KANDY, Ceylon, July 3 —(AP)
—An allied raiding party drove
ahead of the main force and pene
trated the Japanese stronghold of
Ukhrul. 24 miles northeast of Im
phal, it was disclosed today, in an
offensive to clear the enemy from 1
India, a southeast Asia communi-1

Look, God, I have never spoken
to you.
But now I want to say, “How do
you do?"
You see, God, they told me you
didn't exist,
And like a fool, I believed all this,
Last night from a shell hole, I
saw Your sky,
I figured righ* then they had told
me a lie,
Had I taken time to see things
you had made,
I’d known they weren’t calling aj
spade a spade
.
I wonder, God, if you'd shake my1
hand.
Somehow I feel you would under
stand,
Funny f had to come to this hell
ish place,
Before I had time to see your
face.
•
Well, I guess there isn’t much
more to say,
But I’m sure glad, God, T met you
today,
I guess the “Zero Hour" will soon
be here,
But I’m not afraid since I know
you’re near.
The signal: Well, God, I’ll have
to go,
I like you lols and I want you to
know,
Look now, this will be a horrible
fight,
' Who knows, I may come to Your
House tonight.
Though I wasn’t friendly before,
I wonder, God, if you’d wait at
your door,
\ Look, I’m crying! Mel shedding
tears;
■I wish I had known you these
many years.
Well, I have to go now, God,
goodbye;
Strange, since I met You, I’m not
afraid to die.
Territorial Guard
Tundra Army’
The Alaska erritorial Guard is
truly a “tundra army", according
to Major Marsten, its deputy com
mander-in-chief.
The major visited the office the
other day and remarked the Na
tives of Alaska responded well
to the military program lined up
for them through the Alaska Ter
ritorial Guard.
In Nome, the organization meets
twice each week under the com
mand of Major L. D. Bronson,
in the gymnasium of the Territor
ial School.
Many of the members of outly
ing units, such as Shaktoolik and
King Island, have come to Nome
for the summer months, and are
meeting with the Nome unit.
The members of fhe Alaska
Territorial Guard at Shaktoolik
are civic-minded also, having
built a grand airstrip for commer
cial planes. • '
Up in Kotzebue, during *he first
week in August, the AGG mem
bers will hold a military rifle
shoot, at which all units. in the
area, comprising the Kobuk and
Noatak, will compete.
Candle, Deering, Kiana, Noa‘ak,
Selawik, Shishmaref, and other
units of the area will be repre
sented.
The credit for the idea goes to
Captain George Goshaw, of the
Shishmaref unit, and the manage
men* of the meet will be wholly
in his charge. Capt. Goshaw serv
ed under General Dwight Eisen
hower in World War I., and has
taken quit-* an interest in his
ATG boys
Major Marsten added: “A great
‘tundra army’ has grown out of
the Naitve inhabitants of huts
and igloos throughout Alaska."

TJROM General Bradley, leading the
■*“ Invasion ground forces, right
through every rank, American men now
face a brutal, desperate, able enemy.
For this invasion has only begun—be
fore our fighters lies a hard and bloody
task, one that demands all their courage,
backed by all your faith in their ulti
mate victory.
That faith will be tested many times
in this invasion—in grim struggles, set
backs, possibly even temporary defeats.
It will be up to you to remember that
early victories usually only mean more
savage opposition from a foe made more
bitter, more ruthless as the shadow of
his doom grows larger —up to you to
keep that faith in days and nights of
gloom as well as in hours of triumph.
There is little that you can do to
show that you realize what they must
face, perhaps for many months. But one
thing you can do—back the attack with
every dollar you can spare! Let the
Bonds you buy in this greatest of Drives
be the measure of your belief in their
ultimate victory!
