enemy where you can. And France
can hit Germany Evidently Hitler's
idea was that his Siegfried line would
hold his Western front secure while
the French marked time in their
defensive Maginot line. Therefore,
the German army faces an enemy on
two fronts, which reduces the odds
in numbers against the Poles.
Will the French army-the army
of always the attack"-sit still?
That Maginot line does not con-
template the defensive alone. It per-
mits the French ramy to make the
most of an offensive opening. Ger
many may have to move troops from
the Eastern to the Western front.
She will have an enormous drain on

The French and British hands are
not yet disclosed. They too have
powerful air forces. They can strike
at vital points In Germany, whose
anti-aircraft defenses are not yet
adequate. That may divert German
air forces from the Polish front. And
the British navy also has air forces.

He Came Despite

Mayor Zivadin Stevanovich of
Brestovac, Yugoslavia, doesn't regret
his visit to America, even with a
European war threatening to cut
him off from his native village.
The mayor sold two precious acres
OF his hard-won farm to visit the
country he had heard described so
often, and he is determined to make
the most of the opportunity, and
perhaps return with a message of
hope.

an interpreter from his Legation,
lis the hope of democratic countries
OF Southern Europe! Perhaps
America can save Europe from de-
stroying all her liberty"
The sturdy visitor from the heart
of Yugoslavia was enthusiastic in his
praise of the United States-in five
weeks he has seen more of it than
many natives see in lifetime. The
great buildings and factories, the
fine highways and the people living
In freedom impressed him with the
possibilities of America as a world
force for peace.
Silent on DictatOrs.
Mayor Stevanovich, for obvious
reasons, would not discuss the die
tators who surround his country on
three sides-Hitler, Stain and Mus

terpreter, "is between three fires"

the outlook in Europe. They felt
the war might last S. even 10, years.

forced into the conflict. Mussolini
has annexed Albania to the south
OF Yugoslavia. and on the north
the German border may be ex-
tended through Nazi penetration of
Hungary.
The Mayor, inspired by stories
OF the wonders of America he has
heard since youth from the lips of
returning countrymen, sold 2 of the
30 acres on which he grows apples,
pears, grapes and livestock, and set
out for the United States through
Germany and France. He arrived
in New York July Is to see the
Worlds Fair.

village of 1000, was received by
