-By Arthur Bugs Baer
You would think the Balkan states of Bumgravy,
Frumhunga and Rummdumm would get tired of guessing
wrong their wars.
They all strung along with the Kaiser in 1914. And
they went for the bankro again with Shckegruber in
1910
Looks like every 26 years they yell, "Here we go
again, kids" You might call it mature elaboration.
Looks a bit ripe to
Bumgravy has cracked twice now and never wise.
Let's what Premier Bagenuf says about it. The
premier is mountainous patriot He is strictly Frum-
hunga.
"The government" says Bagenuff, els determined to
remove all obstacles in the way of the Frumhungaran
peoples love of peace"
If the rain makes things beautiful that is dry
reading. In 1910 the peaceful Frumhungarans
fscated all foreign capital prosecuted the minortes,
polished up the swaska and marched four abreast past
some very important buildings
They were perched pretty pigeons grain
elevator. you didn't agree with them they ran you
until your hip pockets screened gravel If they caught
you they beat you to inch of your life. And they
were darned poor judges Of distance.

In addition, innumerable per-

tall women.

cause Of their height.

FHIS means of fighting Japan
l. is now lost. The japanese
have captured the airfields at
Lingling. And the field for the
B-29sr constructed by such an
enormous effort of hand labor, is
in this vicinity and soon may
be gone.
In my article Of June 19,
when the japanese initiated
their southwark attack by the
battle for Changsha, I stated
that one Of the detectives of this
Japanese drive clearly was to
liquidate these air bases. They
were of course known to the
Japanese intelligence service.
In May. the Japanese press
had announced their location
with exactness. 1t was impera-
tive to Japan that they be cap
tured. 1t was equally impera-
tive to us, to hold them.
BY their capture the japanese
have scored their first important
success in the last two years of
their war with the United
States.

To bring such points within

At THIS new base, according

Chinese men and women labored
for some months to build great

These great planes then bonn

at Yawata, on the mainland OF
Japan. They also have blasted
japanese industrial plants in
southern Manchuria. The radius
of these attacks is about 1,250
miles, which, so far as we know.
is the maximum reach for these
planes.
The appearance Of these new,
land-based bombers, able TO
reach Japan itself, was a sensa-
ton. Among the war-dreads
now affecting the minds of the
Japanese there is probably none
so poignant as fear of the devas-
tation of Japan by air bombing.

destruction of their fleet, is so
