BECAUSE THE WAR has beer
far from our shores, a good many
of us Americans have felt lucky
We have been out of it, so far as
our personal comfort is concerned
The war has been in Gaum, Sia-
pan, Poland, France, Italy, and
the Pacific Islands around Aus
tralia. 1t has not touched us yet,
except by the torpeoding of ships
off our coast early in the war. and
by all present signs it will never
cross our horizon. While those of
us who feel that ayrcongratulate
ourselves on our safe remoteness
from the battles and the suffering,
some one of our near neighbors is
strangely silent. In a nearby resi-
dence service flag with three
stars. one of them a gold one. is
to be seen. Some one remarks,
Remember little John. who used
TO run our errands? Here's his
name in the list of missing" Some
morning our favorite store or
gathering place is unaccountably
closed. Another day our service
man, usually CHEEKY and chatty,
has no smile, no answering word
when we kid him.
The country has become a place
of elderly people and children. The
honor roll in the public square
grows and grows as others join the
colors. We miss the boy in over
alls who used to deliver the milk.
His father delivers in his stead
and does not linger to talk. The
man at the lathe in the factory
whistles no more at his work. He
is thinking of a youngster in far
off Burma. The sturdy lad who
used to run the pump at the filling
station was last heard of. we are
told, plotting a transport plane
across the Atlantic. The school
master wears an arm band. His
son was at Tarawa. The battles
are in the far lands, yes. But the
war is herein every city block
in every country lane. Perhaps it
is time for some of us to discover
that.

 Allied warplanes swept enemy bases in New Guinea, New Britain, New Ireland and the Solomons al most without opposition. A small force of Liberators attacked Truk in the Carolines on Saturday with out interception, in sharp contrast to the former Japanese practice of reinforcing their airbases after the Allied planes had made their at tacks and prompted observers to suggest that the enemy may have withdrawn most of their planes to remote bases with view to strengthening the East Indies and the Philippines defenses, partic- ularly in view of the increasing threat by the Allied occupation of the Marianas.
 The major air attack aside from that on Truk reported in today's communique was sweep by a strong force of Liberators on Noemfoor Island in the Dutch New Guineas and by daylight there were concentrated attacks on the Japan csc at Aitape in the Wewak sector

LONDON, June 27.-Up to 500 American heavy bombers attacked Budapest and Yugoslav railroads at Brod, United States strategic air forces in Russia announced along with the bombardment of a syn thetic oil plant on Monday at Deo- hobycz, Poland, from a yet third direction.
 British Halifax bombers in Eng land attacked military installa- ton in northern France, but dense clouds and near gales over the channel limited the air blows, al- though Mosquitoes by night bombed Gottingen, Normandy.
 Clouds obscured results of the Brod yards which were well cov- cred.
 Planes flying the Russian shuttle bases were conveyed by U. s. Mus tangs and Russian Yaks. Excel lent weather prevailed and crews re- ported good bombing results or targets approximately seven-five miles west of the westbound Rus sian front, the U. s. strategic air force headquarters in Russia said The attack group apparently return ed from the Russian bases, after the daylight attack, without loss.
 From Italy last night Allied heavy bombers attacked the Aquila oil re- finery and the Italian naval base of Trieste. Forty-four Allied planes took part in the raid, with thirty-six of the heavy bombers lost in the Mediterranean operations. At least fifty-five German aircraft were de- stroyed.
