After a brief leave, he took over command
in the South Pacific in October of that year,
and until June, 1914 he ran the japanese
ragged until he was given command of the
Third Fleet in the central Pacific because
the South Pacific was relatively quiet.
During his South Pacific command, among
other notable engagements, Halsey fought the
famous battle of the Solomons off Guada,-

To thwart this, Admiral William F. Hal

as usual with him. the drive is meeting with
success His Third Fleet planes have struck
twice within tWenty-four hours at suicide
bases on Kysuhu, the southernmost of ia

hitting the enemy hard and often is the best
way to defeat him, it is probable that before

Civilian Aid Needed

The United States is nov in the 182nd week
of war against Japan.
The progress of our armed services since the
attack on Pearl Harbor has been phenomenal.
We have created a navy excelling all other
navies afloat. We have supplemented China S
resistance with equipment and supplies so ex-
tensively that the Japanese in south China
are being forced out of that highly strategic
gion. We have battled our way from Austria
liza to the Philippines and are rapidly winning
the crucial battle of Oknawa.
We have moved our naval headquarters from
Hawaii to Guam, conquering all japanese is
land outposts en- rout We have defeated the
Japanese fleet whenever and wherever it has
been contacted
We have bombed Tokyo and other chief cities
of the japanese home islands. And now we
are sending additional Army and Air Forces,
released from European areas, to join the

Defense Services

At the last meeting of the City Council a
suggestion was presented that official recog-
milton be given the services of the Wilmington
Ci--lian Defense Council, These services were
so efficient and given so willingly that any reso-
luton the Council drafts cannot exaggerate
their value.
True as this is with respect of the direction
given the Councils activities by Louis j. Pois-
son, the chief of the organization, and C.
David Jones, the commander, it applies equal
ly to every man and woman who gave time

And it is equally true of the State Defense
Council, Under whose authority the local Coun'
Gil functioned, and which alerted the Old
North State throughout its length and breadth.
No city, town or crossroads in North Carolina
but had its defense staff
Because of it's shipbuilding and other war
industries, its oil terminals, its exposed ocean
front and easy approach from the sea, New
Hanover County and Wilmington were in grav'
er peril during the German U-boat campaign,
tina many persons realized. Nor should the
danger of sabotage by enemy agents be dis
counted, for it is known that spies and sabo-
teurs invested the neighborhood throughout the
period of Germany's greatest activity.
That no serious damage done is at
tributable in larger part to the services OF
the civilian Defense Council and its faithful
volunteer forces-servces that were willingly
given throughout the twenty four hours of ev-
cry day
It has been complained in high and low
quarters that the civilian population OF h e
country did not respond generally to calls
upo it for service when the nation was forced
into var by the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor. And it is true that the population at
large was slow and even reluctant to accept
the responsibilities that war brought. But the
complaint in justice must exclude the hum

the burdens of home defense.

recognition of his stature as a
creative writer Of the very first

Thomas Mann is now an Ameri-

it is important to remember that
today.
At least two or his most i'm
portant works, "Buddenbrooks'
and THE Magic Mountain" were
published in Germany in the 'Twen-
ties. There he wrote the first of
the novels dealing with the Bibli-
cal story of Joseph, the monu-
mental work that was completed
last year with the publication OF
Joseph, the 'Provider," the last
of the series.
Thomas Mann left Germany
when Hitler came into power. He
went into exile. OF an old Han
seattle family, long rooted in the
Baltic port OF Lubbock, he went out
to resist by every means he could
the tyrant who had seized power
over his native land. A noteworthy
series of shortWave broadcasts he
made to the German people was
published in 1943 under the title.
Listen, Germany It is impor-
tant to remember today that there
were many Germans who, like
Thomas Mann, went out into the
world to fight NaN tyranny.
