velt's military prowess-or lack Of
proves.
Every one has known that China,
a nonmilitaristic country, had only
one hope of victory: the help Of
America.
1t was almost forlorn hope be.
cause President Roosevelt decided
that the war in Asia and the Pacific
must wait upon the war in Europe,
and China was nearing exhaustion
when we entered the war.
Yet it was hope: and the Chi.
nese generalissimo endeavored to
hold back the japanese invaders
until American help should arrive in
force.
At the same time, Chang Kai.
shek had an enormous Communist
problem to beset him.
With a large part of China in the
hands of Communists, attuned to
Russia, Chang Kai-shek was the
only barrier against a communized
Asiatic mainland.
During the months of waiting,
American blood was shed in China.
Gen. Chennault and his filters
were there, with too few planes and
bombs.
Gen. Stilwell was there, with too
little support.
Off and on, President Roosevelt's
personal diplomatic emissaries went
into China-Vice President Wallace
especially.
The outcome of it all is that some
of our Chinese airbases have been
obliterated, Gen. Stilwell has been
recalled and Mr.. Roosevelt, the diplo-
matlst, seems now to be at outs with
Chang Kai .shek.
From the little we knoY about it.
the Chinese Communists, instead of
the heroic generalissimo, are now
our allies in China.
In that case, Chinas last hope of
freedom and democracy is gone: for
if the japanese do not take China
over, COMMUNISM will.
IN EITHER case, Mr.. Roosevelt's

Asia has succeeded only in turning a
DIFFICULT situation into what
may become an IMPOSSIBLE one.

Sergt. Stavisky recently told of his

while on souvenir hunt with Staff
Sergt. Jerry O'Leary, another Ma

former Hollywood cameraman, now
taking movies of marines.

plays solitary hand in another :
he related The one We picked
must have been command post, for
there's plenty of gear around. We
push past a couple of Tojo's former
Iimperials. knock over a radio and
some instruments. which must have
cost q pile of dough, in search OF
more valuable articles-like a flag.
In corner we spy a couple of
boxes. Oh, boy! We go for them
1t. Carter beats me to the punch
and grabs the only thing in sight
which will serve as crowbar. a
hunk of pipe Of comes the lid of

those Samurai swords. pistols, car
bines. officers personal kits. The
lieutenant drops his jimmy, chortling
with glee, Mumbling to himself, he
begins shoveling the stuff into all

Sergt. Stavisky went to work on
the other box, but its contents were
disappointing.
Picks and shovels," he COM
planned. yes, picks and shovels
That's what I get out of my box.
While I'm looking at this fine
collection of tools, up dashes a

Soldiers S PRAYER

HAWAII.-"A Soldiers Prayer
reveals in poetry the thoughts of
Pvt. William Edward Lewis, 618
Quincy street NV.
"Oh Lord, that I might valiant be,
Reverently, I call on thee:
Give me courage to see it through
Light my way in all I do;
Be my strength, my soul, my guide,
Allow me naught to wish to hide;
Keep me strong, in body, in mind !;
To those who fall, I pray be kind.
And when my work o'erseas is
through,
Make me remember twas done with
you
To help. to bless, TO lead the way,
Toward that bright. victorious day.
And then, in victory, my final plea,
Oh Lord, that l might humble be. -

barracks and the bed under me
started shaking, and the bottles on
the shelf started shaking.
Somebody said earthquake and
everybody pulled on his clothes, got
out of bed and ran outside. There
was barrel of water outside the
barracks; the water was about two
inches from the top, and about a
gallon of water was shaken out of
the barrel. 1t all lasted only about
a minute"
The son of Mr.. and Mrs. S. A.
Schneider, 621 Fifth street NE,
Sergt. Schneider, a graduate of East
Iern High School, was employed by
the Stanley H. Horner, Inc, at
the time of his enlistment in May
1912. He completed his radio tech

and was sent overseas in December,
1912.
Possibly you have read about the
presidential citation the President
awarded the India China wing of
the Air Transport Command Sergt.
Schneider wrote. Our outfit COM
prises part of that branch and natu-
rally is entitled to wear the ribbon.
The award was for the outstanding
job we are doing in transporting
supplies to China. I understand
that We were the third outfit to
receive that citation since war was
declared. 1t sure made us feel good
to receive it,

never ask trucks to do what the
Army makes them do in combat.
Noon, we went on another recon-
naissance. going north to the
Cesaro- -Randazzo road. We were
stopped, however, by blownout
bridge around which there was no
bypass. Insofar as I remember,
the Boche had not failed to blow
out any bridge as they retreated, but
our combat engineers were always
immediately behind the infantry
making by-passes. Because this was
the dry season, this worked Won
derfully. Had it been rainy and the
streams up, our progress would have
been slowed tremendously.
When the fighting advanced sew
eral miles the engineers would start
rebuilding the blown bridge or put
temporary one in its place AS we
would drive along we would see the
combat engineers at work, shovel in
hand. and rifle over their shoulder,
or driving a bull dozer wearing their
helmet and rife beside them. They
did wonderful job in this campaign
and one for which they seldom get
credit.
Late that afternoon we moved
up-by this time the engineers had
put in temporary bridge and gone
on. When We were here on recon-
naissance four hours before there
was no bridge, no equipment, no
engineers. Now there was bridge,
no leftover equipment, no engineers.
My boys were getting tired. mighty
tired now. On guard all day, load,
move. unload and dig in all night.
No wonder they were whipped
down. And then We would think OF
the Germans-they were moving
just as often as we were, but they
weer necessarily more hurried and
harried in their moving, and we had
the morale lift of moving forward
always, whereas they were success
fully advancing rearward."
Constant advance is hell-how
much worse constant retreat
must be.
Just after we moved in we found
that we weer at the infantry re-
lleving point. one regiment of the
9th Division was relieving another
regiment. AS I said before, the ar
tlllery was forward in this cam
paign-really forward. There was
standing joke among us-we claimed
that eevry morning the infantry
told the artillery their following
nights objective; artillery recon-
nalssance parties went in and the
Germans hid. AS soon as the recon-
nalssance parties left. the Germans.

later our artillery moved in. ate
that night or early the next morn
ing the infantry would move in and
take" the position. We wondered
what would happen if one time the
Germans failed to move out
The next morning we went out
again; this time we went through
the advancing infantry and by a
delightful old castle that was built
by Lord Nelson and was later in
herited by Lord Hood III. M. S.
Hood, who lived there many years.
The place looked like transplant
ing from rural England. Appar-
emily the English do as I have al
ways heard-go somewhere else for
the climate. then try to make that
place look like England.
The grounds caretaker told us that
the Huns had successfully concealed
themselves under these trees: there
had been quite larg encampment

landed anywhere near. Before they
left they BOBBY trapped the gar
dent had no military value, and
the BOBBY traps could only make
casualties of those who went there
to enjoy an English garden in Sicily.
A short distance beyond we found
positions and sent out for the ar
tillery. 1t. Ballentine went back to
get them, and when he got there
jokingly said, Watch me draw fire"
A half minute later about four
shells dropped in. Our boys moved
out-fast. Then, just before they
got to where I was some more shells
dropped near them. I wondered
why, when they came in, they came
a-hellin' and why they started dig
ging with such alacrity. They soon
told me.
The next morning we went out
again. The road to Randazzo was
jammed with other field artillery
reconnaissance parties. Mount Etna
loomed up immense on our right,
the ground seemed to be nothing but
loose cinders on top of solidified
cinders. Somehow, I had always
pictured lava as red-something like
molten sealing wax, but I realized
now that I had been mistaken.
There were even a few huts built of
lava, looking like houses built OF

Ever since leaving Troina we had
travelled only on paths, mule tracks
and across country we made our
own roads. There is no doubt about
one thing-we Americans have the
best transportation in the world.
Places that worried me were places
that no sane man would try to drive
even an unloaded mule cart: how
ever, our trucks always made it.
But what so astonishes other ma

our transportation demands. Others

the flames and make certain that
the occupants were safely evacu-

Although 1t. Dunn was warned
