WITH THE ARMY IN TENNES-

swivel chair" commanders in the
forces meneuvering here, they must
have discovered by now that these
are not the good old days in the
Army.
This was the opinion of It'll Army
Corps officers as they displayed their
new portable command post This is
a day of swift movement of troops,
they explained, and the command
must move swiftly, too.
Higher officers, as we'll as unit
commanders, have found that they
must be prepared to keep pace with
their forces because in attempting
to set up permanent quarters in
battle, they find their control of
troops is weakened with each mile
of distance.
Easy Life Is Ended. @
So the officers, from generals to
heutenants, are learning to rough it
with their, men. They still draw
accommodations and conveniences
accorded their ranks-as long as
such luxurieS are available.
But modern tactics have taken
from them much of the easy life that
once was possible behind battle lines
that changed but little each day
Most of them now sleep in pup tents,
except a few generals and colonies,
and eat the same food as their men
Out of the necessity Of moving
entire commands on a moment s

Doomed 10 Failure,
Stimson Declares
Secretary Rejects ldeo
Of Terms With Nuzis
In ToIk at West Point
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press,
WEST POINT, N. Y, June IL
The issue raised by leaders of the
Axis powers, mot only demonstrates
that any compromise between their
system and ours is impossible" but
that their system lis doomed to
eventual and total failure" Secre-
tary of War Stimson declared today.
That issue, he told 420 graduates
of the United States Military Acad-
envy, is 80 clear-cut that its nature
should be apparent to any one who
faces 1t fairly.
ITO anyone brought up in Amer
lean standards it is an issue between
right and wrong, between freedom
and slavery, between kindness and
to compromise.
The people who are urging that
we can make terms with the Nazi
system and that our system can
peacefully live in the same world
with theirs today have simply not
thought this matter through. They
are guilty of wishful thinking"
There is no possibility for this
country with its principles and its
methods of life to live safely in a
world dominated by the methods and
practices of the leaders of the Axis
nations" Mr. Stimson continued.
The world has grown too small to
make that possible.
I'VE are now facing exactly the
same situation in the whole world
which Abraham Lincoln faced within
our Nation 80 years ago when he
pointed out that a nation divided
upon such an issue could not remain
divided 1t must either become all
one thing or all the other.

Because of the feasibility of
work being given out more central
ly, Mrs. Stephen Toadvine, chair
man of Red Cross sewing, has an
nounced that the Tuesday meetings
at the New Century Club will be
discontinued for the present. Mrs.
Toadvine has appointed ladies in
several parts of town who will act
as distributors for work, which
will be better located for those who
wish to do Red Cross sewing and
knitting. There are many garments
to be made and the chairman hopes
that everybody will respond to
the need for these garments. Sew
ing machines were needed for the
work at the New Century Club
which made another reason for the
disseminating of meetings there. In
homes where sewing is done, ma
chimes are always available and the
work goes forward more expedite
ously. Those who have consented to
give out materials at their homes
are Mrs. James w. Cannon, Mrs.

!
Active regimental field practice
training of the 19Sth Coast Artil-
lery Anti-Aircraft, Delaware regi-
ment, has been curtailed to some
extent by absence of target towing
equipment and loss of men.
The present strength of the regi-
ment is 1900 enlisted men. Ap-
proximately 300 men have been
discharged upon completion of one
years service or because of de-
Tendencies in the past few weeks.
Within the next two months the
regiment is scheduled to lose 200
more men. Some batteries have lost
nearly half their enlisted strength.
Requirements are not expected
until late in December or in jan
ary.
Airplanes for towing targets are
not available because they are en-
gagged in the First Army maneuvers
in North Carolina. A provisional

Century Club
Members Hear
Food Experts
Interesting And Instruc-
tive Meeting Monday
Afternoon Dealt With
Phases Of Nutrition.

An interesting and instructive
meeting was held at the Milford
New Century Club on Monday af-
ternoon when four members of the
Dietetics Association Of Delaware.
gave a panel discussion ON "Nutri-
tion." The quartette was compos-
ed of Miss Eleanor Mcknight, die
titan of Memorial Hospital; Miss
Henrietta Fleck, teacher of home
economics at the University of Del
aware; Miss Florence Yetter and
Mrs. Charlotte Spencer Hurley of
the State Board of Health. These
specialists discussed with each
other, for the benefit of the club
members the nutritive values of
foods, the correctly balanced meals,
the recommended way for dieting
for health, the public health angle,
the school cafeterias and many
more subjects that brought out the
fine points of each. Malnutrition
was given special emphasis. Things
they hoped for the future and for
the needs of people, were more gen.
eral Red Cross nutrition classes,
more teachers who will instruct in
nutrition, food clinics, conserva-
tion of foods in the home and some
program for men who have been
rejected by army boards and regu-
lations. Valuable information was
passed ON to the audience who ap-
preciated it since 1t came from spe-
cialists in nutrition.

ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey Brad
ley of near here, was killed on
Tuesday of this week by a truck,
with eight pennies, which had been
given her by the truck driver a few
minutes before, still clutched in

The driver, Ernest w. Simpson,
a close friend of the Bradley fam
lily and a favorite of Sylvia Jean,

the home while visiting the family.
AS was his custom, Simpson emp

sented them to his little friend for
her bank. The father then suggest
ed that the girl return to the house
and it was believed that she had
done so.
Later Simpson, preparing to
leave, entered the truck, cab from
the left side unaware that Sylvia
Jean had climbed on the right side
running board.
AS the truck moved forward the |
girl lost her balance and fell un-
der the machine. Before the driver
knew what was happening a rear

She died instantly.
Both the Bradley and Simpson
families were prostrated by the ac-
,ident. The Bradley home is locat-
