ENGINEERS PLAY VITAL PART

Although the full story will and must remain shrouded IN
censorship for the duration, people of Montana and neighbor-
ing states will some day learn the vital and admirable part the
corps of engineers of the army is playing in our present mill
tary effort.
An indication was given in a press story this week original
ing in Cody, Wyo, which told of the engineers achievement
in creating a relocation center for 10000 japanese. 1t will be
completed in a week or so, just 60 days after the first nail was
driven.
We well remember some nine years ago soon after the Fort
Peck project was approved when an army engineer talked to
a group of Glasgow men. He told them not to be impatient over
delays, that there might be some bitches in the project but
that it would be built. The Glasgow residents never had cause
to complain. Within a few weeks after his speech, 500 men
were busy on the site. An incidental reflection on the type OF
men in the engineer corps is that that officer, as we'll as many
others intimately associated with the construction OF Fort Peck
DAM now occupies a post of great responsibility in the present
war. But that is a story, too, that cannot be told in full until
hostiEties cease.
Now we find the engineers and their staff at Fort Peck
supervising a military program that makes any construction
season at the dam, great as it is, appear almost puny by con-
trast. We do not pretend to know its full extent but gigantic
would be descriptive. This work has been done while under.
pressure; time is of the essence and supervisory details alone
call for the most efficient sort of organization. AS we observe
evidences of this, it is heartening to the civilian. 1t is encourag-
ing to see that this great branch of our army is playing such
a vital part in our war effort. 1t is a hearenng symbol of the
growing strength of America.

FAITH WILL MOVE MOUNTAINS

He was lean and hard. He wore a privates uniform. We
had seen him board the bus while an admiring group OF ole
friends. his parents and others dear to him had waved a cheer
full goodbye.
He hadn't had much time for his visit, but he was ready
to go back, although a little lonesome. AS we rumbled along
in the Montana twilight, he told us a little about the army
with a quiet assurance, an attitude that is a little apart from
us in another world.
He didn't know what it was, he said, but the army had
changed him a lot. He'd done his share of knocking around IN
an aimless sort of way before he'd got into uniform. HE'D
worked hard, too, but it was nothing like the way he worked
in the army. He didn't say so, but it was apparent from his
talk that he felt himself part of a team, like the fellow who
hasn't been out for practice long on a crack football eleven OF
basketball squad. But he was learning fast, he had a high regard
for his leaders and he knew that some day, the sooner the
better in his opinion, the fundamental he is now learning Will
be put to good use.
To those of us in a little older generation, who remembered
that era of postwar turmoil and establishment after 1913, his
talk was an encouraging revelation. We'd heard a lot about the
army and religion. We asked him about it. Yes, he said, men
who'd never been inside a church very often, now found
something they needed in the army chapel and the chaplain.
He said they weren't softies or sisses, as he obviously wasnt
For himself, his explanation was that he wanted to find out
what it's all about"
AS he talked, we thought of that old Latin copybook MAXIM,
"A sane mind in a sound body" 1t told what the army had
done for this soldier and, if we were any judge, it told a story
for a lot of others; not excited, not full of emotional fervor, but
hardening themselves and learning fast. And above all, with
an abiding faith in the outcome. 1t made us feel just a bit
ashamed of some of the people at home. We said as much, but
he didn't respond. Faith and strength like that will go a long
way. 1t spreads. 1t was heartening to us as we talked. We
will all need more of that soldiers spirit in the months to
come. We can all learn from him.

OUR NEWSPAPER ROLE IN WARTIME

Present war activities in Glasgow have set aloat many
rumors, no doubt some of them exaggerated. In ordinary times
the function of a newspaper would be to present the true story
of developments in a factual statement. But these are not ordi
nary times. Every newspaper in the United States is now
bound to adhere to a code of censorship restrictions. Under
these regulations, no doubt loopholes could be found that would
enable the newspaper to print a partial story of work being
done here. But most newspapers also recognize that they have
the responsibility of a voluntary censorship that goes farther,
so that not only the letter but the spirit of these regulations
is observed. Their prime aim is to withhold all information
that might be an aid or comfort to the enemy. Sometimes it is
difficult to draw the line, hard for a civilian to Judge Just what
comes in this category. The best policy, therefore,
is to "lean backwards" in withholding such news. That is the
policy we intend to follow. 1t is the policy being followed by
Montana newspapers, who nowadays are ignoring what
would normally be spot" stories with front page streamers.

President Philip Murray of the
Congress of Industrial Organiza-

Roosevelt to sponsor pay adjust
ments for Federal workers to meet

He made the request in a letter
to the Chief Executive.
Mr.. Murray pointed out that near
ly so per cent OF the Federal workers
make less than $500 a year and
from 10 to 30 per cent earn less
than $4,000. On the other hand,
he said, statistics show that living
costs have risen from IS to 20 per
cent without corresponding in
creases In salaries.
When you cut these wages by
Is to 20 per cent as the cost of
living has cut them, you have a
situation where many workers can

Commander Broved Fire and Mines
To Pull Alongside Empress Of Asia

The commander brought the
sloop alongside the port quarter and
not only stayed there but made
fast with lines.

deck. The fire was then so fierce
that soldiers and crew forward were
