How long will the war with
Japan last?
Everybody has an answer to
this question but our best advice
is not to base
your bond
buying on
whether you
think it will
take weeks or
years to win
in the Pacific.
The best war
conduct is always to be on
an all-out war
: effort basis.
General Douglas C. MacArthur
gave you the tipoff on what to
expect before your relatives and
friends take-over 3 wrecked
Tokyo. In the Philippine campaign only 185° Japanese surrendered in a slaughter. which cost
them 308,180-men.
Buy bonds in the 7th War Loan
with a spirit of an American in
combat. Give it to the Japs full
force and with all your weapons.
That’s the way to do your part
in the vital, mighty 7th War
Loan. Now—all together.

CHAPTER XI
On the sixth morning, the Sergeant made him repent for the sin
of offering to be a spy for the
Americans if Sergeant Borth would
just stop making him repent.
On the seventh morning, the Sergeant made him repent for having
forced his will on two young girls of
the town.
And so, day' after day, the repentances went. And every day the
crowd outside Sergeant Borth’s office in the Fascio grew, and the
laughter got louder and louder.
One morning Tomasino the fisherman called on Major Joppolo at
the Palazzo. As he entered the
building, and even as he‘walked into
the Major’s office, he looked like an
American sight-seer. His neck bent
back on itself and his eyes wandered
around in dull amazement.
Major Joppolo was pleased to see
him and said cheerfully: ‘‘Good
morning, Tomasino.’’ :
But Tomasino’s face changed
from curious to sullen, and he said:
“T did not) want.‘to do it.”
“Do what, Tomasino?’’
“Come to the place of authority,
this Palazzo. I have never done it
in my life. My wife made me do
it
‘Why? What did she want?’’
“She said that if you had lowered yourself to cOme and see me
on my fish-boat, I could lower my4 self to go and see you in the Palazzo. She wanted me to invite you to
come to our house tonight to help
eat some torrone which my daughter Tina: made. My wife is a difficult woman. I hate her. She thinks
she is the authority in my house.”’
Major Joppolo said: ‘‘Please be
so good as to tell your wife that
even though her husband was _ so
reluctant in the delivery of her message, the Major would be delighted
to accept.’’
Tomasino said: “I am of half a
mind not to tell her. I hate her.’
Major Joppolo — said: “What . .
time?”’
Tomasino said grimly: ‘‘You are
a man of authority. . You ‘decide
what time.”’ :
Then Major Joppolo suddenly remembered two sentences from the
Notes from Joppolo to Joppolo in
his" Amgot notebook. —He remembered: ‘‘Don’t. play favorites. .
Be careful about accepting invitations. . .”’ It would be best if he
were not seen going to the house of
Tomasino. People like the interpreter Giuseppe. might misunderstand
his motives.
idea to go after dark. The Major
made some quick calculations: let’s
see, the sun goes down about eight
fifteen, it gets dark.. .
‘‘How would nine o’clock be, Tomasino?”’ :
Tomasino said sadly: ‘‘Hight,
nine, ten—what difference?”’
'“PU be there at nine. What is
. the address?’’ ee
“Tt is a horrible house. Nine Via
Vittorio Emanuele.”’
Promptly at nine o’clock Major
Joppolo knocked on the door at 9
Via Vittorio Emanuele. Tomasino
opened the door, but did not show
the slightest pleasure at having a
. visitor.
“Come in,”’ he grurhbled.
The Major stepped in and tried
to shake his hand but could not find
it in the dark.
“We have to climb many stairs,”
Tomasino complained.
As a matter of fact, there was
only one flight. At the top of it
they turned into a brightly lighted
hallway. Tomasino led the Major
through the hallway to a narrow
parlor. This parlor belied the unsociability of Tomasino, for its furniture consisted almost exclusively of
chairs—a sure sign, in Adano, of
frequent and numerous guests. BesideS the chairs there were only a
large Italian radio in one corner
and a round table in the center. The
room was so narrow that from the
chairs on either side one could reach
whatever was on the table.
Two guests had arrived before
the Major, and their identity—surprised him.
“Hi, Major,” said Captain Purvis, who looked as if he had been
into a couple of bottles of wine,
“Giuseppe told me the old fishhound here had a couple of pretty
daughters. I was getting kinda lonesome. Giuseppe here told. me he’d
bring me up. Good old Giuseppe.”
“Good night, a boss,” said Giuseppe. He was much embarrassed;
he had had no idea that the Major
would show up.
The Major was just as embarrassed as Giuseppe. He was thinking of those sentences from the Amgot notebook: ‘‘Don’t play favorites,
a Be careful about invitations. *
‘Why, hello,” the Major said.
‘‘Haven’t seen the quail yet,”’ Cap-.
tain Purvis said. ‘‘The old lady’s out
in the kitchen. She’s a honey.”
The Major sat down stiffly.
Captain Purvis said: “Say, I
didn’t know you were an old hand
around here, you dog. Why don’t
you tell me about these good things?
You old bum, I thought you never
did anything but work. .Tel] me,
how are these chickens?’’
Major Joppolo said weakly: “I
haven’t seen the girls, except one of
them in church. This is my first
time here.”’
Captain Purvis, who was unquestionably tipsy, said: ‘‘Hey, speaking of chickens, I heard one the other day. You remember where Hoover said once that he was going to
fix it so there would be a chicken
in every pot? Well, I heard the other day that after the U.S. Army was
around these Italian towns for a
while there was going to be a chicken on every lap.”’
