How ever, this time it’s fighting the Ger mans and the Japs — not the “Yankees.” That part of the Con federacy is the city of Selma, Ala. Back in 1864 when Union Gen. William T. Sherman started his fa mous “march to the sea,” he sent the leader of his cavalry, Gen. James Harrison Wilson, on a raid into Ala bama to destroy stores and harry the horsemen of Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest. In the spring of 1865 Wilson’s troopers started for Selma, then the Confed eracy’s principal storehouse for mu nitions. He was confronted by For rest’s forces but they were too small to hold back the bluecoats. On April 1, 1865, before the city fell to the invaders, the Confeder ates rounded up all the heavy ord nance, shipyard equipment and other materiel they could find and dumped it from a high bluff into the Alabama river. There it lay, almost forgot ten, for more than 70 years until a party of high school boys, working on a history project, dug up a 700- pound cannon. So when Uncle Sam sent out his nation-wide call for scrap metals, the citizens of Selma remem bered the cache of iron and brass and steel in the bottom of the river. They dug up aged and yellowed maps which marked the location of this store of metals and started sal vage operations. Already several thousand pounds of scrap have been recovered and soon, somewhere in the Pacific, or possibly in the Medi terranean theater of operations, the Japs or the Germans will receive the “last shot of the Confederacy.” The fighting around Selma back in 1865 brought into conflict two of the outstanding cavalry leaders of the Civil war. Of the two Na than Bedford For rest was undoubt edly the greater. Most Americans remember him because of the formula for win ning battles that is so often attrib uted to him “Git thar fust with the mostest men.” Whether Forrest ever said it in just that way is doubtful, but the fact re mains that he was one of the most successful cavalry leaders in Ameri can history. Gen. Robert E. Lee had a great leader of mounted men with his forces—the dashing “Jeb” Stuart. But at Appomattox, when somebody asked Lee who was the greatest sol dier in his command, he answered instantly “A man I have never seen, sir. His name is Forrest.” Lee’s opinion of Forrest was confirmed by General Sherman, who fought against him during the Western campaigns. Although Wilson had no such spec tacular career as Forrest’s, he was a soldier of out standing ability, as proved by the fact that he rose from second lieu tenant to major- general in four years. Soon after the outbreak of the Civil war he became a first lieutenant and fought at the bat tles of South Mountain and Antietam. General Forrest General Wilson Promoted to lieutenant-colonel In 1862, Wilson became inspector-gen eral of the Army of the Tennessee in 1863. Later that year he was ad vanced to brigadier-general. Wilson’s big chance came late in 1864 when he was assigned to the command of the cavalry corps of the Military Division of the Mississippi. He organized BP army of 15,000 cav alrymen and this force contributed largely to the success of the armies in the West under Generals Thomas and Sherman, particularly in the capture of Selma and Montgomery, Ala., and Columbus and Macon, Ga. In 28 days Wilson captured five forti fied cities, 23 stands of colors, 288 guns and 6,820 prisoners. It was a brilliant record but he is principally remembered as being the Union gen eral whose troops captured one par ticular individual among those 6,000 prisoners. That individual was Jef ferson Davis, president of the Con federacy. Perhaps the most brilliant achievement of Forrest was the way in which he covered the retreat of General Hood after that luckless Confederate officer had been defeat ed by General Thomas at the Battle of Nashville. With a force of 5,000, Forrest held off the pursuit of Thom as’ 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 infan try for 35 terrible days un Ml Hood’s army was safely across the Ten nessee river into Alabama. During this time Forrest killed and cap tured 5,000 of the Federals and armed and fed his men at the ex pense of the enemy besides! WHO’S NEWS This Week By Lemuel F. Parton Consolidated Features.—WNU Release. XT EW YORK.—That brief dispatch from Chile reporting that Ber lin had recalled Ambassador Wil helm Freiherr von Schoen is some- Von Schoen Recall ^^f as uaw May Mean Chilean in the wind c • . .1 All- ot World Swing to the Allies w a r p 0 1 i. tics. Baron Von Schoen has been so long and so deeply intrenched in Latin-American intrigue and so suc cessful in covering his tracks and staying on the job that this four- line news item may well indicate a powerful Chilean swing to the Allied Nations. His organization of subversion in Chile has been exposed and attacked time and again with out so much as jolting the bar on’s monocle. He has been most elaborately wired in, not only with double-dealing politicians but with a hemisphere complex of industrial and financial inter ests and German-based cartels. If it is true that they finally have ent him loose from these moorings it surely means that some of the scaliest and tough est Axis tentacles in those parts have been severed. His family is an old, established firm in international political con spiracy, in war and peace. His fa ther, the late Baron Albrecht, circu lated in Europe before the start of the first World war, trying to soften up the opposition, and Baron Wil helm carried on over here in the Mexican machinations which helped get us in the war. He did this so smoothly that a few post-war years passed before his role, as an aide to Count Bemstorff, was understood and his activities fully appraised. In 1914, he arrived in Wash ington, after several years as secretary of the German em bassy in Japan. In an inter view, which seemed to have been carefully premeditated, be told of Japan’s bitter hatred of the United States, and her de termination to annihUate ns, sooner or later. The interview stirred up much angry discus sion and brought the baron a sharp reprimand from President Wilson, with a hint that the state ments had been intended to pro mote enmity. He was married in 1916 to an American girl, highly placed social ly, and, as secretary to the em bassy, achieved deep penetration in the capital salon diplomacy at a time when our entry into the war was still in the balance. He re turned to Germany, after the failure of the Mexican conspiracy and lit tle was heard of him until the early days of the Hitler ascendancy. ft A S THE army and navy propose to take over the colleges, their plan to teach the young how to shoot meets considerable academic oppo- „ . n . sition. Presi- Prexies Disagree dents Wris _ On Army, Navy ton of Brown . . „ and Dodds Taking Colleges 0 f Princeton are in agreement, but other prexies throughout the country register dis sent on varying grounds. The main base of opposition is that liberal arts education and small colleges will be.casualties. Dr. W. H. Cowley, president of Hamilton college, an active ally of the armed forces in col legiate mobilization in the past, finds the plan “quite inade quate.” His is a college of about 450 students, and he has been a goal-keeper among college pres idents against drives threatening the humanities and liberal arts in the colleges. As an educator, he has opposed early and ex treme specialization and has stressed the importance of edu cating the “whole man.” With this strong conviction, he be lieved colleges, by proper adapta tion in teaching, could help meet the demands for youth in the war and at the same time hold their ancient cultural franchise. A year ago, he circularized 200 upperclassmen of his college with a letter urging them to join the navy and has served as a member of the educational commit tee working with the army and navy. He says this committee op posed the new plan, about a month ago, without success. Dr. Cowley became president of Hamilton in 1938, at the age of 39. As an expert and au thority on vocational guidance, and in educational research, he has concluded that an organized and adequate personality, and the ability to think must take precedence over special skills. If boys off to war can somehow cram a little sound education into their duffle bags, he thinks it will be all to the good—or, more pre cisely, he thinks it is urgently im portant that they do so. He is the most modern of educators, but has opposed such innovations as those of Dr. Hutchins and Stringfellow Barr, which would reduce the col lege course to two years. When he was graduated from Dartmouth, he was voted the “most likely to succeed.” He took his Ph. D. degree at the University of Chicago. RIGHT OF WAT Little Lunches Flatter Wartime Menus (See Recipes Below) Victory Lunches Mid-day meals with that go-and- get-it spirit are those that are prop erly balanced, and have plenty of eye-appeal. The days are gone when you can make a quick dash to the cor ner grocery and bring home lamb chops to broil quickly. Gone, too, are days when you had loads of left overs from yesterday’s roast. But, homemakers, you need not be foiled, rather let your ingenuity devise new ways of getting nutri tion requirements into your menus. Use protein foods like peas, beans, eggs, and vitamin B1 foods like ce reals as extenders to make up for meat. Your New Year victory menu parade starts off with a meat loaf “stretched” with oatmeal.

Creamy Cheese Sauce. 2 tablespoons butter or margarine Lynn Says: Cans and.Jars: You will have noticed that your grocery shelves present a different picture than in the past. Instead of all food being put up in cans, some food has been preserved in glass. In those foods placed in cans, the government has decreed three different sized cans. A number two sized can, one of the standard sizes yields 2 >4 cups and will serve four to five people. The number 294 sized can averages 394 cups and feeds six people. Largest food can is number 10, usually used by institutions and restaurants. This large size is not usually practical for a fam ily of less than eight since it yields 12 cups and would last for at least two meals. A few additional sized cans are allowed in the case of canned meats, fish, baby food, and citrus juices.
