charge of seven workers and a pro-

while Mrs. William Ball, 1891 North
ampton street NV, wife of Col.
Ball, takes hopes from the assur-
ances of her friends in the service
that a great search is in progress
and will continue.
They tell me-" Mrs. Ball said,
that while the Pacific Ocean is
big, the Army Air Forces and the
United States Navy also are big,
and they won't give up easily"

Best Of Jap Army
To Be Met in China,
Gen. StiIweII Thinks
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Mar. 3.-The best
OF the japanese Army will be met
in Manchuria, predicts Gen. Joseph
w. Stilwell, Army Ground Forces
commander, who says two-thirds of
Nippon's warriors are in China now.
The former commander of Amer
lean and Chinese troops in China
and Burma made the predictions
last night in a question period fol-
lowing his address to the Cleve-
land Ordnance Association here.
Gen. Stilwell was asked if it will
be necessary to defeat Japan in
China. He replied: 'Two-thirds
of the japanese Army is in China
right now. 1t is as strong as it was
when the war started"
Best in Manchuria.
Asked if the Japs have used their
best troops in China, he answered
The Jap divisions there are heavy
in thunderstorm to a division in
stead of the usual $4,000. The best
of the japanese Army will be met
in Manchuria.
The veteran officer parted a
query concerning his withdrawal
from China by saying, Il don't
speak English
In his speech. the general de-
clared that when the American SOL
der gets back home, he is going to
wonder about a lot of things. espe-
cially why everybody could not
have borne an equal share of the
load.
Will Ask About Strikes.
Among other things the grown
up and developed" soldier will Won
der about, he added, is how it was
that so and so could stay home
and make money while he was being
shelled and bombed and how there
could be strikes while he was
fighting.
I'VE must get ready for him. he
deserves all we can do for him." Gen
Stilwell said.
THE location of the man on foot
struggling forward with the help OF
artillery, tanks, air, his own sup
porting weapons, and all the serv-
ices, is still the gauge by which we
measure success or failure. If he
gets forward, we win; if he is forced
back, we lose"
The veteran campaigner said he
didn't know how the writer's are
going to make "a glamorous hero
out of the muddy and dilapidated
CT with two weeks whiskers and
a barnyard aroma on him."
Cites Daily Prayer.
That's their job he said. "and
they had better work it out, or cir
culation is going to fall off"
There are going to be a lot OF
foot soldiers, Gen. Stilwell said, who
won't cheer every time they read
the magazine story about how the
captain aviator made off with the
gal. They will want the bazooka
man or the number two scout to win
once in while"
Picturing the average CT as a
pretty intelligent" fellow who knows
the score. Gen. Stilwell said the CT
is a realist and that his primary con-
Germ is typified by his daily prayer
"'Oh, Lord, distribute the bullets
as you do the pay: Let the officers
get most of them"
