Now they we're breaking up. In

Johnny. But Johnny didn't see

if they should at this moment of

Mister Burgess called me an

to know what we thought of Pete.
We DIDN'T know Pete was askin'
for a loan but I guess it wouldn't
have made any difference. We told
Mister Burgess Pete was swell

Finally. Mister Burgess said,
Would you boys buy Pete's place

They went out to the back street

COblenz Falls

Laymen cannot readily estimate the full
value to the Allied cause of General Patton S
seizure of Coblenz, but it does not require a
trained military mind to recognize that loss
of this major Rhineland city cannot prove
a help to the Germans in these days of their
defeat in combat
Following as it does the capture of Cologne,
at the center of the Ruhr industrial produc-
ton area, and coupled with the advance of
Patton's armored divisions into the Saar basin,
which is scarcely second to the Ruhr in war
production, with the retreat of German forces
from the district orderly but precipitate, this
victory leaves the enemy in more desperate
straits and cannot fail to bring his ultimate
overthrow materially nearer.
Masters in withdrawal many German troops
will get out of the trap set for them to fight
another day, but it becomes more difficult
to understand what they have to fight for or
why they continue the battle.

They Deserve Odds

Legislation is considered to end priority
limitations in favor of veterans back from
war fronts and anxious to enter business on
their own account but now unable to do so
because they cannot secure materials. Any
measure that will give these men the right
to lay in stock in trade without unnecessary
delays should be rushed through Congress.
The government has gone to great lengths
to discuss and frame programs for providing
jobs for returning veterans, but nothing def
mite has been done to give them the privilege
Of setting up in business for themselves The
thought seems to have been that veterans
must depend on employers in business or in
dustry for means Of livelihood once they are
out of the armed services. Bureau chiefs.
here as elsewhere, have been guilty of shallow
thinking, for the facts is that thousands of our
soldiers are financially independent, fully
capable of financing businesses of their own
They deserve every encoura cement and help
the government can render, not only because
they have performed the greatest service any
person can give his country but in the interest
of sitter private competition when the war is
ended
Jobs for needy veterans ought to be provid-
ed, preferably in private enterprises but Vet
Grams capable of entering business on their
own ought to have their chance and not only
when peace has been restored, but now if their
military duty has been completed.
Legislation at Washington that would give
them the edge on priorities should be COM
pleted at once.

half of servicemen overseas. And every day,
overseas, Red Cross field directors are able
to set the minds of anxious or worried boys

them by these Home Service workers.
This service alone would justify the exls-

Then There Were Eight

Heretofore there have been twenty groups
of drivers eligible under OPA rules to buy
new 1912 automobiles. Now the OPA has re-
duced the groups to eight, step declared
necessary to stem the number of apple atoms
from eligibles currently reaching the high total
of 600 month
The eight groups are listed as:
l. Government employees engaged in fire
fighting, crime detection, mail transporta-
ton and enforcement Of laws preserving
health and safety
2. Physicians, surgeons and mid-Wives,
who governmentally licensed.
3. Regularly licensed farm veterinarians
4. Public-heaith nurses.
5. Ministers or religious practitioners 9TH
Their than ministers authorized by organized
religious faith
6. Members Of the armed forces or State
military services who need cars for Off
cial business.
7. Taxi operators for replacement or ap-
proved additions to fleets.
8. Owners of car-rental concerns who rent
cars exclusively to persons eligible to buy
new car.
Chester Bowles, who heads OPA, explains
the change thus:
1--WE have just certain number of automo-
biles left. There are many people who feel
they truly need new automobiles So we had
to pick those who by all fair standards had a
first priority.
Our guess is that he'll have his hands full
convincing many other drivers that they are
not entitled to first priority"

Daily Prayer
FOR RECEPTIVE MINDS

We confess, o Master, that we
are poor pupils in the school of
war. We have been slow to learn
the deep lessons of this world
tragedy. We have not seen it as
a Christening of souls. Many of
us have gone throughtlessly on in
our trivial ways of profit Or pleas
ure seeking. We have not entered
into the agony of the service men
or the sufferings of millions of
people. Our own days have been
untouched by real sacrifice or un-
Outstanding. We confess our sin
unto Thee, o God. Have mercy
upon us for our heedlessness and
canousness. We plead with Thee
to stab our spirits wide awake to
an understanding of these times.
Lay upon our hearts the cross of
Christ - and all the myriads of
crosses that mark the graves of
our fallen heroes. Give us. we
pray, a deep receptiveness of the
significance of the war of which
we are part. Lift us up to life's
higher levels. And Thine will be
the glory. Amen.-W.T TIE.

Defense Plan Test

This embattled world is expected soon to
see whether defense plan eminently success
full in one case is equally effective in another.
Conditions cannot be identical but they will
be sufficiently alike to determine whether it's
the men or the plan that works.
1t was in late 1941 that German tank force
reached a streetcar terminal in the suburbs
OF Moscow The Germans expected to capture
the city, but failed because the defense system
of the Russian commander was too good for
them.
The leader OF the tank corps which pene-
trated Moscow's suburbs was Lieut. Gen.
Bruno Ritter Won Hauenschild It is he the
German High Command has chosen to set IN
the defenses Of Berlin on the supposition that
the Russian armed forces will be first to
reach the Reich capital and that General Won
Hauenschild, having been repulsed by the Rus
slams at Moscow, is best fitted to apply thei,
! tactics in defending Berlin
The German Transocean Agency has pro.
claimed that German forces are prepared to

craters and debris piles, in the same or ap.
proximate manner Of the Red forces when
they defended their own capital

tons which become denser and tighter as they

tank spearheads could be worn down by in
creasingly sitter defenses Transocean's owr
grandiloquent way of putting it is that Rus

in common with the Russians. They will have

Bridging The Gap

AS the months roll by it is obvious from rec.
ords of the American Red Cross that home
conditions and the health and welfare of their
families are still of paramount importance to
the men and women on overseas duty.
Men can fight the enemy, physical discom-
forts, fatigue and Illness but they can't fight
off the haunting fears that assail them when
things are not going right at home.
Miles away, unable to get home to evaluate
situations for themselves, CT Joe and Officer
Tom or Harry are equally terrified when day
after day goes by and there is no word con-
corning the birth of an expected son or daugh-
ter. Bridging this gap between home and the
fighting line is the American Red Cross ready
to lend helping hand wherever 1t is needed

The Literary Guidepost

He studied in Cracow, Bologna,
Rome, Ferrara, Padua. He was a
canon, with an assured income.
Using incredibly crude instru-
ments, he performed the compu-
tations which led Luther and Me-
lancthon to condemn him and the
Catholic church to ban his writings
until 1885. His book ION the Revo-
lutions of Celestial Bodies" some
30 years in the making, has never
yet been published in English,
Kesten says.
The information about Coperni-
Gus himself may be slight. At
least this volume deals more copi-
ously with his extraordinary times
than with him. 1t pauses for a
sketch Of Savonarola, return to
Aristotle, Anax ag oras, Archi-
modes, Plutarch, winds up with
Tycho de Brahe, Kepler, Giordano
Bruno, who burned, and Calico,
who didn't. There must be hun
dreds of proper names, though
there is no index.
With all this profusion of back
ground, you wonder occasionally
whether Kesten came to bury
Copernicus, not to praise him.
But you get in sum total an enor-
NOUS and stirring panorama and
a keener appreciation of the fiery
spirit of Renaissance, Reforma-
ton and the laundering dawn Of
modern science.

Your War; With Ernie Pyle

foxholes could be as plush as this
one.
We kept radio silence to keep
the Japs from finding where we
were. That is, we didn't send any
long distance radio messages.
We had a long way to go from
our starting point, and our route
was a devious one to boot. We
steamed for several days before
we were at our destination off
Japan. We sailed long enough to
have crossed the Atlantic Ocean
if we had been in the Atlantic.
But those days were busy ones.
Our planes began operating; as
soon as we were under way.
Three fighters that had been based
on the island, flew out and land
ed aboard an hour after we start
ed, to fill our complement of
planes.
We were up before dawn every
morning, and our planes were in
the air before sunup. We kept a
constant aerial patrol over our
ships. Some flew at great height,
completely out Of sight. Others
took the medium altitude. And
still others roamed in great cir
cles only few hundred feet above
us.
And out on the perimeter our
little destroyers plowed the ocean,
always alert for subs or airplanes.
You really couldn't help but feel
safe with such a guard around
you.
Living was very comfortable
aboard our carrier. I shared a
cabin with Lieut.. Comdr. Al Mas
tiers from Terre Haute, Ind, just
a few miles from where 1 was
born and raised.
In our cabin we had metal clos
cts and writing desks and a lava
tory with hot and cold water We
had telephone, and colored
boy to clean up the room. Our
hunks were double-decked, with
good mattresses. l was in the up
per one.
Our food was wonderful, and
you could buy a whole carton of
cigarets day if you wanted to
doesn't that make you jealousy
We saw movie every night ex-
cept when in battle. The first four
nights our movies were New
