the Eng- lish Channel. Moreover and this shouldn't be overlooked the Allied air forces are taking a terrific toll irom an concentrations ox enemy troops and from forces moving on the roads.

This aerial slaughter of men, destruction of equipment and conse quent disorganization in Nazi ranks i certainly will make it difficult for; them to reform for a strong stand on the Somme. However, they must make the effort in order to protect! their robot-bomb launching-grounds i in the Pas de Calais area, and the ports of Calais and Boulogne onlyi about 20 miles from the coast of! Great Britain. Questions Answered On Ration Controls The Women's Regional Advisory Committee, Consumer Branch, Wartime Prices and Trade Board, will answer questions put to this newspaper regarding price control and rationing regulations. I have been attending a foot specialist for the past year or more, but on August 1 he raised his fees $1.00 per treatment. Is he allowed to do this? A.

Extra coupons are not granted for this purpose. Q. Recently I was charged $6.00 for the cleaning of my furnace, whereas last year I was charged only $3.00 for the same service from the same company. Is this increase permissible? A Anyone performing such a. service must not charge more than he did during the basic period Sept.

of Dover, G.C.B.. K.C.V.O D.S.O., told The Citizen upon his arrival here Monday evening. Ke added that the United Nations had already started their preparations to step up the tempo of the Pacific war and thus be in the position to deliver the knock-out blow-to Japan. "The United States has done so well with its amphibious operations that the war in the Pacific may be brought to an end sooner than was hoped for," he declared. Lord Keyes said that he hoped to see something of the war in the Pacific during his trip.

In Canada ten years ago. Lord Keyes said that he did not get any farther west than Toronto at that time. "I am looking forward to seeing your West," he said. Directed Zeebrugge Attack. Lord Keyes, now 72 years of age, is one of Britain's noted authorities on combined operations and amphibious warfare.

He directed the attack on Zeebrugge in the last Great War and during the present war was largely responsible for the development of the British Commandos. In a statement at Montreal Lord Keyes said that the German U-boat menace had been brought to all but an end by the capture of the French ports and that only isolated attacks on shipping could be expected in the future. He believed that all German opposition would be cleaned up by early winter. The German navy, he declared, had been battered into an almost helpless hulk and he did not believe that any great sea battle could develop as a result. Grant Certification To Ottawa Unions TORONTO.

Want something? Then let Citizen Classified Ads help you qet it. By Drwltt MacKenzie A. P. War Analyst We are on the verRe of the beaten Hitler's Rreat retreat from western France to the defences of his own frontier where he plans to fight just as Ion1? as he can find men who are willing to risk their lives for him. Events have moved rapidly during the past few hours.

Any chance the Germans may have had of holding the strategic line of the Marne river has been nullified by General Patton's drive to the first Great W8r battlefield of Chateau-Thierry and his daring thrust 14 miles northward from Meaux on that river. This move by the two-gun com- mander not only has cut the river, but it has decidedly increased the German danger of being flanked. Meantime westward towards the sea the Canadian-British forces have established another bridgehead across the Seine near the coast, thus increasing the sure Allied grip on that river. Natural Barrier The Seine and the Marne form a natural defensive barrier across northern France, and it had been the obvious intention of the Germans to make a strong stand there, since this position protects their all-important Channel defences to the north and their gateway through Belgium to the Reich. Now they will have to pull out quickly or suf Prizes Awarded For.V-Gardens In Hull Section In a recent competition for Victory Gardens held by the tenants of Wartime Housing, Limited, in Hull.
