Three Aspects At Emden

Three things stand out conspicuously in ac-
counts of the battle over Emdea, the northern
German port.
Most prominent of all, is the striking superb
ority of the American air force over the de-
Tense forces sent up by the enemy. The Luft-
waite had no chance of turning the raiders
back Their effort to do so cost them 1888
planes Against this, the attackers lost but
the comparative air power of the Allies and
of Germany?
second important aspect of the daylight
raid is that En1den, where the Germans main
tanned one of their greatest U-boat bases, was
largely robbed of it's chief value. Emden's
port can contribute little for long time to
come to Germany's undersea warfare.
The third item is the ruthless shooting of
American airmen parachuting from stricken
planes. It is reported that German flers ma
chinegunned our men suspended in midair
after being forced from their planes.
This is not the first time reports Of such
brutality have come from the European wal
zone. But however often the story it told il
loses none of its shocking effect.
It is hard to understand how men, even ir
the heat of battle, can shoot soldiers unable
to defend themselves. Clearly it is privilege
reserved for supermen. Normal mortals coule
not be forced to do it.

highly unsatisfactory without leavening of

Moreover, this crytostegia rubber was az.

Remember Bataan

Without going so far as Senator Chavez of
New Mexico has gone, many will agree with
him in taking exception to the War Depart
ment's opposition 10 regular promotions for
men OF Bataan now in Japanese prison camps
The letter from War Secretary stimson to
the Military Affairs Committee did not if
seems to us, intend to infer that there was
any substantial proportion of yellow bellies,

ed most unfortunately. and so far as we are
concerned its logic was decidedly unsound.
Mr. Stimson opposed regular promotions
for men taken prisoner in the Philippines.
Wake and Guam campaigns because, he said.
''in the case Of captured personnel there is
no way to distinguish between those men who
by virture OF having fought to the last, might
be deserving of a reward in the form Of pro-

and moral beatings beyond the capacity of
/ human nature to absorb
| # will be remembered-we hope-that these
men fought on and on and on, while they and
the world were told that reiaforcements and re-
lief planes and guns and munitions were on
the way though insiders realized from the
beginning that no reinforcements, no relief
no substantial supplies could reach them.
They were sacrificed, necessarily but cold
bloodedly, to hold' up the Japs' progress as
much and as long as possible They were
suicide rear-guard forces, and they fought
long after they had suffered the shock of learn
ing that notwithstanding all the glowing
promises they had heard, they were completely
on their own.
There may have been few towards among
them. and a few at least ordinarily courageous
men who broke under the strain. We haven't
heard of such but suppose there were? Are
the others to be penaEzed Oh that chance?
Mr. Stimson could be reminded of general
whose promotion with big skip-rank was
recommended to Congress after he had violat-
ed one of the most fundamental rules of war
fare, not involving courage but raising ques-
tons of his temperamental aptitude.
Are the heros of Bataan, OF Wake and of
Guam less worthy Than he?

Allied Fleet

Navy Secretary Knox says that on Thanks
giving Day the Allies had as many merchant
ships at sea as they possessed at the begin
ming OF the war. Uncertainty what Mr.. Knox
meant by " the countries now composing the
United Nations makes it difficult to tell lust
how far we have come back.
AS of Jan. 1, 1941, Great Britain, the United
States and Russia possessed 4OeG vessels of
at least 1000 gross tons each, aggregatine a.
$4,000 gross tons Norway, Holland, France
and Greece, whose governments in exile are
generally included among Unitee Nations. had
ITO ships aggregating 9,525, COG gross tons.
1t is worthy of note that the whole of the
marvellous output of American yards, plus the
equally praiseworthy if smaller output of
British yards, from September, 1899 to late
November, 1913, have lust sufficed to replace
ships sunk by the Axis. And remember that
when most of those chips went down they
took cargo with them. and that cargo was
badly needed and mas had to he replaced,

Revising The Draft

REORGANIZATION of selective service lists
with the purpose of searching cut additional
unmarried young men to fill new quotas and
so spare fathers from being called save in the
last extremity is clearly needed. Any step
in this direction will be well taken.
There are many men classified as At whose
defects are so trivial that they would not in
terfere with competent military service. The
proposal to set aside restrictions which keep
them out of the armed forces ought to be
adopted.
Then there are many men enjoying de-
fernent who by right should be in uniform.
Washington, for example IS said to be over
flowing with this Improvement employees
who occupy no position vital tc the prosecu-
ton of the war or the conduct OF the govern
ment's business. They too should be in train
ing for combat duty.
With the draft program solely in \ hands
of the Selectve Service Chief, General Her.
shey, since President Roosevelt, by signing
the so-called Father Draft bill, cracked
down on Paul McNutt the manpower straw
boss, there is some reason to hope the con-
fusion and Irregularities which have charac-

Daily Praye,
FOR FIRST THINGS FIRST

We confess before Thee, o
Searcher of Hearts that we have
spent our powers upon second
rate things. Trivial pleasures,
chattering talks, petty ambitions,
carnal qualifications, and transi-
tory interests have occupied our
lives. Noble thoughts, selfless
deeds and high purposes have
been crowded out. We have not
worn the dignity and high aims of
immortals called to live greatly
in a great time. We have not
sought first the Kingdom of God.
Forgive us, o forgive us, merciful
Father. Restore unto us the con-
sciousness that we are called to
walk as Thy sons. In this hour of
trial and destiny. teach us to put
first things first. Save us from
smallness. Let not fear or panic
or greed or self-engrossment sever
us from playing the great part
Thou has assigned Thy sons in
the present universal testing of
souls. May we be loyal to all the
detectives that are Thy clear will.
Thus may we, and all our dear
ones in the country's service, be
good soldiers in the Cause. of
Christ. Amen.-W.T.E.

anecdote to the Heifetz career.
Grace Moore's well known di-

comprehensive antics of Nelson

Taubman's declaration that the
New York critics did not dislike
Barbirolli is at least open to ques-

And there is Taubman's inter-
view with Damrosch on the SUBJ

the usual things our composers
were ''promising," and they were
serious" and so on. what do
you really think of them?" Taub-
man asked, and Damrosch re-
piled, Il hate them.''
He contrasts this with Erich
Lelnsdorf's attitude when, while
preparing a half-hour broadcast

and two short pieces by Paul Cres-
