Over

correspondents who have seen the
Fijians in action describe them as
the finest jungle fighters in the
world
Mjian commando troops are now
In action against the Japanese in
the Solomon Islands and have won
unqualified admiration for their
powers. A small party of Fijians,
sent to Guadacanal sometime be-
fore the Japanese were driven out,
did not suffer a single casualty, al.
though its bay of japanese killed
ran into three figures. Many
prisoners were also taken and
quantities of enemy stores and
equipment destroyed.
One story tells how an American
officer leading a patrol sent some
Fijians to reconnoiter an enemy
position. When the Fijians return

piled, There WE'RE six OF them,

So The Little Lady Produces Ham and-Whof?
1t takes pretty good kitchen engineering to make
half "a ham last FIVE meals for four persons.
The way my wife does it is not TO bring the ham
into the dining abattor. Nobody is allowed to fight
duel with it.
The ham is sliced in the kitchen by the sweet woman.
If the slice looks pink il is too thick.
Then she arranges it on the plate so that it looks
like than it actually is. You do this with thick
gravy. The family knows that most Of iceberg is
under water.
So they think the thing is true of ham under
gravy. Too late you start diving for the ham at the
shallow end of the plate 1t is then you realize that
the parsley is more of memorial wreath than garland
of triumph.
The ham makes its first shy appearance roast
1t is nibbled mousily No seconds permitted Drool
ing is in order of seniority.
That's the main meal In the second time at the
bat the ham is creamed with potato casserole.
The third time it is cooked it is reincarnated
western omelet. 1t is being tanned from the meat
into the leather stage.
It's fourth appearance is New England boiled
dinner with carrots onions tomatoes and potatoes And
the fifth meal, heares, you autographed
picture of the ham a child.
You still have the hambone and its cooperative
residue. take that out and bury it in the backyard
Each night we dig it up and fight it.
In the final stage all that is left is the ham syrup

WASHINGTON, Nov. 80
w The disastrous reverses
sustained by the New Deal
party in the recent elections,
which were determined, from
Hartford 10 Louisville and San
Francisco almost wholly on do
nestle issues. have enormously
increased the Importance Of the
soldier vote in foreign countries.
BY November. 1914. the num-
Der of men in the armed forces,
and the women of the various
services also, will have reached
formidable mum bers. There
may be enough of them TO de-
termine The presidential cleo
ton. and il is significant that
ardent New Dealers in the
Senate are sponsoring the bill
10 extend facilities Of the ballot
10 them.
But the idea is meeting with
siiCSsii .,e,s<.,,ecs s.-ryfSlsfence among
conservative Democrats in the
House that their party in that
body is split right down the
back.
THERE are two main issues,
Il state rights and the unwill-
ingnesS OF he authoritarian
wing Of the party to propa-
gandize the soldiers, sailors and
marines on foreign duty through
the medium of Elmer Davis
Office Of War Information.
The extent to which Mr..
Davis already has used his
propaganda machine TO popu-
larize President Roosevelt has
been completely exposed in the
House.
Rep. Rankin of Mississippi Is
leading the fight against the
LuCas-Green Senate soldier vot-
ing bill. sponsored in the House
by Rep. Morley Of Texas, and
has submitted a substitute which
has brought about a deadlock IN
tire committee on elections
The Senate bill would recog-
nize the theory of federal cleo
tons. in violation Of the Ian
guage of the Constitution, The
Rankin bill would preserve the
rights Of the states in establish
ing election qualifications under
the Constitution, by simply
recommending 10 the state The

In additional time, il seems TO
them. would be justified by the
saving of vast numbers OF
lives.
The setting Of a "deadline"
for air power is also dangerous
for another reason. 1t may
have the effect of inducing
those in command of air power,
in their eagerness TO meet the
time limitation, TO throw In all
their chips. They may be
tempted to stage an about air
offensive prematurely.
For instance, official an
nouncement has been made that
new and vastly stronger aircraft
will be put into action in the
near future. A headline" which
did not permit the full appli.
cation of that improved equip
ment would, on the face of it,
be Wastefu1.
WE BUILT huge armies and
w navies and only after they
were built did we realize that
they would have to remain
largely unemployed until We
could acquire sufficient air
power to destroy the opposing
air power and provide an i'm
pregnable roof over the invasion
forces. Even then we continued
10 starve air power, keeping
it until February, 1912. on
priorities below battleships and
even below army trucks.
AS a result, air power today
is mounting an offensive against
Germany with inadequate and
relatively mediocre means. 1t
is doing a magnificent job in
slowing down the German war
machine despite these handi-
caps. From the viewpoint of
strategic air power, it would
be more logical TO increase the
air potential, whatever the cost
in time, rather than to fix an
artificial headline"

Is gibberish. Heretofore every
offensive undertaken prema-
turely, that is to say without
the necessary preponderance of
force or in the wrong place, has
proved disastrous.
Germany in Europe can be
looked upon as a fortress sur
rounded by a deep moat. 1t can
either be demolished by artil-
lery fire, softening 1t for the
kill, or il can be stormed across
the moat by foot soldiers with
bayonets.
Now suppose the artillery
available is not adequate for
the job, largely because those
in charge of the siege failed TO
foresee the need for il. and the
attack is consequently slowed
up. Would il be reasonable for
the high command to set a
deadfine. after which the for
tress would be attacked with
bayonets no matter how many
millions drowned and were cut
down by enemy fire?
THE only sensible procedure,
l. il seems to airmen. would
be to speed up the production
of artillery-in this case air
power-so that the fortress may
be reduced to rubble before it
is stormed directly. The cost
