The BIS were really humming with
envy last week when they dug the
chatter that two BIS were swinging
into the Apple to apprehend a play
boy, Woo more than likely didn't
favor the idea of participating in

quite comprehendable because both
of the pistol packing paps hail from

THINGS YOU
SHOULD KNOW
Class E AIIotnents

1t is very probable that all of us
are going overseas. The war tension
has increased enormously and there
| is no reason not to believe that all
of us are booked to go over. Since
we are going over, the most logical
thing to do would be to be as well
prepared for the peace as you are
now prepared for war.
You can start now to make one of
your preparations for peace. You
can start saving your money
through the facilities the Army has
set up for your use. Remember,
fellows, it will take cash to rent or
buy that home you always wanted.
1t will take cash to finish college, to
buy furniture, to buy new car or
plane. 1t will take cash to take that
long wanted pleasure trip. :.
And you can have that cash if you
let UNCLE SAM make arrange
mentS for your savings.
CLASS E ALLOTMENTS OF PAY
is sure way you can help yourself.
This allotment is a handy arrange
ment whereby you can have speci-
fled amount of your pay paid every
month to dependent or relative,
bank account, or civilian life insur-
ance company /. and this service
costs you nothing.
You may have a doubt in your
mind as to whether Glass E allot-
ments have anything to do with
Family Allotments. Well the answer
is NO. 1t is very easy to make out a
Glass E Allotment. All you have to
do is see your First Sergeant or
Company Clerk and have the neces-
sary information entered, on W.D.
AGO. Form No. &c. which will be
prepared in triplicate. Your sigma
ture and that of your co or per-.
Sonnel officer are required.
Another familiar question is, chow
long does it take for my allotment
to become effective?" To make long
story short the commencement date
will. be the first of the month fol-
lowing the month in which you
earned your pay. The Office of De-
tendency Benefits, Glass E Allot-
ment Division, Newark, N. j., will
take care of getting your money to
the person or institution you des-
ignate.
Here are few questions and an
sWerS for your benefit
Q. What is the smallest amount I
can allot?
A. There is no fixed minimum
but allotments of sums under five
dollars should be made only for
good reason, for example, to pay
commercial life insurance premiums.
@. Does this mean that one can
not discontinue or change his allot-
ment?
A. No. AS circumstances require,
you may stop, increase, decrease or
take out additional Glass E. allot-
mentS. However. you are asked to
try to limit such adjustments so as
not to burden the Office of Deepen
dency Benefits which administers
millions of allotments each month.
Remember that Glass E Allot-
ments can be made only so long as a
soldier is drawing pay. Your co
must terminate the allotment if
your pay is forfeited by Court Mar
tial sentence or if you earn no pay
by reason of being AWOL.
For all service men who are serv-
ing or are about to serve in combat
areas this is one of the strongest
reasons for taking out CLASS E
ALLOTMENTS.

 The Nazis know the of civilian chaos It was calculated instrument of attack in most of the German offensves Fake radio warnings to populaceS to take their belongings and flee were used with outstanding success in the Low Countries ana North- eastern France during the great break through of 194o The Allies, when they sought to deploy their armies to meet the threat found the roadWays choked with pedestrians bicycsts automobiles, donkey carts horses and wagons, pushcarts - indeed every conceivable type of conveyance all traVeLng III the opposite direction from the planned troop movements German airmen flew low overhead, strafing the tangled mass of humanity, not so much through any particular streak of beStalitythough that was not absent by any meansbu mainly to spread terror and confusion.
 Thus the French British and Belgian Armies boeeed down in morass of civilian chaos. Organlza- ton which should have been functoning at top pre- cison was hopeessy snared The confusion was ideal for the planting of spies and fifth columnists Yes the Nazis knew the uses of civilian chaos, and they did their utmost to promote it in the van o1 every offensive they undertook.
 Now the shoe is on the other foot. German clV- ilians are hopelessly entangled with the military machine which has been driven back from every corner of Europe Air raids refugees and the millions of slave aborers are the ingredients of grim stew which is verging from simmer to boil
 It is in recognition of this danger, and by way ol confession that state of chaos prevails in many parts of the Reich that the Nazis have ordered the reg isration of all civilian refugees cdnceed VrIuay all army leaves, and made provision for immediate anu punishment of deserters and defeatsts among soldiers or civilians. Typical of the ferocty With which the Nazis are holding Germany in the war to the bitter end families of soldiers who surrender to the Allies are being shot en masse. Typical too' IS the manner in which bridges across the Rhine have baen blasted bv storm Troopers and Gestapo men while Germans were crossing
 These devices unquestionaby will keep Germany in the war while longer than would have been pos sible otherwise-the net effect being to bring more complete the final ruin of the Reich But they can only postpone for a while the final reckoning with the madmen of Europe.

HITLER WANTED

Apparently according to military announcement, there will be cleanup end of fighting in Europe, no formal surrender by the Germans, and Victory-n Europe Day" will be known only upon announcement by our commanders that all of Germany has been occupied and all organized resistance has ceased
 This seems to be the decision of the Nazi warriors that there will be no equalization The allied armies of the United States Britain and Russia probably will continue until Germany will have nothing left to surrender
 However the prospect of lingering unorganized guerrilla warfare is not something to look forward to with good cheer. Not only will this mean that many more young Americans will have to remain in Germany even after that nation has been conquered but it may that the fighting will continue long after it might have ceased long after anyone but maoman would realize that further resistance would serve no purpose.
 For this reason the Allied leaders have agreed that either the death capture of Hitler might well serve to bring the conflict to a close
 Meanwhile the length of the in the Pacific may also be directly affected. It is understood by

 The Germans left Arctic, the letter said, August 16, 1914. with out incident, thanks to the Makuis. They are beginning now to suffer, over there, due to shortages of so many things, although for food they manage to get along on the farm. The clothing shortage, the letter continued, is terrible, and they hope for change soon.
 One brother of Mrs Marsh was with the Makuis, but is now serving in the French Army.

SECRECY AT YALTA

But a strong State Department would have saved the President from his error. Sumner Welles, as Under Secretary, never hesitated to stand up for what he thought was the right policy. If he saw the President getting off on tangent he battled it out. He had known FDR since he served as page at the Roosevelt wedding and he wasn't afraid to say what he thought.
 Unfortunately, Ed Stettinius and the new State Department aids have no experience in standing up to the President and probably are afraid to. They were hired on the basis that if they didn't behave they'd be fired and they owe every thing to him.
 It is generally known for in- stance, that Stettinius did not ap- prove the three-vote deal at Yalta, and that he also favored open publicity on this and other things. Tn the end, when the clean light of publicity was focused on the three-vote deal, the American posi- tion was corrected. But Stettinius either wasn't strong enough or didn't have courage enough to put across his views with the President in the first place. If so. it might have saved lot of headaches.
 That is why some of FDR's most genuine we'll -wishers are hoping that he will see the importance of bringing stronger men into the State Department-and do it soon

FDR-HIS OWN SECRETARY OF STATE

Just after the new millionaire team of State Department eXecu- tives was appointed last December, Mrs. Roosevelt telephoned her hus- band. then at Warm Springs, ex- pressing her strong disapproval. She felt that they did not represent her husbands philosophy on foreign af- fairs. FDR's reply, briefly put, was: If they don't behave, I'll fire 'em.
 The President also reminded Mrs. Roosevelt that he was running foreign affairs himself.
 There is no question but that the President is anxious above all else to avoid the failure of his old chief Woodrow Wilson, and has set as his most cherished goal the winning of the peace after the war. But today, with many other problems to watch, the President cannot devote all his time to lore ign affairs. In addition, his periods of rest and relaxation necessarily have become longer, so that he IS not in Washington as much as formerly.
 Since the November elections, actually the President has spent not much more than two months in the White House. He went to Warm Springs shortly after elec-
  tions, then to Hyde Park for Christmas, then to Yalta two days after his inauguration, then imme- diately after his return he went to Hyde Park, and now is away at an undisclosed place again.
 During one important part of his time, the trip to Yalta, the Presl- dent was giving his time exclusively to foreign affairs. And also he keeps in touch with things by courier and cable. However, 1t is impossible for him to watch every thing, and the snubbed invitation to Gen. de Gaulle, is a case in point.

GENERAL SIMON BOLIVAR BUCKNER

Times have changed, and so has the attitude of the Buckner family toward unconditional surrender. It. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner today is doing a great job in leading our new Tenth Army in Okinawa in it's drive to force unconditional sur- render upon Japan.
 Gen. Buckner is the son of It. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner of the Confederate States of America, who was the first to be forced to yield tc the unconditional surrender" de- mands of U. s. Grant In February, 1862, Gen. Buckner sent a note to Grant suggesting an armistice for the pupose of discussing the terms upon which he would surrender Fort Donellson, Tennessee, then under seige. Buckner and Grant had been classmates at West Point, and Buckner once loaned Grant money to get home on vacation but despite this. Grant replied, No terms except an unconditional and immediate surrender can be ac- cepted'
 Furious, Buckner replied to. his former classmate:
