Just before Ray Heatherton went
on the air for Westinghouse "Mu-
sical Americana" somebody asked
him who composed "Annie Laurie"
which he was to sing. Somebody
else piped up and said, "Robert
Burns, of course" Heatherton would
have won money on that question
on a quiz program, for he happened
to know that Burns was no musi-
clan, and didn't even write the
words of the popular old song.
Furthermore, he knew its history
that it developed as the result of
a romance between William Doug
las, young Scotsman, and the real
Annie Laurie; because her hard
hearted father objected to the ro-
nance, Douglas went off to the
Flemish wars without claiming her
as his bride. The verses, composed
by Douglas, were found by Lady
John Douglas Scott, who was dis
tant relative of Annie Laurie'S, and
she altered the words and composed
the music.

MORE HISTORY

When you stop to review the year
and campaign just passed, you can't
avoid saying that the Willkie up
surge is one of the most remarkable
political phenomena in our history.
AS late as March Willkie was
hardly known. The first Gallup poll
gave him only l per cent of the vote
for nomination, although it is true
that the same time the Dunn survey
predicted his nomination.
Out in st. Louis, metropolis of
Old Man River, the Negroes, who
were spurred to crusading action by
Joe Louis used an effective stunt.
All who got another WilllSie pledge
added another Willkie button to the
decorations on their breasts-a kind
of necklace for women, e sort of
shield for men.

WILLKIE AND LA GUARDIA
Mr.. Willkie, in the campaign now
closed, pointing to the mounting
debts and deficits of the federal gov
ernment and the trend toward price
initiation if it isn't stopped said: Its
like a person paying premiums into
a life insurance company that is
becoming bankrupt The premiums
are paid but the principal is never
called back from the bankrupt in
surance company" Whereupon
Mayor LaGuardia jumped up and
down squeaking, reckless, ire
sponsible, false"
The mayor said that, if Mr.. Will
kie had made such a statement in
New York about an insurance COM
pany, he could have been arrested
and sent to Jail. He called it an
insult to congress and an attempt
to frighten the aged, women, chill
dren and the blind and ''our govern
ment has never repudiated legal
obligation. Every one knows, that"
would like to have MIR. LaGuar-
dia show me the law that would put
a stockholder of an insurance COM
pany in New York in Jail for pro-
testing a course of waste and extrav-
agance inevitably leading to bank
ruptcy and the loss of policyholders'
benefits.
It was ridiculous. There is no
such law except as to false state
ments. We are all stockholders in
this government. Mr.. Willkie was
completely correct and well within
his rights.

ped with the army's great 16-incEl guns, while others have as their main arm the 14-inch disappearing rifles. There are also batteries Of 14-inch railway guns at each end of the canal.
 The latest additions to the forti- fications are the anti-aircraft and searchlight batteries which stud the hills near the most vital points the locks, dams and vulnerable Gaillard Cut.
 The location of these batteries is the most closely guarded of military secrets but Isthmian residents are aware that almost every new road which has appeared so mysteriously in the past year probably leads to Q concealed outpost back in the hills.
 The men who staff these jungle batteries pride themselves on be- longing to the organization. They call themselves "Jarman's Jungle Coast Artillerymen," for their commander, Major General Sander ford Jarman, who is a great hulk of a man, almost feet 4 inches in height and weighing well over 200

camp, most of them said they "just talked" while others mentioned go- ing into town once or twice a week to the movies or to swim. Generally, they said, after day of building and drill, they were too tired to do much of anything except roll into bed.
 Life at Battery T, or at any other jungle battery, is full of surprises. Often during the night the men are alerted to their battery positions to man their 105 mnl guns against simulated attack. These alertS are arranged from headquarters, but come unheralded.
 When headquarters communicates, by telephone or radio, with the out posts, the men are called out of bed by huge gong and within a matter of seconds are at their positions. Three major alerts have been held during the past few months when navy planes staged attacks on the Canal Zone and were repelled by the batteries working in conjunction with the searchlights.

two World War veterans are in the group. The men come from all over the United States with, possibly, a majority from the deep south, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
 Until the completion of the bar racks buildings, the battery slept in tents and the men still use lnos- quito netting over their cots because the barracks are not yet mosquito proofed. The camp still has no run ming water. Purified drinking water is furnished in great canvas water bags. washing facilities are still primitive. At present all perishable foods are trucked tip the hill daily.
 All of the construction work at Battery T and all of the other out posts has been done by the sol- diers themselves. The mess hall at Battery T was used for the first time last Thanksgiving Day with set table.

Later, he attend ed West Point, graduating in 1908. During the World War he served on the staff of the American Railway Artillery in the MeuSe- -Argonne of- fenSive and was awarded the Distin- guished Service medal.
 He came to the Isthmus ill April, 1889, and was made commander of the Coast Artillery Brigade when it was scheduled to leave for the Uni- ted States in January, 1941, but at the request of Lieutenant General Daniel Van Voorl1is, department commander, his tour of duty was ex- tended one year in order that the augmentation of the seacoast and anti-aircraft artillery might be com- pleted under the officer who had di- rected its progress from the start.

" Jungle Artillerymen" On Guard in Canal Zone
Sandy Jarman'S Command on War Footing for Year
BY ELEANOR McILHENNY NEA Special Correspondent

Balboa Heights, Panama Canal Zone, Dec. II = Probably nearest. to active service of any organization in the United States Army at the pres eIt time - with the possible excep- tion of the forces in Hawaii - is the Coast Artillery Command of the Panama Department.
 This outfit, with a strength of l2,000 men and with an. expected increase of several thousand with in the next two months, has been on a war footing almost since the arrival of the initial 800 of the first contingent in September, 1889.
 During the first few weeks of the European war, this outfit, con- prising the 62nd Coast Artillery from Fort Totten, N. Y, and a smaller detachment of the 61st Coast Artillery from Fort Sheridan, H., was rushed to the Isthmus.
 In the New York battalion were two gun crews which had won the international championships ill 1887 at Fort Ontario, N. r., and set new world record for anti d1ICId1b dI b1lLCIy, II oAlOIo pCA IllAAA- ute per gun, eight hits on target 14,0OO fett high ill 12 seconds (eight hits out of Is shots)
 These forces brought so many machine and anti-aircraft guns and so much ammunition that Canal. port authorities forbade their trans port to dock at the piers in Cristo- bal.
 Within a short time they began to make their presence felt, From their first bases at the coast ar tillery posts of Forts Randolph and Amador, respectively, at the Allan tic and Pacific entrances to the Panama Canal, they began slowly to expand until today their units cover the 10-mile wide, 50nlile long strip of land which acts as & cushion around the canal.
 NEW ROADS
 LEAD TO WHERE?
 For many years there have been coast batteries in place at the coast artillery posts of Forts Randolph and Sherman, f1anking the Allan tic entrance to the canal, Forts Amador and Kobbe and the fortified islands of Perico, Macs, and Flam- enco on the Pacific side of the 18th mus.
