FOUR STARS FOR CLARK The name of the seventh full general of the war will soon be sent to the senate for confirmation Lieut. Gen. Mark Clark, commander of Allied forces in Italy. Clark has been considered the hard-lucgeneral through no fault of his own. The public doesnt realize it, but Clark has trained division after division in Italy, only to have them transferred to other more pressing war theaters. Many of his former troops bore the brunt of the landing in Normandy. He also trained most of the men who landed along the French coast near Cannes and Marseilles. It is no longer a military secret that Clark and his U. S. troops are now bearing the brunt of the Italian war. The British have largely pulled out of Italy for the Balkans. Clark has a few Poles, Brazilians and some Indian troops, but the main fighting is being done by Americans. The full generals now on active duty in the U. S. army are Generals Marshall, Eisenhower, MacArthur, Stilwell, Arnold and Malin Craig. The latter, having been retired after serving as chief of staff, was recalled to active duty in the war department, where he heads a personnel board. In addition, two other full generals are on the retired list, John J. Pershing and Peyton C. March, the latter chief of staff in the last war both, incidentally, bitter personal enemies. With Clark, this will make a total of seven full generals on active duty, plus two retired full generals. It Is interesting to note that, prior to 1930, there had been only six other full generals in all the history of the United States. George Washington, for instance, never became a full general, even though congress made it possible for him to do so. Other full generals have been Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman, Philip H. Sheridan, all of the Civil war armies, plus World war leaders Tasker H. Bliss, Charles P. Summerall and John L. Hines. NOTE Considerable debate has been going on in top military circles over what assignment Gen. "Vinegar Joe Stilwell should get when he finishes his California vacation. It was planned to put Stilwell in command of a specially trained army to land on the China coast. However, some propose keeping him In the war department to replace Lieut. Gen. Ben Lear as commander of ground forces. k Nazi-shackl- ed On June 17 Iceland became a modem republic. On that day the Althing an legislative body sometimes called the Grandmother of Parliaments elected the nations former regent, Sveinn Bjornsson, president. In a national election held in May the people had voted to dissolve their union with Denmark. First settled in 874 and organized as a republic 56 years later, Iceland was independent until 1263 when it oined with Norway. Both Iceland and Norway came under Danish rule in 1381. Norway was separated from Denmark by cession to Sweden in 1814, and the two countries formed a union which lasted until 1905 when the union was ended by mutual agreement. Icelanders had long agitated for independence, but it was not realized until 1918. Iceland was then recognized as a separate kingdom with unlimited sovereignty. Germany tried in prewar years to get control of this strategic North Atlantic island by establishing commercial routes. British forces were stationed on the island shortly after the beginning of World War II. They were replaced in 1941 by American units. ySt -. -- w'v ! iv.

The rubber used In gas masks Is now 100 per cent synthetic. Never use a tube in a tire larger, or smaller, than that for which it was designed by the manufacturer. Premature failure will result if you do.
