No Napoleon

ERANCO has advanced wher-
Il ever he has concentrated
his best troops. but his man
power is so limited that he can
hit only one section of the line
at a time. That explains why
there have been such long waits
between his offensiveS.
Furthermore Franco is no Ma
poleon. He is able, but overly
cautious. He has been pickering
with his hackers. 10y alist
morale is amazingly hard to
conoueH.
His German and italian
troops have been estimated re-
Gently between $4,000 and 1O0,-
900. No one has ever claimed
more than 10000 of these are
German; some authorities think
only 10000. Furthermore the
German troops do not operate
in the field. They are mostly
technicians. Even the Italians
are not Mussolini'S best troops,
but mostly second and third
grade soldiers (aviators and
technicians excepted, faster
with their feet than with their
trigger fingers.
Germany and Italy still are
flying planes in openly, and
shipping tanks and artillery in,
mostly to the north coast ports.
The German and italian ships
return to their home ports with
iron ore.

Driving Away Votes

LIE CANNOT eliminate them
IL from the political picture.
He will merely drive them else
where if he winS), into a sep
arate party or into the arms of
waiting Republicans. In any
case he is driving away votes
that were cast for him in the
last two elections.
Mr.. r. may know more about
it than anyone else. He may, for
instance, have some inside re-
ports indicating the chances of
victory for the men he is back
ing are better than generally be-
lieved. Camp has been gener-
ally expected to run third in
Georgia. But even so, practical
ly all his advisers outside the
leftwing faction have pleaded
with him against such course,
and they thought they had him
convinced.
To them it sounds like a per-
son cutting off his left arm
solely because it is of less use
to him than his right.

No Peace in Spain

THERE can be no peace in
l. Spain by victory or defeat.
Peace can come only by media
ton, which means there will be
no peace. So says one who is
probably the highest authority
on the subject of this govern
ment-off the record. He is not
counseling mediation. He is
merely looking his inside facts
in the face.
Obvious to him is the fact
that when Franco conquers the
Loyalist field force he will have
to continue against guerrilla
warfare indefinitely. He can
only drive the Loyalists under
ground. Even that eventuality is
not expected soon.
End of the field war is not
expected soon for several rea-
sons.

Night Lights For Athletic Field Moy Be
Next Civic improvement, Dome Rumor

For the past several weeks there
has been considerable discussion
over the city to the effect that LID
by ought to have lighted base
ball field for night games. Accord
ing to rumors that are now floating
around. definite action will be start
ed at once to equip the athletic fleld
with the necessary lights.
Some figuring was done some time
ago and it was estimated that the
lights could be installed for not to
exceed S700. The cost of the cedar
poles for the lights would be in
addition to that sum. 1t is believed
part of the required sum might be
obtained through a WPA grant, and
the balance raised by popular sub
scription with everyone asked. to do
nate a quarter or two The larger
crowds that could be secured at
night games would swell the re-
ceipts materially and thus help to
pay for the new equipment.
Those who are becoming enthusl-
astic over the project favor the de-
veloping of the field so as TO take
care of several sports. These would
include baseball, soft ball, football,
volley ball, with ice skating and
hockey for the winter. Rumors are
flying thick and fast this week, and
it is said several prominent citizens
are becoming greatly interested III
the project.

Libby, Mont, July 20, 1898.
Editor Western News.
With reference to your article two
weeks ago about placing street
markers throughout our city, this
suggestion is timely, and should be
taken into consideration by the City
Fathers, and brought to a conclu-
sion. Personally, | have been a
citizen of Libby for number of
years, yet there are quite num-
Der of our streets, the name and To-
cation of which are still a mystery
to me, and without doubt to ma
jority of local citizens. Frequent
ly / am asked by tourists and 9TH
ers for directions to reach given
location, and being ignorant of our
street locations, cannot comply with
the request.
There are few points that should
be considered:
|. Should Libby be a modern and
up to- the-minute city or just 3
"backwoods" town?
2. Shouldn't we at least attempt
to show visitors we are progresslve2
8. When travelling don't you APP
preciate small favors and helps Of
local citizens of towns you are Wis
iting? Don't you have more pleas
ant feeling and attitude toward peo-
pie who help rather than hinder
you?
d Attractive street markers
placed at the corners of our city
streets, would largely help in To-
eating given place and would also
help beautify our city.
s. In the next few years, Libby
will be one of the tourist centers
Of Montana, with an influx of tour
lists and visitors Why not star
NOW to build up, in small way
needs that eventually will be abso
lutte necessities?
s. Large signs should be placed a
the intersection of the Highway or
9th ST., with Mineral Ave, and a
the crossing of 9Th St, and thu
highway west of the city limits, di
recting tourists and travellers to thu
city center. Millions are being
spent yearly by tourists, and WI
want our share. Being PRACTICAL.
half way between Spokstanae ord Cha
cier park we are strategically 10
Gated, y so that tourists will reacl

night, SO let's make it SO pleasan
for them that they will want t

Dear Hal Cuff:

Dear Hal Cuff.
More power to you on the matter
of posting names of streets. Appar-
emily you do not know that about IL
or Is years ago the then city coun-
Gil purchased nice metal name plates
for all the streets and avenues of
the city and these are neatly piled
somewhere around the city hall or
city garage. am told that the cost
of purchasing and installing metal
posts for every street corner is pro-
hibitive and that subsequent coun-
ellis have therefore not installed
these street signs. What's wrong
with the idea of securing consent of
the two public utilities operating
in the city to paint nice white blocks
on their poles Tone at each cornerl
and then stencil in black letters the
names of the streets and avenues,
and the block numbers by hundreds
II. c. 100 block, 200 block, etc.
Many other cities do this. This
might also stop politicians or
would be" politicians from posting
their pictures on these poles. Most
OF them have enough civic pride not
to cover street signs. And. by the
way, isn't there city ordinance
against lacking signs on telephone
and light poles?

disease have been created where
none existed before.
We nave learned much during
these years and when, therefore,
was told by the doctors and SCI
entists that much could be gained
by the establishment of this new
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, I was happy, indeed. to
lend my birthday to this united
effort.
During the last few days bags of
mail have been coming, literally
by the truckload, to the White
House. Yesterday between 10000
and $4,000 letters came to the mail
room Of the White House. Today
an even greater number-how
many cannot tell you-for we
can only estimate the actual count
by counting the mail bags. In all
the envelopes are dimes and quar-
ters and even dollar bills-gifts
from grown-ups and children
mostly from children who want
to help other children to get we'll.
Literally, by the countless thou
sands, they are pouring in, and I
have figured that if the White
House staff and I were to work on
nothing else for two or three
months to come We could not pos
sibly thank the donors. Therefore,
because 1t is a physical impossi-
bility to do it, must take this
opportunity Of thanking all of
those who have given, to thank
them for the messages that have
come with their gifts. and to thank
all who have aided and co-operated
in the splendid work we are doing.
Especially am I grateful to those
good people who have spread the
news OF these birthday parties
throughout the land In every part
of all the big cities and the smaller
cities and towns and villages and
farms.
1t is glorious to have ones BIRTH
day associated with . work like
this. One touch of nature makes
the whole world kin. And that
kinship. which human suffering
evokes. is perhaps the closest of all,
for we know that those who work
to help the suffering find true
spiritual fellowship in that labor
Of love.
So, although no word Of mine
can add to the happiness We share
in this great service in which we
are all engaged, I do want to tell
you all how deeply I appreciate
everything you have done. Thank
you all and God bless you all.
