VICTORY OVER FOGS
LOOMS FOR AVIATION

Another valuable factor has developed
out Of the war, and this time to the bene-
fit Of commercial aviation.
Long an unbeatable foe to air trans
port, fogs now appear to be on the way
out. Flying instruments, radio beams
and the like have gone far TO lick the fog
once a plane gets off the ground. But
until the British made up their minds to
send war planes off the fields fog or no
fog, that element had the upper hand.
If the method turns out to be practical,
it Will make landings in fogS compara-
lively easy and safe.
What the BritonS did was simply "to
burn the fog out" Perforated pipes were
laid parallel to the landing strips. Then
gasoline was pumped into the pipes un-
der high pressure and men with torches
raced out to ignite the spraying fluid
Soon sufficient ceilings literally We're
scOrched out.
Now that it can be told, British war
authorities are not hesitating to say that
the Ardennes victory was Won because

thought too thick and they were caught
mapping when the bombs began to fall.
Already commercial concerns IN Brit
ain are constructing fields and hangers

Of the set-ups-
1t is we'll that the postwar world will
be able to CLEAN some measure OF good
from the war.

ROME, July 16. up, -- Polish
soldiers in Italy face the discon-
certing warning Cf then leader
Gen. WladyslaW Anders, that re-
turn to their homeland now meant
going not to Poland but to Rus

captivity and slavery.
Addressing men Of the Second

bloody Italian campaigns. Anders
said, the only thing sure is work

However, he stressed that he
would exert no pressure to prevent
any soldier iron resigning from
the corps and returning to- Poland.
Anders spoke to his veterans dur
ing tour Of base units on July II,
and he made no attempt to conceal
his opinion of both the new Polish
government and Russia.
UNDER SLAVERY
He said. You know what is go
ing on in our tatherland. You
know that Poland is under slavery
and that the nation is mdcr a
power thrown upon her by foreign
agents.
You know that the NKW CRuS-
sian extra territorial secret police
operating in Poland is arresting
hundreds and that the economic
situation III Poland is critical You
know that the Poles are deport-d
nOrthWard and that with every day
it is getting worse.
1t is a sad truth but we have to
realize it. We never will agree
with that reality AS I said
some time ago in Russia, We will
return to Poland with arms in our
hands"

WASHINGTON-When news.
paper extras brought word
early in the morning OF Novem-
Der IL, 1918, that the war TO
end all wars" had ended, folks
on the u. S. home front went
wild with JOY.
Throughout the nation sirens,
whistles and bells helped spread
the tidings. Workers deserted
factories. offices, shops and
stores to join housewives, chill
dren and veterans of the Civil
War in monster parades. Men
and women shouted, laughed,
cried. sang and danced in the
streets.
Some persons sought the quiet
of city and village churches to
offer silent thanksgiving. Most
demonstrations, however, were
hysterical, horn blowing. con
fetti-throwing, flsg-waving Jam
borees. Effigies of the Kaiser
were flung into thousands OF
great bonfires. Theaters, cafes
and saloons were swamped, the
celebrations lasting all day and

RhineIond Occupation
in '18 Proved Headache

WASHINGTON - The AL
lies have smashed the Nazi war
machine but they still have a big
job on their hands - military
control of Germany until the
! German people set up govern
ment which will not be a threat
to world peace. What that job
will be like is shown by what
happened in 1918.
Allied occupation of the
Rhineland after World War |
was prolonged headache for all
concerned.
THE ARMY OF OCCUPATION
Six days after the Armistice,
a million Allied soldiers under
GeneraliSsimo Foch starte d
moving into western Germany.
French, British, Belgian and
American troops took over
Rhine bridgeheads. he Ameri-
can Third Army, 100000 strong,
moved into the Coblenz sector.
The force was later reduced to
about 1900.
General Pershing issued this
order TO the American Army Of
Occupation:
You come not as oppreSsors
but simply as instruments OF a
strong, free government whose
purposes toward the people OF
Germany are beneficent. Dur
ing your occupation the civilian
population is under special safe
guard Of the honor of the Amer
lean army Actions of pill
lage will be punished with the
severest penalties.
The Rhenish people were noti-
fled that property and personal
rights would be respected. Bur-
gomasters, other local officials,
stayed in office; public utilities
were operated by Germans un-
der supervision.
RIOTS AND STRIKES
Restoration of order was COM
plicated by food riots, political
upheaval. industrial chao s,
strikes and the unemployment
of hundreds of thousands of de-
modified German soldiers. Ger
man food, augmented by sup
plies from the Allies, was dis
tributed by local authorities un-
der Allied control. Strike activi-
ties were restricted and German
soldiers were put to work re-
pairing roads.
Reich communities had not d.
rectly felt the destructive force
of warfare. The war-weary force
of warfare. The war-weary peo-
pie were for the most part con-
ciliatory toward the invaders.
However, many Rhinelanders
turned sullen when they got
word of the peace terms.

lean Army of Occupation, said;
"A future occupation will find
Us better prepared His report
on our military government OF
the Rhineland was the foul.da-
ton of the present Allied Mill
tary Government of Occupied
Territories.
There was constant agitation
in Congress for the withdrawal
of our forces in Germany, even
though the Yanks and the Boche
on the whole hit it off quite well
Finally, the Senate adopted a
resolution that the occupation
army be brought home and

Steamship Lines To Alaska May Get New Ships

 Magnuson's amendment to in clude in the ship disposal bill a provision permitting the maritime commission to construct or re- model ships for the Alaskan lines was defeated in the Senate We'd nesday by minority leader White who said the maritime law already authorized the maritime commis- sion to construct new vessels for any domestic company making ap- plication.

 Senator Magnuson said that Senator White offered to go with representatives of the Alaskan lines to the commission to try and work out solution to the prob lem.

ANCHORAGE, Dec. IA R - Elmendorf army airfield head quarters reported Thursday that the land rescue crew had reached the wreckage of two P-38 fighter planes which crashed and burned after an aerial collision Wednes- day.
 Both pilots apparently died in- stantly. The accident happened in routine maneuvers of the Eleventh airforce in the Susitna river area ten miles from Anchorage.
 Later field headquarters an- nounced that the dog team driven by Stanley J. Hundorf of Mulato, Alaska, which has figured in many Alaska army plane rescues had been flown to Goose Bay to mush to the scene.
