report of the turning of the tide in the allied war effort against nazi germany war corre spondent wr plewman wrote that it can be said confidently and reasonably for the first time that the allies are winning he pointed to the contain ment of the dreaded german uboat as the deciding fac tor stating that the allied forces were knocking them out faster than they could be replaced the axis was run ning- out of steam reported plewman and he predicted somewhat optimistically that germany would be for tunate to prolong the war until the end of 1944 while this printed relic is noteworthy for its treatment of the subjects of great sig- nifiance to the general pub lic and select individiuals from this area it is the ads which so graphically illus trate the mores and folk ways of the day no
