THEY LEARNED SOMETHING

1t is often said that Europe learned nothing from
the World War. The nature of the peace made in
1919 suggests this The shortsghted, bitter policy of
France in the 192Os affrms it, The warmongering of
the German and italian Governments in recent years
further emphasizes it. Yet smaller lessons have
been learned at least with respect the waging of
One of the greatest plumbers of the was the
policy of attack pursued relentessly by the French
General Staff In 1914 and 1915 the French high COM
mand knew only one formula for waging war-to
attack attack and attack again. Blind to the mean
ing of trench warfare and to the evil genius of the
machine gun the Generals sacrificed thousands upon
thousands of young men III offensive operations that
gained nothing
That will not happen again. Thousands, hun
dreds of thousands may indeed be sacrificed But it
will be through error of judgment, not the
old one
The British made somewhat different blunder
equally tragic They called for volunteers in 1914
and 1915 and sent the flower of their youth to death
in the trenches. Men who might have served with
special talents in special roles sent to carry rifles
England today is preparing to conscrip its power;
and is registering with scientific and other skills
for service that will best utilize their talents.
A less obvious but still costly bunder the fail
ure OF french 10 JOINT
mand Not until the last year of the World War did
the jealous Generals of the nations swallow their
prejudices and put one man at the head of their
united forces If comes again. there will be one
commander, Frenchman already chosen, undoubted-
ly-to direct all the land armies. And there will be
one British Admiral to command both fleets
These may seem petty matters beside the colossal
stupidity and cruelty of itself. Yet if is to
be, there is satisfaction in knowing that few OF
the most shocking blunders Of the last struggle will
not be repeated.

W. I. HALE IS DEAD
AT WRANGELL HOME

Wrangell is shrouded in gloom
from the sudden passing of one of
its most sterling citizens, w. T.
Hale, secretary treasurer of the
Wrangell Packing Company, who
died shortly before o'clock this
morning from heart seizure, says
the Wrangell Sentinel of August
IL.
With Mrs Hales nephew, James
Nolan, he was on his way to the
cannery when he collapsed near
the Sentinel office on Front Street
He was taken to his home where
he died without having regained
consciousness.
Mrs. Hale will take his body
south for interment at Seattle
where they have made their WIN
ter home for the past ten years.
Mr.. Hale was uuIu in Liverpool,
Cal, 81 years ago. For nearly so
years he had been connected with
salmon packing in Alaska, his first
experience having been gained in
Bristol Bay and Boring Sea.
He was superintendent of the
North Pacific Trading and Pack
ing Company at KlaWock from
1912-1927 The next two years he
was interested in plant in Mon
terey, Cal In 1929 he Wrangell
Packing Company was formed with
F. S. Barnes as president and Mr.
Hale as secretary-t treasurer.
He has been a fine citizen of
Wrangell. His work with Mr. Barnes
in keeping the cannery a going
concern through all the trials and
tribulatiOnS which beset the SAL
mon packers of this district, has
meant much to the economic life
of Wrangell. Many families derive
the major portion of their living
from the cannery payroll. His
workers all regarded him as a per-
sonal friend and grieve his death.
Mr.. Hale is survived by his wife
to whom he was married "a years
ago, two sisters in Oakland, Cal.
and his nephew Elwyn Hale of Sar
Francisco, son of Mr.. Hale {
brother, c. P. Hale, Bristol Bay
canneryman, who died a year ago

Marking another advance in the
development of one of Juneau's in

spany began the manufacturing of
soda water. The new company re-
ported that the product had made
hit wherever it had been intro
duced for sale and that the plant
has been kept busy filling the orders.
A post of the American Legion
formed of eX-Service men was to be
organized in Juneau at a meeting in
the office of Major H. G. DeVighne.
Messrs. Leehey and Semmes, who

philadelphia Record
John L, Lewis attack upon Vice President Garner
sounded exactly like run-of- the-mine Tory attack
on President Roosevelt
We thought Lewis was smarter
Gamers best friend couldn't have done HIM any
greater political service than Lewis did by denouncng
not Gamers political method, but his personal habits
Maybe it was the proximity of Mars as some have
suggested, or the heat, others charltaoy explain
but our own bunch is that Lewis became intoxicated
by the sound of his phrases 1t happens that they
are lust about as rhythmic as they are inept
a labor batting poker playing, whisky drink
ing, evil old mani"
And one of the most bitter hymns of hate ever
sung from a Congressional rostrum:
Il am against him individually personally con-
cretey and in the abstract am against him IN 1899
and will be against him in 1910.
No wonder Garner chuckled.
It was the biggest boost that reactionary leader
has had since friends launched his hitherto feeble
boom for the Presidency
The office of the Vice Presidency calls for certain
respect That does not in the slightest bar criticism
of the Vice President (any more than of the Presi-
denD but it does dictate that phrase their crit-
cism decenty and keep it in fair territory.
1t was below the belt to cry whisky drinking. 1t
was below the belt to cry poker playing"
That's why there is such a terrific reaction
John Lewis is one of Americas greatest labor
leaders. He has his many successes by conduct
ing his man-to-man relations in decent kindly way
But Thursday he went completely out OF character.
The ranks of the CLIO or the American Bankers
Association would be thin indeed if they purged
of every man who tok hghball who liked to sit in
on a round of draw" cor stud"
Gamers personal habits are not an issue.
Gamers acts in public life are an issue. And If
Lewis had remained on that fair ground he could have
scored telling point against conservative in New
Deal clothing.
Strange how men, even experienced leaders forget
both the power of words and the force of silence.
The record of Vice President Garner particularly
shows the less he has said the better off he has
found himself One of the secrets of his success in
knitting the New Deal has been in doing much-and
saying little.
Yet there was one occasion when Garner spoke
shall we say overmuch? No doubt he regrets those
words today We refer of course to his acceptance
speech at the Democratic National Convention in
Philadelphia in 1886 Here is what Garner said then:
Il am a soldier and my duty is to follow where the
commander leads l shall stand with him tRoose-
velt) in the months ahead Franklin Deano Roo
sevelt is my leader my commander in-chief. In this
presence before this multitude and with the stars of
heaven to bear witness to my covenant, renew the
pledge of featy gave four years ago.
Perhaps if Cactus Jack" had not made quite as
bombastic pledge OF loyalty to the President-his
