U. S. Bombs With Pleas For Peace
Two leaflets such as American air crews drop on German soldiers in Italy were received recently by Everett G. Stith, linotype-operator for the Kansan, from his brother, Capt. F. G. Stith, who is in the intelligence division of the Army air forces and is now stationed in Italy.
Cheaply printed on thin sheets of paper about $4\frac{1}{2}$ by $7\frac{1}{2}$ inches, one if the leaflets is written in English, the other in German. The English message is written up like a news bulletin, beginning "Five Days That Cost You Italy." Two German news agency dispatches are quoted, one dated Sept. 14 telling of the American evacuation of Salerno, and the other dated Sept. 19 telling how the German troops in Italy "have disengaged themselves from the enemy."
"These two German statements—the first a premature boast of victory, the second a veiled admission of defeat," says the leaflet, "mark the beginning and the end of the five days in which you Germans Italy."
The message is concluded with, Every day you fight on helps only to prolong the misery of your families and the mass-slaughter of German youth. Come over to us, and put a stop to this madness.
'He who fights on, dies in vain. He who yields, serves his country.'
who yetcs, serves his country.
The German leaflet is headed,
Tunisien? Stalingrad? Sizilien?
Nein! Schlimmer! Translated, the
opening parapagraph begins, "Hitter
bid before Stalingrad, 'Hold out to
the last man!' You did it! How many
have survived Stalingrad?"
At the end of the leaflet is a pass or the convenience of German soldiers who wish to surrender themselves. It states that they need only how the pass to be sent to the rear lines and given food such as the Alled forces receive. Or, it blondly adds, if soldiers wish to surrender and do not have a pass to show, they need only wave their handkerchiefs or make other such signs, and the allies will understand.

Dodder, PT1 On Cruiser Sees Action
Looking forward to spending his first Christmas in three years in the United States, Marshall J. Dodder, a member of the task force which escorted the Doolittle flyers within bombing range of Japan, is thankful for the opportunity to come back to the United States to continue his education in V-12.
Dodder, now living in PTI, has been around a bit since he left his home at Norfolk, Neb., to enlist in the navy in September, 1940. Christmas, 1940, he was in Pearl Harbor Christmas, 1941, he was in Iceland, and Christmas, 1942, found him on the other side of the world at a naval base in the New Hebrides islands. Although he had to destroy his diary before coming back, he estimates that he has traveled over 200,000 miles in the past year.
encountered about 600 miles east of Tokyo.
Dodder's greatest thrill was, of course, the Doolittle bombing mission in which his ship, a cruiser, sank the two Japanese patrol boats
It was during this time that Dodder visited Sydney, Australia, which, in his estimation, rates second only to some of the larger cities in the United States.
"We got along fine there," he commented. "We even found that they dance like we do here. Out only difficulty there was with the motorists. Besides driving on the left side of the street, they drive much faster in the cities than we do. We had several close calls while crossing Sydney streets."
John could go on for hours telling of his experiences, such as his attempted conversations with the natives of Iceland, or that the natives of the South Pacific isles would climb trees to get coconuts for the sailors in return for a few bright trinkets. He could tell of the time that his task force was escorted right up to a Japanese base by two unsuspecting Jap flyers, or of the phosphorescent wake left by a ship in smooth tropical waters on a moonlight night. And he could tell how glad the men are to receive mail from home.
