JOE GIVES US A DOSE OF VINEGAR, MAY BE GOOD FOR HOME FRONT "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell has shattered a lot of over-optimism as to the end of the war in Japan. He says: 1. The war could easily last at least two years longer. 2. It is quite possible that we will have to fight in Manchuria, even after the Japanese homeland is conquered. 3. It will take ground action in addition to anything done by bombing. Gen. Stilwell made these observations while viewing the Okinawa fighting as commanding general of army ground forces. In addition to what the general knows about war generally, he also knows plenty about the Far East and about the Japs. He was fighting them in China before his latest assignment. . His pessimistic predictions should be enough . to sober any home front optimist who thinks the war is all but won. An incident in recent news is new evidence of the tenacity of the Japanese. After terrific battling cn Okinawa where they

lost thousands of men, the Japanese were called upon to suit

render or lose the lo.OOO surviviag members of the army there. They ignored the surrender demand, will fight? it out: The Tokyo radio has said that Okinawa was never intended to be a last line of defense whose fall would mean the end of the wax for Japan. This indicated that, despite our fire bombing of Tokyo and other important Japanese cities, the " Japs are going to defend their homeland with even more fanatical warfare than they have employed to date. These are points to consider when weighing Gen. Stilwell's prediction.

v. As to fighting in Manchuria, there is some sentiment and it will probably grNow that we should not fight on the continent of Asia after we lick the Japs on their home grounds. The answer to this rests in the question of what are we fighting for. If we are fighting to stamp out fascism and aggressive warfare then we must continue the battle wherever those elements exist. To exterminate the Japanese at home, yet let them set up a new shup in China or Manchuria,, would not make sense. ; , , We must continue our fight for unconditional surrender of Japan regardless of whfc re it takes us.s To kill aggression in one spot and let it fester In another would only' mean a new yai-in the years to come. 1

. SYNOPSIS In woods near Budapest, Roger Vaughn, the American polo player, meets a beautiful girl on a black mare. She appears ill at ease and ifi obviously eluding someone, but will give him no information. From the depths of the forest a thudding of hoofs is heard. The mysterious stranger throws Roger a kiss and gallops off. Two local polico ride up. Roger learns from them that the woman is Hon Gardonyi, wanted for felony. They warn Roger against seeing her again under threat of arrest. On his way out of the woods, Roger gets lost. fie decides to camp for the night. Suddenly a cry of anguish pierces the stillness. Roger investigates and in a cabin nearby he sees Hon trussed up and about to be tortured by two policemen to force her to reveal the names of her accomplices. He rescues her. Hon is anxious-to ride on, saying much depends on it, but Roger insists that they camp for the night as near the cabin as possible. That would be safest, for the police would be expecting them to flee the country. While Roger prepares their beds, lion tries to escape. '. CHAPTER V "Let me go!" Hon panted. "Who do you think I am, that you can drag me away like this?" Her ingratitude rendering him too furious to speak, Vaughn slapped her in the face. . . "So you were guilty! By heaven, you'll stay here until I " "I'll not!" Her blazing eyes became simply enormous. ' Barely in time Vaughn saw the moonlight reflected by a slim and deadly triangle of steel, and so was able to twist his body aside. Thus the keen point merely stung his shoulder. "You hell cat!" The wound was Insignificant, but it served to loose ft thousand unsuspected demons in Roger Vaughn's soul and he leaped at her to wrench the knife from her hand. , ' "Sweet little thing, aren't you?" She tried to bite him. Primordial Instincts, dormant in all mankind, purged to the top. Pinioning both her hands in one of his, he thoroughly searched the struggling girl, then drenched her head back to kiss her mouth savagely again ami again before flinging her from him. '.' "Being stronger yeu have won, Monsieur the American. But it is 8-still something to know I I was I not wrong about that one b-bed in the lean-to." ) He made no move to release her but his attitude changed as suddenly -M if he had put on a new garment. "Was that why you tried to run away?" ','' . -, "Yes." "Is that why you tried to stab e?" s, - "Had I really tried," she panted, i could have k-killed you when ( you first sewed me. But I was still too terribly srrateful, I I could not, even if it costs what it appears it will." . j Unopposed, he tooR Tier hot little faee between his hands and peered linto the mystery of her eyes an eternal moment, then he kissed her lightly and gtrt to his feet saying, We've both been a little crazy ind. since it's been a bard day, let s get something to, eat, then maybe ; jyljnLeea,.', - liV,ois.

Still seated, Hon peered np incredulous. "Then the lean-to was not?" "It was for you alone. I was going to sleep under the pines often have." "Oh-h " She was or her feet in an instant and, running up to him, threw both arms about his neck, to cling there weeping softly like an overtired child. "hlenem! What a silly fool I am, Oh, m-mon ami,. I I should have known in spite of everything. It was only that I I had thought you so splendid so fine. Even if you

hate me you will give me a kiss of forgiveness, no?" Timidly she offered the warm and quivering lips he' had already bruised, and for a moment there was nothing in the world for these two but glorious moonlight and stars. I Heaving a sigh richlv eloquent of comfort and well-being, Roger Vaughn threw the last of his cold chicken into the tiny campfire and, watched by the girl who sat on the edge of her pine bough bed, pro ceeded to pull out and load a shortstemmed pipe. Having settled luxuriously back upon the boughs, Hon gazed steadily at him from beneath those heavily lashed lids. He, with his white shirt open at the throat, was looking very bronzed and muscular where liis skin appeared beyond it. "You little devil," said he at last and tossed a fresh branch on the fire. "Do you always go in for excitement like this?" "Certainly, whenever I find such able support," she replied with-a dimpled imitation of his grin. Uncertainly she extended a small hand and under the influence of the food and cognac seemed to become once more the girl of the glade. "I wish in a way to explain. You were right down there. So, if you please, mon ami, give me a cigarette and poke up the fire. Sit beside me and let us talk like ban Die.u, are we not like husband and wife?" "Hum," grunted Vaughn delving for a package of "Regalias" in the saddle bags,"maybe that's the way husbands and wives, talk in Hungary, but in America, well " He towered over her, 'the match flaring in his fingers. How small, how infinitely delicate she seemed. How unfathomable were the thoughts in that coppery gold head. His heart thudded violently then, with a quick gesture, she seized hjs left hand and pressed a burning kiss upon its hard brown back. ' .( "That, ' she cried in a passionate undertone, "is in gratitude for 'try country. You have-served Hungary far better than you know." , I "Oneh!" Vauchn flunp' awav the match which had burned his fingers and so, fortunately, broke the spell for the moment. "Well, I am gld of that but I still can t see how." ' "It is a long sad story." Sh vented a sigh then, clasping her arms about her slim knees, stared into space; her cigarette gleamed like a jewel as she drew lightly upon it, then paused to pick a bit of tobaceo from her lips. "You already have learned as vou said you would who I amBut you have earned the right to know more. We Gardonyis have been Hungarian for a thousand years, as has our barony of Jasina which guards the upper Carpa thian passes into Rumania, were .those passes to become the property fellows were my best buddies.

DEBATING CURBS STALL PARLEY. A formal Russian demand for definite curbs on debating rights of a new world assembly stalled the Sunday working schedule of the United Nations conference and tossed the knotty issue to a special three-man committee. BELGIAN STRIKE MAY GREET KING. Police guarded the National Radio Station and Central Telegraph Office in Brussels and there were hints of a general strike as Belgium awaited the .return of King Leopold amid rlew demands that he abdicate.

of anothef nation Hungary would be helpless she is not allowed

enough soldiers to defend a flat frontier. My brother is Count can dor Gardonyi or, say rather, Gar donyi Sandor, because we Hun garians write our family name first like the Chinese and also line them wear our wedding rings on the right hand." "You keep your heart in the right place, don't you?" She shook her head in rebuke at the lightness of his tone. "No, nov I : am very serious now. Like a true Magyar, I laugh one minute and cry the next. You have noticed the trait in our music, no? First the fries and then the lassu, no?" "Sorry, please go on." "In brief, what has happened is this; after that terrible war of 1914-1918, great parts of Hungary were betrayed and given to other peoples." Wrath flashed into her voice. "But Jasina was so obvious ly Hungarian that even the bad old men who drew the Treaty of Trianon dared not give it outright to nn upstart kingdom a neighbor of ours. It was therefore declared a plebiscite area. In just a week, Monsieur Vaughn," the faintly oblique eyes glowed with a sudden flame, "that plebiscite is to be held!" "You just said Jasina is mostly all Hungarian, so why worry?" de manded Vaughn, stretching long booted legs before him and drawing hard upon his pipe. "Two reasons." Hon Gardonyi held up a pair of slender, tapering fingers. "First, because this upstart kingdom has sent many, many worthless people into our country bah! They are leeches, vagabonds, but their vote counts as much as our peasants and ourselves. And there is another thing probably more dif ficult for you to understand. We in Jasina live so far to the east and so high among the mountains that our people are still very simple and child-like.". The lustrous aureole of the girl's mall bright head glimmered in the fire as she continued earnestly. Yes. Truthful themselves, onr peasants are easily deceived. This is what happened During the war. first the Russians, then ' the Rumanians invaded Jasina. Twice our people won it back and the land be came a desolation one more invasion and our poor people would have died by the thousands. Count Gardonyi, my father, knew this also that our exhausted troops could not hold the passes so, in all humanity,, he wrote to the Russian's Corps Commander that, if he would guar- ' antee to spare, the people and ieed them, father would evacuate the passes. "Well, what happened? ' Vaughn, ' deeply intrigued, studied the sensitive face beside him as she went on. "The Russian accepted my fath-' er's terms and the passes were sur-, rendered. But once the invaders' were in Jasina, the Czar's general forgot his promises and there followed terrible days for our people.1 "A nasty situation," Vaughn commented. "I suppose the people in Jasina were pretty bitter about it." . "They were. Before they could be convinced of father's good faith, he was shot from ambush and the peasants swore they would never be Hungarian again that is so absurd. They'll see it, too, later on." j (To be continued) ! Copyright by r. Vtn Wyck Mason; , f Distributed by King Feature! Syndicate, Ino. ! of interest, soon. so will close. Write WOODY.

"No one in the village ever fired a shot or lifted a hand against the Germans," the priest said, "but the men of Robert-Espagne and'i Couvonges were immediately ex - ecuted in two -groups. First a group of 25 was' shot and then the others, who were obliged to witness the execution of their friends, were lined up in three rows and executed." Among the men shot were the chief of police and the station master who was also choir lead er.
