Eventually and Now

When the President announced in a special message to Congress on July 2 that American troops were in Iceland, he indicated clearly that eventually" they were to take over completely the defense of that island. They had arrived, he said, "in order to supplement, and eventually to replace, the British forces. - Iceland understood that for in his interchange of messages with the president on the occasion of the occupa- ton, Prime Minister Jonasson of Ice land said, !" the President is therefore prepared to send here immediately United States troops to supplement and eventu- ally to replace the British force here." This was on July 2, and American forces were already there when the messages were exchanged. Eventually, American troops were to replace the British and take over completely the defense of Ice land.
 To what extent has this been done, and when will 1t be accomplished? Of course it is clear that the U. s. government can not issue bulletins on every ship clearing for Iceland, and give day-to-day account ings of the progress of taking over there. Military considerations forbid that. New erthelesS, nearly three months have now passed since the occuaption, and it is fair to assume that much progress has been made by this time in replacing the British forces At present, both countries have forces on the island. With British troops and planes there, it is legitimate object of bombing or other attack. With the British troops replaced and released for service in other places where they are desperately needed, it is not legitimate object of such attack.
 Having assumed the responsibility for guarding Iceland as an outpost vital to American defense, the only thing to do $ to guard it, put sufficient American forces there for the job, and see that they are supplied at whatever cost. But they should relieve the British forces as plan- ned, so that any attack on Iceland would be an illegal, unjustifiable attack on American troops, not juStifiable attack on British troops in which the death of American troops would be mere by- product. The American people will be relieved and treasured when it is possible to make announcement that the "event- ually" of July ? has become today's 'now."

A Thought for Today
Regrudingly Followed

The number of states that will observe the early Thanksgiving date this year is on the increase Already, eleven states have indicated their intentions of calling for observance on Thursday, November 20, instead of the 27th. Connecticut is expected to be in this list, because Gov ernor Robert A. Hurley some time ago said he would follow the presidential proclamation. And such New England die-hards as Massachusetts, Rhode Is- land, and Maine will also have an early celebration
 Just how slim is the chance of getting the United States to adopt change in calendar such as that recommended by the World Calendar Association can be judged by the opinions expressed in the last year on the Thanksgiving alteration. Actually it doesn't make much material difference on which Thursday of the month Thanksgiving is observed. The actual date of the month is rarely the same year after year. so it's hard to eX- plain logically why we should adhere to the last Thursday of the month.
 The advantage of fixed dates rather than ones which vary with the number of days of the month is obvious from practical viewpoint, but when it comes IO OUSSLVLIlb dIl SQCIl OCCdolOAlo U1lC A4AlSAs ican people are notoriously sentimental. It's a good thing to mix in a little senti- ment, because our worldwide reputation is generally that of a money-mad race, thinking little of the past, but looking ahead to the future, while enjoying the present ftiriously. On the score of altered holidays, though, we sometimes go beyond the sentimental stage and become uaaudlin.

mobiles These workers are ones who have taken up seni-permanent residence, in this state. They are not commuters. Many of them are still driving cars with license plates from other states, believing they were entitled to do this until the license had expired.
 Commuters going back and forth across a state line to their places of employ ment and homes are not in this class at all So WestcheSter County has no req son to feel alarmed nor to plan reciprocal action. We've had enough trouble of recent years in reciprocal highway tolls not to want another border Incident to be precipitated. The facts of the case are simple. There should be no misunder- standing on anyones part. Connecticut simply seeks to force residents to pro- cure state licenses for automobiles when 1t can be proved that residence has clearly been established here.

Who Is the Victim?

We in America believe in racial and reli- gious toleration if we believe in anything at all that makes our civilization distinc- tive and worth preserving, There is a phase of that, however, which we don't often think about We think of the injury dice and ill-feeling operate. We don't think often enough of what intolerance does to the person who lets it creep into his being.
 Intolerance is closing of doors, a turning down of lights, shutting out of vistas; it shrinkS and stultifies the mind which lets 1t flourish, injuring the intol- erant one, perhaps, more than the one against whom intolerance is practiced

Misapprehension

Westchester County, our neighbor to the southwest, would appear to be in bristling mood. The latest action of the county was a plan to adopt reciprocal action against Connecticut motorists who live in this state but work in New York. The reciprocal action was to force them to procure New York State markers, West chester believing that Connecticlut was ready to enforce such ruling against New Workers who work in Connecticut, but who commute every day.
 It was a mlslnterpretation of a recent statement given out by Motor Vehicle Commissioner John T. Mccarthy In which he said that several thousand de- iense workers In this state would have to Re6 Connecticut licenses for their auto

The recent federal indictment of Dr.. John R. Brinkley of Little Rock, Arkansas, recalls to quite few people no doubt the famous exploits of the well-known "goat gland" specialist. His has been spec tacular career in the last decade or so He might have been governor of Arkansas but for minor technicality which threw out sufficient ballots in the election to permit his narrow defeat He has amassed several fortunes. But now he and associates are charged with mail fraud. However, we wonder how many people recall that pr. Brinkley was in- volved in the famous medical diploma school uproar in Connecticut almost twenty years ago. It resulted in loss Of license for many practitioners as well as imposition of more stringent require ments for obtaining licenses to practice medicine in the state. pr. Brinkley's case, however, never came up because he was in the Orient or India at the time, sum- moned there to perform an operation on some potentate.

ent from the. bully beef and hard tack g1lawed by men of the AEF. The "C' ration consists of two tin cans: one containing seven ounces of very tasty stew of meat and vegetables; the other pow dered coffee, sugar, whole wheat, vitanized biscuits and square of chocolate. The chocolate, how- ever, induces thirst and is being replaced with hard candy.
 Usual procedure in eating the 70" ration is for the men to gobble first the candy and then the stew.
 Chief needs of the men in the field are bathing, laundry, and . good chigger cure. A new oil to repel chiggers Is being experi- naented with. If war games are held here next year, the men may do less scratching.
 The army alco is developing a mobile shower bath, which should be available in quantity next summer. Pending that, Lieut.. General Ben Lear, commander of the Second Army, proposed set- ting up bathing centers in near by ball parks, but the idea was vetoed by the War Department. Also rejected was & Lear pro- posal to furnish the men free laundry. Enlisted men now pay ,$l.26 month for washing.
 NOTE - Good drinking water is supplied the men in the field by mobile machines, purifying B. 900 gallons an hour.
 FIT AND HARD
 One thing these war games have proved is that the citizen soldiers are in superb physical condition.
 These boys are a magnificent looking crowd; fit, hard, keen- eyed, enthusiastic and amazingly well informed. Nobody is kid- ding them about anything. They are well-behaved, courteous, but frank and straightforward.
 Conclusive evidence of the fit- ness and discipline of this mans army is the fact that AWOL,s and sick reports during maneuvers have been practically non-exist- ent.

! A good many motorists are guilty of the action of driving their cars across the white lines that divide traffic lanes along many of our highways and streets. Some times this results in reprimands from patrolling officers or shouts from annoyed motorists. But seldom does 1t bring about an arrest. However, 1t did in New York City the other day and when the accused driver was presented in case on a traffic violation charge he was discharged. The presiding magistrate ruled that such d. viding lines are merely guide for motor ists. However, we can easily see how crossing them would be indication enough of reckless driving.

Views Of The Press

about general conditions.
 The runaway rent raises that have been plaguing working people and others in Bridgeport for months, in hundreds of instances, can be checked by the cooperation of all persons and interests concerned, most of all by the patriotism and common sense of the landlords themselves. the great majority of whom have refused to join in the inc flationary. rent-raising debauch.
 Perhaps many of them have their eyes on the future, when they no doubt hope to continue to have ten- ants remain with them, while the federal government practically gives away rents in the 1900 defense homes that 1t is talking about open ing, and in the l,750 slum clearance homes that are already built.

Polite Pressure

Silken bands, gradually frightened with the utmost politeness, are being drawn closer around the throat of the war effort of the aggressorS. The United States is on the verge of an agreement with Peru which will make available to it Peru'S entire SUD- ply of copper, vandiulm, and lead. Bolivia Is now sending all her tungsten and tin, Chile almost all her copper, Argentina half her tungsten. Mexico and Brazil are cooperating similarly.
 If we get it, the Axis won't get it. Why must we have t? Because the Axis has created a situation in which we must have it. Sorry! Why, we can say that almost as smoothly as the Japanese!

OLD CAR TRACKS
(Boston Postl

(Boston Post)
 Motorists will be thankful that old street car tracks are to be dug up and will provide scrap iron for the armament programme.
 It is rather surprising that as much as 232,00O tons of old aband- oned rails are irnbedded in city streets. When street car lines were discontinued and buses came in, the tracks were just left as they were in many places. The old tracks have been a nuisance to motorists, especially in wet weather when wheels might be caught in them. The scrap iron is needed by the government. That these old rails are finally to be dug up means that many streets will take on a better appearance.

(Frances Frost in the New York T1mes) Lank on his side-hill farm he lives with sorrel to his knees,
 with blue hay-cart leaning up against lopSided trees.
 We asked what sort of timberline lay up the ridge a mile: his dog had let the rabbits be up there for quite while. We asked what sort of meadowgrasS gave the narrow valley hay. "Well, I can't rightly tell you, now. The cows don't go that way We asked what sort of meadow grass from his cold mountain spring. "I got good water here," he said. Nov here's funny thing.

RAIDS BEHIND THE LINES

The Third Army has taken full advantage of the breaks given 1t by the terrain. Its underlying strategy has been to keep out of the mechanized forces and then to swarm over them from the Hanks and the rear.
 The Third Army's combat pa- troIs have displayed signal ag- gressiveness and res0urcefulness. They have Faided far behind Red lines, disrllpting co1nmuni- cations and supplies and forcing Red CLIO to evacuate hastily in order to avoid capture. Shifting an army headquarters at night, after 8 hard days fighting, Is no easy job.
 It also has been Q great ail- guish to the "war" correspondents covering the Second Army. who have piled Into camp at dusk dirty and tired and looking forward to showers, cool drinks and comfort able beds, only to have to hur- riedly pack bags and spend the night bouncing over dust drenched roads in blacked -out jeens.
 Biitz warfare is no fun for man, beast, machines or "war" corres- pondents.
 NOTE - Two years ago this month the entire U. 6. army was smaller than the Second Army, which Is only one component of the citizen army. In September, 1889, the U. S. army numbered 11l,000 men.

 Your friends and relatives in Louisiana have had plenty to eat during these field ilianeuvers.
 From new mobile kitchens, with food cooking while en route the boys have had ct least one hot meal a day. The food isn't fancy, but 1t is substantial and plentiful.

 Staff.
 Their purpose is to teach the d50,000 officers and men of the Second (Red) and Third (Blue) armies how to operate under re- alistic combat conditions as dis ciplined, coordinated teams. The games are like footballs grid practice.
 For months, in their own train ing centers, the citizen soldiers learned how to use the arms of their units = how to operate tanks and armored scout cars, how to fire artillery and automatic arms, how to hike, deploy, pitch camp. build bridges, set up corni11unica- ton lines, and do the jobs of an efficient blitz army.
 Without this training there could be no modern army. But the next step, to learn how to 0p.rate as team, is equally essential.
 FielC training cuts needless heavy losses in battle. The AEF was a heroic army, but as any Yet- eran will tell you, many men were lost because 1t lacked the field training which the citizen soldiers of Al are now getting. Tn this they are blessed with good for- tune. In our past history citizen armies had to learn the lessons of combat the hard way-under actual fire and at heavy sacrifice. AUGMENTATION vs. MEN
 Practically, the basic problem of war games Is a test between fast-moving armored power in one army and mass force in the other.
 The Second Army, 1s0,000 strong is made up of tank and motorized artillery, cavalry and infantry de visions. It is highly mobile, has fast and powerful striking force. It is essentially an army of at- tack.
 The Third Army, of S30,O00 men, is three times as strong and is made up chiefly of infantry, cav- airy, anti-tank and aircraft divi- sions. It too operates extensively on wheels but basically 1t is a defensive army. For the purpose of these games, both armies have attached to them an equal num- ber of aircraft. Also, the par- ticipating parachute battalions are operated by General Headquarters and alternate between the two armies to give both practice in using and opposing these surprise fighters who drop down from thu sky.
 The terrain in this rugged loW- land has been a tremendous ham, dicap to the Second Army. With a water table only two feet below surface level, the tanks and ar- mored cars have been compelled to keep largely to the hard-sur- faced roads, which are few and far between. So to minimize losses from air bombing, the me- chanized Second Army had had to move largely at night to take up positions to fight the next day. This has meant a terrific strain on men and equipment which they met with amazing residence and stamina. These boys and their machines are tough and sturdy, and in a wide open country they would have run the Blues ragged.
