Pilots who circled the Jap bases
apparently were still in the con-
Struction stage. Only one airfield
was completed and it was too short
for heavy long-range bombers to
take off from, the pilots said.
The Jap construction timetable
evidently was upset in the north
Pacific by the loss of Attu and the
threatened loss of Kiska. This was
indicated by the fact that bases at
Imai zaki and Kataoka near Para
mushiru were not finished.
Further evidence that the Japs
were caught flatfooted by reverses
in the Aleutians was seen in the
large amount of shipping in the

We have always detested crickets

While 1t. Harry M. Laney was

Mrs. Sarah Nanomantube and he
killed cricket. So that isn't news,
eh? Well, that cricket had tape
worm.
The cricket was dead but the
tapeworm was alive. They noticed
the worm was about two inches
long when they first killed the
host cricket. Two days later the
tapeworm was foot long and still
alive.
oh, we'll, argue then but before
you get too enthusiastic go down

EDITORIAL OF THE WEEK
Selected each week from Army camp papers)

So you're sick of the way the counrys rum and you're
Sick of the way the ratoning's done,
And you're sick of standing around in line, you're SICK
You say-well that's just fine.
So am sick of the and the heat and I'm sick of the
Feel of my aching feet
And Pm sick of the mud and the jungle flies and Pm
Sick of the stencil when the night mists rise.
And Pm sick of the sirens wailng shrek, and I'm sick
Of the groans of the wounded and weak
And I'm sick of the sound of the bombers dive and Pm
Sick of seeing the dead alive
I'm sick of the and the noise and the din Pm sick
Of the taste of food from tin,
And Pm sick of the slaughter-Pm sick to my SOUL I'm
Sick of playing killers role.
Pm sick of blood and of death and the smell and I'm
Sick of myself we'll
But I'm scker still of tryan't rule, and conquered
Lands where the wild beasts drool.
And I'm cured darned quick when think of the day when
All this hell will be out of the way
When of this will have been in vain and the
Lights of the world will blaze again,
And things will be they were before and kids will
Laugh in the streets more,
And the Axis flags will be dipped and furled and God
Looks down on peaceful world

RUTH TAYLOR SAYS.
THE WOUNDED DON'T HATE"

A newspaper man brought that line back from the
oatteteds 1t was news in his eyes for it had come as
surprise to him that those who had been hurt most
mated least that those men, wounded unto DEATH had
risen above hatred of those who had struck them down
lie went furter And he found that where the hand of
war had been most heavily felt there less bitterness
less desire for revenge than where had not touched
lie could have learned it from the refugees Those who
lost most talked least and hated least Those who got out
safely with some possessions and found only their accus-
toned way of life disrupted were the most angry
50 1t always is Those who suffer- learn from suffer
ing They see what the act of cruelty does to the cruel
They know the warpng Of spirit injustice vents upon the
UNJUST lhey sense the erosion Of soul intolerance sets
fostering in the noerant They have learned that hatred
boomerang and that he who hates lives only as the
hated.
The wounded don't hate" They who have brushed
wings with death have learned te truth; that life can only
be saved by willingness to live and die in a good cause
that no man veth unto himself for himself that Civ
ing does not mpoverish that humility and mercy are more
important than ambition and pride; and that righteous
Indignation can be devoid of personal hatred
The wounded don't hate This does not mean with
drawa from the battle but resistance to any weakening
OF the spirit through those dagger thrss of prejudice
and resentment which disable the hardest soul
THE wounded don't hate" Not only on the battle
fields must this be true but here in the midst of the
tradeges in the battle lines at home Can we who are
safe at home have less sefconol than our boys over
seas Can hate neighbors at home or abroad? We
can and must despse and condemn the evil deed We can

RACIAL PEACE PRESCRIPTION

The following is quoted from the recent statement on
the essentials of good peace by the administrative board
of the National Catholic Welfare Conference voice of the
Roman Catholic hierarchy in the United States:
In the Providence of God, there among millions
of fellow citizens of the Negro
We owe to these fellow citizens who have contribut-
ed largely to the development of country and for
whose welfare history imposes special obligation of
Justice to see that they have i'll fact the rights which
given to them in our Constitution.
This not only political equality but also fair
economic and educational opportunities, just share in
public welfare projects good housing without exploitation
and full chance for the social advancement Of their
When given their rights in fact well as in law they
will prize with national heritage and not lend ear
agtators whose real objective not to improve but to
destroy way of living.
That seems to to state the entire Negro question
as it faces Americans today and to state in the ewest
possible words We do not see how it could be improved
upon; how all of could do ourselves bigger single
favor than to take that statement to heart and strive
put it into practice all over the United States.

A DOG PROTECTED ME
A highland moccasin once crept
Into the cabin where | slept,
My Jacko barked and growled at
him,
And, thus, that argument of
them
Saved me from sudden death.
Jackso was one he could not
charm,
Nor would he let him do me harm,
Not long as he had breath.
They say he was not in the plan,
And, yet, a dogs a friend to man;
For man, a dog will die.
| never shall withhold the praise
Due to the dog for his kind ways;
His worth we can't deny.
