I'VE all know that the treaty Of Ver-

War led to all the trouble In Eu-

"The moral application of this
treaty was conceived by members
Of the shell-shocked intelligensia"
whose sentimental pacificism" led
them to turn their backs on reality,
the speaker said.
WARS of the future will be de-
fensive wars. The only result will
be futile slaughter. If they are not
lunatics, why do they keep sending
the youth of the world to inevitable

Rickenbacker Hopes U. 5.
Is Spared Horrors Of War

A fervent hope that the youth Of
America may be spared the horrors
of another war was made yesterday
by Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker before
the athers'-and-sons' day luncheon
Of the Washington Rotary Club, at
which boys from the Georgetown
Boys Club were also guests.
Il shudder at the thought of my
two boys being forced to go through
what went through in 1917 and
1913" said Capt. Rickenbacker, who
was an air ace in the World War,

credited with 26 victories. In con-
sidering future action, we must think
seriously, he declared, of those boys
who must bear the burden Of war.
Capt. Rickenbacker also made a
plea to fathers to recognize their
obligations to their sons and to make
them their pals"
Among the guests at the luncheon,
held in the Willard Hotel, were Ossie
Bluege of the Washington Senators
and Charlie Malone of the Redskins,
who spoke briefly; Nick Altrock,
Senators coach; Jack Hader, wres-
tier; Jack Hagerty, Georgetown

ers, devoting their time and thought
to alternating the suferings Of the
civilian populations.
The planned excavations Of en-
tire villages is q phase Of this pres
ent war which has come within the
scope Of the committee headed BY
Anne Morgan. Trainloads Of women,
children and sick people had to be
supervised, and here the devotion OF
the trained nurses and voluntary
helpers was called upon. With the
prospects of spending 48 hours TO
cover Q distance Of some 100 miles,
all these people had to be med and
comforted In some way or another.
SO far as the nurses are concern
ed, these journeys often mean con-
tinuous duty.
The approach Of winter and all
It's miseries brought Anne Morgan
to Paris recently to buy and beg
supplies for her people, Blankets,
camp beds, stoves-the three most
essential elements Of life-are de-

Paris, and once q week well-filled

the contents are urgently needed
and a1lxiously expected.
Anne Morgan Is also planning
nurseries and school canteens for the
children, as she knows both are Of
paramount Importance to the rising
generation. She Is starting these at
Elerancourt, but hopes to be able TO
install others wherever they are
most needed.

PariS.-When Hitler marched into
Poland, Anne Morgan was vacation
ing In Sweden. She Immediately re-
turned to France. For Anne Nor
gan, war work was starting up all
over again and there was no time to
be lost.
Last March, when the situation
took on an even more olninous turn,
she saw General Gamelin, COM
mander Of the French armies, and
asked him whether her services and
those Of her organization would be
helpful to France.
He replied that she could be not
only useful, but most necessary, and
the Comite de Secours Civil (Com-
niittee for Civilia Help was there
and then placed directly under the
aegis Of the French Army, with all
the attending privileges and regula-
tions.
''UNSPECTACULAR"
BUT EFFICIENT
The work Of the Comite de Sc
cours Civil may be "unspectacular"
as Anne Morgan herself describes
1t, but Its value is most highly
priced, not only by the authorities,
but by the people who benefit from
It. Quietly, efficiently, but with an
unequalled understanding Of the
sufferings and needs Of civilians In
war zones, the efforts Of this small
group spell social service In the
widest sense Of the word.
To Anne Morgan's organization
the peasant populations Of the
northern and eastern provinces OF
France owe a deep debt OF grati-
ttide which they have never forgot
ten. From 1915 to long after the
signing Of the Peace Treaty, she
looked after them, helped them IN
the reconstruction Of their farms
and houses, fed the children and
tended the aged.
She Is now preparing to do the
same work all over again In this
war, and, as q matter OF fact, her
problems have increased, faced
as she Is with the horrors Of evac-
uation, the new danger to civilian
populations through aerial warfare,
and all the sufferings and hear
breaks that would follow. She and
her helpers are ready to face them
all.
