frem Goebbels, the master propaganda,
in his bald boasting that very soon the
German people are to hear of sweeping
victories, especially on the eastern front.
1t seems inconceivable that the Germans
at home have not heard of the speed
with which the Russians are nearing East
Prussia and farther south. the German
homeland itself. But it is typical of
Goebbels to select the biggest lie to broad
cast. While the French invasion is going
slowly as far as mileage is concerned
it none-the-lesS is a Juggernaut that
can't be stopped and Goebbels might
have picked that spot for the greatest
of the victories he froths about. At least
he could fall back on the matter of mile
age if necessary to cover his lies.

A CIGARET AGAIN?
christian Science Monitor)

Three hundred and fifty fatalities :
to say nothing of $5000,000 property
loss-is too heavy a price to pay for
careleSsneSS. Nothing else could have
caused the devastating munitions ship
explosion on San Francisco Bay The
precautions taken by Army, Merchant
Marine, and Navy, including Coast Guard,
under whose jurisdiction port facilities
have been placed, are intricate-from the
foolproof packaging of explosives at
factories to their handling in the holds
Of ships. But human careleSsness comes
in the shape of fire.
''Unofficially," says a dispatch from
Port Chicago, some persons thought
that lighted match or cigarette might
have caused the explosion Obviously,
however, with no survivors of the blast,
the cause probably never will be known.
But the offense of smoking, even on mu-
nitions ships. is persisted in, despite all
precautions.
On the very day of the explosion
Federal Judge in San Francisco SEN
fenced a marine fireman to 80 days in
jail for smoking aboard a ship loading
munitions at Richmond, California. He
was the twentieth person sentenced in
the bay area for smoking on munitions
ships since April l. Similar arrests
have occurred in Boston, New York, and
other ports.
The Coast Guard is to be commended
for prosecuting these cases and enforc-
ing strictly the orders of the Captain of
the Port. But it is apparent that efforts
should be redoubled. Moreover, the uni
formed forces should comply with the
rules that stevedores and other workmen
are forced to obey. Carelessness must not
be permitted to cause another Halifax
catastrophe, or a cigarette stub to des-
troy a city

including plotting Emperor Hirohito
of japan on his first plane ride, Is
dead He was 68 and had been in
aviation since his first hot air bal
Icon ascensions in 1892.
He took Hirohito aloft in 1911 in
a rickety Curtis Red Devil, and
since Pearl Harbor often had said
he wished he had cracked up. In
stead, he got the order of the Ris-
ing Sun.
He sold the U. S. government its
first dirigible, built the second one
in the world, and flew it over the
bsan fields of what is new Los An
geles' fashionable Wiltshire district,
back in 1903.
He made his first solo flight in an
airplane in 1908 at Hammondsport,
New York. only five years after
Wilbur and Orville Wright had in
vented their flying contrartion.
Three years later he had invented
a flying boat.
He took the first plane trip
around the world, Grating his plane
where the terrain was too rugged
and flying it frcm point to point in
countries where one never had been
seen. This was in 1911, and his
flight at that time in Honolulu was
the first flight in the eastern hemi-
sphere.
The late Gear Nicholas of Russia
gave him the Order of the White
Gross of Russia after seeing him
fly.
In connection with his dirigible
work, he claimed to have invented

The officers lounge on the grass
III a little group apart and when
they finish eating they light caga-

cute little Franch puppies they
found in German strong points, or
traded soap and cigarets for. The
officers know the men intimately

A company of this kind is highly

Yet Ordnance figures as a basic
policy that its companies must
not move oftener than every six
days if they are to work success

days of full time work, then move
forward again.
If at any time the fighting army
ahead of them gets rolling faster
than this rate, the ordnance COM
ranies begin leap frogging each
other one working while another
CT the same type moves around it
and sets up.
HOW THEY MOVE
Their equipment is moved in
trucks and trailers. Some trucks are
machine shops. others are supply
stores some plain trucks are for
hauling miscellaneous stuff.
Once set up the men sleep on the
ground in pup tents along the hedge
with foxholes dug deep and handy.
But usually their greatest enemy
is the hordeS of mosquitoes that in
fest the hedgerows at night.
The more skilled men work at
their benches anC instruments in
size the shop trucks. The bulk of
the work outside is done under dark
green canvas canCpieS stretched
outward from the hedgerows and
held taut on upright poles, their
walls formed, of camouflage nets.
Nothing but a vague blur is visible

tour clear around the big pasture,
noS!ng in under the hedge and
camouflage nets to realize anything
IS going en- at all.
In the far distance you can hear
faint rumhle of big guns, and
overhead all cay cur own planes
roar comfortingly.
