On Way To Manila

General Macarthur is now headed down the
last road to Manila 1t has been fire in his
heart since 1912, sustaining him over the long
road when he had to start from Australia
with nothing but a handful of men and NUM-
tons.
1t is a consuming fire in his heart; it held
him together when other, lesser men would
have cracked, broken, given up in despair.
Steadfast, unwavering, he saw his dream come
true Up through the islands, his forces slow
ly but steadily increasing, he moved back
to the Philippines
Viewed in the cold light of reason, it is
something that couldn't be done Distance. an
entrenched enemy, lack of shipping, lack of
all kinds of supplies, lack of men-all these
made it impossible. But he did it, 1t is a
triumph of resolution, faith and determination
The Japs are having more to resist than
men and material. They have against them
the power in a mans heart and that in the
hearts of the men with him. 1t is something
that transcends the material. The material it
mast have but without such power all equip
ment is valueless in the end.

Sound Decision

Decision of Wilmington's Community War
Chest to discontinue services of the American
City Bureau in conducting its annual finan-
volved, wise one.
Principal reason is that the Chest is now well
established, the days of feeling its way
ahead are over The services of the Bureau
were highly essential then. Now, after three
years of successful operation, the organization
is in position to take over this job without
outside assistance.
Although the bureau charged flat fee which
would have been less than two per cent if
fixed on percentage basis, discontinuance OF
the private agency will save considerably on
the expense of the drive. Now, every cent
goes directly to the local or national agencies
represented in the Chest.
Back in the days when each Wilmington
charitable, welfare or other agency conduct
ed it's separate financial drive, they were al
WAYS successful without outside assistance. II
is reasonable to presume, now that they are
united, this fine degree of attainment Of fl
nancial results will continue.
In addition, it is obvious that any organiza-
ton that functions as smoothly in its day-in
and day-out operations as the Wilmington
Chest, need not bring in outside help for its
financial campaign now. The men and wo-
men who run it IL months of the year are
just as capable as any outsider in presenting
the appeal for funds. The leadership has been
demonstrated in many and varied assignments
since the organization was established, there
fore why call for extra hands on a task that
is just as normal function of an all-com-
munity chest as distribution of the funds?

ENEMY SAYS YANKS
Use NAZI UNIFORM
By the Associated Press

A German broadcast, charging
Americans with violating inter-
national law, declared last night
that company of American
troops in German uniforms and
equipped with German weapons
was encountered Friday night in
the Belgian bulge.
In the early days of their coun-
teroffensive, the Germans used
these tactics which they now were
attributing to the Americans.
A number of Germans caught
behind American lines in U. S.
uniforms were shot, as provided
by international law.
The Berlin broadcast, as record
ed by the Associated Press in New
York, said:
can American assault in the
strength of one company, dressed
in German uniforms and equipped
with German weapons, entered
the German main fighting line at
Rorzee, east of La Roche in tae
night from Friday to Saturday, it
was stated by authoritative Ger
man quarters.
They were recognized by the
Germans, however, and driven
back. Thirty Americans were
killed. German quarters draw
special attention to violation of
interna law in this instance"

Third Fleets Triumph

The smashing naval defeat of the japanese
off French Indo-China may be interpreted as
not only meaning future disaster for the Nip
ponese on Luzon but also ultimate loss of all
the riches of the stolen East Indies.
On the basis of reports available, the Third
fleets triumph is much more than another
naval victory in the Pacific.
Observers agree that this destruction of
Japanese armadas will have a far-reaching
and tremendous effect on the long campaign
that lies ahead before we beat Japan. Primary
purpose of the venture into the South China
Sea was to protect General MacArthur's hold
ings on Luzon. The purpose, for the time be-
ing appears to have been accomplished. The
greater protection given Macarthur, the soon
er he can acquire great land bases on Luzon
and the naval base at Manila Then bombers
and task forces will turn the South China Sea
into a police beat and the Philippines will
again have the tremendous strategic advan-
tages they held before Dec. 7, 1941.
1t. Gen. Robert c. Richardson, command
ing general of U. S. Air Forces in the Pacific
ocean areas sums up the situation neatly with:
with the capture of Luzon the line of COM
munications Of the Japanese through the South
China Sea will be controlled and they will be
unable to exploit the rich resources OF the
Dutch East Indies that have heretofore been
available to them.
''Their defensive line will be thrown back
to Formosa and the Nansei Shoto (Ryukyu)
and Volcano islands"
In addition, closing of this route will lead
to entrapment of the Japanese garrlsons IN the
far-flung island regions south OF Luzon ana
Mndoro. Also it will force Japan's war econ
omy to subsist largely on its admittedly gil
gantic material stockpiles.
Remember, these are long-range possibill-
ties not achieved by one victorious naval
foray into the South China Sea. To change
them into realities, the United States must
secure Luzon, which, we may add, is being
done at a much more rapid rate than first
anticipated.
This sea route is one of three the Nipponese
have of getting material resources out of the
Indies Another is combination ocean and
land rail line, by water from Japan to Cam
| ranh bay, by highway and rail through Thai
land and Malaga to Singapore, thence by sea
to the Indies. The third commercial contact
that can be maintained is the hazardous, Inn
tied and unsatisfactory one OF transport
planes.
The whole picture emphasizes the tremen-
dously important role Of task forces in Pa
cific fighting
Remember those days when the Tokyo Elk
press,' night supplying destroyeTs, were max

making it well nigh impossible for the enemy
to reinforce his garrisons after we strike
them. Not only are they doing this Job ex-
