The Germans' newest secret weapon is an old one. It is not the Vel or Va or the Robombs at all It is the ''V-D''. Since October (when our armies lined up oppos- ite the German border) the Nazis have been forcing and driving ven- ereal- diseased women (by the hun dreds) to the U. s. lines. They have even shot at them to make. them hurry They included Na1 pro- feSsionals (from the Rhineland cities and beyond), plus hundreds of Belgians, Poles, French and young Russian women who had been forced into entertainment" for German troops. It is a regular roundup, and the Tanks and Bri- tiSh have erected stockadeS with barb-wire to contain them That explains Gen. Eisenhower's or der ofb ''non-fraternization". It wasn't to keep Nazi gals from win ming over" our men for a soft truce. Troops caught disobeying Eisenhow- erm's order are fined.
 Our Macon editor relays this let ter from pr. w. B. Burke. His son James is with our State Dept. Jim auth'd My Father in China. :. Dr. Burke spent 50 years in China The letter in part: '"The whiS- pering campaign in China against the GeneraliSSimo and his wife is largely the work of pro-Jap 5th columnists. Unfortunately some of our correspondents over there have gotten some of the reports in the paper over here At first the Generalissimo thought he would ignore them. Then he realized the rumors were directed more against China than against himself. There fore he felt that he had to bring these stories into the light. As the report he had been unfaithful to his wife he declared his relations with his wife had been without stain, absolutely pure. I can under stand the object of the Japanese, but it is hard to get the workings of our American correspondents mind. This is for publication"

 Meanwhile husky gun crews work with speed and clocklike precision to keep the shells scream ing toward the enemy on split-second schedule. And men of the service batteries toll and sweat -servicing motor equipment, and supplying the greedy guns with shells.
 Thot inc Field Artillery was ready witt, highly efficient weapons when war came, and that it has developed even better ones since, is tribute to the foresight of our artllerists who have been constantly planning and experimenting to insure that our guns will be superior to those used by the enemy.

Then it's hi! hi! hee! in the Field Artillery!

@ Few of the combat successes of ~ United States Army ground forces J VS in this war would have been possible without the tremendous supporting fire power of our Field Artillery.
 Using new guns new types of shells, newly developed techniques, it can pour out massed fire at speed, intensity, and accuracy unheard of in the last war And this has contributed nightly to the rout of the Axis.
 But even the worlds finest guns and equip ment could scarcely speak with such devastating authority except for the sure skill and courage
 under fire displayed by our
 ~ American Artillerymen.

THE PRIVATE PAPERS OF A
 CUB REPORTER

DnEferers from the cigarette shortage would like to know just why it Is that night clubs are en- toying nearly all of the ciggie biz. This is how come The night clubs are in the enviable position because they've always charged a dime to IS cents over the retail shop prices, and, of course, they still are permitted (by the OPA) to charge Che same tariff as before the "ceil- ingn went into effect Then, besides getting 10c to 15c more per pack, the cigarette gals are invari- tipped an average of 25c for each pack. This, too, goes to the con- cessionaire As result, gettting soc per package for cigarettes (for which retail stores charge 17c) the roncessionaires are able to pay a good deal more for cigs than the retailers. That explains why all the night spots are doing a terrific cig biz.

 The safety commission, using sta- tistics supplied by the Motor Vehicle department, prdelcted in February that l9 persons would be Killed by such accidents during March in this state, The Motor Vehicle depaTt- ments final tabulati0ns for March showed today that the c0mmissi9n's $ estimate was correct, since l9 per- sons were Killed by motor vehicle accidents In Connecticut within that Sl days period,
 Perhaps some of those unfoTtur nate persons killed in last months accidents read the commission stater ment about the motor vehicle fatal- ities estimated for March, but never though tthat they would be included among the accident victims the safety commission declared,
 'If all operators and pedestrians were reasonably careful durjne April, we could keep Aprills motor vehicle deaths below 10 fatalities and, perhaps, even l0WeT, but the trend iustihes the pTedietlpn that this April's tgafAe death total VII be about + eases,p the commission asserted,
