Keep that flag up there until

Macarthur is every inch a soldier
a hell 4to- breakfast soldier, and
he loves the art of war"
IAPED IN SOCIETY
He has his enemies who will say
that he has been a society sold
ier." They will point out that his
first wife was Louise Cromwell
sister of James H. R. Cromwell and
stepdaughter of multi-millionaire
Edward T Stotesbury.
He belonged to the "horsy" set
hercabouts, he wore his brassed hat
at an unmilitary rakish angle; he
liked to wear his ribbons and dis
play his IS or so decorations; even
wore plum -colOrcd ties with his
khaki shirt.
The men who got shot with him
in France say.
Doug" is no martinez; he is
handsome, trnE, we'll set up leonine
but he doesn't impose his standards
Oh anyone else; he remembers his
juniors names, and when he says
Glad to see you" he means it.
No one doubts that Macarthur
will do his part to keep the flag
flying in steamy, beleaguered Lu-
zon. half a world away.

Hitler Says England Is Doomed

Hitler Says England Is Doomed
The mailman of Berlin read
Roosevelt's latest speech and
took time out to say it did not
matter now what we did for
England for that nation was
doomed to destruction However,
the English seem to have other
ideas and are audaciously laying
plans for an invasion of Hitler's
territory in the future. Already
small-scale raids on occupied
France have been carried out.
The English have stood up under
bombings that were expected to
bring quick surrender, and there
is no weapon Hitler can use
but real invasion. Even at the
fall of France when Hitler was
flushed with victory his corps
officers advised against an i'm
mediate invasion as an under
taking likely to cost two hundred
thousand German lives. Today,
months later, the English have
made preparations and say that
an invasion try now would be
suicide. Anyway, Hitler has not
tried it since small expedition
was blasted out of the water
near Calais before it even start
ed.
The war has settled down to a
starving match. England has
a much better chance of winning
that kind of a war, for she has
practically all the world outside

draw upon, while the Germans
are penned up by the British
navy Hitler realizes this anC
is counting on one supreme try
