the war should be fought, and
anything else that you want to
know.
At dinner this evening, l met
"a young French officer who had
dragged his uniform out of the
trunk, and was on his way back
to rejoin his regiment. He was a
reServist, a lieutenant, and has
been in this country four years
with the exception of annual Wis
its to get in his service" periods.
During dinner he made one re-
mark that lodged in my memory.
"The French people,, he said,
mo longer think of the Germans
in the same vein that the war is
remembered. We feel sorry for
the German people. But we
shall soon be fighting them, and
the fighting will be all the more
terrible. We do not underesti-
mate the strength or the courage
of the Germans. They are great
fighters. But in the end of course
we and our allies will win.

Later he departed for Canada,
and soon will be on the high seas.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10 (AP).-
The early days of this war are
unfolding in New York like the
closing pages of an Ernest Hem
ingway novel. In Hemingway
novels people do a lot of walking
around and indulge in lot OF
spontaneous conversation.
The other night climbed into
an elevator and was on my way
to the 10th floor of a hotel. On
the way up l said to the operator,
man of about so: What do you
think about the war;"
That was a mistake. He turned
on me and began gesturing excit-
eddy. There will be no war.
Germany will stop it. If England
and France would let Germany
alone there would be no trouble
. He said ten times this much in
half the time it has taken you to
read this little. He had me back
ed into a corner. / didn't know
whether he would hit me or not.
Ten minutes later l came down
in the elevator, unfortunately,
with the same man, but | did not
mention the war, or anything
else. Outside / met a couple of
people | knew with several !
didn't know, arguing on a curb.
1t was Russia this, and France
that, and Mr., Chamberlain the
other. Not a one of them knew
the exact tactics to pursue to
win the war. Each of them knew
exactly why one side or the other
would lose. A taxi driver, a to-
tai stranger, leaned out of his cab
and yelled, You're all nuts, and
so is everybody nuts, me too,
and drove on. His radio was
blasting cut a barrage of news
reports from Warsaw.
In the book stores it is hard to
get copies of books by the war
correspondents-"Days Of Our
Years, or Inside Asia, for in

and other countries, in moments
of extreme crisis. The war here
has the horrible fascination of a
snake. 1t has broken down the
vast, impersonal feeling that New

Rear Admiral Yates Stirling brays a
call for America to get into any war right
at the start He retired three years ago
on a fat pension for life. What has Am
erica to show for her last entangling al
lance? Long rows of white crosses in
France; graves of soldiers in American
cemeteries; thousands of wounded and in
capacitated men, many still being hos
pitalized; besides the billions the World
War has cost us, there are billions of IOU's
in the Federal Treasury which will never
be paid. The American people have not
forgotten, Mnemosyne will see to it that
we remember and in that remembrance
lies our security and salvation.

The people of the United States seem
to be as bitterly opposed to the changing

third term. President Roosevelt is finding
it as difficult to break the precedence of
Thanksgiving Day as he will find breaking
the third-term precedent.

about, it is pointed out.
