ALEXANDER RATED ONE OF 10 BEST
Four Other Military Lead- CTS in Charmed Circle on
 Performances Basis
BY HARRISON SALISBURY Limited Press Staff Correspondent

London, March 5. (UP) --- The tides of war in fateful year which saw the initiative shift from Axis to Allied hands lifted Ave new mil- itnry leaders to the ranks of the 10 best on the basis Of perform nnces in this war
 Exactly year after the United Press compiled it's first list of the 10 best generals, from a cross.sec- ton of competent military opinion in London, half of the men on tho honor roll have yielded their places to new faces, Q survey showed to- dny.
 General Coughs Mac Arthur, Mar shal Erwin Rommel, Marshal Sem yon' Tlmoshonko, Generallssimo Chiang Kni-Shek, General Sir Harold R. l., c. Alexander, Lieu tenant General Sir Bernard l..

Wavell Of Britain, General Tomoyukl Yama. shita of Japan and Field Marshal derd Won Runstedt of Germany.
 One of the most significant dc. velopments in the shifts is the rise Of heads-up military teams, of which the most notable Is Montgomery and Alexander.

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

OF all the little people who live
in the Green Forest Whitefoot the
Wood Mouse, own cousin to Danny
Meadow Mouse, is one of the small
est, the most beautiful and the most
timid They say of Whitefoot that
he actually tries to run away from
his own shadow. and that the sound
Of his own voice makes him Jump.
OF course We don't believe this. It
Is just way of saying that he is
very, very timid. But I guess you
and would be just as timid were
we in Whitefoot's place. You see
he is such little fellow, such a dear
little fellow! He has no way of pro-
tecting himself except by running
away and hiding. He is too little
to fight. So it isn't that he is a
coward that makes him so timid.
It Is because he knows If he is
caught he can do nothing to help
himself. and because he knows that
night and day sharp eyes are watch
ing for him. keen ears are listen
ing for him, and wonderful noses
are trying to find him.
You see there are many people
who are fond Of Whitefoot, very
fond indeed. Not In the way that

for Hooty the Owl to be abroad.
1t is his play time. So Whitefoot
ran about and frolicked all by him
self and was quite as happy as If
there were no such things as hungry
neighbors with a liking for tender
wood mice. Suddenly he heard heavy
steps approaching and lodged un-
der an old piece OF bark. Nearer
came those steps and Whitefoot held
his breath. Peeping out he saw
Buster Bear. Right away he noticed
that something was wrong with
Buster, He kept turning his head
from side to side and looking be-
hind him uneasily. All the time he
kept shifting and shifting. but when
he did this he held his head high.
Whitefoot gave the tiniest sigh of
relief. He isn't looking for me,
that is sure thought he. IF he
was he would be shifting along the
ground instead of up in the air.
wonder what ails him, anyway. He
acts as If he were afraid"
Buster passed so close that he
almost stepped on that piece of
bark under which Whitefoot was
hiding, and Whitefoot held his
breath. The instant Buster was past
Whitefoot decided that it was no
place for him. Buster might take it
into his head to come back. Just a
few feet away was the entrance to
a secret little tunnel, He would be
safer there. Whitefoot darted out
from under the piece of bark and
scurried across to that secret tun-
mel, and as he did so his scampering
little feet rustled some dead leaves.
Then surprising thing happened.
With a frightened Wool" Buster
Bear gave a great jump and ran
away. Whitefoot could hardly be-
lieve what his eyes told him to be
true. He, little Whitefoot the Wood
Mouse, had frightened great big
Buster Bear and made him rum
A few minutes later he saw Buster
come back very stealthily with q
sheepish look on his face, and he
knew that Buster had guessed who
had frightened him, and he was wise
enough to remain hidden. But all
the rest OF that night he chuckled
happily every time he thought of
how he actually had frightened
Buster Bear. You see he didn't know
about the other frights Buster had
had that day. and how jumpy they
had left his nerves.

you wonder that Whitefoot is very

On the day when Buster Bear had
twice been frightened by Farmer
Browns Boy, and really had no
cause for being frightened. White
foot himself had twice been badly
frightened, but. unlike Buster, he
had had real cause for fright. Once
he had failed to see Redtail the
Hawk watching from the top Of a
tree and had ventured out for
bite to eat. Redtail's great claws
had missed him by so little that 1t
was five minutes before Whitefoot
could make himself believe that he
was really safe. Once Billy Mink
had chased him into a hole just
wee bit too small for Billy to fol-
low. Both times Whitefoot had been
terribly frightened. but In a little
while he had forgotten his fright.
They happened every day of his
life. Once they we're over there was
no use in thinking about them. He
had escaped. for which he was duly
thankful. so why think about them?

Shadows were beginning to creep
through the Green Forest, he went
out again. This is the time of day
Whitefoot loves best, and in which
he feels safest. 1t is little too late
