Eisenhower (Each week In thia space will be presented a picture and word portrait of someone whose name la news.) • When blue-eyed, youngish (52) Lieut. Gen. Dwight David Eisenhower, as the ' newly appointed commander of the Ameri can forces in the European Theater of Op erations, arrived in London last June 24 he found an AEF composed of willing but inexperienced men untrained in combat tactics. • But General Eisenhower, one of the first to talk of a second front, had been preparing for it ever since he emerged from the last war a lieutenant colonel in the tank corps. A student of military his tory and tactics, he is a specialist in mech anized warfare. ~ m " r " J " .» - r ... V> ‘ • General Eisenhower was bom in Tex as, grew up in Kansas, went to West Point. He was aide to Gen. Douglas MacArthur when the latter was chief of staff. Five days after Pearl Harbor he was made chief of the War Plans division (later re named the Operations division) of the gc eral staff, ^ ~ ABOVE ^HULLABALOO By LYTLE HULL A DANGER ZONE ■«: ij.- We are—at the moment of this writing—approaching one of those danger zones of the kind which has robbed so many armies of vic tory in the long tragic history of warfare. It is the danger zone of over-confidence, big talk and con ceit. One of those periods in which back-stage publicity warriors lull us into dreams of false security with loud mouthed boastings a- bout the speed with which the craven enemy is running before our invincible armies. Now the American soldier is the best soldier in the world. Why this is so is a long story; but his tory has proved it. However he is not invincible. He can be shot, and killed and outflanked, and forced to surrender, just as can any other soldier. Given an even chance, however, he will work his way out on top; given only half a chance, he won’t. The average American com mander is the equal and possibly the superior of the average foreign commander, provided he is famil iar with the territory over which he is fighting and with various conditions therein which may af fect his plans of campaign. To have an even chance against an efficient enemy, an army must be well manned, ’well fed, well clothed, and well supplied with all the essential armaments. To provide these necessities is the jdi> of the governments of the nations at war. But the managers of tiles'? governments can’t run arouri l picking up scrap-iron and old rub ber tires; nor can they raise corn and oats and the required food stuffs; nor can they lend tlie gov ernment the necessary finances out of their own pockets; nor 'rais'' sheep to provide wool for soldier.,’ clothing; nor can they be the men to carry the guns. The People must do all these chores, and th? People will only exert their lull energies if they are kept aware • £ the constant danger which neve.' ceases in war until the Peas? Treaties are signed. At the moment of this writing “things are looking up” for our side. This is the “danger period” during which we are very apt to relax. But if we want to con tinue this favorable turn we must redouble our efforts. We must pu l in our belts to the last notch; we must dig deeper into our re sources for money to buy more War Bonds; we must hunt mor? “scrap”; save more fuel oil and gasoline. We must not relax—o: the tide will turn again arid months of effort, money, blood and sweat will have been wasted. The enemy will redouble his ef forts if conditions are going dU gainst him. We must redoubt ours. Wars are won and lost on these very issues. ta. Miss Daisy Parks from Augusta was a recent visitor in the home of Mrs. G. E. Langley.
