THE report that the British
general, Orde Charles Win
gate, was killed by an alrplane
crash in Burma on March "a is
lamentable news. In situation
that has become highly dam
gerous by reason of the Japa-
nese invasion of India.
For Wingate was in command
OF the one British element CO.
operating in the effort Of Gen.
Stillwell to open a new road
into China across northern
Burma.
He and his force OF adven-
turous "marauders" had been
successfully landed, by car
rier planes and gliders, at some
point upon the Burma Railroad
between Mandalay and Myit-
kyina, with the object of de-
molishing this railway and pre-
venting the japanese army
sending reinforcements north
ward to oppose Gen. Stilwelrs
success.
THIS force doubtless has been
i built around the daring and
resolute officers and men, who
a year ago accompanied Win
gate. for 1000 miles, through
the forests and ranges of Burma,
in the most successful and SEN
sational raid that has occurred
in this war.
These men had been trained
by Wingate, had learned his
technique of attacking, frus-
trating and evading the enemy
in protracted jungle warfare,
and they were absolutely de-
voted to him.
They can be trusted now that
he is dead, TO carry out the par
ticular mission for which they
were sent in.
But Wingate is gone. and his
bold and unconventional spirit
and influence are lost in the
effort 10 effect British. Ameri-
can and Chinese cooperation.
This cooperation IS essential
and there is a good deal of evil
dence that il does not exist.
-
THERE are two plans for the

whose legs were full of steel

list of names.
Then I turned 10 look more
closely at this unfortunate
youngster.
Across his forehea and
temples extending vertically and
horizontally from his eyes were
deep red scars. evidently left
from the shrapnel which tore
his eyes out. The thin white
bandage was still wrapped
around his head, shielding his
eyes.
His legs, warped like pieces Of
old wood. hung helplessly out
before him. M
The pharmacists mate who
had been caring for him re-
moved the bandage from his
right leg and called the others
TO look. There was a mass of
puss and torn flesh from his
ankle 10 his calf.
