Stancliff hauled himself out in a hurry and they

all wailed in ter ror for fear they were heard by

the Nazis.

Instead, a voice called out in English: i

"Are you Americans?" \

"No, we are Yanks," one of the CI's wise-cracked in reply. ' .

That wasn't IO food either. For the fcMSlt who jcalled out from the American patrol which wel-comed them and brought them to safety was, theylearned to their dismay, a Southerner.

From this pronouncement of the Su-preme Allied Commander, it appears thatthe war cannot be won without tires. Thes.inie observation applies, no doubt, toshoes, clothes, pots and pans, and otheritem.-, generally overlooked as insignificant.

in ihe Pacific, the question of suppliesi.s as vital as it is in Europe. All over theworld we have a "war of supply equallyas much as a war of tactics." It isto the homefront to guarantee that ade-quate supplies reach our fighting men. Ifthe Army in Europe needs tires, then thetires must leave the United States, if neces-sary, to prevent any reduction whatever inthe total offensive power of the Americanarmies.

Who Reads The Bible?TWrteen per cent of. Amerieftn WOBMHV

md six per cent of American men make it•i daily practice to read their Bibles, ac-cording to a nation-wide survey just com-pleted by the American Institute of PublicOpinion. t

The survey revealed what one wouldnaturally suspect, that interest in the Bibleappears to increase with age. Of peopleover fifty years of age, fourteen per centread their Bibles daily.

The Institute i? rather liberal in its defi-nition of a Bible-reader, taking its surveyon the basis of individuals who have takentime out one or more times during the yearto read the Bible. By this test, sixty-twoper cent of the people of this country qual-ify in 1944.

The percentage varies in certa-in sectionsof the United States. South of the Mason-Dixon Line the percentage is seventy-nine;in the West Central area, it is sixty-nine;but in New England and the Middle Atlan-tic region, the percentage is the lowest,

The test gives us figures for those whoread their Bibles daily and then jumps tothe other end of the scale, to those whoread then? one or more times during a year.This is a wide variation, Even with thiscomparatively light requirement, thirty-eight per cent of our people cannot qual-ify, and, it must be presumed, do not readtheir Bibles at all.

We have repeatedly stressed our beliefthat every individual can study the Biblewith profit. We are not among those whobelieve that the Holy Book can be utilizedas a sort of mystic fortune-teller, to givehe answer to every materialistic questionut we are quite satisfied that its reading

will develop the spiritual growth of indi-viduals. .. .

The Bible, according to the Christianbelief, provides the basis for understanding the divine plan for man. It is, in ouiopinion, designed to reveal thd truth of thespiritual world and develop spiritualityamong men. This, in turn, will help mensolve worldly pr&blems.

On the way, the Japanese ship was hitby an American torpedo. Only eighty-twoAmericans escaped and they have givenan account of Japanese brutality.

Captain Pred J. Gallagher, who servedunder General Wainwright in the Philip-pines, described how the men rodj? fornineteen days and eighteen nights, packedshoulder to shoulder in the holds of the".stinking ship" until its sinking,

Lieutenant Harvey Benson, of Grainger,Texas, who served at Corregidor, says thatfive hundred men were "put naked into theforward hold, measuring about fifty bylorty feet." Every time there was an alertthe hatch covers were closed, and one timethe men went thirteen .hours without freshair. Whon t,he ship was finally sunk, "it wasseen that 140 men had perished."

they want.Up to this point there seems to be no dis-

pute. What the military is to do, however,when the temporary regime is challengedby armed rebels, poses another problem.In Greece the British used force to main-tain the regime set-up until an electioncould be held. In Belgium Gen. Eisenhowerapparently followed the same course.

While fully cognizant of repercussionsin this country, including the State Depart-ment's public statement, we cannot believehat any other course is possible, if practi-

cal results are to be secured. Frankly, itescapes our imagination to figure out amethod to decide which of contesting fac-tions, in a foreign country, represents thewill of the people.

Maybe, the-only way to determine thisill-important fact is to have a free elec-tion. Just how this is to be accomplished,f armed men seek to overthrow the1 gov-

ernment in power and refuse to cooperatein the balloting somebody else will have toannounce.

OUR DEMOCRACY by Mat

Japan To Execute Airmen?The Japanese government has formally

notified the United States and Great Brit-ain that it will "hold responsible" capturedairmen who are "clearly found to have de-liberately broken established practices ofwarfare."

This is diplomatic language to intimatethat Japan does not approve the bombingof Japanese cities and that American airmen, captured after aueh raids, will probably be executed because of the death ofciviliun.s.

It will be remembered that some of ourfliers were" executed after the first aerialattack on Tokyo in April, 1942! WithTokyo and industrial Japan suffering moreserious damage than everi under the sys-tematic bombing of Superfortresses, itseems, probable that ihe Japanese will ^carry out their threat and execute Ameri- ^can aviators when captured.

If this proves to be the, policy, of theJapanese government, it will not be ade-quately met by warning the Japanese lead-ers that this country will hold them re-sponsible for such executions. Once, it isdefinitely determined that our fliers arebeing executed in Japan, it will be properfor this country to consider reprisals, but,in doing so,W.e must bear in mind the thou-sands of Americans now held captive byJ a p a n , ' ' / • • . •

RELIEF:—Improved technique'snnd new inventions developed infactories under the stress of warnoods, in order U, secure greatoi'production with fewer workers,may pose a considerable threat t,ipcace-tipie employment, says Com-missioner Charles K.

some pain. This was a messagethnt a business firm across thestreet had sent mo a twenty-fivepound turkey as « present and

the devil was Miss Duffy, thefaithful, to get it to me? She per-sisted and eventually located mywife and handed over the bird.

The turkey was immense andabout 7 o'clock that night,Thanksgiving Eve, after we hadstuffed the animal with everythingin sight, we had the happythought.

"It's too big, Dad," said oneman. "Let's Invite some-

one."Then we started. Mrs,. Powell

snorted at the invitation to shareour turkey and fixings. "Wliat.thehell do you think I've been doingall day myself? Two pies andstuffed a turkey and all that.We're going to have Thanksgivingdinner AT HOME! Goodbye!"

The others pretended to bethankful. The Nevinses were go-ing out some place else, but itwas nice, awful nice, of us to thinkof them, even at the last moment.The Ryans were having hermother and her brother down, butit was nice of us, anyway, TheO'Neils were going to their littleplate in Vermont first thing" inthe morning. ". . . Otherwise we'dluve to come."

By now we knew that everyonehad,their Thanksgiving plans defi-nitely made, but we kept on. Whodo we1 know?! Oh, yes, the Gray-sons'. Haven't seen them since1941, ju*t after the war started."Ob, that's a shabe. . ; . . We sowanted to aee you. . . •, Well, we'H

in. . , ." (io ahead, givethe Ciimgans a ring. It's been >mntri>. I Ihjiuifhi. I snw him, Ihefrightful bore, on the train theother niflfht. (in abend. "Oh, dene,thnt's ton bad. We just thought. . . nt thr Imt minute , . ."

The ('hasps were out for theevening, but we made thr> sitter-inner repeat over and over thecorrect spelling of our mime andtlio reason we culler!. The Thomp-sons were having her father andmother down from Hoston but it.was downright jolly of us to call.

The boys forjrot. all about thernflio programs and they enteredthe frajne. Mark asked if wewouldn't invite Mr. and Mn\.'Nicknl, whose little girl, Milrgot,sat next to him in school. We'diK'veii met them but we called.

I hnzedly reuu'nihcred, Mr.Nickol us theloud-voiced commuter, who utleast three times a week asked meto move to the sunny side so thatho and his friends (t>uld get fourseats . for their infernal bridge(tame. "We'd have loved to come,but . . ."

The four of us had our shareof turkey the next day at lunch-time, and then, stuffed, we satlown to wait.

The Thompsons were first. Theycalled Saturday morning anil thatnight we left the boy.s and had afine dinner over there. The motherand father were still there andthere was a slight in-lawuh chillin the air, but the food was excel-lent, and so was the whiskey.Strangely enough, the Nickol.-;called early next morning andtheir pre-lunch cocktail part^ ranright over until supper and thnthelped us out of two meals, withthe boys home hacking awuy atthe turkey,1

On Christmas Eve we had awonderful supper, for the childrentoo, at the Nevinses, and the egg-nogs at the Ryans next dajr werereally something.

The 0'N'e.ils remembered, too,and have invited us up to theirlittle place in Vermont over this(New Year's) weekend. The boysare happy about it, for they'relooking forward t*> the skiing andthe. belly - whopping. Mr, O'Neilhinted something about applejackand steaks from the freezer.

The Graysons and the Carrigansgave a party together just lastweek. 1 don't remember muchabout it, but the little orchestrawas noisy and 1 don't see anythingso terribly wrong in giving drinksto the piano player and then giv-ing him ten dollars to have himplay an extra two hours, It wasa Saturday night and no one ha>lto get up to gu to work. I stilldon't think it was such a horriblething to do. Xice fellows, Graysonand Carrigan, And how that kidcould tinkle those keys.

Funny thing, wt've never yetheard from the Chases. And I'msure that the sitter-inner got thename right. Funny about theChases,
