Is never mentioned nowadays
by newspaper commentators or
persons IN high official positions
or even by the public. AS If n

up the subject.
The date is Aug IS.
1t Is the 45th anniversary of
the fail of Manila 10 American
arms.
ON THAT day IS years ago,
~ come the thirteenth Of this
month. our soldiers swung the
Stars and Stripes to the breezeS
Of the Pacific over the ancient
walls of the city and for almost
half century IT fioatcd proudly
there and in its shadow baSked
in peace Spd prosperity some
100000 people
And now what?
Now, as the triumphant tread
OF our fighting men thunderS on
enemy soil elsewhere, the flag
lies IN the dust in the Philip
pines and upwards of $4,000
American soldiers and civilians
are prisoners there, welt nigh

long years of imprisonment as
this nation fights 80 per cent

II may fight a 100 per cent war

OUNCE that day in April. 1912.
- when the weary heroes of
Bataan laid down their arms
after one of the most glorious
stands IN human history. they
have been in the hands of the
enemy, most of them undoubt-
eddy in prison compounds. OF
the conditions under which they
are held We know little or
nothing.
We know that this nation
treats its prisoners Of war well.
but the reports of the Japanese
system are not reaSSuring.
The war department has eSti-
mated the number that sur
rendered on Bataan at $4,000
American and Filipino combat
ants and several thousand non
combatantS and supply troops,
TO which must be added those
who later yielded on CorreGidor
and the thousands of civilians,
men and women taken prison
erS in Manila and other places
IN the islands.
Among the prisoners are high
officers of the American army,
including 1t Gen. Jonathan
Wainwright and II would be
interesting 10 know their reflec-
tons if they get news of the
steady advance of American
armies against the enemy thou

But ! can tell you of some
who do remember the forgotten
legion Of Luzon They are the

Special 10 THE DETROIT TINES

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 80
IVES. sir, the war has wrought
Il some odd changes around
these parts. Oleo has taken
the place OF butter; bread no
longer comes sliced; and grow
ing boys have taken their place
as husbands. It's wonderful
or all the peculiar tendencies
wrought by this war. the
Strangest is the almost unani-
nous landslide of women stars
toward the anneXing OF younger
men as life mates, the difference
ift ages ranging from few 10 i
years.
We're all for II. For one
thing it will put the SNUG old
bachelors right in their places.
Those cagey fellows who have
been relaxed in Reno and have
no notion Of being retied again
but who love 10 monopolize a
pretty woman. can now 60 roll
their old hoops.

Belly Acres.
But they're not laughing any
more.
For the ranches are paying
off in the choicest of wartime
dividends--butter, eggs. vege-
tables, chicken, beef and pork.

of values was Alan Curtis gifts
