HERE IL no doubt In
anybody's mind about
the eventual outcome Of
this war.
Probably there is not much
doubt even in the minds of
intelligent Japanese tha I
America will win In the end.
But the Japanese realize
that the more America delays
action the stronger Japan
can become entrenched In the
Pacific.
The loss Of the Philippines
would he humiliating but not
+irremediable.
Nevertheless the Philip
pines properly fortified and
properly defended by ships
and planes and guns would
have been a better base for
offensive operations against
Japan than Singapore.
Moreover, the Philippines
are much richer and more
valuable to Japan than the
Malayan Peninsula.

ities orders or Of opA rationlng or- ders are liable to Q maximum petlal- ty of two years Imprisonment and R si0,000 fine for each offense.
 Tn the first action taken under the new law, 6 federal grand jury reported Wednesday to Judge Harry Hollzer in the United States dis- triet court, in Los Angeles on ins dletment charging Guy o. Bryan, c tire dealer of that city, and five others, with conspiracy to commit fraud against the United States in the retail sale of new tires and tubes to consumers without certifl- cateS from their local fationing board. The criminal proceedings were the result of on extensive in- vestlgation by officials of the oPM, the department of justice, and the Los Angeles metropolitan police,
 Working In cooperation with the department of justice, the OPM has adopted Q comprehensive plan for investigation and prosecution Of persons who violate the rationine rules. OPM officials also warn that violations will be prosecuted vigor. ously now that the second war pow, CTS act has become effective.
 Until the recent passage of thC act enforcement of the rationinG program and of priorities orders hat been severely handicapped by tht fact that the law provided no erim. inal penalties for even the most fragrant violations.

WORKERS FORGET
 DINNER PALS
Government May Salvage Metal From Old.FashiOn.
 ed Lunch Containers

Chicago, April 6 - Remember when the full dinner pail" was . famous political campaign sloganp Well, today, full or otherwise, din- ner pals are only relies. And be- cause they're no longer used to pack lunches, the best service that factory workers can perform ts to toss them in as old metal, much needed now to win the war,
 Sidney Hoedemaker, president of the National Restaurant Rssocia- ton, so recommended today. He added that the government could bring lot of metal out of hiding by communicating old dinner pals,
 "A survey sheHs that practically no factory woa Sers carry dinner pals any more" HoedemNker said, The association he heads will spon- sor National Restaurant week dur ing tho period Of May to 10, in. elusive, with the wlndup on Moth- CTS day,
 "The modern way is to pNrtake of hot lunches at plant eafeterias, It's Q good thing, too, as nutritionists and industrial psychologists agree Their studies show that factory workers can thereby maintain Q high degree of efficiency since they are less likely to suffer from mal- nutrition.
 "This is no reflection upon tht culinary ability of workers wives The fact is that they welcome thI relief from such duties. Further more, many of them are working 1T plants, aso are their husbands Nne children,
 Disappearance of the dinner pal has done much in stimulating tho habit Of dining out. It has helped to build the restaurant industry tc the point where last year eating es- tablishments turned in Q record volume of $27b0,000, ,o00 and served approximately 6 billion meals"

 Draft Jagged Two Months
 The French and British believed, that with American supplies and rec sources behind them, they could break the German Army. But in March Of 1918 the Germans launci- cd their big drive and the Allies ap- pealed urgently to America for a supreme effort"-ail appeal that was answered with 100000 soldiers sent to France within six months.
 Unlike the present war, in which the United States foresaw the in- evitable and began mobiliZing n1aI1- power, selectlve srvice was not be- sun until two months after the out. break of World War No. Ion June 5, 1917, when men from 2i to 3i were registered.
 A year later c second registration was held and third one, on Sept, l2, 1918, broadened the age limits down to i8 and up 10 45.
 Wilson Was Reluctant
 Of q total of 24234,02 men reg- istered in the three calls 2,ei0 ,200 we're inducted. All but i60,000 were from the 2i to 3i age group.
 The United States entry Into the var came at the reluctant demand of President Wilson after months of growing German depredations on the high seaS, and defiance of U. s. warnings.
 Tn January, 1917, tho German am. bassador to Washington, Count BernBtorff, informed the United States that all ships including neu- tralS would be sunk after Feb. 1 If they tried to reach British, French or Italian ports or the astern Me. dlterranean.
 Wilson, informed Of dermany's warning, told members Of his cabl- net that break in relations seem. ed inevitable but that he was de. teFmined to avoid war, 70 the Unit ed States might save her strength Ito save Europe aftcrward."
 Germany Warned by U. $.
 dermanyB action was branded as piracy" and return to murder" i" PubIc feeling rose,
 As far back as April i8, 1918, President Wilson had warned Ger. many that unless unrestricted sub. marine warfare was abandoned the United States could have no choice but to severe diplomatic relations"
 On Saturday, Feb. 3 the president nnounced-before Q senate whose cheers drowned out his wordB--that the United states was breaking off diplomatic relations with Imperial Germany. He warned then that 1t might Dc war soon,
 still German U.boats continued to sink American ships on the high seas,
 War Against Humanity"
 On Feb. 24 the government learn Germany was woolng Mexico, prom. iging her parts Of Texas, New Mex. leo and Arizona, and also was try. ing to wheedle Japan, who became one Of the Allies against Germany in World War No. 1.
 On March l2, the U. 8. steamer Algonquin was sunk without warn- Ing. More and more ships were sunk.
 Finally, at e:S6 P. M. on April 2 the President appeared before q joint session of Congress and called for war because Germany's Bubna- rine warfare constituted "warfare against humanity"
 Four days later the House of Rep- regentatlyes approved the declara- ton and the country was at war.
