The operator of a toad house in Georgia has been sentenced to serve more than ten years in pri son, after conviction of peonage. The man, it seems, secured two women fronvprison to serve as waitressesvln his roadhouse and forbade them to leave, forcing them to date men customers. This is dirty business and we can well understand the ire of the Federal Judge who heard the case and pronounced it the "most sor did" he had ever heard. Incidently, it is matter of regret that Federal courts have to try cases of peonage. What is the matter with the advocates of state's rights? There are other circumstances that amount to pe onage but it is usually the Federal courts which go after the offen ders. The accusation is often made thai white men, in Southern States, coerce Negroes to labor for them against their will. This is peonage and should be prose cuted.

SEND NO CASH Here's a new racket, designed to take advantage of the next of kin of relatives who may be pris oners of war: A letter advises that a message has been recorded, via enemy ra dio, about the relative, which can be secured for cash. The OWI calls attention to this 'sucker enterprise but finds the problem somewhat difficult be cause there are well-meaning per- sons in the country who, out of a desire to be comforting, relay news of prisoners of war to their relatives. The best advice we can give our j readers is that they send no mon I ey for any alleged information, j whatever.

MM Carolina i THE RECORD OF 1943 REVEALS OUR ENEMIES RECOILING FROM AIR, LAND AND SEA DEFEATS BY HUGO 8. SIMS There is one way to understand the progress made in two wars that the nation is fighting and which will enter decisive stages during 1944. Turn the pages of time back' a year and consider the war news that was being read by the people of the United Nations as 1942 was fading and 1943 beginning. Com pare the situation with the battle fronts today and there is only one sensible conclusion, regardless ol prophecies and postmortems. A year ago, the Germans were In Staling ad, with a month to elapse befor0 Oen. Palus was to surrender; Soviet offensives were underway along the Middle Don aimed at Rostv and Red army soldiers were taking the offensive. It is a long way from Stalingrad Rostov and the Caucasus to the southern liattlelines in Russia today In the Mediterranean? It e quircs no magician to understand that the scene has changed there. Today an Anglo-American army holds a ninety-mile line across the Italian peninsula, slowly driving toward Rome, some eighty miles away. The islands of Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica have been reclaimed.

The Gilbert islands have been seized and American planes are daily attack ing Japanese bases in the Mar shall islands, which are likely to be attacked at an early date. Rabaul has been under heavy aerial attack and is said to be un tenable as an important Jap base. The Japs have lost huge num bers of planes and ships. There are other important dif ferences between the ending of 1942 and 43, some of which are, the overcoming of the German U boat situation, while the shipping resources of our enemies are se verely strained from the activity of our submarines. No accurate picture of the war situation can be obtained without noting the greatly increased bom bing of German industry, ports and facilities. Everywhere throughout the year our enemies, have lost ground. The promise for 1944 is that the pressure will increase against both, Japan and Germany. tract of land deeded by J. W.
