three years, eight months and
seven days after japanese planes
swooped down from the skies and
dealt our Navy a treacherous
blow-a veritable stab in t h
back-from which the war lords
in Tokyo fatuously assumed we
could never recover. But the reck
oned without the fighting spirit
of America; they reckoned with
out American genius, American
productive capacity, American de
termination, American patriotism
in a word, they reckoned with
out American "guts."
We were down, but we were
not out. America staggered to its
feet-badly hurt Keeling, groggy,
confused, but fighting mad. Then
and there dissension ceased, dis
unity vanished, and the Ameri-
can people-the butcher, the bak
err and the candlestick maker
joined ranks to meet the threat
of wra. United in the presence OF
a common danger, sobered by the
menace to the American way of
life, our people subordinated all
else to the great task of winning
the war. We fought back from
the very brink of defeat and
how close we were to it the mas
ses of our people do not realize
even yet-and now after more
than three and half years, we
have won the victory, purchased
at the cost of so much precious
blood and stupendous treasure.
We are willing to forget the
treasure, the money doesn't mat
ter. But we do not forget and
we can never forget, the 100000
gallant American boys who have
laid down their lives to keep this
country ''the land of the free" In
this jubilant hour of triumph we
are sobered by the recollection OF
the grievous price that has been
paid for victory. Our eyes dim
with tears when we remember
those who are not coming back
those gallant youths who keep
the eternal bivouac of the dead
on many a far-off battlefield in
scores of foreign lands. America
will never forget them nor cease
to hold their memory dear.
X X X
And now the war is over-real
ly, actually over. It seems almost
too good to be true. Jerfidious
Japan has followed evil Germany
down the bitter road of utter de-
feat. The super-men have met
their match. Their illicit and av-
aricious dreams of conquest have
ended. They are tasting the dregs
of the cup they intended for us.
Now they will find that the way
of the transgressor is hard. 1t is
just and right that they should
make the discovery. T h e y

Corps outfit that has reported a

Well, the major showed up, as

was showing the major around, ''if
the pioneers can use candles, we
can"
That's right" agreed the major,
"and those porcelain insulators
along the wall sure make fine
sconces. I'll remember that when
I get back to Denver"
A few Of the boys were a little
embarrassed at this. Most of them,
though, realized that the major
probably was pretty good moon

1t is pleasant to note that when
the company was ordered forward
they left the generator where the
Signal Corps could find it and saw
to it that the proper Signal Corps
persons were informed of the loca-

Labor Advances
 By
 Ruth DembO

Today is International Women'S Day. Initiated in 1908 by the wo- men of America to stimulate the women's suffrage movement this day calls forth the heroic contr1- buttons that the women of the world are making to win the war and peace. With our sisters all over the world, in England, China, Russia and wherever freedom is be- ing fought for we join hands and pledge that we who have felt the horrors of war will never permit 1t to envelop us again.
 We who give our brothers and husbands, sons and daughters for a free world pledge to make this freedom real for all peoples of all races and religions.
 We who stand shoulder to shoul- der with our men in the factory. on the farm, and even battlefield will work with renewed vigor until victory is ours.
 And to the women of America, 18 million of whom are holding down paid jobs, the new world must offer even greater economic opportunity. In all types of in- dustry women should earn equal pay for equal work, and in the arts, sciences and professions women should enjoy complete equality with men.
 Child care facilities and services must also be increased so that wo- men are not tied down to the home and deprived of active participa- ton in community affairs. For the woman, to whom Is given the job of building a good home and good family life, can best serve her fami- ly when she is permitted to fulfill her role as good citizen.
 Yes, the women of America ask for a prosperous America with jobs for all who want to work, including women. For they must not be forced back into the home after the war unless 1t Is their choice to go back Women have won new recognition in every field and this recognition must be extended.
 And SO with the women of the world who have been brought closer to us in war we unite in the building of peace that will strengthen youth, family, and home, and provide decent jobs for all.
