Most of them had to be trained from the ground up and all of them had to be equipped with the newest weapons of war No nation in the world has ever accomplished the organization of an army in faster time. Neither Germany, Italy, Russia France or Japan ever trained a comparable striking force in twenty months a It might be a good idea to remember this when you hear a lot of loose talk about taking possession of Europe at once, It is not likely to be a parade and parents of the soldiers involved will be glad that our officials took time fo train our men thoroughly WORRY UNNECESSARY Johannes newspaper columnist and radio commentator, is worried lest a militarily defeated Germany take advantage of our political unpreparedness.” Brother Steel can quit worrying We can gamble on political un- preparedness when the German military machine is completely defeal- ed.

We do not know whether the smaller size bonds will be available for the Third War Bond drive which opens on September 8th, but we are quite sure that they offer an attractive investment for Americans with surplus money. As President Roosevelt sald, in his proclamation setting the date for the opening of the drive which is to ralse $15000000000 “every American, under the guidance of his conscience,” will decide the extent to which he will “back the attack.” There is” LOUISA'S I LETTER i Dear Louisa My wife and 1 have rlways along together very well We two children who are very nearly grown and all of us went down to the beach for po two weeks’ vacation While we were there my wife seemed unusually Interested in any nice looking man she saw.
