They rigged 1t out in ceremony and beauty They made It seem attractive, even heroic. But 1t wasn't. It was ugly and barbarous and she hated 1t.
 She thought of Queensville, where the old, ivy-covered buildings sprawled across the campus. Mel- lowed by tradition, they spoke elo- quently of knowledge. The broad sweep of history. The young men who walked the streets of Queens vile were being taught to think, and to reason, and to understand. But here. these low white buildings were unutterably different. Once this place had been a fort. It was still fortress of battle. Battle brought up to date, made infinitely more dreadful In it's implications Here the young men who walked the streets were being trained for other things.

 After.a while, Linda drifted out to the porch. There were great white stars overhead, and the warm tropical night was so beau- tiful that she put her head against post and stared out, dreamily, to where a palm tree swayed against the sky.
 "Queensville was never like this," she murmured, half aloud. "Oh, how lovelyl"
 "Queensville?" asked a mascu- line voice beside her, startlingly. There's no navel base there, l bet!"
 "Ohl" she jumped: and turned around quickly. A tall man in uniform was smiling down at her His lean. tanned face, and the look in his brown eyes did something strange to her heart.

The university at home was more democratic. You could wear glasses and be knock-kneed; all they asked was that you possess a mind capable of learning.

 Linda didn't answer. A spurt of white water rose like geyser from the glinting bay as a ship dived and bombed. She caught her breath and turned away.

 "Pll say it is!' Marcia answered. "The toughest air course in the world. Baby we turn out flyers ?! Pride rang in her voice.

Fair Admirer Pens Poem To | Col. Ed Hickey

Although Superintendent of State Police Edward J. Hickey ob- jects strenuously to the title colonel" which the general as- sembly affixed to his office, he will undoubtedly read with pleasure poem written by local female ad- mirer who prefers to remain un- known.
 The brief passage, submitted to The Democrat for publication, is as follows:
 TO COLONEL HICKEY (From an Ardent Admirer) He's gentle and kind but with
 strength and might, Duty is ever his password. Tho justice is served; for justice Is
 right,
 With mercy and kindness it's
 tempered. He stands aces high with both
 friend and foe,
 Feared by breakers of orders. And proud we should be to have such as he,
 Dispensing protection to others. This land of our has need for
 such,
 In this age of corruption in off,
 flee And we should thank our Gov
 ernOr much,
 For one so fit and able. Tho Hickey's fame has travelled
 far
 As one who "gets his man," To us who know he gets for each, Justice if he can. He's one to swell his parents
 hearts
 With accomplishment and pride For what he is and what he'll
 be
 Was started by their side. Tho they have passed beyond the Of life, of care, of woe They left behind their handiwOrk And heaven grant-they know.

Neutrality
Continued From First Page.)

ALL We might be abandoning much
or even all of our shipping trade
for nothing. Would it not serve all
of our purposes in such cases not
absolutely to prohibit such ship
ments, but to serve notice on our
people and the world that the Amer
ican flag will not protect them?"
Sanctions Have Failed.
To the worlds past experience in
efforts to enforce neutrality, the
financier ascribed failure in general.
The worlds effort toward an in
ternational agreement under which
neutrals were forbidden to deal with
belligerents, that method being
called economic sanctions, has failed
Sanctions are acts of war The op-
posite-complete neutrality in which
efforts are made to preserve the
friendship of warning powers by the
neutrals-also have been failures"
Developing his position in favor OF
placing all American goods in a
cash and carry wartime category,
Mr.. Baruch declared:
ITO prohibit one type of export
war weapons) without prohibiting
the other food is a legalistic
formula that I think is devoid of
real justice To embargo the sale
of implements of war, under condi-
tions that now exist, might be the
means of cementing into power the
stronger nations and reducing
weaker nations to slavery or worse.
I'VE are trying to meet conditions
existent at the moment We are
not trying to legislate for all time

cumstances that now justify this
revision should change, the law can
be changed.

Questioning the belief that We
must participate in any European
war. MI. Baruch said:
II venture to believe that this
country or this hemisphere can
escape involvement In European
conflict and we can do this without
burying our head in the sand; we
can still raise our voice against
faithlessness and brutality.
Formidable Barriers.
you will hear it said that if we do
not go in of our own volition, our
turn will come next. 1t is true that
our barriers of sea water have been
narrowed by science and invention.
But they are still formidable. 1t is
incredible that without almost COM
plete domination of the water and
sky of both the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans military attack truly
threatening in force could be
launched against this hemisphere
from either Europe or Asia.
Our defeat here certainly can
never happen if we maintain de-
fense adequate to prevent it,"
Turning to his proposed prohibi-
tion against war loans, the financier
warned:
by neither loans nor any kind
OF credit should we finance a nation
at War-no matter how our sympa-
thies may be involved. To refuse
credit to all impartially is within
our rights as beyond all question it
is true neutrality. Refusal
to finance foreign wars is clearly
means to keep us out of war"
IsolatiOnists Active.
Before today's session, it was ap-
parent that the isolationist bloc in
the Senate was determined to wage
the legislative battle of the year over
current efforts to transfer greater
discretion in foreign affairs to the
President.
In the forefront of this resistance
to American participation. even by
indirection, in the quarrels of the
