Four mainland cities were at- tacked and four Sicilly Island cities felt the rain of bombs. The island of Rhodes felt the blows severely, at least 66 civilians being knled and scores wounded. As soon as the approach of the' British air fleet was announced, many cities went into a blackout.

That is the fune- tion of General Staff. Their pur-! pose is to teach the 450,000 officers and men of the Second (Red) and Third (Blue) Armies how to operate under realistic conditions as dis- ciplined, coordinated teams. The games are like footballs “grid practice.” For months, in their own train- ing centers, the citizen soldiers learned how to use the Arms of, their units—how to operate tanks' and armoured scout cars, how to fire artillery and automatic arms,’ how to hike, deploy, pitch camp,| build bridges, set up communication lines, and do the jobs of an effi-‘ cient blitz army. Without this training there could be no modern army. But the next step, to learn how to operate as a| team, is equally essential. Field training cuts needless heavy Josses in battle,. The AEF was a hercic army, but as any veteran! will tell you, many men were lost because it lacked the field training which the citizens soldiers of 41 are now getting. In this they are’ blessed with good fortune. In our| past history citizen armies had to! learn the lessons of combat the hard way—under actual fire and at heavy sacrifice. i To Rule Jersey Fair | | , Douglas, | Justice Douglas has his home far| Moravia, to succeed Baron von | Neurath.
