God Knows Best-Mr. Hitler

Adolph. Adolfus, Gus or Addie,
Your has passed the noontde, laddie.
'Ts slowly sinking toward the west
And you will find in the end that God knows best
You sneered at God and you scorned His power
But wonder, if in your last hour,
You will not forget how to sheer and jest
When you finally learn that God knows best
Christ said of the Children who knelt at his knee,
Suffer them all to come unto me-"
ordered them slaughtered like beasts the field
When they, with their mothers. refused to yield
To monster who strutted, disguised as man.
SO figure it out, Adolph, if you can,
When your body, like theirs is under the sod
You tortured the priests and slaughtered the Jews
When their faith in God gave them power to refuse
To worship you instead of Him.
And they faced your guns with faces grim.
They would not bend the knee to you,
Nor worship you your puppets do
Though you ordered them fogged with lash and rod
You could not break their faith in God
The Jews you tortured and the priests you beat
May be waiting for you at the judgment seat
The women you ensaved and the children you slew,
May also be waiting there for you.
You rained your bombs on London town,
But you could not keep the spirit down,
Of people who know what freedom is
And who Render to God that which is His"
You tricked the French with your wolfish BRAIN
But France is going to rise again.
And perhaps she will some day make you feel
The crunch on your neck of the iron heel
The British lion and Russian bear
Kept you quite busy there
While the eagle sharpened his taons strong,
And you now have learned that his reach is long
Yes, Adolph, long you will heed the call
The handwriting is there upon the wall
On that day you will not snirk and jest,
For you will have learned that God knows best

The admiral added that Judging
from Gen. MacArthur's past per-

he did in New Guinea; perhaps
even more thoroughly.
Certainly the resources of the

fleet-will be with him.
MIMI said the japanese have

During the past two weeks" he
added, ''the typhcons have given
US much trouble. They handicapped
the landing of stores at Peleliu
(southern Palaus) under storm
conditions almost duplicating those
that threatened the Normandy in
vasion.
"In Peleliu we have gained an
airfield from which we in the cen

operations General Macarthur has
for the Philippines.
1--WE gained an anchorage which

but which will imporve-which we
can use for surface forces. Its
value in such close proximity to
the Philippines is obvious"
Peleliu is SIS miles east OF the
Philippines.
Furthermore, with Peleliu we
have cut the Japanese from such
bases as they are still occupying
in the carolines.
1.-The capture of the Marianas
group cut their lines from the
north. Peleliu cuts them from the
west.
"Planes can fly from the Philip
pines to zap or Woleai, but they
can't make the round trip. From
Pelelui and Guam, various Japa-
nese island bases can be attacked
frequently.
The Peleliu base will become
more satisfactory as the weather
moderates. The typhoon season has
a great influence on our operations.
We knew all along that Peleliu
would be tough, but its importance
warranted the effort. Even If it
had been tougher, we still felt we
had to take it out to protect our
long line of supply. Submarines are
