OF NAZIS, RUSS CLAIM Soviets Slow Axis Hordes One of the United States Army's ablest officers told us this story about our enemies, the Japs. It's great as a story, priceless as a lesson.

You take it, sir: "There was a polite knock. "I opened the stateroom door and you guessed it. Another Jap. A policeman this time. He hissed: I came to see about the money for the 'Come in, old I told him, 'and have a "Well, you know how hard liquor hits Japs.

I forgot all about the 'money for the music' when I got back to Corregidor, because I was pretty busy. "One day I got a letter from a friend of mine in Tokio. "Tou know that money for the the letter said.

I finally paid it. Of course, you were absolutely right in refusing to settle for something you didn't order. But they kept after me and threatened to take it up with the United States Army in the Philippines. I didn't want you to be bothered or embarrassed. So I gave them the $4.50 and you can send me a check or not, as you "I sent the check." The story-teller sighed.

We were thinking about our, enemies, the Japs, all the Huge Toll Taken By Airmen Hitler Held Making Great Sacrifices To Cross River of the Soviet Azov Sea naval flotilla, the announcement related. Whether the Nazis had renewed this attempt to cross the Sea of Azov was not stated. The Soviet midnight communique still listed the Salsk and Kushchevsk areas, 100 miles southeast and fifty-five miles south of Rostov, as the scenes of "heavy defensive fighting" through Monday, notwithstanding Nazi broadcasts claiming advances beyond those points. In what were officially described as "fierce" combats in the Kushchevska zone, "one inhabited place changed hands three times" during the day, the war bulletin recounted.

We were thinking about the diligent monkey-men on "This was peacetime, and my wife and I were in Tokio on a short vacation from Corregidor. "We dined out at a fancy place one night a full Japanese dinner, with the charcoal brazier on the table and all that. "There was music, to which we didn't pay much attention; we were interested in the intricacies of the meal and an occasional glass of saki. "When we got our bill, we found there was an extra $4.50 gold on it for 'music "Well, I told the Japanese woman proprietor I didn't order the music, and I wouldn't pay for it. Boy, did she argue! But I called in a policeman.

She said: 'I want the money for the music "She followed us to the hotel desk and finally was put out. "Next morning there was a knock at my door. 'What can I do for you, I asked the Jap who stood there in frock coat, silk hat and striped pants. He was bowing and showing all his teeth.

He lisped: 'I came to see about the money for the "Well, I told him it had all been threshed out, and he finally bowed'and smiled and left. "Next afternoon I was sitting at the bar with a big Irish friend of mine. I got a tap on the shoulder. "It was another, different Jap, as impeccably dressed as the first, bowing and scraping, and putting on the same big tooth act. 'I came to see about the money for the he said.

my big Irish friend could cuss to curl your hair. He gave the Jap the works. The Jap listened patiently, smilingly, and left.

We were recalling that these "small-scale landings" (Navy Department communique of June 12) already have resulted in the construction of airfields, from one of which "shore-based Nakajima-97 fighters rose to meet American aircraft" (dispatch of Keith Wheeler, Chicago Times correspondent with the Pacific fleet, passed by Navy censorship). 'We were thinking, most particularly, about the flippant wisecrack of a Navy Department spokesman, June 10, concerning reports of Jap aggression in the Aleutians. "None of our inhabited islands are troubled with uninvited visitors up until this time."
