SENGAlESE TROOPS AGAIN
BIG AID TO FRANCE
By NANCY CUNARD

London, Dec. % ANP)-France's
Sengalese troops are much in the
fighting again, playing an active
role in the victorious drive to the
Rhine. A French officer told me
the other day here: $50 many are
to be seen in Alsace that our ma
tional slogan, "Liberte, Egalite,
Fraternite," has been changed to
"Liberte, Fraternite, Sen-ogalite. 3"
Behind this quip of the French
soldiery are terse, cabled facts such
as: "French and Colonial troops
from Senegal, Morocco, Algeria,
were under Gen. Bethouart in an
attack which gained all detectives,
freeing nine towns and villages. "
That was just before the taking of
Belfort. A few days later, French
motorized Colonial infantry reached
the Rhine, advancing on Mulhouse.

officers and African volunteers

other French African possessions

Gen. Montgomery's forces, soon to
enter Tunisia, has now come true.
LeClerc, a cavalry captain in 1910,
is the great military French leader
of one of the most remarkable feats
in the war. His army, very largely
composed of Africans las can be
seen in all the pictures of his cam
paign), started from thousands
miles-distant Equatorial A f + C a
toward the freeing of France. His
words were: "Our aim is Paris. We
will keep on till we reach it. Then,
on to Strasburg" And this he and
his army have magnificently done.
While French West Africans help
drive the Germans out of France,
East African troops with British
armies have cleared the Japanese
from key port on the Chindwin
in Burma. Another East African
force linked up with them here at
Kalewa. Press cables say this rep
resents the East Africans first vic
tory over the Japanese.

lean continent, and that they
could only live up to the name
Lions by doing service to their
community. Quoting a poem by
the English poet Sir William
Osburn, Johnston told the new
club that they should add what
they can TO their community,
and not get what they can from
it. Johnston concluded by read
ing the official definition of an
ideal Lion.
In welcoming the guests and
members of the new st. Clair
Shores Lions club on behalf of
the municipality, Adrian A..
Lingemann, village president,
stated that he was we'll aware
of what Lions club have done
for children, Servicemen, the
blind, and so on, and said that
the various village departments
were at the disposal of the new
club.
In presenting the charter,
Reynolds sighted the work done
by the Lions by telling story
of blind Ann Arbor girl whose
first seeing eye dogs training
expenses, the Club helped pay.
Reynolds told how the dog was
almost a mother TO the girl,
taking her to Lions conventions,
and her constant companion
The dog lived IL years, Reynolds
said, and now the club has
bought a new dog for the girl.
Accepting the charter for the
club, O'Reilly said that the new
organization would help to
make st. Clair Shores a better
place in which to live, and fur

ACQUANTANCESHIP
He voiced with plea that
each Mems club member take a
non-church going labor member
or organizer to the next meeting
of the club.
Rev. Musselman ended his adj
dress with the assertion that
Labor is unquestionably the
most potent political force in
America today. 1t has been
charged that labor will wreck
our American system of govern
ment. I do not agree with that
theory.
Rather" he continued, II am
confident that labor, properly
directly, can become a powerful
force for good in this nation.
If it's own leadership fails, of
course. it may create havoc.
PROBE FOR SOLUTIONS
Prior to Rev. Musselman's
talk the Rev. James G.. Widdi-
field, chairman Of the Depart

his department, new one, had
been formed by the bishop to
delve into and decide upon the
part that the church must play
in social relations.
Frankly" Rev. Widdifield
said, I'VE do not know just
where and what we must do.
At this stage we are merely

front us in the hope that we can

also hit the Taichu rail center

He listed Is cargo ships as

Thirty-tWo other planes were
shot down over Balikpapan by
