Remmel showing renewed effort in North Africa, there was little to refute Anthony Eden's prediction ; that It will take a long and tough fight to win. 11 0 OAnthony Eden. British foreign secretary, who is in this country to confer on present and post-war problems, believes the war with Germany Is far from over He does not nndeaatlmate their strength or their determination. And he Is probably right. It will be wise to proceed on that theory and to continue our very best efforts. —o President Roosevelt has pr<* claimed Sunday. Muy 16th. as "I Am an American Day,” under a custom established by congress in 1940. The proclamation said that In the last year the country "has been atlengthelied through the voluntary association with ux. by naturalization, of the many thousands of men and women from other lands and through our youth who. by c tning of age. have attained full citizenship.' Fighting the war is a practical and highly technical undertaking. It is th part of wisdom to back tin- judgment of the experts who are in charge of our military operation-. If we cannot trust them to e.iy how many men will be needed, we are ill p'for chape, indeed, if they do not know, it is not likely amateur strategists and politicians have any better Ideas on the subject. The liest advice we can get is hat of the War College and genoral staff, and we should follow it. Indianapolis Star.

He had much to do with financing th first world war and the reconstruction period that followed. As the head of the House I cf Morgan he wjeided the widest | influence uot only in this country but over the world. His wealth is estimated at fifty million dollars or 1< ss and it is remarkable that with only nine percent of the stock in his great banking in-iitutlon he was able to control action cf the board over a period of half a century.

Psychology Os Jap Soldier Is Weird Stranqe Japanese Conduct Related New York. Mar Iff— (UP)—Tbe psychology of the Japanese soldier is one of the weirdest things In the Pacific war. Vice-president Frank Bartholomew of the United Press, back from a 22.060-mile four of the. Pacific front says th. Jap fights when he should quit, and quits when he should fight. He know* bow to advance, hut he hasn't been told what to do when he find* he can't advance. Apparently, aays Bartholomew, the enemycommand figures thst no soldier of the emperor should ever get himself into such a disgraceful situation. An Australian general gave Bartholomew an example of the strange Japanese conduct when cornet-ed. The Allied liner were closing in on a Jap remnant in the Buna area of New Guinea when suddenly the enemy soldiers packed up their equipment mid started moving out. Not fighting, but simply trying «o march through the Allied lines with a staggering load of field equipment and cooking pots. “Apparently.” said the general, “they expected ns to step aside and open a pathway. They didn't offer to surrender, so we killed every Jap there." Another Australian officer told Bartholowew that no Japanese unit as such surrendered during the New Guinea campaign. But once it almost looked as though one was going to. A Japanese officer marched out toward the American linos under what appeared to be a white flag. In the middle of no man's land, he stopped, took a canteen of water, washed bls hands and dried them on the white flag, which turned out to be a towel. Brookston Bank Is Victim Os Robbery Brookston. Ind., Mar. 16.—(UP) — State police are seeking two bandits who robbed the Farmers' State Bank at Brookston of (2.557 yesterday afternoon. The holdup is Indiana's Aral bank robbery since a Jeffersonville bank was held up ou September 15. 1941. Bank cashier M. E. Kent and Miss Jessie Aiklre. his assistant, gave authorities a description of the gunmen. Kent says both were about 35 years old. One wore thick glasses, had a prominent hooked nose and was above live feet, sev'en inches tall. His companion was taller and wore an overall jacket. — i— o--Co I lector's Office Is Swamped With Returns Indianapolis. Mar. iff.— (UP) — Collector ot Internal revenue Will Smith estimates that bis workers will not catch up until Saturday with the task of sorting the approximately 1.000.000 federal Ini come tax returns filed by Hoosiers before the midnight deadline last night. About 250.000 more Indiana residents came under the Income tax this year than last. Smith says that a report of the total Income received from Hoosier taxpayers will not he available until sometime In April. Because of the misunderstanding occasioned by congressional discussion of pay-as-you-go tax plana and the many new taxpayers, the elev-enth-hour rush was far greater than usual this year. Postal werkers were swamped last night and , this morning and 25" mail bags were awaiting Smith and his staff thia morning. one? A. Tbe only difference lies in the Phrasing. I . Seek Child z .

CHAPTER TWENTY Then Seuman Linn read the newspaper story: Linn-Dunn Stable Stilt Owner of "Mystery Twin” By JAKE JICK Bert Sedgwick, better known among hie host of friends on the turf aa “Show Money,” denied J this morning a rumor that he had purchased The Shamrock, whose sensational race yesterday has the whole town talking. “I said I waa through with racing and that still goes," Sedgwick told the writer. “So far as I know, The Shamrock still is owned byMr. Linn and Mr. Dunnevan. They have had numerous offers for the horse but have refused to sell." It is reported that The Shamrock will be entered for the Handicap, if his next race in bettor company convinces Del Mar authorities that he has the class. Erin Go Bragh. the “missing twin “brother,” is still missing as we go to press. Joe Zilch, the old horse player, says he saw Erin Go Bragh ia a row-boat off Point Loma. "Blah! Wise guy!” "Yerse! Them newspaper guys oughta get a punch in the nose.” Georgina rapped her knuckles on tha tray. "Talk yourself outa this one!” she said, “I’m waiting with reapect- ! ful attention.” Seaman Linn blinked Innocently. “It’s jest like he says, Georgia. We had everything set to sell him I Erin Go Bragh for ft* grand, but he . got smart at the last minute and i wouldn’t buy." “Yerse! His girl friend woont let “Pipe down, Tim!” “Aw-aw, what's that about his girl friend?” Benny looked coldly at Georgine. “Go gel me a club sandwidge an’ a stein of beer,” he said. Fireman Dunnevan scowled at Millieeat. “Make it two. An’ step on it— I’m orful hungry." Georgina stood her ground. “Thia ain't Germany an' you ain't Hitler—not till you grow a funny mustache, Benny!" she said. “We knew you guys when you was a couple of gobs. So now you go highhatty when we ask a simple question. Okay—if that’s now you want it!" Millieent tried to make pear?. “We wasn’t butting in. Benny.

So if he hears you astin’ any more questions he’ll get sore an’ quit making those things. See?” “Gee ... thankt, Benny!” “Yeah ... much gratitude,” said Georgine. Fireman Dunnevan chuckled. “Sedgwick, he give Benny fl' hunnert —owwww—whut you punebin’ me for, Benny?” “I got an idea," said Georgine, “but I wouldn't discourage that funny little man!" “Hips and brains!” Benny said, approvingly. Hcnee, it was on a note of optimism and in an aura of success that Seaman Linn and Fireman Dunnevan reported for duty aboard the U.S.B. Trimble, their ftve-day liberty ended. They had pyramided Tim’s original legacy into *5438.50 net and this money was now deposited to the credit of Benjamin Linn in a San Diego bank. They were still the nominal owners of The Shamrock and the actual owners of Erin Go Bragh. They had the LinnDunn Stable at Del Mar, a trainer and a jockey under contract They also had a mascot, El Perla, down on the Fernandes farm. Even Chief Mulcahy, his heart warmed by collection of a ftve-dollar bet on The Shamrock, greeted them eordiaily. “Glad ye’re back, boys!” he said. “ 'Tie famous ye are—with a fine hone an’ silk* of yer very own.” Then, he dug his thumb into Seaman Linn's ribs: "I'm gueesin, the word ia to lay off Shamrock in his next start, eb? Won't have a chance, eh?” Seaman Linn spat eockiiy. “You ean’t never bet on racehorses or women. Chief,” he said. “All the percentages is against itl* Chortling, the Chief gave Tim and Benny some good news. Yeoman Wester had loot twenty dollars betting against The Shamrock. “He couldn't believe ye'd get that horse's feet in shape overnight. An* faith, I don't understand bow you did it, meet If!" “Force ate brains. Chief!" But Tim’s and Benny’s cup overflowed when Lieut.-Commander Herrick, halting near the ladder to officers' quarters, beckoned to them. "Er ... uh ... Linn?" “Yeasir!” “Good liberty?" “Swell, sir!” “I understand that horse turned out all right, after ail?" “He sure did, sir. Won us a six hunderd buck purse." "Yerse, sir! We got ft’ grutd—” “Pipe dewe. Tim!" Cap's Herrick grinned. “Winner or not, I’d sell him the first good chance, Lina. Sailors and racehorses shouldn’t try to mix." “That’s right, air.
