Q. Are airmen eligible to re- ceive the Bronze Star?
 A. Yes, under. certain circum- stances. The Bronze Star, newest Army award, is given flor heroic or meritorious achievement, in combat or in support of combat on the ground" It is expected that members of the ground forces will lead eligibility lists although air. men may win it too--but not in the air.

TRENDS OF WAR

Reports are in on the Marianas where our Pacific forces have SCOT ed another brilliant victory. Two ships and 135 enemy planes were downed in an assault that hit Sai- pan, Tinian and Guam, the major enemy strongholds in this group of islands. This thrust coming as it did close on the heels of the capture of Enewitok and the raid on Truk leaves the enemy position in the Central Pacific decidedly weakened. <. ::
 In the Southwest Pacific, the in- itiative gained by General MacAr- thurs forces continues. There, Ra- baul and Kavieng have both under gone surface raids by allied de- stroyers. One 15 ship convoy and other smaller conveys were de stroyed within the week. Competi- tion of the occupation of western New Britain and the invasion of the Nissan Islands isolates the Jap forces in the Solomons.
 Turning to Western Europe, we find that the full fury of Allied air power has been turned loose against the continent. Chief tar gets, of the seven day series of raids are German aircraft factory and assembly plants. The present tempo of the raids would indicate that Allied commanders are intent on weakening the Luftwaffe to the point of impotency. In addition to the RAF noctural raids against Frankfurt and Stuttgart, the AAF has teamed up by striking dual blows from both Britain and Italy. Chief targets of these assaults have been Regensburg, Steyr, Co., tha and other enemy manufactur- ing centers. Not only is Hitler suf- fering the loss of his vital aircraft factories, but he is also losing hun dreds of planes to the raiding for ces. .@:.....
 In Russia, the winter offensive continues to roll toward Pskov in the north and the Black Sea in the south. Capture of Vitebsk and Ono had speeded the drive toward Pskov and the Baltic states and the capture of Krivoi Rog has opened the way toward cleaning out the Dneiper Bend.

A Uhaplatn' 2 UhnughtH

It is a glorious thing to die for one's country. The supreme sacri- flee of ones life is the most that the average individual could con- ceive of contributing to the cause of liberty and freedom. But there is another angle to sacrifice that many men, especially the younger set, seldom, if ever, think of. In any sacrifice that we make there is the element of time, that we must figure into the sacrifice equation. For instance, when we hear of a. young boy or girl of tWenty-one years entering monastery or con vent to take solemn vows-to sur render their own wills and inclina- tions to follow a higher life in se- clusion and comparative solitude, we find various reactions to their action on the part of John Public. Some, misunderstanding their mo- tives and aims, look upon them with incredulity or scorn; others with sympathy and solicitude; and others again with admiration and approval, But to all, the fact that their sacrifice includes such a long time, lifetime, gives their judg- ment it's decisiveness.
 Now in this war we fight for freedom and our way of life, but so often it takes only moment to die-even the death of the heroic and the valiant. And one wonders -is our future life and reward judged merely on our death? :? That the death and the manner of death weigh heavily on the scales of judgment, we do not doubt; but on the other hand, we recall the some what stern warning: "as the tree leans, so it will fall; as you live so shall you die.''
 In short it is really our life that counts with the Supreme Judge our day by day observance of His laws and commandments-our con- stant plugging along with the sob- ering thought of that final ac- counting always in the back of our minds. Living for eternity" it has been aptly called, and in reference to this thought you might find this little poem apropos and thought provocative:

Never Mind How He Died

Never Mind How He Died So he died for his faith. That is
 fine More than most of us do. But stay: can you add to that line That he lived for it too? It is easy to die. Men have died For wish or a whim- From bravado, from passion or
 pride;
 Was it harder for him? But to live! Every day to live out All the truth that he dreamt, While his friends, met his conduct
 with doubt, And the world, with contempt. Was it thus that he plodded ahead, Never turning aside? <. Then we'll talk of the life that he
 led. :" Never mind how he died! : E. Crosby
 When we hear of some young man in the flower of youth, giving his life for his country or his pal on the battlefield, we would per haps think the idea of the poem rather brutal or discouraging; but we know that the Merciful Judge takes all things into account. But again I still think it's a good idea to remember that life can be more important than death.

CAN'T FEED ARMY

Officials pointed out that these
food losses alone reduce China s
military potential by more than
250.000 men, because of the gov
ernment's inability TO feed the
army.
There was the further dis
heartening fact that the pro-
American advisers 10 Generals
Simo Chiank kai-shek have been
displaced by the so-called eastern
advisers" who point TO the non
delivery of American aid. and
insist that China must cut loose
from her dependence on the
United States.
II is this trend, officials said.
which explains the departure
from ChunGklng OF Mime. Chang,

The situation in China has

We see that Jeanne bennett has
once again walked off with a week s
amateur engagement at the Club
400. Miss bennett is probably the
talest girl unattached to a Billy
Rose show and has entrenched her
self by being delightfully."- unham-
pered over the situation. She sings
"Embraceable You" in a way which
has not been heard since Helen
Ward recorded it with Duke Elling-

The boys in the service want
sweet songs at their camp shows.
So says Eileen George, who is sing
ing in the Anchor Room of the An

Southwest. She thinks they save
their jive for the dance floor.
At the moment Miss George is
thinking in terms of more camp
shows, but will probably stay at
the Anchor Room for another fort
night at least.
Jimmy King, who accompanies
Miss George on the solovox, oblig-
lngly came forth with a simple ex-
