The Navy Reports

Fleet Admiral Ernest j. Kings an
nual report gives an almost breath
taking picture of the worldwide
achievements of what is incompa-
rably the greatest navy on the globe.
On the operational side, Admiral
King lists no less than - naval en-
gagements during 1914. not counting
submarine activities. While most Of
these were in the Pacific. our Navy
played an important role in the Nor
mandy invasion last June, together
with combat actions in the Mediter-
ranean and elsewhere in European
waters.
Naturally the emphasis is placed
on the war in the Pacific, where gi-
gantic American fleets, in conjunc-
ton with land forces, have during
the past year advanced us 5000 miles
nearer Tokyo and enabled US "to be-
gin the assault upon the inner de-
fenses of the Japanese Empire it
self" Behind that momentous
achievement lies an intricate pattern
of strategy, tactics, logistics and in
innate coordination Of all factors
probably unique in the history Of
warfare.
Admiral King stresses the concept
of q balanced fleet" with adequate
naval aviation, and with the battle

Easter. lo45

Never before in human history
should Easter mean as much as it
means this year. The two great
wars through which the whole world
has passed within the experience of
a single generation have had the
effect of obliging people of every
nation, every class, every condition
to think. of the significance of
the Resurrection as it applies to
those whom they have loved and lost
In the twin conflicts.
In the Christian religion, Jesus is
the symbol of merited immortality.
He comes from the tomb in the gar
den of Joseph of Arimathea as "the
first fruits of them that slept" In
His own triumph over death, all who
follow him are "alive unto God" He
is the fulfillment of divine mercy.
In Easter His mission is accom-
plished, His sacrifice compensated.
And the same unqualified affirma-
ton may be registered for the thou
sands who since His time likewise
have spent themselves for holy pur-
poses. The civilization which He
sponsored has cost and is costing
sweat and blood and tears to main
tain, to preserve and to extend. No
minute passes without His selfless
example being initiated, without
His cause being advanced by men
and women who humbly and un-
pretendingly serve Him. The eth
les, the standards of life, the de-
mocracy, the peace, the steady
progress toward the Kingdom of
God upon earth which He taught
and preached are the basic issues of
the contest now prevailing. The
victory which the forces of freedom
are striving for is victory which
will contribute to the expansion of
Christian philosophy and practice.
If it we're not so, Christ would be
Knocked anew The logic of His
leadership is plain. To deny Him
would be to contradict the elemental
instinct of the human race. John
Fiske six decades ago summed up
His impact upon men in the words;
81 believe in the Immortality of the
soul, not in the sense in which I
accept the demonstrable truths OF
science, but as supreme act OF
faith in the reasonableness of Gods
work" The mathematics of the very
existence of life are involved in the
Easter message.
And who can doubt the applica-
bility of the promise of the Resur-
rection to others, when it is accepted
with respect to Christ? His broth
ers, paying their lives at Two Jima
or f1 the valleys of the Rhine and
the Ruhr, will follow Him to the
House of His Father No others
have a more valid right to stand
about the throne,

ship as "a versatile and essential

wise stresses the necessity for "har-
monious integration within and be-
tween" the sea and land services,
making possible amphibious opera
tions on a major scale as demon

Normandy. Another vital factor is
the functioning of the supply serv-

and assuring uninterrupted progress
toward final victory. That pipeline
starts far inside the Continental
United States and reaches, with
many branches, to our most ad-
vanced outposts. It consists not
merely of land depots but vast
"fleet train" composed of tankers
and other auxiliary vessels, which
makes possible the supplying Of war
ships at sea. thereby diminishing
their constant dependence on land
bases and increasing their mobility.

Murder at Auchen

Inere are sinister lmpIlCaLlOnS IN
the Staying of Burgomeister Franz
Oppenhof of Aachen, the first mayor
appointed by the Allied military
government in a major German city.
Months ago, when it became appar-
ent that the sacred soir' of the
Reich was to be invaded, the Nazi
leadership began warning the home
front against collaborating with our
forces. threatening to destroy any
one who dared to do so. No German
was to help us restore order; chaos
was to be promoted, not merely to
create confusion behind our lines
but to leave us a legacy of serious
trouble long after the end of the
war.
BY deliberately stirring up such an
atmosphere, Hitler and his chief
partners in crime, while holding out
in the mountains of Southern Ger
many, might live on the hope that
the restoration of order throughout
all of Europe could thus be frus-
trated for so long that the Allied
coalition might eventually crack and
they themselves be able to carry on
underground activities denying us
the full fruits of victory. In the ter
ritory occupied by our forces to date.
this is not the way conditions are
working out, but the killing of Op-
penhof-which was carried out, ac-
cording to the Berlin radio, on orders
from secret court of "honor"
gests that the Nazis have not aban-
doned the idea of Furnishing COL
laborating Germans in an effort to
burden us with an occupation prob
lem of the most trying sort.
The Oppenhof case. In other
words, which was followed almost
Immediately by a kindred crime in
a small village south of Aachen, may
we'll mark the beginning of long
series of such killings. After the de-
feat of the Kaiser's armies in the
First World War. scores of political
assassinations took place in Ger
many. Nearly every one of them has
remained unsolved to this day, but
since most of the victims were anti
militaristic and disposed to live up to
the terms of the peace, the evidence
strongly indicates that their deaths
were the result Of a single, we'll
directed conspiracy. In view of the
nature of the Nazis, a similar but far
more bloody conspiracy is not un-
thinkable now, particularly because
our advancing forces almost GER
tainly are leaving behind them
underground nests of Gestapo ter
roristS.
Considered against this back
ground, the murder at Aachen must
be regarded as a political crime
calculated to show that the arm Of
the Gestapo is long and that it can
strike down other Oppenhofs even
where our military control is strong
est. This is at once such an arrogant
and potentially dangerous challenge
that we may assume our Allied COM
mand will lose no time in meeting it.

CiviIiun Heroes
From the Topeka Capital.

from the Topeka capital
A few days ago Harry Woody was
harvesting corn at farm near Salina.
A stalk stopped the rollers on the ma
chine he was using and as he attempted
to loosen the stalk his right hand was
drawn ints the rollers. Unable to re-
lease himself, and unable to obtain as
sistance, Woody managed to, get Out his
pocket knife, open the blade with his
teeth and free himself by amputating
four fingers.
Woody Is soldier of agricultural pro-
duction. He was doing job to help
win this orld-girdling conflict. And
he was injured in the process just as
surely as any soldier In battle.
