CONFLICT
CHAPTER VIII

At nightfall Knut Osterholm went down to the well-stocked cellar of his farm, blacked out the narrow windows near the ceiling with tarpaper and stationed two of his hired boys whom he could trust at the door. Some time after eleven o'clock. fourteen men and two women crept by various paths from the village and the hills and one by one slid out Of the dark ness into the dimly-lighted room.
 In the center of a long table stood one lone lamp. Along the stone walls were unfinished wood- en benches. Sverre Hammer, the man from Stoksund, his head swathed in bandages and his burned hands like Jumps wrapped in white gauge, sat at the head of the table. He was sharp. hook noseG man about thirty. with a Bickeningly empty locking face, smeared across the forehead with a long red gash, covered with vel low SAlve. One gazed at him a long time before one realized that his peculiarly naked look came from his eyebrows and eyelashes having been scared away.
 When the meeting started, the doctor was standing beside him, with his hands in his pockets, rocking importantly back and forth on his toes. Gunnar Brogge and his wife, Solveig, were sitting on the stairs. Next to them stood Pastor Aalesen, a thin, sandy haired young man with a bright flush to his cheeks. Lars Malken, his face looking gray and more deeply lined than ever, stood under window with Gerd Bjar- nesen. The others, fishermen, two laborers, Morten Mortensen, who had come down from near the saeter. and another farmer named Qjerlof, little man with a beard, who owned small plot down near the fJord edge, were seated un- comfortably along the benches. Knut Osterho!m himself, his dark, rugged head half buried in the collar of an old coat, stood hunched over with his back to the outside door.
 Hammer had been telling them how when down in Stoksund the soldiers had come, all caution had been forgotten. They had picked up their guns and called the chil- dren into the houses. The German captain had been the first to die. "When he fell from that shot" he said in his brittle voice, flor a minute 1t was quiet.

Rear Admiral w. H. P. Blandy.
chief Of Navy Ordnance, said yes
terday In speech broadcast from
somewhere in the Pacific that new
weapons and new techniques are
being provided Americas sea fight
ers in this war as fully as ever they
were in the past.
Admiral Blandy, who announced
that he had visited Midway Island,
l,400 miles west of Pearl Harbor,
Saturday spoke over the Blue Net
work.
Telling the Nations war workers
that your reach is from Detroit to
Tulagi, from Midvale to Midway"
he declared that the men on Mid

only hoping that the Japs will have
the temerity to try it again so they
can give them another and even
bigger taste of your bullets and
bombs and torpedoes."
Drawing Boards Busy.
Speaking of new developments in
naval ordnance, he said that "a very
considerable proportion of the great
advances in offensive warfare have
originated under American aus
pices in the Bureau of Ordnance of
the Navy Department.
Mot less today than when in years
past the Dhalgren gun and the
torpedo took shape on the drawing
boards Of naval ordnance" he con-
tinued, new weapons and new
techniques are being provided to our
ships and planes which cruise the
seven seas in search of the enemy,
or convoy our men and supplies to
the far-flung bases which we now
occupy"
Admiral Blandy said the question
which he had been asked most fire.
quently on his visit to the Pacific
war zone was, do our people at
home fully realize what is going
on out here?"
Production Delays Rare.
II have assured those who have
asked this question" he said, land
who have evidently been moved to
do so by an occasional report of
strike or shutdown, that you at home
do realize. it-and fully, that delay
in production for any reason is a
rare exception, rather than other
wise, and that the vast majority
OF American working men and
women consider themselves part of
the supply branch of the armed
forces and do not tolerate or will
ingly countenance any interruption,
day or night, in the flow of ma
terial to those forces.
Those fighting men out here
would simply not understand delay
In the production of their fighting
tools because of some haggle over
prices by contractor, sypathetic
strike or shutdown occasioned by
jurisdictional dispute between
unions. Those men are consecrated
to victory; they take it for granted
that you are too"
