The Fruits of Conquest

There is considerable evidence

Up to now the preponderance of
military success has been with the
Rising Sun. But news now comes
from the district north Of HankoW
that the Chinese are striking BACK
with remarkable success. The ef-
tort to organize Chinese in the Ok
cupied territory to fight Chinese
outside it has not been successful.
The continual wearing away of
guerrilla warfare IS not doing the
f8r-flung japanese troops any
coed. And the strain Of month
after weary month Of what was TO

victory is a very trying one, both
from the military and the financial
angle
The war cost, in men, money and
resources, is piling up-and precious
little is coming back frcm China
except the endless stream of little
urnS containing ashes of what were
Japan'S best young men.
There is evidence which, On the
face of it. indicates an increasing
desperation on the part Of Japan
The decision to interfere arbitrar-
ily with the ordinary neutral trade

like the British and American
neither of which is without power

Such policies are not idly OF

desperation in civilian bombings
and restriction of medical supplies

nese are not marks of confidence.
Meanwhile Japan is gradually
losing the foreign markets in tho

Whiteside at Capitol 81 Years
As Congressional Secretary
Senator Corowoy's
Aide Believed to.
Hold Record

Thirty-two years ago Garrett
Whiteside, a young Arkansan. came
to Washington to take over the
duties Of secretary to the late Rep
resentative Ben Cravens Of that
State on March 4, 1907.
Although only 81 years old, Mr..
Whiteside, now secretary to Senator
Hattie w. Caraway of Arkansas,
believes he is the present record
holder for continuous service as q
congressional secretary.
While there are permanent on
cials on the stan of the House or
Senate who have been at the Capt.
tol longer, 1t is more unusual to
achieve continuous record of over
80 years in the offices of members,
when it is considered that the tenure
Of a congressional secretary de-
pends on the reelection of the Rep
resentative or Senator every two or
six years.
On the night that President Wood
row Wilson delivered his war mes
sage to Congress in 1917, Mr.. White
side, who was in the of1lce- Of the
House bill clerk at the time, took
down on a typewriter from Chair
man Flood of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee the text of the
resolution for the declaration Of
war
BY a coincidence, Mr.. Whiteside
began his career as clerk to the
House Committee on Enrolled Bills
and today is clerk to the Senate
Committee on Enrolled Bills, of
which Senator Caraway is chairman.
After six years in the House Rep
resentative Cravens did not seek re-
election. and Mr.. Whiteside became
secretary for eight years to Repre-
sentative Otis Wingo of Arkansas.
In 1921 he became secretary to the
late Senator T. H. Caraway. When

him by Earl w. Brown, manager

said: 1T is interesting to note
that travel to Florida this sum-
mer, by all lines of transporta-
ton, is 100 percent greater than
last summer and have no hest
tation in predicting that Florida
is facing one of her greatest tour

Agreeing with Browns predic-
ton, the State Chamber official
itemized several factors that
point to 1939-40 as a great winter
season.
First, while Florida regrets
the conflagration, the. present
European War will keep at least

tourist dollars from going abroad

tBy BOB BALFE,
ere back from war duty.

We're back from war duty.
We have proven ourself a man
of action. While others con
tented themselves with talk, we
just up and proved ourself a
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS" guy.
1t all started couple of weeks
ago when someone reported see
ing a submarine off Key West.
Lots of folks became excited over
the thought of U-boats around so
near us. Some even became
alarmed. But not us. We rose
to the occasion nobly. When no
one else even suggested doing
anything about it we volunteered
our services. We told our boss
man that we'd be willing to sac
rifice our entire vacation to go
check up on that submarine re-
port.
So that's how we happened to
60 to Key West, and to the Naval
Station, where the commanding
officer is Lieut-Comdr. F. H.
Callahan, who's not only swell
guy but fine example of what
Annapolis and the U. S. Navy can
produce. He didn't think much
of the submarine rumor. But he
was willing to help us in our self
appointed task.
We talked it over at great
length, and in fact it took US a
couple of days to get around to
mapping our campaign of action.
To be perfectly truthful we must
admit that we enjoyed those
days, but not for a minute would
we have you believe that it was
a vacation. Never did we forget
our misunderstanding duty.
Once we even went up in a light
house and looked over the sur
rounding waters-but no sign OF
a U-boat. We were so conscien-
tious about the whole thing that
we even kept our eyes open I'M
der water while swimming-but
no U-boat.
So then one day we reached
the climax of our submarine
hunt. Out to sea we went. The
skies were little heavy, and the
water a trifle rougher than usual.
but wa were determined. We
went dbout 10 miles out in the
