AERIAL WAR A SECOND FRONT : The ever-pending aerial offensive gainst Axis-held Europe is reaching an in- ensity that compels observers to recognize That the strategy of bombing enemy centers has created a second front. J $ ' These attacks make it ¢leatthat strate- ic bombing will receive a full trial and:that! n effort is being made to: completely <dis:! fuot As industry’ * and ‘destroy “Axis%e-| ‘enses, A ee ee H Already, it is reported that the Ger- mans are not repairing major industrial es- teblishments in the bombing zones, appar- ently transferring them to Southeastern Barope in an effort to escape the bombers. | + During the month of May, the United States Jost 72 bor Sart operating against Europe from Grea’ rithin, and the British fost 228 aircrafti(y 29 . In the previ four months of the year, American’ Raw ere only 85 bomb ers, while BritisttWoxsses were 601. : Thus, in May, the combined air force fasualties were 300, ombers as compared fo 686 in the first fone months of the year. This*indicates. thesigxtent to which the aerial offensive ha¥#@en unleashed.

And you may be sure | that what is true of you applies, with even greater force, to a conscientious newspaper | of the type of The Citizen. | The Citizen strikes and strikes hard to | ! protect thie* interests of the people, of Key sentment,among those persons at whom an | editorial is aimed. Sometimes, as'is at pres ent the case, they form blocs to “get back” | at The Citizen. They resort to what may be | characterized as a boycott, which is a viola- tion of the laws of this country, not to ad- | vertise further in The Citizen, or to discon- | tinue their subscriptions, but The Citizen refuses to budge when it is confident its stand is promotive of the good of the com- munity. io While we lose financially for adhering | to what is right and just, we are apprecia- tive of the commendation of the good peo- ple of the community. In the long run, that commendation, even in dollars and cents, amounts to far more than The Citizen los from 2 disgruntled few, stewing in their | petty spites, for the community’s backing is | good will, and, as.has happened throughout, | this country on many an occasion, good will ; has been considered fa¥ more valuable than | i aterial assets. | But some readers, who demand, “Why | doesn’t The Citizen do this or do that?” | overlook the fact that we take no sides in | purely personal disputes and that we re- | fuse to pull anybody’s chestnuts out of the | fire. When stories of that nature are given | us, we immediately ask, “How about saying you said so?” which draws a burst of “Oh, | no, no, no!” | What a fine thing it would be to hang it on The Citizen! But The Citizen is 64 years of age, and a newspaper, like a man, | who does not acquire some wisdom in that length of time, should “fold up his bed and | steal away.” | The community’s interests are what | | | The Citizen insists on protecting, and its readers should bear in mind that whenever it stands firmly for those interests, it con- flicts, with special interests that always try | to hit back, but their “hitting,” though it attempts to try to force The Citizen to swerve an inch from the path that is right and just and fair. | A place to be avoided: Boss, Wiscon- | The political races in 1944 are already underway, war business notwithstanding. The man on the home front who ex- | pects business to run as usual hasn’t heard | that we are in a war. | The people who read The Citizen sel- | dom realize the amount of work, or the machinery necessary, to print the news. eS | When you see politicians concerned | about tenure you can put it down that they are, trying to get permanent jobs for iriends, | ee j é HI There is novwse:fer: partisans to argue about the relative impartance of the, Army, H Navy and Air Forces.

George Yager, who is {in this country after missionary work in | China. | | The Rey. Yager was in the Kidngsi | area of China. Some of General Doolittle’s | ‘lyers landed close by and were assisted by | the missionaries and Chinese residents, |_| When the Japanese approached, the | missionaries withdrew into the hills some | | twenty miles away, arid, WROHMHSPSRERE OE! the Japanese, moved haytat he-mnission, . They found nothing + Fuction Ard cesolation confronting them? * * | Farms had been completely laid waste. | The whole countryside wreaked of death | | in every home. The few country people | | who stayed, hoping to be allowed to con- | | tinue to work in their fields, had been sav- | | agely tortured and put to death. | The Rev. Yager says that the few vil- | | lagers who managed to escape death told | | stories too brutal and savage to relate. “Just | | one charge was not heard,” he declared, “cannibalism. Outside of that,” he added, | “take your choice and you can’t miss the | i | savage nature of the Japanese army.” | tor THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Chapter 24 raaee at once, Penny felt almost shy with Powell. The general manager of Spot News Pictures, Incorporated, hadn’t been dis- heveled by the wilderness as she and Cleve Rockwell had. He was still the same Powell, immaculate as ever, charming as ever—when he wanted to be—and, as always, so definitely sure of himself. Penny knew, without being told, that his first glimpse of her had been a shock. She was brown as an Indian; thinner, stronger, scarcely resembling the girl he had known but a short week be- fore. She hadn’t used makeup, she remembered suddenly, for days. She hadn’t had time to fuss with her hair. She was torn and soiled, and bumpy with mosquito bites. Her boots were scuffed. Her nose peeled from sunburn. enny laughed. “How do I look, Powell?” She hoped she’d always remem- ber Powell Ward’s expression— it was so blank and unbelieving, as though he actually half-sus- pected that this couldn’t be Penny at all. Then he stepped forward and _took her in his arms. . Poor little Penny,” ‘he ‘said, “what have they done to: you? My heavens, Penny! All you’ve been through. Sure, you're. all right, dear?” He drew her very ¢lose' then, and she couldn’t ‘have answered if she’d wanted to. Cleve, said, swinging hurriedly about, “I'll have to go down and see about the canoe.” Presently. Powell Ward released Penny. “Thank God, you're safe. That means everything to me. I was getting so worried I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t think. I had to start out after you.” “We were all right,” said, not quite truthfully. “Cleve should have known bet- ter,” Powell continued. “I blame him. He should have brought you tight back that morning you slipped away.” “He couldn’t. I refused.” “O# couldn’t he? If I'd been there,”’ declared Powell Penny Penny was perversely amused, just the same. “Why, Powell—regular ‘“cave- man stuff. I’m surprised!” Then?! “Cleve did try to stop me. You'll have to be;fair about this, darking. I was a blazing little rebel that morning. I was simply bound to have my own way.” “You remember I warned you what it would mean?” “Yes, of course.” eek “I don’t want to gloat ovet thé fact that everything turned out just about as I expected — even worse, as a matttr of fact. I don’t want to be unkind, Penny. I won’t even reprimand Cleve. I’m too happy to know you're safe.” “That's nice of you, Powell.” He put an arm about her and led her over to a fallen log. He ‘drew her down beside him ten- derly. “T might have lost you,” he said. “It could easily have happened. Neither you nor Cleve is a match for this wilderness. The odds were all against you.” Penny nodded. “It’s pitiless, she —_ “But I like it. I’m glad I set out.” ER fiance was amazed. “Why —why, Penny.,,Even Cleve admitted it was a mistake. You missed Bill, endured 'eyéry hard- ship, experienced misfortune after misfortune, and what wasv gained in the end?” He paused;;them added emphatically. “Absolutely nothing.” aie Penny said, “Oh, I wouldn’t say that.” She smiled. “That’s not quite true, Powell.” “But it is, Penny.” _ “No,” answered Penny, feeling just a little triumphant, “you’re wrong there. We missed Bill, Pll admit. Cleve got shot and—and a lot of unpleasant things hap- pened. But—we have the films.” Powell sprang to his feet. “What!” “We have them or, rather, I have them,” Penny said. “Look over in my pack there, Powell. ..- . I'm too tired. Those Alcan shots. Bill's.” Powell leaped forward, almost clawing things out of her pack in his eagerness. Then, suddenly, grimly, “I'd have taken you out of that canoe forcibly and carried | fi you back to Baird’s Stopping Place.” Powell meant what he said, but! his there they were—three rolls of’ im from Bill Vance’s camera.
