Yes, General Hague speaking, he said There followed a stifling silence Geniral Hague sat with the receiver glued to his ear Into the leaden silence of the room came the famt metallic squeak of an excited voice The assembled officers saw their chief stiffen as if an electric current had been driven through his body. General Hague stared dazedly across the room for several moments His hand that hi Id the telephone instrument descended in a slow limp arc to the table The aide took the telephone and removed it to an adjoining desk "Gentlemen," General Hague focused his eyes, looked about among them, waited for control of his voice, then spoke firmly, Gentlemen, by the ill fortune of circumstance, the enimy targeted upon the White House with a heavy bomb The President of the United States is dead. From out in the night came the screeching of sirens. The shrill screeches rose above an indescribable rumble of sound, the frenzied cries, and excited shouts of a terrorized populace The bombers had raced on back into the south. The fretful bark of the guns was stilled. General Hagues Gentlemen, voice broke the stricken tension of the room, we will proceed with our business. The head of the Army resumed his chair and fumbled with trembling fingers among his notes to pick up the shattered thread of his observations. The others sat down to a funereal stolidity. Getting back to the enemy intentions," General Hague resumed, his voice dry and hoarse, we must now consider only his immediate objectives We cannot now deny him possession of the world's largest oil fields lying in that region generally north of Beaumont. At the same time he gains the vast sulphur belt north and east of Galveston. We may reasonably expect, therefore, that Van Hassek will drive on to establish his army on some such line as Fort Worth Dallas Shreveport. Yes, gentlemen, we'll take an awful beating m Texas for the time being. Lack of ammunition for all weapons will be a serious problem. Our lack of guns will counThe losses. us horrible bring try will be in an uproar for days to come until the people get educated to this terrible new reality of their existence. But all of this merely increases our own responsibilities. We must do the insuperable, we must achieve the impossible, we must face this crisis with patience and keep before us the protection of our country against later serious attack which I fear is inevitable. Gentlemen, let us remember this General Hague rose to his feet and the muscles of his jaw hardened He looked about among them again and his voice crackled as he concluded. No matter what force may come against us, no matter what may be our initial reverses, our country has the basic character and the resources in manpower to make us invincible. In the bitter end of whatever storms may lie ahead, the f rces, or coalition of forces, that dare attack the United Slates, will find the mighty vengeance of our massed valor.

Colonel Flogwill asked. None. Wed have picked them up if any more wore coming tonight. But what puzzles us is how these bombers expect to get back into Mexico without refueling Especially since the bombs dropped sounded like heavy ones, probably a thousand pounds or more. Ill want all details as rapidly as you get them, Flagwill instructed By the way, have our planes taken off for Texas yet? . Yes, sir We've notified Our Third Wing will have one attack and two pursuit squadrons at San Antonio before daybreak, all ready for business. Other forces report there as rapidly as possible. The telephone buzzed, a summons for Flagwiil to conference with the Chief of Staff. Flagwill gathered up his notes and turned to Benning Youd better come along, Captain. There may be some questions on Mexico City for you to answer. Briefly, as they marched down the long corridor to the staff chief's conference room, Benning sketched in his owti observations of the bombing of Washington, emphasizing the panic in the streets, the chaos and disorder that followed. The floor under them reeled with the impact of a sudden terrific explosion in the distance. Flagwills expression did not change, there was no hesitation in his gait. Here the birds are back again, he muttered. He shook his head Weve been pounddespairingly. radio all evening the by public ing not to bunch up, but I'm afraid people wnll have to learn by costly experience. God, but I hope no persistent gas is dropped! I doubt if there are a dozen gas masks in all Washington. Another savage detonation filled the night. As its vibrations waned, there came the uninterrupted click of typewriters and telegraph instruments as messages went hurtling across the country from the War Department mobilizing the countrys armed forces. General Hagues conference room was filling with generals and colobut with the nels, all effects of fatigue and strain in their faces after long days without rest. They were promptly in the room where they stood until the head of the Army, now in uniform, came in General Hague was grave and lined, but his shoulders were erect and his gray eyes burned with a level vitality. he proceeded at Gentlemen, once, Eve gone over the situation in detail with the President. F.rst I'll give you a brief summary of available enemy information Three enemy columns are reliably reported at our Texas border and it is a reasonable assumption that they will bridgehead the Rio Grande tonight ready to attack at da j break Likely enough the mam body will strike from Laredo with the objective of San Antonio Two other columns are likely to strike from BrowTiSvuIle and Eagle Pass "You are famil.ar with the borr.b-lrof San Antonio, Galveston, New Orleans, and Houston tonight.
