He Knows the Japs

The recent speech of Joseph c. Grew, who has just returned to the United States after ably serving for many years as ambassador to Japan the kind that ought to do to jolt Americans out of their placency than the talks that have been delivered by other members of the Administration whose know ledge of the countries our enemies was acquired during brisk 0day of elegant hotel lObbles bars and golf courses.
 Grew probably knows the Japanese as well as any white man expect to understand the treacherous rascals. Unlike the many ambassadors and ministers who are given diplomatic posts as rewards for contrib utng to political slush funds Grew worked at his job studying and trying to solve problems endeavorng to learn something of the ways of the people to whom he had been sent.
 In his speech Grew described the Japs as sWashbuck lers, and he issued solemn warning that they will fight with all the force and power at their command until they utterly crushed.' He further warned that all Americans must make every sacrifice asked of them if staemate is to be prevented in this war and he confirmed the stories of unspeakable atrocities mitted by the Japs as told by other Americans who have returned from Tokyo.
 Said Grew of the Japs: "They have put great store in what they consider to be the white mans fabbiness They look upon Americans constitutional weak lngs demanding our daily comforts and unwilling to make the sacrifices demanded for victory in war against military machine which has prepared and trained itself in Spartan simplicity and the hardness and toughnesS demanded by war
 They attach great importance to the former disunty III tie OuteQ oIdIeS over the war issue, ana tfeV St count on an apprecable interval before aroused na- ton can find itself and develop fighting spirit of it's own By that time, they feel Japan will be in complete control of all East Asia
 Grew also warned that if Americans think I've can continue to lead normal lives leaving the spirit of sesacrltce to soldiers and salors letting the in- tenSfcation of production program take care of it. sef we shall unquesonably risk the danger of stale mate in this war of ours with Japan"

Army, Navy Spring One
 On Nippons

Seattle, Sept. - Routine habits of the crews of a couple of Japanese 4-motor ed bombers led them to de- struction in a carefully pre- pared trap set by United States Army and Navy fliers.
 This is the story told by a group of Naval officers here on leave from the Aleutian battlefront.
 The study of the enemy fiiers' habits convinced the leaders of the American group that the big Jap planes would be at a cer- tain place at a certain time.
 Lieut.. w. N. Thies, 25, of Washington, D C., pilot of a Navy Catalina flying boat related that Army and Navy flyers got together and two Army fighters, es corted by a flying fortress hid in the region were the Jap bombers were expect ed.
 A tender was sent ahead to act as a target.

 Japan Singh reports, has made great headway in India with propaganda deridng Churchill-Roosevelt l four freedomS.' Japan has ceVerly harped on the theme that the four freedoms only for white men in Anglo-Brtsh minds and that India will never be freed by Britain.

The cobber, the peasant, the little shopkeeper - they do not see how fatal Jap victory would be, J Singh says passionately "They only that another hope of independence is smashed. So they say Why fight for freedom we haven't got? Jailng of Gandh and Nehru plays into the Jap's hands, Singh contends and they are the only Indian leaders who could counteract the Jap propaganda but they can't do it from jail Singh explained that Gandh Nehru demands on Britain not as blackmal but as more forced by the Indian masses. Jap agents would have claimed they selling out to the British had they not demanded immediate action.
 Singh bitterly assais any suggestion that Gandh and Nehru are pro-AXis. They are involaby demo- cratic, he says and points to Nehrus record as the

WILD PETER

THERE are records of other cases of boys and
Il girls who have been rescued from wild
state but did not show nearly so much recovery to
normal mentality. Probably they suffered from
some natural defects which, together with their
deprivation of human society," prevented their
recovery.
Probably the most famous of these is Wild
Peter of Hameln (Hanover). He attracted great
attention because his guardian was the first Han
overan King of England George l, also King of
Hanover, where Wild Peter had been rescued.
Great mobiles and philosophers We'd with each
other in an effort to study Wild Peter by becom-
ing his guardian. This responsibility was as
sumed by the Princess of Wales, later Queen Car
olne. The great English court painters did Wild
Peters portrait, which gives no appearance of be-
ing painted of natural idiot
The early anthropologst, ]. b. Blumenbach,
shows that Wild Peter was defective in speech and
probably other ways He had been driven away

THE WILD GIRL OF CRANENBURG

N ETAILS of a similar case which occurred
- near Cranenburg Holland, in IT'S, are given
in German scientific book by A. Rauber After
repeated attempts, the peasants Of the vicinity
succeeded in capturing wild girl OF eighteen
with nets.
She was almost naked when taken but trace
of human memory seems to have been preserved
in her to cause her to little apron of straw.
Her skin was rough and hard from exposure as
well as dark
She had lived on herbs and tree-eaves but did
not kill animals the wild girl of Songi did She
had also drunk the milk which the peasants had
left in their efforts to catch her
She was very monstrous in looks according to
Raubers account, and had long thick hair on her
head which looked like bundle Of straw. One
could that it had never been cOmbed. When
her hair was cut she looked so differently that
many persons who had seen her at her capture
said that she was not the same girl.
Investigations made at the time indicate that
the girl had been kidnapped on May s. 100 when
she was only IS months old. Warnings had been
published in the Antwerp newspapers on May IA
of that year asking for information about the baby,
Nothing was heard of her until she was captured
in 171S.
1t was also reported that the mother of the lost
child was found. When she heard of the rescue,
which caused great sensation, the mother came
from Antwerp to Zwoe, where the girl had been
taken and placed in charge Of the magistrate. Be
cause of certain marks the child the mother
recognized this girl as her lost daughter.
The details of this dramatic meeting given
by German periodical of the time which states:
THE mother reached Zwole and went TO a friend
who ordered the wild girl to come and her
mother.
after the mother saw the child she swooned
and had to be revived. After she recovered, she
said, This is my child At the same time great

from home by cruel stepmother to survive for a
year in the woods
Though he lived to be 81 years old, defect in
his speech prevented him from speaking more
than a couple of unintelligible syllables.
The best account of Wild Peter was published
in 1911 by Blumenbach, who describes his discov-
cry as follows;
harvest, Jurgen Meyer, townsnan of Hameln
met, by stie in his field not far from Hepensen
with naked, brownish black-haired creature, who
was running up and down, and about the size
OF boy of twelve years old. 1t uttered no human
sound, but was happily enticed by its astonshed
discoverer showing it two apples in his hand, into
the town, and entrapped within the Bridge-gate
There it was at first received by a mob of
street boys but was very soon afterwards placed
for safe custody in the Hospital of the Holy Ghost
by order of the Burgomaster SEVERN.
"Peter-that the given him on his
first appearance in Hameln by the street boys, and
he retained it up to quite old age-Peter showed
himself rather british in the first weeks of his
captivity; seeking to get out at doors and win
dows, resting now and then upon his knees and ell
bows and rolling himself from side to side in his
straw bed until he fell asleep.
HE did not like bread at first but eagerly
peeled green sticks, and chewed the peel for the
juice, he also did vegetables, grass and beam
shells BY degrees he grew tanner and cleaner, so
he was allowed to go about the town and pay
visits.
when anything was offered him to eat. he
first smeed it, and then either put it in his mouth
or laid it aside with a shake of the head In the
same way he would smell peoples hands, and then
strike his breast If pleased or if otherwise shake
his head When he particularly liked anything, as
green beans, peas turnips, mulberres fruit, and
particularly onions and hazelnuts he indicated his
satisfaction by striking repeatedly his chest.
when he found by Jurgen Meyer he had
caught some birds. and eagerly dismembered them
when his first shoes were put on him he was
unable to walk in them but appeared glad when he
could go about again barefooted He was just
little pleased with any covering on his head and
extremely enjoyed throwing his hat or capinto the
water and seeing it swim,
"He first of all became used to go with clothes
on after they had tried him with linen kilt. In
other respects he appeared of quite a sanguine

there. When she discovered this she became very
sad; and when the mother gave her a signal the
girl came right to her.
When she was taken home to Antwerp the wild
girl recovered markedly, as did the wild girl of
Songi and the recent Tarzancito
The account continues: 'It is very interesting
to notice that the wild girl is very kind and good
natured and likes to laugh Since her arrival in
Antwerp she has changed so greatly that when
placed in the company of several woman it is not
possible to any difference except that she does
not talk She greets the person who greets her;
and has been taught how to spin, which she does
very well. 1t is also noted that she is beginning
to talk"
The records on this strange case are so good
and complete that in the same periodical we are
even told why this child was kidnapped The fol-
lowing is the quotation: There was certain
woman who bore merchant in Amsterdam an IL
legitimate child which soon died. Later this mer-
chant became i'll, and his doctor doubted his
recovery, he confessed to him and wrote the woman
in Antwerp that she should bring the child as
he had willed it five thousand dollars. Now the
woman would like to have this money, so she had
the cunning to kidnap a child which she took to
Amsterdam and got the money. Where she went
later, or where she left the child, has been
able to find out
