How much does it cost to

Where is the money coming from?
It's coming from you, and millions of Americans
like you :. from the taxes you pay, and from the
War Bonds you buy.
And while it may pinch a little, buying those
Bonds is the smartest thing you ever did.
For the dollars you put in Bonds not only help
win the war; They come back to you later-and
bring more dollars with them.
In this postwar world we're going to build they'll
be the most valuable dollars anybody ever owned.

To plant the Stars and Stripes on Saipan cost
the lives of more than 1000 American boys -,
plus some 10000 wounded and missing.
Naturally, these losses cannot be summed up
in dollars and cents .. there is not enough
money in the world to bring back 1000 dead
Americans.
But in guns, ammunition, and other equip
ment, it is estimated that Saipan cost us many mill
lions of dollars. Each of the many steppingstones
remaining between our forces and Tokyo may cost
as much or more.

Wandering in the dark through
Jap-held territory after a forced
jump from bomber whose engines
had failed was an experience STAFF
Sergt. Caspar v. Chirieleison of 360a
Georgia avenue NV. said he would
never forget.
The adventure occurred when
Sergt. Chirieleison's plane, the
Coon, was sent on bombing
mission toward Japanese-held ter
ritory in China. The aircraft was
not far from the target when the
number one engine failed AS the
machine began to lose altitude rap
idly, it turned back. The number
two engine then failed. Everybody
started throwing things out in an
effort to keep the plane in the air
At the same time, each man stuffed
his pockets with candy and rations.
"The alarm to abandon ship came
through. I looked out and saw two
parachutes go by. The tail gunner
said to me, They are bailing out.
We decided to go to the bomb bay
catwalks. Every one there was pre-
pairing to jump.
Finally I told my buddy, Here
go, you next and jumped. 1t was
black outside. When I landed I
thought 1t was on concrete. It was
merely dried-out rice patty
Starts Out Cautiously.
Thinking he had landed in enemy
territory, Sergt. Chrieleison started
out cautiously to look for his bud
dies. He saw light in the dark
and went toward it. He then de-
cided to take a chance and call
out. Some one promptly answered
back, in English. 1t was the tail
gunner, surrounded by coolies from
a nearby village. They decided to
look for other crew members, and
picked up two more. They then re-
turned to the village.
The next day the Chinese brought
an interpreter, who was carrying
dictionary under each arm.
"You can imagine our conversa-
tion,' Sergt. Chirieleison said. The
interpreter, however, did get them
to another village, where they took
boat that night.
Boat Springs Leak.
I'VE left that night and kept
going the entire time, and the next
morning, when we got up, do you
know where We were? At the same
place we had started. The boat
had sprung leak on the way and
had to return. Anyway, the next
day we tried all over again, and

Its way out.
At one point a vastly superior
German force overran a post held
by Sergt. Alvin Biggers Of Mountain

They held them of as long as they
could but eventually were engulfed

5y the Associated Press.


REHOBOTH BEACH. Del. Feb
25.-1t was whale of a thing to
have happen right in Delaware. but
there was a whale abroad in these
parts, and not in the ocean, either.
He-every one presumed it was
"he" because he was such a show
off-came gliding up the Lewes-
Rehoboth Canal, swimming with a
sort of debonair nonchalance.
Crowds gathered on the banks
children squealed, boatmen hooted
their horns, small boats scooted out
of the way.
At a point about 2 miles from the
ocean, he slowed to something
slower than whales pace, and
spouted water.
The crowd cheered.
Then he steamed on, hundreds
trotting along the shores, shouting.
The way he was headed, it was a
l5-mile swim back to deep water for
he had to pass through Rehoboth
and Indian River and Indian River
bays, but nobody doubted he would
make it and there were no reports
later to indicate he hadn't.

said he came in on yesterdays ex-
high tide.

Operated Own University.
All the internees learned to make
the best of bad bargain during
the time they were held by the
Germans.
They had university in exile at
Baden Baden which offered 1863
courses under SO instructors and a
total registration Of 1868 among the
l46 internees during the four terms
1t operated. The courses ranged
from ballet, accounting, drawing,
philosophy and chess to philology,
first aid, geopolitics and eight Ian
guages.
Mr.. Henry was the professor in
algebra. and he made up his own
problems as he went along.
The university also took charge
Of educating the eight children of
school age.
Went Back to Meet Fiancee.
The educational program was or
ganized by Mr.. Whitcomb, who was
one OF the three persons previously
interned at Bad Nauheim just after
Pearl Harbor. After being released
at Lisbon in May, 1912, he went back
to meet his pretty French fiancee
who had been left behind. They
were married in the unoccupied
zone, only to be caught in the Sec
ond internment when the Allies in
vaded French North Africa.
A child was born to them two
months before we left. A French
doctor assisted after the Germans
had refused to attend the case.
Projects at Baden Baden included
a library of 1000 English volumes
directed by Mrs. Herbert G.. King
of Chicago, wife of the United Press
correspondent; a dramatic program
directed by Mr.. Henry, who also was
dean" of the university's faculty
i OF literature; an efficient medical
service under DR. Harold M. Stuart.

cialist from Boston; a competitive
sports program under Col. Robert
Scow of Elmhurst, Long Island, and
Tulsa, Okla, the military attache.
and varied entertainment program
organized by Roderic Dawson,
Princeton instructor, and myself.
Produced Play and Operetta.
Mr.. Henry and I wrote and pro-
duced a detective play and musical
operetta respectively.
At Lourdes, before we were in
termed at Baden Baden. humorous
newspaper was issued under the
name of "Lourdes Idle Rumor,"
which Mr.. Tuck said he would pre-
sent to the Library of Congress. In
Baden Baden wall newspaper,
"Das Badenews" was published.
No official distinctions among in
ternees were accepted from the
Germans. Thus Mr.. Tuck made the
trip from Baden Baden in a day
coach with the rest of the men,
leaving the sleepers to the women
and children and the German
Foreign Office representative.
