and Kobe. I have had a good look
at all of them-the industrial Ruhr of
Japan-and I was often impressed
by the thought of how quickly Japan
could be snuffed out as world
power by lighting the huge, sprawl
ing fire-traps from the air. A good,
stiff wind, which invariably blew
over these coastal centers from the
sea, strengthened this thought and
suggested how nature, combined
with feverish, careless construction
of these cities served to make Japan
the most vulnerable country in the
world.
The construction was careless be-
cause the Japanese had neither the
time nor the money nor the desire
to change the basic layout of their
cities from feudal to a modern
one.
Thus there was a mushroom
growth of sprawling factories among
the flimsy, wooden, boxlike houses
packed tightly together in areas
through which there are often only
dirt alleys or footpaths instead of
paved streets. After the devastat-
ing earthquake and fire of 1928 some
streets were enlarged and some
modern innovations were introduced.
But this was limited to the business
sections of Tokyo and Yokohama.
The layout and structure of the
greater part of the Japanese capital
and the key eastern port Of the coun-
try are about as primitive as they
were 2,603 years ago.
In Nagoya, Kyoto, Kobe and Osaka
conditions are similar to those of
Tokyo and Yokohama. The down.
town business areas are full of con-
crete and steel, but the larger Sec
tons of the cities, where most Of
the homes and many of the factories
are located, are covered withsa for
est of wooden boxes, which millions
call home. So that even the fire.
proof structures are trapped in the

The heavy concentration of indus
try and other military detectives in
the six leading cities provides some
thing of bomber's dream.
Plenty of Targets.
If he comes in from the east and
flies westward over the main island
of Honshu toward China, as the Doc
little raiders did, the first target he
will find in his bombsights will be
Yokohama. Here the principal tar
gets are the harbor, one of the two
largest in the country, shipbuild-
ing yards, warehouses, metal, ma
chine-tool, and chemical plants, tex
tile and rubber mills, and an auto
mobile factory. The 18-mile strip
between Yokohama and Tokyo is
packed solid with industries turning
out machines and machine tools.

.
Born near Caen, he came here
when he was 80 years old. Since
then he has held daily masses,
baptized the babies. officiated At
marriages and recited the burial
service over the graves in the
church yard. The 200 members
of his parish have whispered
their sins to him and consulted
him when they were troubled.
He regrets that most of them
are not more religious and that
they turn to God only when they
are in trouble.
Although. like most French
villages, this one gives the i'm
preston of extreme poverty, NJ.
lie Cure says, "No, we were not a
poor people. Up to the time the
Germans took the town we had
no poverty here. This land is
the richest in France. We had
more meat, butter, eggs and
milk than we could use. Our
people are hard working and in
dustrious and we lived we'll off
our land. Our needs were small
and they were more than filled.
"Then the Boche arrived and
took most of what we had. They
occupied the best rooms in our
houses and lived we'll on what
we produced. What they did not
eat themselves they shipped off
where l do not know. ...
IS o m e times they went
through the motions of paying
for what they took but we could
do nothing with the money they
gave us. There was almost moth
ing to buy and one cannot eat
money.

WITH THE AMERICAN AR
MY IN NORMANDY - For 80
years Emile Levenue has been
the cure of little village about
three miles behind the German
lines. He is a little man with a
large goitre which gives him an
almost grotesque appearance
AS he toddles along the one
street of which the village
boasts, wearing a long cassock,
a large cape and a biretta on his
waving gray hair, he might be
mistaken for one of the sturdy
women of the town.
I caught my first glimpse OF
him when he was coming across
the fields to this camp in order
to listen to the radio news in
French. For, as is to be expected
of a priest, whose small church
has suffered from the shells OF
opposing armies, NJ. lie Cure is
deeply concerned with the out
come of the war.
He lives in tiny house be-
side the church with peasant
family. He has a small room of
the kitchen. A large table &C.
cupies much of the floor space
but its walls are filled with
books. photographs, statues and
bas reliefs. A hanging clock
licked loudly and two cats walk
ed in and out when I was there
1t is not, a tidy room. The table
was Uttered with papers and
tomato cans in which flowers
were growing and old papers
were piled high on shelves. But
the confusion apparently did mo-
bother him.

They were not cruel to US.
For the most part they kept
much TO themselves. Some did
attempt 10 become friendly with
our young women but I am
happy TO say with but few eX-
ceptions our girls would have
nothing 10 do with them. There
was one poor little orphan whom
one OF the Germans wanted 10
marry. He was willing TO have
me perform the ceremony, but l
refused and showed the girl how
foolish she was. After that the
Germans viewed me with sus-
picion. and even those who were
Catholics stayed away from
church."
The Cure wanted me to see
the interior of his church, a part
of which was built in the 18th
century. Although shells pass
over it nightly, it has escaped
damage except for a few small
hits in its belfry. He pointed out
its architectural peculiarities,
and called attention to the fact
that its stained glass windows
on the north side were smaller
than those on the south. He re-
marked on the beauty of the
choir as compared with the nave
and said, This is as it should
be, for it is in the choir of a
church that God resides; the
nave is for the people"

VITAMIN c FROM ROSES

Wild roses which thrive in
the English countryside are re-

sources of vitamin c than citrus
fruits. The vitamin is extracted
from the roses seed case; in

tips was gathered commercially.
