NALZIS CLAIM CAPTURE OF 380,000 MEN (Continuea from Page One) DOUGLAS COUNCIL INCREASES APPROPRIATION FOR SCHOOL Business connected with the pub- chief asset, of Douglas was again the paramount issue with the City Council at regular session held last night. Due to a reduction in the ter- ritory’s share of expense in main- taining the school during the pres- ent term, the City Fathers agreed to hoost the original appropriation by $215.00 rather than have certain items in the budget eliminated al- together. Items affected by the revised allocation include supplies for school rooms, lahoratories, man- ual training, library, musical and stationary. The City's share the first two months of the war at only 85,000 dead, 296,000 wounded and 20,000 missing. Nazi military dispatches asserted that advances of the Red Army’s counter offensive east of Smolensk on the central front guarding Mos- cow “collapsed under German fire.” Advices reaching London this afternoon said the Red Armies are successfully pressing counter attacks in a new sector around Glukhov, northeast of Ukraine, 145 miles southeast of Gomel. KITIEN, PUPPY JOIN RANKS OF ALASKA GUARD of the total now stands at $5246; Territory's share is $11,918. Report covering purchase of a new Dodge truck for the city was made and Mayor Bonner affixed his signature to the payment contract. Free use of the truck to haul rock for the Eagles bowling alleys was granted. Better lighting for St. Ann's Avenue and added fire protection in the vicinity of the Nordstrom property on the .avenue, also cer- tain improvements to float facili- ties at the dock were among other matters discussed and Msted for future reports. The resignation of- Carl Lind- strom as member of the Council was read with acton deferred until next regular meeting. ————————— RETURNING FROM SKAGWAY Mr. and Mrs. Orrin Edwards are expected home in ‘ the morning aboard the Columbia, same ship on which Mrs. Edwards’ sister Mrs. Tom Jensen with her husband are leaving for the south. The Ed- ward's will occupy the Jensen cot- tage during the latter’s absence. B S NURSING CLASS TO BE ORGANIZED Any Douglas women wishing to enroll for course in home nursing should contact Mrs. Burr Johnson at Juneau or Mrs. J. R. Guerin of Douglas. If there is enough inter- est the class will be organized next week. Rt et n v semsccad When an Army transport or Navy vessel pulls away from Jun- . |eau this week with local men and officers of the 207th Infantry Reg- iment (the recently inducted Al- aska National Guard), a coalblack kitten and a friendly puppy of un- certain ancestry will clamber aboard for the trip to Chilkoot Barracks near Haines. It's probably a military secret, but the kitten has been adopted as one of the regimental mascots, in- asmuch as it wandered into head- quarters on induction and the pup was giyen to the of! today. Just when the troops are to leave for their new base is known only to a few_ high-ranking officers, if that many. However, rumors have it that a transport ship will call at | Ketchikan this week to pick up ‘members ‘of the First City’s con- tingent and then come here. Of- fically, of course, owing to the ‘War Department’s hush-hush cam- paign on troop movements, the im- minent departure of Alaska's Own is not even beipg acknowledged, perhaps because of the possibility that schools of whales recently sighted in Icy Straits actually may be camouflaged German U-boats lying in wait for the transport.
