The Democrats gather in conven-
tiola at Chicago Monday, with even
President Roosevelt's most severe
critics within the party agreeing
that he must run for a third term
q there Is to be a chance of victory

unity almost impossible even If the

If you meet it half way the Army
is a swell berth. At least found it
suited me well enough to sign up
nine times. The food is tops. CLOTH
ing is warm and plentiful, Quarters
are clean, dry and healthy. The pay
won't buy you yacht but it will
reach around most things you need
to make life comfortable. l drew
SIS a month in my first hitch.
Now new men get $21 and it goes
up to $50 after four months. Then
trainees have full opportunity to
apply for non-commissioned rank
and reserve commissions.
Promotion depends on individual
initiative and the Army has lots of
room for good men who want to
move up Any soldier can get all
the Through he wants to see his
family. The regulations encourage
granting furloughs
HardbOiIed To Get Lesson
OF course if the rookie wants TO
get hardboiled with the Army, the
Army can take it-and dish it out
Regulations set up a program for
taking care OF the tough guy. For
minor offenses, by far the most
frequent. these boys can be softened
up by extra fatigue. cleaning up
quarters or peeling spuds, or re-
striction to their company area or
post.
Repeaters and more serious Of
tenders wind up in court martial
and face a stretch in the mill, loss
Of pay or dishonorable discharge.
When the rookie has discovered
that the Army is just little tough
er than he is, his best defense is to
be honest with the Army.
A truthful reply to an officer or
a non-com saves a soldier more
dough and more time than the best
argument he can think of. A phony
anbi only adds to the charges
against him.
AS a final word, remember you're
in the Army because the country
needs you and that the Army is a
serious business. Take your respon-
sibility and not yourself seriously.

(NEA Service STAFF Correspondent
washington, Nov. 19.-John @
Citizen may be assigned to the fielc
artillery by his officers, If they fine
he has had some engineering train
ing or is an expert in laying tele-
phone wires or is familiar with
heavy motor vehicles.
DrafteeS will find the new fiel6
artillery is partially mechanical
with heavy motorized vehicles fol
the hauling of heavy guns, but thai
horses are also still used, especially
for hauling lighter pieces.
The main weapon of the field
artillery is to be the los nm.
hOwitzer when it is produced in
quantity to replace the modern
lied IS nm. gun. The latter will
not be discarded, but will be used
as an anti-tank weapon.
The biggest allotment of artillery
is to an army brigade, which will
have three battanonS armed with
IL of the TO- nm. howitzers or the
rs nm. guns, as well as battery
of six 80 nm. anti-tank guns. 1t
will also have battalion armed
with 16 1855 nm. howitzers, six 81
nm. anti-sank guns and battery
of eight rs nm. guns.
DrafteeS in the first weeks of
service will get pretty much the
same kind of drill as infantrymen.
Then they are attached to gun
battery: They learn to maneuver
over difficult terrain, to occupy fir
ing positions, to execute any fire
mission, to maintain systems of sup
ply and communication and to do
these things both by day and by
night.
The men designated as can
nOneers arr taught to famiIiarize
themselves with the artillery
pieces, to take them apart and
put them together again and to

and do what they tell you. They are
the ones whom the Army has as
signed to look after you.
Like any other organization which
has a job to get done regardless OF
the odds, the Army runs on discip-
line. It's the same as the home the
rookie comes from only the trim
mings are different.
The thing to remember is that
discipline is enforced not only for
the good of the Army and the colln-
try but for the gooo Of the soldier
himself, just as q parent entorceS
discipline for the good o: his son
and daughter.
Obey YUar Orders
When you get an orGer, comply
with it. If it seems unjust the first
sergeant will listen TO what you have
to say after the order is carried out
so that If there was unjUstness it
won't be repeated.
ToughnesS in the army just for
toughness' sake is a thing of the
past. remember one incident when
O group of men were being assigned
their duties and the last two were
sold to water the commanding offic-
tr's lawn. One piped up: sergeant,
It's raining"
Orders are orders" was the re-
ply. Put on your raincoat and wa
ter the lawn
That doesn't happen often any
more in this army.
Just before our big AiSne-Marne
offensive in France our company
had reached the front after Co.
hour forced ride. Orders went out
to assign two men from each squad
to fill canteens at a well several
miles to the rear. One man who
was to fill his and three other can
teens didn't like the order and it
wasn't carried out.
AS result three OF his buddies
went into the start of a five-day
battle in, the middle of hellish
July without water.
Good Fellowship
Next to appreciation of discipline
the thing that will make Army life
happier for the individual rookie
and all of his pals is good fellow
ship and respect for the other fell
lows rights.
II your buddies don't like you, if
they think you're laying down on
them or acting too cocky or too big
for your boots they'll be tougher
than the toughest old style "topkick"
ever was.

Once more Churchill rose to the
attack. He reminded Chamberlain
that, at the end of the last war, the
admiralty said that in the event Of
another big war it would be diff
cult, If not impossible, to keep Brit
ain fed unless the British navy and
air force could make use of those
very Irish ports. Again he went
unheeded.
Today Fire has proclaimed neu-
trality and the further fact that
British warships and airplanes can
not make use of those Irish ports.
In a recent speech Churchill
spoke of the grievous and heavy
burden placed upon Britain. Speak
ing to the Dali, Premier de Valera
disposed of Churchill's hint in one
brief sentence:

not intend 70 give them back"

AS haters of Nazi tyranny. the
Irish may pray for Hitler's defeat,
but their reason deems it fatal to
range themselves in the fight as
long as they are not attacked.
But some even in Fire ask: "If
Britain succumbs to the Nazis,
would Hitler spare Ireland?"
The answer is always: There is
better chance that he would. if

Prophet without honor in his own
country in the very recent past,
Winston Churchill today has the
grim and heart-breaking realization
that Great Britain'S plight is due to
the fact that what he foretold has
come to pass.
The sins of omission and commits
sion were not his. But now he has
to fight against results of those sirs.
Churchill, acting as lone wolf
in the Tory party. day after day
not so many years ago weightily
warned Britain about the coming
air menace from Nazi Germany.
A former British government,
when the Kaiser lusted for war and
its prizes, built warship for warship
with Germany, SO Churchill begged
the government of the day to build
airplane for airplane with Germany
He asserted hostile airplanes were
a greater menace to Britain than
hostile ships, His warnings went
unheeded.
