Gen. Buckner
Warns Americans
On War Effort
HEADQUARTERS, ALASKAN
DEPARTMENT—Lt. Gen. Simon
Bolivar Buckner, Jr., Alaskan De
partment commander. In a Me
morial Day tribute to America’s
war dead, warned ’hat “unless
we devote our full energies to
every phase of the war effort,
the heroes who lay down their
lives will be survived by men
unfit to replace them.”
“Today, as we honor the mem
ory of tho.“ who have died in
defense of th° principles that we
cherish, we must face the stern
reality that many others now
fighting on far-flung battlefields
will never return alive,” General
Buckner said.
“The leng’h of the war, the
welfare of those at the front, and
the number that will survive are
directly affected by the conduct
of those who are not being sho*
at.
If those at home are engrossed
in thoughts of personal gain,
political preferment, or luxurious
indolence, the war will last long
er and many more will march to
their death.
“Unless we devote our full
energies to every phase of the
war effort, the heroes who lay
down their lives will be survived
by men unfit to replace them.”
Among the ceremonies marking
Memorial Day in Alaska was a
service at Little Falls Cemetery
on Attu, where the Americans
killed during the battle of Attu
a year ago, are buried.
Graves in the cemetery were
decorated with 2,000 artificial
flowers, prepared by Mrs. John
Hubley and her daughter, Mrs.
Kia Lund, of Kodiak. Mrs. Hub
ley, has two sons stationed on the
Aleutians, Thomas in the navy,
and Archie in the army.

hauled them many hundreds of
pounds of needed ammunition
and other supplies, landing them
at Chandler Lake, during the last
few years.
“These Arctic Men are a real
asset to use in our reindeer ac
