...from enemy bombs is an Army problem. That the Army does not expect North Carolina or any other State to be presently bombed is beside the Army's point. For when & if it goes to "defensive war"-whether at home or on foreign soil-it still must protect itself, its occupied areas and the civilian lives and properties thereon...
...Elizaldes are the islands' richest Spanish family. Commissioner "Mike," though born in Manila (1896), was schooled in Spain, served in the Spanish Army, still wears a military haircut.

...about half the length of a football field, marked off to let the speeding players readily know where they are and to determine the boundaries of a fair serve (between the fault and pass line)-see diagram. Three walls are of concrete, the fourth is of wire netting to protect the spectators from a ball that travels 100 miles an hour. Object of the game is to scoop the ball (either in the air or on first bounce) as it bounds off the front wall, and, in a split second, return it so that it will be in a difficult...
