Maiechale, Now 85 Years Old, Keeps Posted WITH THE U.S. ARMY IN i FRANCE, Oct. 28 ff) A small! 84-year-old lady in black, her sight dimmed but her other j senses alert, is following the progress of; the--war battle by! battle-; mile by mile, city by city, as the Allies march towards Berlin. She is Madame le Marechale, widow of Ferdinand Fbch, Commander-in-Chief of the Allied .. it. . . i evenle. Temporarily a resident of a quiet town in liberated France, Madame Foch's1 'presence 1s unknown even to most of the community's citizens. She follows the war by radio, when power Is available.' Other times she gets the news'by'word of mouth'. Places which pop into prominence are' familiar' to her; she appears to know 'the terrain like a tactician.' One might imagine that it would satisfy a woman of Madame "Foch's years to know that the Allies were advancing. But no; she" wanted to know what was the farthermost town taken, and what were the distances with reference to the Belgian and German frontiers. A Cordial Hostess These Americans who have had the privilege of meeting her have found her more than cordial, arid as eager as the folks at home for a guess on when the war will end. On the table by her armchair Is a single handsome portrait of the late marshal. When a guest arrives and leaves she Insists upon rising t6 shake hands. The arrival of American troops has heartened her, she said; Just as it gladdened' her husband In 1917-18, to welcome the 'men In khaki, "so young, so fresh, and so vigorous." She knew, she added; that "America would not let France down." Recalling General Pershing. sne asked about his health. Marshal Foch-accompanied him to Brest when the American leader sailed home, and on. General Pershing's most recent visit to France' he called om Madame Foch in Paris and 1b. Brittany. On the. broad- aspects of. the war, she placed ' her opinion squarely, behind the late marshal's whose views are in hi? memoirs. The graying lady has a sage and mellow answer to the tremendous question: "Can ATTENTION CITIZENS PniNCE RUPERT . . , BRITISH COLUMBIA. subscription rates By City, Carrier, per week .. .15 - Per Month . - C5 jjrisk Boxjng Bout Per Year 57.00 ' By Mail, per: month 40 , Per Year $4.00 DAILY EDITION Saturday, October 28, 1944 EDITORIAL Victory Bonds Help Win War "Invest in Victory," the slogan of the Seventh Victory Loan, is a clear challenge to Canadians. Subscribing to the Victory Loan is one of the easiest ways in which to help win the war. It may call for self-denial but it does- not call for real sacrifice and, if it is a bit hard, to save the money, there is the assurance that the savings are invested most soundly. Victory Loan Bonds are like a comforting cash reserve, for they can be borrowed against in a family emergency. When the fighting has finished and peacetime plans, can be realized they will be on hand to help make some pet dream come true. Buying bonds is a sound'way to save money and a sure way to shorten the' 'war a sure way of investing in victory. f FDD Radio Dial V r f K 1240 Kilocycles (Subject to Change) SATURDAY P.M. 4:00 Sound off- 4jl5 G.

Stewart, port commander, returning to. Smith the symbolic belt he won from the same opponent at Ketchikan two months ago. The winner was commended as "a worthy champ" and the. contender, as "a credit to the fight game." The boys weighed In at 147 pounds each and presumably weighed the same when' they went out for there was very little blood lost. However, if the god. ' of mayhem was deprived of a prostrate devotee, It was not be-vcause the two contenders did not try their best. By making precise use of a left hock which he has developed, Smith managed to stay relatively undamaged throughout the fight meanwhile Inflicting, sustaineu punishment on the Ketchikan, boy.

GOOD BILL OF PRELIMINARIES Sometimes the preliminary features of a championship fight card turn out to. be amateurish displays which the fight fans, sit through wearily, buoyed only by the hope that eventually they may see a good fight. However, the five' preliminaries to last night's Acropolis Hill championship battle were of a different order. Each bout had vigorous merits that was loudly applauded In the bleachers. Outstanding bout among the three-rounders was the Urban Hernandez - Welman Wallace seml-windup. In which Wallace, on up-and-coming Acropolis boy who trains under Ray Smith, took a unanimous decision over the older Hernandez. Hernandez weighed in at 159 pounds and Wallace at 162. Wallace, a lanky boy with tremendous hitting, power, carried the fight to the cdnny Hernandez throughout the three rounds, and.wasmet by a succession of short Jabs which did not stop him. A left by Wallace put Hernandez, on the canvas Just as the final bell rang. Surprising talent was shown by the BoilermakersSBUl Oalrd-ner, who won his first public bout last night by taking a split decision over Bob Berger oi Acropolis. Berger-, who was long In the arms, and fought with cool deliberate form, was unable to repel 18-year old Oalrdner's impetuous rushes, which carried penormance required no apology ; obtained little sleep an unfor- , a lot of punishment. but it may be, worth revealing tunate prelude to a champion- j Briefest bout of tho evening that, on the night before the ship fight.
