For the soldiers IL is their
noblest passion. In wars of ag-
gression, such as this war of
Germany and Japan against
humanity, the leaders are ami
mated by selfish passions for
power.
When they feel their power is
waning. dictators deliberately
lead the nation into war, as
nothing unites a nation as does
war.

must appeal TO the finest pas

"whirlwind offensive" The
operation opened on the night
of May IL.
The Garigliano passage was
forced; the ancient citadel OF
Gaeta fell. Itri, Fondi and Ter.
racina were taken. The Appian
Way was opened and contact at
last was gained with the Fifth
Army troops crowded on the
AnZio beachhead.
From then on the advance
was speeded and became in
creasingiy decisive. One prong
of advance pushed northward
through the hills. 1t took Cis-
terna, Velletri and Valmontone.
When this town was captured,
the army had cut the Via Cas-
lima, the line of communication
of the German armies with
Rome. But the development
continued.
Another prong pushed farther
up the coast to assault Rome
from the south. Then came
hard fighting to expel the
enemy from the Alban Hills,
and when these were won, a few
days ago. only Is miles of open
plain separated the army from
the Eternal City. Kesselring
had lost the battle and the &C.
cupation of Rome was a matter
of hours.
UNHAPPY doubt remained az
~ to whether the enemy would
succumb without the city's de-
struction.
All Christendom waited in
anxiety to see whether the Ger
mans would man its ancient
walls and palaces, fortify it's
churches, fill the doors and
windows of homes with rubble
and concrete. and by hard street
fighting compel the Allies to
employ a ruthless bombardment
Of artillery and air to root them
out OF this historic center. II
is matter of universal satisfac-
ton that this did not occur.
Probably the German armies
had no great strength in the
city itself. Their main elements
appear to have been pushed
northward into the hills east of
Rome.
II is only through these roads
and highways of the Apennines
that the German armies can es-
cape. They appear to have
taken these routes before the
final threat to the city. =.

CUADALCANAL, June l de
~ layed) And what is Quad

months after we stopped the
Japs cold in this historic spot?
| might tell you life here is
one exciting adventure after an
other / might tell you the air
IS filled with martial music,
and that our guns bark out IN
ceSSantly as Jap after Jap dies

ter not. because, If l did, Id be
a terrible liar.
The simple truth is that Quad
alcanal today is possibly one Of
the dullest places on the globe.
The only Japs they've seen
around here for more than a
year are the Nip Williams in the
movies. And since those roles
are always enacted by Chinese
players, even that isn't on the
level.

goes on. Far from il. There
is much activity in the various

highway is the busiest street

The fights are limited to three
