One day William waited. Then

ting nowhere, he thought. So he
walked to a nearby airfield, Dor
rowed a wrecker and hauled his
truck over to a hangar and re-
paired it himself.
But when he reached the as
sembly area, the division had de-
parted. So, remembering a we'll
known seaport, he showed off
again, pushing mis- accelerator
clear to the floorboards.
His guess was right, but he ar
rived after the division had sailed.

What About StilWel?

1t has been some time since General Still
well was recalled from China and also long
time since any mention of him has appeared
in the daily press. The last time his name
was mentioned hereabouts was when he was
shown playing with his dog in an illustration
in this newspaper.
Why, we are impelled to ask, has not this
fighter been reassigned to another command?
Why is his talent being wasted? Surely it is
not against his record that he could not get
along with .neralssimo Chang Kai-shek,
chiefly because he insisted Chinese troops be
put into actiol- and Chang refused.
General Silly ell, like General Grant, holds
that the purpose of war is to fight, that it best
meets it's obligations in battle Is he to be con-
demned o indefinite idleness for holding this
view?
He demonstrated with exceptionally good re-
suits that given the men and supplies he can
win battles. He took green Chinese, whipped
them into trained army, and accomplished
one of the outstanding achievements of the
Pacific war when he forced his way south
ward into northern Burma when it seemed
that no human agency could dislodge the Jap
anese from their strongholds. Is not that &C
conplishment, and his known talent for train
ing armies and winning battles, sufficient to
warrant his reassignment to combat duty?

Bishop G. Bromley Oman Of New
York, and extending into each of
Methodism's $4,000 local churches,
embracing $500, 900 members, will
be called upon to study the find
ings of Dumbarton Oaks and de-
velop a public sentiment in favor
of its main proposals for world
organization leading to a lasting
peace.
According to DR.. E. Graham
Wilson, secretary of the Board of
National Missions of the Presby-
terrain Church in the U. S. A., that
agency is trying to increase its
services to the Navajo Indians of
the southwestern states-a tribe
formerly agricultural in pursuits.
Due to war conditions, some hun
dreds of the Navajos have in re-
cent months gone from their tri-
bal lands into the industrial and
commercial agricultural regions,
only to face new problems of find
ing suitable homes, health, school
ing for their children, and accept
ance OF their dress, language, and
customs by fellow workers. Minis
tiers and missionaries have fol-
lowed them into these new COM
munities and have tried to help
them adjust to new conditions.
Even those Navajos who have re-
manned back on the reservation
at Kayenta, Arizona, have needed
the Christian workers to help ad-
just their problems, according to
DR.. Wilson. For the government
has ordered reduction in their
flocks in order to save vegetation
on the reservation; medical care
has been difficult to secure. the
nearest doctor being rs miles

are without schools or teachers.

John Wesley, Oxford scholar and
clergyman of the Church of Eng
land, founded the Methodist
Church-but he never became a
bishop in the church. Now, for the
first time in Methodism's two hun
dred years, there is Bishop Wes-
ley. In Buenos Aires, Argentina,
the Rev. Arthur Frederick Wes-
ley, Tn. D., of Detroit, Michigan,
was recently elected a bishop of
the Methodist Church by the South
America Central Conference. Since
1918 he has been a missionary in
South America, and in recent years
superintendent of the famous Boca
Mission in one of the slum Sec
tons of Argentina. In addition, he
was professor in Union Theo-
logical Seminary in the same city.
Buenos Aires will also be the seat
of his episcopal office, all Metho-
dist work on the eastern half of
the continent being under his
supervision.

it tears my heart. The two ex-

Another Surprise

In another surprise operation American for
ces have again played leapfrog in the Pacific
area occupied by the Japanese and landed on
Mindoro island south of Luzon and hardly a
hundred and fifty miles from Manila
BY this new move General Macarthur is
within easy cruising range Of the eight Japa-
nese air fields on Luzon. Also he has carved a
corridor across the Philippines from Leyte to
Mindoro and will be able to dominate sea and
air routes to the China coast.
While it is reported that the enemy attacked
the Mindoro-bound convoy several times en-
route he was completely mystified as to it's
landing place with result that Allied losses
were negligible. Within three hours of the land
ing the United States Army took over without
having met any substantial resistance from
shore
In broad way, the operation proves as
great surprise to most Americans as to the
Japanese. The fighting on Leyte has been so
heavy in recent weeks, with such large for
ees engaged on both sides, it was not generally
supposed another maneuver entirely dissocia-
ted from the Leyte combat would be under
taken until that campaign was ended This
view was based it would appear, on the as
sumption that Macarthur would not have suf-
ficient armed strength and equipment to en-.
gage in second campaign while the first was
still at it's height.
The fact that he could successfully carry
out this Mindoro attack is evidence that orr
forces in the Pacific have grown beyond all
civilian calculation, for no commander would
launch fresh campaign with combat-wearied
forces. Obviously General Macarthur, adher.
ing to the tired and proved custom of military
leaders, used fresh troops for the fresh a..
tack.
The American Air Force has been 81 s,c.
cessful in its attacks on Japanese aircraft On
Luzon il is to be expected that with land bases
on Mindoro the ali blitz will increase in tenno

OF BuenoS Aires, one OF the worlds five most

completeness of the U. P report rapidly won
other clients among Latin Americas great
newspapers, and the service grew until today
United Press pours upwards of r. OOO 900 words
OF news annually across the desks of news
papers in South and Central America.
From that beginning, the service on the con-
tlnent expanded until when the second World
War began in September, 1899, United Press
dispatches were being published in 251 news
papers in % European countries.
Meantime, United Press had been similarly
active in Asia. From it's modest service TO
Nippon Dempo, United Press had expanded it's
service to all Of Japan to China, the Philip
pines, Hawaii, Hong Kong, Singapore, the
Dutch East Indies, India and Australia.
While expanding abroad, United Press did
not neglect its growth at home.
Always its policy has remained the same. It's
news is gathered by u P's own large and ex-
