Americans can take il, and the Axis knows it.
When Axis leaders call the democracies soft and
speak of degenerate Yankeedom' they are thinking
of civilian morale not our Army and Navy. They
know our men can fight, that our weapons are the
worlds best. But they figure our civilian population
can't stand sacrifice even inconvenience. We are
now showing the Axis braggarts that they are wrong

THE USO SLAMBOREE

young American soldier recently walked into
one of the more than 500 USO clubs spread through
the United States, its possessions and territories,
and made an unusual request. We aren't going to
mention the town the name of the soldier. It's
one of those things where names aren't important.
This soldier could have stretched out in an easy
chair in front of fireplace and read book Or he
could have pulled up chair to game of checkers,
seen a movie maybe taken part in a dance that was
going on But he wasn't interested in any of these
things.
He wanted to hold three months old baby.
He had one at home. He wanted chance to
remember what it like. Well, he got the chance
to hold baby The USO director managed to see
that he got his wish
This incident is unusual But it illustrates what
the USO does in giving the homesick soldier touch
of home. Putting man into a uniform and giving
him gun doesn't turn him into automaton. He
can still be lonesome bored restless longing for
something that neither military discipline, the COM
panionship of other young men, nor the most
thoughtful efforts of commanding officer can give
him
If he didn't love his home folks. his home all he
left in order to take up a gun, he wouldn't be good
soldier marine or sailor
The Government can't do what the USO can do
The Government has be mpersonal in its dealings
If the Government donated twice as much money as
the USO has at hand, it couldn't do the job.
Juneau's goal in the current campaign to raise
funds for this vital organization slightly than
$4,000 If Juneauites, all of them really could UNI
derstand with their hearts as well their minds
just what the USO to a service man, that
sum would be turned in overnight.
Here's how you can do your part. The Juneau
Rotary Club, under the direction of Don Skuse with
the help of the Army has arranged fine two-day
schedule of entertainment This will include smok-
er to be held in the ball park rain shine, fine
dance afterwards and baseball game the next day
So contribution to the USO will give you ticket
to all three events.

Tally At Midway
New York Times

New York Times
An official tally from Pearl Harbor makes it
abundanty clear that the Battle of Midway was much
more than fortunate repulse of the enemy. 1t was
major japanese disaster Such a stiff blow seems
bound to have profound effect not only on the nav
al strategy of the Pacific but the morale of a
maritime nation which previous to this war, never
lost sea battle
The Japanese people have been told little about
the action at Midway except for hints over the Tokyo
radio that losses there mot inconsidefabe But
in time the details seem certain to become known.
Four Japanese plane carriers were sunk-the entire
carrier complement the greatest fleet Japan ever
sent out of home waters. Two of them were the
largest and finest in the japanese Navy. All were
fast modern vessels. These ships Admiral MINI
it, carried 275 planes few of which could have been
saved Two heavy cruisers went to the bottom Three
others were damaged Three battleships were bombed
and damaged Three destroyers and perhaps four
went down Four transports were hit and some sank
To infict these Gripping losses we lost number
of planes one destroyer and suffered hit on one
carrier.
No navy in this war, not even the Italian Navy
has suffered so serious a in any single en-
oaeement If the plane carrier and not the battle
shin is to rule the reaches of the Pacific the de-
;truction of the Kaga the Akag the Soryu and the
Hiryu greatly hamper Japans power to strike in that
ocean When the war began Japans strength in car
riers was greater than that of any other nation
Counting two sunk in the Coral Sea and off Java
she has now lost seven carriers This should bring
our Navy to a parity with Japans in this type OF
fighting craft In plane capacity our carriers, ship
| for ship considerably surpass the enemyS.
