high powered raiding party Of
unique composition.
Organized under direct super
vision Of Maj. Gen. James K. Par
sons, Blue Corps commander, and
Maj. Gen. Edward Martin, COM
manding the 28th Division, the de-
tachment was composed Of two COM
posite infantry companies selected
from various commands and two
batteries of four 75-millimeter field
guns each. The infantrymen were
loaded into fast trucks and the guns
were hitched on behind. Command
Of the detachment was given to
Col. Eric Biddle Wood, Pittsburgh
architect and commander of the
107th Field Artillery.
Perhaps the first raiding party.
pure and simple, to carry artillery
along, the detachment went out
around the hanks hunting for tanks.
The 75-millimeter gun is a rather
remarkable weapon which can be
used with great facility for close
range as well as normal firing from
positions behind the battle line. Ac-
companying the infantry, 1t can be
placed with great rapidity and fired
at close ranges by ordinary sight
ing like rifle. The theory behind
the organization of the detachment
was that If tanks or armored cars
were met, the 75's could be unlim-
bered and used to smash even a
heavy tank concentration in short
order.
Capture Supplies.
Cruising around the f1anks and
in the BLACK" rear areas, Col. Wood
presently found by consulting his
road maps that he was nearing the
BLACK" rear echelon, with its quar-
termaster stores, ammunition dump
and supply nerve center, near Hoad-
ley. The units were disposed for
fast action and dashed in, tearing
the rear echelon apart, capturing
most Of the quartermaster force
and the supplies.
There were rumors that one of
the aims of the raiders was to cap-
ture Gen. Murray in retaliation for
the capture Of Brig. Gen. Amos w.
w. Woodcock of the 58th Maryland
Infantry Brigade. Col. Wood, how
ever, denied that he had gone out
with the intention of bagging any
generals. He did not deny that he
would have hauled in a general or
two with great alacrity had the op-
portunity presented itself.
Company A Makes Gains.
Gen. Woodcock's capture was Of
set. partially at least, when Com
pany A, 1st Battalion, 1st Maryland
Infantry, commanded by Capt. Guy
Anders, piled into trucks and swung

New War Resources
Board Will Study
Mobilization Plans
Col. Johnson Addresses
First Meeting Of
lndustriuIists
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Top industrialists comprising the
Governments new War Resources
Board were told today by Acting
Secretary of War Louis johnson
that their work would represent the
final measure" of preparation for
"any emergency"
Col. johnson advised them, how
ever, that their duties carried mo
implications with respect to the
present international situation"
Addressing the first meeting of
the board, formation of which was
announced a few days ago, Col
johnson said he expected the in
dustrialists to study plans of the
joint Army and Navy Munitions
Board for industrial mobilization in
an emergency and to make their
own recommendations for revisions
Edward Stettinius, jr., board
chairman and chairman of the
United States Steel Corp, said, in
statement, that the members would
consider primarily how the Ma
tions industrial and economic re-
sources could be prepared for the
part they must play "in the event
of war;
For the present, the board will
consider what additional steps ap-
pear desirable or necessary In per-
fecting the plans on which the de-
partments have been working for
many years." Mr.. Stettinius said
ut appears to us to be wholly de-
sirable and even essential that these
plans should combine both the
civilian and the military viewpoints.
I'VE have accepted this call to
service with the full realization of
the trust and responsibility imposed
upon us and with the determination
to do all in our power to bring to
fruition the defense plans as
promptly as possible. In this ef-
fort we ask for the same degree OF
support and cooperation which has
been accorded by the American peo-
pie to the defense measures already
adopted"
Officials said one of the first
activities of the new committee
would be consultations with Ber-
nard Baruch, chairman of the
old War Industrial Board, and others
whom officials described as "other
elder statesmen of the World War
period"

all in their heavy raincoats on this
day of wintry weather. The King
ignored rain, wind and mud and
climbed to the roof of a pillbox un-
der construction, where he stood
quite time, studying the lie Of the
land with the aid of maps.
In one of these blockhouses he
was keenly interested III the ques-
ton of cross-fire and other tech
nical matters, astonishing the Of
f1cers by his own knowledge. He
was now in the area of the guards,
detachments of which, with other
troops, were formed up in this
neighborhood.
It was time for lunch, and the
King with his party went into an
estaminet called Cafe de la Care,
now used as a mess for sergeants
and corporals. Except for a white
cloth placed over the oilcloth on
top of the table, everything had
been unaltered for the royal lunch
con party. On the shelves were the
usual bottles of a French estaminet.
On one of the walls was a dart
board, and on another simple
pendulum clock with a loud tick
took. On q little table under a
window was an aspidistra.
Expresses Gratitude.
A good-looking young French
woman, whose mother was sick up
stairs, sent cut hurriedly for a bou-
quet of red. white and blue flowers
upon hearing that the King was
coming. She wanted these, she
said, to express her personal graft
tude to England and its King be-
cause her mothers life had been
saved by one Of our army doctors.
The King thanked her personally
before leaving the hospitality Of her
little house.
He sat down with party of 30
to lunch of chicken pie, Christ
mas pudding and cheese. It was
u welcome meal for the King, who
came in cold and rubbing his hands,
but he shirked the Christmas pud-
ding, as he was afraid, he said, that
it would make him sleepy and he
had a lot to see. He drank a glass
of sherry before luncheon, which
he cut short by half an hour in
order to fulfill his program.
It was a full program, with a
study Of more pillboxes along the
muddy line and visits to more units,
among whom was a killed regiment
Of Scots, looking magnificent as they
stood with their pipes playing while
the King took a salute. Two bat
talions of English troops marched
from their places with drums and
flies, and everywhere, as the King
went on his way until dusk, the
cheers of the British Expeditionary
Force roared through the rain and
wind.

Noisy Picketing
|Neor Japanese
| Embassy Banned

There will be no beating of drums,
exploding of firecrackers. blowing of
horns or marching Of pickets near
the Japanese Embassy, Maj. Ernest
w. Brown has ruled.
The police superintendent. in a
letter to the Sino-Korean People s
League, turned down that organi-
zation's request for permission to
picket the Embassy on January S.
Maj. Brown pointed out that an
act of Congress forbids picketing
within 500 feet Of any Embassy or
Legation and that further District
regulations outlaw other parts of the
ambitious program outlined by the
organization.
The request came from Kilsoo K.
HAN, a representative of the league,
who said the organization wanted to
picket with drums, firecrackers and
horns.

The Lord Planted A Garden

tuC Lulu AohsCu IA NAHUM
The Lord God planted garden
On the first white days of the world,
And He set there an angel warden
In a garment of light enfurled.
So near to the peace of Heaven,
The hawk might nest with the wren,
For there in the cool of the even
God walked with the first of men.
And dream that these garden-closes
With their shade and their sunflecked
sod
And their lilies and bowers of roses,
Were laid by the hand of God.
The kiss of the sun for pardon,
The song of the birds for mirth-
One is nearer Gods heart in garden
Than anywhere else on earth.

be known. The slaughter is terrific
and so is the fun.
1t is in the history of state tourna-
ments that one team or another finds
itself at the last minute. The win
ner is seldom team that was highly
favored when the tournament field
gathered.
Somewhere there always appears
a group of boys with a little more
ability to rise to the occasion than
the rest of the teams and this is not
necessarily the group that made the
best showing in preliminary games
The state tournament requires some
special gifts and you never can tell
which team will have those gifts
when the showdown comes. The
Austin team that won a few years
ago was not at all impressive in
the first round of the state tourna-
ment; but it developed as play went
on. 1t was always just good enough
until, finally, it looked like a great
team in the final game.
The same was more or less true
of Thief River Falls last year. None
of the experts who watched the pre-
tournament practice picked the
Providers. Even after the first round
had been played those kids were
pretty much ignored. But they con-
tinued to be as good as they had to
be, springing upsets in each round
and there was no doubt about how
good they were when the tournament
was over. They weren't merely good.
They were great
Two Great Fights.
There never have been two such
boxing matches within one week in
this state as Minneapolis had last
week when Billy Miske, son of a
famous fighting father, outpointed
Bill Gillespie Monday and Dick
Demaray won a disputed decision
over Henry Schaft Thursday.
These were two brilliant, vicious
and dramatic engagements. I've
travelled 1000 miles or more to see
fights that could not compare with
ClIilCI VI IilSSS IWO IlOIlcSI, earliest,
whole hearted contests.
Demaray and Schaft are veterans
who have reached the limit of their
ability. They are never going to
bid for championship, but they
do give everything they have.
Miske and Gillespie, however, are
youngsters who may be important
figures in the heavyweight class some
day. Each of them has had an even
dozen professional fights and, already,
they are beginning to take rank with
the good respects. They'll be worth
watching for several years to come.
