C, under Act of March 3. 1870. NO TIME TO QUIT When the battle is three-fourths won, it is no time to quit. That may sound like a platitude for. of course, no general and no soldier forties the world had a war and all belligerents knew all about pol-, son gas.

Could such a situation arise as to the use of the atomic bomb In some future conflict. It appears to us that it possibly could, unless a power could be absolutely certain that destruc tion would be complete and absolute, inasmuch as the other power would know all about the atom as well. If this status of affairs comes a- bout we will be in much the same fix we have been in for the past four years as far as having our men killed by teh older and more con ventional methods is concerned. For avoiding this, It seems taht the past has proved that about the being too ever thought of retreating on he L , want , fignt.

But what a bout us, There has been a battle going on in our country for 41 years, a battle in which each of us should be par ticipating. It is a battle against a disease tuberculosis. The soldiers in this battle are volunteers who have "signed up" because they want trt corvo hiimanitw Forty-one years ago a group of 1 "rregiaor in tnose momns oii and ask his opinion. One concrete and definite idea as to our future actions would no doubt be forthcom ing. Cr eral. We ran across a comment on this conscription question by a veteran of the first battle of the Philippines the other day. He merely suggested that persons who argue that we are big and untouchable nd will aways be able to build up and win a war after we are in it should find some. e who was at Battaan or Wake or Vets Service Officers To Attend School The first state-wide Veterans Ser- these volunteers, both laymen and physicians, for:red the National Tu berculosis association for the purpose of conquering a disease which at that time was the first cause of death in this country. The mortality rate was 20O per 100,000 population.

O THOUGHTS ABOUT THE FUTURE There has been a lot of talk lately among some of the world's big a bout the atomic bomb- and what it would do to civilization in case there is ever another war. They have apparently concluded to make the "secret" the property of all the nations of the world, and have the hope and belief that the joint or ganization of these nations will be able to control its manufacture and use effectively. . During the twenties there was discussion of the horrors of poison gas and the devastation it could pro- :i , - . uulc ii uea ;n a war. ! ships; the basic legislation confer ring benefits to which veterans or their dependants are entitled, in cluding disability compensation and pension, death compensation, burial allowances, dependency allowances, vocational rehabilitation and educa tion, hospitalization, medical and dental treatment, home, farm and business loans, readjustment allow ance and unemployment compensa tion, and life insurance.
