Charge of Carelessness Spiked

The late James ]. Hill was inspect
ing his railroad with an imposing
group of officers. At Minot, N. d., the
party walked down the ties on a sec

First came Mr.. Hill, then the vice
president, the general superintendent,
and so on down to the roadmaster,
and finally Mike Cassidy, the section
boss.
Mr.. Hill picked a brand new spike
out of the gravel, and as he handed
it back to the vice-president, he re-
marked that this was a case of care

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

News from the former transport
workers organization in Norway is
most encouraging, the International
Transport Workers Federation says.
An underground news service has been
organized and is widely distributed.
Foreign news broadcasts heard with
concealed receiving sets are circulated
by means of mimeographed letters.
Distribution is relatively easy since
the overwhelming majority of the Nor
wegian people sympathize with the
opposition.
German agents and Norwegian Quis-
ling stormtroopers usually hide near
the post offices watching for persons
who mail large numbers of envelopes
Serious street brawls often result in
which the Nazi agents usually get a
good beating.
Two hundred and thirty acts of
transportation sabotage have occurred
in France during the past six months.
Over 500 arrests are reported each
week from Paris alone, with many of
the arrested never heard from again.
Similar conditions prevail in Holland
and Belgium where the resistance of
the people is slowly creating an un-
bearable situation for the occupation
authorities and their forces.
The British government is renewing
its efforts to obtain whole time and
part-time workers among women with
home ties in order to fill gaps in war
plants created by the removal of mo
biles"-women who may be shifted
from plant to plant according to need.
time women workers are sue
cessfully employed in engineering and
other plants. The married woman with
family responsibilities is still the
greatest potential labor source, the
British report states.

watched them in the Solomons,
where they were losing
Most armies naturally look better
in winning than in losing. But the
Japs never look good
Physically they are unimpressive.
Their pants bag at the seats, their
leggings are carelessly wound, their
shoes run down at the heel. their
rifles are battered and unpublished
and their equipment with some ex-
ceptions. seems poorly made.
Many are small and apparently
weak. In the Philippines some 90
per cent of the prisoners were
chronically diseased. This run
down appearance sometimes leads
to Understanding them as enemies.
But their appearance bellies their
Spartan training and toughening
program which gives them tremen-
dous endurance Excepting the
Chinese. they probably can fight with
fewer comforts, with less food and
! endure greater hardships without
complaining than any other soldier
in the world.
One of their proudest campaigns,
which they believe should rank high
in world military annals. was their
drive into Southwestern Shansi
Province in China early in 1898. In
II days they rode, walked and
climbed from Taiyuanfu across
range after range of rugged noun
tains and broke out onto the south
ern plains to capture their objective.
Campaigns like that gave them
invaluable experience for bigger
campaigns that they had been plan
ming for years. And therein lies one
reason for Japan's successes. To
know where you're going, and why,
Is tremendous advantage.
But. in estimating the strength of
the Japanese enemy, it is necessary
to recall that in only a few cases
have the Japanese been forced to
fight on equal terms and every time
they have been defeated

visions in 1887 to stall the japanese
for three months. the japanese were
badly defeated; also by the Soviet
Far Eastern Army at Changkufeng
In 1888 and again at Nomonhan in
1910.
American Casualties Smaller.
Nomonhan especially was ex-
tremely costly but the japanese
generals probably considered the
price worth the lessons learned in
the use of tanks and airplanes in
determining the strength of the
Russians.
The japanese also lost the first
phase of the battle of Bataan, ex-
tending from early January TO early
February when MacArthur's artil-
lery and machine guns stopped
them cold and smashed the original
force they had landed on Luzon.
And, of course. more recently the
japanese were cut to pieces by the
United States Marines in the Solo
mons. Casualties may give some line
respecting the fighting ability OF
American and Japanese troops.

BY CLARK LEE,
NIridn lNnrld

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30.--It
Is difficult to generalize about the
fighting qualities of Japan's soldiers,
Many of them are imbued with a
fanaticism that makes them fight
on even when there's no hope of
winning. Japanese seldom surren-
der.
This might appear to be supreme
courage on the part Of the Japa-
nese, but it really is courage mixed
with fear. They have been told, and
most of them believe. that they will
be tortured, then killed if captured
by Americans.
Therefore to die fighting is, in
their minds, less terrifying than
surrender.
Once captured they readily admit
they are glad to be alive and don't
regret their failure to die a hero's
death. This is true even though
a soldier who surrenders can never
tached to being taken prisoner un-
doubtedly is firmly implanted in the
minds of the Japanese people and
disgrace brought on a prisoners S
family makes it impossible to return
the homeland.
Many Commit Suicide.
Nevertheless, there's reason TO be-
lieve Japanese soldiers have dis
cussed among themselves the posi-
bility of being captured, Prisoners
captured in widely separated areas
of the Philippines all expressed the
same hope that the Americans
would "let us live on some South
Seas island after the war"
Many times the Japanese, espe-
cially officers. commit suicide rather
than surrender or continue to fight
under heavy fire.
For instance, on Bataan some 500
Japanese landed on Mariveles point
behind Gen. Douglas MacArthur's
front line within range of Corregi-
doris 12-inch mortars. When our
artillerymen. pin-pointed their po-
sitions and dropped big shells among
them IS committed suicide by leap
ing from a 100-foot cliff to the rocks
below.
Some who survived the leap said
It was their first experience under
artillery fire and they couldn't stand
the terrible strain.
Moreover, whatever it is that i'm
pels them, the japanese are dan
gerous enemy, and fighting them
Is costly. A hundred Americans

On the committee are Aldermen
Patrick Shea, Democratic majority

A special meeting Of the board OF

at least a blackout ordinance, Mr.
Walker asserted today.
Waterbury is tagging in this
matter" he said. 1--WE have no Legal
means Of enforcing any blackout
regulations isued by our civilian de-
Tense authorities. We need imme-

We need other defense ordinan-
ces but blackout ordinance is an
immediate necessity" said Alder
man Walker.
e, Il Is understood that action on O
