Initial steps toward a major Al-

ly when the monsoon season
ends about Oct. 1.
Far-reaching plans for the Bur-
ma offensive, it was assumed,
were blue-printed by President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill last month in Wash-
ington during global strategy
conferences in which both Wav-

It long has been recognized
that the first blow in any long-
range offensive against Japan*
will have to be struck in Burma
to re-open the Burma supply
road to China. Until then, only
a compartive trickle of arms and
other supplies can reach China
by air and over a long, tedious
overland route through moun-
tainous northern India and Chi-
na.
An allied offensive in Burma
also might lead to the liberation
of the Malay states and the Sin-
gapore naval fortress.

the steady advance, the conflict of armor, the pursuit of fighter
bombers over a truck lined road, are all factual, and all stirring

good mock battles, and if they
engage the Texas State Guard
unit — as they planned — the

the cottagers in the lake area
thought a real battle was in
full swing when the boys man-

over a wide area.
In the vo*lley ball games Fri-

volleyed the harder and the Pres-

iiliproved, but not enough, were
forced to bow—or droop.
The gallery has continued to
gain, and the playeis are show-

are the many businessmen are

Don Smith, a Presbyterian
drafted into the lineup Friday
night, got his first lesson in this
volley ball exercise. He got his
blue prints mixed a time or two,
and says sometimes that ball
floating at a fellow looks as
big as a balloon. Don looked like
good timber, however, after he
had become provoked enough to
really wade in and swat the pes-
ky ball.

nine games with the Yanks this
