PRESBYTERIAN First—Comer Third and Orange streets. William Crowe, Jr., D. D. minister. Albert Brown, director > X % SURSUM CORDA "LIFT UP YOUR HEARTS” By Wallace I. Wolverton, Ph.D. Chaplain Officer Candidate School The second Sunday in May has become firmly fixed in the secular calendar as Mother’s Day. Let us be candid about the matter. For many it is more a day of peni tence than of celebration. We be come penitent for our lack of ap preciation and hustle off a letter, a telegram or a present in an ef fort to make amends. It would be better, would it not, if we made it a day of celebration and thanks giving and went to the church on that day to give thanks to Al mighty God for the mother who gave us birth? That would be bet ter than sentimental outflowings which betray our neglect. On a train some months ago a rather profane sergeant had been cleaning up a bit in the smoking compartment. He opened his suit case and took out a jar of pickles which he proudly announced his mother had sent him. He offered us some, but as he began to pass the jar around he dropped it. There was real distress in his face as he surveyed the ruin on the compartment floor. We all of fered our sympathy. Later th a t day an elderly man said to me, “I don’t care how rough a man may be, if he thinks a lot of his mother there is good stuff in him.” Let us lift up our hearts and give thanks for good and faithful mothers. 4 of music.

Akers, 27-year old Texas-born daredevil hero of naval warfare in the Philippines, says he’s "just spoiling to get at those Japs again.” The six-foot-two Akers, who res cued President Manuel Quezon at Manila Bay and took him to Min danao, is a member of Lieut. John Bulkeley’s torpedo boat squadron and a veteran of the epic delivery of Gen. Douglas MacArthur from Cor regidor to a Flying Fortress rendez vous on Mindanao. Akers, a graduate of the Univer sity of Texas, makes his home here with Clarence D. Hudson. Modest to the point of bashfulness, he told how he sank a 10,000-ton Jap tanker in Subic Bay. “I guess that was my best job,” he told newsmen. “We had infor mation that several enemy ships were proceeding into Subic Bay. With another boat, I took up my position off the mouth of the bay. Our reconnaissance was wrong, I learned after waiting three hours without seeing anything. ‘‘I didn’t want the night to be a total loss so X proceeded into the bay, with motors muffled. I saw two ships, one just being docked. Through my glasses I made out that she was a lO.OOMon tanker. We crept to within 1,000 yards of her, fired one torpedo, waited five min utes, fired again, and saw the tanker go up in flames. Then w-e headed back to sea, blasting at the shore batteries as we went.” SURVIVORS SPEND 16 DAYS ON SEA (Continued from Pa ge One) small to operate for any length of time without refueling from a mother ship or a land base. When the raider surfaced, he said the undersea craft drew along side the captain’s lifeboat while officers conversed with the cap tain, but Wells was unable to hear what was said. Boats Separated The lifeboats became separated on the first night, and Wells’ boat was forced to sail due south for five successive days because of heavy seas and strong winds. Then followed the five days of calm. “We were swamped twice,” the third mate reported, "once after we were in the boat four hours when caught in cross seas. The second time was two days later in tremendous seas. The air tanks saved us. The first time we were swamped the water was knee deep in the boat. All hands bail ed for 20 minutes.” Crew members said they picked small crabs from drifting sea weed, but during the last seven days water rations were cut to two ounces a day. Seven of the 13 were hospitalized for treatment of swollen feet and two were ill from drinking sea water. Crew members landed herein addition to Wells were Able Sea man Arthur H. Berg, Mobile, Ala.; Fireman Patrick J. Lynch, Phila delphia; Ordinary Seaman Manuel E. Sanchez, Bartow, Fla.; Wiper Anthony J. Katilus, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; Radio Operator Reider Tan gen, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Messman Dorsey Paugh of West Virginia; Third Assistant Engineer Herman P. Elrod, Charleston, S. C.; Mess man Earl M. Jordan of Florida. The home towns of Paugh and Jordan were unavailable. Landed at Cape May were John Davis, William Newhoff, William Besselievre of New York; Eugene H. Dawson, Quincy, Mass.; Rich ard de Cortes, Baltimore; Benson S. Ricker, Copiague, N. Y.; G. C. Reina, Puerto Rico; Charles Rid dle, Baltimore; Lenvell D. Greene, Lake City, Fla., and L.

Today and Tomorrow _ BY WALTER LIPPMANN __ Madagascar and the French The question is whether the op eration in Madagascar can be used by Laval to make France fight for Hitler. We know that he will use it if he can, since he is a doomed man when Hitler falls. • * * His best chance would come, we may reasonably suppose, if there were prolonged resistance in Mad agascar which he could make look like a Franch Tobruk, a French Malta, a French Corregidor. For we must realize that among the French, a people with a great mili tary tradition, there exists the de sire to prove to themselves and to the world that they are still a fighting people. All that is best in the French nation is undoubtedly waiting for the day when they can prove their courage and their prowess against the ancient ene my. But it is also true, as the Syrian campaign last year showed, that among the professional sol diers of France there are some at least who will fight the British or us to vindicate the reputation of the French army. This sentiment among French of ficers is one of the real elements of the French problem. For, of course, it has been the policy of the collaborationists to put in the posts of command—in Syria, in North Africa, at Dakar, in Mada gascar, and in the ships of the fleet—officers who, besides being reactionaries in politics, are pro fessional militarists interested in advancing themselves by fighting on what they believed, when they committed themselves, was the winning side. Obviously the rank and file have no such interest: for them there can be no glory and no profit in fighting to help Hitler stay in France where he loots and starves and oppresses their families. That is why very few real Frenchmen are used in these operations. The fighting is done in the main by colonials, Sen egalese for example, and by sol diers of fortune, and by profes sionals. That surely is a very im portant reason why Hitler and his French agents have not yet solved the problem of how to take over the French navy. The fleet has to be manned by Frenchmen. It can not be operated by Senegalese un der French officers. It must be counted as a possi bility, however, if the resistance in Madagascar were prolonged and spectacular, that then Laval might be able to kindle some feeling in the hearts of many Frenchmen whose pride is deeply wounded by the disaster of 1940, who would grasp at anything, however suici dal for France, which could be made to look heroic and glorious. The defeatists in the French bour geoisie, particularly the industrial ists who do the actual daily col laborating with the Nazis, would be susceptible to almost anything which made them feel less dreary and ignoble. But though a dramatic reverse to the Allies in Madagascar would probably enable Laval to do a lot more to help Hitler, there are no reasons for thinking that even then he could incite the French nation to war against us. The fiasco at Dakar in 1940 and the Syrian cam paign have shown that incidents abroad do not turn the French na tion from their vital interest, which is to expel the Nazis from France itself. That French interest is so much stronger than any other sen timent or prejudice in the hearts of Frenchmen that nothing which Marshal Petain and Admiral Dar lan could say, nothing surely which Laval can say or do, can alter it. Professional soldiers and bureaucrats can be ordered about from Vichy. But the French na tion cannot be made to fight for the conqueror against the libera tor. That being the unalterable and controlling fact in the French situ ation, we may be quite sure that the more strongly we are able to act, the greater will be the French resistance to Laval and to Hitler. We do not have to prove to the French that our victory is the sal vation of France. They know that. What we have to prove to them is that we mean to win the victory and that we can. Vichy officials may be hypocritically indignant about an operation like Madagas car. The only thing the French na tion would seriously object to would be an operation which was not successful enough to prove that the Allies have become much stronger. Therefore, the rule which must guide us In all our operations as they affect the French is to start nothing which we cannot surely finish neatly and thoroughly. Too soon and too little is almost as bad in war, and especially in the pe culiar state of the French empire in this war, as too late and too little. For we must bear in mind that the French are a defeated nation, who, while they intend eventually to reenter the war, do not wish to be defeated a second time by Hitler. They will not fight him openly until they see a good prospect of winning. And, there fore, whether we appear in France itself, or in any part of the French empire, we must come In suffici ent force to act decisively at that point. • * • The question of Martinique, Gua daloupe and French Guiana in this hemisphere is one which we had better leave to the President and his advisers. They alone are in a position to judge the military sig nificance of these territories, and if they have taken, as no doubt they have, all necessary precau tions, there are strong reasons for not pushing them. The strngest of all the reasons is that we must not ever seem to take action against French posses sions, especially if it involves bloodshed, if the action is not clearly related to the war against the Axis. Obviously, Syria was vi tal to the defense of the Middle East. Obviously, Madagascar is vi tal to the global war. Obviously, North Africa and Dakar are im portant in the final decision. The same is true of New Caledonia, in the Pacific, and of the Free French colonies in Africa. No Frenchman can have any rational doubt that operations in all these places are an integral part of the war, and the real test is, therefore, always whether the operations are successful. But in the case of Martinique the relation to the war is not so self-evident, and, therefore, it is the part of wisdom to seek to avoid even the appeal ance of win ning a cheap and inconsequential victory over weak French forces. If, as may well be the case, the Vichy agents should be cleared out of these French colonies in the Western Hemisphere, the diplo matic action should be as well prepared as the military opera tion. 2 -V Dr. Keever Speaks At Exchange Meeting The Rev.
