prisoners.\u201d £- STRATEGIC POST IN SUDAN REGION TAKEN DARLAN OPENS NEW SERIES OF TALKS WITH LAVAL Cairo, Egypt.Feb.17.\u2014 (Æ3) \u2014 Italian East African troops were reported today driven from their last foothold in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan at the Ethiopian frontier town of Kurmuk and pushed out of Southern Italian Somaliland beyond the Giuba River.British communiques said forces of the Middle East Command and South African troops won these gains over the week-end and were following up the retreat of their foe into Ethiopia and beyond captured Chisi-maio toward the big port of Mogadiscio from Southern Somaliland where the British claimed to have overrun an area of 10,000 square miles.The Italians driven from the Sudan outpost of Kurmuk, three hundred miles West of Addis Ababa, w7ere described as a relatively small force.They had been there since early Italian gains last summer.Some observers said the British advance might signal the start of another spearhead into Ethiopia to support a drive already underway two hundred miles farther North from Gallabat toward Gondar.Communiques issued yesterday here and at Nairobi, in Kenya Colony, credited the Royal Air Force and the South African Air Force with paving the way for the Sudan and Somaliland advances.The Cairo communique said Royal Air Force bombers attacked Italian iroop concentrations and motor transports in Eritrea, where the British Command was gathering force for an assault on the town of Cheren, forty-two miles from the colonial capital at Asmara.In Ethiopia, motor transport concentrations were bombed.South African fliers harassed Fascist forces withdrawing beyond the Giuba river and machine-gunned motor transport columns on the road from Chisimaio to Mogadiscio.\u201cIt was the severe plastering from the air,\u201d one communique said yesterday, \u201cthat induced the Italians to vacate Afmadu\u201d which the British advancing into Southern Italian Somaliland took last week.The same squadron was credited with smashing a pontoon bridge over the Giuba river and bombing Chisimaio.just before that port was captured, and another squadron bombed and machine-gunned trench systems, barbed wire positions and fortifications at Bardera.Also in preparation for the taking Continued on Page 2, Col.6 Vichy, France, Feb.17.\u2014ÇP) Admiral Jean Darlan, Vice Premier.was expected today to go to Paris soon to re-open discussions with Pierre Laval, his predecessor as No.2 Man of the Vichy Government.It was reported in political circles last night that Darlan, who had acted previously as representative of Marshal Philippe Petain in conferences with Laval, might offer Laval the Vice-Presidency of the Council of Ministers if he would return to the Government.SPINACH ICE CREAM Los

L.Hopkins spent in embattled Britain talking to her leaders gave President Roosevelt up-to-the-minute, first hand information today on the status of Britain\u2019s struggle with Germany.Hopkins got back to the White House last night.Asked whether his special assignment in London was \u201conly a mission of observation,\u2019 Hopkins answered crypticaly: \u201cIt was moçe than that.\u201d He said, however: \u201cI don't think Hitler can lick these (English) people.They\u2019re as tough a crowd as there is.With our help, \u2019 hoy\u2019ll win.\u201d \u201cThis will not he a stalemated war.My opinions are based on observations I made during four weeks in England and Scotland.I saw their military and naval strength.I watched their preparation for the air raids from the hotel and homes I visited.They\u2019re tough, these English.\u201d \u201cWe won\u2019t have to give them soldiers\u2014what they need is material.They have wonderful leadership.Churchill is a great man.The spirit of the men in the street and the Continued on Page 2, Col.7 Yugoslav Future Secure As Result Of Last Conference (Canadian Press Staff Writer) British authorities have announced an active-service test of what may prove to he an extremely important weapon, an undescribed device which apparently enables the pilot of a fighter aircraft to follow his adversary in the dark.Notice that the weapon had been tested appeared during the weekend with a report that a fighter pilot had dangled on the tail of a German raider for ten minutes and then shot him down with only a single burst of machine-gun fire.If the new weapon is as successful as the test indicates it may do much to rid Britain of the annoyance of German air raids at night.Britisii fighter and ground defences already have made daylight raiding thoroughly unsavory for a German air force standpoint, but the difficulty at night has been in finding the raiding aircraft in the dark.Britain is well equipped with sound detectors and searchlights, but in sticky weather the searchlights are not much good because they cannot be made to penetrate above the ceiling.This new device, apparently, Is a part of the fighter aircraft and can be carried into or above overhead soup.There are increasing signs, too, that Britain\u2019s air strength Is growing.Whenever the weather is penetrable the Royal Air Force pounds cross-Channel \u201cinvasion ports\u201d and industrial Germany and the scope of the raids appears to be growing.There has been much talk ami still is jibout Germany's \u201cair superiority\u201d but such gossip has not been borne out entirely by the facts.German\u2019s air losses have been infinitely heavier than Britain\u2019s, both in machines and men.This has been due in the past partly to the fact that the German air force was extremely aggressive and in part to the fact that British aircraft and crew, not so numerous, were a great deal better.The consequent losses to Germany were huge.They were pos-isibly not very important from a mechanical standpoint, but they [must have caused a large drain on trained personnel, and it is personnel that makes at.air force.The Royal Air Force, increasingly active of late, banged Channel I ports and the industrial district of the Ruhr during the week-end, piling bombs into districts it has blasted week after week.The Air Ministry announced that five planes were missing after the week-end raids, ait unusual total which may indicate either a greater scope on the part of the raiders or the development of a new German anti-aircraft weapon.It is more likely to have resulted from increased scope of operations, because returning pilots almost certainly would have been able to describe any new weapon directed at them.NEW CAMPAIGN .AT LOOSE TALKING Great Britain Alarmed at Continued Leaks in Information Concerning Movements.Steamship Wide-Spread German Campaign To Disrupt U.S.Effort Is Reported By ROBERT E.BUNNELLE.(Associated Press Staff Writer) London, Feb.17.\u2014(/P)\u2014Alarmed over ship losses described as apparently due to information leaks, Britain is launching a new campaign to ferret out spies and still tongues which drop tips to Axis agents.\u201cIt is hard 1 o pin things like this down,\u201d one source commented, \u201cand it is inadvisable to cite specific cases, but too many times the bombing and submarining of merchant ships, worships or convoys have occurred under circumstances that looked as if somebody had found out something about ship movements that they shouldn't have known.\u201d He declined to estimate the proportion of the average of (12,000 tons weekly in merchant shipping losses believed due to tips by Axis agents, asserting: \u201cWhen a newly-arrived ship is bombed in harbor or when merchant ships with a weak convoy or none at all are caught out it may be due to aerial reconnaissance, to an agent\u2019s tip or to luck, or all three.We want to eliminate agents\u2019 tips.\u201d One favorite hunting ground for Large Minefield Laid As British Act To Prevent Jap Coup At Singapore Despite Noted Easing of Tension in Far East,

According to the version of the : young Mexicans, the party\u2019s history 'is this: Four years ago a Mexican party of Nazi leanings was organized as a unit of a continental association.There are other units in the United ! States, and other countries of the j continent.1 Its chief purpose was to immobilize, or weaken, the United States by 1 stirring up hatreef'for the Washington Government; creation of political, diplomatic and economic problems in the Latin countries, and to provoke discord, strikes and other labor troubles in key industries in the United States.Such activities would include .street demonstrations\u2014such a.s that which greeted Vice-President Henry Wallace when he arrived in Mexico recently on a good will mission\u2014 riots, strikes, political troubles extending even to revolts, and serious attacks on United States diplomatic missions and on their personnel.The party, the informants said, is composed of men only, and for each member there is a rifle, military training, and education in espionage and sabotage activity.They said the party, in co-operation with Russians, Communists, Spanish Falangists and radicals generally, might attempt simultaneous attacks on United States diplomats in several Latin countries to create: \u201cdiplomatic incidents\u201d and to attempt to wreck the good neighbor policy.These attacks would be on the theory that if the United States failed to take stern action it could be called cowardly.If it did take action the cry would be raised throughout Latin America that it was \u201cpicking on\u201d little Latin-American na-I tions.I United States headquarters for the ! party was said to be in Philadelphia, but the informants refused to give j the address.From there, they said, | j money and \u201cbales of propaganda\u201d were rent into Latin-Amcrican countries.The informants said they had ! been told there were 150,000 mem-! bers in Mexico City alone, but they I themselves said this figure was ridi-: culous.¦ Wallace on his trip to Mexico recently said there was \u201ca whale of a lot\u201d of Nazi activity here.Informed quarters said many Nazi agents had arrived in Mexico in recent months.Ships

household articles were saved from the first floor.First to notice the blaze was Adélard Dube, manager of the hotel, who was awakened by the sound of the crackling of tihe fire.Upon reaching the second storey of the establishment to arouse the occupants he was met by a wall of flames which forced him to return to the main lobby and sound a general alarm.Shortly after the alarm, all the guests and personnel were safe and an auxiliary bucket brigade was formed by residents of the village.However, the fire had made such headway that it was impossible to get it under control.The firefighters therefore concerned themselves with localizing the flames until the arrival of the Sutton brigade.With a high wind fanning the blaze, it was feared at times the flames would reach the residence of Mrs.Emma Tibbits, situated in the rear of the hotel.At one time the blaze leaped across the street to the local Post Office and general store, searing the wooden structure and cracking many panes of glass.Four hours after the fire had broken out, all that remained of the three-storey wooden building was a heap of smouldering ruins.The roof had collapsed, the walls crumbled and the barn in the rear of the hotel had also caught fire and been destroyed.A transformer attached to a post I in front of the hotel was put out of commission and the town was without electrical current last night.This morning, however, the power was restored.William Blake, with the aid of a compressed air pump, saved one of the sheds at the back of the hotel.One of the oldest structures in this town, the Brome Hotel was owned by Omer Noiseux.A three-storey addition was constructed about thirty-five years ago by O.Lacham-L q who was then proprietor.The hotel was formerly known as the Cen- anrl commercial area surrounding it was destroyed.The city\u2019s hoiinelnss were reported to have been assembled in nearby summer resort towns and lodged in hotels ordinarily vacant at this time of the year.Reports thus far received mention only a few casualties.Losses from the fire, which meagre reports by way of a ship\u2019s radio in the harbor said started when an explosion occurred aboard an oil tanker moored in the harbor, were estimated at, from 100 to 150 million pesetas ($9,000,000 to $13,500,000).The tanker blaze was said to have Continued on Page 2, Col.2 Britain has been on the alert against
