Brother of Salem Man Reveals
His Ideas of War From Post
In Malta on British Ship
A letter,'. four, months in transit on a British submarine
vbich pulled into New London, Conn., for repairs early this
month, reached this week Harold Tanner of Salem from his
brother, lieutenant-commander in the British navy, stationed at
Malta since the outset of the war,
Harold Tanner, who served in
,during World War I, is permit
ting The. Statesman , to reprint
& .. 41 1 '
Tanner's family numbers 12
brothers and sisters, scattered
; all over the world. A brother
..In. Chile, a sister en South Af
rica, brothers and sisters in
England, and another, sister,
from whom none of the family
lias heard a word since the Ger
. mans took Paris,' presumably
still In Paris. 2
r Tanner saw his brother, the
letter's . author, four years ago
. -when the brother's ship docked
at San Diego. He had not prev
. iouslv xpfn him for 15 vears. Tan.
4er is now a citizen of the United

but the air war was in its infancy;
and iust as I can hardly visual
ize the muck and blood and sweat
.of trench warfare, so you can
hardly realize what a modern air
jraid is like. Six bombers have
just been . over, and I broke off
this letter to watch a doc-fight.
Someone was shot down, but I

""These mines, now, 1500 lbs. of
Jugh explosive that come floating

seas they're the devil to destroy.
One can at least hear bombs

seek shelter, esneciallv when a
mining raid is on.

his 'blitzkrieg' wherein he wants
it all to be over in a flash of

We- could never have got at
Germany through the Balkans,
.but we killed a lovely lot of them.
The Hun is getting well spread

persed he is the better for us, as
I see it That's were Malta comes
in. He's spending a tidy effort on
us with small results, so far; even

If he does take the place hell
only gain the tremendous pres
tige yalue, he couldn't use i
much.
"The hardest part I find is the
infrequent news from home
When we do gel it is marvellous
to know that however bad things
are the people are getting more
and more determined to stick it
out in spite of the Hun's worst
efforts. I have to thank you and
Reg (another brother) for your
offers to take the children. That
was a grand gesture which I did
appreciate. As it is I'm in two
minds now. I should have felt
happy to know that Isabel and
the family were away from it all.
On the other hand I am tre
mendously proud that they are
staying put and taking whatever
is corning with the rest of the
country. I should, somehow, have
felt a little ashamed after the war
to know that they had all gone
away, and I know something of
that sort decided a large number
of people against leaving the
country,
"I've been thinking how odd
that in the last war you and Ed
gar (a brother) were In . and
now, in the second war, those two
members of the same family
would still be beyond the 'calling
up' stage in this one, while it's
their younger brother's turn! Do
you feel an old patriarch on that
account? (Just been out to watch
the dog-tight again!)
intn. a . .
wnai an age u seems since
Isabel and I came and stayed!
I shall never, in all my life, for
get you having to introduce me
to Reg! A ludicrous situation, as
between brothers.
I'm' not certain I shan't trans
plant myself when this business
is over," like you did after the
last one. England is going to be
in a shocking mess for years, and
I don't know that I shall be able
to help much in the reconstruc
tion. Isabel and I are fired with
the idea of living on our own
little patch of land. We ought to
be able to go a long war, judging
by what she and her mother have
achieved in less than three years.
I'm mad about the idea. -
"Our material wants are few.
the war is teaching us all what
a lot of unnecessary luxury we
had, and money will be tighter
than before. I don't want to make
money, at least not more than is
necessary for rates and taxes and
for essentials we cant produce.1
I've got a bit of a bee in my
bonnet on the subject!
"The "raiders passed' siren is
just sounding, so I expect we
shall be all clear until about 9
o'clock when the night raid starts.
The night before last we were in
the beautiful rock shelter for over
six hours! That is our tremendous
advantage here. Softish limestone
rock. Give the inhabitants a pick
and shovel and they'll have their
whole family under anything up
to 60 feet of solid bastion in no
time at all.
"The old Grand Masters knew
their job when they built these
marvelous fortifications, but they
would never have dreamt how
extremely useful they were going
to be! My particular establishment
is not so good, however. It's the
old fever isolation building dating
from 1665 and rather weathered.
Touching wood, we've not had
a direct hit yet but the mines,
both in the air and in the water
rock the place so much that the
old . walls are beginning to show
the strain. One comes up from
the shelter to go to bed and finds
it full of plaster most uncomfort
able! "You must forgive the scruffly
paper, but being besieged makes
us extremely economical, and I'm
used to writing both sides when
writing my rare letters to Isabel.
If you get this it will be a long
shot as I said before, and there
is no earthly point in you attempt
ing to answer it I should never
get the reply. If you write to Dora

letter from me. She will tell Isa-

Am important cog I that giant niacluae, tao United States
Amy in tio field, is tfco Private First Class, (note singlo stripe on

ho carries npon him back. Ho calls it a "walkiUllde," and his
job is to take it wherever hit commanding officer may need it to
giro or reccJro orders in the field. BecatMe ho has been trained in
the Army to bo a specialist, ho receives additional pay. The Regular
Army wants more soldiers to fill extra-pay jobs such as his.
Service Men
Whera They Ara
What They're Doing
"Take a look around you when
the boys come home on leave and
see how many of them have
stripes on their sleeves if you want
proof that there's opportunity in
the army." Tech. Set Willis S. Es-
tep, Postoffice building, Salem,
Oregon, whose job has a great
deal to do with proving there is
opportunity in the US army, sug
gested today.
He exhibited a picture of a
"walkie-talkie' operator with
stripe looming large upon his
sleeve, showing that he receives
extra-pay because of his Impor
tance to the operation of field
communication systems. (See pic
ture above.)
"One stripe, two stripes, three
stripes there's a lot of good
khaki covered op by them and
they all mean extra pay," Sgt
Estep said, visibly warming to
his snbject
"Some 'old soldiers' say thev
get dizzy spells from seeing stripes
in front of their eyes, but they
know that the "new army' has a
ot of special jobs to be done that
take special abilities and deserve
extra pay.
"Now the army has to have all
kinds of specialists linemen,
drivers, mechanics, weMers; tele
phone and radio operators, riceers.
machinists, clerks, artists, armor
ers and all the rest I can't even
name them all myself.- " '
"I sometimes wonder where
they all come from, but, of course, J
the army trains them. It has to.
After all It can't depend on getting
all these special-job men straight
from civilian life, so it takes them
in hand and teaches them the jobs.
Then it puts them to work and
the first thing you know bang!
there they are with decorated
sleeves and a pile of extra money
on the blanket every month. :
"That's the way It goes, partic
ularly in the regular army right
now. The regular army needs
all the specialists tt can get so
It pays for them."
Of course Sgt Estep didn't do
all this talking just to make con
versation, he pointed out adding
hopefully:
?And because the army needs
them, I'm supposed to get them.
Just let our boys here know about
the opportunities and maybe they.
H drop In to see me. If they have
any questions, fine, that's what
I'm here for. I don't know all the
answers, but I'm a sort of a spe
cialist myself, and I can give some
good advice to any. young man
who wants to become an army
specialist too." -
