Avoid letting him mouth the

so feet apart, for dispersal. Their
walk is slow, for they are dead
weary, as you can tell even when
looking at them from behind. Every
line and sag of their bodies speaks
their inhuman exhaustion.
On their shoulders and backs they
carry heavy steel tripods, machine
gun barrels, leaden boxes Of amuni-
ton. Their feet seem to sink into
the ground from the overload they
are bearing.
They don't SLOUGH. 1t is the terri
BILE elaboration of each step that
spells out their appalling tiredness.
Their faces are black and unshaven.
They are young men, but the CRIME
and whiskers and exhaustion makes
them look middle-aged.
In their eyes as they pass is not
hatred, not excitement, not despair,
not the tonic Of their victory-there
is just the simple expression Of be-
ing here as though they had been
here doing this forever, and nothing
else.

Book
Lovers

Double honors to Edgar Snow for
his book, People on Our Side" 1t
has been chosen as an imperative"
by the Council on Books in War
time, and it has been selected as
book dividend by the Book-of
Month Club.
Edgar Snow was the first for
eigner to visit the Chinese Soviets in
Northwest China, and out Of that
experience came Red Star Over
China" which has been translated
into six Asiatic and several Europe
an languages. His next book, Bat
tie for Asia" was written while he
was visiting the major battle fronts
in the Far East.
In 1912 he left for an assignment
that carried him 10000 miles
through India, Russia and China.
His brilliant new book is concerned
chiefly with those three great coun-
tries-their political outlook, their
fight against the common enemy
and their social and economic prob
lens.
Quentin Reynolds, Golfers cor
respondent, says Of Edgar Snow: II
have tried to explain to myself the
phenomenon of a foreign CORES
pendent who is more often right
than most Of us, and now I believe
I have found the answer in the title
of his new book. The real answer is,
perhaps, that Edgar Snow has been
consistently on the peoples side"
The highest compliment which
Edgar Snow received in Russia came
to him accidentally. He was talking
to three girls in their early twenties,
who had been fighting as partisans
and who had just made their way
back through forests and swamps
from far behind the German lines
They had been part of a group Of
fifty, thirty girls and the rest young
boys and old men. But who taught
you how to fight?" he asked. Were
there military men with you?" "Only
a few old men," the girls told him.
They taught us something. We also
learned lot from book called Red
Star Over China that We brought
from Smolensk. We got many ideas
from it. Nearly every Komsomol In
our group has read 1t by now"
The strength of the American Ne
gro soldiers is legendary In India,
says Mr.. Snow. Our dusky sergeants
got more work out of the slow
moving AsSamese work gangs than
any white master ever did-one rea-
son being that they did not mind
doing the job with the laborers.
One story that spread through As
sam told how an American Negro
watched four underfed Indian cool
les trying to move a huge log. Pres
emily he interrupted their struggle,
spit on his hands, pushed them
aside, lifted the log on his shoulders
and tossed it over their heads. Then
he grinned and said, REST yo'self,
brothers yOll-all les done four davS'
work"
