The rest of the ships sent to the bottom or put out of action were freighters, some of them being used as troop transports. Dep't: The SEP editorialist is one of the few who has remained ex. This excerpt from an editorial is a good reminder for our Cliveden Set: "It Is sink or swim. Japan is not waging war on the President. Hitler is not warring on Dorothy Thompson.

EER WHERE EXERCISES were not prescribed for troops on camexerpaign. The soldier got all the cise he could take care of without any of a prescribed kind. He did not need a lullaby or a crooner to put him to sleep at night. He seldom waited for "taps but was asleep at the earliest opportunity, and awakened only to cuss the bugler for blowing reveille. Washington, Napoleon, Wellington, Bismarck, Grant, Lee, Pershing, Foch and Haig commanded slow armies as compared with the speed of today. In those old days you looked for death only on the ground. You would get behind a shield, but you did not also have to get under one. Today death comes on the ground, from beneath the ground and from file skies. As I watch the caissons go rolling along on rubber tires at 40 miles an hour, I realize the speed of war today and the need of youth to maintain that speed I do not ques- tion the worthiness of our cause. I do question the necessity of war in general; I question the necessity of destruction as a means ot attempting to settle disputes. But at soldier age I saw glory and romance and adventure in the tramp, tramp, tramp of the doughboy, in the clatter of the wheels of the caissons, in the pounding of hoofs of the cavalry horses. The young men of today see the tame things in the roll of the rubber-tire- d wheels of the great guns and trucks in which they ride, in the clank of the tanks and the whirr of the airplane propellers. We can be thankful that when we must fight as in this case we must we have youth that sees these things in the same way their fathers, grandfathers and saw them in days that are gone. The caissons are rolling along to eventual victory because of the valor of our American youth. DEATH , ' . provided. air corps.
