2. Access to water. If drought

In nearly all cities there are
seed dealers who will test soil

DOOM Or THE WARLoRDs

Prime Minister Winston Churchill. in
his radio address on Sunday, said that the
Allied Nations are now receiving enheart-
ening news from the battle fronts, but, since
his speech the news has been still more en-
couraging to the Allied cause
The Americans, in south central Tuni-
STA, under the command of Lieutenant Ger
eral George s. Patton, Jr., whose slogan is
Hit ,em hard, and keep on hitting EN-
hard and the British Eighth Army under
General Bernard Montgomery, have Mar
shall Rommel on the run again. This time.
when he gets through running, he will not
have any other place to go except in the
waters of the Mediterranean.
Patton, according to latest advises from
the front, is pushing on uninterruptedly to-
ward the coast of the Gulf of CARRIES, and
Montgomery has blasted into dust the
seutherly end of the Mareth Line and is now
executing a thanking movement that. ulti-
mately, will cut off RommePs men in the
Mareth area from the main bases at Tunis
and Bizerte.
The announced object of the Allied
commanders in North Africa to push the
Axis forces into the sea" will be attained
but we here in Key West and elsewhere in
the United States should realize, that the
task is hard one, and, while realizing it,
should not be over-anxious because victory
after victory is not won, and should also
steel ourselves to the setbacks and losses the
Allies will suffer while they crush ruthless
leaders who think lightly of sacrificing
thousands of lives even of their own men.
1t will be hard fight, and we will al
tain our objective, but, as Prime Minister
Churchill warned, dark days" still lie
ahead of us.
Hitler, Mussolini and TOTO know that
the end of the war means the end of their
rule; they know, too, that the leaders of the
Allied Nations have announced on sundry
occasions, that the warlords, who are re-
sponsible for this war and for the inhuman
acts they have committed in occupied coun-
tries, will be held to a strict accountability
for what they have done.
So they will fight ON, regardless of the
loss of the lives of their own countrymen, for
the end of the war will bring about their
DOOM

THE United States Marine
- Corps is the greatest body
of fighting men on the face OF
the earth today and probably
the superior of any of the great
organizations of military his
tory such as Hannibal's Legions
and Napoleon's Old Guard.
It's feat in taking and hold
ing Guadalcanal until relieved
by the army is one of the most
glowing chapters in the annals
Of our arms.
The American generations to
come will read with pride of
how the men of this crack
brigade cut loose thousands OF
miles from a base to seize an
advanced position from most
formidable foe.
They will read of how the
marines slash d their way
through the jungle to destroy
the Japs with a fury that
caused their very name TO strike
terror 10 the foe everywhere
and of how they fought longer
in front line positions than any
American troops in many years.
IN ALL the long and glorious
Il story Of the United States
Marine Corps. from the halls
of Montezuma TO the shores of
Tripoli. there has been no
more brilliant achievement than
its exploit in the South Pacific
where. as the spearhead of the
American offensive. it contrib
uted largely to saving the vast
domain of Australia.

As.
They are selected from the
same stock as the other SOL
diers and sailors of our armed
forces.
In appearance, as civilians,
there is no difference.
In service, the average marine
looks much like any other
young American fighting man,
except for the color of his uni
form and his insignia.
But there is something in the
bearing of the marine that dis
tinguishes him from all others,

hapS comes Of the teachings of
