To Replace Old Craft

The Navy has million tons OF
armored ships, 1000 odd planes, and
100000 men to shoot out from the
central base to a danger spot. This
force includes, however, about 200
900 tons of old vessels, incapable
of delivering a swift, heavy blow at
the enemy.
1t is the purpose of the new ma
val program to replace these over
age craft with swift new vessels
Among them are two battleships
of $4,000 tons each, now building
and dozens of destroyers, subma-
rineS and cruisers.

Tooth IS gOpored

One of the strangest festivals in
the world is observed in Randy,
Ceylon. Native bands clang mystic
music, dancers whirl along streets
and elephants in gorgeous trappings
lumber by-all in honor of a tooth!
The tooth is thought by Buddhists
of Ceylon to be the eye-tooth of their
god, Buddha. Supposedly, says the
Washington Post, it was picked off
his funeral pyre. taken to Ceylon
1000 years ago. Ordinarily, it re-
poses in the great temple at Handy.
But once year it is paraded at
huge festival or "Perahera." It
rides alone, encased in a diamond
studded. bell-shaped casket, on the

canopy over the tooth. The ele-
plant and the two pacyderms flank
ing it are jewel-bedecked. Lines of
dancers precede and follow the
relic.

Empire of Silence

Looking around on the noisy in
anity of the world, words with lit
tie meaning actions with little
worth, one lives to reflect on the
great empire of silence. The noble,
there, each in his department, silent
ly thinking, silently working, whom
no morning newspaper makes men,
ton of! They are the salt Of the
earth. A country that has none, or
few OF these. Is in bad way {.
Woe for us if we have nothing but
what we can show or speak. Silence,
the great empire of silence, higher
than the stars deeper than the king
doms of death! It alone is great;
all else is Sman.-Thomas Carlyle.

ARRIVE In CHINA
TO FIGHT JAPS

PETPING - {CNA)--A Japanese
spokesman declared this week that
I52 American volunteers, mostly
aviators, were serving with the
Chinese defensive forces. Nineteen
Of the Americans were Negroes, he
said.
From the fact that the announce
ment was made by an officer Of the
Japanese forces in North China, it
was inferred that the Americans are
operating on the North China front,
possibly with Ithe fambus Chinese
Eighth Route Army, the former
Chinese Red Army, which has to it's
credits many victories over crack
japanese units.
Within the last few weeks, the
Eighth Route Army, supported by
the armed population in its zone Of
operations, defeated an offensive by
SO, 900 crack Japanese troops and put
the enemy on the defensive. From
last available reports, the invaders
were desperately striving to hold off
series of fierce countar-attacks
that are disrupting their communica-
ton and supply lines, endangering
the entire japanese foothoid below
the Great Wall in Shansi.

Hub of the white population is the
Viceroy's palace, now occupied by
the recently appointed Duke of
Aosta, and sprinkled through the
colony are several restaurants, four
movie theatres, riding course, ten
mis- courts, and a small nightclub.
There are several Italian doctors,
dentists and tailors, several new
shops have been opened, and taxi
cabs, darting through the newly
paved streets give the community a
real European atmosphere.

the men outnumber the women seven
