Man Of Letters

Some day when the war is over it should
be the fascinating task of some scholar to
examine the communicates, speeches and gen
eral pronouncements of our military leaders
for the light which these statements can throw
on the men, their characters and their abili-
ties.
Until that time is at hand, it is enough
to make the broad observation that our top
generals and admirals express themselves re-
markedly well and with great variety Their
vocabulary, when they address themselves to
civilian audiences is free from military aridi-
ty. And they employ it with a directness,
clarity and very often imagination that many
professional writer's might and probably do
envy.
General MacArthur's utterances have t h e
Oriental splendor and rolling periods of the
Old Testament-due logically enough, accord
ing to reports, to his assiduous Bible reading.
Admirals King and Ninlitz and General Mar
shall can condense important news into mod
pecially in Marshalrs case) infuse this
almost blunt economy of expression with boil
ing-hot sincerity in public speeches.
Admiral Halsey contributed satirical and
gracefully contemptuous comment on the Japs'
inflated victory claims when he informed Adj
miral Nimitz that he had salvaged his entire
Jap-destroyed fleet and was withdrawing in
the direction of the enemy.
But best of all, perhaps, is General Eisen-
hower's description of war which he gave to
a visiting congressman in France.
WAR said the general 'is like pushing
a heavily loaded wagon up steep hill in
fog and never knowing when you are going
to reach the top. So you have to push like
hell all the time"
In all military literature it would be hard
to find more Illuminating smile. Needless
to say the general was not speaking of his
strategy or his armies tactics, neither of
which is the least bit foggy, but of the I'm
renting effort needed right up to the hour
and minute of the enemy's final defeat.
In these memorable sentences General Els
enhower has impressed us all with the dan
gers of complacency, and has done it, to our
way of thinking far better than a hundred
speeches on the subject
Those sentences are something to cut out
and paste up in home office or factory. Or
better, they are worth learning and thinking
about They ought to keep us pushing.

Prayer
FOR UNFLAGGING ZEAL

Thou knowest, o Lord, that it
is not easy to live up to the level
of our highest mood and vision
and purpose. We are prone to
slump and falter. Our high ideals
grow dim in the garish light of
everydayness. Petty interests in
trude into noblest purposes. And
all the while world at war waits
for the expression of a loyalty that
is unshakable; and for a resolu-
ton that will not fail. Kindle in
us by the Spirit, we pray, a new
ardor for our holy war aims, and
a new sense of our unity with the
heroic service men at the front.
In every possible way, and at all
times, may we be consecrated SOL
diers of the Cause for which we
wage war. Make us big and brave
enough to bear our share of sac
rifice and service without murmur-
ing. Let the glow of our devotion
be known to our boys in service;
that in great and flaming unity
we may achieve victory. Amen

"Great Soldiers of World War
H." by Major H. A. de Weerd
Morton; 1878.
1t is perhaps true that if one ex-
cepts generals whose flair for the
dramatic makes them stand out
men like Macarthur and Mont
gomery, the commanders have had
less than their share of glory in
this curious war. There has been
a proper campaign to keep the
ordinary fighting man foremost in
the public mind. We may have
overdone it. little.
Anyway, Major H. A. de Weerd
has provided balance in a re.
markedly readable book he calls
Great Soldiers of World War H."
He considers at some length II
generals chosen from the armies
of Germany as well as from those
of the Allies. Japan is not repre-
sented, and the Germans con-
sidered are only Rommel and a.
man named Hitler. The British
men are Churchill (the word sol
der" is used loosely, Wavell and
Montgomery; the French Gamelin
and de Gaulle; Timoshenko repre-
sents Russia, Chang Kia-shek the
Chinese and Eisenhower and Mac
Arthur are the American wing.

wounded doughboy in an open Sec
ton Of the road directly in front Of
a German roadplock and tried to
carry him out.
Three times they tried to get
him. Three times the German rifle
men ignored their Red-Crossed
armbands and drove them back to
cover under intense fire. Then
they asked nearby tank comman-
der to give them cover. With tank
guns firing at every sign of move

block, they finally rescued the
wounded soldier.
Or they'll talk, almost in tones of

doughboy in another foxhole 100
yards in front of him. This third
division soldier ignored both bull

him as he crawled across the open

Then there was nothing to do but

an aid man who had two patients
shot out of his hands while other
medicos were cut down around
him and his company was sur

and still he continued to roam the

other wounded infantrymen.
His unit had advanced along a

and gained control of the high

From that vantage point, their ma

through the doughboys.
Pardue saw a wounded man
Writhing in clump of bushes. He
ran to him and began treatment.
He was standing, ignoring the bull

Nearby another aid man was hit
three times in the side, another
doughboy was snot in both legs.
Still another was hit in the head.
Without help, Pardue dragged

if agreements will cover these

themselves "subject to regimenta-

The bank declares that in the

war in Europe, as that battered
continent tries to get back on its

it believes, while manufactured
