Selected Poem
SEANIEN

SEAMEN Helen Rowland Prommel in the New York Times) Some men go down to the sea in ships While some men lean to see How sWeetly a christened cruiser slips Down greased ways to the sea. Som men must stand on the rolling decks, And some must stand on the rolling decks, And some must stand on shore To strain their eyes till the ship is gone And they can see no more. The heart of each is faithful and proud As a seamans heart should be- The shore-bound seaman who builds the ships, And the one who sets to sea.

 The big battles are yet to be joined. but when they are joined 1t will be the army with the extra weight of material that will con- quer. The extra gun. the extra ammunition, the extra plane-we must be sure that the extra weight is on our side.

WAR Then AND NOW
BY DAN PARKER

Distance, which Is supposed to
lend enchantment, has had quite
the opposite effect on my memories
OF army life in the first World War.
Every day brings me additional
proof of the fact that, compared
with the modern fighting nephew Of
Uncle Sam, the American soldier
OF 1917-18 vintage was a poorly
equipped, badly-trained, ill-fed
pawn of fate whose only advantage
over the 1943 model was that the
war was almost over when he got
into it.
The soldier of 1913 is a specialist,
chosen for his particular line of
duty because of special aptitude for
that type of work. After he re-
ceives his basic training, he is as
signed to camp or specialists
school where he learns all there
Is to be known about his particu-
lar line of work. When he has
become an expert in his line, he is
sent overseas for further training
and seasoning. By this time his
morale and physique have been
built up until he is formidable
fighting man, not just a trans
planted civilian with a uniform.
1t would probably shock soldiers
of the modern us. Army to learn
that, as a member of combat unit,
I arrived in France in 1918 without
ever having handled rifle or any
other kind of weapon. 1 was SER
geant of 81 nm. gun platoon in
the headquarters company of an in
fantry regiment that didn't ow ma
ST nm. gun even when the armis-
tice was signed.
