Brooklyn And MIR. Coward

In his new book Middle East Diary. Noel
Coward made somewhat sneerine remark
about Brooklyn soldiers. The reaction could
have been foretold, for it is we'll known that
the hellish fury of a woman scorned ,s as
rothirg compared with the rage of native
Brooklynite whose civic pride has been wound
ed.
We can't say that we blame the Brook
!ynites having read the inflammatory passage
in which Mr.. Coward writes that, having talk
ed with some tough men from Texas and
Arizona" in hospital, he was "less i'm
pressed by some of the mournful little Brook
.yn boys lying there in tears amidst the alien
corn with nothing worse than bullet wound
in the leg or a fractured ARM
1t is greatly pity, of course, that the little
Brooklyn boys with their little wounds should
have annoyed Mr.. Coward. It would have been
so much more effective, dramatically, to have
had those arms and legs shot clean away.
Anc yet Mr.. Coward might have reflected
that little boys from Brooklyn (even though

the possibility of benefits for

prompted American Federation

BRITISH MENACE
CITY OF FAENZA

ROME, Nov. 26.-tR'-British
Eighth Army troops in swift
punches have flung an assault arc
around the Pc valley town of Fa-
enza and the Germans are digging
in inside the city astride broad
highways southeast of Bologna.
British troops and tanks crossed
the swollen, mud-piled Mareno riv-
err south of Faenza. The village OF
Borgo Dubrecco on the east was
being cleared, and Eighth Army
units northeast of the city cleared
the east bank of the Lamone river
for more than two miles above
highway 9.
American troops fighting 20
miles north of Pistola seized Mt.
Belvedere in limited advances
northwest Of Porretta, and knock
ed back a stiff German counterat-
tack on that height. The Fifth Ar
my men occupied half a dozen vii
lagos, including Gaggio Montana.
This action was about 80 miles
southwest of Bologna.
Headquarters reported no news
from the stalematel American
front about a dozen miles south
of Bologna.

1t was on April 49, 1912 that his flight took

for him (along with needed pa
pers) by his underground asso-
ciates. At first the Polish govern
ment was at Anglers, and later it
moved across the channel. But
throughout Karski's service he
worked altogether with the London
government in exile, and through
out his book he is very careful
not to step on the toes of the
Russian resistance group. 1t is
easy to detect his bias toward the
Polish government of the West;
it would have been impossible for
him to write the book and not
betray it.
The book is useful as a docu-

1t is shame that the publish
ers of Jan Karski's STORY of a
Secret State" have been selling
such vast quantities of F'The Robe, y"
for it must have used most of their
paper quota. Mr.. Karski's book is
printed on sucn thin paper that one
could almost read through page
by holding it to mirror. The book
is a Book-of- the-Month selection,
and that organization may have
enough paper to provide an opaque
page.
Karski is a young Pole who
sailed forth from Warsaw to put
the Germans in their place, late
in August, 1889. Without ever hav-
ing chance to fight. Karski and
other officers, with such men as
remained alive, trudged back into
Poland and presently met the Rus
SLAMS, coming in from the East.
They surrendered to the Russians,
and were taken to a camp inside
the Soviet Union. There, if proof
coulo be furnished that the pris-
oners were from a part of Poland
Incorporated into Germany, they
could be released. Karski took

ARGENTINE PLEDGED
TO FIGHT DESPOTIC
CAPITALISTIC TREND

BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 26.-R,
Col. Juan Peron, Argentine vice
president and minister of war,
declared today that 1--WE will not
allow despotic capitalism to pre-
vail in Argentina"
Speaking at ceremonies COM
memorating the first anniversary
of establishment of the department
of labor and social assurances,
Peron asserted that eff dema-
gogism means to protect the poor
and suffering classes and avoid
human slavery and social injus-
tees, work for the unity of the
Argentine people under our flag,
impede fights and hate between
brothers, if all this is damagog-
ism, I am de1nagogue."
He also declared that 'to
achieve a satisfactory end, it will
be necessary for some people to
forget their hates, for other per-
sons to lay out their selfishness.
If they do not accept this way
and if they resist, we will make
corrective measures stronger"

Buy Seals

Christmas seals have been placed on sale
in Wilmington today. They are part Of a
health education movement which was launch
ed il. this country forty years ago, and which
has helped to save four million lives.
The education movement was aimed at tu-
bercu]osis, which at that time killed more
persons annually than any other disease.
1t was not movement that Gust hap
pened'' It was planned and built on firm
foundations-on scientific knowledge on de-
termination to increase that knowledge, on
faith that the public would enlist in the health
battle if the public were shown how it could
protect itself
Today, $500 state and local groups are at
fjlated in the campaign against tuberculosis
These groups, of which the New Hanover
County tuberculosis Association is one, do not
build sanatoriums or rest homes for tubercu-
losis patients. Such necessary institutions are
financed by the state and county or by pri-
vate age .oies at an annual peace time cost
Of NOR than $7O00OO00, which is nearly six
times greater than the largest sum ever real
lied in any year from the sale of Seals. The
tuberculosis associations concentrate edu-
eating communities in health habits that will
prevent the tubercle germ from finding easy
victims. second phase OF their program is
to spread information on the most recent
proved methods Of treating the disease, 50
that tuberculosis sufferers may be brought
back to health and lead normal, useful lives
Wien we consider that tuberculosis today is
seventh on the list of disease killers, instead
Of first as in 1904, we realize the effectiveness
Of the educational program of the tubercu-
.csis associations. But when we consider that
even today more persons between the ages Of
Is and 45-men and women in the prime Of
lne-die from tuberculosis than from any
other disease we realize that this work is by
no means ended. We know now that tubercu-
1osis can be prevented. We must finish the
task so well begun of bringing it under COM
plete control 1t is task that must be done
for our own protection for each time tubercu-
1osis finds victim within our midst the health
OF each of us is in danger.
Everyone can participate in the Campaign
against the White Plague by using Christmas
Seals, the sale of which supports the work
Of the tuberculosis association. Each little
Seal we use is a brick in a mighty wall to
guard us against an attack by those small
germs which can be as destructive as an at
tack by an enemy army.
There is no reason to feel self-righteous
about the purchase of these Seals Christmas

are an investment which pays dividends in

They are gift Of health to ourselves and to

-LR-Ardent advocates of correct
bull fighting technique would have
been scandalized, but Capt. Early
Lynch, Martin, KY, just naturally
figured this wasn't a time to OBJ
serve the niceties of the arena.
In the middle of the village
square, the mad bull was making
more trouble at the moment than
the Germans. He scattered infan-
trymen right and left, knocking
one down in the mud, goring him.
Then he saw the Kentucky captain
and charged. So Earl simply pull
ed out his As and shot the critter
dead with one shot. Then the
doughboys came out of their hid
ing places and went back to fight
ing Germans.
Corp. Lewis Holloway of Farm
ersville, Tex, a field telephone
line troubleshooter, thinks maybe
he'd better 60 back to his old deer
hunting habit of wearing a red
cap and gloves.
Trees happen to be the favorite
hiding spot for German snipers.
So, the other day, a bunch of
doughboys sighted half-hidden
figure in a nearby tree. Carefully
and quietly they took aim-when
suddenly there was a frantic
shout:
