The volume was received Satur day by the Wilmington Public li brary. Commander Dickinson, who has acquitted himself heroically at Pearl Harbor, the Gilbert and Mar shall islands, and Midway, holds the Navy Cross, the Gold Star in j lieu of the second Navy Cross, and a second Gold Star in lieu of the third Navy Cross. In explaining Commander Dick bison's work at Pearl Harbor, Thomas has pictured him as the lone pilot in the sky when the Jap anese staged their first attack on the United States fleet. The fear lessness with which he handled his little observer nlane in the midst .,f unceasing barrage by the enemy is bared in Thomas' most colorful language. The author concludes his recital of Commander Dickinson’s accom plishments: "After starting out as first on the list at Pearl Harbor. Dickinson continued so well that his record will be taken as pre senting a full range of flying hero ism in the Pacific war.” Described as "a pageant of cour age of American fighting men,” Thomas’ volume has been issued by the Winston Publishing com pany; the price is two dollars.

So—a year and a half after tht j Armistice the United States was still technically at war with Ger many. In May, 1920. Congress pass ed a joint resolution declaring hos tilities at an end. And, meanwhile, of course, the league was in existence. By Marcl 10, 1920, thirty-three nations had joined; all which had been invited, except this country, which nevet joined. By this time also, the United States was conducting a presiden tial campaign. “Back to normal cy” was the day’s magic phrase. The republicans nominated Sen Warren G. Harding, of Ohio, anc the democrats, Gov. Cox, of Ohio. Harding won by a landslide. Finally, in August. 1921, nearly three years after the Armistice, this country signed separate peace treaties with Germany, Austria, and Hungary. The league began to die in the early 30’s, and despite Americar offers to aid in curbing Japanese aggression, was only a shell wher ic made a few gestures agains Mussolini’s plans in Africa in 1935 and in September, 1939, the work war was resumed. -V Labrador contains no poisonous {snakes. \ HALIFAX SPEAKS i AT DUKE DEC. 2 Full Program Arranged For British Envoy Dur ing Visit To State DURHAM, Nov. 20— Ufi —Vis count Halifax, British ambassa dor to the United States, who is to speak at Duke University on the evening of Dec. 2, will find a busy schedule awaiting him when he ai rives in the state for his address here.

The Germans were said to have used fresh forces in their nine futile counter-attacks in the Rechit sa area, and the war bulletin added that the Russians, in their counter-blow, captured two popu lated places. Twenty-four German tanks and two armored cars were disabled or destroyed in this fight Russian troops captured a dis trict center in their advance in the lower Pripet river area west of Chernigov and wiped out a bat talion of enemy infantry. The Germans, seeking to deve lop the recapture of 7hitomir, the greatest Russian setback of the 1943 campaign, obviously were throwing terrific strength into the effort, and the bulletin’s reference to this fighting as being in “the area of Korostyshev” may indicate the Nazis have re-won consider able territory east of Zhitomir.
