THE THREAT TO JAPAN

While North Atlantic Pact powers struggle 10 build

is quietly building Up it's strength in the Far East The
japanese estimate that ground strength the Russian
armies in the Fer East is at least forty divisions
pared to United States and Allied power the area the
Russian strength is overwhelming.
Japan is considered free from invasion because
of its distance from Soviet territory Only or three
miles of separate the norhernmos point of Japan
from Sovetheld territory Moreover Of Jap
could seriously threaten the United States right flank
in Korea if force the United States evacuae Korea
altogether.
The Russian budur in the Far East is not sufficient

Europe which is still the main goal of Soviet Imperialism
But it is clear indication of how enemy strength and
United States unpreparedness combine allow the Rus
slams to build IN in several at while the Unit
ed States remains fully committed by its efforts in Korea
and Western Europe.
When the United States preparedness reaches the
stage where this country meet these enemy budups
with strength then the temptations invasion will be less

ONE hun d R Ed
YEARS
NOBLE c ouNrY

Since this is the week when
most of us will be turning our
attention to Armistice Day, it is
appropriate that we here pause
to give consideration to many
men of Noble county who have
served by giving their unselfish
services to the cause of Demo-
cracy. While it will not be pos
sible at this time to list all men
who have laid themselves at the
base of the altar of freedom, we
shall attempt to mention some
of them here.
Of particular interest, not only
to Noble county, but to all
citizens of our great country, and
liberty-loving people throughout
the entire world is the story of
the last survivor of the American
Revolutionary War. This man
was John Gray, who was born
January 6, 1854, near Mount
Vernon, Va. His parents were
poor and he was brought up to
life of toll and hardship. The
first day that he ever worked
away from home he was employ
ed by George Washington at
Mount Vernon. He seems to have
been a favorite of the Father of
his Country, who frequently
shook hands with him and gave
him many words of encourage
ment. When, in 1777, John Gray's
father joined the patriot army,
John became the chief support
of the family. At one time he
worked a week at blowing corn
for two and a half bushels of
corn. His father fell at the
battle of White Plains in New
York, and when John was 18, in
the year 1871, he volunteered
and served until the close of the
Revolution, being present at the
surrender of CORVALLIS at
Yorktown, October 10, 1881,
when the British General offered
his sword to Washington, and
the Redcoats marched to the
tune of Yankee Doodle" played
by an American fife and drum
corps. In the year 1929 John Gray
moved to Noble county where
he spent the remainder of his
days. In Brookfield township,
Noble county, lie still the re-
mains of the last known survivor
of the Revolutionary War, some
200 yards from the house in
which he died. Although the
house has been remodeled and
modernized, it is at this time the
residence of Wayne Stire. On
the headstone is the following
epitaph: John Gray - Died
March 90, 1868,-aged 104 years,
