Poles Who Escaped
Train Second Army

The tale about the heroic
Poles who escaped Hitler's
net and who today are
ktraining a second army,
navy and air corps in the
stilkfree Dominion of Can
ada, intent on recapturing
their beloved land from
Hitler.
The story of the brave
Dutch who saw the bomb
ing of Rotterdam and who
now, endangering the lives
Of their families in Nazi-
occupied Holland, are build
ing a new army to retake
their country.
Oppression is nothing
new to the sturdy Poles
for some 200 years they
have been battling to pro-
tect a semblance of indie
pepdence-fighting larger,
stronger foes whose greedy
hands reached out to take
away part of their land.

Lick Hitler Soon

It's the Poles who i'm

fought all their lives for
freedom-fought first one
enemy and then another.
Men whose country has
been butchered time and
again.
But these Poles are not
discouraged It they believe
that some day they will be
free-that the day is not
far off. They believe they
will lick Hitler and soon.
There are very few men
in any of the three armies
who are there for adven-
ture. It's vengeance they're
after.

Without q Plane

Here a decorated Polish

Here a Polish ship cap

with only two life boats as

But the Poles need no
huge fleet of tanks or
planes or ships to train
these men. The men will
receive further training in

Only Death Will
Stop These Men

It's not an easy life at
any of these camps--war is
too serious a business for
any levity. Time is too i'm
portant to waste even a
minute In personal enjoy
ment.
The officers at these
camps are no ordinary men.
Ordinary men would have
given up long ago-would
have decided that they had
done enough for their
country.
But these men have no
such feeling. They are
patriots in the finest sense
of the word. They have no
thought of personal COM
fort or safety.
They regard this war as
unfinished business - bust
ness that can only be CON-
pleted by the determination
of Nazi control and the
freedom of their countries.
To them Hitler's con-
quests are personal insults
they are soldiers and
good soldiers are never de-
feated.
Only death will prevent
these men from accomplish
ing their end-there can be
no COMPROMISING peace
until it's one dictated by
them. n
Their time in Canada Is
short for as soon as the
training is completed they
are hurried TO England to
join the forces already
there.

Heavy Damage Caused
By Floods in Kansas

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 6.-Fed by
heavy late summer rains, Kansas
streams were on another rampage
today, flooding farm fields and cities
and causing high property damage.
The Smoky Hill and Solomon
Rivers, which have been out of their
banks all week because of torrential
Labor Day rains, sent their crests
downstream from Salina and Beloit,
the Smoky after breaking through
hastily dikes to inundate
part of the Salina residential area.
Heavy rains Friday night and to-
Nday sent Central Kansas creeks
roaring out of their banks and
threatened serious floods along the
