Civil War in Spain;
Likely to Be Long

A FTER more than five weeks OF
n desperate fighting, neither the
Spanish loyalists nor the rebels
were able to claim a decided ad-
vantage, and it became evident that
the conflict would be long drawn
out if the other European nations
could keep aloof. This latter even
tuality was made more probable
by Adolf Hitler's announcement
that the German government had
ordered an embargo on arms to
Spain. He thus lined his country
up with Great Britain and France,
and Italy had accepted the French
proposal for neutrality, though with
some reservations.
These neutral nations, how
ever, do not intend to be imposed
upon and both the British and the
German governments made strong
protests to the Madrid government
against alleged violation of the free
dom of the seas. Five British war
ships set sail from Gibraltar and
Hitler sent seven from the Baltic
to enforce the demands that inter-
ference with shipping cease. The
crews of these vessels were ready
for immediate action.
Germany's chief complaint was
that the steamship Kamerun had
been stopped and searched and not
permitted to enter the port of Cadlz,
held by the rebels. However, the
Kamerun proceeded to a Portu-
guese port and, according to an
American correspondent, there un-
loaded twenty-three carloads OF
war material that was sent across
Portuguese territory to the msurg-
ents at Badajoz and Salamanca:
Rebel airplanes made their first
attack on Madrid, bombing two ar
ports and allegedly destroying a
considerable number OF loyallst
planes. This was in retaliation for
the airplane bombing by the gov
eminent of open cities held by the
insurgents.
Merciless slaughter of captives
and hostages on both sides con-
tinued. Several Frenchmen who
were captured by the rebels while
serving with the loyalist troops
were executed, and word was sent
to France that the same fate await
ed any other French nationals
caught aiding the Madrid govern
ment. The rebel leaders are espe-
cially enraged against France, In
sisting that many French planes
have been assisting the government
and that the loyalist force that IN
vaded Mallorca is composed largely
of French and Russian volunteers
using French munitions.

Three Kinds of Silence

There are three kinds of silence.
Silence from words is good, be-
cause inordinate speaking tends
to evil. Silence, or rest from de-
sires and passions, is still better,
because it promotes quietness of
spirit.
But the best of all is silence
from unnecessary and wandering
thoughts because that is essential
to internal recollection, and be-
cause it lays a foundation for a
proper regulation and silence in
other respects.-Madame Guyon.

Believes Crop Insurance
Can Be DEVELOPED

D OY M. GREEN of the Depart
IN ment of Agriculture, who has
been conducting a study of the SUBJ
ject of crop insurance, says he is
confident a workable form of all
risk crop insurance under federal
guidance can be developed. Secre-
tary Wallace and President Roose-
welt are deeply interested in the
matter.
At least four ventures by private
companies into this field in the last
thirty-seven years have met with
either bankruptcy or lack of pub
lie acceptance, Green said, but
added that study had revealed
flaws which could be avoided.
Green commended these efforts

farmers pay their premiums in

MAP NEW COURSE
FOR SAILING RACES
Potomac Boatmen to Use
One of Four Routes Fa-
vored by Wind.

N an attempt to improve the start
ing of its sail boats. and following
the method employed by larger
Il associations around the Long
Island area, the Potomac River Sail
ing Association has abandoned its one
course route for its Sunday races and
installed four possible courses, to be
used according to the wind.
Using the same buoys now mark
ing the course of Hams Point. the
association has enlarged the area of
sailing activities instead of confining
It's members to the former single lane
which, at times, had no real beat to
windward under certain winds.
Three of the four courses are tri-
angular, following the same general
direction from the east side of the
Army War College, around the point
and halfway up the river to the rail-
road bridge. The fourth, however,
would carry the boats straight down
the river off Hains Point, the total
distance to be the same as that fol-
lowed when sailing around the point.
Officials on the committee boat,
which reconnoiters the course for
nearly an hour prior to the weekly
events, will determine the wind each
Sunday shortly after noon and then
display large cards to the contestants
designating the course to be used.
This afternoons race will be the
sixth of the Spring series for all the
boats except the comets. The comets
were on a cruise down at Quantico
last week end and the competition
they held there did not count in the
season records. They will be making
their fifth start Of the season today,
planning to catch up with the rest
of the association by sailing their
sixth race next Saturday.

THE heavy rains of last week here

character, and did not muddy the

reports from Harpers Ferry yester-
day indicated that both these rivers

plenty good fishing around here
today, especially in the late afternoon
and evening. Some of those deep
holes above Key Bridge near the Vir-
ginia shore have not been very well
fished this year. and several big rock
and perch should be there, so go
after them with bottom hooks.
1t might be advisable when fishing
these spots to use weedless hooks, as
the floods early this spring brought
down water-soaked logs and other
debris now settled in these holes.
Log drifts and weed beds are the spots
where big bass like to hang out, so
it is worth the extra trouble to fish
these holes.
