Editor _ . _ c - 1 i * f y North Carolina wk { PRESS ASSOCIATION^) , t a . I J After a rationing of sugar, victory will be sweet. J America is going to begin getting up early in the morning on February 9, when we change to war time. Maybe we will catch some worms. The people of the Land of the Rising Sun have no idea how much Americans enjoy a beautiful sunset, j Yes, Mabel, they are called doughboys because ( they get $21 a month, which puts them in the dough, j Words beginning with Mac are unlucky for the Japanese. For instance, there are MacArthur and 5 Macassar. ' < Midway Island, attacked on December 7, still * holds out against the Japanese. Some day, when the 1 war is over, that will be another epic chapter in the ( history or America, one that will swell the pride of 1 every school boy in his country, when he reads it. j Wounded American soldiers aver that the hos- ( pital ship carrying them and nurses to an Australian 1 port was bombed nine times in one day by Japanese ^ planes that came over "like swarms of flies". Oh, well, when the war is over the people trying to smooth over the feelings of people will be telling us that the atroc- ^ ity stories were not true this time, either. All the ] while we knew that those told in World War No. 1 were true. We note that the press associations invariably < spell it Macassar, but the National Geographic So- < ciety, and all atlases we have consulted give it Makassar, while Webster's unabridged dictionary has it either way, with the preference on the mak way of spelling. Also, we note that radio commentators pronounce it Macassar with the accent on the last syllable; but Webster's says it is pronounced Mak-as-sar, with the accent where we would naturally put it, on the middle syllable. So, we are going to spell it with the k instead of the c, and pronounce it just like we did in the first place. You can take your choice. i * WHERE IS THE NAVY? TTno Tcmanpep cmH t.ViP "wisp tnivs" in this COUn A 1AV w M^/MlAAVUV VAAV w Q ?? ^ ? ? try have now received the answer to their question: "Where is the navy?" We don't laiow which has been worrying the most about it; but striking with fury in the Strait of Makassar, and then at the Japanese bases in the Pacific, at both of which places great havoc was wrought on Jap ships, planes, and bases, the Asiatic Fleet and the Pacific Fleet have let the world know that the American navy is definitely on the job in the Pacific and the waters surrounding the Indies. This is but a taste of what the Japanese can expect, when the Americans really get in action, when sufficient materials, ships and machines have been assembled to blast the "Rising Sun" out of the heavens, so that the Forty-eight Stars may shine the brighter. Navy, army, marines, airforce, coordinated in a mighty effort, and supplied with the necessary munitions, will brook no denial when they begin knockIing at the gates of Tokyo. It appears that there is no longer room in the skies for both the "Rising Sun" and for the "Stars of Liberty". | * A WAR OF MINDS This war as perhaps no other is being fought out in the minds of the peoples of the world. Never before was straight thinking more important than now. Never before were so many different elements trying to confuse the minds of men and women. This kind of warfare, successfully waged, had more to do with the collapse of France than did the mechanized m armies of the Nazis. For this reason it is imperative that the people "..' I v I i' i i THE JACKSON COUNTY JOURN VX f this country retain and hold fast to a firm faith in hemselves, in their government, and in their allies. It is equally imperative that our allies have a firm aith in us, in the integrity of our intentions, and in ur ability to win. Faith generates faith, just as disrust generates distrust. Each of us should first have his own thinking lear, and keep ever before us the fact that we are ighting for our very right to exist, for-every one of I he liberties that are ours. That being true, we must ind will fight through to final victory, regardless of he cost. For there is no price too great to pay for liberty. We must never waver in our conviction that America is strong enough to assemble all the materials that are necessary, to manufacture all the >hips and planes, and guns and munitions that will -l .11 tviw fv?Qf Tiriii he needed 3e required, io tram an wic uitix uxx?,w r ;o blast , those who would encompass our undoing :rom the seas and the air and the earth. That! conaction held by the people of America will generate jonfidence in us among the peoples of Asia and Africa, Surope and the Indies. It will offset the effect of the iemporary Japanese victories in the orient; and after ill, the greatest danger that has arisen by reason of ,hose temporary victories is in the loss of prestige in ;he oriental mind. But, we must not be too confident. We must not lide from ourselves the very present dangers to which ve are exposed, the magnitude cJf the task that lies jefore us, or the cost that victory may entail. We must lot expect too much too quick. The only way to make ihorter this war is through the mobilization of all ;he resources of this country in preparation for a ong and a hard war. THE YANKS ARE COMING Nearly a billion and a half leaflets, prepared in \merica, telling of the determined purpose of this country to win this war and drive Hitlerism back into ;he hell from which it sprang, have been scattered >ver parts of occupied France by the Royal Air Force. J VIost of these have been dropped in Brittany and | ^ Normandy. Thncp Jirp the seacoast provinces of France that i I J.11VUV W* V/ saw the first doughboys who came back in 1917. They ? saw thousands upon thousands of those American c] soldiers as the tide of doughboys grew. American w soldiers were quartered in their villages, in their s< towns, in their lovely countryside. They know the Joughboys. They know that the armies of the Kaiser b ivere hurled back soon after those Americans got into 0 action. They know what kind of people we are. They 0 know that we were the heralds of victory, nearly a d quarter of a century ago. They are being told by leaf- fi lets rained from skies, that the Yanks are coming back. For weary months and years, the Britons and the Normans have been held in the clutch of the despised huns. They have been helpless and afraid, yet cherishing the hope of liberty. Now, they think they can see the first rays of the sunrise. The Yanks are coming back. We can see old men, little children, peasant women, look toward the heavens and watch the leaflets come fluttering down to earth, to be surreptitiously gathered up and concealed, and then, in the dead hours of the night, taken from hiding places and passed from hand to hand, as eager eyes read: "The Yanks are coming back". From mouth to mouth the message is carried throughout the oppressed land.. Hope again rides high within the weary hearts. Their friends of a quarter of a century ago are coming back. The Stars and Stripes will again lead the vanguard of the Sons of Liberty in the fight against those who would trample under iron feet the precious freedoms of mankind. j ! Tales are told to the younger people by the men and women who knew us, back in '17, '18, and '19 of the friendly young men from America who sang and ' " 1-i- J nrifh fhp RritrtTlS I laughed ana iougni anu natci III^JCU V* 11/11 V11V *-?? ???. ?

The day of the wrath of God against those who desecrate His image and abuse His little children is drawing on apace. From across the seas the message comes. "The Yanks are coming, the Yanks are Coming", 'Mademoiselle from Armentiers", "Madelon, MadeIon, Madelon". "The Yanks are Coming. Let Marseilles again mark the time of marching feet toward Paris. Let Liberty, Equality, Fraternity again become the shibboleth of Frenchmen. Revive the drooping fleur de lis. Let the tri-color again take the gentle breeze.

I j The day of liberation is at hand. "The Yanks are coming back!" j . There is no reason for minimizing the gravity of the situation of America and her allies in the orient. Despite heroic efforts of MacArthur and his valiant men, despite the striking power of the American and Dutch navies in the Strait of Makassar, the Japanese drive moves on. Singapore is in peril, Rangoon is in imminent danger, and the East Indies positions become more perilous day by day. * r. i i 1 . " 1 =agss== * 4 * .
