ITALY SURRENDERS I GEN. EISENHOWER GRANTS MILITARY ARMISTICE Peace Granted Day That British Invaded Allied Headquarters in North Africa, Sept. 9. ? Gen. D wight D. Eisenhower today announced the uncondi tional surrender of Italy in the greatest victory for Al- ? lied arms in four years of war. Italy ordered its armed forces to resist the Nazis if they should try to interfere with the surrender. General Eisenhower announced he had granted a mil itary armistice? approved by Russia as well as Britain and thev United States ? to the war-sick, tottering junior Axis partner being chewed by invasion. 'EUROPEAN FORTRESS' CRACKED - ..Hitler's "European fortress" was cracked, the way was opened for new offensives, the course of World War II immeasurably shortened. Surrender of Italian armed forces "unconditionally" was made by the Government of Marshal Pietro Badog lio, successor 'of Benito Mussolini, the architect of Fascism. \ Thus the Casablanca "unconditional surrender" ul timatum received its first application. SIGNED FRIDAY Eisenhower said that he had granted Italy a military armistice on Sept. 3 and that it was effective "this in stant" (12:30 P. M. E. W. T.) At that hour Eisenhower went to a microphone of the United Nations radio station here and read his statement to the world. Announcing the brilliant news, Eisenhower, who led the Allied triumph in Tunisia and Sicily as "well, declared: "Unconditional" ?-* -y "The Italian Government lias surrendered its armed forces un conditionally. "As Allied Commander in Chief, I have granted a military armistice, the terms of which have been approved by the Gov ernments of the United Kingdom, the United State and the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics. Thus I am Acting in the inter ests of the United Nations. "The Italian Government ha3 bound itself to abide by these terms without reservation. Armistice Signed "The armistice was signed by my representative and the repre sentative of Marshal Badogllo," Eisenhower said. "Hostilities between the armed forces of the United Nations and those of Italy terminate at once. All Italians who now act to help eject the German aggresors from Italian soil will have the assist ance and support of the United "Nations." ? The truce actually was reached last Friday at Allied advance headquarters In Sicily ? the very day that British and Canadian troops swept across Messina Strait to invade the Italian toe ? but it was agreed, a special an nouncement said, "that the arm istice should come Into force at a moment most favorable to the Allies, and be simultaneously an nounced by both sides. That moment has now arrivad. "The possibility of a German move to forestall publication of the armistice by the Italian Gov ernment was discussed during the negotiations. "To Ineet this eventuality, it was agreed that one of the sen ior Italian military representa tives should not return to Rome. He is now in Sicily." "Further, Marshal Bado?lio ar ranged to send the text of his proclamation to Allied headquar ters." Badoglio issued a proclamation saying the armistice had been re quested and granted, and called on all Italian armed forces to "cease all acts of hostility against Anglo-American forces wherever they may "be met." o > "BACK YOUR BUCK PRIVATE WITH YOUR PRIVATE BUCKS" The Third War Loan Cam paign began yesterday, Septem ber 9th.

THIRD WAR LOAN DRIVE With the opening of the Third I War Loan Drive Thursday, G. M. Beam, county chairman of the drive announced that franklin County Commissioners and couu-t ty employees had given the drive! its initial push by purchasing: $2,700 in War Bonds. Mr. Beam pointed out this week' that the aounty had a quota of $327,000, the largest ever, and that it would take a lot of indi-j vidua! effdrt to put the county ever the top. The War Loan Chairman and'j Committeemen will this week name township committeemen ? and set quotas for each town ship. Using the slogan, "Back the Attack;5' the individual town ship workers will list every per son in their area and see every person to give them the chance to invest in America's future. The Central Third War Loan Committee is composed of Mr. Beam, Rev. S. E. Mercer, Frank linton, J. L. Brown, Youngsville, I D. T. Dickie, Epsom, A. H. Vanu, jPranklinton, A. E. Henderson, M. iC. Murphy, W. F. Shelton. Wiley |F, Mitchell, Dr. A. Paul Bagby, [Edwin H. Malone, and Mrs. Ben T. Holden. Chairman Beam and Supt. Wi ley F. Mitchell are drawing plans (for the full participation of the icounty school system in the in dividual solicitation drive of the j Third War Loan. Other com-| imittee members will plan otheri jfeatures of the local campaign! j which will be later announced. Hospital Nearing Completion I Dr. Herbert G. Perry, prdprie-j ] tor of Louisburg's new hospital, i announces that his hospital is J now about completed. The car Jpeliters- -1i*Te-?ht?it finished the jnew addition and the painters ;are almost through. About thei only thing now needed is the' placing of the beds which have| been shipped and are expected to I arrive any day. At present five rooms have I been furnished and are now 'ready for use and it Is expected; that the remaining twenty beds will be in place before the end of another week. Already many are seeking ac commodations -here rather than i go to hospitals at a distance. Dr. Perry says he has decided I to name the new hospital The jLouisburg Hospital, and that he | Is delighted with the splendid re ception this new institution is be ing accorded. Also that he will see that no effort or expense will be spared to make the Louisburg Hospital, though small in the 'beginning, one of the best in the State. o ? DISCONTINUANCE OK SILK AND HOSIKKY CAMPAIGN G. M. Beam, chairman of the Salvage Committee, announces that after September 30th, the gathering of silk and nylon hos iery will be discontinued. All , persons having old slll^ and nylon stockings should immediately take them to local stores in or der that these stores can make [their shipment by the 30th. i The director ot salvage says: "The appeal has brought one of the greatest publiv responses thus far given to any Government sponsored campaign of volunteer contributions to aid war produc tion. A total of over 46,000,000 pairs of stockings, weighing more than 2,300,000 pounds, has al ready been collected, and Septem ber collections are expected to swell the amount substantially." All silk and nylon hosiery col lected has been used in the man ufacture of power bags, para chutes and other war equipment; The only reason for calling off this campaign is that the propor tion of silk and nylon to the total poundage collected is on a declin ing scale, due largely to the fact that little or no hosiery of silk or nylon has been manufactured for the past several months.
