 To complete the rescue, workers were forced to remove the fan, choP away masonry and enlarge the mouth of tho ventilator.
 Rescuers said that the difficulty in drawing him free was caused by the narrowness of the shaft. It was about two feet in diameter. When he finally was worked free, the sailors uniform was somewhat riped and the sleeves were torn as If by the blades of the fan.

 2, The demand for release and ex. tradition of war prisoners and civilian internees need not include refugees from the Baltic states,
 3. If the Films remain adamant regarding transfer of Hango and Petsamo to Russia aS provided In the 1940 Russian Finnish treaty, the Soviets are willing to consider other territory as Q substitute.
 The moderation of the demand for interment of some 100000 Ger man troops In Finland was believed the most important, since the Films obviously would be unable to intern Nazi forces without the help of the Red Army, which they were re- luctant to call upon.
 Mere Isolation" of the German troops might permit their orderly withdrawal from Northern Finland to Norway, which the Na2i com. mand has been reported consider ing.

Good Soldier

"She took it like the good soldier she is" her friends said of Mrs Clare Muster McNair.
 Mrs. McNair knew how to be good sol 6ier. She had a good soldier for hus- band, Lt.-Gen. Lesley McNair, command CT of the Army Ground Forces. She had one for a son, Col. Douglas McNair. Gen. eral McNair was killed in action in Nor mandy. Two weeks later Colonel McNair, her only child, died in action on Guam. Other women have been good soldiers in this war, too, though we hope that few have had to sustain the loss of their whole family with such tragic Swiftness. And it is not to discount the heavinesS of any other woman's loss to say that the country surely feels a particular sym pathy for Mrs. McNair.
 Generals are supposed to die in bed. But Lesley McNair was not that kind. He had done an invaluable job. The respon- sibility of making the American G. l. Joe the kind of soldier he is today was Gen. eral McNair's, and he met it. But that was not enough. General McNair wanted action. He was wounded in Tunisia. and went back for more. He was the highest ranking American officer ever to be kill ed in a front-line area of fighting. 1t is not surprising that when his son, too, lost his life. it happened "up front"
 Mrs McNair's friends say that she was most touched, out of all the many letters of sympathy she received. by one from private whom she had never met. This IS understandable For death, which had struck down the general with the com mon soldier, had made the generals wife one with the mothers of thousands Of those soldiers in a common grief. The private knew that He knew that the gen. erals wife and the colonel'S mother feels as his own mother might, or the mother of his bu6dy.
 Death has never been more truly the great leveler than in this war. It.takes not only the buck private and the three star general, but the civilian in his home and on the street. No one is immune to grief. And death is close in London as well as on the battlefront.
 It is d war of unprecedented. repeated tragedy It has shown the world unbe- lieyeable cruelty and unsuspected bray, ery-so much of both that if the world will but remember. it can never be shown again.

New Line of Thought

A British general was speaking to an audience of boys: We nearly lost this war. We shall not be so lucky next time unless we take steps to be ready. :. There may be hiatus, but there is bound to be another war"
 Professional soldiers have always talk, ed that way. They have always been right there has always been another war With or without popular consent they have tried to be ready for it. But it IS time that they started taking another line of thought than that there is bound to be another war" Undoubtedly there will be threats of war. Against those threats there must be the eOunter-thfeat of a swift, powerfud, concerted, fright ening force that will not let them de- yelop.
 Professional soldiers must still take steps to be ready. But they must be ready only to enforce, drastically jf necessary the will for peace among humane, elvulZ- ed governments and peoples which can not be doubtel now and must not be de- pied in the future,
