That's why the United States War Department said Jungle figh- ters have taken to calling their officers by their first names. Accounts from men and officers on Bougainville Island In the Solo- mons Indicate that formalities of military life have completely disappeared In jungle warfare. A private may address his commanding officer as Charlie or Bob. Officers get code namra or nicknames. Japanese snipers are adept at picking off the of- ficers. So the officer wears no Insignia. The enemy listens carefully said the men. Snipers a few hundred yards from a regimental supply dump listened to the calls going out from a field telephone. Most of the calls were for "Hipp," which was the name, given to a Major who was a supply officer. During the night tho men- said, the Japs would call out: "Hipp, you're wanted on the telephone" IT'S BETTER IT'S BUCKLEY'S THAT'S WHY Gibraltar's Apes Are Disappearing It IB reported from Gibraltar that British Commandos have been put on the trail of the Rock's famous colony of monkeys which have begun to disappear. It was suspected that Axis agents were poisoning the apes In order to upset the local popu- , latlon who believe the legend that when the monkeys disappear the British will leave Gibraltar. The London Daily Mail said the Commandos, led by a British of- ficer whose title Is "officer In charge of apes," had been sent out with strict instructions to clamber over every part of the rock in search of the missing monkeys and that at the same time ape "reinforcements" were being rushed to Gilbraltar by sea and air from Africa.

BLACK DAWN VICTOR ROSSEAU CHAPTER XIII SYNOPSIS Dave Bruce, out of a job, ar- rives at Wilbur Ferris' Croat- Bar rsnch. Curran. the foreman, promises him job If he can break a horse called Black Dawn. When he succeeds, he discovers Currsn expected the horse to kill him. A girl named Lois rides up, angry with Dave for breaking "her" horse. She refuses to speak to Dave even when he uses his avings to pay off the mortgage on the small ranch she shares with her foster father, man named Hooker. When Hooker la killed by a shot fired through the window, Lois has Dave arrested for murder. Encouraged by Cur- ran, the local people have broken Into the jail and dragged Dave to a tree where they are going to hang him. Among the crowd Dave sees Lois. Disheveled, the clothes almost torn from the upper part of hit body, Dave was thrust forward. "Here y'are, Miss Lois," shout- ed Curran exultantly. "Here's the measly skunk who killed yore dad, A mau leaped (roin a horse's back and led It forward. Dave knew the procedure. The horee would be driven from beneath him, and he would be left swing- Ing the most painful form of banging, since It took a man per- haps a full half-minute before he became unconscious. But Lois drove her horse for- ward. "Let him rld Black Dawn," she cried. "He broke him, didn't he?" Curran burst into a roar of laughter. "That's sure smart of yuh. Miss Lois," he cried. "Yeah, he broke Black Dawn, and Black Dawn's goln" to break him by the neck!" * * Lois bent forward and whispered In the stallion's ear, then slipped to the ground. "Git him up, fel- lers," chortled Curran. "Bruce, yore race Is run, and yo're goln' to do some real fancy high-steppin' tangos. Say, ain't yuh got no hal- ter on that hawsg, Miss Lois?" he continued. "He doesi't need a halter. He'll stand till I give the word to go." Curran roared with glee. "That's -Yuh ain't got nothing to say?" sneered Curran. and yo're goin' to have the honor of touchln' him off, accordln' to custom." Dave straightened himself and looked straight into the girl's face. Me didn't want to die, but he hud faced death too many times to flinch from it now that his time sremed to have come. But through his mind old Hooker's words wern running: "You promised me you'll look out for Lois if anything happens to me." Those words, cut off ^>y the roar of the explosion from the as- sassin's revolver. And, "She never had a chance, poor kid." Somehow it seemed to Dave that he could KO more easily If Lois believed he was not old Hooker's murderer. The girl was looking straight back at him. In the darkness Dave could see the dark gray pools of her eyes, as if lit by an inner fire. Someone produced a rope and flung it over the bough. Rough hands laid hold of Dave and fas- tened the other end about, his neck, fashioning a hangman's knot. Dave had ceased to struggle. He would go to his death at least with dignity. "Git one of them broncs!" shouted Curran. sure some hawss," he shouted. "Keep outer his way when he does git to movln', fellers, because he'll move fast and quick. Fork this hombre acrost him!" A little cautiously, for the repu- tation of the black stallion was known to all, the group that held Dave dragged him to Illack Dawn's side and raised him, forcing one leg across and thrusting the toe of the boot into the stirrup. But Black Dawn stood like u graven image, utterly motionless, save for a trembling of his flanks. Dave wondered, incongruously enough, why they hadn't bound his arms. Then he remembered. A strangling man claws instinc- tively at the rope by which he is suspended, prolonging the agonies of death mid Increasing the am- usement that his hanging offers. * Dave sat the black stallion dis- dainfully, making no attempt at resistance, nut again he sought Lois' eyes, and again he saw the girl's eyes fixed on his. And all of a sudden it seemed to him us ff a triple understanding had 1>, > effected between himself ami the girl and the big horse. He felt that lllack Dawn recognized his mas- tery of him. "We're Just about ready, Miss Lois," shouted Curran.

(Continued Next Week) Keep your Mouth Shut Or Else! Helnrlch Hlmmler, chief of the Gestapo, now requires Germans to give financial and personal guarantees that they "will not en- ter i-ito any discussion about the situation in Germany" before per- mitting them to visit a neighbor- Ing country, the British radio said. Before a visa Is Issued the Gestapo makes a personnal Invest- Igtlon, requires the deposit of a large sum of money and obtains the signature of two relatives or friends, who are thus threatened with arrest if the prospective traveler does not keep his pro- mises, the braodcast said. HOW SECRET "ROCKET" PLANE WORKS The photo and diagram shown here are of an Italian Caproni-Oampini jet-propelled plane that presumably operates on the same principle as the new, secret Jet-propelled, propellcrless plane whose perfection by British und U.S. tnginetri has just been announced. This Italian plane flew 108 miles in 2! a hours on December 1, 1041. The first sui-ce--sftil flight of the British piano was made in May, 1941. The "rocket" or jet-propulsion method is basically simple. Air is drawn into the fuselage through large intake vent under the nose and compressed in a rotary blower. Fuel is added in the combustion chamber and the gases then pass throng! a turbine and are ejected at high velocity through n tail nozzle. The rearward force of this jet of gas thrusts the plane forward. Reservoir Of Wheat Ready For Europe At least 1,000,000,000 bushels of wheat, half of it in Canada, will be available for shipment to the hungry people of Europe if the war there ends in 1944, the Dominion bureau said last week in a review of the wheat situa- tion. Argentina and Australia have a total surplus of 500,000,000 bushels available for export, while Canadian surplus stocks stood at 670,000,000 bushels on October 1. "This reservoir of wheat would seem to hold assurance that a Europe liberated in 1944 and pro- vided with adequate ocean ton- nage would not go short of bread," said the bureau. "Moreover, both Canada and the United States will harvest an- other wheat crop in the middle of 1944 and the United States is en- deavoring to increase the acreage under wheat for the 11)44 harvest by 14,000,000 acres."
