Some of the sets are no place for

make big attack.
The British air forces, however,
we're on 24-hour-a-day offensive
maintaining a pace never approach
ed in previous Africa battles.
In two of scores of attacks over
the week end, Allied medium bomb
ers raided the enemy Tobruk base
on the Libya coast Saturday night
and heavy bombers (which may have
included American Army Air Corps
planes) raided Benghazi, chief enc

British Beaufort fighters, some of

The same fighters also shot down
three of force of between 20 and
30 troop carrying Junker-52 planes
and damaged several more which
were seen fleeing out over the Med

These planes were believed to be
bringing reinforcements to the Ger

heard the blast of sub-machine

Chinese Recapture

CHUNGKING, July 13. CUP)-
Chinese forces recaptured Futou is
land near the mouth of the Min
river two days after it had fallen
into Japanese hands, and have
slowed up the Japanese drive to cap
ture the coast towns of Foochow
and Wenchow at least temporarily,
q communique said today.
The Japanese seized the island
July 9. the same day they landed
forces on the Chekiang coast, near
Wenchow. In recapturing the island
July IL the Chinese inflicted 300
casualties on the enemy, most of
them during the desperate hand-to-
hand fighting.
The capture of Wenchow and
Foochow would deprive China of its
best seaports. The japanese claimed
yesterday to have occupied both
cities. But general headquarters did
not confirm the report.
Japanese troops advanced on Wen
chow from Lishui and Thursday
seized the town of Tsingtien. about
25 miles up the WI river from
Wenchow. A naval force of rs or
80 warshipS probably gunboats-
also attacked JUAN, about 10 miles
south of Wenchow along the coast.

The Imperials were striking at the

several tanks to the Imperials in
these local attacks which were sup

ROMMEL SET BACK
If the Germans had intended to
renew their drive for Alexandria
and the Nile, it was clear they had
received a setback.
ROMMEL threw strong airplane
reinforcements into the battle area
without seriously challenging the
supremacy which the Royal and
South African air forces had won.
There were reports here that
Benito Mussolini personally was in
the desert. Imperial army head
quarters had no information.
However, it was suggested that
either the leader of the southern
end of the Axis might have come
over to Africa some time ago, hop
ing to lead the Axis into Alexandria
or that he might have arrived in

The Royal air force is hammering
Axis desert positions day and night
but there are some pilots who never
seem to get in enough shots at the
enemy.

fellow who outside of his regular
duties loaded up an old open cock
pit job with bombs and went on
private raid of his own.
The pilot. who formerly flew with
the formation attached to the air
craft carrier Illustrious, gave me a
short flight from one town to an
other, and when we landed told me
how he had used the old biplane to
give the Nazis a few extra licks.
He and his observer loaded four
250-pound bombs into it along with
cases of smaller mills bombs and
flew out to see what targets they
could find.
PLANE sNORTING
1T really wasn't a bad show"
he said. I'VE must have destroyed
at least three or four planes with
two bombs at the Fuka airport. The
old plane was snorting and wheez-
ing and throwing oil under the
heavy load, and we had quite a
time dodging the flax after we drop
ped couple of flares and circled
the field looking for targets"
The pilot said the two bombs
fell right in the center of what
appeared to be five Messerschmitt
planes.
Then we pulled out and found
lot of motor transports which we
bombed with equally good results
md later, flying low over the desert
we dropped our mills bombs in
sticks Of five or six at a time on
enemy columns"

A Resolution For
The New Year
BY RUTH TAYLOR

"Resolved: To live with all my
might while l do live"
Such resolution is worthy Of the
keeping, for it calls for the best that
each and every one Of US has to give.
Granted that this is going to be a
tough year. Granted that we will have
to buckle down to harder tasks and
longer hours and to more restricted
manner Of living. Granted that we are
going to have to put that last extra
ounce of energy back Of our work.
Granted all that-but still we can face
the New Year with courage and reso-
luton. We're alive, aren't we? And
still free! And we're going to stay so!
Phillips Brooks once wrote "Do not
pray for easy lives. Pray to be
stronger men. Do not pray for tasks
equal to your powers. Pray for pow
ers equal to your tasks. Then the do
ing Of your work shall be no miracle,
but you shall be miracle"
That is what we need to do this
coming year--to rise to the demands
that will be made upon us-not to
translate those demands into what we
want to do. Most of US can do a lot
more than we are doing-most Of US
can give lot more than we are Civ
ing-in our homes, our unions, our
communities, our nation. We must
live with all our might today when
the fight for right is at our very door
steps.
1t isn't particularly important what
happens to us as individuals if we
stand firm ready to fight or to die for
those things which we know to be just
and right. But it is important what
we ourselves are. If we shirk on the
! job, if we fail to cooperate, if we
grouse about hardships, or if we don't
lift our end of the load, we are not
only hurting others, we are hurting
ourselves-and we are not living with
all our might. We aren't doing the
best of which we are capable.
Let's make a new resolve this New
Year. Let's make this world a better
place just because we are in it. Let's
work to the best Of our ability and
then do a lot more. This is our world
and it will be just what we-you
and | and our neighbors in shop OF
office or home-make of it. Let's live
with all our might, carefully dis
tinguishing the false issues from the
real, while we strive with every eff
fort to do and preserve what we know
to be the right.
