TOUGH. You probably don't know

100000 people who speak English.

No harsh sounds, no endings. And no

and Sephardic or Ladino. Switzer-
land has four: German, French, Ital-

living international tongue. The mod

Arabic has the greatest number of

GOOD LUCK, SOLDIER
by Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell

were maybe college graduate and he
never got beyond the eighth grade, because
you know he have done as much for YOU
You wouldn't know, except incidentally,
who were Protestants, Catholics or Jews
in your company, who were union men and
who non-nion. 1t wouldn't have made
any difference, anyway.
The war has proved the essential cohe-
sion of America. If the Germans and the
Japs had looked us over carefully, and had
had the brains to evaluate what they saw,
they would never have been crazy enough
to try to pull us down If we can lick a
great problem such as this war has been,
are we going to let the comparatively
minor problems of peace bother us? Why,
if we put the same effort on solving our
domestic problems that we have put on
licking the Germans and the Japs, we
could make over the U.SA. the way we'd
like to have it.
1T IS too much to expect that we should
continue the same pace when the urge is
gone, but eleven million ex-servicemen can
have lot to say about what we will do.
am sure of one thing - you like the way
America is headed, or you wouldn't have
put up such fight for it.
Maybe in the near future your machine
gunner will make million dollars and you
will run filling station. What the hell!
1t may be that you will make the million
and the gunner will run the filling station.
That's America - everybody on his feet,
and nobody on his knees
One more thing before stop talking.
You have left your outfit and exchanged
the bugle for the alarm clock, but you
will never be alone again. There are eleven
million men now who belong to the same
club you do, who have had similar expert
ences. You have, all of you, seen lot of
the world and can better appreciate what
we've got in the U.S.A. Because l have
faith in the outlook and ideals of your
generation, should like to live long
enough to see what you do with your
opportunities But Though it is fine day
in the morning for you, it is getting late
in the afternoon for me.
Good luck, soldier. am proud to have

A message to this country's
fighters - from one of them
PACIFIC THEATER

NTow that you are on the way back to
~ the farm, the shop, the desk, or the
mine, or soon will be, listen to few words
from an old brass hat who has watched the
generations pass by. You are not required
to listen any more; nobody can call you to
attention; you are free from red tape, dis
cipline, censorship and restrictions; the
wraps are off you at last. But give me a
chance to speak to you briefly with the
wraps off me, too. Even brass hats are tied
up in red tape, and sometimes they don't
like it any better than you do.
My great regret is that can't expect to

longer. have seen how you respond in
crisis, and it is okay. have heard you cuss
and gripe, and that's normal and proper
You can take it on the nose. and you can
dish it out, with interest. You have made
the grade, as soldiers, sailors and marines,
and you can have my shirt any time you
need it.
When you get home. they will make a
fuss over you. They will be shouting,
Welcome home, heroes, THE thanks of
America" etc. How you will squirm and
wish you could get down to Clancy's with
the boys! All you can do is sweat it out,
make your speech, and be thankful that it
doesn't last very long.
HE home folks think lot of you and
they will only be trying to show their
appreciation. You want your own people
and your own community to feel that you
made good, anyway. They never doubted
that you would; it was only you who had
any qualms about it. And here is where
you cash in; you have been through the
mill, you have stood the gaff, and you
have the satisfaction of accomplishment
that nothing can buy. That is the real
reward of your service. From now on you
can live with yourself, without regrets.
But unless l read you wrong, you will
not think your work as Americans is all
done because the war is over. In the face of
aggression we got together and submerged
all our little differences. In the big issues,
everybody came through. You did not
hesitate to 60 forward and pull buddy
out of machine gun fire at the risk of your
own neck. And it didn't count that you

comfortable club chairs.
Five huge windows and one small

In every direction.
The ceiling, about IA feet high
had white oak beams.
There was a huge fireplace OF
chocolate marble streaked with
white. on the inside were figures
Of medieval knights on horseback
and the inscription: Built in 1898. -
Eight candelabra, each holding six
big candles, lighted the room.
Stepping down nine concrete steps
from the main living room, we en-
tered a 16-foot coffee room with
comfortable lounging chairs for six
persons. Ascending again from the
coffee lounge, we re-entered the liv-
ing room and then climbed SIX steps
into the dining room, which was
done in white oak paneling with
walnut table and 80 chairs.
Directly behind the dining salon
was the smoking room, with red
leather chairs and walnut-paneled
walls and ceiling.
Behind the smoking room was the
kitchen. 1t had the latest culinary
gadgetS, with electric stores, meat
slicers, coffee makers, refrigerators
and countless gadgets such as would
have delighted any housewife.
To the left Of the kitchen was the
servants combined lounge and din
ing room.
The chinaware for the main din
ing room consisted of costly Nielsen
fabric manufactured near Dresden
with Chinese dragon motif. The
linens and wine glasses all bore the
monogram "A. H."
Running parallel with the 3-story
building, one of whose stories was
underground, was a veranda 8 feet
wide and "a feet long with five
arches where Hitler's guests could
drink with the most picturesque
scenery in all Bavaria before them
Along the western ledge were pow
der rooms and wardrobe closets.
There were immense wine and
liquor cellars stocked with the finest
OF beverages, including cognacs dat
ing back to 1882 and the rarest OF
French champagnes. There were
also vast stocks of food.
Ae we left, American guards were
taking over.

caves and tunnels branching out
from Hitler's hideaway so far have

Several Hundred Lights
To Be Restored 10 Service

Milo F. Christensen, superinten-
dent OF recreation, said yesterday
that removal of restrictions in the
use of fuel and electricity, originally
imposed in January by the Commits
sioners as part of Nationwide
conservation move, would have little
effect on recreational programs now.
With the announcement of the
War Production Board yesterday
that the brownout order, which went
into effect February /, had been re-
voked, Col. Joseph D. Arthur, jr., as
sistant engineer commissioner, said
several hundred lights would be re-
stored to twin-street lights.
Col. Arthur said relaxation of the
conservation program would apply
to recreation and school activities.
In January, the Commissioners re-
quested school buildings be used for
school activities only, but later a
modified recreation program was
worked out with the Boards of Rec
reation and Education.
Mr.. Christensen said the full eff
feet OF any resembling of the pro-
gram would not be felt until next
fall and winter.

The delegates spent several min

the text of the capitulation docu-
ment and then ordered the German
delegation to be brought in.
At 1925, Keitel walked in and was
followed by Admiral Friedeburg and
Col. Gen. Stumpff. Keitel, naughty
and self-possessed, his face slightly
flushed, slammed his marshaPs
baton down on the table and took

Once or twice he fingered his col

When he was seated Tedder rose
and asked in cold voice in English,

Are you prepared to sign it?" After
the translation Keitel picked copy
of the document off the table and
replied in harsh Prussian accent
in German, Yes, I am ready"
zhukov then motioned him to
come over to the table. Keitel picked
up his cap, his marshals baton and

serted his monocle in his right eye,
