 We want to win this war in the shortest time possible. If we're to have a good world we must pre- pare for it.
 Those of us who die give their lives so the rest of us can live and be free, so don't forget that sol- emn moment of prayer helps a lot in reverence for home, country and God.

DON'T QUIT

When things go wrong as they
 sometimes will, When the road you're trudging
 seems all uphill, When funds are low and the debts
 are high, And you want to smile, but you
 have to sigh, When care is pressing you down
 a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you
 quit. Life is queer with Its twists and
 turns, As everyone of us sometimes
 learns, And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he
 stuck 1t out, Don't give up, though the pace
 seems slow You may succeed with another

Dear Editor: am a very interested and ardent reader of our little pa- per, the Sub"
 After leaving no pages unturned -each article read and reread Gas well as all the ads) l too, If may, would like to scatter a few words down a two way vertical enclosure.
 As I do not miss a trick, was deeply impressed in an article some time ago signed hungry worker"
 Due to the fact that I am sec ond "shiftee" on that long drawn out stretch-which takes us into the dawn of a new day, natur- ally I have noticed the lax and fatigue feeling that overtakes us workers on our shift.
 I was formerly in a position Cat my post in the blue print divi- sion) where I could watch over almost all of my co-workers. Naturally at that time l noticed the anxiety and enthusiasm, as, we'll as the pleasure that I de- rived from the visits of the Can teen Wagon that is now gone but not forgotten.
 One could not help but notice the peping up and satisfaction shown, and the eagerness to step up the work after these visits were made.
 However, in so far as they have rolled 1t out for the last time, would it be permissible If I humbly make a suggestion in this regard?
 Why not have coffee or ice cream sent through the depart ments on or about the approach of 10:30 or II o'clock, when that non-resistant feeling starts creep ing upon us?
 I feel rather certain it would be greatly appreciated, as well as approved by us all, also that the majority of all workers would partake of one or the other or both.
 The. midnight shift used to have ice cream sent in during the early hours and it surely went over big. It needed no salesmanship to un- load it at that time. I fully realize that ice cream at present is not always avail able, but certain nights, say two or three times week, we would enjoy these refreshments and it would give us that go forward feeling = then so what if we worked a little longer? Now that we are having later working hours we can't lag be- hind or fall down on our jobs. This is our fight - yours and mine. We can't stand by and look on; we must make every lhour count not tomorrow or next week CT this summer but

CHURCH SPONSORS
READING CAMPAIGN

What are the saddest words
ever spoken by Jesus?" Any men,
Der or friend of the Tabernacle
Baptist church who can answer
this question will receive a Bible
on Sunday morning, August 20,
when the Rev. C. E. Baker will de-
liver special sermon on the sub
ject.
According to the Rev. Mr.. Bak-
er, the "saddest words of Jesus"

Gospels. Each participant in the
campaign is asked to read the
Gospel Of Matthew this week,
Mark next week, Luke the third
week and the Gospel Of John the
fourth week.
The Tabernacle church is spon-
soring the Bible reading campaign
during the four weeks.
Answers to the question are not
to be telephoned or mailed to the

services on Sunday. In case more
than one person turns in the cor
rect answer, the Bible will be
given to the first one.

The Coming Ger man Civil War
BY WALTER LIPPMANN

Goering is issuing such orders to
the air force and Admiral Doenitz
similar orders to the navy, the
chief of the general staff of the
army has had to be replaced?
1t has long been highly probable
that when Germany was con-
fronted with military disaster, the
old army would attempt to save
itself ard Germany by throwing
overheard Hitler and the Nazis.
But the old army is no longer tee
old army: it sold itself to Hitler
hoping to use him and to profit by
his acts. Hitler, who is cunning
villain, has, however, intrenched
himself within the Army. The out
come, which now seems to be pre-
pairing, is that these two elements.
enmeshed' with IN another, will
go down together in a bloody, en-
venomed death struggle. Goering
has already given orders for Ger
man soldiers to shoot one another
virtually on sight.
This is the way the monstrous
Reich should end, in an impla-
cable struggle among those who
made it the e ror of mankind.
Their victims can never, be as
ruthless with them as they them
selves, habituated in horror, will
in desperation be with one another.
The Allies have not the slightest
reason to shorten or mitigate this
internal German struggle. For
here are the making of the only
kind of defeat which can destroy
not only the power but, what is
even more important in the long
run, the traditions of German
militarism.
For the Allies there can be nc
central German government which
they could recognize as capable oil
surrendering for the whole Reich
The Nazi soldiers and their fanati
cal leaders cannot be surrendered
by nominally non-Nazi generals
They will take to the woods and
the hills and the cellars and fight
on. AS Germany breaks UP, the
rule of unconditional surrender
will have to be interpreted as ap.
plying to regimental, divisional
corps commanders who can in fact
deliver into our hands as prisoners
of war specific formations of Ger.
man troops. Separate in bits and
pieces, we can offer them an end
to battle and then the treatment
stipulated in international law.
Let us consider nothing as sur.
rendered which is not phys. cally
in our hands.
But we should not accept or en-.
! courage the d a of one general
surrender: for no German author.
ity which wishes to surrender will
be much more capable than was
Badoglio of giving effect 10 the
surrender. Many separate sur
renders, on the other hand, will
mean that each unit which wants
to surrender will have to fight its
own way out Of the Nazi power,
and in this struggle, only by this
struggle, will German Nazism and
German militarism become thor
oughly disgraced, demoraiized and
disintegrated.
