Hungary to the Finnish-Russian
peace negotiations were reported
today in British press dispatches
from the Middle East and both
Axis satellites were represented as
possibly trying to get out of the
war.
At the same time, Berlin
broadcast a DNB Sofia dis-
patch saying Bulgarian Premier
Dobri Bojilov would make an
"Important' radio speech Sun-
day; the Hungarian MTI agen-
cy announced Premier Nicolas
Kallay would discuss "matters
of great importance” today in
the Hungarian parliament, and
the Budapest radio was per-
mitted to describe the Russian
peace terms as “very lenient.”
Dispatches from Ankara and
Cairo saying both Bulgaria and
Hungary might be seeking peace
were treated with greatest reserve
in London official circles, but con-
siderable speculation was stirred
over the arrival in Cairo of Sir
Hughe Knatchbull-Hugessen, Brit-
ish ambassador to Turkey, shortly
after Bulgarian Minister Bababa-
noff returned to Turkey from con-
ferences with his government
The greatest fear in both Ru-
mania and Hungary, and the prin-
cipal spur to peace. It was emphas-
ized in London is the approach of
the Russian armies to the borders
of both countries, with the possi-
bility that each might become a
bloody battlefield.

69 Nazis in Month
LONDON. March 2—(P) — Mus-
tang pilots of the U. 8. Ninth air,
force destroyed 68 German planes
and damaged almost as many oth-
ers as their contribution to the
record operations during February
in the European war theater.
A Mustang group led by Lt. Col.
James H Howard, St. Louis, Mo.,
made 13 missions during February,
fighting all the way from the ground
to five-mile altitudes and frequent-
ly 500 miles from their bases. Twelve
planes were lost.
Pilots reported the Germans were
improvising new suicidal tactics in a
vain attempt to halt the series of
successes of the new P-51 Mustangs.
Six of the pilots joined Howard
as aces during the month They
included Captain Jack T. Bradley,
Brownwood, Texas.

expressed views and said after

Other earlier reports from
Helsinki said the Finnish gov-

these were wholly unconfirmed.
The Stockholm press, meanwhile,
took divergent views of the pros-

inclining toward optimism while
others were frankly pessimistic.

CLOTHES - - -
Have gone to war!
Suits must last longer! You are ‘sharing
your wardrobe” with a soldier, sailor or
marine.
It is wise, therefore, to buy with service
and durability uppermost in your mind.
We can’t state this too emphatically—
S&Q suits are as fine in trimming, fabric
and tailoring, as it has been our pleasure
to show in twenty-nine years - - - and
that’s a great achievement in these
times.

B-V a Fine Meat Flavor
In concentrated paste form
Wilson’s B-V contains important elements
of good, red meat, with selected vegetable
seasoning to bring out the rich flavor. Use
B-V wherever meat flavor, meat juices or soup
track are required. Note how richly flavored
Wilson’s B-V smells. That is because it is so
highly concentrated. And it is why a half B-V
gives so much
flavor and goes
so far. Naturally,
Wilson’s B V
gives more
good meet fla-
vor per spoon-
ful and costs less
in the long run.

um advantages
