trust; let me never be ashamed;
deliver me in thy righteousness.
Bow down thy ear to me; deliver
me speedily; be thou my strong
rock, for a house of defense to
save me. For thou art my rock

thy names sake lead me, and

Into thine hand I commit my

the hand of my enemies, and from
them that persecute me. Make
thy face to shine upon thy serv-
ant: save me for thy mercies'
sake. Oh how great is thy good
ness, which thou hast laid up for
them that fear thee: which thou
hast wrought for them that trust
in thee before the sons of men!-

The War
BY ELTON C. FAY
Associated Press War Analyst

In these days of mass air at
tacks, carrier task forces and
tank battles, there is disposition
to lose sight of the foot soldier
and the sailor who lands him on
the bullet slashed beachhead
But look on the battle maps for
the spot where the artillery fire,
the tactical bombing, the machine
gun and rifle bullets and mine
explosions are thickest. There you
find the Army's infantrymen and
the Navy's amphibious forces.
The Yankee fighting man, with
a flair for understatement, calls
that business rugged. What is
''rugged?" Well
1t. Gen. Lesley J. McNair, COM
manding general of the Army
ground forces, says that the in
fantry numbers less than one-fifth
of our army but that it takes far
more than one-half of the total
battle losses.
Or listen to some sentences from
infantrymen who fought and were
wounded:
THE enemy stopped us for a
few minutes and was on my
back in slit trench when it be-
gan raining mortar shells. One Of
them got me, but ten minutes lat
er my outfit took the hill and held
it."
Our foxhole was on hill which
we had won after an attack under
hot fire. My buddy and l stayed
in that hole for eight days. help
ing to stand off the Nazis, who
would keep coming every time
we'd drive them off. 1t rained
the last four days we were in
there and we were kept busy bail
ing out water and mud. We had
to use our shirttails and our I'M
derclothes to clean our rifles and
you can imagine what my clothes
were like, especially since I had
worn them more than two months
without changing"
The infantry, says McNair,
measures the progress along the
road to victory; so long as the
enemy's infantry holds, the war
is unwon; the only force that can
break the enemy's infantry is our
own infantry.
But the infantry and the Ma
rines must be put ashore to be-
gin pushing along that road to
victory. The men who get them
there are the officers and crews
of the Navy's amphibious forces,
created only two years ago when
the Allies war began shifting to
the offensive.
| These are the men who run the
constantly growing category OF
naval vessels designated as land
ing craft.
For security reasons, the Navy
is unable to disclose casualty fig
ures on it's amphibious forces. But
lit can point to the shorelines in
the Solomons, at Tarawa, on New
Guinea and the Marshalls, at An
zio and Salerno.
That amphibious force casual
, ties are comparable to those Of
the land fighters they put ashore
is obvious. Landing craft, in gen.
/ eral, are not fighting vessels; they
| have little or no armor or arma-
, ment. Nevertheless they must go
. where the mines and bullets and
bombs are thickest.

!, the water.

only make it about six inches

Toughest Summer

Responsible military authorities say we are
approaching what will probably be the final
summer of the war in Europe. If this is so,
then we are also facing the wars most diff
cult summer. 1t will require extra effort from
those at home.
Nowhere, according to present indications,
will this extra effort be needed more than in
ood production. So before we become too
immersed in postwar planning and political
]eculat!on, let's take serious look at the
aspects.

de obstacles to raising still another

re Departments estimate shows For since
le estimate was issued, draft deferments for
arm workers have been frightened, and the
,grculture labor force is now at record
low per cent below the figure at the same
time last year.
There is every indication that our annual
food crop will have fewer producers and more
consumers in 1914 than ever before. The arm
ed forces needs cannot be denied. An invasion
of Europe will necessitate heavy replace
ments, and the liberation of half-starved
Europeans will present another outlet for our
food supply.
The only solution seems to be for more
women and children to continue the excellent
job done last year, for more businessmen
within reach of farms to give an afternoon
Or full day whenever possible, for more vaca-
toners to take holiday of agricultural work.

and this spring brings back the
bolero suit.
incidentally suits and suit dress
es for summer are going over
big. Make one of cotton Seersuck-
er, gingham or shantung. New
of these are collarless and that's
another important fashion note.
It's the little things that count,
particularly in this years fashion

ferent shoulder, or bit of drape
and your costume is branded as
1914. The U-neckline is way up
top in Importance. It may be mar
row and untrimmed or wider and
frill trimmed. Back again is the
deep V-neck with a fill-in of ruch-
ing or self ruffling. The squared
off V-neckline is new. Deep neck
lines are definitely on the rage,
and the newest ones are distinctly
feminine. Mexico is the inspira-
ton for many of the boat-shaped
necklines.
The shoulder line is padded,
smooth, and moulded to your own
shoulder line but without exag-
gerated padding Of the past. The
yoke and small cap sleeves are
frequently all in one.
Special Ruffles
The tailored dress without but
tons is very smart with either ma
chine stitching or saddle stitch
ing. Then there is tailored dress,
the "buttondoWner," dressed up
with a self ruffle which follows
the closing all the way. The ruff
file is something special. Little
ruffles are big fashion.
Prints this season are gay and
large in character with fewer col
ors in each print. Border prints
are good and there's variety of
types. Many are Mexican or Ear
ly American in inspiration.
In solid colors, new violet
shades are tops. There is wealth
of gay light ues for spring and
summer. Even those who are
clinging to the old stand-bys -
black and navy are livening their
outfits with pastel contrasts.
It's still necessary to watch the
story of conservation and careful
buying, and always with a thought
about that wardrobe plan.
