What too many persons do not
realize-and that applies to many
in Tacoma-is that the typical
Jap soldier is one Of the toughest
fighting men in the world. Al

In an article in the last number
of the Infantry Journal and con-
densed in the November issue Of
the Readers Digest.
Col. Clear isn't guessing in his
estimate of the Japanese soldier.
He served four years as military
observer in japan and Is one OF
the few Americans who knows
the Japanese army from the in
side. His conclusion is that on
the Pacific coast the United States
faces a most relentless and eff
cient fighting machine.
The modern Jap soldier, Col
Clear points out, is the product OF
centuries of bloody, ruthless war
fare on the island of Japan. The
Jap is proud of military traditions
that glorify such past atrocities as
burying captives alive and collect
ing enemy heads as an official
tally Of casualties. But he Is
prouder still of his own capacity
TO endure the severest punishment
as part of his military duty.
Col. Clear reports that while NJ
was training with a Jap regiment
he learned that the soldiers train
ing actually began at the age o.
six when he first learns to marcf
with a heavy pack. By the tint

MORE ACTION:
In the Pacific

As U. S. forces were continuing
their mopping up activities in the
Solomon islands word from another
sector of the Pacific indicated that
the marines had done it again. This
time it was the Gilbert islands that
felt the power of a marine detach-
ment as it smashed Jap seaplane
base, radio installations and stores
on the island of Maxim, island in the
Gilbert group. This action came
in the form of hit and run attack.
Caught entirely by surprise, the
Japs were so confused that bomb
ers from other bases actually de-
stroyed their Jap planes on the
ground.
Meanwhile all was not quiet in the
Solomons, scene of the earlier and
more extensive action by the u. S.
forces. Here the marines were busy
cleaning out the Japs that retreated
to the hills after initial successes
were scored by the American at
tackers.
Trouble for the marines came
from another source but an official
communique from Pearl Harbor re-
vealed that it had been treated with
typical marine thoroughness. This
was night attack by fast boats OF
700 Japs who stormed the marine
held positions from the sea. After
a night and day of fighting, 670 Japs
were dead and the other 80 were
captured. Marine losses were "a
killed and 72 injured.

Today's mail brings me this let
ter.
'I am a woman of "a, married
just ten years. I idealized Rob for
years before we were married and
for years afterward. We have two
beautiful girls, eight and five. We
four have been inseparable, loving,
admiring each other, always happy
together. Seven months ago there
was change.
"The girl who has taken my place
in my husbands heart is only 18.
She is orphaned, my husbands
ward. She is very beautiful, inno-
cent and artless in manner, and
rich. To Robert the thought of pos
sessing all this loveliness, youth,
charm and the added independence
is evidently acting like an intoxi-
eating wine. He is completely be-
witched. Alma makes no secret of
her passionate devotion to him.
Since she was very small she has
been in the habit of kissing him,
sitting on his knee, ruff1ing his hair.
She continues all this. All this time,
until now, he has regarded her as
merely another child; but now he
wants her for his wife.
1t Never Lasts.
81 know the wreckage of his life
that would follow this step. Alma
is shallow, f1irtatious, self-centered
as most little beauties of her age.
She loves to pout and tease; she
wants to 60 to Hollywood to study
for the films and he has promised
to take her, if only Sally will be an
angel and say 'yes!' His infatuation
for her will last only as long as
she chooses to f1atter him and be
sweet; then some younger man will
come along, and Rob, reputation and
practice destroyed, wife and children
alienated, will be left in the ruins of
his own life. Rob is just 40.
'"The alternative to my shrieking
at him, as I sometimes want to do,
Take her and get out; I never
want to see either of you idiots
againr is the bitter one of living
with a silent, resentful man, whose
attitude will be that have destroyed
his one chance for happiness in life.
That my own life is destroyed,
know. But there are my girls, inno-
cent and sweet and completely un-
conscious of all this. Until very
lately their fathers devotion to
them, from the very hour of their
| ir4h fIo "a
all our friends.
81 can send Alma away; indeed it
is already arranged that she is to
| 60 to a dramatic school in south
ern California. But what sort of a
husband would / have after all this?
What am to do?"
Divorce will only bring misery to
you, Sally, and in the long run to
him, too.
Avoid argument; keep away from
criticism and questions; be as Sc
rene as possible; make yourself and
your voice attractive, and bide your
time. Yours is an unusual and pain
| full variation of the old situation,
but the results unfortunately will be
the same.
You'll never get back the old con-
fident love; but someday when he
is proud of his beautiful daughters,
when there are new faces and small
grandchildren in the picture, you
will know you have gained some
thing better. Happiness isn't every
thing in this life.

LARGEST CONVOY:
.4rriUes in ENGLAND

Shape of things to come in Europe
was clearly etched by the announce
ment that the largest U. S. troop con-
voy ever attempted in this war had
landed safely in Great Britain. Mil
itary experts quickly viewed this
move as speed-up gesture in Unit
ed Nations second front plans.
Included in the convoy were
"many thousands" of soldiers and
airmen plus vast quantities of war
materials. Troops were swiftly dis
embarked and scattered to the in
terror of England, there to join 9TH

attack on German held Europe.

BRAZIL AT WAR:
First in South america

Angered by months of Axis aggres-
sion, Brazil became the first South
American nation to declare war
upon Germany and Italy, thus swell
ing the ranks of the United Nations
to 29. Brazil's declaration of a state
of war climaxed a week filled with
mass demonstrations against the
Axis sinking of five Brazilian ships
with the loss of approximately 600
lives.
The state of war did not include
japan, although Brazil broke diplo-
matte relations with all three Axis
nations last January.
The declaration of war cleared the
way for immediate measures to
secure the protection of what has
been termed the most vulnerable
land area on the Atlantic side of
the Western hemisphere-the Natal
bulge only 1900 miles from Dakar
in Africa. Military men long have
pointed to this sector as the place
where Axis forces would strike first
if they were able to consolidate their
African and European positions.
Brig. Gen. Amaro Soares Bitten
court, Brazilian military attache to
the United States, said that Brazil
sis defending the continent" and
that 1--WE must congregate and re.
unite all our military elements fol
