VISION, Leyte Island, Nov. IT,
Brig. Gen. Claudius M. Easley, q
Texan, who turned professional
Army man, was wounded recently
on one of his numerous trips to the
front, the Army announced today.
A Japanese sniper shot him as he
was tramping vigorously through
front-line positions. Gen. Easley
assistant commander of the division
was the first general officer wounded
in the Philippine campaign.
His son, Maj. Claddius M. Easley
jr.. is with the 9Th Army on Leyte.
The general was an indefatigable
hiker and was spurred constantly by
eagerness to observe battle condi-
tions. Once he rode a water buffalo
to the front when other transport
failed.
Gen. Easley once told correspond
ents they had better wait for a jeel
to visit the front, rather than at
tempting to accompany him. Hours
later, newsmen saw him approach
ing. He had walked the entire dis
tance.
See what I mean?" he asked.

Don't worry. No harm shall come
to you. The war will soon be over"
Queen" Mary's grandson, Coy S

In the evening of the same day
Mary told Mr.. Thorpe and others
that the vision returned, repeating
an entreaty to stop the war" She
said the Hitler of her vision ap-
peared humble and remorseful.
Our faith teaches that Israel
should not seek spirits that 'peer

which the Pacific Coast league ap-

that was Rowland's stand that the

AS usual, there were various re-
