Such an attitude will win the war. —o A marine commander in the recent Pacific battle radioed a message to Admiral Nimitz that read: “Japs lose pants trying to save face.” That seems to tell the story. O—O That Gay lad from Texas probably'had the only ringside seat for the Midway free-for-all and his •■fieh-eye'’ report Is a thriller that will be told a hundred years from now. The first job on every man's calendar today i* to win the war. If it Isn’t won, whatever follows is almost too horrible to contemplate.

We can understand how the boys will occasionally need a little of the alkaline but can’t be bothered carrying a gallon jug of bean juice around while th>-y are hunting Japs on the sea. in the air or through the sticky swamps of the Indias. Be sure to read the two-page bpread in today's paper for the Mc Millen industries. It contains the messages from numerous leading statesmen who are trying to help solve our great probb-ms and keep the home morale up. You will find valuable information and thoughts that should inspire us all to better service to win the war, the peace and the future. O—O William Dudley Peily, who operated a paper called the Gallilean at Noblesville, has been Indicted by a federal grand jury for sedition. We believe In a free press and In free speech but it certainly doesn't Include and was never Intended to Include such attacks upon government as Peily printed. The Indictment is In twelve counts and he can get twenty years on each, if found guilty. That ought to keep him out of circulation until the world has time to clean np the damage that he and others like him. have caused. I ■' ■■ " .

Those who are wondering on how they will enjoy their annual vacation when tires, cars, gas, railroad and bus transportation are all rationed or regulated. The answer seems to be that this is not a time for “seeing America first” and vacations will have to be visits to the sountry or in our own back yards. It’s tough, but every thing is so In war times and we are so much more comfortable than people of other countries that we can’t “kick" much and be popular. O—O Keep In Mind: Every man, woman and child ehould learn these four things for which we fight, for to lose any of them means the sacrifice is not worth while: 1. The Freedom of Speech and Expression — everywhere in the world. 2. The Freedom of every person to Worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world. 3. The Freedom from Want — which translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants — everywhere in the world. 4. The Freedom from Fear — which translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and In such a thorough fashion that no nation will he in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor — anywhere. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. O—O Cleans The Sinks: War production generally connotes the manufacture of airplanes, tanks, guns, ammunition. The little things that make possible the big things are usually overlooked or forgotten. Wa*te grease, the residue from cooking, is seldom mentioned as a potential war material yet it Is an important source of glycerine used In making explosives. This month's issue of Nation's Business tells how business men helped the Army salvage about 110.000 worth of grease a day from cantonment kitchens. The Army was having trouble with dogged waste lines from kitchen sink*. Plumbing manufacturers were called into consultation. They recommended a testing procedure for grease interceptors. Fifty types were submitted to the Institute of Hydraulic Research at lowa State University and those demonstrating a greaseholding efficiency of SO percent or better were given a certified rating tor army use. When the Army acted on these findings and installed the recommended equipment, it not only corrected the dogging of waste lines but was able to salvage enough grease to pay for the interceptors In a few months. 0 > Modern Etiquette I By ROBERTA LEE | Q.

outline of the baflteT 1— The United States forces were ready for a major Japanese attack. 2— Three flying fortresses sighted the Japanese fleet on the afternoon of June 3 and attacked it. 3— They were returning at dawn next day when navy patrol boats sighted an even larger enemy fleet and the air force wa* diverted to engage It. 4 — The Japanese fleet was in two columns with destroyers and lighter craft flanking the heavier units. 5— The aircraft carriers were behind the main fleet, and army flying fortresses went for them. 6— The carriers' planes were at that moment attacking Midway. 7— The bombers returned to And that Midway had been under a savage enemy plane attack. 8— Refueled, they went back to find the broken Japanese fleet seeking desperately to escape. “The navy found the enemy." Brlg.-Gen. WllMs H Hale, Colorado City, Colo., chief of bombing operations of the Hawaii department, said today. “Tip* army, the navy and the marines gave them hell.” Summing up the army planes' victims, he said: “The total destruction by the army air corps may even surpass this total because many units at outlying bases have not had the opportunity to reveal the extent of their activities."

In anddition to the two medium army planes lost with their crews, there were minor wounds to three members of other crews. The flying fortresses were ripped by shrapnel and machine gun bullets, but returned intact with onetail gunner wounded in a little Anger. Two members of a flying fort rem squadron, the only real casualties, were killed at Midway by Japanese bombers while their planes were out. Lieut.-Col. Walter C. Sweeney, Jr.. San Francisco, leader of the flying fortress squadron which carried out high level attack* on the Japanese fleet, said: “It should be emphasized that operations were carried out under most adverse conditions. The navy and especially the marines defending Midway were subjected to terrifically bad conditions." Sweeney told how three plane* of his squadron sighted the invasion fleet on the afternoon of June 3 and scored bomb hits on a heavy cruiser or battleship and a transport so large that "one of the boys described it a* of the Normandie class.”
