ARMCHAIR GENERALS
Today's Civilian military strategists
remind us of how one Roman leader, Lucius
Aemilius Paulus, took care of such
"Fireside Warriors" back in 1(>8 B. C.
Before starting on a campaign against tbe
Macedonians, he made the following proclamation
:
"If any one thinks himself qualified
to give advice respecting the war which I
am to conduct . . . let him come with me
into Macedonia. He shall be furnished
with a ship, a horse, a tent; even his traveling
charges will be defrayed. But if he
thinks this is too much trouble and prefers
the repose of a city life to, the toils ot war,
let him not, on land, assume'the office of
a pilot . . . we tfhall pay no attention to any
councils but such as shall be framed within
our camp."
THIS IS MY AMERICA
By Lieut. Col. William A. Brewer
This is my land, this is .America.
Iler waters and her soil have nourished
rpe, her air I have breathed, her trees
and her hills have sheltered and inspired
me.
I am one with her, her grasses and her
minerals are flesh of my flesh and bone of
my bone, and the sweet flesh of my ancestors
has nourished her, and the blood of
my ancestors, fighting to keep her free,
has watered her broad acres.
I am all hoi's and she is all mine.
Her flag is my flag, in it is not just
what I see, but what I am, when I look at
her flag 1 see only bunting and colors, but
when 1 look into her flag I see wonderful
things.
1 see the breath of her, from the
spume rising where rollers of the Atlantic
sweep into the rocks of Maine to the
Yucca Bells ringing vespers on the hills
hanging over San Diego.
I see the height of her, white spires
rising through New England elms, and a
pueblo throned on a red rock mesa in NewMexico,
and the clouded summits of Shasta
and of Washington.
I see the depth of her, the carved
dhasms of the mots of the skyscrapers of
Manhattan, antflhe root cellar under the
wod shacks on the prairies of Dakota, and
the sweating rock a mile down in the
Argonaut Mine a.t Jackson.
I see the blue waters of Pend Oreille,
and the brown waters of the Missouri at
St. Charles, and the wrhite waters of Yosemite,
and the red waters of the Tennessee,
and the green waters of the Potomac, and
all that they bring to the land, and to the
people, and all that they take away.
Waking, I hear the birdsongs in Wisconsin
elms, and drifting off to sleep I hear
the long-tailed chat Whistling at the moon
above the black deeps of Tahoe, and the
sea-mew piping the sun down beyond the
Golden Gato*I
see the age of her. too, the Dinosaur
tracks in the stone in the prison yard at
('arson City, the ferns imbedded in coal
in the rich black heart of Pennsylvania,
the ring upon ring storying splendor in the
redwoods in the Trinity Forest, and. more
recently, the traces of the Indians at
Canandaigua and El Reno, the westward
t 1 ?- * ' ? ? < immmm
wheel tracks of the 49'ers, and the beacons
of the sky-paths of the airliners.
All these I see wthen I loo|< into the
flag, and in it. too. 1 see the men and women,
my kind of men and women, their
roots deep in old cultures by which they
won their way to the light, ami their heads
high as they stand up and face the light *
and know that it is good.
I see the children, with the sweet soft
faces on which no story yet is written, and
the old people with tnoir faces on whidh
are written mysteries and heroic poems j
I see the pageant of America's pepple,
led by the lordly and colorful ones, but
mostly Joe and Mary and Tom and Harry
and Beth, the ones the papers don't write
about, the ones that never are told about
in the Histories, because they just live and
work and give their hearts' warmth to
keep America alive.
I see the starry few, Abe of Springfield
and Tom Jefferson and Teddy and
Steve Decatur, the duelling man, and old
Andy Jackson, puckery and fresh to the
taste as a mountain plum, and Henry
Thoreau bringing the world into the confines
of WaJden Pond.
I see these people and these things
as a part of the flag ?and of the land, as
I am a part of the flag and of the land, and
1 see the land and the flag as part of them,
as the flag and land are a part of me.
I see America ami I hear America, I
hear the music of America.
I hear the winds and clouds making
a great harp of the heart, and 1 hear the
melody of America played on that harp.
The mountains bow and the hills leap at ^
the melody which no words can tell.
I hear America in song and the song/is
good, the voices of the waters and ^he
winds and the riveting machines and the
saws, the voices of the men and women
singing, t'he men singing the good spirits
in their hearts after their work, and the
women singing to their children while they
put them to sleep.
I hear America in song and the song
is good, I see America in the light and the
light is good. I touch America, the warm,
rich soil of America, and the red soil, and
1 lie sandy soil, and the loamy soil, and the
soil is good.
This is my America, and these are my
people and these are my heartstrings on
which the song is played, they are mine
and I am theirs.
Editor's Note: American citizens are
asked to finance the greatest Government
bond transaction in our history during the
$ 1 8,000,000,000 second War Loan this
month. Whatever the sacrifices entailed,
this newspaper knows this unprecedented
War Bond Campaign will be a success, for
every real American citizen feels as Col.
Brewer feels. Read "This Is My America" .

CONFOUNDING ITS ENEMIES
For the past decade promoters of socialized
power in the United States have
used every artifice to prove that the country
faced a power shortage in the "immediate
future," as justification for their program
to spend unlimited millio"ns of public
funds for government-owned power developments.
Well, the "serious" power shortage
never occurred. In the face of the nation's
greatest emergency, the private electric industry
"has met the demand for power in
every instance, not only the abnormal loads
for war industry, but the requirements of
the home, the farm and all other civilian
activities.
This is no stroke of luck, it is in line
with the record of this industry since its
inception. Its ability to meet and keep
ahead of wartime and civilian requirements
is not limited to any one area, but
is universal throughout the country because
Class One utility systems are furnishing
85 per cent of the power demands of
the cttTTfTtr^ and are maintaining a constructive
program which assures a dependable
reserve well ahead of demand.
