What About Morale?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

What is civilian morale? How i'm
portant is it? Is it really vital to our
conduct Of the war?
How important it is was answered
( for us in France There were not
many traitors among the people Of
france. No one who knows the French
can believe that But there were far
too many self-seeking patriOts-men
who wanted their own way, their man
ner Of living protected; power groups
pressure groups trying to force their
own ideas on every one else The min
ute these sef-seeking patriots drew
apart into little groups, they left
great gaps through which the unified
enemy could sweep in. They had lost
the feel Of the common good, without
which the Maginot line was as a wall
Of tissue
How vital it is was answered for us
at Pearl Harbor. We condemn the com
placent attitude of our defense, but we
| overlook the fact that it was the COM
placency Of the country as a whole
that was reflected. The blame for de-
feat lies upon those who put party
politics and personal ambition before
patliotism-and, since we are the
voters whose word, in the last analy-
sis, is law, the blame is on our should
ers.
Civilian morale is the morale Of you
and me, and of our neighbors at
home and at work. 1t cannot be legis,
lated. 1t cannot be decreed. 1t is the
one piece Of war work we all can work
at, twentyfour hours day
The way to keep civilian morale
high is simple. First, there are the
"dont's" We must refrain from I'M
guarded speech. We must not pass on
rumors. We must not spread hatreds.
We must not act jittery. We must not
show fear nor must we be fooIhardy.
We must not permit ourselves to be
governed by our prejudices toward
any group. We must avoid descriptive
argument and controversy, whether
it be between class, race or creed.
Second, there are the dos" We
must strive for emotional stability.
We must show self-control. We must
remain calm and resolute against all
subversive propaganda. We must re
member that we are Americans first,
and accept as Americans all who be-
lieve in the ideals Of freedom, regard

One of the Proofs
OF Survival of
Marblehead Is Here
Howard Sm0use Home on Thirty
Day Leave After Surviving
Battle on Cruiser

As certain PROOF tnat the IT, S. s.
light cruiser Marblehead was not
sunk in the southwest Pacific ocean,
as claimed by the Japanese upon sey-
eral occasions, but that it did sail
half way round the world to bring
hcr wounds of war home for healing,
Howard Smouse, one of the members
Of her crew of about 500, arrived at
his home in Oakland on Sunday
night
He was just in time to greet his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel p.
Smouse, for Mothers Day,
Home on a thirty-day leave, fol-
lowing the arrival of the Marblcaead
in an eastcoast port for repairs.
Howard is spending this week mostly
/ in the secluded spots that he liked SO
well when he lived here as u young
lad Sang Run and Shaggy mountain,
and the Youghiogheny river have
/ given him more pleasure this week, he
says, than all the islands Of the
Netherlands, East Indies and other
Pacific island groups which he visited
at various times within the past two
years.
Howard joined the United States
Navy January 3. 1899, and after
preliminary period Of training was
sent on the L. S. S. Henderson to the
Asiatic fleet, where he was placed on
board the Marblehead. He has stuck
with the ship since that time, being
one of the oldest members of the
crew in point of service. He is rated
as a coXswain and was captain Of a
gun crew, firing one Of the siN-mch
broadside guns.
The newspapers within the past
week have been full OF accounts Of
the battle which the Marblehead went
through in the Macassar Strait Capt.
Arthur G. Robinson, its skipper tell
ing how his ship underwent three
hours of incessant bombing by at least
thirty-seven japanese planes. The
ship was hit directly with two bombs,
one forward and one aft, and near
miss badly damaged the under part
OF the ship. The ship lost fifteen men
killed in the bombing but made port
in the Netherland Indies where temp
orary repairs were made, then pro-
ceeded to Ceylon for additional re
pairs. Later at South Africa the ship
was made seaworthy for its trip back
to the United States. Its trip from
the place of the battle totaled 1900
miles.
During the battle one of the Jap
planes, which was hit by the Houston
tried Il suicide dive ON the Marble
head, but the gunners riddled it with
anti-aircraft fire causing it to drop
into the sea within thirty feet Of its
mark.
The battle was one previous to the
engagement in which the Houston
was sunk.
me Japanese nave insisted lhdI IIle
Marblehead was sunk by planes Of the
japanese navy, according to proof
which leaves no doubt whatever.
Therefore the ship which has re-
turned to North America is ghost
ship"
Howard is sure that he did not re-
turn upon ghost ship. During the
fight Howard assisted in carrying
ammunition to the anti-aircraft guns,
as there was no need of the big broad
side guns. He was unframed from the
struggle, although a number were
wounded by shrapnel. The ship was
on fire several times.
