startling assertion that the time is
ripe for the United States to ask Eu-

"It is very doubtful if ever again
the United States will be in a better
condition to ask favors of Europe
than it is at present." said Mr.. Sher-
rill, in referring to the fact that Euro

assistance in this country as never

GERMANYS "SPHINX"

They call him "The Sphinx" in
Germany-that quiet, unassuming man
with the square jaw and the clear
blue, penetrating eyes, who next to
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is the
most popular military leader in Ger
many today. Like Won Hindenburg,
Lieut.. Gen. August Won Mackensen was
practically unknown even IN Germany
until he penetrated the iron ring of
the Russian forces around Lodz early
in January and achieved victories over
superior Russian forces at Lowicz and
Wloclawek. His recent victories in ca
llcia have won for him the Iron Cross
OF the first and second class and the
elevation to the highest distinction in
the German army-the title of field
marshal.
Won Mackenaen was born on De-
cember 6, 1S4S, being the second son
Of a country gentleman" in Merseburg,
Saxony. His father intended to make
a lawyer out Of him. He graduated
