We should know. DIDN'T we nave
about the greatest of all civil wars,
the greatest in the numbers of
killed, wounded and dead Of disease?
And didn't we win it; that is, didn't
we Northerners win it? We GER
tainly did. And look at the results!
We've got Bilbos and Rankins and
McKellars running the country, or
running the Congress, which runs
the country.
And so, having demonstrated our
capacity. we will now straighten
out the little mess into which some
four hundred million Chinese have
got themselves We will show them
the democratic way. Our greatest
expert has left the field of actual
battle, but he is here with us in
Washington and being heard in the
halls of Congress. He IS telling our
law-givers what should be done for
the Chinese-what, indeed. he would
be doing this moment himself for
the Chinese If an upstart Congress
member hadn't irritated him into
resigning; how he would bestoT
upon the Chinese the blessings OF
democracy.
Winter of 1881 Recalled.
Back in the cold winter of 1881
our hero was, even as now, sacri-
ficing himself on the altar of public
duty. He was serving as Secretary
of War. The times were troublous
Some millions of Americans were
becoming restless. They wanted tc
eat. The War Secretary-there is
no point in concealing his name, it
was Patrick J. Hurley-sympathizec
with this desire and undertook te
do something about it. He had 6
plan. 1t was embodied in letter
from a fellow Oklahoman, John
B. Nichols of the Oklahoma Gas
Utilities Co. of Chickasha, Okla
Gen. Hurley forwarded the letter
with his Endorsement. to Col Arthur
Woods, who was in charge of Presi.
dert Hoover's paciflcation program
The plan. quoting from the letter
provided:
Sanitary containers Of five (5)
gallons each should be secured il
large numbers SO that four "a will
always be left in large kitchens
where the restaurants are serving
a large volume business. The con-
tainers should be labeled MEAT
BEANS, POTATOES, BREAD anc
OTHER ITEMS Some one from th'
Salvation Army with truck shoulo
pick up the loaded containers every
morning and leave empty ones. The
civic clubs, restaurants, the propri-
etors and the workers should bt
asked to cooperate in order to take
care of all surplus food in as sani-
tary a way as possible. In other
words, when a man finishes his mea
he could not (after lighting his Gig
arctic or cigar leave ashes on the
food which he was unable to con-
sumo.
It Wasn't for Charity.
Baskets or sacks must be placed
In each store and particularly those
operating meat markets. The pro
prietor of each firm, together witt

pear on the market? Are they

reach India?-O. M. B.

A. According to a 1943 report OF
| the Selective Service System, the

closely guarded industrial secrets.
@. Is a bad-conduct discharg
from the Navy the same as dis

A. A bad conduct discharge is
discharge without honor for conduc

Yank Who Wiped Gu
Al Least 10 Germans
Finally Is Killed
BY the Associated Press.

~ tAhc AooOSaakr2 Atsas
WITH THE 83d INFANTRY d.
VISION, Feb. 15.--The Germans
finally killed Bill Miller, but not
until the Illinois doughboy had killed
at least 10 of them and stopped an
enemy counterattack singlehanded.
Pfc. Wilbur G. Miller, Des PLANES,
H., didn't have to be in the front
lines, but he. wanted to make the
war personal affair
In Normandy's hedgerows his
Browning automatic cut down many
q German until a slug in the hip
put him in the hospital.
His pals will tell you that while
he was convalescing from that
wound Bill Miller used to pray for
recovery so he could get back into
the line. When he left the hospital,
Pfc. Miller had a limp. Three times
he was offered rear echelon as
| signments. but turned them down.
His division laid siege to the Ger
man town of Birgel, west of Dueren.
The Germans opened a counterat-
tack the morning of December is
and famed out into a muddy COM
Imunication trench in front OF Bill
Millers position.
Firing steadily to keep them down,
the Illinois soldier moved across the
frozen ground to the very edge OF
the trench. Then he sprayed the
trench from one end to the other,
killing every German in it.
Realizing that another wave of
Germans was attacking, Pfc. Miller
dropped in among the enemy dead
and waited, reloading while he stood
there and squirting out over the
top of the trench.
Then they came for him-40 to so
Germans. Pfc. Miller squeezed his
trigger. He wiped out the whole at
tack and forced another 80 men to
surrender rather than face his
devastating fire.
That was Bill Miller's greatest
moment.
But just then an enemy potato
masher grenade whistled into his
trench from a hidden position and
killed him.

Exile Polish Premier
In London Denounces
Partition by Allies
By the Associated Press.

II os TIC hscOSidttu FIcSS-
LONDON. Feb. 15.--Socialist Pre-
mier Tomasz Arciszewski of the
Polish government-in-exile today
accused the Big Three of dictatorial
acts, and declared Poland would
never surrender to slavery and the
new partition done by her Allies
For As minutes Mr.. Arciszewski
leveled accusations at Soviet Russia,
and then terminated his press con-
ference when an American corre-
spondent, Phil Ault of the United
Press, asked:
Does this government in London
propose to do anything but talk?"
For moment the 67-year-old
Prime Minister hesitated, then re-
torted:
| "Of course, you may think these
expressions of opinion by this gov
eminent are superf1uous, but under
| the orders Of this government are
important forces fighting on land,
sea and air-and that is more than
talking"
Will Not Give Up Premiership.
Mr.. Arciszewski said the decision
taken by his government in rejecting
the Big Three proposals would Ger
tainly meet the approval of the
Polish people. which this govern
ment legally represents and to which
they are loyal" He said he would
not resign because of the Crimea
decisions, because that would mean
accepting the dictates of foreign
powers"
Mr.. Arciszewski accused the
Russians of arresting, deporting
land even killing" Polish home army
officers and men.
The situation in Poland today is
tragic he said "The Russian Army
has been followed by their secret po-
lice. There have been great requisi-
tions and mass looting. The Russians
not only are not giving the Poles
food, but are taking food away from
the Poles.
MY government does not believe
that by including some new people
in the proposed government, by de-
cisions taken in Moscow, that 1t will
be any more free than the govern
ments in Lublin and Romania."
Poles Urged to Fight On.
Ed Morgan of the Chicago Daily
News asked if the London govern
ment would revoke the citizenship
of Stanislaw Mikolajczyk, former
premier. if he Joined the new gov
ernment. Mr.. Arciszewski replied he
had answered that question before
What he said before was that the
Polish people would act against Poles
who deserted the London govern
ment when Poland is free" add
ing that those taking part in the
regime would 'be held jointly re-
sponsible for acts carried out by the
Warsaw government"
He said, concerning the proposed |
elections in Poland, that Parlia-
ment elected now would not be
free" and that, furthermore, any
election now or in the near future
would be inadequate because of the
four or five million Poles in Ger
many and Russia, where they were
deported."
Meanwhile, in Rome, the Polish |
public relations Office announced |
that the London government had |
appealed to Polish troops fighting in
italy ito carry out their duty, re-
tanning peace, dignity and solidar- |
ity,@ despite 1.-The heavy blow which
the Polish cause has suffered" be- |
cause of the Crimea decisions.
