Its 56 pages are replete with pleteres of mass inductions of the new vet- evans, and of World War II Legionnaires whe already have achieved positions of leadership in post, county, district and de- partment organizations. Shown also are many of the Legion’s clubhouses throughout the nation. Thou- ends of Legion posts are now expanding thelr homes te provide adequate facilities for the 400,000 World War II veterans al- ready sumbered. in the Legion’s record- king 1945 membership expected to ex- eved 1,700,000 by September. Hwery loyal American should find grati- Hieation in the statements of the World War Tl leaders of the Legion explaining why they joined the organization. These state- mente show the fighting men and women of thie war are coming home imbued with the same patriotic fervor that inspired the founders of the Legion in 1919, It is a fervor that has its roots in an increased ap- preeiation of America and its blessings and i & new determination to continue to serve our communities, states and nation to pre- serve these blessings. That is the finest guarantee this na- ean have that the veterans of this war will their service to God and Cometry with their uniforms; that they will throw their energies and battle -tested courage to the solution of the problems of that they will stand as a living bul- of our free institutions for which they enght even as World War I Legionnaires tought, and in the defense of which many { their comrades gave their lives.

THE CRY FOR PEACE? : ' And now comes General Stilwell (“Vinegar Joe”). with a statement that probably it will require two years to knock out the Japs. - While we are aware that General Stil- well is considered among the foremost American experts. on. Asiatic affairs, yet his estimate of the time it will take to crush |. the Japs is purely a guess, For that matter, it may require more than two years, but, ‘|who knows, as a certainty, that the Japs will not collapse in two months? In Key West The Citizen has heard some say that the Japs may still be fight- ing us, by 1949, a3 farmer Ambassador to Japan Grew said shortly after our en- trance into the war, and we have heard other Key Westers assert that the Japs will have called quits before the end of this year. General Stilwell, from a military view- point, knows what he is talking about, but he has failed to consider the human or psychological element that enters into a war, as well as everything else in life. Jap psychology is queer to us; it is hard: for us to understand how, they can regard their emperor as something of a god, when he looks. like.a weakling to us. While looks are deceiving, yet the Mikado’s. can’t de- ceive us, for he has not done anything in any-line-of endeavor-that-takes him out of the_general run of ordinary men. * Andy we, , know positiyely he is a man, bist. as aN I 80) as. any of hf seat indus- trialists or militarists, and! e know too, despite their peculiar psychology, that the Jap leaders realize even now, that they are whipped, the only question remaining is: How far will they permit their country to be blasted into rubble and their civilians killed before they cry out for peace? The professional atheist tells nobody anything new when he asserts that religion is sometimes operated as a racket. WORLD'S BEST SOLDIERS. Take a cobblestone from every walk of life and you'll have the U. S. Infantry, Who is this Infantryman, this mud- splattered, battle-eager soldier who will be honored at Infantry Day exercises at Camp Blanding’s Infantry Replacement Training Center on June 15? He’s nearly everything. He’s. a pro- duction manager, a medical student, a tur- ret lathe operator, a glass blower, a bar tender, He was rich and poor and middle clags. He was, as a civilian, good and bad and average, As a soldier, an Infantryman, he’s not all of these things. He’s just one of them. Ask the Germans or the Japs. They’ll tell you. He’s good. It takes a lot to make a soldier out of a civilian, no matter what his background. But that’s another story, the story of the long, arduous hours of training at Camp Blnading, largest Infantry Replacement Training Center in the nation. The fact that the background is so varied is a story in itself. The Army doesn’t like to use names. But a glance through the classiifeation rec- ords of one training company ip the IRTC will convinge you that theefn intry is as meéatstéw/ SE In rapid suecession the fecarde reveal the presence in the company. of a 27-year- old buttow’catter, @ pre-medical student, an armed guard, a truck driyer with three chil- dren, an ex-policeman, a painter, a statis- tical clerk, an advertising manager, a for- mer railroad conductor. Some of the jabs held by the Infantry trainees were not of the ordinary garden variety. One of them spent a lifetime on merchant ships sailing around the world. Another is a professional ice skater, a na- tive of Canada who has performed on the frozen rinks all his life. One man listed his profession as “glass blower.” glass manufacturer blowing fine pieces of | glassware. There are such strange buddies as bank cashiers and automobile mechan- ics’ helpers.
