A WAR-TIME FRAUD
From the war department comes a warning to the next of
Kin of army casualties to be on the alert against promotion
schemes which may be fraudulent, but which are disguised as
an endeavor to srive public recognition to the individual
soldier.
Typical procedure by the operator is to write to father or
mother, sister or wife of the soldier, ostensibly sceKing lur
ther information regarding him and explaining that his name
or Dicture is to annear in a "hall of fame" or "hero's memorial
book." This, of course, will cost some money. The idea of
deposit or cash in advance is more or less delicately conveyed
Once the remittance is received, the transaction is ended,
There is no "hall of fame" or "memorial book, or any actu
ality whatever corresponding to the bait that has been dangled
before the eyes of the soldier's relatives. It is a swindle and
a particularly low and despicable type of swindle.
Let us add here that, while the warning comes from the
war department and is consequently directed to the families
of soldiers, it is just as applicable to the families ot those 11
navy classification service.
And one further thought. If you should receive a communi
cation making solicitation of the general sort mentioned here,
save it and turn it in to your postmaster. The U. S. Post Of
fice department has a most effective way of dealing with such
operators. 1
The highly readable column, "In the Day s News, written
for the Roseburg News-Keview and the Klamath Herald and
News, gives an especially interesting picture of the last days
of Berlin, of a defense in which littiu quarter was asked or
given and concludes by saying, It was written long ago:
'Those that live by the sword shall perish by the sword.' "
t The quotation would have been less apt had it been given
as it appears in our b'ible : "all they that take the sword shall
perish with the sword."
The columnist will doubtless recall that it was Christ who
gave the admonition to one of his followers (identified else
where as Simon Peter), who sought by force to save his
master from arrest.
Susumu Eijiri, Japanese correspondent, returned from
Germany, describes naziland as a ruined country. How edify
ing this must be to his countrymen and how enlightening, too,
if they pause to reflect that Japan is going to look consider
ably worse by the time the Yanks get through with it.
Samples of the sort of destruction that they may con
fidently expect have already been considerately provided by
American fortresses and super-fortresses. A few million Japa
nese have seen these samples. All they have to do is to use
their imaginations to visualize the Japan of a year from now.

Prineville Navy Pilot Has Part
In Blows at two Jima, Palau
Washington, t). C, May 7
Lieutenant (junior grade) Jerrold
F. Battles, U. S. N. R of Prine
ville, Oregon, pilot of a Navy
fighter plane, lew a total of 31
combat missions during his re
cent tour of duly in the Pacific.
Now Tetui ned on lrave, he was
attached to composite squadron
77 and flew a Wildcat fighter,
based on an escort carrier.
During his seven-month tour he
flew in the air support operations
that accompanied the invasions
of Palau, the Philippines, and!
Iwo Jima. He also helped provide
air covering for fleet oil tankers
that Bupplicd fuel to the fleet in
the combat areas and he was in
the bold offensive strike that the
Third fleet first made in the South
China sea.

ammunition and 454 rockets, and
dropped 3U2 bombs.
All told, the squadron's carrier
survived three typhoons, the most
severe of which hit them last
Decemlier. Only ton miles from
the center of the storm, the baby
flattop was whipped about by a
wind that was over 100 knots per
hour. In recounting the exnerl-

By the end of August the sum
mer people had gone, and the
ason was past for boarders. We
still owed the bank $200. Out
wardly my mother showed no dis
couragement. "We've decided to
stay here a little longer," she
would say pleasantly when peo
ple asked about our plans. But
o..c ; anier, too, lor jay added -some-
father either. thing to every word he spoke. Not
Early in September he had an all of the messages were social
idea. "The government Is taking j ones. "Bill Leach wants to know
seed for your garden. Or If you
had run out of something, he
would match ft for you thread,
crochet cotton, braid. You could
even trust Jay to pick things out.
A pattern. Dress goods.
Hq took messages, too Invita
tions, reminders, greetings. It was
easier to tell Jay than to bother
to write out a card. It was pleas-
bids for the stage line," he said.
"There's no reason why someone
on this end shouldn't have it."
Until now it had been held at the
Junction.
The stage carried not only mail,
but express and passengers as
well. We had a covered double
seated wagon (which we had
every reason to believe would
hold out until snow), a pung, and
two horses that would otherwise
when he should take off his band
age," he might say to my father.
Or "Bert Billings can't ligger why
his burn don't heel." Sometimes
the stage came dashing in a good
half - hour ahead of schedule to
announce a birth that was immi
nent. People who had never trusted
things to the stage before trusted
them to Jay. Sometimes he had
more of. a load than the wagon

through the alders.
The first month Jay carried 38
passeggers and 402 pieces of ex
press. That had brought in $88.
, The check from the government
had been $90. Of the $178, $40 had
gone to Jay, $35 to the stable at
the Junction for the board of the
horses, and the remaining $100
tow.ard the horses themselves.
Since they had cost $200, this left
us, as far as the stage line was
concerned, only $100 in the red. j
My father was delighted. At the
end of November we would be
breaking even, he said, and from
then on we would show clear
proiit. ,
"We will be home by Christ
mas, easy," he promised.
