japanese troops on Bataan were

A war department communique
late yesterday told how the gallant
American-Filipino defenders under

heavy casualties on the enemy. But
it Indicated plainly that the Japa-

down the tempo OF their attacks.
The japanese kept up their
steady dive bombing of Vain

China Sea. They staged series of
light air attacks on Corregidor

The British army is training every
soldier to be as tough and efficient
as the famed commands.
This was disclosed today by the
British press service in an an
that all British SOL

rigorous courses in practical tao
tics al battle schools" set up in
every division.
Pointing out that the program
is designed TO fit the army for
offensive action. the press service
said drill routine has been changed
from the academic business Of
parade marches, presenting arms
and formal salutes TO practical
drill in actual movements required
of men as combat teams" in real

We couldn't personally 20 TO

to our brave men under fire In the

At last we reached q decision.
As you have 30 often advocated
In your column, editorials and
other parts Of your newspapers,
we could launch a strong, cour-
ageous and effective verbal Of
fensive from our very own homes
by demanding, both individually
and as a group, by letter, wire and
penny postal, % our representa-
tives and statesmen-our COM
mentators and columnists--that
peace time politics and useless red
tape be eliminated NOW.
And so the discussion for Vic
tory" Club was formed.
The organization OF the group
was done informally and quickly
at . Dutch treat lunch.
Three officers were nominated
and elected--a chairman, a secre-
tary and a treasurer.
Dues are to be kept as low rs
possible so rs to encourage an
ever Increasing membership-it Ii
to he hoped that twenty-five cents
per month per member will cover
any mailing or telegraphic costs

The name discussion for VIC
tory was quickly decided upon
because II implies just what IL Ii.
First Of all, complete and COM
prehensive discussion IL necessary
before reaching conclusions and
