Simultaneously, Soviet forces cleared the last scattered groups of German resistance from a 290-mile stretch of the Danube river—from its Black sea delta to the oil port of Giurgiu—and drew level with the Bulgarian border on a 144-mile front. Some reports said that the Red army had crossed into Bulgaria.
Although the Germans were massing and regrouping the remnants of their shattered Romanian armies and rushing reinforcements into the Balkans the second Ukrainian army under Marshal Rodio Y. Malinovsky, fanning out west and north of Ploesti, captured more than 40 towns and settlements.
Twenty-three miles west of Ploesti, Malinovsky’s powerful tank and mechanized forces seized Rasvadu, only two miles from the big highway junctipn of Targoviste and 35 miles east of Pitesti.
While these elements drove toward Yugoslavia, other troops struck north from Ploesti to seize the rail town of Valenti De Munte, 22 miles southeast of Brasov as they battled across the Transylvanian passes.

Royalty asked to file names
Potential sophomore queens will have one more week to submit their self-written petitions to the sophomore council according to George Garrel, class president, in order that more candidates may enter the competition, the winner of which will enter the contest against the frosh representative.
The sophomore dance, co-sponsored with the freshman class, will not be given until Oct. 7 when the grid team clashes with California, said Garrel. The winner of the contest will be introduced with attendants from her class and the opposing candidate at the dance.
Petitions for the contest must be submitted through the ASSC office some time this week, said Garrel. Women interested are asked to submit their names, class (sophomore), qualifications, and talents on a paper to the student body office, second floor Student Union, or submit them to Garrel or members of the sophomore council. The winner will be picked at the council meeting a week from tomorrow.
Candidates from both classes will be selected by the members of the respective councils and will be elected by popular vote. The freshman-sophomore brawl is an old tradition of the Trojan campus, according to Garrel, and is one of the many traditions the sophomore and freshman councils are endeavoring to revive.

Reporters get gigantic scoop on absolutely 0
Five Trojan reporters have a soft spot in their hearts today for a vacant lot in downtown Los Angeles. It isn’t often that people can find a little affection for so inanimate an object as a vacant lot, but these reporters watched that lot for four hours last Friday morning—they watched and nothing happened.
The five sat in an automobile pulled up to the curb and kept a constant vigil, but nothing happened.
They kept their eyes on a red and blue wagon which was marked by six red lights and innumerable bright white ones—but nothing happened.
They noticed the approach of numerous hobos and tramps, a few night defense plant workers—but nothing happened.
The five s;*t there for * four hours until the street lights had been dimmed and finally turned off, until the sun had crept up from behind the city dump down the street, until the first automobiles with the morning shift in tow began to stop for the traffie signals—but .nothing happened.
The five finally gave up watching the vacant lot and returned to spend a weai-y day in classes, but as they pulled away and turned the corner—something happened.
A bulldozer pulling a caravan of trailers turned into the vacant lot, a car load of people in outfits of assorted order and disorder arrived, elephants, zebras, camels, and horses eatne parading down the streeit
The circus had arrived at last but as far as the five reporters were concerned nothing happened.

than a whiff was inhaled. The only probable danger might be in trench warfare where great quantities of the gas could be breathed, added Dr. Burg.
Protection from Germany’s new and odorless gas is not covered by the gas mask. Actually, there is one such gag which has been known for hundreds of years—carbon monoxide. This is very volatile, and eould not be managed in large quantities on the battle field. To be practical for military purposes, a fas must be capable of transportation as a liquid, and such gases would be captured by the carbon In the masks which purify the air. stated Burg.
There still must be scientists in Germany, and a new type of gas, similar to carbon monoxide, could be discovered, but the possibility of controlling and inclosing it is vague.
The general public holds a horror of gas. but compared to high explosive warfare and its damage, gas is quite humane.
The automobile manufacturers have been producing military vehicles long enough to give a car to every serviceman—army and navy. Thus the sudden onrush of tanks and mobile units in France will be the greatest defense against any possible gas attack, declared Dr. Burg.

Troy requests poetry reading
A new campus interest was again shown in Troy when over 100 students requested Dr. Frank C. Baxter, professor of English language and literature, to resume his poetry reading classes next fall.
“These meetings were so popular last term that we thought it would be good to start again this coming term,” was one of the reasons given by a student. Baxter’s interpretation and quips throughout the reviews take, what some students believe, the effeminacy out of poems.
“Dislike for poetry by students usually comes from not understanding it,” said Doctor Baxter. These meetings will help the student to comprehend and further enjoy poems.
Doctor Baxter is known throughout the university for his interpretation and enthusiasm in his English courses. Many students have heard the remark, “If you haven’t had Doctor Baxter for a course, you haven’t been to college.”

Bond sales gets boost from Kings
Climaxing a week of Blue Key bond selling, the Kis£ sisters and other Hollywood stars are scheduled to appear at an all-U bond rally Friday night in Bovard auditorium.
Under the chairmanship of Jack Collis, Blue Key members will sell bonds and stamps in the Victory Hut from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. throughout the week.
Students are asked to contact community organizations and individuals who usually buy bonds for SC campaigns and urge them to credit the bonds to the Blue Key drive.
Bonds do not have to be purchased at the Hut in order to be counted in the total sales for SC. emphasized Bob Daigh, Blue Key president. People buying bonds should ask the bank or post offiee for a credit slip and mail this to Blue Key bond drive, care of Arnold Eddy.
“It is important that we receive these credit slips,’’ said Daigh. “SC’s previous campaigns have influenced sales throughout Los Angeles, but we are not given credit if the slips aren’t sent Hi.” Participation by Blue Key In the stamp and bond drive is part of the War Board’s program of scheduling various campus organizations to handle sales in the Victory Hut for a week. Joy Cameron, chairman of bonds and stamps. Is in charge of instruction and organization schedules.
Chuck MacKenzie, publicity chairman, promises Friday’s rally to be well worth the purchase of war stamps for admission. The King sisters will appear, along with motion picture celebrities and an army band supplied by the treasury department “Since the Hollywood for Vletory committee and the Treasury department must release any stars appearing at bond rallys. we will not be able to announce the all-star list until Wednesday,” said MacKenzie.
“The King sisters were released early, so we can definitely promise that theV will appear.”
Seating in Bovard auditorium will be according to arrival, with no sections reserved.
“We can’t emphasize the Importance of contacting outside organizations,” said Jack Cortwright in charge of faculty and administration sales. “Many people who bay bonds anyhow would be glad te credit them to SC.” If students do not have time to solicit individuals. they are asked to submit the names to Blue Key and members will contact them.
Servicemen’s allotments for bonds are not credited in the drive, and trainees who intend to purchase extra ones are urged to do so this week, said Collis.

Cinema Is the art form of the 20th century, and is the only art form which involves movement and motion. Cinema is the one art that does not stand on just one principle but incorporates all the arts and crafts.
The one man who has done more to develop motion pictures than any other is D. W. Griffith, according to Moore. His great epic “Intolerance” has been showed and itudied
"Intolerance” is the story of the Civil war and what took place after the peace. In “Intolerance” Griffith used the moving camera and huge mobs of people for the first time most effectively.
One of the main reasons that this movie proved to be effective was the way it was cut and edited. In cutting, the method of double printing which gives a view of two completely different scenes at the same time, was used.
