WITH UNITED STATES FORCES
IN SICILY by MaiD The adju-
tant of Sd Division infantry regi-
ment has prepared a citation for a
Distinguished Service Cross for
Chips, Army police dog, who with
utter disregard for his own safety
single handedly cleaned out an
Italian pillbox at the time of the
Sicilian invasion July 10.
The circumstances have been
carefully investigated by the colonel
commanding the regiment, who
came to the conclusion that Chips,
acting entirely on his own initiative
and with an instructive appreciation
Of the situation. went far beyond his
call of duty as a dog soldier and
possibly saved the lives of many of
his human comrades.
Chips was one of the Army police
dogs trained at Front Royal, Va.
The regiment used to have four of
them, but landed in Sicily with only
three. The missing dog, Lena, was
left at Algiers after giving birth to
five fine puppies, of which the re-
doubtable Chips was the father.
The investigation shows that
Chips was led ashore on leash the
night Of the invasion by Pvt. John
R. Rowell of Arkansas. The landing
was just east of Licata. The two,

Free Danish leaders headed by
Christmas Moeller have been func-

took the view today that a state of
war now exists between Germany
and Denmark since the military
dictatorship powers which Gen. Won
Hannecken says he is applying under
article AZ of the Hague Convention
can be exercised only by an enemy
force.
Confronting Gen. Won Hannecken

the Germans arrested Danes as
hostages in connection with battles,

Reports reaching Sweden through
rigid Nazi censorship said 1000 army
and 200 navy officers had been
interned. One unconfirmed rumoI
reported roundup of Danish Jews
in which so were arrested, including
c. B. Henriques, leader of the Jewish
colony in Copenhagen.
Danes living in Sweden predicted
however, that the most stringent
Nazi controls would not halt Danish
resistance to the dictatorship. They
asserted sabotage would continue
against all efforts to subjugate the
country, despite the severe penalties
laid down by the German overlords
Already the Danes, besides sinking
their own fleet, have blown up all

these dogs ares protection against
the most skillfully maneuvered
night attacks. They are trained to
leap at the throat.
In the daytime Chips is a friendly
fellow about camp. He romps about
with the soldiers and begs for
scraps of food. He makes friends
with them as individuals. But at
night all friendships are forgotten.
1t is very dangerous for any one
to venture near a sentry leading one
OF these dogs. Chips has a very
keen sense of SMELL but apparently
cannot distinguish between a Ger
man and an American.
The recommendation for a DISC,
it was explained at regimental head
quarters, is in no way intended as a
joke. The officers are agreed that
Chips really deserves it.
A member of the public relations
staff OF the War Department said
today that ut is against the tradi-
tions of the service to award the
Distinguished Service Gross" to a
dog or any other animal attached to
the armed forces.
He added, There is nothing con-

be held lightly and the Army does
not hold it lightly, though there are
lots of people who would like to see
their mascots receive it." 1t was
pointed out, though, that many dogs

Fathers who are not in nondeferrable
Jobs will begin reporting for their

early next month.
District Draft Director William E
Leahy advised draft boards to start
processing" the fathers though they
cannot be inducted until October
and probably will not be needed till
November.
Despite earlier reports that draft
board ehairmen were rebelling
against the father draft, officials
who attended a closed meeting said
the chairmen appeared to accept

sons why fathers would have to be
called and the meeting was de-
scribed as routine" :.
Since 1t requires from a month to
45 days for fathers to 60 through
the preinduction routine, Mr.. Leahy
advised the Draft Boards to begin
the reclasSification now.
However, fathers may be classed
as Ia, available for induction, and
still not 60 for months. They are
put at the bottom of their boards

becoming Is. men going off replace
rnent schedules or becoming avail
able because their stay of induction
has expired and non-deferrable
fathers can fill months call, the
other fathers are held in la until
the following month.
After reviewing their own figures
on the remaining supply of available
men, Mr., Leahy indicated that the
boards probably would be able to fill
October calls without taking prewar
fathers, except those whose jobs
make them non-deferrable.

The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1943-06-11
BY PHILIP SLOMOVITZ

The English love the Bible
and they know the Great Book
even better than the People of
the Book.
It is no wonder, therefore, that
a member of the British Cabinet
should be the author of a biog-
raphy of one of the great Biblical
characters
Harper & Bros. last week pub
lished the magnificent story of
the great Jewish soldier-king-
statesman-poet-lover by Duff
Cooper, who has already held i'm
portant Cabinet posts and is the
present Chancellor of the Duchy
of Lancaster.
THE ORDINARY INTEREST
Ordinarily, such book with all
it's fascination would fall merely
into the realms of biography and
good writing.
But today, as partners with the
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1943-06-11
Duff Cooper's "David"

British in a great undertaking of
homeland-building, such a work
becomes even more significant
than merely literature. 1t as
sumes political importance.
Such book leads us to a con-
sideration of the minds of the
British statesmen who love the
Bible but do not often fight for
the preservation of the creators
of the Scriptures.
How does Duff Cooper fit into
such a picture?
Let's take a brief look at the
book for possible revelation.
A TOUCHING DEDICATION
There is a touching dedication.
We are sincerely grateful to Duff
Cooper for the following:
This book is dedicated
To the Jewish People
To whom the world owes
The Old and the New Tesla
ments
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1943-06-11

And much else
In the realms of beauty and
knowledge
A debt that has been ill repaid.
This is the language of a great
Christian, of brilliant English
statesman and man of letters who
knows Israel's story.
Yet, we are compelled to ask
Duff Cooper and men like him,
whether they do not forget too
easily this debt that has been
ill repaid" when such repayment
comes into conflict with British
colonial policy" that is so diff
cult to understand.
ARCHIVES AND REALITY
Perhaps explanation is easier
to find than we at first surmise.
Look carefully at the facts and
you find that it is so easy to ad-
mire objects you find in archives;
and it is so difficult to get people
to act realistically about such
matters when they are exposed to
the light of day.
Too many people would make
Jews and their creations objects
of admiration-provided they re-
manned objects in museums and in
musty archives. The moment we
throb with life they turn against
us. That seems to be the case
with Sir Ronald Storrs and his
like.
Duff Cooper seems to speak too
genuinely. His David" is too
much the masterpiece. His died.
ication of his great book to the
Jewish people is too sincere a
gesture. Let's hope We'll see him
actively engaged in defense of our
position.
In the meanwhile, your Com
mentator highly recommends that
you read his David" You'll en-
joy this great book.

To our sweat and toll
AS though it's very
Long sterile dust

PALESTINE
We renew our pledge
To redeem your glory
And raise your badge
On blessed Sinai
Where once trod
The swift and laundering
Feet Of God,
When from heaven
He came to choose
His heirs among the nations,
And named us, Jews.

Ode To Palestine
"This Land Is Ours"
BY LILLIAN REZNICK OFT

BY LILLIAN REZNICK OFT
This land is ours,
Our heritage,
Upon whose soil
First was sketched,
The pageants
Centuries have etched
On the concrete pages
Of time,
Upon whose soil
We've left our mark
In works of splendor
And fields of toll
And in ageless lyrics
That still assign
Their sacred legends
To every shrine.
This land is ours,
Our legacy,
Whose hills and Wales
Ave, its very core
Rests upon the ancient lore
Of our prophets,
Who by merit of grace,
Received Gods charge
Face to face;
Whose temple wall
Still huns the song
Of holy priests
And praying throng,
In whose halloWed mountains
Still repose
Solomon's wisdom
And David's prose.
This land is ours,
Our birthright,
And who is there
That shall deny
This, Gods own bequest
Or His will defy
And speak yet of justice
While we needlessly die?
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1943-06-11

Who is there
Who by shouting strong
Can hope to prove
Our right is wrong!
Enough of this shameful
and deplorable debate,
Of White Papers turned red
In bloody torrents of hate
Of doors that are locked
And which humans refuse
To open to us
Because we are Jews.
We want none of that
Which belongs to you.
We want no mans favor
But demand our due.
We've a right to this land
It was ever our own,
We've a right to CLEAN
Of the seeds we nave SOWH'
This land is ours,
Long, long ago
We have marked our stake
Upon every mountain
And in every lake
And whose long neglected
And parched, dry soil
