No Time for
AHILE the results of the
VV ample cause for rejoicing, we should be wary of
- complacency.
The war is still far from won. One success should
not only add to our determination and effort, but it should
step, up precautionary measures against another blow
from the enemy.
Morale is on the rise In the United States. The vic
tory in the Pacific, the terrific British aerial assault on
German centers, and United Nations successes in Africa,
have contributed- to a growing conviction that the tide
c T?ir is turning our way at last.
. Such may well be the case, but over-confidence has
turned many a potential victory into defeat. Let us be
confident, but let us remember also that the road to vic
tory is still long and difficult and will require every
thing we have if we travel it
We are fighting an enemy that is crafty, shrewd, stub
born and no respecter of conventions or high-sounding
' codes. He will get in a blow whenever and wherever he
ean. He is looking for another chance right now. -
Plenty to Do
A FINE-LOOKING group of young men 48 of them
took the oath of allegiance at Sunday's Avenge Pearl
Harbor ceremony, a heartening event that was in tune
Iwith the navy's successes in the mid-Pacific on the
same day.
One first world war veteran, looking at the V shaped
group of recruits, remarked: "There is only one thing
wrong with that picture, so far as I am concerned. I want
to be there, too."
Probably every man in the audience felt the same way.
That spirit, translated into the things that can be done
on the home front, will help win the war. There should
be no moping by those who fail to get into the services
for one reason or another. There is still plenty they
ean do.
Indians Ask Huge Sum for
Loss of Land, Fish Rights
SEATTLE, June 8 UP) Claim'
faif title to virtually all of south
eastern Alaska, an Indian "na
tion" has launched a suit to
recover $35,000,000 from the
government for lands and fish
ing rights appropriated by white
men.
Tha claimants art the Tlingits,
who contend that the czar of
Bussia recognized their title to
Alaska's most populous region,
which includes the cities of Ju
neau, Ketchikan, Skagway, Pet
ersburg and WrangelL The
United States recognized . the
title, the Tlingits contend, in the
treaty of cession in 1867.
. The region contains rich min
ing developments and myriad
fishing sites and canneries which
form the territory's major in
dustry. The suit was prepared by a
Juneau legal firm for filing in
the court of claims at Washing

withheld until it was 24 hours
old, too late to be of any value
to the enemy,
"Let us assume what is quite
possible, that a Japanese naval
task force has arrived, undetect

coast of the United States," the
twelfth naval district said in a
Statement.
' "It contains two aircraft car
riers, two battleships, three hea

WASHINGTON. June 8 Rus
sia Is pressing for a post
war understanding now on ac
quisition of a moderate amount
of territory which she considers
essential to her own defense.
You can see this In the In
spired news dispatches from
Moscow, such as the one June 3
in the New York Times, claim'
ing red rights to the Karelian
isthmus, the little Baltic states
of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia
the part of Poland she occu
pied called "White Russia," and
the Bessarabian, Bukovlnian
and Moldavian sections of Ro
mania.
The request for an under
standing on this is reported on
competent authority to have be
come known diplomatically to
London and to Washington.
Obviously, even such a fair-
sounding and restrained demand,
cannot bs granted without cor
rupting the basis on which the
United States and Great Britain
are conducting the war, or in
fact our own form of govern'
ment.
Scurei promises would amount
to secret treaties, and the presi
dent is not empowered to make
secret treaties. Our form of gov
ernment requires treaties to be
ratified and proclaimed by the
senate. If any official of. this
government made a promise, it
could not be binding, and, there
fore, would be worthless.
But even if this were not the
case, neither London nor Wash
ington officials would consider
it a wise policy to -start hand
ing out personal promises to
work after the war for se
cret territorial acquisitions for
friends. If the first reasonable
request is granted a dangerous
and embarrassing course would
be opened up.
Whatever diplomatic repre
sentations were made by Russia
can definitely be assumed to
have been rejected.
GAS UNLIKELY
It is' not thought likely that
poison gas will ever be used In
this war, except in such lim
ited circumstances as already
reported in China and on the
Russian front. ,
It would just not be worth
while from a military standpoint
for anyone to use gas bombs
against cities like Washington J
London, Tokyo or Berlin. To
create any effect, a tremendous
amount of gas would be required.
Hundreds of planes would be
necessary for any important
raid.
No military advantages would
accrue because civilians alone
would suffer. Why carry gas
against civilians when the same
number of planes can inflict
real military damage with in
cendiaries and explosives?
Use of gas against seaside mili
tary objectives like Midway,
Pearl Harbor, Dutch Harbor,
etc., is even more improbable.
Constant sea breezes would keep
ic trom Deing effective.
Gas is a wholly ineffective
weapon In a war of movement
which this war has turned out
to be in Europe and the far east.
It was usable in the first world
war, because then fighting was
limited to trenches and posi
tions were stabilized.
About the only real use for It
now (aside from possible at
tempts at terrorization) is at
points where the enemy must
hold or advance through narrow
places, especially low marshv
ground. A retreating force espe
cially, under these conditions.
could effectively use gas to de
lay an enemy advance.
THEY'VE USED IT
The Japs need not denv that
they, have used gas on 70 or
more occasions In their war in
China. A place where they re
lied heavily on this hated wea
pon was at Ichang at the head
of the Yangtze river.
The Japs had taken that town
and the Chinese were counter
attacking. The Japs stopped the
counter-attack by laying down a
gas Darrage.
Again, In recent weeks, the
Japs used gas around Klnhwa.
The Chinese held the city for
seven days against Jap attacks
uniu neavy barrages of gas
shells were fired into the town.
on most of the other occa
sions the use was limited and
In some, experimental.
FEW ADVANCES
It is strange, but true, to learn
now, after all we anticipated
about prospective gas terroriza
tion in this war, that few ad
vances In its demoniacal effi
ciency have been made by any
nation since the last war. The
improvements are nothing like

and mustard types of the world
war are still the main ones.
The stuff we heard about the
Germans having a nerve gas
which temporarily froze their
adversaries on the Belgian and
Dutch border was just that
stuff. Both in Russia and in
Japan, the enemy has used gas
mostly in mortar shells at
range of 300 or 400 yards. Oc
casionally a withdrawing force
has left gas mines behind.

In reporting that American cap
