represented to him an ideal dog.
Since he was, at the time, a great
Dane breeder, his ideal combined
some of the virtues of that breed
with some of those from other
breeds more or less allied to it. such
as the bulldog and the Boston. He
tried to create on paper a dog of
reasonable size, great muscular
strength, with none of the grotes-
queries or weaknesses of the breeds
he knew and liked. Showing his fin
i1hed drawing to his wife, she
stated that she had just seen a pic
ture of just such a dog in a current
dog magazine. When Jack recov-
cred, they set out to locate the dog
in the magazine, and ended by buy

In regard to the designation OF

Month

WASHINGTON, July %. = Air

striking Jap defenses with unpre-
cedented fury. made 10 attacks on
Kiska Monday and Tuesday, the

brought the total for the month to

paration for an expected conquest
of the Aleutian Island.
The raid on Wake Island was in

The action against Kiska totaled

Monday attack. One Warhawk

Allied commanders have been so
instructed.
Churchill said no overtures for
a peace were received from Musso-

ITALIAN-AMERICAN TIES

We respectfully submit this, first,
because the United States has great
ties with Italy. Many of her former
sons live here. New York City alone
has greater Italian population
than Rome. Millions of our Ital-
ian relatives in Italy have conf
dence, trust and love for the Unit
ed States They look to this coun-
try as their second home.
Unfortunately this is not true OF
relations between Italy and Eng
land.
Unfortunately italy and England
have shared a certain degree of
rivalry in the Mediterranean. This
rivalry is no basic obstacle to flu
ture friendship and never worried
us until famed into flame by an
Unsuitable dictator But his poison,
dropped year after year into the
veins of the Italian people for two
decades, cannot be extracted over
night. Thus it remains an unfortu-

major Robert g. Allen ON active duty.)

GTON.-Herewith is a
suggestion to the leaders of Ameri-
can citizens of Italian descent by
which this columnist believes we
can save the lives of American boys,
British boys, and Italian boys. If
I were Mayor LaGuardia, Mayor
Rossi of San Francisco, Judge Pc
cora of New York or Congressman
D'Alesandro of Baltimore would
make an appeal to Prime Minister
Churchill along the following lines
To the Prime Minister of Eng
land:
We Americans of Italian descent
respectfully submit a proposal which
we believe will save the lives of
British and American boys now
fighting in italy. We also believe it
will take Italy more quickly out OF
a war which she never should have
entered and which the bulk of the
italian people hate and deplore.
Our proposal is meant as no re-
Election upon your great leadership,
without which the British Empire
and its allies would not be where
they are today. To anyone less
broad-gauged in mind and vision
we should hesitate to make this
suggestion.
However, we believe that if the
British Government withdrew from
all direction of political policy
toward Italy, leaving all political
phases of the war entirely in the
hands of President Roosevelt, then
our former countrymen would much
more quickly surrender to the Pres
ident of the United States.
