= Code of VaIor Links Brave Fighting Men

Armies change from age to age
and the generals are all different,
but the men who get in there and
do the fighting are pretty much
the same, now and always.
Like the cavalrymen in Tenny-
sons poem. their job is compare
lively simple-to do and or die;
and down through the centuries
they have had an implicit and
whole hearted admiration for tel-
low members of their craft who
display especial skill at the grim
business. .-,,
So that little story about the
Chinese suicide squadron at
Shanghai. and the hit it made
with the Eurpean soldiers who
stood on the sidelines, is a reveal
ing bit of history.
This suicide squadron consisted
of a hundred or so Chinese SOL
diers who had taken cover in a
ruinous warehouse along SoochoW
Creek to dispute the advance OF
the Japanese. They got in there
and stayed for moGe than tWD
days. subjected to heavy fire
Throughout, going woefully short on
eleep and food, and facing nothing
but certain death if they didn't
retreat-which they grimly refus-
ed to do.
Across the creek, in the inter-
national defense sector, was de-
tachment of British regulars

stout fighting qualities shown by
these Chinese soldiers somehow

TOURISTS MIGHT HELP
(Orange News

Automobile clubs of the west, in conference
at Salt Lake City, heartily condemned state
border inspection stations as needless, annoying
and obnoxious says the Redlands Facts. The
conference did recognize the possibility OF eX-
cuse for those states where agricultural inter-
ests and health interests might govern the situ-
alton but urged in such instances that the
tourist "be treated with the utmost courtesy
and consideration, and such inspections be made
as little Objectionable and as brief as possible.
A rather touchy point is involved. The state
providing border inspection service has no more
desire to make it Objectionable than has the
tourist affected Now and then, possibly, an
officious inspector has antagonized the traveller,
but perhaps the vast majority OF such incidents
have been because of the obnoxious attitude of
the tourist himself As a rule the California
INSPECTORS have shown every consideration that
might reasonably be expected, but about every
other car full of immigrants appears to be
unduly imbued with their Importance as free
and independnet Americans who can go where
they damn please"

tanned for protection of the states vast agri-
cultural interests, a survey OF some OF the
pests that have been checked will reveal
score or two of instances, also, are on record
where such inspection has resulted in appre-
hension of escaped criminals.

Probably there have been winters Just
as mild as this, but the harsh ones we
have had In the last three or four years
completely wipe out their memory, at
least they do to us. All we can think OF
now Is that here we have passed the mid
die Of January and we've had only one
snow storm to amount to anything; one
sleet storm that was hazardous for traf-
fic; and only one to tnything; one sleet
storm that was hazardous for traffic; and
only one cold spell that called for ear
laps, plenty Of furnace-stoking, and some
freeze-ups of automobiles. Not typical

But now having proclaimed this we
confidently expect change for the
worse. Once you start to claim that the
winter is over, its backbone being broken,
etc., you are in for trouble. And we rather
expect the trouble to begin momentarily.

Must Hurt Somebody

Congress moved fast-for Congress
in voting to keep American exporters
from shipping munitions to war-torn
Spain. One shipload did get away, but
It does not look as If there will be any
more, and all is quiet along the Potomac.
That quiet, however, is beginning to be
disturbed by the plaintive cries of the
lovers of liberty.
These people are complaining that our
neutrality program is not, in actual fact,
non-partisan affair." Far from bearing
on rebel and government forces alike,
they protest, it plays right into the hands
Of the rebels For the Spanish rebels
have their own supplies of munitions and
are foing right well with them; the Span
iSh government vitality needs such i'm
ports, and, by cutting off the shipments,
our government is giving valuable aid to
the Fascists.
Since we are apparently fated to have
some sort of rigid embargo law as part OF
our neutrality program, this complaint
Is worth examining carefully for
whenever we apply an embargo, similar
complaint will be made by partisans OF
one side or the other. And the best way
to approach 1t Is to understand that any
embargo law we pass, In any European

one side and hurt the other.
It Is 50 in Spain today. It would have
been 50 in the World War. It will be so in
any war In the future. We simply can't
have an embargo law that will help us
keep out Of war If we are going to try to
apply it In scrupulously fair and nom
partisan manner. The World War offers
the best Illustration. If we had an
embargo law then, it would have hurt the
allies very badly. It would not have
bothered the Germans, for they couldn't
get out and get our supplies anyway.
The effect Of the law would have been
onesided - just as the policy we actually
did follow, Of selling munitions to anyone
who could come over and buy them, was
onesided. But the very essence Of our
projected neutrality program is that we
refuse to worry about the fortunes Of
warning parties overseas. That Is what
real neutrality means. The moment we

Too much cannot be said in praise Of
the Boy Scout drive which gets under way
in this city shortly. This is the first in
dependent solicitation for simply Boy
Scouts, just as the drive Of the Girl Scouts
in 1885 was their first. We think that
raising of two funds to carry on the work
of both Boy and Girl Scouts Independently
will be of more benefit in the long run
than apportioning funds to both groups.
Every citizen of Waterbury should be more
than passively interested in the welfare
of scouting in Waterbury. Some contri-
button, small or large, should be made to
indicate this interest.

Reverend Edward J. Brennan

News Of the death Of Reverend Edward
J. Brennan, recent pastor Of st. Mar
garet's Roman Catholic parish in this
city, was received with sorrow by his
many friends and former parishioners.
Father Brennan's condition was known
to have been critical but his death fol-
lowing q few months i'll health was
distinct shock. The favorite and much
esteemed pastor was for quarter Of a
century, not only one Of Waterbury's
leading churchmen, but one of its most
outstanding citizens.
Father Brennan's life at st. Margaret's
was unselfishly devoted to his parish
toner's and his parochial duties Coming
here to start the parish he made many
friends; he was close to his parishion-
ers and shared with them in their trials
and sorrows. He had a deep feeling for
st. Margaret's and through his efforts
started the parish and built one of the
best known elementary schools in the
diocese.
In his parish duties Father Brennan
was man Of gentle priestly dignity. He
had great pride and reverence for cor
rect liturgical form, and the dignity with
which church services were carried out
at st. Margaret's received general COM

feeling, well read, not alone in theological
subjects, but in the best literature of the
past and present. His sermons received
widespread attention, both those on par
ochial subjects, and those also delivered
ON special occasions which were distin-
guished by clarity of thought and
strength and beauty of content.
Father Brennan held the admiration
also of his fellow citizens in Waterbury.
He possessed geniality that earned for
him an immense popularity. He was
highly respected here as priest and as
a useful citizen; his opinions in civic
affairs were highly valued. He was asso-
ciated with many important civic enter
prises, and was valuable as speaker for
many important events Of city and state
wide Importance.
Those who knew Father Brennan best
were aware of his cheerful disposition
and his excessive kindness to those in
trouble. His charitable deeds were many
and negotiated in quiet, unassuming
way. His passing yesterday will be deeply
felt by the remaining members of his sor-
rowing family, by his friends of twenty
five years association here in Waterbury,
and by those new friends of his recent
and brief passionate at st. Mary's Star of
the Sea, New London.
