Thanks to the efforts of the Royal
Air Force and the wit of our friend
and fellow columnist, Walter Win
chell, who, like this humble writer,
devotes most of his effort to wax
ing up the American Colossus to
its deadly peril, milady of the
United Nations has new exotic
perfume, Burnt Cologne" While
the odor of burning Cologne
sweeps over Europe, bringing re-
freshment and strength to down
trodden milliOns-Hitler, Goering,
and the rest of the "Nazi Pack"
choke on the fumes rising from this
gigantic funeral pyre. Clearer than
any handwriting on any wall-the
pillar of smoke from Cologne-the
Ruhr valley and the Rhineland is
leading the hosts of Nazidom to
defeat 1t is too late now for DIR.
Goebells to "gabble" about vic
tories of the past and victories to
come in an effort to bolster a rap
idly fading German morale. The
damage has been done, civilian Ger
many has had to undergo mass air
raids that make the Nazi assaults
on England look like work of anna
teurs, and the worst is yet to come.
Instead of 1000 bombers a night,
the Nazis can look for 1000, 5000
and even 1000 nightly visitors
there will be no let up this time
Germany must pay and pay dearly
for every Englishman slaughtered
on the beach at Dunkirk, for the
mass murders at Rotterdam, for
the American boys burned alive at
Pearl Harbor.

In Libya, the Britishers seem to
be more than holding their own
this despite the fact that General
Rommell and his vaunted Africa
Corps have smashed again and
again at the gates of Tobruk. Aided
by vast numbers of the new Ameri-
can super tanks affectionately call
ed the General Grants" by the Uni
ted Nations Army of General Auch-
inleck, every assault has been beat
en- off with great losses to the Ger
mans The last word from this vital
front disclosses the fact that the
Allies are moving against the Nazis
in a mighty counter attack which
If successful, will sweep the Axis
forces out of Libya for all time.

We received this week most in
teresting poem about that newly
created product of World War IL
the First Alder, who armed with
splints, bandages, arnica and iodine,
is prepared to save us all for bet
ter or worse when the bombs come
tumbling down. 1t follows:
To The First Alder
Lady, if you see me lying,
On the ground, and maybe dying,
Let my blood run bright and free,
Don't attempt to bandage me.
While there's life, there's hope. as
yet
Don't apply a tourniquet.
Do not give for my salvation
Artificial respiration"
Do not stretch my bones and joints,
Do not press my pressure points"
If queer symptoms" you should
Do not experiment on me.
If | am suffering from shock, .
Take walk around the block;
If you must be busy then l pray
Help to keep the crowd" away.
So whatever my condition
Phone at once for a physician"
Let me He'll take a chance
Waiting for the ambulance.
From First Aid" l beg release,
Lady: Let me die in "Piece!"

Talk Faith

without
Your uttered ignorance and morbid |
doubt.
II you have faith in God, or man. I
or self,
Say SO; if not, push back upon the
shelf
of silence all your thoughts till |
faith shall come;
No one will gTieve because your
lips are dumb"
