OUR WAR NEWS continues

AUX WAR NEWS continues
~ to be bright and encourag-
ing. Our spirits are thereby
buoyed up. Yet our hopes and
our fears remain almost identi-
cal. AS group of people with
national unity hardly surpassed
we are naturally exuberant with
constant announcements of new
victories. We take real pride in
the knowledge that the United
States has finally become one of
the strongest
National military powers
UNITY on the face of
Prevails the earth. We
are confident
that having emerged from the
wilderness Of preparation we
are able to assume the offensive
in nearly every theatre of war
and that this offensive will be
maintained to the end. We are
today living through an era
which will furnish one of the
brightest pages of American
history. And still we are a
peace-loving people. Even
though there is much in our
strength today to give us heart
and of which we might justly
be proud there can be for thou
sands of families only the deep
est grief and sadness preceded
by a sickening fear.
War is just that. The only
difference between victory and
defeat, as history quotes the
Duke of Wellington, is that de-
feat is more melancholy and "the
next dreadful thing to battle
lost is battle won." Losses
we must inevitably bear as
result of war. A high percent
age of the best of our young
men will lay down their lives
that we might win this war.
Thousands Of families have al
ready received the "regret to
inform you" telegram from the
War or Navy Departments and
thousands more families will re-
ceive like messages. And these
young men as well as their fami-
lies are writing today's history
in blood that
Writing future genera
History tons m ] g hit
In Blood enjoy whatever
can be salvaged
from a world torn to pieces by a
handful of men who have spent
their lives planning and making
war.
The normal person cannot
help but hate war. We have
changed from the worlds great
est nation of peace to one of the
worlds greatest military nations
but we haven't changed our

Wage Ceiling Deals
MOviedOm a Blow
HOLLYWOOD

HULL WOOD.
The Governments $25 900
ceiling on wages effective last
Friday, struck the screen in
dustry its first telling blow to-
day when plans of half a dozen
leading Aim and radio stars
were disclosed.
Business representatives of
Abbott and Costello, the
screens leading money-making
team, as we'll as agents for Bob
Hope. Jack Benny, Bing Crosby,
Red Shelton and several others,
were passing along word to
studio heads that their clients
expected to devote most of their
entertainment time in 1913 to
radio and camp shows. to the
exclusion of movie work.
All Of the players mentioned
crossed more than 100000
through combined radio and
picture performances in 1912.
A few, notably Crosby. Benny
and Hope, doubtless will show
returns of twice that amount
when United States tax returns
are checked. Under the new
law the amount q player can
gross, with tax deductions, Is
about $4,000. What happens
to earnings over that sum,
whether they revert to the en-
ployer or to Uncle Sam, has not
yet been made clear, legal ex-
perts in the studio say.
Performers with no radio con-
nections are expected to fall
into line and fulfill screen con-
tracts at the new wage ceiling,
but the loss Of such heavy box
ONCE draws IS Abbott and
Costello, Hope, Benny and
Crosby would be bitter medicine
for their respective studios.

A Frank Confession

The Army is to be commended
Tor It's frank acknowledgment that
American soldiers in Tunisia were
beaten in their first major engage
ment with the Germans because in
accurate intelligence reports had led
TO faulty disposition of troops.
1t is regrettable, of course, that we
lost a battle which might have been
won had the best use been made of
the forces at the disposal OF our
commanders. But it is also under
standable that mistakes should have
been made in the first encounter
With such reSourceful and expert
enced commander as Marshal Rom
mel
The really important thing is that
there has been no disposition to cover
up the mistake and shield those re-
SponSlble for it. With the error
acknowledged, the way is cleared for
removal of those responsible for it,
If that be deemed a desirable remedy
This is the way to convert initial
defeats into ultimate victory, and to
inspire confidence in the quality of
our military leadership

DeIusive and UnheIpfuI

From the Hutchinson (Kansl News
Put down as one of the most delusive.
unhelpful steps toward the solution of
the manpower problem the recent execu-
tive order seeming to establish a 48-hour
week. 1t will not have the effect of
creating new workers 1t was too linn
tied in its application and too leisurely
in its operation to have much effect of
any kind. What effect it will have will
only be to bring about an inflationary 30
per cent increase in wages in certain
selected plants.
The President in his order, was only
shadow boxing. Had he meant business,
48-hour week would have been made
standard the country over, business and
industry would have been given six
months to make the adjustment so that
no temporary unemployment would be
created. And straight time would have
been decreed for the standard 48 hours
with the hour rate to be arrived at by
dividing in each plant the average week
~ wage OF the past 90 days by the aver
age number Of hours worked during that
same period.
