The fish weighed 15 pounds. The New Y Times offers the following explanation for the oddity: “A flounder is an honest fish. Probably he would like to turn red evi time he is served as sole. He is a little queer, thoug Alone of vertebrates he swims with one side uppermost, not with the back. In youth his eyes, like those of other fish, are on cach side of his head.

He may even scorn protective coloring and paint himself vividly. On the other hand, so many Japanese vessels have been sunk, 50 many Japanese flags dumped in the sea, that a respectable flounder may very well run against one and be imbued with its colors. “The ways of fish are too little known to most of us. They are by no means silent, The trumpet fish toots. The grunts are so called from their vocal expression. The sea drum of Florida cries “Wop, wop, wop!” Yet the tribe has greatly degenerated since Pliny's time. 4 A 2 . 5 | Bennett, then Democratic State [ | A Republican-controlled legisla- | terday from Washington, D. C., in i He tells of a fish like a sea pig drawn ! themselves are enduring. out of the German River Main with teams of oxen, of dolphins catching fish in partnership with a human fisherman and of a catfish that has a stroke at the rising of the dog bark. Since so many fish are “painty,” .why should we be surprised at one who shows the Japanese colors in their inevitable des- tination, under water?" > Indoctrination (Washington Post) The problem of indoctrinating the armed forces with our war aims is bedeviled by the fear that the job might haveé a political slant. But it cannot be balked on that account. Our boys are now engaged in a death grapple with Hitler’s hordes which to be speedily triumphant will require zeal of crusaders no less than fighting ability. Evidently there is no such zeal in our Army. H. R. Knickerbocker, on his return from the Italian front, reports that not one American soldier in a hundred “knows or cares much about what the war is about.” To a lesser extent this is likewise the case among the British. Both of them are fight- ing well, but not as well as the Americans in the Pacific, or the Russians on the Eastern Front, or the Germans generally. The Anglo-American forces are said to think of the war in terms of sport, not in terms of civilization or even of survival. The wonder in these circumstances is not that our troops have not done better, but that they have done so well. For a thirst for sporting war not likely to be maintained when the last ounce of strength has been expended on keeping an offensive fluid and dynamic and the warrior has to draw upon spiritual reserves. Yet there is no lack of orientation courses in the armed forces, abroad as well as at home. The only| complaint we have heard is that there is no conception in the camps of the way that lend-lease has become Perhaps enough hasn’'t been done to educate the men in our armed forces about the nature | of the furor teutonicus which justified our present crusade. Perhaps something of the sort has been If it has, Mr. Knickerbocker’s account What the shows that little success has attended it. The notion antedates n that year a War Reich came into being, an armed | ssociation which aimed at the subjugation of the renvolk. The record is complete enough to be im- ! Such ‘a course would do more than fire the zeal | of our armed forces for the fighting to come. It would | be a sign and portent foy the coming peace. A war waged sportingly is bound fo end in a soft peace and | conspiracy revives again in Germany. German plan- | ners are counting upon such sloth jn‘planning the | next world war. They feel that their present ad-| venture is lost. Ask those who have Investigated our | prison camps, and they will tell you that the officer | prisoners are perfectly ready to admit eventual defeat. | But the acknowledgment has not disturbed their, serenity. For they have the faith that, even though | their present bid for world domination is doomed, Germany will rise again in another generation, once more ready to challenge the world. Such faith is a | mystique that should be made known to our fighting | forces, so that they will insist upon the shattering of ably will be clever and industrious.| an introduction? the innér structure of the War Reich, lest it draw their children into worse horrors of war than they | 408 ey i ¥ [ The following letter was received | by Mr. and Mrs. Gust Wahto yes- ‘gardlng many future political poli- ork | €ntire world into the role of slaves to Germanic her- |cies and the stars presagea crystal- THE DAILY ALASKA D s | HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUNE 29 Hugh J.
