WAR rs DIFFERENT
THAN LAST CONFLICT

AMERICAS problems In World
War were much different than those
confronting us in this conflict. Then
we had an enemy on one battle line
In Europe. To be sure, IL stretched
from the Atlantic through to the
Black sea, but we had allies who had
been holding that line and who Of
fered us landing places for troops.
We had war on one ocean only,
the Atlantic. German subs and Ger
man raiders were fairly numerous,
but we had the navies Of France,
England and Italy to join with our
own. Today we are fighting on the
seven seas of the world. We have
only the navy Of England and the
limited number and size Of ships
of the Dutch in the East Indies and
those Of Australia. We have no
landing places in continental Europe
or in the Far East where we can
place an army.
World War I was not an "all-out"
war so far as America was con-
cerned. We did not become the ''ar-
senal of Democracy" We were the
breadbasket of the Allies. While
we supplied food, England supplied
us with ships. France supplied us
with artillery, for which England
supplied the ammunition. American
pilots flew French and English
planes. We had no tanks.
World War I was a conflict Of
men. This is conflict of machines.
At the end of 10 months in 1918, we
had an army of some three million
men in France, and practically no
American-made machines. In this
war at the end Of four months, we
are supplying the machinery Of war
to all of the Allied nations.

INCOME TAXES
AND BATTLE FRONTS


THE FACT THAT ~ million
Americans planked down their
money to pay their income tax with
out any perceptib1e murmur Of
complaint is the best evidence of
any lack of enthusiasm for the prose-
cution of the war in which we are
engaged. People win back the gov
eminent to the about limit. The
one place where war apathy Is
found is in the halls of congress.
A large majority Of the men who
represent us in our legislative bodies
are evidently thinking more Of win
ming votes than Of winning the war.
The rank and file Of American labor
is willing to work 48 or 60 hours
week if that be needed to supply
tanks, ships, guns and airplanes.
American farmers and American in
dustry win cheerfully sacrifice war
profits that our freedom and liber-
ties may be preserved. The coterie
of minority lobbyists at Washington
does not represent anything other
than themselves. Our law makers
may discover that at the next cleo
ton.

 Food in Dover is surprisingly good in quality and quantity. You can get a luncheon of soup, roast beef, po- tatoes, two other vegetables, pudding and coffee. It's well-prepared and better than you get in London at double the price. You eat 1t in a below-street-level tearoom sand bagged and reinforced by steel.
 There is not shortage of cigarettes and liquor. In the railroad station pub, a liquor license unique in Eng land continues in force. A holdover from the peace days when France bound English people waited for the steamer to Calais, it still is possible to buy spirits at any hour of the day or night.
 GERMANS DON'T
 INTERRUPT SERVICE
 When bombs or shells blast Dover on Sunday, the priest of the beau- tiful church, which is nearly 1000 years old, never stops service until the end has been reached.
 Then soberly, the congregation leaves and goes home, slowly, un- hurried unmoved. They walk through the center of town in their Sunday best. There are the Mayor and his daughter and the store. keepers and their families.
 They stop in the village center tc listen to a Salvation Army banc conduct its services, opposite bank grocery store, hotel, pub and churct which have been smashed to the ground during previous attacks.
 Today, shells land with regularity Out in the harbor, water SpoutS up when one lands short. Up on the hillside dirt flies high when one overshoots the town.
 At the foot of hill a man spades his garden, cultivates his small patch of carrots, onions, potatoes and cabbage.
 He looks up briefly, whenever 6 shell lands on the hillside above and dirt comes trickling down the sharr slopes. A salvo of four guns is fired by the Germans. One shell lands in Dover itself, the other three explode on the hillside above. The man rubs his chin, as he marks the burst. | He starts to dig another row.

 British gunners in the Castle fortress and along the hillside are on the alert too, as they scan the German coastline and try guessing from the flashes where shells will land.
 In Dover there is no excitement. Attack by shell and bomb has been too frequent. Those who have stuck 1t out dislike the appellation, brave little people of Dover" They say simply, This is our home, no Jerry is going to uproot us."

Today he is surviving the war by showing the energy and resource fulneSs for which American busi- ness and industry long have been famous.
 How did he do it?
 Explains Formula
 Kenneth B. Elliott, vice. -presi- dent in charge of sales for Stude- baker Corp. and one of the automo- tive industry's top executives who foresaw the plight of the dealer, explained the formula that saved the vast majority of his dealers from financial ruin.
 It provided: CD Slashing over- head to handle a smaller volume of business; CD building up service business to a point where it pays virtually all of his fixed expenses; (3 placing the dealers business under sound accounting policies: (D acquiring profitable sidelines, including war production contracts wherever a dealer was equipped to do the work.
 By following such a program dealers not only have been able to stay in business but many of them have made even more money than during the bumper new car year of i94I.
 During the early months of this year" Elliott said, many dealers were anxious to dispose Of their cars and get out from under In- stead of offering to buy back a dealers car, we urged him to retain them with the thought that eyen- tualiy he would realize a profit o, their sale"
 Only IS Per Cent Close By keeping their cars and selling them at profit dealers were able to make an orderly read justment to wartime conditions without suf- ferIng serious financial losses. Ac- cording to Elliott. only about IS per cent of Studebaker's dealers. most Of them so-ealled marginal dealers" who sold only a few new cars annually. have closed their doors. This percentage Of failures or voluntary withdrawals from business has been fairly typical Of dealer organizations throughout the |country.

WOMEN SHOW WIDE ABILITY IN
 SHEPPARD JOBS

Washington, Oct. 21 (UP)--Newly admitted to the shipbuilding indus try, women are qualifying as riveters welders and machine tool operators according to Mary Anderson, chief of the Department of Labor's wom- ems bureau.
 Miss Anderson recently visited the Kaiser Shipyards at Richmond, Cal, where 900 women were then employed.
 "They had just sent out a call for POO more women to take over mems jobs before I left, she re- ported.
 "Catch On" Quickly
 Employers frequently express sur prise to her that women catch on "so quickly, Miss Anderson said, citing the case of a woman who had become a foreman after working at the Richmond yards only short time.
 Another woman, a lathe opera tor, is on the shop grievance com mittee.
 Thus far, Miss Anderson said. women have not been employed to any great extent on night shifts but probably will be later on.
 Most women workers, Miss An derson said, are between 25 and 40 and are strong enough to stand fatiguing work. They work in slacks. Few young girls are employed.
 Join BOilermakerS' Union
 Miss Anderson said she believed it would be only matter of months until women are employed in every industry in some capacity. She add ed that women are being accepted as members of labor union. The boilermakers' union recently start ed enrolling women members.
 Miss Anderson said women are doing all kinds of work in the lum- Der camps of the northeast.
 "They do everything but ueel the logs" she said.
 Women also work in the copper mines of Arizona, Miss Anderson said, and "they are doing grand job."

The shell took 60 seconds to reach Dover. During those sixty seconds, as the priest slowly read passages from the Bible, you knew a shell was approaching. It was quiet inside the church, but outside gulls had suddenly become raucous. They al- ways do when disturbed by the boom of gun firing from the other side of the Channel.
 WARDENS ON CLIFF

 Like rushing wind getting louder, the shell approaches. It lands with an enormous crUmp, a block up the street and, you know a small house or store has been demolished.

ALLEGED EvADER HEAVILY FINED
Accused Operator Denies Being Responsible for
 Auto Collision

Charged with evading responsi- bility after his car hit another auto- mobile at Grand and Bank streets yesterday afternoon, John Cichon, 54, of 29 Goss street, was fined $50 and costs by Judge Theobald E. Con- way in municipal court today. The court remitted $25 of the fine.
 Al9x F. Besancon, of 95 Beecher avenue, said that Cichons car side swiped his while he was waiting for the light to change at the intersec- ton. When Cichon failed to halt, he said, he followed him and put his hand on the wheel of Cichon's car to stop him. Instead. he said, Cichon drove away. Besancon tes- tified that he reported the marker numbers of the car to police head quarters, this leading to the arrest of the accused by Motor Patrolman John walsh.
 Cichon denied any knowledge of the accident. He denied that he had seen Besnancon or that the latter had put his hand on the wheel of his car. The first he knew of any accident, he said, was when the motor patrolman came to his home to arrest him.

job of advising dealers on proced- ure for obtaining war contracts. h. cidentally, one of every five Stude- baker dealers who expressed an in- terest in doing war work already is in production on war material, chiefly marchining of small pieces on a sub-contract basis. Many others are acquiring facilities and seeking government contracts.
 Elliott feels his firms dealer-aid program not only is a practical method of bOlStering small busi- ness during the emergency but also what he termed ''an effective med- ium through which to maintain the essential transportation of cars and trucks in wartime"
