PRELUDE TO INVASION
Nights of terror and days of death and devastation have
=
come to almost every city and province in Germanv as around
the clock bombings by British and American air forces blast .
Berlin has whole .
giant .
a roaring prelude to impending invasion.
blocks of demolished and gutted buildings now . and
craters in its streets where tons of bombs have taken fearful .
retribution for the long, endless days and nights when London was bitized and pounded by the Nazi Luftwaffe. Reports
coming from Germany tell of almost unbelievable destruction
and chaos in its great industrial cities, with highways crowded
by hundreds of thousands of homeless, citizens of the Reich
being evacuated to other areas. And from London and Washington come bold intimations that invasion of the continent is
imminent.
“ When and where the invasion forces will strike, Germany
will not know until the fight to the death has begun—but all
the Reich knows now that an avenging army is waiting to
_ spring, determined to liberate the conquered countries and to
carry the war against Hitlerism to German soil. There must
‘be those in Germany now who tremble in terror when they recall their atrocities in France and Poland and Greece and Nor-way and Holland and all the defenseless little nations that were
looted and despoiled.
i There must be terror and bitter frustration,’ too, in the
hidden, guarded places where Hitler and his staff of uniform-.
ed bandits seek frantically to gauge where the blow will fall.
and how to prepare a defense to withstand it. For this is the
general staff that had sneered at the ‘decadent nations’ and
had planned to enslave the world. And now their own weapons
of total warfare have been turned againct them.. Now they
have the first clear reminder that those who live by the sword
must expect to die by the sword. It may take months: it may
even take until 1944 before they are beaten, but the bombers
overhead by night and by day are a constant reminder that
their offensive strength has beeh broken and that the end is
nearing. Every night they must listen to the gathering creser
do of the prelude to invasion.
_”. PLANES, PILOTS—AND PROVIDENCE
General MacArthur, in reporting the magnificent
triumph of Allied planes under his command over a powerful
Jap sea armada off the coast of New Guinea. which resulted in
the sinking of all 22 Japanese battleships and transports. and
the destruction of 82 enemy planes that soucht vainly to’ protect the convoy. declared: “A merciful providence must have
guarded us in this great victory!’
That was not just a mere figure of speech with General
. MacArthur; there is good reason to believe that it was spoker
reverently and humbly. Men like MacArthur. entrusted with
the safe keeping of their fellow men—and weighed down by
the realization that the lives of millions are dependent on their
success or failure—need faith as well as military wisdom. And
usually they have it, but mixed with it, too, a very vital understanding of the truism that “God helps those who help themselves.” It has been expressed in many ways throughout the
centuries. Oliver Cromwell, 300 years ago, exclaimed; ‘“Trust
in God, but keep your powder dry.’’ We have modernized it
now and put it to song in the refrain: ‘Praise the Lord and
pass the ammunition.”
MacArthur, after reporting in his communique that “a
merciful providence must. have guarded us,’ commented further: “Our air losses were so small because. of the planes and
the pilots and the breaks—plus thorough preparation.” Planes, pilots, preparation—and providence. That is the MacArthur formula of victory. The instruments of war have changed, but two of the ingredients in that formula—preparation
and providence—helped Washington through the dark days
of the Revolution and Lincoln in the days when the nation
was torn by Civil War. And in every war there must be men,
whether they be pilots or foot soldiers, with the courage and
stamina to suffer and die if need be for the things that free
men believe in. That is the formula for victory.
RICKENBACKER NEEDS NO DEFENSE
f
Public indignation has boiled over throughout the United
States against the slanderous statement of one David'G. Levitt, a union organizer, who declared before a meeting of aircraft workers in Los Angeles that “Captain Rickenbacker was
the No. . hero of World War 1 and is the No. 2 rat of the present war,” adding: “‘It is too bad they saved him.”
Eddie Rickenbacker, who has risked his life repeatedly
and gallantly for this country in two wars, and who has only
yecently endured the ordeal of being adrift at sea for twentyone days while on a war mission in the Pacific, needs no defense against the hot-tempered slander of an unknown labor
firebrand. Rickenbacker’s life and deeds are all the answer required, but it is to be hoped that intelligent labor leaders—af.
ter noting the storm of public indignation which this remark
occasioned—will call a halt to the campaign to smear Rickenbacker which has recently been current in labor ‘circles.
‘It isn't Eddie Rickenbacker who is giving labor a bad
name. It is men like Levitt ‘in labor's own ranks who have made
it necessary for Rickenbacker and scores of others to remind . .
them that they owe an’ obligation to American boys on far
: battle ields. It is the labor racketeers who are damaging labor's }
=~ Ag far as Levitt is concerned, Rickenbacker took care of
him with the apt rejoiner: “It has. been my experience that a
pig never squeals unless you stick him.” : ae j
THROUGH. THE JUNGLE
Woodpecker Hammers
at Galvanized Chimney
H. P. Davis and neighbors heard
and saw an unusual sight Wednesday
morning on the old Celio home where
he resides. There are three tall galvanized iron chimneys on the house,
‘and, believe it or not, a wood pecker
was pecking away .and = chirruping
loudly on the top of one of the chimneys. Spectators suggested he was
calling for more heat to warm his
feet, or signaling the enemy in code.
Others thought the bird was protesting against the new rationing orders.

CHICAGO, I11.—One of the biggest
factors in the unusual record established by the United States in protecting the health of the armed forces is the fact that American camps,
barracks and naval training stations
are the finest equipped from .the
standpoint of plumbing of any camps
in any war in ‘history of the world.
There is one shower bath for every
12 men; one lavatory and water closet for every 8 men and laundry tray
in every barracks according to the
Plumbing and Heating Industries
Bureau. While the pIrmbing in army
camps in’ this war sets an tinusually
high standard, the basic purpose. is
not to provide luxury for the men
but to protect their health, morale
and efficiency. In every war on which
there are records, from the days of
Sennacherib onward, the number of
deaths from disease has _ exceeded
many times the losses from killed or
wounded in combat. In World War
I, for instance, records show ‘‘admissions from disease were 14.6 times as
numerous as those for wounds, even
in France.”’
In Calitornia’s 1942 hunting season, 1233 women hunters killed 1377
than was made by men.
