Much obliged.
The Italian soldier Badoglio, in
the striking uniform of an Italian
marshal, returned to Rome and
embraced Mussolini, who wore the
uniform of corporal of fascist
militia. Napoleon also liked to be
called the "little corporal"
Marshal Badoglio is an Italian
soldier who obeys orders. When
Mussolini's forces were marching
on Rome, Badoglio~ according to
the story, said to the king: 'What
shall I do-wipe them out?" The
king ordered: ''No; no violence"
Now, Mussolini rules, and on his
orders Badoglio wipes out Halle
Selassie and the government of
Ethiopia.
Anything could happen in Europe,
and one of the things considered
quite possible, extremely disturb
ing to respectable old England and
others, is an agreement between
Mussolini and Hitler to make "a
deal on Austria" profitable for both;
not for Austria.
There is llways, however, the
memory of 1914, when Austria,
Italy and the Kaiser had the triple
alliance that did not "stand up"
Such alliances usually go along
racial lines, if they are to last.
France and Italy are natural al

United States would probably be

World war should ever come, with

know, is long way from the suns

England protested against raising
the elevation of guns on American
warships because that would make
our guns shoot too far. In case of
war we might hit a British ship

At Ur, ancient city of the Chal-
deans, they show a gigantic brick
temple, recently uncovered, where
it has lain in the ground covered
through the ages. 1t was construct
ed originally, like the tower of
Babel, to enable the builders to get

First they invented those pagan
gods, and then they actually be-

1t is to be hoped that the gov

planes able to fly any ocean.
If war came, our bombing oper-
ations could be carried on in coun-

any bombing in America. After
the first experiment, no country
would send any ships within easy
bombing or submarine range of
these shores.
