Better Artillery Use
Urged by Chief Of
Carolina Maneuvers
DowIey AnoIyzes Results
At Meeting Attended
By All Field Officers

NJ tuN A86OElkVe0 EEoses
WITH 9Th ARMY CORPS ON
CAROLINA MANEUvERS, Aug. 8.
AS director Of the Army's wartime
Carolina maneuvers. Maj. Gen. E. j.
Dawley has big Job on his hands.
1t is up to him and his staff from
the 9Th Army Corps to see that the
troops engaged in the various prob
lens carry them through under con-
ditions approximating rs closely as
possible those of actual warfare.
II there is slipshod work in any
part Of the exercise, 1t is his duty
to point that out to the commander
In question and do so sharply enough
for there not to be any repetition.
Similarly he sees to 1t that credit
is distributed wherever 1t Is due.
Gen. Dawley carried out these
duties last night In q critiQue at
tended by all field officers down to
battalion commanders. The press
was not admitted, but was permitted
to say that the general was not
satisfied by any means.
In Army - Years.
The 5e-year-old general, who has
been with or in command Of troops
in the fleld for almost all his 80
Army years, stressed the urgent
need for improved use Of artillery:
. better Capitalization Of forces.
rather than thin dispersal all along
. front; better use OF protective
cover In column movements and
dispersal of vehicles at concentra-
ton points! improved communica- .
tions and liaison, and more Coop
Grafton between air and ground
forces.
Gen. Dawley has the happy facul-
ty Of being able to phrase his re-
marks, oral or written, in language
that Is picturesque. His written In
structions and his extemporaneous
remarks In press conferences are
dotted with such statements ~ ITO
guarantee q successful attack, air
and ground forces must be a. tnti-
mate rs pepper and salt"

has its headquarters at Providence,

of reconnaissance and security.
No Substitute for Practice.
"Cover and concealment-camou-
hage-a weapon seen Is weapon
lost; dead observer gets no in
formation; a dead runner carries no
message.
"Supply-men with bellies with
out beans can carry on for long
while at the expense Of progressive
and ultimate loss OF strength and
power to do but motors without
gas and guns without ammunition
are useless junk"
It Is along similar lines Of en-
phasis on fundamentals that he Is
making the Red and Blue armies
fight their practice warfare. And
when it comes to fundamentals, says
Gen. Dawley. there Is no substa-
tute for practice"

innate need, but too many for the
amount of raw materials at present
available. Faulty control OF inven-
tories and Of flow OF materials has
necessitated some temporary shut
downs. The war production drive Is
taking new turn, emphasizing ma
terials until we get enough Of them
to keep all our factories busy. Mis-
takes made this time were perhaps
unavoidable and will not be made
again, but their consequences will
be with us for some time to come.
And the resolution not to repeat
them must be backed up by An in
tensified effort OF the entire Nation.
Must Work Harder.
Theer Is no doubt that the Amer
lean people mean to win the war;
but there Is doubt that all Of US
realize how hard we are going to
have to work to win 1t. The war is
still = long way of, thanks to our
good luck and the stubbornness OF
our Allies: but 1t may not stay .
long way of unless we work at 1t
harder than We are working now.
Too many people seem to feel that
we are fighting this war out OF a
surplus surplus of resources and
productive capacity. a surplus Of
time. That is not true. We have
plenty of some resources; in others
we are have-not Nation. Some
OF these resources are being sup
piled from abroad, at the peril of
mems lives; for others We must find
or make, substitutes here at home.
We must realize that and put up
with 1t. We should all like to be-
lieve. for instance, that we are going
to have all the rubber we need for
pleasure driving as we'll as for mill
tary and essential civilian use. But
there is no present prospect Of that;
if people eagerly believe everybody
who tells them that there is going tt
be plenty Of rubber, they are only
fooling themselves and helping thu
enemy.
We have great productive capa-
city; but conversion of that plant
from peace time to wartime uses
was a Job that had to be learned
and could not be learned without
making mistakes. We cannot de-
vote that plant primarily to wal
purposes without greater sacrifices
in convenience and comfort thar
we are making now; and 1t must
compete with the productive ca
pacity Of most of Europe, managed
by men who have organized it only
for war purposes. As for time, II
will never be on our side till we use
1t better than the enemy does.
So far, our Allies have done mos
of the fighting; our casualties have
been only about one in 5000 of the
American people. But wars are MOI
won by production alone; they are
won only by fighting battles with
what you produce and winning some
of those battles. 1t Is probable thai
we shall also lose some of them, and
certain that we are not going to wiz
without heavy losses Of men. WI
had better prepare ourselves for that
and learn to take it as our ancestors
took 1t. In a global war we cannot
expect always to win everywhere
we may have to learn to take loca
and temporary defeats as part OF
the price Of ultimate victory. Oul
ancestors could do that; II we CAM
we shall be unable to save the inde-
pendence they won for us.
Our forces are being disposed a

results according to the best pro-

fessional judgment. In the war,
since December 7, no strategical
plan or operation calling for or
using American naval, land or air
forces has been adopted or carried
out, except on the recommendation
and with the approval Of the top
officers of the American Army and
Navy. Popular pressure for action
on this front or that OF the many
possible fronts can serve no useful
purpose. When We cannot be strong
and hit hard everywhere, We must be
able to hit hard where 1t counts
most, even at the price Of leaving
other areas inactive.
We could lose this war. We never
have lost q war, but it has been re-
marked that this means only that
our ancestors never lost 4 war, and
our ancestors were never up against
= war like this. It IL \ war against
men with whom no honorable peace
Is possible; in both Europe and Asia
they were fighting 1t by other means
long before the shooting started, and
their record proves that they would
continue it by other means after the
shooting stops, II they still had the
power. 1t Is 4 total war, in which
defeat by our enemies means de-
struction; the French learned that
there could be no honorable sub
mission to Hitler.
To win q total war We must fight
1t totally, and We are not yet fight
ing It that hard. We are fighting
fanatical men out for world domina-
ton. and We can beat them only II
we want to beat them AZ badly Al
they want to beat us. Many indi-
Wdual Americans have made great
sacrifices, but as a nation We are not
yet more than ankle deep In the war.
We can win 1t, If We realize that win
ming it Is the one vitality important
thing In the world today, but we are
not winning 1t yet. We have done
pretty we'll, but pretty well is not
enough. Nothing will be enough till
we have won.

Americans Serving
With British Seek
To Join A. {. F.
Gen. HartIe Confers
For First Time With
Gen. Franklin
By.RICE YAHNER,


WITH THE UNITED STATES
ARMY IN NORTHERN IRELAND,
Jan. 3l.-Americans already serv-
ing with the British Army in these
embattled islands clamored today
to join the United States expedi-
tionary force which landed IN
Northern Ireland earlier this week.
The Yanks were near the grim
war action that awaits them, for
Royal Air Force fighters chased
away a German bomber on recon-
naissance, possibly seeking to esti-
mate the American strength. Bull
lets whizzed into the rear turret OF
the Nazi craft, silencing its fire.
A thick cloud bank saved the Ger
man from destruction.
Mai. Gen. Russell P. Hartle, COM
mander of the first A. E. F. troops,
said he had received letters from
Americans serving in various parts
of Britain seeking to join the ranks
of their countrymen.
Arrangements have not yet been
completed here to effect the trans
fers.
Some women, who were nurses in
the First World War and who have
been in Europe, also were offering
their services.
Gen. Hartle conferred for the
first time today with 1t. Gen. H.
E. Franklin, commander Of Brit
ish forces In the North Ireland De-
partment, on integration of the
American and British forces.
Gen. Franklin is widely known
as the director of the Franklin
counterattacks" in the British re-
treat from Dunkerque.
Scores of greetings and we'll
wishes have been received by the
commander from all over the Brit
ish Isles. All extended a warm well
come to the men and women oc-
cupied on the American war effort.
Invitations to entertain the dough-
boys have been profuse.
Many Of the letters have sought
word OF possible relatives among
the first contingent Of American
troops.

Rios Election Favored
By u. S. Government

The United States Government Is
hoping that Chile will elect Juan
Antonio Rios its new President.
The State Department and the
White House, following the good
neighbor policy which forbids inter-
ference in the domestic political af-
fairs of the other American re-
publics, have kept silent on this
election.
However, it has been learned that
the favored candidate is Rios, be-
cause it Is felt that his presence in
the highest of1lce in Chile will
facilitate the course Of the hemis-
pheric solidarity during the war.
A report was sent to the United
States that followers of Gen. Ibanez
del Campo are claiming official
American support for his candidacy.
The American Government refused
to refute this claim, but it has no
foundation.
The election of Rios, it is said,
would be regarded as favorable not
only for hemisphere solidarity but
for the establishment of Chile as
a firm voice in inter-American af-
fairs. Internal political dissension
has reduced the authority of Chile
internationally in recent years.

o.P.A. Tells How
To Have Sweets,
Yet Save Sugar
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Once Of Price Administra-
ton, saying that sugar rationing
would work no hardship at all II
consumers substituted fruits and
natural sweets, offered this advice
yesterday:
Try less sugar in your coffee and
tea. Many people prefer these bev-
erages without any sugar. In any
case, stir up well the sugar you use
In coffee and tea. Sugar doesn't
sweeten your drink II you leave 1t
unstirred at the bottom Of the cup.
Make fewer desserts that require
sweetening with sugar. Fresh fruit
salad is one dessert that has plenty
of natural sugar.
Dried fruits such as raisins.
dates, figs. prunes. peaches, apricots
and others are rich In sugar and
should be eaten with breakfast
cereal, in desserts and in place Of
candy, to save sugar.
Fresh fruits are rich in sugar
content and should be used ex-
tensively.
"The candy, ice cream, chewing
gum and soda you have during the
day all contain sugar. II you use
much of them. the sweetening In
them gives you energy and you
don't need so much sugar with your
foods"

of American solidarity and COL
