Though he acknowledsc.il that the report would be denied by all par ties concerned, the informant insist- Russian Attacks Grow Heavier in Eastern Prussia How many ow you will act as Santa Clous to boys on the h!gh seas, where there will be no cthor Christ mas available?

Germany already realizes she has lost the war, the, informant said, "but will not lay down arms at this time unless she can ascertain more about just what the "unconditional surrender" demanded by Russia, the United States and Britain would en tail. (Even if such a peace feeler has been intended by Germany, there appeared little prospect that it would be acted upon by the allied "Big Three." All three countries have emphasized they are in no mood to bargain over terms with Germany and will accept only plain "uncon ditional surrender.';') Failure to split apart the. three main allies, the re-election of Presi dent Roosevelt and the failure of her secret weapons to affect the war de cisively finally convinced Germany that .she cannot win, e the informant said.; , . However, he believed the German command was convinced it could prolong the war for six months or more with the consequent loss of further hundreds of thousands of men on both. sides unless the allies decided to make a reasonable offer to the Reich. Germany was said to figure that the cost of continuing the war was outweighed by the aditional casual ties and destruction wrhieh the allies would incur. Even after the army has been defeated, the Germans still would resist as Guerrillas, the in formant said. He reported the non-Nazi Germans responsible for the peace feller pic tured themselves playing the roles that Marshal Pietro Badoglio and his supporters did in the surrender of Italy. They already were citing the case of Italy as a precedent for their action. Field Director, reviewed the number of contributions received by the hos pital since the last , meeting, and presented the requests for the future. Of these, the most urgently need ed is for gifts for boys on ships, who cannot receive Christmas in any oth er way. Therefore, the Camp and Hospital Council of American Red Cross is appealing to the big-hearted citizens of Cass county to volunteer to help provide such gifts. Any group or individual who is interested in such participation in "Christmas on the High Seas' may write to Mrs. A. B. Stroemer, Alvo, Nebr., immediately, or phone your local Woman's club president. Speed is vital in this program. The details of this new request were presented by Mrs. Harold Steb bins, Nebraska representative. Camp Soviet shelled enemy gun position and troop con centrations in East Prussia today, possibly heralding resumption of the Russian offensive in the outlying German province. A communique ahso disclosed that southern Soviet forces were continu ing thc.ir westward drive against Budapest after severing the main raid supply line between enemy troops in northeastern Hungary and those defending the Nazi satellite capital. The. artillery bombardment in East Prussia was concentrated mostly on German gun positions, several of j which were destroyed, apparently in an effort to clear a path for the armored forces of Gen.
