LUFTWAFFE ACTIVE

when people say there is no
more Iuftwaffe, You can tell
them they're Httts," said a sweat
ing waist gunner after the Ber-
lin raid-for this was certainly
more, of a raid than il was
mission.
The gunner should know,
We claim 176 German planes
shot down during Mondays mis-
sion. Our announced loss is So
bomberS and a dozen fighters.
Numerically, il would appear TO
be a victory.
But the German planes were,
perhaps, 90 per cent single-Seaters,
If not 100 per cent. They were
disabled over friendly soil and a
big percentage of the fliers was
unquestionably able 10 reach the
ground in safety by parachute.

LAUGH AT CLAIMS

The British laughed at our sides
claims. especially when we an
nounced that we had knocked
down 3O7 German fighters on the
day the Forts went TO SChwein-

time.
The BIS even sent one of its
war correspondents 10 Gen. FAX
eriS headquarters to look into the
claim and he found, to his great
that il coufd, have been
accurate especially in view of the
fact that 90 bombers failed TO
come back that day. and >tbey
must haze shot down many planes
for many planes got close enough
TO the bombers to shoot the big
ships down.
Highly optimistic reports have
come out Of England from time
to time about our sides deStruc-

knocked out such and such per-
centage of the enemy'S aircraft

Thereafter, the anchors were

President Roosevelt told Miss
Michael in 1888 that II know all
about you. You started wonderful
work"
She was member of the Uni
versity of Georgia faculty staff for
more than Is years. Georgia paid
tribute in 1887 by unveiling a marble
statue of her in the State capitol.
She carried the Poppy Day" idea
to the American Legion, which spon-
sored it in August, 1920. The Brit
ish Legion adopted it In 1921. Since
then poppy sales have brought mil
lions of dollars, chiefly for the aid
OF disabled war veterans.
Miss Michael spent the months
since Christmas in a hospital room
fashioning the poppy anchor which
will be launched at the United States
Naval Academy on Memorial Day
May 80.
With hands that were stiff and
aching from neuritis, she finished
! the last of the 300 paper poppies two
weeks ago.
Sitting in wheel chair as she
worked, she remarked: This may
be my last poppy anchor"

Two Girls, II, Held in Staying

on homicide charge and Eileen
Foster on delinquency charge
shortly afterward.
Police 1t. James Weldon said they
admitted Staying the smaller girl
because she told teacher they had
stolen report cards and other school
materials.
He said they told this story:
They arrived late at a Harlem
school and learned that their class
mates had gone to Central Park.
They picked up report cards, books,
papers and the letter cutter and
went to Eileen'S home.
On returning to school they over
heard Margaret tell a teacher she
had seen them take the things. The
girls went back to the house, pro-
cured Halloween-type masks and the
paper cutter and once more went to
the school.
They walked through the school
yard, where four teachers and about
$50 children were exercising, and
entered the recreation room.
Margaret was alone at one end.
Two teachers and six pupils were
at the other.
Eileen held Margaret, while
Madeline stabbed her.
1t. Weldon said Margaret, bleed
ing profusely, was taken to a hos
pital, where she died soon after
admittance.
Police who went to Eileen's home
found the girls lowering over a
backyard bonfire, Lit. Weldon said,
in which the report cards, other
school papers, the masks and the
paper cutter were being burned.

MEN OF WAR AND OF GOD

Somewhere in the Pacific
From the general awareness OF
God and religion that comes To
men in combat has sprung a small
but flourishing seminary whose
students are Fourth Marine Divis-
ion veterans Of Ssipan and Tin
ian.
The classes meet for two hours
twice a week and the interest Of
the men is accumulated by the fact
that because of other duties it il
often very difficult to make the
classes.
Not all the men attending are
sure that they want to enter the
ministry or missionary work af-
ter the war, but this is a posi-
bility and in the meantime they
are advancing their knowledge OF
religious matters.
One student actually trans
ferred from a behind the lines
outfit to an assault infantry com
pany because he believes that
manifestations of the Divine will
are more frequent in the front
lines.
