leadership and high achieve

to the crowds that had packed the
courtroom previously.

LONG STRIKE SEEN

The strike is likely TO be pro
tracted for months. Even II the
Indians realize their peril when
the Japanese are upon them
when the japanese, for instance,
are at the gates of Calcutta--it
may then be too late.
The time for invasion may per-
haps be soon after the end OF the
southwest monsoon in September.
The weather makes an INVASION
impracticable now.
Frequent British bombing RAIDS
on Japanese concentrations IN
upper Burma and on Akyab, on
the Burmese coast of the Bay OF
Bengal. indicate British concern
over Japan's preparations.
MONSOON BARS TROOPS
Brig. Gen. H. s. Sewell, British
war commentator, points out that
the monsoon hampers activity IN
the Bay of Bengal and IN the
mountain chain which forms the
boundary between upper Burma
and lndla, Out tnaI lne rains w
not interfere greatly with opera
tons in upper Burma.
The high water at this season
IN both the Chindwin and upper
frHwaddy rivers would make the
concentration of troops and mate
rial easy.
In addition to their activity In
upper Burma. according TO this
British commentary, the japanese
also are advancing up the coast
of the Bay of Bengal from Akyab
towards Chittagong. the terminus
of the railway from Calcutta.
There are no roads along the
coast and the country is unsuitable
for military operations, but by
gradual infiltration along the
lower slopes of the hills, the Japa-
nese may be able TO consolidate
their position with the more direct
thrust overland from Burma to-
wards Assam.

SECOND ATTACK TUESDAY

The second time was early Tues
day. A bomber few over western
Iceland. just west of Reykjavik,
and machine-gunned a lighthouse
east of Holmavik, in northwest
Iceland.
Army communicates disclose that
German bombers are coming in
ISingly along the coast and making
sorties into shore, usually in cloudy
weather. Twice bombers have
passed almost over Reykjavik, but
dropped nothing.
These tactics apparently are de-
signed for nuisance and reconnais-
sance, in addition to occasional
attacks on small trawlers along
the coast.
STUDY WEATHER
German bombers are known TO
be ranging widely over desolate
stretches of the Arctic Seas north
of Iceland, making weather OBJ
.servations and hunting conveys. In
operations closer to Iceland. they
are aided now by a few more hours
of darkness, which is replacing the
a most continuous daylight of
summer.
Increasing submarine activity
has been reported, and heavy plane
and naval patrols are guarding the
sea lanes. The situation is much
better than ii was a year ago
when several conveys in the North
Atlantic took severe beatings.
An important factor in the in
creased German sea and AIR war
lis an attempt to close the long and
dangerous Allied supply route 10
Russia through Murmansk and
Archangel. German claims of sink
ings around the North Cape of
Norway are doubtlessly exagger-
lated, but il generally is admitted
that the Allies have suffered losses.

A Disney insignia layout

brought an insignia request
to the studio from the 126th
Observation S squadron in
Fort Dix. This squadron was
originally the National Guard
unit from Wisconsin. Because
a badger is used on the state

Thus the Disney insignia

books on outdoor recreation that
may be found in the Central Library

~ MARION HQTgTODe. (HOlLJ
This is a funny Army book. Pvt.
Hargrove, the author, was in civilian
life an employe of the Charlotte en-
c. News. AS he puts it, "Of the 800
or so jobs in this newspaper, at least
hundred" were his. They called
him feature editor for convenience.
Previous to his eruption into Jour-
nalism, he had been soda jerker

reached out and took him, and he

cook. His experiences in camp life
are the stuff of his little book.
None of it is new; most of 1t, in

the OLD Army game. How Pvt. Har-
grove got around his noncomS, or
did not get around them; how he

how he performed soldierly duty
on the garbage rack and, finally,
how he formulated a method of

ICon Lick Seven
By Robert Richards. (Litt
BrO1Un

6y HOOeTL RlcHUTlS. fL1LLte,
Bro,Un.J
This is Robert Richards first
novel, although he has written some
short stories the Atlantic Monthly
liked well enough to publish. Just
to clear the decks for comment, the
title had better be explained now
When Melancthon Fowinkle lost
an arm in the War Between the
States, the fleeing Jefferson Davis
came to commiserate with him.
Davis said, "Sir, you are brave
man. But why did you Gomez" And
Col. Fowinkle replied, "Mr. Presi-
dent, could lick 10 Yankees before,
I can lick seven now"
The fact was that Melancthon
had been the ugly duckling on the
Fowinkles' big North Mississippi
plantation before the war. His
brother Fairfax had raced the
horses, staggered the country, won
Rachel. All Melancthon could do
was teach school-and he hated it.
War had released him; In war, he
had found himself the equal of most
and the superior of many. He would
have fought on for the lost cause
eagerly, because his brother Fairfax
was now dead, and he dreaded to
return to the plantation and his
sense of inadequacy, and to the
tormenting sight of Rachel living
under the same roof.
But he did return. He had to
become leader, as best as he might.
Unwanted, the daughter of his
overseer came to him; her name
was Gaberiel and she is Mr..
Richards embodiment OF Mother
Eve. Melancthon took Gaberiel with
Rachel in his mind All about the
plantation were the problems of re-
construction with which Melancthon
struggled as best he might. The
difficulty was that nothing resolved
itself into simple right and wrong
| for him-he was forever lost within
himself.
And then one day Melancthon's
chance came again. It would be a
kind of betrayal to explain exactly
how the chance came, but it does
no harm to say that it involved at
least double sacrifice, and that for
Melancthon it brought salvation It
can be seen that Mr. Richards has
chosen rather involved psychologi-
cal drama for his debut. There are
one or two matters that might be
made more clear. but 1t Is an ex-
ceedingly fine debut just the same.
