 With American Field Headquar- ters, Western Hunan-CUP)-There are two entirely different types of Chinese soldiers in free China to- day.
 One is poorly fed, undernourished, inadequately armed, and generally clad in rags and straw slippers. The other wears an American khaki un- form with steel helmet, is tough and husky and has the best of American equipment.
 The former generally refers to the latter as American forces" al- though actually they are ordinary Chniese peasants trained and equipped by Gen. Joseph Stilwell in India.
 These Stilwell- soldiers form the new Sixth Army, which was flown from west China to meet the Japanese assault on the Amer ican air base at Chihkiang last De- cember. helped take Myitkyina, were flown to Kweichow province to stem the Japanese advance on Chungking, and now is participat- ing in the Human campaign. The Sixth Army is commanded by Gen. Liao Yao Hsiang, native of Human province.
 My men are designed for attack We cannot satisfy ourselves by mere defensive action," he said. We are fully confident we are able to whip the Japanese as soon as we re- ceive orders to start the attack

50-Year Pin, Purse Pre- scented James K. Brown
 at Testimonial Dinner

One hundred and seventy fellow associates honored James R. Brown of the Waterville division of the Scovill Mfg. O., at dinner last night celebrating his 50th year with the company. A gold pin with three inset diamonds was presented MT. Brown at the occasion held at The Elton. The presentation was made by Samuel c. Gaillard, Jr., general manager. Ralph L. Keaveney, fac- tory superintendent, presented the guest of honor with purse from his fellow employees.
 Speakers who paid tribute to MT. Brown included Arthur H. Goepel, Roy A. Ferris, Fred J. Senior and William J. Gleason. George Zorn, Mae Howard and Frank and Louis Oliver grave several vocal selec- tions. Joseph Grenier was pianist.
 Edward Creem was toastmas- ter. On the committee were Lida West, Mary Wandzell, Max Kohl- brenner, Armond Brown and John M. Donahue.
 The Oliver Brothers with George Zorn entertained with their highly popularized barber shop" chords and melodies of yester-years. AS usual they made an outstanding contribution to the evenings enjoy ment.

ing to the main room. In this room are two large furnaces with ovens for eight bodies.
 A body was placed on a tray and slid into the two foot square oven. Inside, the burning coke was white hot and body was consumed in five minutes. The family of the victim could get the ashes on re- quest and five marks which is equivalent to fifty cents. The ashes were shipped in small clay or metal urns which are piled outside.
 Also in the yard is a large frame with four or five hooks along the top. Victims who disobeyed orders or some other misdemeanor were tied by the hands behind them and hung on the hooks. Others were hung by the ankles sometimes nude until they died. Most of the time it took about four hours, sometimes less for them to breathe their last In another corner is a large gal vanized tub where 1,500 Russian of- ficers were made to stand at atten- tion and then struck at the base ot the skull. They were left there un- til the blood coagulated so as not to Aoiu it all over the yard.

the people in whose hands lies the
decision. If the decision is not made
now, it is hard to believe that it will
be made by those, later on, whose
knowledge of the cost of the war
was not gained first hand. And if
the nub of the Dumbarton Oaks
theory of peace is that the hope of
the world lies in strength, rather
than weakness, universal military
training is an essential step in keep
ing this Nation, as one of the guar
antors of peace, strong.
There are collateral benefits from
universal military service, such as
physical training. But the cardinal
purpose would be the creation of a
trained civilian reserve, standing
behind professional army the size
of which will be governed in part
by what we have to back it up.

Parliament of Britain

Not every American understands
what the Parliament of Great
Britain Is or how it functions. In
deed, it probably also is true that
there are considerable company
OF Britons who are not familiar with
the facts of life about their national
legislature. Edward Coxby as far
back as 1857 demanded to be told:
what's the thing called a parliament
but a mock, composed of a people
that are only suffered to sit there
because they are known to have no
virtue, after the exclusion of all
others that were suspected to have
any?"
And even the learned DR.. Samuel
johnson in ITS told his biographer,
James Boswell, that he regarded
Parliament as being only "a large
council to the King having a
great number of men of property"
among its members who, for their
own interest, will not consent to bad
laws" Yet nobody in his senses
from the moment when Charles
lost his royal head on January 80,
1649, has doubted the power of the
assembled representatives of the
British people to "do anything but
turn a boy into a girl" as the old
proverb puts it.
The Parliament of England def
nitely has been England's govern
ment for at least three hundred
years. Especially as viewed in the
light of the Reform Bill of 1882 and
the Act of 1911, it is true that the
House of Commons rules the British
nation in fact as we'll as theory.
The King reigns and the Lords meet
and discuss and unquestionably have
influence, but it is the elected dele
gates Of the commonalty-the rank
and file of the population-who con-
troll the basic policy OF the kingdom,
not perhaps in every detail yet
certainly in principle.
Hence the Importance of the pro-

$4,000 others died of contagious dis
eases, whereas in this war only 10
have died of pneumonia and 1900
of contagious diseases. Similarly, in
the European theater of operations,
the death rate among our hospital
lied battle casualties was per cent
last time but only 3.9 this time, fewer
than 10000 being lost out of total
of 375,00O wounded.
Better hygiene and important new
drugs help explain this remarkable
showing. So, too, does the bravery
of members of the Medical Corps,
more than 1000 of whom were killed
in action and almost 10000 wounded.
And not the least of other key fac
tors in saving lives were blood dona-
tions. Major General Paul R. Haw-
ley. chief surgeon of the American
forces throughout the European
campaign. places special emphasis
on this point. Without the ample
supply of whole blood and blood
plasma provided by the people of the
United States, it would have been
impossible to achieve the splendid
record that has been achieved.
In other words, a great number of
young men who are living today
would not have had a chance to live
ii we here on the home front had
failed to give little of our blood.
That is, thought that should
crafty every one who has been
donor, and it should serve, in addi-
ton, to remind us that the giving is
still necessary. AS Okinawa makes
clear, the bitter and costly war
against Japan is likely to last for
months to come. Young Americans
continue to fall in battle every day,
and the realization Of, that grim
fact should be enough to insure
that there will be no deficiency
in the home fronts life = saving
contributions.

The Realistic Russians

Inc Russians see no conflict be-
tween their declarations and efforts
at San Francisco for international
peace machinery and their calling
to the colors, for military training,
all youths of fifteen and sixteen
years old. And as far as known,
Russia has shown no anxiety lest
the outside world interpret this act
OF preparedness as evidence which
contradicts the desire of her people
for continued peace. No nation in
this world knows more about the
horrors of war than Russia, and
none has more valid claim on the
desirability of peace.
The realistic Russians, in fact,
are doing exactly what men in this
country, whose counsel and leader
ship we respect in war If not in
peace, feel is the only sensible course
for us to follow. We are not faced
with the necessity of calling up
fifteen and sixteen year old boys,
for our losses in older manpower are
not commensurate with those of the
Russians. But we would be in better
position, few years hence, to
guarantee the permanence of agree
ments reached at San Francisco if
at this time, as they are doing in
Russia, we were adopting a program
for peacetime universal military
training.
This is the logical time to take
the step, with the cost in blood and
treasure of past unpreparedpess so
wildly impressed in the minds of
