them over many weeks from now. While it is doubted by our
military. heads in the European theatre that any great. secment of the German people will enter as ordered, into guerrilla warfare against the allies, some fanatics are expected to
carry on the fight from an organized underground already
functioning, until they are either killed or captured:
The danger of assuming here that complete German resistance has awaited only the signal to surrender, and would
end on the spot when it came, has worried our military considerably. Nothing they felt, short of allied withdrawal from
German soil, would have been quite so valuable to the nazis
at the height of the Rhine crossing, as an allied frenzy of premature peace celebration and a sudden slackening, of war production just when our attenuated supply lines neéded strengthening most.
While sany member of the allied occupation forces still
face sniper’s bullets, the war will not be over in Germany.
When that danger is past, when the underground lairs are
smoked’6ut and our boys head for home again; the Etropean
end of the war will be finished in reality, and victory truly will
be ours.—Contributed.
HEARTBREAK IN THE NEWS
The choking realization that General Ira C. Eaker’s entire air command of 20,570 men in the Mediterranean theatre
has been completely wiped out in a year’s operation, came as
curiously secondary news from Rome, in a dispatch briefer
than the nazi mouthing for the day, or latest news of the machinists’ strike at San Francisco.
Most of the people who heard the dispatch over the air
failed to recognize its tremendous and tragic import, for it
came in the same breath an@ in the same lusty, confident tones
as general news of the war is wont to come.
Playing up the good news and playing down the bad was
a necessary censorship requirement in earlier days of the war.
Today we see little sense in discounting losses so that few but
those who have lost loved ones in the bitter engagements feel
the poignant strain of the sacrifice. The sacrifice should be
felt by every American on home soil, and felt keenly enough
so thae the war's progress toward victory is the greatest concern of everyone. .
In letters from the battle fronts, _infantrymen, flyers,
tankmen and engineers, veterans of bloody combat duty who
“*have seen injured Yanks, dead Yanks and cemeteries covered with white markers,’ wonder at the apathy of many here.
They wonder how news of “13,000 striking. infantrymen—matching the number of Dodge plant strikers—in Germany or
Luzon, would affect the folks at home. Their honest bitterness
over the machinists boilermakers jurisdictional battle, tying up
badly needed army ships at San Francisco, bodes no good for
post war labor relations.
The 100 per cent loss of Eaker’s 15th Air Force in its
long, desperate fight, and all other similar heart breaking reports, from the war fronts, constitute news that should not be
spared the general public. It is vital news, we believe, with
which the government's war information bureaus might well
jar the nation out of any lethargic unconcern toward conditions, that needlessly slow the day of final peace.—Contributed.
THE MAIL BOX THIEF
The man who steals servicemen’s allotment or allowance
checks is no Robin Hood. He steals from those who fight for
his very life at the risk of their own. You wouldn't suppose
there would be many people of. such low character. But the
rising loss of army and navy checks to families of soldiers and
sailors has impelled tne U. S. Secret Service to launch a special
campaign to warn servicemen’s families of the organized
thievery.
The mail box robbers spot houses displaying. serviie
flags in their windows, watch for the mail deliveries and collect any letters arriving from the treasury department almost
as soon as the postman leaves them. Households receiving
checks are urged to make it a point to ge to the mail box first,
Incidentally, a strong lock will discoorage thievery, the secret
service points out. :
A measure of responsibility rests with all firms where
treasury checks are cahsed, and stores are requested to know
all endorsers.
If the aggregate amount of servicemen’s pay stolen regularly from private boxes is of sufficient magnitude to move the
secret service to action, a real pinch must be ‘felt by the individual families suffering the losses. <
Thefts of this nature are reprehensbile, owener: baiend
any amounts involved. The crime is heinous against men offering their lives on our country’s battle fields, and every citizen should do what he can to help apprehend the criminals. —

ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE

NUISANCE LFGISLATION
Among the quarter ofa million lodge members distributed in every community in the state, many are eyeing with. concern a series of bills-at Sacramento which would * “subject fraternal benefit societies to nuisance*regulations and controls
and raise membership dues appreciably’’"—according to L. E.
Probst of the California State Fraternal Congress, in an analysis of the bills.
Unless valid reason exists for such legislation—and none
co far has been declared by the Insurance Commission under
which such societies operate—the lodges are not proper subjects, we believe for legislative experiments of any nature.
Not organized for profit many farternal benefit societies have
carried on virtually the only charitable work done in many
communities. And their splendid work has not lagged in the
war period.
Such ‘contributions as lodges have made to the public
welfare cannot be measued alone in tax-savings to the public.
Many among us walk today because a lodge saw that they
received sanitarium care for tuberculosis. which otherwise
would have ruined their lives. Many parentless children find
their place in the world through the auspices of lodge sponsorored orphanages, and many elderly folk have found friendly
sanctuary in the homes provided by benevolent groups. Hundreds of Boy and Girl Scouts troops are financed by lodges,
while many Red Cross chapters receive their entire. support
by them.
Civic work of all types, community betterment and educational foundations grow under such sponsorship and the taxsaving is the least of the humanitarian program. Yet, declares Probst in a public message to fraternal benefit‘ groups
throughout the state, ‘‘the pending bills, AB 426, 489, 7945-6, constitute an attempt, simply, to legislate us out of action.”’ If that is the case we repeat the recommendation of the
California Fraternal Congress that lodge members study the
provisions of those bills and let'their own legislators know the
position in the matter.—Contributed.
