Up Against Real Thing
Perhaps we’re too far removed
from the battlefront to feel the
Jar of the big guns and bombs.
Maybe the Axis snubmarine raids
along our Eastern seaboard are a
real kindness on the part of the
enemy, for they are likely to stir us
up to the fact that we are up
against a life and death struggle.
We all know that the
should win because of their vastly
superior resources. But victory pre-
supposes an all-out effort by every
man and woman to bring these su-

will kill more people than a moun- i
