SHOOTING STOPS

Presently the shooting stopped
and I thought il was over. But
soon we hear. at first family and
then much stronger, the roar Of
many planes.
The "all clear" hasn't gone off
but everybody realized this was
the sound with which London
now is familiar, the reassuring
sound Of hundreds of Raj bomb
ers going over TO repel the enemy
and really do job.
That explains, of course, why
the guns stopped.
But little while later the
sound Of Raj bombers dies down
and the guns again pick up and
the racket continues until it's Just
about time then for everybody
TO 60 home when ii conveniently
stops.
HEAVIEST RAID IN 2 YEARS
] found an air raid somewhat
less formidable than l had ex-
pected although the next morn
ing the papers arrive with the
that the raid has
been the heaviest in two years.
The afternoon papers. however,
have had time 10 analyze things
and officially announce that il
was more Of a Goebbels raid than
a Goering one. BY that, they ex-
plain the raid has all that day
been built up on the German
radio and in their newspapers as
having been of the intensity of
those Of 1910 and 1871 and that
this statement was merely made
for the sake OF home morale.
Actually. the papers say. only
some Of 90 planes came near Eng
land, Of which about Is pene-
trated Lendon's outer defenses.
Three OF these were shot down.
A few bombs were dropped and
several people were killed.
The real point is that If that's
the most or even a good sample
OF what the Luftwaffe can put
over here now. there Is never
likely 10 be. please God, another
great blitz such as London once
suffered

HARD TO UNDERSTAND WAR
The archbishop declared in an
other letter written after a tour
that brought him close to the war
in North Africa. that II is hard
for me 10 understand war. even
though I know full well that
America has been forced into this
war. that she is engaged in 1t
with the highest motives"
AS well rs can Judge the
American viewpoint, America Is
crusading even In the midst OF
the sordid barbarism Of war.
America really wants all people
to have true liberty, happiness
and prosperity. and now that
her sons and daughters are all
over the world, America is more
interested. yes, nightly more
interested in world affairs than
ever before"
WRITES OF SOLDIERS

Americas fighting men, the prel-

that Is stressed. but I do not
think sufficiently. is that they
worry more about their loved
ones at home than they do
about any imminence of danger
here"
The archbishop attacked some
efforts at morale building through
vulgar shows" saying;
occasionally some think they
help morale by producing
vulgar shows for the soldiers.
They produce dirt all right. but
they do dirt In every sense of

Front Has Phonies
|As Well as Heroes;
|3 Cases Described
BY HAL BOYLE,

Associated Press War Correspondent.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Al
giers, Nov. l Delayed The days
Of the phony war are long past but
not the days of the phonies. You
find phonies at the front as we'll
as heroes. Let me tell you about a
few.
An encouraging thing about our
Army Is that when battle discloses
an officer is phony he is very quickly
removed. I have three cases in
mind-a brigadier general. a colonel
and a lieutenant.
1t may be bit harsh to call the
general a phony. He was fun
bling, uncertain commander-Whil
he lasted-and he didn't last long.
1t was in North Africa. The gen.
eral commanded an American out
Mt sent to stop German forces that
had made breakthrough.
1t was decided to launch an in
fantry attack to drive the Nazis
of a small hill. The tank colonel
ana the infantry colonel wanted to
begin the drive in the late after
noon.
Suggestion Vetoed.
1T will succeed and will give lis
all night to dig in in our new posi-
tlons, they explained, and if the
attack fails We will be able to re-
treat under cover of darkness and
keep down our losses"
But the general vetoed the sug-
gestion.
The higher headquarters will
start sending messages in the morn
ing asking how We are doing" he
said. These messages are irritat-
ing and embarrassing. I want to be
able TO tell them We have the
attack going we'll by then, SO we
VIII have to jump off before noon"
They jumped Off but they didn't
Jump far. The doughboyS hit the
hill hard, but they didn't quite
make it, and then they had to 90
back down again by daylight. 1t
wasn't very cheerful message the
general sent to his higher head
quarters that night on the outcome
OF the attack. That general doesn't
make any front-line decisions now
In fact he isn't at the front anv
more, and the chances are he won't
be back. The War Department does
It's best work in silence.
AS I said, it might be unfair to
call the general phony. He Just
didn't have good military sense.
But the colonel have in mind was
undoubtedly 22-carat phonv.
When I saw him he was sitting in
rayine in Sicily we'll protected
from enemy artillery fire.

a high hill dropping the stun down
on them. Some mortar shells ripped
out communication lines. The
colonel was out of touch with his
forward battalion.
A messenger raced back to report
that an American battalion artillery
observation post had just been blown
up by direct hit. The report was
sent back by popular young cap
tain who had been in the post only
few moments before. The colonel
then decided he wanted the captain
to rejoin his battalion, which was
under heavy fire, rather than to
try at the moment to find another
observation post.
Any other colonel merely would
have said to the messenger GO back
and tell the captain to rejoin his
battalion" But not this colonel. He
had an audience, and this was his

The third phony-the lieutenant
was a harmless one. Standing in
line, waiting to get some ice cream
in an officers club in North Africa
he began describing the hardships

The lieutenant was a generals
