ing poem has reached the editor
desk. 1t was written by Pfc.
Dewey G.. Mizell in memory of
his brother, Pfc. Houston Mizell,
who died in the service and ded-
icated to friends and relatives.
Sad news from Europe
Has wrecked the life
Of loved ones and Mother
And his young wife.
Sad news from Europe
That we hated to face,
News that brought tears
At the old home place.
His letters were welcomed,
Filled with love complete,
Now we grieve over the one
That we soon hope to meet.
He so nobly gave his life
To keep his country free
And now to keep it safe
1t might even take me.
For a country like ours
We would all gladly die,
So we will all try to meet him
In the sweet by and by.

of the Japan Political Associa-

country might be "overwhelm-

would be "ready to talk ace

when Japan anG other nations

EASY INVASION

Engineers Says Beaches

WASHINGTON, July 28.-(R-
An Army Engineer General, Vet
eran of scores of landings in the
Pacific, said today he be-
lives beaches of the japanese home
island and the China Coast will
be less difficult for invasion from
Typographical standpoint than
those encountered up to now.
Brig. Gen. William F. Heavey,
Commander of the Second Engi-
neer Special Brigade, just returned
from two and a half years and
eighty-two landing operations IN the
Pacific war, made these points:
The japanese and China coast
beaches do not have the hazar-
dous coral formations that fringe
the beaches of most OF the South
west Pacific islands.
Landing forces going ashore on
Japan will have behind them long
experience and better equipment.
The weather forecasting in the
Pac fic is so good that invaslons
can be timed to fit in between
typhoons, making possible landings
during that storm season.
Heavey said General Douglas

landing on Leyte at time when
the enemy thought he wouldn't
