An Inspired Work

A LII QUIET ON THE WEST
IA ERN FRONT" has just passed
the million mark in Germany. Here
in America $4,000 copies have been
sold, and throughout the world the
total issue tops two millions.
This constitutes to my mind the
most effective propaganda for peace
yet loosed into the world. Nobody
can read Remarque's book without
coming away Mortified at the very
thought of conflict.
The author has avoided labels and
to the best of my knowledge has
not on any occasion called himself
pacifst. Probably the book is
an even stronger agent for peace on
this account. 1t is the work OF an
inspired reporter.
And obviously his was not a
unique experience. The sale of the
book indicates it has aroused the
emotion of recognition. Those who
were there know that the German
novelist is telling the truth. And to
the other millions back of the lines
the same conviction carries.
And so I think, perhaps, there is
q tendency to over-estimate the re-
cent warlike gestures of Mussolini in
his Italian speeches.
To be sure, the antics of the man
ought to receive from the press of
the whole world the contempt which
they deserve. He is a stray stock
actor who has happened to find a
brief engagement on larger stage.
But in all his public appearances
the theatrical element is so strongly
marked that no thoughtful people
can take him seriously for very long
Though never having seen Musso-

CAPTURE OF STONY POINT
May 80.
.ON May so. 1899, the British,
~ under Sir Henry Clinton, took
possession of Stony Point on the
Hudson and began at once to for
tify it.
Washington, who was at that
time defending New York, saw in
ClintonS move an attempt to get
control of the Hudson by slow APP
proacheS. With this in mind, he
determined to check the advance by
striking at the new post.
Accordingly, he sent for An
thony Wayne and asked him if he
would storm Stony Point. Tradi-
ton says that Wayne replied, Il
viii storm hell, if you will plan It. =
Washington planned, and on july
IS, Wayne stormed the point in
what one historian called zone OF
the most brilliant assaults in his
tory"
With more than 500 of their men
taken as prisoners, their guns seized
and works destroyed, the British
had to give up hope Of getting con-
troll of the Hudson.
A subsequent attempt Of Clinton
to lure Washington away from the
Hudson by sending marauding ex-
petitions into Connecticut likewise
failed.

Editor Times-I have taken The
Times for several years and think
it is a wonderful paper. I notice
in your paper that Mrs. Breedlove,
mother of the "rain baby" gets so
much publicity that it almost tempts
me to put my six babies in some
ones yard and leave them for a
time.
1 do not envy her the $4,000, but
I do think it is a poor hen that can
not scratch for one chick. Why did
she not place the baby in a day
nursery and go to work for herself
and the baby? I can not see why
Indianapolis can donate so much
to one who does not even belong
to the city when there are any
number of undernourished children
here who belong to the city.
I believe charity should begin at
home. I wonder what this girl
would have done with six children,
as have. I hope she reads this in
your paper.

EARL OF DERBY ID
 VISIT IN AMERICA
Hopes to Meet Borah With
 Whom He Argued

London, March D N"-The Earl of Derby, noted British sportsman who is planning to visit the United States in April to attend the Ken \tucky Derby as the guest of Joseph F. Widenar, will spend some time in Washington where possibly he may meet Senator Borah, whom he in vited to visit England some time ego.
 Lord Derby engaged in a rhetor- ical brush with Senator Borah in the spring of 1927. There is one prominent politician" said Lord Derby at that time, "who always seems to think we are osres. l refer 10 Senator Borah. l invite him 10 come to this country, if he will do mo the honor, and stay as long as he likes.'
 Burah Denies Charge
 Senator Borah later denied that he had ever thought or said that the English people were ogres. T would really like to visit England and I hope l may find an oppor- tunity to do so,' he was quoted as saying. My mission will not be that of hunting wild game, such as ogres, but to know better a people whose highest cncomium is that of always having been loyal to their own class, an attitude which pre- vails rather strongly in the United States and which, Il think, is worth preserving"
 Lord Derby is now on the con- tinent, but his secretary said he was sailing at the end of April. During his visit to Washington he hopes to renew his acquaintance with Hugh Wallace, former American ambas- sador to France.
 Crossed g Years Ago
 Lord Derby last crossed the At lantic 37 years ago when he accom- panied his father, then governor general of Canada, on state visit to Winnipeg.

Warren, Massr Banker Taken
 to Worcester Today

Boston, March 25 R>-Joseph Marsino of Chicago, whose brief career as a banker brought ruin to the First National Bank of Warren, walked out of states prison today. after having served three years of a fiye-year sentence. /
 He was on parole, but freedom seemed as far away as at any time since he was first sent to the federal penitentiary at Atlanta in 1924. A deputy sheriff from Worcester met him at the prison gate and took him to that city, where two-year sen tence in the house of correction, arising out of another phase of the Warren bank case, hangs over him.
 Attorney With Man
 With the two went George II. Ramer, Marsino's attorney, who re- gently succeeded in obtaining a writ of habeas corpus from the federal court ordering his clients discharge from state custody, but providing that he furnish $10,0o0 bail to war rant his further appearance on oth CT charges.
 Marsino was unable to raise the bail and had to stay in prison until the parole board authorized his re- lease. Although his attorney hoped to persuade the Worcester authori- ties to set aside the sentence still pending in that jurisdiction, Mar sino, probably will have to 20 to Buffalo, N. Y, to face trial for lar ceny in that city.
 Marsino in 1923 bought control of the Warren band and year later disappeared with $200,000 of it's as sets. He was captured and tried and sentenced in federal court. On his release on parole from Atlanta, he was brought back to this state and tried again.
 Claims Double Jeopardy
 Banner Contended unsuccessfully before the state supreme court that Marsino had been placed in double jeopardy. When he brought his clients case into the federal court here, that court agreed that "serious doubt" existed as to the legality of Marsino's conviction in the state court because Marsino then had pending an appeal to the United States supreme court from his con- viction in the federal court.

? Party Leader Admits
Jones Five And Ten
Law Is Unsatisfa ctory.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

WASHINGTON, Nov. II. U.P)-
The widely held belief that the

mission will recommend important
changes in the prohibition laws
was strengthened today by The rO-
sition taken by Senator Simeon D.

publican national committee.
Senator Fess said heavy pcniten-

plan. The fact that this long time

Saloon League forces in Ohio poll
tics and chairman Of the RrDub-
lican national party organization,
regarded the existing situation as
unsatisfactory, has encouraged the
belief that the way is being pre-
pared for some sort Of a change.
However, Senator Fess warned
against the Republican party es-
pousing repeal of the 18th amend
mcnt, or "straddling" the issue. &
straddle, he said, would split the
party.
The party might as we'll say
