trust himself on the street with much
money in his pocket. Even if he knew
the beggars would spend the money
for drink. he could not refuse them.

royal treasures for himself, keeping

"'Bull Rings of Great Value to
Small Farmer" That was the
headline 1 saw in a weekly paper
last week. couldn't imagine why
a newspaper should emphasize
the Importance of the arena
where bull fights are held, or,
perhaps, that little brass ring
farmers put in the bulls nose.
Maybe it meant somthing else,
perhaps an auction ring where
farmers go to buy their bulls. So
1 read the article.
A bull ring, dear reader, is an
organization of a few farmers
who chip together and buy bull.
This bull is passed around from
one dairy herd to another.
. Which raises the question:
when sheep farmers organize a
"Buck Ring" do they pass the
buck?"

A Reader Writes

Dear Editor:
. When l first reaC Townsend
literature, thought it was much
like a fairy tale, but after careful
study l became deeply interested
in the movement and am now a
firm believer in HR4199 the bill
we want to see passed. Out of the
mouth of one of the representa-
tives of the people in the lower
house of congress came advice to
voters; which is to compel cam
didates for congress to pledge
themselves in writing to the
Townsend movement and the
speedy enactment of HR4199. You
know that around election time,
it is the great American game for
office seekers to pat their con-
stituents on the back and by rea-
son of that, the American people
in the past have elected public
officials who were not always true
and tried friends of the common
man. When l open my paper and
see the smiling face of a candid
ate for congress, to whom l have
written, asking his stand on this
question, and he hasn't had the
courtesy to answer my letter l
scratch his name from my list of
those for whom 1 am going to
vote.
Sincerely,
Mrs. j. p. Dunlap.

Schlieffen's disciples used the
Hannibal strategy against the
Russians at the battle of Tannen-
burg, withdrawing all but a small
screen of soldiers from the front
and crushing the Russian TANKS
to achieve a military masterpiece.
At the siege of Alesia, Caesar
built entertainments which had
bitches at some points 20 feet in
width. and depth. Where possible
a stream was turned into them.
Some of Caesars walls were IL
feet high, with parapets and num-
erouS towers.
The Bible Told How.
But probably the most striking
reproduction" of ancient strategy
occurred in Palestine in 1918. A
British division fighting the
Turks obtained from the Bible
and successfully used a battle
trick which was employed at the
lQentlcdl place Dy hlnS Saul ana
his Israelite warriors.
The objective was the capture
of village called Mickmash,
name that sounded familiar to
British major. Reading the Bible
by candlelight, he found the pas
sage describing SauPs victory in
Samuel 1, Chapters Is and IA.
He awoke his brigade comman-
der and read to him the story of
how Saul's son Jonathan and an
armor-bearer went through
narrow pass to gain command
ing position above the Philistines'
camp. The Philistines aWoke,
thought they were surrounded by
Saul's army and. fled in terror.
A company of British infantry,
advancing in the dead of night,
overpoWered small Turkish
guard in the pass and assembled to
the vantage point once held by
SauPs son. The Turks, thinking
they were surrounded by the
army Of General Allenby, fled in
disorder.

s Washington - Twenty-four
years ago today-July %, 1914
proud Austria declared war on
doughty little Serbia, touching
off the. war of wars.
Out of the titanic conflict,
which aligned % nations against
the four Central powers and
brought a grand mobilization of
100000 soldiers, there came
new and mighty engines of de-
struction, new tactics and new
masters in the art of warfare.
Yet Col. Oliver L. Spaulding,
veteran military historian and
chief of the historical section of
the u. S. Army war college, will
tell you that the World war was
planned and fought in large mea-
sure on the basis of lessons learn
ed from the old military masters,
several of whom had gone to the
warriors Valhalla long before the
birth of Christ. And if the Ger
mans had taken HannibaPs lesson
to heart, they might have won.
AS evidence that the science of
war was highly developed by the
ancientS, Colonel Spaulding
points out that
Hannibal Had A Plan
1. Many military experts today
believe Germany might have won
the war quickly if the younger
Moltke, commanding the first
western push, had followed COM
pletely the famous Schlieffen
plan, based on Hannibal's strategy
at the battle of Cannae in ZIG B.
C.
2. The World war immortalized
the Hindenburg line of concrete
entertainments but Julius Caesar,
who, incidentally, fought along
the Marine and Aisne rivers, en-
volved an elaborate system of
trenches built on scientific lines
long before.
8. The ancient Carthaginians
used elephants, posted in front of
the infantry as tanks were in the
World war, to break through the
enemy's front lines.
a. The World war produced
new tactical genius in Germany's
Ludendorff, but the ancient
Greeks had their Philopoemen,
father of the modern applicatory
system of tactical instruction.
Remember Alexander
5. For mastery execution of
swift, Well-coordinated punches,
the World war had Frances Mar
shall Foch. Yet 1900 years before
Foch, a Macedonian youth in his
twenties, named Alexander, was
as brilliant a performer in rolling
up the enemy's flanks and in
timing the Knockout punch.
Colonel Spaulding, in his alb
sorbing chapters on ancient COM
bat in the book Warfare" tells
how young Hannibal, blind in one
eye, allowed the Romans to press
his center almost to the breaking
point.
Then his crack infantry, which
had Unanswered well back on
both sides of the center, closed in
upon the fLanks of the Roman
wedge The Carthaginian cavalry,
hitting the Roman phalanx in the
rear, completed the wise. The Ro-
man army was cut to pieces.
Count Won Schlieffen, great pre-

staff, worked for more than 20
years evolving a plan to envelop

CUTTING WAGES AT THE FRS

sign OF business slump isn't wise because
it helps reduce buying power and contributes
to the vicious circle, but neither is it sound
to demand that an industry maintain high
wages once it is obviously slipping. Most
recent strikes have been the result of wage
cuts some of which were unwarranted but
most of the firms would not have risked
labor troubles had not conditions made the
cuts mandatory. If the employers could have
dealt directly with their workers, matters
might have been explained and peacefully
settled but the presence of labor organizers
complexities such situations and Widens any
small breach between owners and workers.

STATE LAW PROVIDES THAT NO
member of the legislature shall hold any
other office, except that he may be named
postmaster. Why this exception was made
we have no idea, but otherwise it is good
law. Minnesota or the Farmer-Labor party
for that matter isn't so hard up for capable
men that it is necessary to have men doubl-
ing in public office. It's a vicious practice
open to criticism from without as well as
within the party. 1t smells of IDEALS" to get

ri: FIGURES CREDITED TO THE IOWA
highway department give the cost of mains
tanning paved road (1937) as $40 per mile,
a graveled road as 1914, dirt road as $136
and bituminous, the most expensive of all,
$444 per mile. A blacktop road carrying
heavy traffic has to be torn up regularly
and relaid, an expensive process and one
which causes great inconvenience because
it is done during the summer when traffic
is at its peak. A popular tourist highway
like IL should be paved, with concrete.
