BY SILER FREEMAN

Here's a tip on conserving
your antifreeze: Don't let q

the radiator cap on your car
until he is certain there Is no
steam pressure gathered TO blow
out the cooling liquid.

cautions and they cost him much

Eshbaugh cautioned, lone should
always mako sure the radiator
isn't steaming. Otherwise . con-

SOMEWHERE IN AUSTRALIA.
Sept. s.-Gen. Douglas Macarthur
told United States troops in the
field today that all he asked of
them in action was that they kill
one japanese apiece.
/ The general talked at length to
officers on the fighting qualities of
the enemy they will meet eventually
and counselled them to remember
Napoleon's admonition that a soldier
must never surrender except when
he is unable to deliver any stroke
against his enemy.
AS long as he had power to injure
his enemy, even though he knew he
was going to be defeated or de-
stroyed locally, he must strike. Gen.
Macarthur said, because in that
way he helped his comrades on
some other front.
Gen. Macarthur described the
japanese soldier as a hard fighter
who fought courageously and tntelli-

Japanese tactics. he said, were to
disperse along their enemy's lines
rapidly in groups of never more
thans1 900. often half that number,
keep pushing in until they found
the enemy and then hit him.
He called the Japanese the great
est exploiters of inefficient. incom-
petent troops the world has ever
seen. When the japanese met such
troops nothing could stop them, the
general said, but good troops could.
He advised the Americans never
to let the Japanese attack them, but
to make it fundamental, whatever
their position might be, to be pre-
pared to attack

wavering in her flight, 1t. Sconiers
found the co-pilot killed by can
