CRIME RECORD The American Jewish congress, sadly conversant with the progress of Hitler's purpose to exterminate the Jewish peopie in Europe, asserts that a belated United Nations victory may nowhere find, in all the continent, one of that race to release from an incredibly cruel captivity. This organization sug- gests that a commission be immediately appointed to investigate the crimes against the Jews and other civilian populations with a view to bring the crim- | inals to the bar of justice. But, except that we fight to conclude the war in victory as soon as may be, what remedial or preventive steps can be taken? The sadistic oppressors of the European Jews already have committed themselves, by the enormity of their crimes, to the scaffold. If a rémnant of the Jewish people is to be saved in®*Europe the race of battle must be won against time. Here is but the partial record of the most de- praved and merciless crime in all the history of mankind: Since 1939 all but 40,000 of Geérmany's 200,000 Jews have been deported or have perished; of Austria's 75,000, all but 15,000; of those that were in Bohemia and Moravia, numbering 80,000, all but 15,000 have disappeared. In Poland alone 600,000 Jews have perished, by starvation, torture, epidemic and execution. Of the 180,000 Jews of the Nether- lands there now are but 60,000. In Yugoslavia 96,000 out of 100,000 are dead, deported or imprisoned. In Greéece all Jews between the ages of 18 and 45 are in unendurable slavery, and the number of dead can- not be estimated. In France, 35000 out of 300,000 have been dcported. Rumania had 900,000 Jews, and now there are but 270,000, by reason of deportation, death, slavery or imprisonment. Of Latvia's 100,000 Jews one-fourth have been massacred and the re- mainder are enslaved or starving.

Indeed, Hitler himself has de- The imagination recoils from the proportion of such a crime, yet the proofs of it exist in consistent report of a systematic project of racial extermination. ‘ Primitive Warfare : (Cincinnati Enquirer) When war broke upon the world in September of 1939, it was mechanized war at a breath-taking tempo. It was a war of intricate machines, of mas- sive fire power, of lightning communications. As the Nazi hordes rolled over Poland and then after an interval smashed through the Low Countries and France, it was the universal assumption that war had been graduated now into the realm of a formidable technology. That may be the fact so far as most operations are concerned. Our naval vessels, our great bombers, our rolling fortresses called tanks are all complex weapons. Each soldier today has at his beck a wealth of mechanized equipment scarcely imagined even 25 years ago. And yet there are campaigns in which these things count for little, in which the infantryman is supreme. There are even operations in remote jungles in which the crying need is for the skills found in first-class squirrel hunters. Such a cam- paign is the one now waged on New Guinea, and with increasing success, by American and Australian lads. To be sure, Marauders overhead, protected at times by Lightning interceptors. The men on the ground at Sanananda Point may have been brought originally to the front in great military transport planes—miracles of tech- nical development. Yet there in the steaming jun- | gle, facing the foxholes of a resourceful enemy who depends chiefly on well-hidden snipers, it is the infantryman who must take a position and hold it. Officers who have been through the New Guinea campaign to the capture of Gona and Buna contend that the most pressing need is for crack shots who know something about woodcraft. eration of Daniel Boones. Thesé infantrymen do not need to know how to take apart an internal combustion engine. But they do need to know how to stalk a single enemy sniper whose habits are closer to those of monkeys than of men. Perhaps, before we are through, there will be a call for young men to form special jungle battalions, | men who have not forgotten what they learned as Boy Scouts, men who learhed in the hills of Tennes- | see and Arkansas the marksmanship and woodcraft | now required for hunting Japs. Citizens of this country are waiting for a pro- test from Rome about that American raiding party| in Tunisia that frightened a superior force of Ital-! ians into flight with its battle cry of “Hi Ho Silver.” There is nothing in the Hague convention permitting such unconventional conduct. Signor Mussolini pro- bably will make a strong case against the terroristic practices of the Yanks. Even after some politicians toss their hats into | the ring, they continue to talk through them. ‘The new tax on liquor simply means that the high cost of hlgh living is hlgher HOSPITAL NGTES Edward Dull hns ventered ‘st.

Honors will be earned by many in an engagement a month hence, it is predicted. Good news for many families is forecast. Illnesses due in many cases, due to recent ad-{ vances in medication.

The water flooded the basement the previous morning when the waste valve leading from the basement to the channel broke, the tide being high at the time, The Executive Committee of the Southeast Alaska Shrine Club had decided to give another of their enjoyable dances on the evening of Thursday, February 22, Washington's Birthday. The affair was to be given in Elks' Hall and the Coliseum Orchestra had been engaged to furnish the music. Mrs. J. L. Freeburn, wife of the manager of the Chichagof Mine, arrived in Juneau from the mine and left on the Northwestern for the States. Plans for stocking certain areas of the Prince William Sound dis- trice with elk, deer, moose and other animak had been adoptéd by the Cordova Game Club, according to L. €. Pratt, Secretary of the club, whg had arrived the previous day. The plans had been approved by the Bioogical Survey which had promised to co-operate in thé undertaking. U. S. Marshal George D. Beaumont left on the steamer Jefferson for Ketchikan on official business. R. J. Sommers left Juneau on thé Northwestern for Wrangell on a Excursion rates for the Southesst Alaska Inter-School Meet, to be held early in April, were virtually assured from all points, according to an announcement made by Supt. J. E. Lanz, of the local schools. A pronounced earthquake shock was noticeable in Juneau in the morning at an early hour, according to M. B. Summers, Meteorologist, in charge of the local weather bureau. The tremor oceurred at 7:46 o’elock in the morning and while it was not severe, was distinctly noticeable, Weather was fair with a maximum temperature of 41 and a mini- mum of 39. § Daily lessons in Enq 3 i coRDON WORDS OFTEN MISUSED: Do not-say, “This is an actual fact.” Omit ACTUAL.
