there was nothing to point to a rob-
berry motive for the crime.
The cord about the girls neck had
been drawn tight in a square knot
and tied in a half loop under her
chin. The tie strings on her blue
coat were wrapped taut twice around
the throat, tied in a square knot and
bow under the right ear.
DR.. Lavine said two deep wounds on
either temple might have been made
by ice tongs in dragging the body into
the pines from a spot so feet away,
where a pool of blood was discovered.
At first it was thought the girl had
been shot through the temple. The
skull was not broken, however. The
regular position of the wounds on
opposite sides of the forehead sug
gested that they might have been
caused by ice tongs.
The woods were searched to no
avail for some instrument which might
have made the wounds.
Inquest Postponed.
An inquest tentatively set for to-
night was postponed indefinitely until
enough evidence can be collected for
presentation to the coroner's jury,
which was sworn in over the body at
the scene Saturday afternoon.
Meanwhile. funeral arrangements
for the murdered stenographer were
held up. The girls father, an en-
ploye Of the Maryland State Highway
Commission, who has been stationed
at Cambridge. conferred with author
tiles today regarding the burial. but
was told the body could not yet be
released.
The sorrowing father told reporters
he had not the faintest idea Of who
might have had a grudge against his
daughter. She was quiet and de-
mure home girl" a church-goer and
part-time Sunday school teacher, who
had gone about with men less than
the usual girl of her age.
The father said he had not the least
objection to the match between his
daughter and Tear. 1t was said, how
ever, that the mothers opposition to
the marriage prompted the young
couple to move up their wedding date
several months in order to avoid any
possible interference with their plans.
Put Deposit on Apartment.
Tear had bought the wedding ring
and the two had paid a deposit on an
apartment in the 2400 block of Newton
street northeast, where they had
moved in some furniture and expected
to add to it in a week or so. Mr..
Loring said, Il can't imagine Who
could have had any reason to kill my
daughter. I never even suspected SIZE
had an enemy in the world. While
know very little of her business,
since I have been working in Cam
bridge for several years, I am certain
that she was quiet girl who never
interfered in the affairs of another"
II never opposed her marriage to
Tear, although I understand there
were some family difficulties on the
subject"

I'm sure Mr.. Tear would never
harm Miss Loring," Mrs. Christen
said today. He seemed to be one of
the kindest men ever saw and you
could see he was very much in love
with Miss Loring"
The couple learned Of the apart
ment through an advertisement in The
Star. Mrs Christen said they told her
they had planned to be married in
February. moved the date up to jan
uary, and finally to last wednesday.
The rent was to start. on the day they

On Monday furniture arrived from

Banks generally are seeking loans"
Bennett said, "and are taking care of
the legitimate needs. In the last
month or two we have noticed
marked increase in loan inquiries
which I think can be attributed TO
the increased urge of business to reach

aggressions in Ethiopia.
No one who has the slightest
acquaintance with the history
of colonial expansion in the
past two centuries, could pos
sibly believe that England goes
to the very brink of war with
her old friend, italy. merely for
the sake of preserving the in
dependence of a semi-barbarous
region of Africa.
Her attitude unquestionably
springs from sincere motives
and a much deeper apprehen-
sion. It is not the successor Of
the Caesars whom the British
Lion faces today with barred
teeth. It is scarcely possible to
conceive that England fears
eviction from the Mediterran-
can and the severance Of her
life line to India and to Africa.
Mussolini, indeed, has given
ample assurance that he has
no designs of conquest upon a
square mile of British territory.
GREATER MENACE
There is no reason to doubt
his word. There is little reason
to believe that it is doubted in
Downing Street. The fact is,
England looks over MuSSolini'S
shoulder and beholds the face
of a greater menace-the face Of
Hitler.
Putting it simply, if Mussolini
is to have his way in Ethiopia
to seize that medieval land,
pretty much after the same fash
ion that she, herself, seized In
dia, South Africa and Egypt
what then is to prevent a re-
currence of the same problem

If there were no German
problem, there would be, in all
likelihood, no Italian problem

already voiced her demand for
her lost colonies, it is scarcely
comprehensive that England
would run the dreadful risk of
provoking a second World War.

The American system of train.

And I've yet to make a state

For I know perfectly we'll what

consciously aid and abet alien
intrigue by supporting what
Leonard Wood called "the theo.
ries and policies Of added minds
and shallow intelligences."
1t did not take Leonard Wood
long to size up the program Of
Soviet Russia. He did not hesi-
tate in the days following the
end Of the Great War to warn
his countrymen against the sap
ping expedition to weaken
American institutions which the
political Reds of that day were
already organizing.
There is room in this coun.
try for only one Flag" declared
Leonard Wood, "and that is the
American Flag. Put down the
Red flag. 1t stands for nothing
which our Government stands
for.
'Tt is against everything we
have struggled for. 1t is against
the integrity Of the family, the
state, the nation. 1t only floats
where towards are in power. 1t
represents everything we want
to avoid.

ton to go after it and tNe sense

But there's one prospect
about declining years that GER

SECRET OF YOUTH
There's nothing more demor-
alizing to a human being of

consideration - unless he has
earned them. And nothing as
dangerous to ones character as

Of war, will eventually compel

Justly ours"
In this situation, one finds
also an explanation of the per-
plexities of France. A genera
ton of ill-feeling between the
Italians and the French had
been alleviated to a degree re-
sembling friendship. Suddenly,
France finds herself caught be-
tween Scylla and Charybdis.
On the one hand is modern,
militarized Italy, again a first
class power; a useful, potential
ally against NaZi Germany in
case Hitler moves to seize
Austria. On the other hand
is England, a power of refuge
and strength if Germany should
once more embark or a war of
revenge against France, her
traditional enemy.
The French, a thoroughly
logical and extremely practical
people, probably do not give
a hang for Ethiopia, but the
fear of German aggression is
so deep-rooted that they are
apparently minded to back the
British even to the point of
passive military assistance. The
League of Nations, of course,
is merely an instrument in the
hands of these two dominant
forces of Europe.
Who believes that such noble
sentiments would have been
uttered in the halls of Geneva
if France and Britain had not
pulled the strings?
RACE CONSCIOUSNESS
The defeat of the Italians in
Ethiopia, the humiliation OF
the white man, would, in British
opinion, undoubtedly set fire to
the aspirations OF the black.
brown and yellow races in every
part of the British Empire.
India SINNERS with discon-
tent and occasionally boils up
into violence. The new conSt1-
tuition is an untried experiment,
a dubious attempt to reconcile
three hundred and fifty million
Hindus with fifty million Mo-
hammedans. There is diScon-
tent in South Africa.
Even if MusSolini should win
the war, waves of resentment
against the rape of Ethiopia
would surge around the world.
The French are less concerned
because the greater share of the
colonial loot went to the British
after the World War. There
would be repercussions in the
French colonies, of course, but
French colonial rule is much
tighter than that of the British.
Their military is in stronger
control; their civilized govern
ment is more drastic; their colo
nial possessions are less infected
with that spirit of rising race
consciousness which so troubles
the British. Nevertheless, as
holders of the second greatest
colonial empire on earth, they
are to some extent concerned
with the same peril.
