they took from other people. They lose
only the lives of the German seamen
aboard when these ships are sunk.
They know the names and silhouettes
of many of the ships used, and they will
sink them on sight.
1t is very dangerous to go too close to
strange ship. 1t might be Nazi raider
disguised as Spanish merchantmen and
he might fire some tin fish from tubes
installed below the water line.
This gamble the Nazis are taking is
interesting from both sides, particularly
since Japan's entrance into the war re-
lieved the Germas of working in the Pa
cific Ocean.

Pacific Front

The glorious stories added to the his
tory of America during this war have
had their origin for the most part in the
war for the Pacific and Asia-Bataan,
Guadalcanal and the naval war around
it, Coral Sea. Midway, Papua. But the
fact is that the far-spreading battlefield
where those great events were recorded
is for the time being the secondary
battlefield in the American scheme. The
fight in the Pacific is a fight to keep
Japan from spreading beyond the vast
area which encompasses her present en-
pire. China thinks the region Of the
Pacific and Asia should be the primary
battlefield and last week Nine. Chang
Kai-shek, visiting Washington after
long stay in a New York hispital, told
Congress why:
Let us not forget that Japan in her
occupied areas has greater resources at
her command than Germany. Let us
not forget that the longer Japan is left
in undisputed possession of these re-
sources, the stronger she must become.

that the interests of all are best served
by beating Hitler first And it is on that
basis the war is being fought. The
Allies are but nibbling at Japan on the
Jap empires fringes. But that nibbling
is costly to the enemy. The Navy re-

 They took the automobile to the 'sherif's office at Mineola, and went through the tedious business of discovering that its wheel, doors and driving apparatus bore, amply, the fingerprints of Vaughan Dun bar-and of nobdoy else.
 For the first time, Lieutenant Thatcher seemed discouraged. And the metropolitan area alarm was extended to become a national alarm.
 The police, and his own news paper, continued the search for Bills tewart, proving somewhere over the embattled continent of Europe. And back at Stone House, Lieutenant Thatcher lifted his cocktail glass to his lips, sighed swallowed sparingly, and regard ed Captain Meehan with care.

 We shall consider the point" Lieutenant Thatcher said. T am glad you brought it up, Miss Mer- riwether."
 And the telephone rang. They could hear 1t sharp and loud from the hall. The butler came to say it was for Lieutenant Thatcher. And Lieutenant Thatcher heard through the receiver that Vaughan Dunbar's Packard roadster had been found. ,sJ
 When they got to the place where 1t had been found after 9rush- ing drive -. they muttered to them selves, Thatcher and Meehan and Henry PrentiSs and Mitchell Grace, and the burden of their muttering was that Vaughan Dunbar was a very clever devil indeed. parking lot in Garden City - about 10 miles from Stone House and directly southward across the island = a lot that was very large, situated behind huge apartment building, and without regular att tendants. Sandwiched in its niche of space among more than a hum dred other automobiles was the automobile of Vaughan Dunbar. But it was not easy to recognize.
 For, lashed to either side from hood to rear bumper. there were canvas signs held in rigid wooden frames. The signs were white. And upon them the lettering was crimson:

 "That is the extraordinary note this man left on the desk. It may be the rawlings of crazy man, of course. But you see, we can't depend on that. He may really have known your father years ago. And so 1t Is important for us to hear everything you can tell us about Colonel Merriwether's past lifes'
 she l1esitated. She hesitated long enough for the others in the room = Fred West, first, and then the rest immediately after him - to get to their feet and move toward the door. But Cynthia called them back.
 "There is not much" she be- gan. And then, in a very tired, small voice, she told all of them the same story which she had told Vaughan Dunbar on that night be- side the pool. ....
 When she was done, there was complete silence for a little time. Even Lieutenant Thatcher seemed unable to pick up the thread of his talk, and Captain Meehan was lost in a study. It was such a pqathetic and such a little story. And told so few things about Colonel Merriwether.
 Henry Prentiss had sat with his chin on his fists, looking at the floor, while she told it, and he did not Nit his head now. Mitchell Grace was flushed with embar rassment, as If he had been forced against his will to witness the tlnveiling of privacies. Anne started to cry. and Fred West took her arm in hard grip, and she stopped.
 Lieutenant Thatcher coughed, and stood up. and went to the window. Then he sat down again.
 Thank you. Miss Merriwether,' . he said. "You have helped us great deal" Which was certainly not quite the truth. Captain Mee- han nodded. ~...
 He spoke for the first time, in his cold, methodical voice. "Is there anything at all. any small or ap- parently unimportant thing, which you have not told us?
