It seems incredible then that our forces could have entered the strait to go into the gulf from that end. They must then have gone around the north of Kolombangara Island. And the Japs must have come in on them while they were in the gulf, attempting to bar their exit.

In fact, they must have gone in there twice, for the Strong was sunk there Sunday night in an action which is not described as having any connection with the one just closed. This would mean that as in the Guadalcanal battle of Nov. 15, our forces deliberately entered a trap with the idea of having much more stuff on hand than the Japs could close the trap on. That Is, our forces are trying to provoke battles. That is about all one can make of the account as it stands at present.

But this only explains why we do not have good reports on the action; it does not explain the action and that needs a good deal of explanation as matters stand. Kula Gulf is a good deal of a bottleneck. At its western end Blackett Strait is excessively narrow and full of bad coral passages.

Presumably the Japs have at least shore guns mounted at Vila and near it. They could therefore keep any ship trying to penetrate the strait under heavy fire all To begin with, we arc told that the Japanese "probably' lost six warships while we lost a cruiser. Without in the least doubting that we won the battle, it is only fair to point out that a good many of these "probables" eventually escape "or have in the past' while no guarantee of size accompanies the six Jap warships. The fact is. as some of the correspondents with our forces have been pointing out, all these announcements are made from Washington and Washington, at a distance from what is going on, always plays it safe by holding out anything that graduate of Colby College.

Needn't Worry Girls Safe, Doing Big Job NORTH AFRICA The fond mothers of WACS in Africa may have visions of their poor little girls all alone over here in this big bad wona fighting off olive-skinned rogues with one hand and lions and snakes with the other. They needn't worry. The girls are perfectly safe.

Thousands of French women and girls, dressed just as Americans dress, crowd the streets at all hours. There are American Army nurses, and British nurses, WAAFS, WRENS and ATS girls, and five different kinds of French service girls in uniform. There is the thrill of being in the midst of vital things here, without the drawbacks of either physical danger or spiritual peril. Our WACS do about a dozen kinds of work here. It takes a couple of dozen to run their own two barracks, their three messes and their headquarters.

They are proud of 'I of these girls is now doing the work of four G. I. soldiers whom they replaced the big bumble-fingers. There are a number of WACS in the planning section, and these are cognizant of the most vitally secret information. They are good tongue-holders.

Their officers tell me that soldiers who have dates being a self-contained unit, requiring no help from anybody. They even repair their own stoves. Five cf the others are car drivers, and the rest work in offices. They serve as secretaries. typists, draughtsmen, phone operators, and mail sorters.

They get up and "go to the office" just as though they were on civilian jobs back home. There are six WACS in Gen. Eisenhower's office. There are 30 in the adjutant general's office, 11 in the judge advocate's office, 14 in civil affairs. The Signal Corps has 50 running switchboards and teletypes and deciphering code messages.

And since there are no WAVES over here yet, two WACS are working for the Navy!

In England it's a common sight to see a whole mili tary convoy driven by women, but we haven't reached that stage yet.

The two WAC truck drivers work phone switchboard from a soldier mostly in the city, but they have made cross-country trips of several FFIM hundred miles hauling supplies. efficiency goes up about 1000 percent. If there is one single thing the male species dors with complete confusion and incompetence it's running a switchboard.

Howard, for nearly a quarter of a century, has enjoyed such a reputation for fine clothes at a price within easy reach of most men. In times like these, when quality is more important than ever, the man who knows, goes to Howard for his clothes. Here at Howard, you find all the appeal of quality, style smartness, long wear at a low price.
