A few days ago the American
japanese battle for the Solomon Is
lands entered new, perhaps de-
cisive, stage, after having fingered
on ever since August T. In Wash
ington the newest phase of the fight
is considered highly important, but
very few details are released to the
public, and it is practically impos-
sible to form complete or correct
picture of the situation.
In the only official statement
available Secretary of the Navy
Frank Knox said he refused to
predict the outcome; that he,
like all other Americans, hoped
it would be victory, and that a
battle like this cannot be fought
without incurring losses.
The island of Guadalcanal is the
center of the fighting, and here il
seems that the japanese have been
able to land strong reinforcements,
even, it is said, heavy artillery There
are rumors to the effect that addi-
tional American forces have arrived
or are on the way
Surer in Aleutians.
While doubt prevails concerning
the Solomons at the moment of writ
ing, the situation at the northern
end of the Pacific, that is, on the
Aleutian islands, is clearer and more
reassuring.
Indications are that the Amer
leans are in the process of chas-
ing the Japanese away from their
last stronghold on the island of
Kiska, and when they succeed in
doing this, there will be no enc.
my troops left near the coast of
Alaska.
It is considered doubtful that the
Japanese will make a new attempt
to entrench themselves on the Aleu-
tians, for as the months roll on, it
becomes increasingly certain that
they will not rush into an attempted
direct attack on the American con-

tinent. Some time ago they might
have been able to try. They hardly
are now.
War in Russia.
However, it will never do to un-
derestimate the strength of an enemy;
that has been proved again in Rus
sia where the Nazi forces have re-
newed their vigorous attacks on the
city of Stalingrad, and where the
Russians have had to yield a num-
ber of times during the last few days.
But they have not yet given
up their city, and are not likely
to abandon it before it is one
colossal pile of ruins so that if
Hitler should take Stalingrad, his
victory will be an empty, a COM
pletely hollow, one.
There is still the question of sup
port of Russia by the United Ma
tions, and the problem of the Second
Front simply keeps on bobbing up
all the time. Consensus of informed
opinion leans toward the possibility
that there will be no Second Front
this year, but this is merely an opin-
ion, for no statement can be made;
no facts are known.
Last week Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Churchill delivered speeches dealing
with the progress of the war, and
they displayed quiet optimism alb
sent from most of their other ad-
dresses.
They were able to report that
on all fronts-in spite of spas
m0dic setbacks-the United Ma
tiOns are increas ng their
strength, and the axis powers
losing theirs. But it is still
necessary to carry on with top
vigilance, for although victory
does seem assured, it most GER
tainly is not just around the cor
ner.

his 31,000-mile aerial jaunt to many
remote countries, told the President

CHAPTER FOUR


WHY SHOULD l change
libby asked in reply to Tommy:
urgent appeal that she should stay
just as she was, the same sWee'
kid" he had known back home. "Ol
course l shan't change, Tommy
Except" she laughed, Ito grow
older-and wiser. I hope. You
wouldn't want me not to grow up
would you, DR.. Dare?" She as
sumed that light note, that laugh
ter, because he had turned sc
grave. 1t would be Tommy who
would change. Tommy's work
would change him. coming into
contact as he must with suffering
and poverty and death.
Funny. she hated to think of his
changing, too. 1t made her sad
startled. Why was it you wanted tc
keep things always as they were?
Not too WISE" Tommy said
But now his tone was light, too. "A
Woman needn't know too much,
Leave that to the man, my sweet,
AS for growing old-you'll always
be young to me"
In spite of his bantering tone,
that new look had crept into his
eyes, the look libby had surprised
there after that goodby kiss. She
said quickly, Thank you, kind sir.
I'll remind you of that some day
when I've lost my teeth and my
hair has turned gray. But what do
you say we step out and see what
we can do to some spaghetti. Hun

She stuck her head through the
doorway to tell Marg they We're

her to come along, but she knew
Marg couldn't. as she was waiting
for a call from the field. An air
hostess, as well as the pilots, was
rather like a doctor, always on duty
in a way. Schedules were subject
to change; n was supposed to be

She and Tommy had a gay time

turn serious again. And he did not

several hours later, at her door.

stood once more in Tibby's cheeks,
for maybe she could have claimed
HMM the moment Of that goodby
kiss. But it was a moment that had
passed. that need not return again.
"Okey, okey" Marg waved
a long arm in agreement or &C.
acknowledgement. But if he means
anything to you, in a sisterly fash
ion, you ought to look after him.

That bitter note stood out in
Marg's voice, that hard armor in
her young face.
She had been hurt. BY some man.
libby was sure Of it. Or by some
scheming female who had taken
her man away. Hurt so badly she
thought she would never get over
it. That was why she had given
away her hopes, with her chest fun
Of cherished things.
I'll keep an eye on him" libby
promised. She had told Tommy the
same. He needed someone to look
after him; she would be the one.
Maybe nice men did. Maybe their
very niceness made them gullible.
libby would not want Tommy to
be hurt.
He had asked her to promise not
to change. And she had thoughts Ut
the time that he would more prob
ably be the one. Now she had re-
solved not to let him be harmed in
other ways, when he, being the
man, should have been the one to
look out for her. He had said let the
man be the wiser, but nice men
were just little boys when it came
to certain matters-girls with such
beauty as Steena's: all things per-
