The necessity of supplying
the African front undoubtedly
requires sharp curtailment of
shipping to all other Atlantic
points, the New York Times
well-known military analyst,
Hanson Baldwin, writes.
“The urgent necessity of pro-
viding adequate protection for
African convoys has very pro-
bably forced the diversion of
ships from our other trans-
Atlantic routes,” Baldwin de-
clares. ‘‘Our great shipbuilding
successes, the growing strength
°f the U.S. Navy, and the addi-
tion of part of the French Fleet
to the United Nations > naval
forces must now bring an effec-
tive anti-submarine capaign.”
1918
Washington.
The Swedish newspaper Nya
Dagligt Allehanda, reaching,
here today, reported the figure
“1918” — recalling Germany’s
defeat in that year — has been
painted on the walls of houses
in Bergen, Oslo and other Nor-
wegian towns. The symbol
also is scrawled on German pos-
ters which the Nazis put up.
The paper says the symbol was
so annoying to the Nazi aut-
horities in Trondheim that they
asked civilians to form a “spe-
cial lookout service,” to find the
persons responsible.

V
Friend
A smile was his good bye
And taxiing out acróss the plain
He soared into the sky.
Happy youth, his way was clear
His spirits always high
His mind divorced from fear.
The summer’s fiery sun
Baked the barren clay
On which we lay
Counting öne by one
The planes which flashed
Across the blue. Up where
He blazed a trail so cool.
The time it dragged so slowly
As we looked in vain
For his return. We waited till
The first of evening’s chill
Had drifted unawares
He never came.
But time can also fly.
It seems but ýesterday
We shared this world as one
As one we owned the sky
Together just we three
United by a common tie.
The memory of a gallant friend
Will ever be: And as we turned
As if by chance the setting sun
Catching a lone white cloud
In mute farewell reflected down
The promise of a glorious dawn .

Air Corps To
Live In Yale
New Haven — Connecticut.
Yale University, one of Ame-
rica’s largest, announces that
half of its living facilities and
more than a third of all its
other facilities are being trans-
ferred to the Army Air Corps.
The first group of more than
2,000 officers learning to be-
come Army aviators is now
arriving. Preliminary flying in-
struction is also being given to
600 enlisted men. Other Armv
and Navy men are joining the
regular student body for spe-
cialized training.
Harward, Columbia, Corneli,
Princeton and other large uni-
versities already have Army
and Navy service schools and
are expanding them rapidly.
Three more merchant ships
were lauched yesterday, the
U.S. Martime Commission
announced today. This brings
