A soldiers habits are not those Of a
civilian In the Army one does not need to
strive for the ordinary necessities Of life:
food, clothing. and shelter are furnished by
the great machine which foresees every
thing and axis nothing save devotion.
In the Army one learns courage, the
courage that is duty and the duty that is
courage; one learns to do his work even
when the work is to die. And one learns the
meaning of comradeship, that mystic bond
of fighting men that has been the same
since men went first to battle.
Your boy will come back changed by all
these experiences - and by one more:
Often he will be bitter because he has given
50 much and Others 50 little, because he
has suffered the shock of combat while
many Others have grown fat and COM
plaoent. Thus the veteran returns to his
homeland and finds it strange. There fol-
lows time of bewilderment. The veteran
is like an immigrant in his native land
Always in the past we have bungied this
problem of justice and help for the return
ing soldier. We have allowed the deserving
veteran to starve, then. belatedly con-
science stricken. squandered billions on
useless handouts We have always spent on
behalf of veterans too much. too late, in
the wrong way. for the wrong persons.
Yet it did not have to be SO! The vet
Grams needs are simple. We can solve
-he veteran problem if we try.
Our first duty is to those whose bodies
have been broken in Our service. They
neither need nor desire maudlin sympathy.
Nor will pensions solve their problem.
They need retaining to become self
supporting.
But before we can help the disabled, we
must find them Many men will be dis
charged with hidden injuries or illnesses.
Perhaps they will be unaware of them;
sometimes they will conceal their ailments
in order to hasten their Homecoming
Then there are those whose minds have
given way under the strain of war. For
them especially, pensions are no solutions.
They need medicine, mental medicine,
understanding and helping hand until
they can stand on their own feet again.
Veterans need jobs. They have the right
to earn living in the nation they fought
to defend. We must find jobs for them -
and more than jobs: opportunity. Govern
ment and industry must work together.
For many veterans, the education so
generously offered by the CT Bill of Rights
will prove a welcome boon. We must
encourage them to make the most of these

Many veterans viii return to find Their
personal affairs sadly entangiod. Some vii
need help with marriages embarked upon
because death vas whispering m their ears.

which must 60 far beyond what already
has been set up, every branch Of govern
ment, federal. state and local. would have
its proper part. and every private organiza-
ton, every citizen, would fund job to do.
The federal government must bear a
great share of the responsibility. 1t must
check on the health of the soldiers before
discharge. and then search for cases of dis
ability which it has missed. 1t must
support the dependents of deceased SOL
diers, provide compensation and retaining
for the disabled. 1t must help the psyche
neurotics, if possible without paying them
pensions which give them motive to keep
on being sick.
The state governments must run the
state universities at full blast, supply wei
fare services for veterans, refrain from
useless handouts. Most of all. they must
guide and stimulate local communities to
perform their indispensable function.
For even the utmost wisdom and gen.
crosby on the part of the federal and state
governments will be of no avail unless the
local communities do their part The CT
Bill of Rights will be worse than useless if
the veterans neighbors, friends, and rela-
tives lack the energy and sense to make it
work. Someone must help find jobs for vet
Grams, encourage them to 60 to school,
show them how to be farmers and bust
nessrnen, supply small loans to tide them
over emergencies, seek out and help the dis
abled. The common people of the oommun-
ity must do the real work of rehabilitation.
Soon our soldiers will come back, to walk
our streets and congregate in little knots
on street corners, jealous in honor. sudden
and quick in quarrels, jabbering the batois

Signs Of Bulgarian Attack
On Turkey Are Reported
By the Associated Press


NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-The
Stockholm newspaper Social Demo-
kraten said in an article reported
to the Owl today that there are
signs that Bulgaria is preparing an
attack on Turkey, which is not ex-
pected to be able to remain neutral
until the end of the winter"
During the last week military
patrols searched people on the
streets of Sofia" the article said
The radio station, War Ministry
and government palace have special
guards with machine guns ready for
any attack.
In any case, Bulgaria gives the
impression of a country preparing
Itself for war. Several names are
discussed in connection with a gov
ernment change. AS presidents are
named Tetsjankov, leader of the
Bulgarian Fascist party; Peter
Gabrovski, former Interior Minis
ter, and Slaveki Vasiljev, president
of the Reserve Officers Association. /"

Russians from attaining their prin-
cipal alma thrust into the German
defense lines.
Whether the retreat forecast will
apply to the Dnieper bend alone or
will extend to the whole front from
the Baltic to the Black Sea ise a
matter for conjecture. Be that AS
it may, the general impression in
Berlin today is that Premier Stain
not only is trying to regain lost
territories. but is resolved to wipe
out the German troops.
Even more serious than the con-
feSsions Of military setbacks is an
other Berlin statement today which
reads:
In the east there is practically
no more front. The situation is so
confused that only headquarters
knows the details of the operations
and can direct them"
Frenchman's Words Recalled.
Three and one-half years ago the
same dramatic note was struck in
practically the same words by a
military spokesman to foreign cor
respondents in France. 1t was
early in June, 1910. and the scene
was the French premier's residence
in Paris.
That morning Gen. Maxine Wey-
gand's press liaison officer had been
entrusted to inform the press that
Nazi troops had pierced Frar S
last hope, the hurriedly built Wey-
gand lines of defense along the
Somme and Aisne Rivers.

Headquarters said, the front no
longer exists. The French Army is
now resorting to a war of ma

Next day the tall German lieuten-

to try to contact other German
outfits. AS he talked, Billy looked
out the window.
On distant hill paralleling the
valley he saw troops moving. II
was worth a gamble.

surrounded" he said. Come out
side and I'll show you"
They stepped outside and Billy
pointed to the movement on the hill.

talked to his men a moment, then
came back to Billy, unbuckled his
pistol belt and handed it to him.
You are not our prisoner now,"
he said. I'VE are your prisoners
So back across no mans land,
the 5-foot t-5-inch doughboy led the
column of prisoners. Walking up to
his lines, he turned them in, to-
gether with seven German auto
MATES, nine binoculars and one
machine pistol.
Embarrassed at the attention his
exploit received, Billy's first thought
was to reassure his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Roy Miller of Peoria, that he
is all right
Just tell them I'm okay and say
hello" he said. After a moments
thought he added: You might tell
Peggy Mitchem of Macon, Ga, that
I'm all right, too"
Then he headed back to the lines
to rejoin his company.
