ing forces, there were not nearly enough.
Fortunately, the great reservoir of leadership
in the American people could be tapped. The
Army is drawing on it literally. Many of
the present non commissioned officers are
selectees, men who only few short months
ago were civilians. OF the 900 enlisted men
who entered the Officer Candidate School in
one month, ESQ were selectees.
Every non commissioned officer must be
leader every potential non-com shows this
quality It's the task of the commissioned
officer to spot these leaders and get them into
a position of responsibility. In the First
Army. Lieutenant General Hugh A. Drum set
up a system of citations by which officers
give written credit to men who perform out
standing work. During the Carolina maneu-
vers, the last held by our army before Japans
treacherous attack on Pearl Harbor, several
hundred of these citations were given. They
read like scroll of honor.
Take the case of Corporal M D. Whitney.
of Troop q" l0lst Cavalry He accompanied
his commander, Second Lieutenant M. c.
Kugh, on a scouting raid far behind the lines
of Major General o. w. Griswold's red
army. During that raid, Klugh's men cap
tured complete set of General Griswolds
plans. Corporal Whitney was picked to rush
the plans back to General Drums head
quarters.
He had already covered 200 miles that day
on his motorcycle - hard work, any rider will
tell you - but he started without question.
He detoured around the enemy lines, fought
to protect his dispatch case containing the
plans, and rode like demon when the way
was clear.
JUsr after dawn, he climbed off his motor
cycle and lifted down the precious dispatch
case He had alternately ridden, carried,
pushed and hidden his motorcycle for IL
solid hours to reach First Army headquarters
The citations by the men of the First Army
during the Carolina maneuvers followed a
definite pattern That pattern was the same
as the citations for gallantry in the last war:
Recipient of the Congressional Medal of
Honor was Private Sterling Morelock of the
18th Infantry, First Division. During the
battle of the Meuse- Argonne on October a,
1918, Morelock with three other men who
were acting as runners at company head
quarters, voluntarily led them as patrol in
advance of his oompanys front line through
an intense rifle, artillery and machine gun fire
:. encountering series of five German
machine gun nests. With his patrol, he cleaned
them all out The quotes are from the cita-
ton which accompanied the Medal of Honor.
During the Carolina maneuvers, Private
Norman Grant of the Goth Infantry, 9th Divi-
sion, showed comparable initiative. The
enemy, represented by the 3Oth Division, was
entrenched before Winnsboro, South Carolina.
The Goth Infantry was attacking, with Grant
as point" man of its advance. But the
enemy was unyielding. Grant had been over
the area as leader of the attack - that is the
function of the point" man. He knew that,
from nearby knoll. the enemy's flank could
be menaced Grants sergeant had been cap
tured earlier in the day, but Grant led his
sn,,ad in that direction The aDDearance Ot

CHAPTER XIII

Hokano, that tall unhappy man
who had tried to end Lilua's life and
his own, presently lay bound with
wet cordage in a foe sic bunk. One
Of his brother Kanakas had Dashed
him over the head with an oar, as
Hokano had turned, treading water,
to look at Kai-Ale-Ale.
Tonga Dick Wayne had been right
in sending a Kanaka crew in the
boat to pick up Hokano; the maxim
Of South Sea sailors was true-that
no one knew how to handle Ka-
naka except a Kanaka. Hokano,
naked though he looked, had his
knife slung about his neck by sem
net cord, and he would have slashed
the wrist tendons Of anyone who laid
hands on him from the boat while
he was conscious. After one of them
had knocked him out with an oar,
another Kanaka had Owed to res
cue him, and had stopped the sink
ing Of the inert turn.
It would have been weird watch
ing, for anyone, to see those simple,
casual maneuvers-theK anaka boys
standing with easy, natural balance
in the Keeling little boat on the swells
Of the sea, letting the dinghy stand
on the heel Of her scant hull while
they dragged Hokano in, without any
one of them ever losing his superb
balance, and never shipping quart
of water. Nobody not q Kanaka
could ever understand the easy affin-
ity of that amphibious people to the
sea; sea-riding a small boat, or a
canoe, or a floating stick, as easily
as a haole walks on asphalt pave
ment, or handles his knife and
fork
Bound with cords that cut too deep
ever to slip, Hokano lay in foc'sle
bunk, awake and impressive. Aft,
in Dick Wayne's bed, lay the girl
Hokano had tried to kill, fighting
for her life; the intense native vi
tally of Lilua's body held onto life
avidly, regardless Of how little Lilua
herself cared whether she lived or
died.
Karen Waterson sat beside Lilua,
and Inyashi and the Chinese mess
boy lowered behind Karen, useful
chiefly to hold Lilua down when she
could no longer be controlled. Lilua
was not out Of her head entirely;
she babbled increasingly in the Ha-
waiian tongue. Dick went away,
unable to listen any more; Lilua was
talking as II her heart would break
and kill her If her wound did not.
He went on deck and stood at the
stern, swayjng to sea he did not
feel. The Holokai when full out had
always had the character Of q crazed

do you expect me to wait until
he jumps into the air?"
He fired, and spout Of water
sprang UP far to the left Of Hokano.
Karen saw now what Dick was fir
ing at. The tall fin of Kai-Ale-Ale
was curving near, gliding lazily, I'M
hurried. Dick fred again, without
effect; he could not see his sights.
Karen's teeth were chattering. II
thought thought you said sharks
never harm brown men"
''This thing isn't like other sharks!
Nobody knows anything about him.
The incredibly long, monstrous
shape of Kai-Ale-Ale was shouting
near to the swimmer now; Hokano
must have seen it, but he swan
straight on, unmindful. The boy
manning the searchlight suddenly
swung it aside, and held it unsteadi-
ly upon the monster. A long phos-
phorescent CLEAN Of turned water
suddenly shone half the length Of
the whale sharks back emphasizing
the unbelievable.
Dick sighted upon the base Of the
great fin and fired four times. Sud-
denly the fin jerked rigid, and a
great govt of water went up. The
fin sunk from view; far back, in
credibly far back from where it dis
appeared, the great tail fluke rose
out of the sea. For a moment the
searchlight held ia vast scimitar
shaped thing, higher from the water
than the Holokai's booms; then it
drove downward, disappearing in
black water as Kai-Ale-Ale sounded.
''Stay down there a while," Dick
said.
''Did you kill it,"
"You can't kill that thing"
The searchlight found the boat
again. It was rising and falling idly,
and its bow rose clear of the water
as the Kanakas hauled the slack
body of Hokano over the transom.

Cheering Incidents Recounted.

They listened to radios from Lon

began learning what has been going
on in the world from which they
had been thoroughly isolated by the
German censorship.
Their four day journey through
the Rhine Valley, France, Spain and
Portugal was supervised to the
Spanish border by the Gestapo, but
despite the strictest of control there
were numerous incidents cheering
to Americans who for long months
had longed to shake the German

such things, on the theory that all

One lively French peasant obvi-
ously had heard about our train in
some manner: He stood in his field
and merrily waved the Stars and
Stripes.
Before the train reached Paris a
bold French airman slipped aboard

Closer Unity Urged
Among All Baptists
In North America
Joint Session in 1914
To Be Sought; Inclusion
Of Conodo Suggested
By the Associat<d Press.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, May 10
Closer unity between all Baptists
of North America to meet the chal
lenge of world turmoil was urged
on the Southern Baptist convention
today which. at the same time, took
its first step toward expanding world
missions after the war.
The Rev. Louis M. Hale. pastor
Of the First Baptist Church of
Wichita. Kans.. put his official
greetings from the Northern Bap-
tist convention in the form of a
plea for "fellowships that would be
helpful to one another in the face
of common problems arising from
world conditions"
He expressed hope that the con-
vention would act favorably on a
proposal for joint session of
Southern and Northern Baptists in
1914. which will be offered by DR..
M. E. Dodd of Shreveport Tuesday.
Mr.. Hale suggested that a session
with Canadian Baptists would be
logical fruit Of such joint gath
erings.
Retiring President w. w. Hamil-
ton of New Orleans urged spiritual
unity among Christians and not
mechanical unity.
A resolution calling for the ap-
pointment of a committee to study
means of expanding foreign mis-
sions after the war, introduced by
DR.. H. H. Hargrove of Waco. Tex,

tee will be named and set to work
during the current convention.

Even the cats get the ideA,'
chuckled an idling fisherman.
At Biarritz there was a last i'm
preston OF war: Buses taking the
party to train moved among Ger
man soldiers who were slipping
from building to building, appar-
emily working out some problem In
street fighting.
Planes roared low over the house
tops and coast artillery fired into
the Bay of Biscay, sending up great
splashes out near the horizon.
On the beach, which in peace
time was one of Europe's smartest
fashion promenades. German SOL
diers were digging themselves into
the sand. Burning smudge pots
covered the city with a dense, evil
smelling smoke screen.
The whole thing looked like q
practice maneuver to repel land
ing. 1t also looked like a show that
might have been staged for the
benefit Of the departing Americans.
The French said there had been
no previous operations on such a
scale and the idea apparently was
to try to scare us with demonstia-
ton Of German military power.
All contacts with the French were
fleeting and furtive or casual citizens
obviously were suspicious Of stran-
gers, but the impression was that
France was thoroughly unhappy,
yet could do little against the Nazi
domination. Some Frenchmen said,
however, that opposition still was
keenly alive around ST. Nazaire,
where fighting continued bitterly
for some days after recent British
Commando landing.
At Hendaye the party changed
from the cramped German train to
wide-gauge Spanish cars. The Ges-
tapo uniforms disappeared, the
blackout was lifted and meals
trebled in size and quality.
Spain, ofncially friendly, extended
itself to make the transit pleasant
and swift. At Burgos there was a
pro-American demonstration, cheer
ing crowds causing much distress
to the German Foreign once repre-
sentative on the train.
The friendliness increased in Por-
tugal. At the town of Cotencas two

special assistant TO the Attorney
General, was named chief of the
War Frauds Unit to conduct grand

no requests to make any investi-
cations of suspected violations of

ney Leary, o. P. A. director for the
District of Columbia, indicated the

been completely set up here.
Agents Checking Traffic.
In other sections of the rationed
area Of the Eastern Seaboard, how
ever, the o. p A. yesterday placed
Staf1s Of Investigators to check traf-
flc, according to the Associated
Press.
One of these stats was on the
Delaware River and Tacony-Pal-
myra Bridge approaches in the
Philadelphia area, to check the use
of cars for pleasure jaunts to the
seashore. The agents said they
were just curious to find out what S

 ALASKA PIONEER,
 SUCCUMBS TO-DAY

John White, II, oldtimer of AL aska, died early this morning in St. Ann's Hospital, having suffered a stroke about a month ago.
 Jack" White was one of the many Alaska pioneers who was known to everyone, but whose per- sonal life is known to few. He was born in Illinois, but had been in Alaska for many years, having been in Dawson and in Fairbanks in the early days.
 He was known to hundreds of Juneau residents, having for some time owned and operated the To- tenn Grocery here. He had always been engaged in store keeping, with prospecting as sideline. For the last few years, he has been oper- ating trading post north of Haines on the Chilkat near the border.
 His widow is believed to be re- siding in San Francisco.
 Funeral arrangements will be an- nounced later by the Charles w Carter Mortuary.
