| | le fourteen rooms. Maybe we could! PAGE EIGHT SE EE EC THE POST, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1944 From — Rhoda Veitch Cited Pillar To Post |By War Department (Continued from Page One) I dream of ‘a bedroom with one’ entire wall devoted to narrow | shelves concealed by sliding doors, | shelves of varying intervals to ac- commodate a wide variety of things, all of them stacked neatly and read- | ily accessible. Storage space for that! extra blanket, a section reserved for shot albums, a shelf for hats, a self for shoes. If you have ever read ‘Bleak House”, a book written a good many years ago by a certdin Mr. Charles Dickens, you will recognize in the foregoing paragraphs a good work- ing portrait of Mrs. Jellyby. Mrs. Jellyby was an untidy lady with her head in the clouds and her rather vague mind completely remote from the @ffairs of the household. Her visitor found the potatoes in the coal-scuttle, four envelopes in the gravy, and noted with considerable surprise that the curtain in the | guest room was pinned up with a | fork. We have never yet reached the forked-curtain stage, we ordinarily keep the envelopes out of the gravy, and we don’t own a coal-scuttle, but we are beginning to suspect that we resemble Mrs. Jellyby on a num- ber of other counts. It was Mrs. Jellyby who moved to a, larger house in order to have more room to be dirty in. With a booby-croop in the dining | room for the restraint of one small red-headed boy, a high chair and a shoo-fly, three rockers, one. bright red Estey organ and ditto bench, two couches and a piano in addition to the conventional dining room table and chairs, it has been causti- cally suggested that we add one more piece of furniture: to wit, a stout rope depending from the ceil- ! ing, for the use of members of the family who may wish to get from one end of the room to the other without threading the labyrinth or hurdling the obstructions. After all, this house has only find a larger one, a good sized fu- neral parlor or something fancy in the fraternal-order style of architec- ture. (Continued from Page One) in the branch because, as its chief, Col. George F. Herbert, explains, the army believes the least it can i do for any relative of a soldier lost or wounded is to show the utmost personal consideration. The casualty messages start in the combat zone, with the morn-. clippings, a shelf dedicated to snap- | 1° reports of the sergeants each day. The company clerk makes up (the company list—the men Killed, those reported wounded, those miss- ing and unaccounted for—which is forwarded to battalion or regimen- tal headquarters. From there, the reports go to corps headquarters, to army headquarters, finally to theatre headquarters, which sends the lists to the War Department. in | Washington. Deaths Verified At each stage, the reports are checked and rechecked with ex- treme care. Deaths are verified, all hospitals are checked to locate the men reported wounded and deter- mine their condition. The hospitals are checked also for the missing, and the search for the missing ex- tends to other units in the combat area involved. Not infrequently, it ‘is found that a soldier reported missing, may remain “missing” for days or weeks, and finally be lo- cated n Company B of the same outfit, having found himself with | them in a stiff fight and not having an opportunity during a continuing battle to rejoin his own company. Reports on the missing constitute the greatest problem of the casualty branch. A man disappears in— or in the case of airmen, over— territory controlled by the enemy. No one saw him killed, no one saw him wounded. When his outfit re- formed or returned, he simply was not there. If he remains missing for an extended period, the chances are that he has been captured. But until a definite and reliable report is received, there is no additional information to be had. At Jeast once every three months, the casu- alty branch sends the missing man’s family a letter reporting his status. Progress reports are also sent to the families of wounded men. An effort is made to forward these re- ports every 15 days, but sometimes delays are caused by inadequate { communications facilities and other factors. The families also are urged to send a cabled message to the wounded soldjer, the message be- ing handled by the army without charge. "See You in Maniia” FILIPINO FIGHTING SPIRIT, immortalized on Bataan, now sails the seven seas. These photos, re- leased by the U. S. Navy, show the officers and men of a Philippine merchant ship which, since Pearl Harbor, has carried war materials for the United Nations through 160,000 miles of sub-infested waters . in the Atlantic and Pacific. Above, the flag of the { Philippine Commonwealth flies beside the Stars and Stripes, symbolizing the cooperation between the two nations and the fighting spirit of the Filipino people, 20,000 of whom fought and fell on Bataan and other Philippine battlefields. In the best United Nations tradition, Filipino officers : and men share their Australian mascot (upper left) with a U. S. Navy gun crew, who sail with the ship. Filipino gunners take their turn (lower left) during the weary 24-hour vigils when Axis submarines are on the prowl for the ship and its precious war cargo. ., Although only three ships remain of the Philippine J merchant fleet, motto of the 44 officers and men of 4 this one is—SEE YOU IN MANILA.
