YANKEE SOLDIERS

Bern. May 11.-CUP)-The Swiss
press today credited American SOL
diers with the decisive blow" in
TuniSia while dispatches said the
Axis fully realized its dangerous
position resulting from the loss Of
North Africa.
THE Axis command made seri-
GUS blunder when it failed to at
tribute a just value to the bravery
and courage of American soldiers, "
the Bern Bund said.
despite Berlin's erroneous judg-
ment, it was the American soldier
who dealt the decisive death blow to
Axis forces in North Africa. We be-
lieve it also extremely important
that besides possessing first class
soldiers the American army also
boasts Of excellent command"
The Ankara correspondent Of the
Basic Acknowledging quoted we'll
informed political sources as believ-
ing that Germany might try to i'm
prove its position by attacking one
of the few neutrals left in Europe.
The Nazis. he said, we're straining
to better their relations with Tur-
key.
German quarters make no bones
about the loss of Tunisia placing its
southern Axis partner in a most
dangerous position" the National
zeitung's Berlin correspondent said,
The Zurich Tat reported increased
Nazi invasion fears.

more as the war progresses we
will feel the pinch, but we have
the hope Of victory and peace.
Let us all endeavor to prove
worthy of the sacrifices made by
our heroic dead Let us firmly
resolve that they will not have
died in vain. And let us promptly
meet our obligations to those
heroes, by cheerfully and cour-
ageously fulfilling any and all de-
mands made upon us by our lead
ers. Thus and only thus can we
and our democratic allies attain
deserved Victory over those
despotic leaders who for their
own selfish ACKNOWLEDGMENT would
rob all peoples of their God given
rights to "the four freedoms of
humanity"
Moral Courage
We are all soldiers of one kind
or another. To those of us who
cannot serve, we can do equally
as patriotic work in our own home
and cities. We must not forget
that the men fighting in far-flung
lands are our brothers, sons, hus-
bands and Sweethearts. That
everything we sacrifice and every
thing we do for the advancement
OF Victory bring just a little
closer the time when "the lights
will go on again all over the
world and our dear ones will be
returned to us. There are heroes
of peace as well as heroes of war
and If our roll in the world is a
humble and seemingly small one,
still it is necessary to the smooth
operation OF the entire machine.
There is too, that element that
we can all give and that is moral
courage, the ability to keep a
cheerful countenance while I'M
dergoing hardships and making
sacrifices.
Today, more than ever before,
recalls that great Statesmans
speech, Abraham Lincoln, when
he said with malice toward none,
with charity for all; with firm
ness in the right as God gives us
to see the right, let us strive on
to finish the work we are in; to
bind up the nations wounds; to
care for him who shall have borne
the battle and for his widow and
his orphan-to do all which may
achieve and cherish a just and
lasting peace among ourselves and
with all nations
We Eere at NeWington will
strive to care for the wounded
that will eventually be hospital
lied here: we will strive to finish
the work we are in and to care for
him who shall have borne the bat
tie and for his widow and orphan:
We will strive to carry on the great
work started here by Miss Bren-
nan and Major Tom Bannigan
and Doctor Maher. AS these trees
continue to grow and develop in
years to come they will increase
in tenderness the memory of our
departed loved ones whose men,
VIZ iLiBClo vi, anu WILL always
linger as long as there is a New
ington.
In accepting these trees as Man
ager, I 90 so with the deepest
gratitude of General Frank T.
Hines, Administrator of Veterans
Affairs at Washington and the
Veterans Administration and to
express to Jean Cargill Nurses
Post No. 1919, the American Legion,
my sincere appreciation for their
efforts in making this Memorial
possible as a tribute to our dead
and in selecting these beautiful
hospital grounds for their lasting
