APPRECIATES THE STAR
Panama, July: 29, 1945.
Dear Editor Bill-I just received
another copy of The Star which,
by the way, was the first one am
over two months. No, I'm not
griping. I'm glad I received it, re-
Igardless of how late. Better late
than never. Right? I enjoy read-
ing the paper and it's a great
morale booster. The fellows here
like to read it, too, even though
they know nothing about that nice
little town where the, paper is
printed.
Say! I'll bet you really got tired
of changing that address so much,
didn't you? Well, just think of the
headaches It meant for me to
move. around so much. It certainly
wasn't my idea.
I noticed that in order to receive
The Star when the subscription is
renewed a request- Is necessary.
Well, I'm requesting-and practic-
ally begging ya-to keep The S'af
coming toward "The Big Ditch."
Wa.nteha?
'Best regards to you and tme
many, friends in St. Joe.
Buenos noches.
JIMMIE ADAMS.

Near Dog Island

Believed To Have Been In Water
About Six Weeks; Provisions
Bear Recent Inspection Date

A submarine rubber life raft,
identified as. of German manufac-
ture and well stocked' with emer-
gency rations was picked up Sun-
day, July 29, in the Gulf about four
miles off the west end of Dog Is-
land by an army boat from Cami
Gordon Johnston which was re-
turning from a fishing trip.
Provisions aboard the raft in-
cluded signal equipment, a distress
flag, concentarted foods, tobacco,
fishing gear, pervitin (fatigue elim-
inating drug) and schnapps. In-'
spection dates Indicated that most
of the. material had been in Ger-
many as late as December 28, 1944.
The material was turned over to
the security and intelligence, d~
vision at Gordon Johnston.
The theory was put forth that
the raft had been afloat no longer
than six weeks, due to the imma-
ture formation of barnacles and
marine matter on its bottom, and
the possibility was also presented
that the raft may have washed
ashore several months ago and
subsequently carried; back to sea
by the recent high tides.
Further information. regarding
the mystery raft is exipectedtpo be
released. by higher headquarters,
as, the evidence (including the
schnapps) has' 'been sent to service
command headquarters' for de-
tailed study.
The, following item, in regard to
the raft, appeared, in last Satur-
day's issue of "The Amphibian,"
Gordon Johnston's camp newspa-
per:
"REWARD-The Amphibian will
pay $10 for information leading to
the arrest of A. Hitler, nee Schicr-

Our Country Right or Wrong

INCREDIBLE POWER
Discovery of how to unleash the power ot
the atom, which was demonstrated this week
in the dropping of an experimental "atomic"
bomb on Hiro Shima, opens up undreamed of
benefits for the human race in years to' come.
It has long been the dream of scientists to
harness the power they knew lurked in the
atom, and if it has been done, which appar-
ently seems the case, it is one of the biggest
things that any of us living today may expect
to see in our lifetime. This discovery means
that a relatively small amount of inert matter
such as copper, for instance, can be used to
develop power that will put to shame our
largest hydroelectric or steam plants. It is
probable that harnessed atomic power would
do away with coal and petroleum products for
the development of power, and eventually we
may see our automobiles, airplanes, railroad
locomotives and ships powered with small but
incredibly powerful atomic engines.
Perhaps this is the one thing- that will even-
tuallv outlaw war on this old world, for with
the terrible destruction that could be utin-
leashed with atomic weapons, no nation would
dare to start a war for domination.
While World War I failed of its effort to
be "the war to end all wars," it looks like the
present war may do just that due to, this new
,discovery.


TWO WAYS TO 'SKIN' A CAT
When Harry S. Truman joined recently
with Winston Churchill and Chiang Kai-Shek
in sending an ultimatum to Japan, he prob-
ably knew in advance that the Japanese war
lords would scorn these "final" peace terms.
Therefore it might be wise to look for the
less obvious purposes behind this joint act ot
Britain, China and the United States.
Of course there was a great advantage in
re-stating the basis upon which the' United
Nations would make peace with Japan, thus
putting an end to the hopes of the "soft"
peace advocates. Yet there was another anct
perhaps even more important value attached
to the n'-eparation of the ultimatum at this
time, one that has been reflected by dis-
patches appearing from our command out-
posts in the Pacific.
The text of the ultimatum has been trans-
lated into Japanese and imprinted on leaflets
and more than 500,000 of these are being
flown to Japanese civilians and soldiers every
day in a continuous series of bomber sorties
over various parts of the Japanese homeland.
Our psycholQgical warfare department
knows what a tremendous part surrender
leaflets are playing in the destruction of Jap-
anese morale. They have seen how the once-
vaunted "no surrender" attitude of the ordin-
ary Jap soldier has been collapsing under tne
influence of American "paper" bullets. They
know now that the Jap soldier is after, all
just a plain human being despite the fanatical
teachings of their overlords, and that thou-
sands of American lives are being saved be-
cause the Jap is being taught to surrender.
The Japanese military caste had no altern-
ative but to reject the ultimatum, unless com-
mitting hara-kiri or being tried as a war crim-
inal can be considered alternatives. Yet, it
is a certainty that this very ultimatum, con-
taining no threats to the safety of 'the ordin-
ary citizens of Japan, will hasten the crack-
up of Japanese morale as a result of our "pa-
per" bombing. And when we place on top of
this the newly-released atomic bomb, with
its high destructive power, we should soon
see the collapse of the Japanese empire.
