Patriots Complete Whirlwind Drive To Oust Foe OCCUPIED SINCE 1941 British troops and Greek Patriots have driven the Germans completely from Greece In a whirlwind campaign that was little less speedy than the lightning Nad conquest of 1041, Allied headquarters announced yesterday. An RAF officer said it was believed the last ' German rearguards crossed over Into Yugoslavia Thursday night 38 days after British troops landed on the rocky western coast of the Pelo ponnesus September 28. It took the Germans 27 days to overrun the little country In the spring of 1941. It was an almost bloodless victory for Allied arms, for so anxious were the Germans to clear out and se well did the guerrillas do their work, that British ground forces were unable to bring the rearguards to battle until they overhauled the retreating columns In northern Greece. Before that sharp, short engagement at Kosane, 68 miles southwest of the port of Salonika, British and Patriots had swept across the Preloponnesus and on October 14 seised the capital oi Athens by a .combined assault from sea and air in which American trans port planes took part. An Anied announcement said ad ditional British troops -.had landed near Salonika, which previously was freed by Patriots and other Tommies moving : up to the northern Greek port toy land, and these forces reported also that no German troops remained on the mainland except a few strag glers.

Mar shal Titos headquarters announced. Both towns were declared under siege. Reconnaissance pilots who went out looking for Germans in Greece were unable to find any, they recorted, but In the last 24 hours small columns were spotted near Lake Pre spa, Just across the horded in Albania. : "It Is fairly certain that all Germans are now wit of areeece,",the RAF of ficer said. - ?We believe - rearguard went over the Greece-Serbian ; border Thursday night.- ' V ' ' r In the retreat up the Vardar valley toward Skoplje, the Germans left a trail of blown road and railway bridges to delay the pursuing British,- but It was not yet certain that the Tommies had crossed into the Balkan country. Field Marshal Sir Bernard L.

Southeast of Aachen, tank-supported U. 8. infantry fought toack 600 yards almost to the edge of Schmidt In a bitter battle to regain that bomb-levelled, village, and re-won two-thirds of the ground lost earlier to heavy Ger man counterattacks. The U. 8. Third army, lashing out on a long-dormant sector 100 miles be low Aachen, knocked the Germans from Berg, eight miles northeast of Thlonvllle, and near the juncture of the French, German, and Luxembourg borders. The grimmest battle was fought by the First army in see-saw actions in the deep-shadowed Hurtgen 'forest region. Doughboys driven out of Schmidt Saturday struck back with the rein forcing weight of tanks and mobile artillery. They repulsed new German counterblows, and made limited ad vances against strong resistance. , Air forces teamed with the ground troops, hurling bomb on already rubblebd Schmidt and then strafing the Germans holding the town. Pilots claimed destruction of 10 enemy arm ored behlcles, and esticated 12 to IS German tanks were damaged. Northwest of Schmidt, the Ameri cans Inched ahead against Germans stubbornly determined to prevent an advance to the Boer river, one of the last barriers before Cologne. Mine fields and artillery barrages slowed progress. Near Germeter, Infantrymen encircled one smal but strongly-entrenched German force. On a 40-mile front along soggy Dutch terrain, the Allies had reached ths Maas river at two crossings, and were closing in on the fleeing Germans elsewhere. The German sack below the river was collapsing rapidly, and a 21st Army group officer in the field, de clared "the Boche obviously has pulled out to the north." Polish vanguards of the Canadian First army struck to the river at Geertruldenberg, a main crossing point. Fifteen miles to the east, a swift British army advance behind flame-throwing tanks . had crushed the last strong German pocket, and drove to the Maas at Heusden, taking that river town. and the South Paciflo for the past five years, spent a 30-day leave with his parents and returned last week to nls base in San Francisco, Calif. .

A slam-bang political campaign has ended with the exception of the bal loting tomorrow. America's voting .le gions win pool: millions of individual decisions into a fourth term for Pres ldetn Roosevelt ora first for Dewey.. There will be a few stray oratorical outbursts tonight before the balloting starts tomorrow morning at 6:30, but the speeches by the rival presidential nominees Saturday nlglit. President Roosevelt in Boston- and' Dewey in New York, were the last big "bids for votes. Both the Democratic and Republican camps speak confidently of victory. They always do. Nobody's going to admit he's licked ahead of time. But professional poll-takers are gnawing their fingers because the battle of foaN lots seems so close to them. Political wiseacres today, however, were giving the President an edge over his Repub lican opponent Dewey, and in some cases, were forecasting as entirely pos sible, another Democratic landslide. A petticoat parade may decide it. For the first time in the history of our nation, there are more potential women voters than men. Or it may be that ballots from foxholes wul turn the tide and that the victor will not know for weeks. Eleven states will count their votes after November 7, among them pivotal I Pennsylvania. Weather and gasoline j rationing which could keep voters at home are hard-to-figure factors. Whatever the outcome, most of America's voting millions, upwards of 45,000,000 of them, already have made up their minds, whether they want to keep Roosevelt or substitute Dewey. In the first war-time election since 1864, it has been a choice primarily between the older, experienced Roosevelt, who has had a hand on the tiller for a dozen years and the younger, ener getic, New York Governor, who .ove and over again has chanted "it's time for a change." In Union county, election officials today, urged that early voting be practiced and that everv effort be made to avoid a last minute rush , to 1 the pons late in the afternoon. The Polls wUl open at 6:30 a. m. and remain open until 6:36 p. m., al lowing twelve hours for. casting bal lots. J. Emmett Griffin, executive secre tary of the Colon County Democratic Committee today, expressed the belief that more than 7000 Union county Democrats win go to the polls in to morrow's voting. In 1940 approxi mately 7100 Demorcats cast their bal lots and approximately 600 votes were cast for the Republican candidates. An appeal was Issued by Mr. Griffin today, urging the Democratic voters to make every effort to cast their bal lots in tomorrow's voting.

Then when opened, the pain will be bleniied perfectly; it U1 be ready for use without further nuiing. - Cotton prices declined slightly this week in moderately active spot mar kets, the War Food administration reported yesterday. For middling 15-16 inch, prices in the 10 spot markets averaged 2154 cents a pound on November 3, as against 21.42 a week ago and 19.84 a year earlier. The 10-market average for October was 21.59 cents against 21.40 in September and 20.33 In Oc tober 1943. Market prices generally were below government purchase prices and farm ers are putting considerable cotton into loan or holding for the later dis position, the WFA said. Sales in the 10 markets continued fairly large in volume, totaling 225,000 bales for the past week compared to 220,000 for the preceding week. Con gestion at warehouses and compresses was reported, tending to slow : up market activity. Mill Inquiries for cotton increased, mainly for prompt shipment. v. IL lDOaORSnGHT . ; EPIDEMICS IN EUROPE ' Medical authorities of the American army are waging a preventive cam paign against typhus, influenza, and other ' communicable diseases which may be expected to hit Europe this winter as a result of the war and the movement of civilians in the lib erated countries of the continent. Extensive delousing , programs and other preventive measures have been begun among 'American troops, ' but effective control also makes it neces sary that the army keep a strict check on possible outbreaks among civilians. Medical scouts are tracing ail rumors of typhus they encounter. , ' Mai.-Gen.; Paul R. Howley. thief surgeon in - the European theater of operations, says the general health and recuperative powers of the Amer ican soldiers in France are excellent. He pointed out that although battle wounds are-more terrible in this war than in the last, the death rate among the wounded is only hah of what it was In the last conflict. This, he said, to attributable to the good health of the Yanks, advances ia surgery,: and the use of new drugs, such as s;Cs and penlclUln, . The "G. I." bin of rights appears to be headed back to Congress for amendment even as the Veterans ad ministration sends forms for G. I. loans to the government printer. A confliot has developed on a critical point whether a veteran's disability compensation may be attached by the Federal government if he Is unable to keep up his payments on a home, farm or business for which he ob tained a G. I. loan. The Veterans administration dis closed yesterday that under its Inter pretation on the law, such attachment is possible. The A merican Legion, which sponsored the measure, said the Legion never had planned, approved or had any knowledge that such action would be permitted. Senator Bennett Champ Clark, Democrat of Missouri, who was active In the Senate debate, said yesterday such attachment was the Intent of Congress. Clark was reached at St. Louis. Rep. Bernard "Pat" Kearney, Republican of New York, at the House Veterans committee said Congress had no such plan and that he win Intro duce counteractive legislation imme diately after the election. He stated his position by telephone from Glov ersville, N. Y. Generally, the V-A Interpretation is that if a disabled veteran becomes unable to pay a G. I. loan for a home, farm or business, the government may foreclose on the property and in addi tion, divert the veteran's dlsabUlty payment to the debt until it has been paid. The Interpretation was disclosed In a form to be read to or by a veteran appUcant for a loan. DEMOCRATIC SWEEP SEEN BY BULW1NKLE Congressman Predicts Overwhelming Majorities In North Carolina.
