The War is over-fnished and done
And there's time to spend awhile
With dream or two.
TO dream of yesterday-a moments fun.
A little town in Germany and in it, You.
l came along-a tired and weary GIL Joe
And there you were as if you knew I'd come.
You smiled; l stopped; didn't know
Just what to do; My heart and mind were numb
You spoke no word, just took me by the hand
And drew me cose-kissed me and then
l stood entranced until sharp command
Said-Move-and was my way again
But still like to think what might have been,
If you'd been twenty-one instead of ten.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 81 -
The most inflamnable per-
sonal controversy in our armed
services since the famous court
of inquiry in the dispute between
Schley and Sampson, as to who
won the battle of Santiago, has
been rendered all the more ex-
plosive by the 100.000-word
tumble of contradictions re-
leased by President Truman in
the Pearl Harbor case.
AT the very moment Of the
complete defeat and surrender
OF Japan, the distinguished SOL
der who bore the burden Of
organizing the victory in two
gigantic wars finds his reputa-
ton challenged by three Subor-
dinate officers.
1t seems unlikely that Gen.
Marshall will demand a vindi-
cation. He is a tough and sea-
Soned veteran who has proved
that he can take it,
But il is pretty nearly GER

mand a trial 10 establish their
vindication. there will be a re-
fusal in Congress 10 have the

held at the Washington Navy
Yard in 1901. 10 settle the con-
troversy over the naval victory
of Santiago. July 3, 1898. or
congressional investigation will
probably be the inevitable out
come.
The voluminous reports by
the army and navy leave unan-
Swered the paramount queS-
ton of who issued the order
which kept the American fleet
in the Pacific tied up at docks
in Pearl Harbor.
II is perfectly well-known in
Washington that there was
owerful but inarticulate-
group within the navy which
was opposed to the policy which
kept the fleet bottled up in har-
Dor, where in the end our best
warShips were caught in a state
of unpreparednesS, and wiped
out. NV
Until that question is an

Congress will not be satisfied
