open like a dropped egg. His charred bullet-riddled body sank
beneath the surface.
That was the night you were telling the folks at your

Washington, the most mismanaged mess.
Bill Jones is dead. When God in His infinite kindness meets
Bill Jones at Heavens gate, He is going to say, "Well done.

BILL JONES is E A

1t was a shock for many of us when news came to Glasgow
that one of our own had died in combat in New Guinea. To
the feeling of sympathy toward his bereaved relatives can be
added another feeling, one of .inadequacy, that no matter what
we do at home, it will not be enough for these men.
Not so long ago, in the magazine of Kiwanis International
appeared an editorial written by Roe Fulkerson entitled Bill
Jones Is Dead" It is on the way to becoming a newspaper
classic. Read it and then decide for yourself if you are doing
your part for the millions of Bill Joneses from this and a thou
sand other communities.

$50 Allotments For
Soldiers Child
Is Now Approved

President Roosevelt approved
last week a bill passed by Con-
gress which provides that the. al
lotment for a soldiers child will
be $50 per month instead OF $3.50
and each additional child 500 in
stead of $40. Previously enlisted
men in the first three grades have
not been included in the allotment
set-up. and some buck sergeants
have baked at promotion for that
reason.
Now the plan is for the first
three graders to forego the allot-
ment deal and keep on getting the
regular $3.50 for separate quar-
ters. or give that up for the in
creased allotment money. Biggest
benefits of the new plan accrue to
those first three graders with chill
dren Enlisted men with second
airy dependents will be granted a
raise in allotment in some cases.

American Airman
Reloaded; Diary
Tells The Story

The Japanese beheading OF
captured American airman was
disclosed in all its stark details
Tuesday as General MacArthur's
headquarters made public a diary
captured from a Japanese soldier
at Salamaua. New Guinea.
The execution. carried out ac-
cording to the "Samurai" code OF
the Japanese, occurred last March.
Verbatim translations of ex-
tracts of the diary. dated 20
March. said:
1--WE all assembled at headquar-
ters where one of the crew OF
norglas shot down by anti-air-
craft Is March was brought under
guard.
Tai Comdr. (sub-lieutenant
first class) Komai told us it had
been decided to execute him and
he was to be accorded Samurai's
death.
I'VE were assembled to witness
the execution. The prisoner was
given a drink of water outside the
guard house. The chief surgeon,
1t Komai and platoon command
er bearing a sword came from the
officers mess.
THE time has come. The pris-
oner of war totters forward with
his arms tied. His hair is cut
close.
Il feel he suspects what is a
foot. but he is more composed than
thought he would be. without
more ado he is put on a truck and
taken to the place of execution.
"The prisoner sits beside the
chief surgeon and about 10 guards
accompany him. The noise of the
engine echoes along the road in
the hush Of twilight. The sun has
set and columns of clouds rise be-
fore US.
Il glance at the prisoner and he
seems prepared. He gazes at

Komai faces the prisoner and
says: You are to die. I am going
to kill you with this Japanese

of water-filled bomb crater. The
precaution is taken to surround
him with guards.

stayed in a slit trench with about
200 soldiers while the enemy

During another raid she went to
a shelter and returned to find that
the building in which she left her
clothes had been destroyed by a
bomb. She borrowed lipStick from
soldiers who had bought it for
presents.

standing on a hotel roof during a
raid and seeing the searchlightS
pick up an enemy bomber. Then
our ack-ack brought it down in
flames, right in the spotlight"
BOMBED FROM BED
About equally thrilling. she added,
