Russians Celebrate
Victory Over
Germany
l
MOSCOW, May 25—<>P)—Sta
lin and other Soviet leaders con
gratulated themselves at a ban
quet last night in triumph over
the Germans. Although Stalin said
the government has made mis
takes during the early months of
battle, perhaps it was the high
point in the tremendous victory.
The gathering in the ancient
white hall of St. George in the
Kremlin heard Stalin’s toast to
the Russian people as he raised
his vodka-filled tumbler “I drink
first of all to the health of the
Russian people because they are
the most outstanding of all na
tions in composition of the Soviet
| Union.”
I Russian people make up more
than half of the population of the
i Soviet Union which includes vast
expanses in Asia. The toast by
Georgian born Stalin was consid
ered equivalent to Truman, a
Missourian toasting people in the
Eastern United States.

Mopping Up
Garrison of 50,000
On Mindanao
MANILA, May 25^P)—Three
American divisions joined along
the north and south highway in
central Mindanao Wednesday.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur re
ported today that the campaign
on that big Philippine isleand had
reached the “mopping up state.”
The juncture bisected Mindanao
from Macajalar bay on the north
to Davao on the south and served
to doom the remnants of the ene
my garrison, once estimated at
fifty thousand. Maj. Gen. Clarence j
Martin’s Thirty-First Division
made contact with the Fortieth
under Maj. Gen. Rapp Brush
along the Sayre highway against
slight resistance.
The biggest part of the central
Mindanao Japanese force with
drew to the hills east of the road
to fight it out. Maj. Gen. Roscoe
Woodruff’s Twenty-Fourth divi
sion to the southeast fought a
slugging battle with a large Jap
anese force entrenched between
Davao and Talomo rivers and Da
vao gulf. Three airfields in the
Davao area already are in use by
American planes.
