 The officers name is not given But he may well have coined a slogan that will be as enduring as Damn the tor pedoes-full speed aheadI" or Don't give up the ship" Perhaps he didn't have military logic on his side, Even the rankest amateur stfategist can see that such an order might achieve chaotic re- suits. But he certainly had the right idea,
 And the officer issued the order at the right time to give both military and civilian spirits shot in the arm, Rightly or wrongly, people had been wondering about the Allied offensive in Normandy, They had been wondering about e0f' respondents stories that the Paris time. table was weeks behind schedule, and that caution had become vice with the Allied command They eontfasted our slow progress with the Russian power house advance,

After U. S.-British experts laid their excellent April % ground worok. Lord Beaverbrook wicked over the traces at some things. and he seems to be keeping a more watchful eye on the interests ol the Empire on fair future peace. For instance. he has been insist- ing that Britain have the right to ban the sale of U. S. oil in England, despite the fact that Bri- tish Shell sells in this country. However, the basic agreement is truly encouraging when 1t comes to future eace.
 PROVISIONS OF AGREEMENT
 It provides. first: That petro- leum shall be available in inteFna- tlonal trade e the nations ef all peace-loving countries in adequate volume. at fair prices and on an equitable and nen-dlscriminateFy basis"
 It wes further and provides that all resources shall be de. vel0ped ''with 8 view t0 the agail- ability ef adequate supplies in both countries as vel as other peace ioeing countries. subject to pres visions 0f collective security"
 This means that. if the U. S. A. runs out of oil or vice versa. it is up to Britain to help supply us unless. for example. one or the other attempts to conquer Ethiopia as Mussolini did. and the world peaee-maehinery countries attempt to ctu off their oil as the League tried to do to Italy. but, because

 There are various other provi- sions too long to be detailed here, including provisions for an inter national petroleum council: a multi-lateral oil treaty by which Russia and other nations can line up with Britain and the U. S. A. in plans for conservation: esti- mates for supply l0n-grange dee mand; plans for oil distribution among the various countries.
 Finally, Britain and the U. 6. undertake to obtain the c0llab0ra- ton of other governments in this very important agreement for elim- mating future friction over one of the worlds most ticklish questions. If there can be more agreements to this kind. with not too much of the BeayerbroOk and Adolf Berle type of diplomacy. there may be real hope for permanent peace.

At present the war is restricting civilian transportation in the airways But when the shooting is over, over there, there will likely be more airplanes in American skies than there are trains on American railroads, It seems reasonable to sup pose that transportation over wide spaces Of our own country will gravitate to the winged groups, to the losses of the rail roads. Transportation on the highways should not be materially affected because motorists, as a rule, eonfine their trips to small distances, and their voyages to a day or twos travelling, Motorists have learned how to "see the country" in re- cent years,

 of these names, the point was hope fully made that you couldn't write a song or wiring a poem out of such names, and as an example the chal. lenge was flung at any tunesmith to forge a melody such as:
 My sailor boy ain't got much
 rank.
 But he commands a Landing
 Ship. Tank.
 Be 1t known that the challenge has been accepted--but twice. MT. Robert Taylor. who writes from Washington for the Pittsburgh Press. spoke up to say that he had a couplet to conclude the stanza, but that somebody else would have te fill in between. Taylor's con tribution:
 Hush now, baby, don't you cry,
 Daddy's coming home on an LCI. THE MUSE (OR IS TT BEMUSE?D SPEAKS
 As a vulgar display of versatility and to show how these things can be done-or can they?--it only took a few moments to dro0l of doggerel to fill in the gap. like this:
 LANDING CRAFT LULLABY My sailor boy ain't got much rank. But he commands a Landing Ship,
 Tank.
 He anchors a-weigh to give 'em
 hell,
 Leaning on the rudder of Landing
 Craft, Vehicles, Personnel. Don't ever fear he'll be capsized, Bounding the main in a Landing
 Craft, Mechanical. If he should ever be attacked. They'll come to the rescue in .
 Landing Vehicle, Tracked. If nasty old whale rams him with
 its blubber.
 He'll save his life in a Landing
 Craft, Rubber So hush now. baby. don't you cry. Daddy's coming home on an LCI. The ship is really not a barge. It's what is known as a Landing
 Craft, Infantry, Large,
 All this should make Mr. Taylor sorry he ever spoke up. and it should further convince the Navy these names are hopeless. But 1t has remained for a correspondent, Mrs, J. E. Howard of A6l0 Edison street, Houston, Tex, to really catch the spirit of the thing and crash through with a professional poem. MWTAEGAMuTHu XEG HID THE CHALLENGE

The local Legion Junior Baseball
League organization has just receiv-
ed the very fine news from the De-
partment Athletic Commission,
American Legion, that the Ford!
Motor Company, through its presl--
dent, Henry Ford, III, has announc-
ed another gift to the American
Legion.
The Ford Motor Company,
through it's local agencies, has very
generously offered to co-sponsOr
with the local posts of the Legion
all junior baseball activities.
Right now, what break this isg

operation will consist of furnishing
uniforms, equipment and trophies;
assisting with travel problems (after
the State Department of the Legion
deems it advisable to match games
with outside teams), and rendering
other benefits in line but not in
conflict with that of other local
firms, clubs and organizations to
local sponsoring Legion posts.
The local post of the Legion de-
sires to stress the fact that local
firms, clubs and organizations villa
be given a chance to contribute TO
the Legion Junior Baseball fund. A
special finance committee is now
making the rounds in drive for
whatever you wish to donate to
this fine project.
Since it is the plan to develop two
ball teams of junior age, it is not
thought that the Ford Motor Com
pany cooperation will in any way
conflict with any aid and sponsor
ing to be given by local firms,
clubs, and other organizations.
In the near future, the Legion
will publish list of the names of
all contributors to the Legion Junior
