 Cambridge, Mass, Mar 1.-(UP) The Laughing Allegra" of Long fellows poem, the Children's Hour, Is dead.
 She was Mrs Annie Allegra LongfeIlow Thorp, 78, last daugh- ter of Henry Wadsworth Longfel- low and wdiow of Joseph c. Thorp. She died yesterday at the family home, Craigie House, on Brattle street.
 A wealth of historic and literary tradition centered about her. She was brought up in Craigie House, known not only as Longfellows' home but because 1t served as George Washington's headquarters in Revolutionary war days. Through her paterna1 grandmother she was descendant of John Alden and Priscilla Mullens, whom LongfelIow immortalized in the Courtship of Miles Standish.
 Longfellow was 50 and world fa- nous when Annie was born. When he wrote The Children's Hour she was 2, Edith was 5, and Alice was 9. Years before he had ended his teaching career at Harvard, where he was known to the students as "Old Pop" and centered his life and labors in the study of Craigie House.
 About his study, Its three doors left unguarded, revolved the childhood of the three girls, Laughing Allegra, Grave Alice. and Edith with Golden Hair. He paused once in letter to his publisher to explain:
 Here come the three girls burst ing into the room fresh from q bath. Well, I have kissed them all and written them each a little let

Peace On Earth or Hell On Earth" Theme of
 Temple Israel Address

Within the past few weeks, fear of an impending war has been lowering over the European hori- zon. The recent riots in Paris, the Austrian drama, the spreading of Hitlerism to all parts of the world, the failure of the World Economic aud Monetary Confer ence, the failure of the Disarma- ment Conference, the weakening of the league of nations through Japan's and Germanys withdrawal. the Vincent naval bill at Washing ton with its billion dollar naval program-this succession of events transpiring among world powers has cHeated a new war hysteria.
 Stage and screen have always served as the medium for anti-war propaganda. Their preachments have often been more impressive than ministerial admonitions. To counteract the fear of war, Peace on Earth and Hell on Earth" have been shown in New oYrk city for the past few months. Hell on Earth" the first international anti war film, had, until two weeks ago, been on view at the Acme theater, Union Square, New York city. Peace on Earth" which had its premiere at the Civic Repertory theater on November 29 Is still being enthusiastically received by thousands. 3tf%

JAPANESE SHOW THEIR HAND AERIAL DEEENSES IN PACIFIC. OCEAN

Japan indicates that she may establish aerial bases on the nor thern extremities of her empire. Today's press dispatches point to the fact that Japan is we'll aware of the fact that the United Stat es probably intends to fortify AL askan waters and territory with aerial bases.
 Alaskan newspapers have ad- Vocated for the past two years that the government should place air squadrons in the Territory. We are still of the opinion that those contemplated bases should be es- abolished
 The Japanese government is we'll aware of the fact that the two recent flights of U. S. air squad rons to Alaska, may result in the placing of several air bases in Alaska, both for training and for protection for the Pacific seaboard boundary of the United States.
 There can be no plainer words spoken than those issued by the Japanese government that the move to investigate their northern boun- daries for the establishment of air bases, is direct counter move to the proposed fortification of the

 People in Alaska are well aware that the Japanese will some day attempt to occupy the Territory Human growth and expansion de- mands that Japan enlarge. She -can-do this-only- through the--de- velopment of martial tactics. There fore, it is only a short step from her boundaries to Alaska, which at the present time is the most vulnerable point on Uncle Sam's boundary
 One thing more remains to be said, Instead of the several towns in Alaska becoming confused and at '1ogger-heads" over the esta- blishment of an air base in the Territory, they should cooperate to convince the U. S. government that aerial fortifications in Alaska are of extreme necessity.

Shepherd to Fill
Purvis' Grid Berth
Western Maryland Ace Wins
Open Pos ition.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27-Bill
Shepherds great ball-carrying in
practice drills won the Western
Maryland back today a first string
berth on the Eastern Au-Star team
which plays the West eleven in. the
Shrine football game here New
Years Day.
Shepherd, highest scorer in the
nation during the regular college
season, got his chance when Duane
Purvis, Purdue star, suffered knee
injury which will prevent his play
ing in the intersectional game.
Coach Dick Hanley originally con-
sidered sending Ed Brominski of
Columbia into Puryis' right half
back berth, but Shepherd, a power
full plunger and a fast stopper in
the open, refused to be showed aside.
While the Eastern coaches we're
perfecting their strategy at Berke-
ley, the West team built its attack
around AL Nichelini, st. Mary's, in
workouts at Stanford University.
Nichelini has been shifted from half
back to full back and assigned the
line bucking role for the game.

ridge question.
That's a difficult assignment.
Blackboard has figured and f1dg-
eted and added and subtracted
and the figures all sum up to just
plain zero.
1t isn't that both teams are so
powerful that the question lies in
which will roll up the largest
score. If you'll pardon the direct
ness, it's just the opposite. The
problem centers in just which
quintet will find the hoop for the
least points.
The scoring figures are plain,
and, be you Techite or Short
ridger, you'll have to admit that
neither team has shown anything
resembling sparkling form in more
than one game this campaign.
LOW are you going to use dope
IL on Coach Kenny Peterman's
Blue Devils? They've lost three
and won a lone contest. South
port beat 'em, Greenfield beat 'em,
Delphi beat 'em-yet, they upset
Greencastle. The Blue warriors
appeared to be gaining momentum
when they knocked off the Tiger
Cubs here two weeks ago. The
North Side FASTENERS began to
show a little individual talent.
But the very next week the Blue
basketmen were held to nine
points at Delphi. The Oracles,
with none too impressive record,
could do little better with IA.
Now, how are you to know wheth-
er the Blue Devils will romp Fri
day night as they did against
Greencastle's Cubs or whether
they'll become basket shy as they
were at Delphi?
TECH has a similar record.
Il The Campbellmen were
dropped by Frankfort, Richmond,
Rushville and Logansport. They
whipped Muncie. The Bearcat
scrap was played here, which
means that both the Green and
the Blue have scored their only
triumphs on home hardwoods.
