WE HAVE before us a news
w paper reproduction of a
group photograph of a bunch of
officers of one of the American
regiments that captured Manila
AZ years ago. II was probably
taken by native photographer
who had a little studio on the
Escolta, the principal business
street of those days where the
Japanese soldiers are now I'M
doubtedly much in evidence.
This photographer used TO 60
around the various regimental
headquarters in the Manila area
after the American occupation
and set up some antique and
cumbersome Photographic appa-
ratus and take pictures of the
officers punched IN StiffiSh pos

The pictures were, Of course,

The officers in the photo re-

according 10 the idea OF the
owner. Some were punched in on
four sides and the crown brought
to a peak known AS the Mon

Several of the officers in the
picture had big mustaches with
dropping ends. They all wore
wide leather belts with big brass
buckle and held swords rather
awkwardly in their hands. One
dude wore gauntletS, which

II is 10 restore into our every
day experience the Junk man or
rag man, and with him the push
cart and the horse and wagon.
This would allow for private
enterprise and initiative on the

would be means of livelihood

governmental authorities

Here time for further compromise. Mayor

City employees will be demonstrating their good
citizenship and patriotism in the most practical possible
manner if they reconsider their strike threat.
If not, they will be betrayng their interests and
the interests of their city, and of their nation.

THE latter is the way IN which
Il the German army and nation
attacked and Conquered Western
Europe. II is the secret Of some
mIraculously swift world con-
quests of the past.
A handful Of gaunt hot-eyed
Arab horsemen swift-howling out
Of their desert overwhelmed a
great deal of western civiliza-
ton in an incredibly short space
Of time.
They were inspired by re-
liglouS fanatiCiSm. All they asked
was an opportunity 10 fight and
conquer at the earliest possible
moment.
With his peculiar knack for
such things, Napoleon literally
inspired his tattered. hungry
French revolutionary troops with
an unShakable conviction that
they were fighting 10 bring
liberty. equality and brotherhood
10 oppressed mankind Of every
nation.
As in the Arabian case, he had
wholly inadequate troops, equip
ment and supplies. II didn't
overbalance the moral deter
mination Of his soldiers. AS he
himself said Of this:
'Tn war the mental side IL as

Do we have IL? We have il
not. Events like Pearl Harbor
and MacArthur's mastery last

not enough.

Berlin Eyes
British Fleet
Units Reported
Messed at Gibroltor

NEW YORK, Nov. s. R-
The German radio renewed to-
day its bfoadcasts reporting the
concentration of powerful
warship and transport fleet at
Gibraltar and quoted dispatches
from La Linea, Spain, via Vichy,
as saying a further convoy of Ia
merchantmen reached the port
late yesterday.
A Berlin broadcast quoted
these dispatches as saying that
within the past two days about
40 twin-engined and quadruple-
engined aircraft have landed at
the Gibraltar airdrome and left
again in the direction of the
Mediterranean"
The broadcast repeated earlier
German-circulated reports that
the British aircraft carriers Fur
ious and Argus, the battleship
Rodney, and large numbers Of
cruisers, destroyers, corvettes
and lighter warships figured in
large-scale ship movements at
the port.

Urge Workers
NOT 10 Hunt
WPB Requests
Stoy on Job

LANSING, Nov. 5 - up -
At the request of the War Man
power Committee for Michigan,
Governor Van Wagner said to-
day he would issue a public ap-
peal to workers in munitions
plants not to 60 deer hunting.
George w. Dean, president OF
the Michigan Federation of La
Dor and spokesman for the COM
mittee, told Van Wagner that
100000 man-days were spent
hunting deer by $4,000 hunters
last year, and that if even a por-
ton of that time was lost from
factories, the War Production
effort would suffer substantial
ly.
Dean asked that the Governor
by proclamation stagger the
hunting season by counties, or
close the deer season, or issue a
public appeal to workers to stay
on the job. Van Wagner said
the hunting season by counties,
or close the deer season, or issue
a public appeal to workers to
stay on the job. Van Wagner
said the hunting season was fix
ed by law as to area and that al
though the Conservation COM
mission could close the season
more than $4,000 licenses al
ready had been sold, many to
men not engaged in factory
work.
Van Wagner said plant COM
mittees of workers and manage
ment could decide what workers
could be spared from the job to
go hunting.
