Spirit of Attack ' By and large, Americans have been quite reasonable about this second front business. : They have recognized the difficulties without being able to gauge them. Only the radicals, out of their excessive concern for .Russia's well- being, Have been obnoxious in their insistence upon invasion, right now and no matter what. Then, somewhat after the fashion of an un seen political shift coming to light in the early returns, on election night, the truth came out.. For several hours on Wednesday it seemed pos sible, from some viewpoints even probable, that a second front was being opened; that invasion of the continent actually had begun. Then it showed. Everyone you met was discussing it, weighing the probabilities, trying to pierce the veil of uncertainty. And there was a tenseness denoting more than the excitement of great an ticipation; it clearly revealed that you and your neighbor, while outwardly rationalizing the matter all this while, had passionately desired the launching of a showdown attack; an end to the two-year English channel stalemate. But even as the huge commando raid brought to light this unity of combative spirit, it simul taneously satisfied it, in part; and the Regret of satisfaction deepened with the further un folding of the event and what it signified. Heretofore we have guessed about the second i front; now we know. Not how, or when, or pre cisely where but now we know beyond doubt or question that the United Nations are not merely toying with the second, front idea, nor are they bluffing. ' There is going to be a second front. British, American, Canadian troops and volunteer na tionals of the captive lands some day the day, soon or late, when preparation is complete are ' going to swarm across the channel or the nar portion of the North Sea into France or the Low Countries, and they'll carry no round-trip tickets. This is something which even the allied com manders in Great Britain possibly didn't know until Thursday when commando leaders came back and reported; but now they know it and, though they haven't talked, so do we. This raid proved invasion was possible. It proved more Over that not Norway nor the" south of France is the place to invade, but straight across to the mainland; to beaches where fighter planes based In England may most readily supply the over head protection the invasion force will require. For it proved that aerial supremacy can be gained there, and that with aerial supremacy, beachheads can be established. - If we as well as the military chiefs in Britain 'know all this, so does Britain- and that means1 ! tjauch of the benefit from a 'second front al ready is achieved. The raid proved that for all , 1 the nazis' boasts, the French coast is insecurely ' keld. Defenses there particularly in manpower and air power will have to be strengthened. Men and planes will have to be diverted from the Russian front, and that is precisely-the pur pose of a second front. All this, one gigantic but brief raid accom plished. - The cost was heavy; the cost of a second front will be heavier. - A second front is a western front does that give you a notion? But never mind that; the commandos knew the cost and knew they were the ones to pay it. They went ahead regardless. Regardless that's J good word to use from now on. That's the 'spirit of attack, the spirit that just recently burst Jinto flame on the other side of the world, in the 'Solomons, and is going to dominate United Na tions strategy from now on. Watch it spread. Anyway, We'll Eat From Spain, because that recent war-ravaged land is nominally neutral, come most of the elo quent photos of children undernourished to the point of starvation. But one knows that simi larly pitiful conditions. prevail in many coun tries engulfed in the present war; and the com passion the. spectacle arouses here is the more poignant because Americans at home have suf fered no fraction of the deprivation it reflects. True, we can but imperfectly imagine what it is ; to be desperately and interrninably hungry. But then, UJ it were out lot to share in the depriva tion or even to be concerned at the prospect, we should have less thought to spare for other unfortunates. ( A rather immediate afterthought, when war spread to America, was the comforting one that anyway, well eat." The reassurance still holds good though now it is subject to modification. Whatever may be the impending shortages, our granary is overflowing and will continue to overflow. If by some inconceivable chance we should raise next year no wheat at all, grain supplies still would be ample. No matter what else may be denied us, we shall have bread. "Bread," a nine-year-old of our acquaintance recently remarked at a moment when the wherewithal to spread it was temporarily and accidentally lacking, "is awful lonesome without butter." True enough; nevertheless it is filling, nourishing, and as its manufacturers constantly advertise, decidedly palatable. .. , So, "anyway, we'Jleat" But just now the qualifying clauses are being added to the, sen tence. Unexpectedly there is a shortage of meat, , occasioned by (1) initially, though it is being corrected, a distribution inequity occasioned by a price ceiling tangle; (2) lend-lease with drawals; (3) improved buying power at home Impelling the public to purchase at the rate of 14 billion pounds a year, whereas only 11 bil lion pounds are to be available. Currently a system of allocation calculated v.; uu cquiiaiue uuiriDuuon supply is being instituted, with a j :t.i.i. j:. : ward rationing as the alternative if that fails. For the rest it is anticipated that spices, salad' tnd cooking oils, some canned foods, coffee, tea End cocoa will be scarce. Ocean transport is in general the bottleneck, though in. the case of pices it should be realized that a major source,. Java, i3'in enemy hands.

What lies ahead is not only an effort to dis tribute equitably the scarce items, but a cam paign to encourage consumption of plentiful foods. This may resemble regimentation of the dinner table but its purpose will be rather to cushion realization of the moderate deprivations ahead. : After all, we have heard much of the neces sity for sacrifice but have done precious little sacrificing to date. If you begin to feel abused, stop to think it over before you complain. Take another look at those photos from Spain, and then reflect once more that "anyway, well eafc News Behind The News By PAUL. MALLON CDtetribattoa by King Feature Syndicate, Inc. Repro duction ta whole or tn part frtrtcuy prohibited.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 The first great of fensive American action,, the invasion of the Solo mons, has not been fully reported to the public for a very good, but unstated, reason. It was not a battle, but the beginning of tha impatiently awaited campaign. It wu not like Midway or tha Coral sea, a battle which term inated when the action was over, but a hard, daring, costly, successful opening engagement. The details, if officially told, would let the Japs know just about where and how it will be continued. 1 My own personal guess, how ever, is that the next big stop will be Rabaul, the center of all 'Jap bases in the southwestern Pacific area and the last stop will be Tokyo. Also, from the cautious com muniques and other verified reports of the last 13 days, a broad ; general picture of what happened may now be presented without divulging any military information. Skillful, deceptive American propaganda enabled me blow to be struck with devastating surprise. While the invasion force of protective cruisers, destroyers and submarines (huddled around our transports) was steaming secretly toward the Tu- ' lagi area, the reports from General MacArthur's Australian headquarters were, loudly, and almost savagely, bewailing the fact he had no cargo ships available with which to start an offensive. He was pictured as tearing out his hair because Wash ington would give him rr power. This trickled Tokyo tj 'expect anything except' what happened. , y 1 The invasion force already had ' arrived at ap pointed landing places, and was actually disem barking marines, as well as other American and Australian forces, before tha Japs knew what was up. Their story, and the one from Berlin, that a Jap submarine detected our armada steaming to ward its objective August 5, the day -before the landings, and blasted it to pieces in a storm with" land-based planes, are obvious phonies. ' ': :- There was no major air or sea engagement until the night battle of August 8yB, the very bitter and heavy engagement, in which our losses were con less than the 41 ships claimed by the Japs, but yet more than the official concession here so far of one cruiser sunk and five ships damaged, This night battle will be shown as one of, the most dramatic naval engagements in all history, when the details are divulged. Jap cruisers and sub marines, having learned of the landings, which were started 12 hours or more earlier, dashed for the disembarkation points, in an effort to-wreck our transports, which were then still landing troops. They never reached their destination. Our naval forces intercepted them off some dis tance from the transports, and there followed such a melee of fighting men-of-war in darkness as has never been fought before. The Japs said the action was so closely fought that one of our cruisers actually ran into one of theirs. In, the darkness. It could be. 1 We have admitted only "close range fighting,' which brings a vivid scene of dozens of cruisers, destroyers and submarines on both sides,' groping around in darkness, without any assistance from airplanes, flashing on their searchlights at the slightest sight of dark objects, and then letting go whole broadsides at point blank range. Whoever fired first was the winner. Losses naturally were very heavy on our side and theirs, but what counts Is the indisputable fact that since that night, 12 days ago, not a sign of a Jap surface ship was seen in those waters. We got the Solomons. They retreated. No apology for our losses therefore seems warranted, even, if r they came anywhere near the Jap claims. t 5 ju No mention has been made in any communiques about airfields In that vicinity. There is supposed to be one on the British golf course at Tulagi, and ' another one good enough for bombers on Guada- canaL r .. Truth is, the Japs had many small fields strewn njuDu, nui omy m isuaaacanai ana tne F lorida islands, but particularly in Bougainville and Buka to the northwest . , ' Sparseness of news for the past ten days can be attributed, no doubt, to the fact the marines and other forces are cleaning out the Japs from the mountains and jungles in areas already occupied, and extending their conquest island by island. They probably . already have . moved land-based planes in with them, and when these are once established, they will be prepared to move on to the next spots, better prepared with bombing power and plane protection. MacArthur aided our sea and land forces in the area, not only with his publicity trick, but bydaily hurling his bombers at HabauL far to the northwest in New Britain Island. At this main Jap base he hit the airdrome and sunk at .least two 15,000 ton ships and several smaller ones, thereby preventing the Japs from aiding their defeated comrades In (as is proved by, the fact none of ... - This is the end of the winter season in that tropi cal clime, and the whole action has been carried on during constant thunder storms and heavy rains, which hindered operations and obscured the results. These natural hinderances, plus the necessities of official silence and grotesque Tokyor exaggerations cannot, however, obscure the fact that the opening offensive was a grand American ' 4ajM?? v The Octopus (Bits ffoir By R. J. HEMDRICKS Esto perpetua meaning 8-21-42 has aroused a highbrow public debate, starting with the issue of yesterday! H (Concluding (maybe) from yesterday:) If the reader has kept up with this column for the past week, he or she will understand the following letter, dated "Senior High School, Sa lem, Oregon, August 15, 1942, addressed to this columnist: "I regret very much to have to differ with as eminent an authority as Dr. Vatakis; but in the interests of truth I am compelled to point out that he is all wrong abeut this ESTO PERPETUA. S m "IH admit that In Spanish ESTO does mean this; but the phrase is not Spanish, but Latin, as you have rightly conjectured. ' "ESTO is nothing more than the - future imperative of the verb ESSE, to be, and so means simply "be, but variously trans lated as let it be, may it be,' it shall be,' etc ' V V "So the phrase means simply Let It be forever referring I suppose to the school, but per bans to the allegorical lady "Get out your old Latin gram mar and look at the conjugation of the verb SUM. I might add that the PRESENT imperative, which would be ES, is rarely used.

"Doubtless that, is where the business college man got it; for though Idaho did not enter the Union until ,1890, the motto was doubtless adopted when the Ter ritory was organized in 1863. "In that motto the PER PETUA refers to the State, in Latin RESPUBLICA, and so would properly be feminine; but since the word "School, SCHOLA, is also feminine, I suppose the gender is right in your phrase. "Now I don't claim to be a Latin scholar; but I took my Master's degree in Latin, and taught Latin for a good many years in the Middle West before coming to Oregon.

He wondered why he did not, and with a touch of quizzical self scrutiny was prepared to diag nose even a twinge of jealousy; he would really liave1 like to, Just for the chance to laugh at himself, but honestly he could not. Naturally" the girl liked peo ple of her own age; but there was another sense In which" he had to realize now how old as well as young she was; those youths treated her with such ob vious worship, it would not be fair for him to come along with his usual offhand badinage as to a child. And so deflate her adult prestige. And yet that was the only way he knew how to treat her casually,' unsparingly, nev er very politely. Perhaps that made up .. the chief reason he kept out of her way. ; As soon as the dinner guests had left on the Sunday evening, he began to make his own fare wells, for he intended to drive off early in the morning to reach his office by nine. Leaving Chet, Lydiar and Kitty in the drawing room, he sidestepped into the library for something to read in bed. It was a superb July night, .he did not feel slee py, "yet he knew he must sleep he had a busy day tomorrow. One of the library windows was open to admit the warm breeze, there was a full moon, and the illurnination, tricked by flapping curtains, played over the books like something alive and rest less. He was fumbling along the wall for a switch when he heard a sound behind him. "Uncle Charles don't put on any lights." He turned round; startled. She went on: "Why have, you been avoiding me? And dont say you haven't" "Of course I won't. I have. I know I have. And mis is why, I can tell you very clearly, be cause I've been thinking it out myself." He made his point about her age, and the young men, and his own offhand manner. When he ' had finished she said: "It's too' dear, too ingenious." "But don't you think one's subconscious mind does work in geniously?" "Maybe yours does. I'll bet it would." "You see, Kitty, you're no longer a child." "How trite for you to tell me that!"
