He slugged it out unto the end
This slam-bang fighting man
A knock em-downer from way back
Was Dan j. Callaghan!
There in the black and bloody night
He helped to blast the foe;
An admiral all-out to win
Who died in doing so!
III.
The Jap armada on the hunt,
Outnumbering our force,
Came out to strike telling blow
with sneaky ways, of course);
It had, by all the laws of weight,
A prospect more than fair
For victory except that men
Like Callaghan were there!
iii.
Bill Halsey was the battle chief
Another scrappy Celt;
Two Irishmen were tOpside there,
AS soon the Charles felt;
The Japs were physically strong
But mentally not sharp
They should have known no Nip

Could ever trim a "harp."

The foe bore down from Bougain-
vile
Our lesser force to pin:
It met Halsey and Callaghan
And soon bore back agin.

lads
Were never in one fleet

Got word "Turn on the heat!"

The foes cry "On to victory!"
Soon changed to "Who threw

Their lines in nothing fat;
They thought all hell had broken

And saw new type war

A few swings from the floor.

Were panicked to point where

Were blasting their own ships!

They'd looked for that "one-ocean"

And how were they to know
One-ocean fleets were plenty with
Two Celts to run the show?
But well they know about it now
And-mark this well, Japan:
Our Navy has a new job now

Oh, there were other heroes there
None more than Callaghan
Would understate what he had done

But no ones place in history
Can be much more secure
For he died on the fighting bridge

Washington, d. c.
QUIET CONFIDENCE

It brought no headlines, but Chief
of Staff General Marshall made the
first step toward better cooperation
between Capitol Hill and the Execu-
tive Branch of the government by.
holding a quiet conference with key
senators and representatives.
He gave them an intimate, and,
on the whole optimistic, progress re-
port on the war, which left good
impression with congressional Lead
ers. Both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis were present, most OF them
from the military affairs commit
tees, and also the vice president,
the speakers and other leaders.
General Marshall gave the actual
figures on American losses In North
Africa. These must remain con-
fidential, but they were encouraging
ly small. He explained that one rea-
son for the light casualties was Gen.
eral Eisenhower's peace arrange
ment with Admiral Darlan.
General Marshall attached great
Importance to this, since the army,
navy and civilian population in North
Africa were under the influence OF
Admiral Darlan. Therefore he sug-
gested to congress that it would be
very helpful if there were no crit
ical speeches of the admiral despite
his Vichy connections.
Admiral Darlan had come to visit
his son who was stricken with in
fantile paralysis, General Marshall
said, then had returned to France.
But when his son suffered relapse,
Darlan came back to North Africa.
Thus it was pure accident, but a
very fortunate one, that he was in
Algiers at the time. Darlan had
given the order Immediately which
resulted in the saving of many
American lives.
General Marshall also paid high
tribute to Robert Murphy, the state
departments charge d'affaires in
France, who spent most of his time
in North Africa. 1t was Murphy who
mapped out most of the advance
political plans of the U. S. army.
General Marshall was also opti.
mistic regarding the amount of Naz
strength being diverted from the
Russian front, especially airpower
He felt that Hitler would have tt
take more and more planes away
from Russia to protect Italy, now
considered the soft spot of the Axis
and that Hitler could not lick Russis
without airpower.
Another optimistic part of the wal
picture, the chief of staff said, wa:
New Guinea, where he expects some
real Allied progress against the Jap!
at Buna.
Note: Secretary of the Navy Kno1
is now following Marshall's cue ant
has invited members of the senat'
and house naval affairs committee
to have dinner with him some eve
ming soon. AS a result of the elec
tions, it looks as if the executive
branches of the government hat
awakened to the fact that there wa

Proper Care of Greenery Today

But most people take out the green,
including the Christmas decoration,

1t has been asked by some, though,

Indians Brewed Drink
From Southern Holly

Making Christmas decorations is
only one of several roles played by
the familiar southern holly.
Long before the plant was used by
white settlers, Indians of North Car
olina stewed the "yaupon" as 1t
was called, to make drink. They
drank this before going into battle
and also at some tribal feasts. 1t
was also taken for certain physical
ailments.
The plant also serves as food for
cattle who like to eat the tender
leaves and branches.
Holly is even being used for orna-
mental hedges. Landscape garden
ers frequently plant 1t on lawns and
in fence corners. 1t can be made to
present to the eye an almost plane
surface.
