AS we read the dispatches which tell
Of the progress OF great battles OF move
ment such as those now taking place in
Northern France and on the Russian
front, there are two factors of vital
importance which the average reader
does not always stop to take into &C
count. These are the factors Of supply
and OF endurance.
Modern mechanical warfare is far
more dependent on organized supply
than the warfare of former times. Even
in the Civil War, the rates Of fire OF the
muzzle loading rife and field-piece were
50 low that troops could carry with
them several days of fire.; as for food.
it was frequently possible to Give of
the country" Commanders were far
more independent of supply trains than
is possible now.
Machine guns which eat up several
hundred rounds minute require 100
pounds of ammunition apiece for two or
three minutes of steady firing. A 75-mm
field gun is capable of getting rid of
ammunition of total weight of 375
pounds in a single minute. A minute of
rapid-fire by the weapons Of single
infantry rifle company will use up ap-
proximately 500 pounds OF ammunition.
Translate that into the carrying capac-
ity of the standard ~ and az ton
Army trucks, and you may begin to get
an idea of what ammunition supply
amounts to In the course of q great
battle lasting several days.
Moreover, all this transport must
carry along with it not only Its own fuel,
but fuel for tanks. armored cars, self
propelled artillery and planes operating
from forward fighter-strips. These can
not be turned out to Craze at night, and
the gasoline used by Sherman tank In
the course Of days marching and hght-
ing weighs q great deal more than the
nine-pound oat ration of good old
Dobbin.
Moreover, while Dobbin would still
carry on for time even without his
oat ration, the tank or the truck will
not move q yard when 1t is out of gas.
The supply system has to work all the
time these days, and 1t has to be mag
nifcently organized when 1t has to deal

Pleads for Merchant Seamen
To the Editor Of The Star:
Congress must not turn its back on
our merchant seamen again. For 10
long and hard years seamen have been
denied the unemployment insurance
protection afforded all other groups
CT industrial workers.
Either the House of Representatives
includes merchant seamen within the
reconversion legislation it is now form
ulating or else 1t serves notice that our
seamen are second-class citizens worthy
Of no consideration.
Our merchant seamen are tired Of
promises and recommendations that
some one else give them the protection
they seek. There Is no one else.
Who are our seamen? They are 'front.'
line fighters.
They are the men who deliver the
goods, risk the torpedoes and mines,
battle the planes and submarines, en-
dure the blackouts, crowding and ten
sion.
They are the men who have lost
proportionately four times as many men
az the armed services in the first year
Of war
They are the men who have hundreds
OF buddies in prisoner -of-war camps.
Thousands of their shipmates have
been manned. Our Congress has made
no provision for their continued care.
They are men with families which
endure the same anxieties as the FAM
lies OF our servicemen. In the absence
OF unemployment protection they and
their families may be thrown on the
beaches of hundred port cities.
And they are boys, too. They are bows
OF 1872 and II, too young to enter the
armed forces, but manning our ships.
They are boys who have as vet been
assured no education and no retraininp
on their return.
what are they asking for? Do they
csn for special privilege? Do they saw:
We who have been separated from our
homes and bear great risk deserve
special rewards? No. All they ask is
that their future be free of the un-
certainty and tension which fills their
wartime hours. They ask nothing more
than the minimum security Congress
saw mt to grant shoreside workers in
1885.

Letters to The Star
How to Comport Ourselves
When Victory Comes

70 the Editor ofThe star:
Twenty-six years ago in the middle
Of August the Allies were 1T last plung-
ing forward toward victory. But, even
50 the announcement OF an Armistice
gave the world such . surprise that 1t
released an emotional strain which
found expression in a discreditable
ebullion of misconduct. Few of US can
forget the Bacchanalian spectacle that
went beyond all bounds.
Now, once again, in the middle OF
August, 1914, we are on the verge Of q
tremendous triumph--a triumph which
has been purchased at fearful cost
in human life and treasure. Let's be
on our guard against repetition Of the
spectacle Of November IL, 1918.
In solemn reverence for the dead and
the manned, let our first reaction be,
when victory Is announced, to repair
Immediately to our respective places
Of worship and, kneeling down in the
presence of an Over!ruling Providence,
express our thankfulpess that the war
in Europe has come to conclusion, and
dedicate ourselves and our country and
youth to the moulding of q peace that
may last. So, let the doors Of every
church swing wide open on that day.
The Federal Council of Churches has
been forethoughtful in preparing help
ful and suggestive programs and pub
licizing the need for Dedication Serv-
ices throughout the country. It Is
particularly the responsibility of the
churches and papers alike to give wide
publicity to these services, as we'll as
radio commentators
May our first act, therefore, when VIC
tory comes. be to repair to our churches;
then. thus fortified by rededicat.on,
We can all fare forth into the streets
to join in a jubilation that win be 4
credit to the causAfor which so many
of our sons have paid the last full
measure Of devotion

Byrd Files Brief Chart
On Jan. 70 Inaugural

Senate Byrd. Democrat, of Vir-
ginia late yesterday made public a
brief chart of the January 20 in
augural ceremonies. all of which will
be staged on the south portico of
the White House, but it left to others
than the Congressional Inaugural
Committee the question of who is to
be invited.
The concluding comment on the
announcement by Senator Byrd as
head of the congressional group
was: Senator Byrd reiterated that
all invitations would be issued from
lists furnished by the White House"
The statement, however, cleared
up any doubt as to where the Vice
President ELECT, Senator Harry S.
Truman, Democrat, of Missouri
would be sworn into Office. He is to
be given his oath of Office at the
White House by Henry A. Wallace
the retiring Vice President.
The oath of office will be admin

Roosevelt by Chief Justice Stone
The President will deliver a briei

An invocation will be asked by the
Right Rev. Angus Dun, Bishop OF

Gen. Terry Allen Win,
Second Battle With
Untried Division
BY WILLIAM H. STONEMAN,
War Correspondent Of The Star and
Chicago Daily News.

War Correspondent Of The star and
Chicago Daily News.
FRENZ, Germany, Dec. 12.-For
the second time in two years Mai.
Gen. Terry Allen has led an untried
division into battle and emerged an
unquestioned victor.
Two years ago he led the lst Divi-
sion ashore at Oran and beat the
opposition to a frazzIe within 4S
hours.
He continued to command the 1st
Division as 1t fought its way through
the Tunisian campaign and the first
part Of the Sicilian show. Then,
because of temperamental differ
ences, which in no way reflected on
his personal character, courage, or
capacity, he was ordered back to
the United States and given COM
mand Of the 104th Division.
Back to Fighting Zone.
The redoubtable Terry came back
to the fighting zone as full of fight
ing spirit as ever and with the diyi-
sion which he had trained as fully
as an experienced fighting man
could train it. 1t did we'll the
minute 1t got into action in Holland
and then came over to the 1st Army
front near Aachen to help with the
November Is offensive. -
The 104th jumped off east of
Aoot,ax, r,itk urai1or itc oh
jective, and 1T was understood that
there could be no failure. 1t was a
rugged assignment and the divi-
sion's performance was bound to be
compared with that of the veteran
1st and 4th Divisions, which were
to attack the Germans to the south
and east.
In practice, our offensive was not
a great success. Yet the 104th has
seized one important objective after
another and by the middle OF last
week had managed to cover the en-
tire distance from Aachen to the
Roer River.
Hard-Fought Victories.
BY November 10 it had finally
cleaned the Germans out of Stolberg
and the next day was f1ghting In
the outskirts of Eschweiler Two
days later 1t was fighting In the
streets of Weisweiler. where it con-
tinued to fight for four days before
clearing the place.
BY early December 1t had pushed
on farther east toward the Roer
River, capturing the villages OF
Frenz, Lammersdorf, Indem and
Lucherberg in the process. All of its
victories were hard fought and many
of them were won by employing
Terry Aliens favorite maneuver--
the night attack. Casualties have
been comparatively low, thanks to
good headwork.
Although the 104th has lot Of
rough-and-tumble fighting ahead,
and every outfit Is bound to have its
ups and downs. it is already possible
to say that 1t Is very good division
And that, In such fast company as
we have on both sides here on the
1st Army, Is a real compliment
