When King George Received

Samuel Morse, inventor of the
electric telegraph, had only one
ambition as young man and that
was to become an artist. He stud
led under Washington Allston.
then the greatest painter in the
United States, and with Allston
went to London in 1911. There he
met Benjamin West who, although
an American, was president of the
Royal academy. and a great ia
vorite with the king, who later
made him Sir Benjamin West.
West was actually at work on a
portrait of the king when the lat

man advisers finally won them over
to the theory that these positions
had been held at a cost far out of
proportion to their Importance.
Japan has depended largely upon
the naval guns for most of her ar
tillery Smelling and, attacking far
Their back from the river, will lose
that advantage. The presence of
Japanese warships was an impor-
tant factor in the heavy Chinese
casualty list, which totaled 10000
killed and $4,000 wounded. The in
vaders lost 10000 men killed and
an unestimated number wounded.
The first strategic stage of the
Chinese fighting in Shanghai-as
planned by the German officers
was to slow down and harass the
landing of japanese reinforcements;
the second, to divide the Japanese
lines, and the third, to deprive the
Japanese of the use of their naval
guns.
Realizing what is going on, the
Japanese command has ordered
rapid advance no matter what the
cost, in an effort to change an or
derby retreat into a complete rout.
AS a result, the Japanese for the
time being are the heavy losers in
men, rather than the Chinese. The
latter have been covering their ma
neuver well, leaving land mines in
their wake which have blown whole
Japanese units to bits, and contina-
ing to throw a curtain of artillery
fire in front of the invaders. The
city of Shanghai is a mass of fires
and ruin such as no one has ever
seen there before.

Nazis Too Busy to Fight

A DOLF HITLER, German dicta-
4 tor, struck what might have
been a cheerful note, in conference
with foreign government represen-
tatives at the Nazi rally in Nurem-
berg, when he declared that Ger
many is too busy to become involved
in any war. He said that the plans
which he and other Nazi leaders
have for the country would take
from 20 to 40 years to complete, and
that war might be disastrous to
them.
The Reichsfuehrer reiterated his
belief that Germany's colonies must
be returned to her, to furnish a mar
ket for her goods. He implied that
Great Britain need have no fear OF
the Nazis maintaining naval bases
in colonies, for the expense of that
would offset the economic advantage
created by them.

Hitler: Stand by Japan
| DOLE HITLER. II

A DOLF HITLER, in a manifesto
1 a to the German nation, offered
to stand by both Italy and Japan in
a defensive fight against bolshe-
vism." He charged that the "two
major wars" now going on (the
Sino-Japanese and the Spanish civil
wars) were the result of attempts
to spread communism"
The Reichsfuehrer's speech was
read to the Nazi party congress in
Nuremberg while he sat on the plat
form. It could not have been better
timed in view of the current friction
between Italy and Soviet Russia
over submarine piracy in the Medi-
terranean.
Germany and Italy's community
of interests" have emerged in re-
cent months, he said, more and
more an element in the defense of
Europe against chaotic imbecility."
His manifesto continued: "Our
(anti-communistic) agreement with
japan serves the same fundamental
mission-to stand together in de
tense of world civilization.

The Scales

WHAT goes up must come
W down. Or if you wish to put
it in more scientific language: Ac-
ton is equal to reaction and in the
contrary direction.
This is the law of compensation.
1t is the one fixed, immutable law
OF life and it applies to every
thing, everywhere. 1t cannot be
evaded or avoided. The working
of it may be immediate or it
may be matter of centuries,
but if we keep ourselves aware
of it we may be saved disappoint-
ment and disillusion.
The extent to which we try to
restrict that law is absurd. We
speak of balanced budgets, bal
anced rations. and the balance of
trade; but we quite ignore BAL
anced lives and balanced sociolo-
gy; so, in the end. Nature takes
the job off our hands, with the
consequent upheavals and disturb
ances.
We work or play to excess, we
indulge our appetites and our
senses to repletion, perhaps to
gluttony, and when we suffer dur
ing Natures work of restoring
balance, we rail at fate.
In monarchy and republic we
allow our thirst for power and
for money to overbalance our
lives, both individually and So
cially, then blame God and man
for the chaos which attends the
restoration of balance.
In all the affairs of life we may
evolve PHILOSOPHERS and devise
systems; but just so long as they
are out of balance, individually,
socially, industrially or govern
mentally, just so long will the
scale teeter up and down to our
discomfort.
If as individuals our lives are
out of balance, the structure as
whole must also be out of bal
ance; and in time that balance
must be restored-by us or by
