GERMANY
By Charles V. Stanton
Germany has been defeated ! A fiendish enemy lias been
beaten! We have completed one phase of our global war,
but a formidable task still lies ahead.
We rejoice today, but bur rejoicing- is not without its
tears' and heartbreak; anxiety for the future cannot be
completely hidden by the cloak of victory in Europe.
Germany's defeat has been complete and crushing. Once
we let the Hun' escape the terrors of war. We fought to
his dsorstep, then accepted his surrender, permitting him
at the same time to propagandize us into discounting his
responsibility and releasing him from stringent terms of
idemnity. Thus, because ' his punishment was light, he
promptly turned again to plans for world conquest. His
legions went forth proudly, armed with new and deadly
weapons, trained to barbaric, terrorizing methods. He
executed planned mass murder, scientifically destroying
millions of lives, not alone for military advantage but rather
to assure non-intorfprence with world control following
victory by the soldiers of the
But the legions which rode forth with pomp and cere
mony, confident of their prowess in blitzkrieg warfare, have
been hurled back into a wrecked and desolate homeland.
The murderous horde has been decimated. Pride and
arrogance have been brought
Yet we must not forget that
Dunkirk and Stalingrad wjll
they mark the points where men who fought for freedom
turned the tide toward extermination of the German beast.
Those who have watched developments on the western
front, where the crushing bow of the hammer was swung
against Russia's anvil, have reason to be proud that it was
the American armies that broke the last wall of resistance.

but our ability was unproven. It is not so now. The world
well knows the prowess of G. I. Joe. Eisenhower's sledge
hammer has driven knowledge and understanding into
many thick skulls.
We glory today in our great victory. We mourn for
those who gave their lives tq make it possible. We honor
the dead and those who wear scars of battle. We rejoice
that warfare in Europe has ended the terrible toll of death
and destruction.
The cost has been great indeed. But these are not times
in which to halt to count the
done. Another arrogant, treacherous foe still is before us.
Already he feels the sting of defeat, but, like Germany, he
must be thoroughly and utterly beaten. He must be made

WITH THE 40th INFANTRY
DIVISION IN THE PHILIP
PINES A hundred-yard dash
through enemy lead with a 75
pound hump on their backs is no
novelty to Pfc. Ralph L. Cramp
ton, whose wife, Mrs. rene M.
Crampton, resides at La Grande,
Oregon; and Pfc. Lloyd A. Cole,
son of Mr. Ben H. Cole, Roseburg,
Oregon. -
These two, mortarmen and
heavy weapons experts of the
185th regiment of the 40th infan
try division, have been in almost
constant action since the initial
landing on Luzon, January 9,
1945.
At present they are participat
ing in the closing phase of the
northern Negros campaign. Here
they are directing their fire in
support of . riflemen clearing
caves and enemy strongpoints.
Each man carries an average
of 45 pounds of mortar equip
ment, plus ammunition and a full
field pack. Often thev must dash
across open terrain in full view
of the Japs.
These Yanks supported the
drives on Clark field, Luzon, and
the capital cities of Iloilo, Panay
und Bacolod, Negros.
During the day they face an
unrelenting sun, dirt, dust and a
shortage of bathing water. At
night they sleep in their "fox-hole
hotel," sung to sleep by Jap rifle,
machinegun and mortar fire.
"You don't dare ask a buddy for
a ciguret butt or a drink of wa
ter," these veterans say. "Both
are rated higher than a blonde
in these mountains."
The two men add, "We look
like bums in hard times, only
bums are cleaner."
Officers of the regiment state,
"These mortarmen have earned
the respect and admiration of
their comrades for the magnifi
cent Job they have done in sup
port of attacking troops. Their
fir is so effective it has discourag
ed counter attacks and prevented
escape of fleoing enemy detach
ments." Meet Miss V. E. Day
