Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 1s.-The situa-
ton In retail radio sales, as reported
to Radio Retailing for June by over
1000 dealers, Is at 'low-water slack
that interval when ebb tide has not
stopped and the flood tide has not
yet begun to run.
While Radio Retailing's barometer
drops back to Aprirs level Of 81 for
June after having climbed to s9H In
May. that slight decline in total unit
sales for the entire country has little
significance at this time of the year.
particularly when we consider what
the industry has passed through In
the last nine months.
Important Is the fact that more
dealers than at any time this year
have reported June increases over
unit sales of the same 1887 month.
Arkansas, California, Georgia, Idaho,
Texas, the Atlantic Coast States have
many such dealers. In the Central
States, Illinois, Indiana. Iowa, Wis.,
consin, there are almost Is many
dealers showing increases as declines.
In small towns of agricultural areas
many dealers report good sales, while
in the cities set sales linger we'll below
last years level.
Many dealers state frankly that
their stocks are very low and sales
effort practically non-existent while
they are waiting to see the new mod
els, decide on new lines and get q
fresh start Other dealers have made
running start with new models and
credit the increases they report In
June unit sales over last years June
to the big value shown in new models.
From several important sales terri
tories retailers are reporting volun-
tarily that the outlook for business
has improved materially during the
last 10 days Of June.

growing improvement in sentiment.
Launched from the improved June
level" the agency said. the rise in
retail distribution was somewhat stead
Ter and more evenly spread. Most Of
the increase In wholesale volume was
provided by bookings at the numerous
trade shows and the extension Of fall
buying.
Lifting Of summer schedules at
some plants and the recall Of workers
at few Of the major producing CEN
ters improved the outlook in some in
dustrial divisions
The agency estimated retail sales
for the country as whole at from 2
to 7 per cent ahead of the preceding
week, but from to IA per cent under
the comparable week last year.

The corresponding week last year." the
review said, "and retailers generally
had the fastest turnover since Easter.
Organizations serving rural regions
have revised upward their estimates of
summer volume, based on returns from
districts where first movement of
bumper crops left trail of ready
cash."
On the industrial front, the review
found increased orders to shoe manu.
facturers and better activity in tex
tile mills as well as upward revisions in
summer schedules in a number of
other leading lines, including manu-

ment gave way to
concern, for just
then Gen. Jake's
boys came swarm
ing out Of the
woods.
What followed
was pretty awful,
even for a war. Our

bered those Ger
mans who had
crossed the bridge
about three to one.
We had the advan-
tage Of knowing
just what we were
to do and having
. flock of machine
guns set up ready
for use.

ners moved down those German
boys like wheat before . thresh-
er. They lay in windrows. Those
who managed to find some sort
of shelter we routed out and either
shot or bayoneted. It was CORY and
merciless and-damn me If 1t wasn't
inhuman-even for a war.
BY the time that slaughter was
finished and our own wounded cared
for and the outfit organized again,
the body Of Germans left on the other
side Of the river had built . pom
toon bridge. and what with this and
boats and RATS they were coming
across with murder in their eyes.
But Gen. Jake had planned every
thing. Before the first Of the re-
naming body Of Germans touched
the LAmeraux side Of the river We
were in retreat, and q fast retreat
at that, although there was plenty
Of time and nothing much to worry
about.
You see, the number Of the Ger
mans who were left on the opposite
side Of the river was only slightly
less than our own gang, and Gen.
Jake wasn't taking chances. No, sir.
Not Gen. Jake.
THAT evening we reached the town
Of La Roche, which was occupied
by plenty Of our boys, and there we
made camp. I don't know exactly
what sort of report Gen. Jake turned
in at headquarters, but I do know
that he was cited for the lAmeraux
episode not long after. And I do
know that the American newspapers
carried q fine account of the affair,
explaining in detail how, though
hopelessly out-numbered, Gen. Jake
obeyed orders from headquarters, made
. gallant stand ut the village Of La
meraux, succeeded in killing several
thousand Of the enemy, and then,
because reinforcements arrived, was
forced to retreat, thereby saving the
lives Of more than half his own out
At.
That's the sort Of thing that makes
q war hero, guess. At any rate,
that's the rank Gen. Jake goes by
now-war hero. Sometimes I smile
when I think Of 1t. Maybe I'm dumb.
Maybe got this hero business all
wrong. Maybe I don't know what
you have to do to get . medal. But
one thing do know. I know what
happened at LAmeraux, because I
was there, and I don't talk about 1t
