 Recently, I was caring for a young woman who had been in labor for five and a half days. I had contacted the government nurse, and was instructed to stand by until the delivery was com pleted; to be ready to give in- fant resuScitation. The patient began running temperature, and the labor pains decreased. This was case for doctor, not teacher, so I called on the flight surgeon for help. He tried to get here, but the weather closed in. Those were anxious moments, as the patient grew steadily weak CT. What a welcome sound that was when the army plane came flying into the village. The child was delivered, dead. The wom- ans life was saved. Plasma was given. Thanks to the medical staff of the Army Air Corps.
 Not long ago a call came in from one of our villages report ing an Eskimo adrift on the ice, floating out to sea. Different pri- vate airplane companies were asked to assist, but conditions prevented a search. Search and Rescue of the Army Air Force was summoned.

Stain Looks Ahead

One wonders what effect the nonfraterniza-
ton order to American forces in Germany
will have on the future relations between Ger
many and the United States, in contrast with
the triendliness Russian troops have adopted
toward the Germans Will it ultimately turn
out that the hated bolsheviks have become
beloved buddies of the Germans and the
Americans secretly hated? 1t could be.
Stain is foxy fellow, as his allies are
having opportunity to learn. By allowing his
troops to fraternize with Germans he is pre-
pairing the way for commanding Germany
With France largely communistic already, the
political conquest OF Germany and France
would give Russia full sway over the leading
powers on the continent of Europe.
Not so long ago, the final surrender of Ger
many was delayed to give German soldiers
a chance to lay down their arms to Ameri
and British commanders. The Russians
were then adhered. Now both German sol
diers and civilians are all smiles in the pres
ence Of the Reds.
It's long-range game that Stain is play
ing.

A Misleading Term

This term '.rnopping up which has been
loverworked in these war years Is misleading
It inters that military engagement has
reached the last hour Instead it may continue
for DAYS and weeks In one case 1t has gone
on for months. It was long ago that the bat
tie in the Philippines was said to be In the
moppins up stage The Japanese are not
mopoed up yet Of even longer duration has
been the hopping up of New Guinea.
When we are told, therefore, that the fight
ing on Okinawa is at last reduced to mopplng
up the Japanese occupying some thirty-two
square miles at the islands southern tip, it
would be wrong to assume the process can
be ended by nightfall or tomorrow. 1t may
continue for days or weeks
This is not said to discourage belief in an
American victory there. That is assured But
| it would be disappointing for anyone to think
this bitterest battle of the Pacific war is
actually ending It is far safer to understand
that 'rnopping up indicates the end of strong
| est organized resistance. 1t means that the
odds are so heavy against the foe he canno,
possibly win or fight his way clear.

marines with naval and air support have brok-

That Thrown Switch

The wreck of a northbound Atlantic Coast
Line Havana Special at Walthourville.
Georgia, is attributed to freight train brake
man. 1t is explained that he threw the switch

causing it to be derailed and resulting in
injuries for twenty-three persons, none fatally.

left the track
When wrecking crews have finished their
work and damage claims have been settled,
the Atlantic Coast Line will have paid out
much money which still might be in it's treas
ury but for a switch thrown at the wrong
time. The wreck provides one more example
of the circumstances under which the nation S
railroads are operating in these war days.
In order to meet the needs for military trans.
port and with a heavy manpower shortage
train crews are overWorked, often to the point
more wrecks.
1t would appear that the nation which has
to depend so largely on rail lines for the

freight reasonably ought to consider the man

successful conduct of the war as those o.

Pennies For War Stamps

How many pennies find their way into me
rockets of average men or Womens hand
hays? The number is bound to vary, but one
person who started few months ago to save
and invest them in war stamps has 1ouno
they accumulate at the rate of two hundred
to four hundred a month. This person is
gradually filling a hundred-dollar book with
the stamps bought with pennies, In addition
to the regular purchase Of war bonds.
Pennies do not materially affect the fl
nances of anybody. They come in and usually
90 out without being noticed If they were
allowed to come in and prevented from going
out, save for war stamps, the sales of war
bonds would jump tremendously, provided all
earners adopted this plan.
1t is rot suggested that regular bond pur-
chases be cut down in proportion with penny
savings The idea is that the penny plan be
used to increase bond buying.
It cannot have much effect on the present
campaign, but as the purchase of bonds must
continue, and at an accelerated pace, until
the war is ended it can help to swell gross
bond sales without taxing single investor.

Composed of Wilmington's young leadership,

of the above projects are already established

eminent success in its recent undertakings,
notably the scrap paper drives, the last 81

Bv KENNETH l. DIXON

IN OCCUPIED GERMANY
Cessation of the European con-
flict spelled the end of months Of
combat service for thousands of
medics in this theater but it
promptly created a new ;r>-~eal
problem.
One division .alone-the Eighth
Infantry-found that its medical de.
partment suddenly had acquired re-
sponsibility for:
Some $4,000 German battle cas-.
ualties in >26 military hospitals;
Medical and sanitation supervi.
sion of more than 200, 900 prisoners
of war in the divisions area;
Sanitary control, medical care
and disease prevention among add.
tional thousands of wandering dis
placed persons;
Operation of five civilian hospi-
tails.
The immense medical job liter.
ally was dumped into the lap Of
the department headed by 1t. Col
Robert E. Daniels of Decatur, Ind.
and Asheville, When the Wehr-
macht in northern Germany col
lapsed under the double squeeze OF
the allied and Red armies, leaving
the SchWin sector strewn with ref
ugees, displaced persons of all ma.
tionalities and remnants of the Ger
man army.
In order to do the job, Daniels
promptly pressed into service SOC
German medical officers and civil
ian doctors, German nurses and
the captured medical personnel OF
several Wehrmacht divisions.
Many military hospitals already
were functioning when the eighth
division overran the Schwein sector
but they were swamped by the
influx of casualties. Nearly 1900
patients poured into town by train
the first two days and another SOC
were brought across Schwein lake
by boat.
Where to house the overflow was
the first problem confronting Maj
Pete c. Rumore, division Artillery
surgeon who was placed in charge
of all military hospitals in the Sec
tor. The surgeon, from Brooklyn
(616 Knickerbocker ave. and Eff
fingham, ILL.,, started grabbing
buildings right and left.
Then with a medical staff com
posed of only IS enlisted men head
ed by Capt. David Rosenberg, Por'
Chester, N. Y, Ru:nors did what
would have been considered impos
sible in a civilian hospital-he set
up hospital facilities which handled
a daily turnover of more than 5000
patients during the first days.
Another important problem was
to keep a constant check on the
stream of incoming prisoners, pick
out the sick and wounded ana
transport them to hospitals before
their cases got out of control. Medi-
cal aid men were spotted along the
highways to catch casualties ans
Maj. Rumore rounded up German
vehicles until he had 80-odd addi-
tional 'ambulances.
