Show PAGE 2 rSVVLTS!'9 DAILY HERALD With Ernie Pyle in France Battle Fields Tell Story Of Ravages of Modern War By ERNIE TYLE ON THE WESTERN FRONT (By Wireless When you're wandering wan-dering around our very far-flung I front lines the linea that in our -present rapid war are known aa "fluid" you can always tell how recently the battle has swept on .-ahead of you. Tou can sense it from the little things even more than the big things - From the scattered green leaves and the fresh branches of trees still lying in the middle of the road. From the wisps and coils of telephone tel-ephone wire, hanging brok'enly from high poles end entwining across the roads. From the gray, burned-powder rims of the she'll craters in the gravel roads, their edges not yet smoothed by the pounding of mili tary traffic. From the little pools of blood on the roadside, blood that has only begun to congeal and turn black, and the punctured steel helmets lying nearby. From the square blocks of Maw Straightens Out Tangle In Liquor Profits SALT LAKE CITY. Aug. 21 V.Ej New wartime business condi tions unforeseen by the last leg islature and not any shortcoming on the part of the Utah liquor commission are responsible for the tangle in the commission s financial affairs. Gov. Herbert B. Maw stated Saturday. He also pledged that the commission com-mission would turn over, in cash, the $1,216,000 required under the statutes. "The commission has done a remarkable re-markable job In maintaining its operations under handicaps, and the criticism directed toward it have been unfair and unjust," Gov. Maw said. Maw conferred early today with State Treasurer Oliver G. Ellis, whose refusal to transfer anything any-thing less than the whole of the commissions reported profits for the first six months of the year started the furor, and with attorney-General Grover A. Giles, who has advocated a "practical solution", which would accept the $216,000 offered by the commission commis-sion and leave the million in working work-ing capital. Maw's statement explained that when the present statute waa drawn, liquor companies paid storage stor-age on stocks until they were removed re-moved from the warehouses, but that today they demand cash in advance. He added that federal taxes today operate oh a similar basis. The commission. Maw said, must keep an inventory of 60,000 cases on hand. The tax on these is some $1,600,000, which mut be included in-cluded in the commission's working work-ing capital. Besides, he added, the commission had to keep large bank deposits on hand in various parts of the country to ensure maintenance of its stocks. "When the next legislature meets, without question the statute sta-tute will be amended to give the commission sufficient revenues," the governor said. "If those who criticized had taken the trouble to learned the facts, their comments would be those of praise for a good job done." SALT LAKE CITY. Aug. 21 C.Pi Utah state liquor stores opened today with heavy supplies of additional stock on hand to meet an expected rush of buyers, taking advantage of the extra-bottle extra-bottle ration bonus offered by the liquor commission. All permit holders were entitled to an extra pint, fifth, or quart before the end of the month. The bonus was granted partly because of an easier liquor supply situation, situ-ation, it was reported, and partly because the commission must turn over to the general fund its $1.-216,000 $1.-216,000 profits for the first half-year half-year by Aug. 31. Conference (Continued from Page One) tenance of peace and security," Hull said. Cadogan, who is the British permanent undersecretary of state for foreign affairs, recalled that even Adolf Hitler had learned "that it is not by riding roughshod over the smaller powers that the vital interests of the larger can in the long run best be protected." Both men emphasized that the new world organization must give to each nation "responsibilities commensurate with its powers." Asserting that there already is "a large measure of agreement" among the big three, Cadogan, called upon the delegates not to forget the time factor now that the war is nearing is end. ' There seems, in fact, to be a general will on the part of what are at present the three most powerful states in the world to achieve some kind of world organization, or-ganization, and what is more, to achieve it soon," he said replying to Hull's welcome address. "Events are moving fast and peace must come sooner than some expect. It would be folly to delay construction of at least some framework of future international inter-national cooperation until the problems pro-blems of peace confront us with all their insinstency." The opening ceremonial session the only one to which the press will be admitted was held in the high-ceiLnged music room of the 143-year-old Georgian mansion on a secluded Washington estate, Dumbarton Oaks. building stone still scattered In the village streets, and from the sharp-edged rocks in the roads, still uncrushed by traffic. From the burned-out tanks and broken carts still unremoved. from the road from the cows In the fields, lying grotesquely with their feet to the sky, so newly dead they have not begun to bloat or smell From the scattered heaps of personal debris around a gun. I don't know why it is, but the Germans Ger-mans always seem to take off their coats before they flee or die. From all these things you can tell that the battle has been recent from these and from the men dead so recently that they seem to be merely asleep. And also from the inhuman quiet. Usually battles are noisy for miles around. But in this recent re-cent fast warfare a battle sometimes some-times leaves a complete vacuum behind it. The Germans will stand and fight it out until they see there is no hope. Then some give up, and the rest pull and run for miles. Shooting stops. Our fighters move on after the enemy, and those who do not fight, but move in the wake of the battles, will not catch up for hours. There is nothing left behind but the remains The lifeless debris, the sunshine and the flowers, and utter silence. An amateur who wanders in this vacuum at the rear of a battle bat-tle has a terrible sense of loneli ness. Everything is dead the men. the machines, the animals and you alone are left alive. O One afternoon we drove in our jeep into a country like that. The rural villages of gray stone were demolished heartbreaking heapr of still smoking rubble. We drove into the tiny town of La Detinais, a sweet old stone village at the "T" of two gravel roads, a rural village in rolling country, a village of not more than 50 buildings. There was not a whole building left. Rubble and broken wires still littered the streets. Blackish gray- stone walls with no roof still smoldered inside. Dead men still lay in the streets, helmets and broken rifles askew around them. There was not a soul nor a sound in town: the village was lifeless. We stopped and pondered our way, and with trepidation we drove on out of town. We drove for a quarter of a mile or so. The ditches were full of dead men. We drove around one without a head or arms or legs. We stared, and couldn't say anything about it to each other we asked the driver to go very slowly, for there was an uncertainty in all the silence. There was no live human, no sign of movement anywhere. Seeing no one, hearing nothing, I became fearful of going on into the unknown. So we stopped. Just a few feet ahead of us was a brick-red American tank, still smoking, and with its turret knocked off. Near it was a German Ger-man horse-drawn ammunition cart, upside down. In the road beside be-side them was a shell crater. To our left lay two smashed air planes in adjoining fields. Neither of them was more than 30 yards from the road. The hedge waa low and we could see over. They were both British fighter planes One lay right side up, the other lay on its back. We were just ready to turn around and go back, when I spied a lone soldier at the far side of the field. He was standing there looking look-ing across the field at us like an Indian in a picture. I waved and he waved back. We walked toward each other. He turned out to be a second lieutenant Ed. Session, of (8137 Mulholland Terrace) Los Angeles. He is a graves registration officer for his armored division, and he was out scouring the fields locating locat-ing the bodies of dead Americans. He was glad to see somebody, for it is a lonely job catering to the dead. As we stood there talking in the lonely field a soldier in coveralls, cov-eralls, with a rifle slung over his shoulder, ran up breathlessly, and almost shouted: "Hey, there's a man alive in one of those planes across the road! He's been trapped there for days:' We. stopped right in the middle of a sentence and began to rua. We hopped the hedgerow, and ducked under the wing of the upside-down plane. And there, in the next hour, came the climax to what certainly was one of the really great demonstrations ofj courage in this war. i Italy Sized Up ,--, . V$pa! J r li OA ITALY'S X J.

Allied Victory (Continued from Page One) ports admitted that Lt Gen. George S. Patton's troops also forced a crossing 12' miles to the north at Vernon. A steady stream of men and armor waa reported pouring into the bridgeheads and Berlin said Patton's forces were fanning out along the south bank of the Seme on a front of more than 30 miles, reaching northward to Gaillon and south to within 18 miles of Paris. Patrols In Paris Other American columns pounded pound-ed at the western and southern gates of Paris and, according to Nazi reports, sent armored patrols pa-trols stabbing into the city itself. where German troops were fighting fight-ing thousands of heavily-armored patriots. The new American break through north of Paris came as British forces lashed out from the Caen area in a great wheeling movement that rolled back the German lines to within two miles of the highway center of Lisieux and carried to within about 19 miles of the Seine estuary. With the Americans already fanning out along the north bank of the Seine and the British threat ening to break across in a matter of days at the most, the plight of the Nazi 7th army appeared hopeless. hope-less. At the same time, the two Allied spearheads menaced the entire ro bot bomb coast from Dieppe to Calais, now defended only by the skeletonized German 15th army. most of whose tanks and artillery had been drained off to bolster the 7th army in Normandy. The uprising in Paris keynoted mounting patriot resistance throughout France, featured by these developments: 1. Gen. Charles De Gaulle, president pres-ident of the French committee of national liberation, arrived in Normandy and is expected to lead the reconstituted French army in its triumphal entry into Paris. 2. A French forces of the inter ior communique said patriot troops have liberated eight departments (provinces) and 20 towns in the past week and are active in almost al-most one third of France. 3. Radio Algiers said French Maquis have captured Vichy and are holding French Chief of State Marshal Henri Philippe Fetain there until his fate can be decided by the French national committee. 4. Other French collaborators, including chief of government Pi erre LaVal, number one on the na tional committee's list of traitors marked for execution, were reported re-ported to have fled Vichy.

German Army Today Perilously Close To Rout In Decisive Battle of France Editor's Note: The following dispatch to from a veteran of war on three continents who recently has moved to the battle-front from Allied supreme headquarters to cover the final phases of the liberation lib-eration of Europe. BY EDWARD W, BEATTIE United Press War Correspondent WITH THE BRITISH IN PUR SUIT OF THE GERMAN ARMYl Aug. 21 UD The German army today is perilously close to rout as the swirling battle of western' France heads toward two great climaxes which may7 make it the battle for France or the battle for Europe. These are the climaxes which may be reached in this week's fighting: 1. The fall of Paris a great climax of the spirit to set free the city which for generations has been the fountain head of liberty in continental Europe, and a great military triumph to cut off the hub of the entire French railway system. 2. The final destruction of the German 7th army, together with its. associated panzer groups and artillery and infantry drained from the 15th army defending Pas De Calais and the low countries. The second is of far greater military importance than the capture cap-ture of Paris because it undoubtedly undoubt-edly means the end of further serious fighting in France. Destruction definitely is "in the cards'' for the reeling Germans, Ger-mans, as the British mop up bewildered be-wildered fragments of German units in the Argentan-Falaisc pocket and move on a broad, straight front toward the Seine to squeeze the fleeing remainders of the seventh army against the on-ruahing on-ruahing Americans. The retreating Germans hardly are an organized army any longer. Some divisions are down from 10,- 000 to 15,000 men to 1,000 or fewer. They are short of transport, trans-port, short on guns, short of any hope of assistance. If, as seems likely, they can be brought to a show-down battle this side of the Seine it is doubtful, doubt-ful, in the opinion of Allied military mili-tary authorities, whether they will ever again be able to stand up and fight within France. The Germans still have their SS "name" divisions and other units capable of the most desperate desper-ate sort of resistance. Inside the pocket where British tommies are rounding up the weary, hopeless German odds and ends amid the wreckage of their army, some of these Nazis still fight. But the German army as a whole still does not have the strength to cope with the Allied drive and there is no prospect of sudden, miraculous aid coming to give it strength. The German army now reeling toward the Seine has no solid force to retreat upon because the 15th army is too immobile and too badly bad-ly stripped in Field Marshal Guenther Von Kluge's effort to contain the bridgehead to be a ormidable fighting organization. Allied commanders nre buoyed by the realization that this week's moves may condemn the Germans to the same dreary succession of forced retreats which preceded the last war and the battle of Normandy Nor-mandy which began Its crescendo with the American break-through at Ava ranches may prove to have been won so thoroughly that it was in fact the battle of western Europe. Native hunters of New Guinea make arrowheads from the bony toenails of the cassowary. Sunday School Boy Slashed By Razor In Girl Quarrel SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 21 (UP) A 15 year-old boy was today held for Juvenile court, charged with the Sunday-school razor-slashing razor-slashing of A.

American submarines whittling down the Japanese supply fleet at an ever-increasing tempo, have sunk 19 more enemy vessels, including in-cluding two combatant ships, the navy disclosed today. This latest bag brings to 706 the number of Japanese vessels sunk by American undersea craft. In addition, another 37 have probably prob-ably been sunk and at least 115 damaged for an overall total of 84D8 Japanese craft hit by American Am-erican submersibles. The navy stopped announcing additions to the probably sunk( and damaged categories several months ago, however, so that the Aussie Voters Reject Proposal SYDNEY, Aug. 21 ( Early returns indicated tonight that the referendum to authorize Increased constitutional powers to the commonwealth com-monwealth government during the postwar period has been rejected by a majority of Australia's approximately ap-proximately 3,000,000 voters.
