iWU AMERICANS DOWN 87 NAZI PLANES LONDON, April 7—Ul—Amerl can airmen shot down at least 8, German planes today in the great est aerial battle over Europe n ' three months a* the Nazis tnec frantically to stop 1,300 Amencar heavy bombers plowing an mva cion path for Marshal Montgom ery's drive on the North sea ports The Germans downed includes a large number ^ of Jet-propellec Messerschmitt 262s. Following the big American day light raids, the German radio re ported Allied bombers were over head during the night, indicating that the RAF was out again aftei a two-night layoff due to bac weather. In the day’s air battles, Americar fighter pilots got 63 enemy plane! while bomber gunners accountec for at least 24. American losses were 22 bomb ers and three fighters, heavies suffered by the Eighth Air Foret since the Rhine crossing of Marct 24. The RAF in a side operation ii daylight raided Ijmuiden on th< German-held coast of North Hoi land, where there is a submarint works and power station, and alst a suspected site of Nazi rocke guns. The big fleet of Liberators anc Fortresses, escorted by 850 fight ers, raced more than 10O‘ mile: ahead of onrushing British an< American armies and blasted fou: jet airfields, two railyards, twi ammunition and storage plants, ai oil depot and an ordnance depot Most of them were in the vicinity of Bremen, Kiel and Hamburg three of Germany’s greatest port: imperiled by Montgomery’s drive --V CINCINNATI GROUP SELECTS OFFICERS (Continued from Page One) ernment and urged a return to the Jeffersonian principles on which “our government is principly bas ed.” “An incessant attention to pre serve inviolate those exalted rights and liberties, without which the high rank of a rational being Is a curse instead of a blessing, Is the trust of every member of the Cincinnati,” he declared. “Five generations of our peo ple have lived under our Consti tution with results that have as tonished the world. Our scientist have been the equal, if not the superior, of those of any other na tion in discovering the resources of the earth, air and water. Our manufacturers have produced goods beyond the belief of man, and have brought forth labor and health saving machines for the benefit of all. Our poets and phi losophers and songwriters have touched the inner springs of our natures and spurred us on to greater achievements, while our religious leaders have led us on to a firmer grip on the source of the ease, comfort and happiness all power. In our homes we have which comes from freedom and knowledge of unconquerable strength.” Many lands have greater natur al resources than the United States, he said, and “we forget that we come very recently from the old countries of Europe. The fact is that our growth is due to the prin ciples on which our forefathers founded this nation,” he averred. Col. Metcalf characterized vari ous pressure groups as “vicious” bodies, well organized in concerted attacks on Americanism. “The pride of our nation and cur firesides is in uniform, fighting again for freedom. Let us, here at home, raise the standard of our fathers so high that when our boys return to our shores, they will have a rallying point from which to protect the liberty for which they fought so valiantly,” he con cluded. The Cincinnati society was form ed immediately after the Revolu tionary War by officers of the Ar my of the Republic to promote human betterment. There are thirteen different as sociations, in the thirteen original states forming one general society, of which Colonel Metcalf la tha president general. He wore the original eagle and ribbon present ed to Washington, the first Presi dent General of the society by th< Marauis de Lafavette. Members are eligible if eldesl sons of descendants of ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War. They belong to chapters ir the states from which three ances tors hailed. Out of state members attend ing the meeting were Williarr Mobley Beall, president of the Ma ryland society, and Lawrenct Pinckney, president of the Soutt Carolina society. --V— KILLED IN ACTION WHITEVILLE, April 7. — Pvt. Joseph Powell, son of Mr. anc Mrs. J. J. Powell of the Cedar Grove section of Columbus coun ty, was killed in action on Marc! 20 in Germany, according to word received from the War Departmen by his parents.

Outflank Hannover, Roar Toward Berlin (Continued from Page One) to stem the big push on Berlin and a U. S. First Army staff officer i declared confidently: “The German army no longer is capable of maintaining a cohesive front. We are entering the final , mop-up stage.” From the salient thrust up near the North Sea southeastward for 300 milest othe Siegfried Line in the edge of the Black Forest, this was the front by front situation in what the Germans themselves call ed “the battle of decision”: The Canadian First Army fan ned out 35 mile ssouth of the North Sea, cutting road on the Dixed lowlands of Holland which two hemmed-in German armies must have for attack or retreat. Allied planes clamped an aerial seal-off on the 19-mile lane of re: treat running up around the Zuid er Zee from Amsterdam and Rot and pounding everything that moved. The British Second Army in gains up to 35 miles was quickly sealing the fate of Bremen, seat of Ger : many’s once vast sea traffic, and , was threatening to cut off the Dan ish peninsula and every enemy naval base on the North Sea. Early reports had placed the ' British within 12 miles of Bremen, but this later was corrected of ficially to 20 miles. This drive ' put the British 60 miles southwest ' of Hamburg. Farther south, tough British parachute troops drove 12 miles 1 beyond the Weser river to a point 1 20 miles west of Hannover, the city which gave them England’s present royal dynasty. The U. S. Ninth Army, besides i outflanking Hannover in a drive . 140 miles west of Berlin, err shed 13 miles through the roof of the Ruhr pocket, knocking out Soest —a city 16 miles southeast of fallen Hamm which the 125,000 trapped Germans had converted into a keystone for their stand and-die defense. The U. S. First Army, while 1 knocking in the sides of the Ruhr 1 pocket from east and south, turned on its main power once more to ward Berlin and crossed the ' Weser 160 miles west of the Reich’s 1 capital. It was swinging up to or across Ihe Weser on a 35-mile front. The U. S. Third Army rammed a second armored spearhead 130 miles southwest of Berlin and from its menacing positions 165 miles east of the Rhine was building up power swiftly for renewed blows. Its forces were in the best posi tion to link up with the Russians —170 miles to the east—and to cut Germany in half by driving the last 58 miles to the border of Czechoslovakia. The U. S Seventh Army was driving toward the Nazi Shrine city of Nernberg from positions 34 miles to the northwest amid indi --- cation* that the once-strong re sistance was sa~einff on this front. The French First Army was clawing along the Siegfried Line south of Karlsruhe, driving the en. emy from bunker to bunker. The German armies were being sapped so swiftly—40,094 more prisoners being counted Friday that it seemed highly unlikely they would even be able to stand on the broad Elbe River, 50 miles west of Berlin. , The pace of the advance hau stretched communications so bad ly that supreme headquarters told correspondents that there was a considerable time lag between their reports and the actual advance. DO WE HAVE TO DIE! Thirty years ago, in Forbidden Tibet, behind the highest moun tains in the world, a young Eng lishman named Edwin J. Dingle was desperately ill in mind and body. A great mystic opened his eyes. A great change came over him. He realized the strange Power thai Knowledge gives. The Power, he says, can trans form the life of anyone. Questions, whatever they are, can be answer ed. The problems of health, death, poverty and wrong, can be solved. In his own case, he was brought back to splendid health. He ac quired wealth, too, as well as world-wide professional recogni tion. Thirty years ago, he was sick as a man could be and live. Once his coffin was bought. Years of almost continuous tropical fevers, broken bones, near blind ness, privation and danger had made a human wreck of him, phy sically and mentally. He was about to be sent back to England to die, when a strange message came—“They are waiting for you in Tibet.” He wants to tell the whole world what he learned there, under the guidance of the greatest mystic he ever encounter ed during his twenty-one years in the Far East. He wants everyone to experience the greater health and the Power, which there came to him. Within ten years, he was able to retire to this country with a for tune. He had been honored by fellowships in the World's leading geographical socialties, for his work as a geographer. And today 30 years later, he is still so athletic, capable of so much work, so young in appearance, it is hard to be lieve he has lived so long. As a first step in their progress toward the Power that Knowledge gives, Mr. Dingle wants to send to readers of this paper a 900-word treatise, lie says the time has come for it to be released to the Western World, an doffers to send it, free of cost or obligation, to sincere readers of this notice.
