Two Top Teams
From the South there are at
least two teams that stand better
than average chances of getting a
nod for some post-season football
game. First there's Tennessee,

Hfore the footbowl season is over.
i Closer This Time
Last year the Citadel defeated
EWofford 21-2 in Wilmington, with
little Graham Edwards, the home
town boy, being responsible Tor
all the scores in the, game
Yesterday at Orangeburg, the
Cadets had a tough. time of it beat
ing the Terriers 7-2.
L And the odd thing about tn e
games is that the only scores Wof-
ford has scored in the two. games
have been safeties. Last year here
Fit was Edwards who was tackled
behind the goal line for the two
!, points earned by the Methodists.
This year it was Hank Foster who
.set up the safety, his punt being
Blocked by a Terrier. 81,
The game yesterday was closer,
than the one a year ago and the
Cadets had to bring out their
nifty passing attack to win.

ing there should berno dearth~ of

The New Hanover high S C h o o l

they're too tired out to hold their
opponents. AS witness yester-

SYMPATHY NOTE

ler's visits to Franco and Marshal
Petain were attributable to weak
ness. 1t had been suggested at first
that his visits meant That he was
already assured of new success.
There was feeling also that
Hitler's visit was a confession that
Germany had lost the battle OF
Britain. Foreign military attaches
increasingly believed that the dam
ger of an invasion of Britain this
year had passed just as his hope
of smashing Britain from the air
within a few weeks had faded.
Some diplomats went SO far as to
say that the world had not yet real
lied that Germany had suffered the
first great reverse to its arms and its
strategic plans.
Suggestions that Hitler's- talks
were intended to distract attention
from the Balkans in preparation for
a blitzkrieg there were secuted. 1t
was limited in Russian circles that
Russia had advised Germany against
attempts to extend its power to Bull
garia and Turkey, the implication
being that Russia would not be in
different to German advance be-
yond Rumania.
British confidence was further
buoyed by the absence of any indi-
cation that France had agreed to
barter its fleet or its Mediterranean
bases for Axis favor.
British sources have received
hints that when Hitler suggested
cession by France or all or part of
French Morocco to Spain Benito
Mussolini objected, holding that
Africa was primarily Italy's sphere
of influence.
Diplomatic quarters would not be
surprised if Germany soon pro-
claimed French and Spanish enlist
ment in new order" program and
coupled it with peace appeal"
the alternative being intensified
war on Britain.

Salute Caesar?
To the millions of young men who
have registered for selective mill
tary service, you, who may be about
to die in foreign war, created at
the within of an international med
dler, should you salute your
Caesar?"
To Christians, "why should you

modern sorcery of war mongering?"

Back in Fold
Lewis bolt returned him to former
political mooringS. He supported
Calvin Coolidge against John w.
Davis in 1924 and Herbert c. Hoover
against Alfred E. Smith in 1928. He
was inactive in 1882, but in 1886 his
CLIO advanced $4,000 in loans and
gifts to the Roosevelt campaign and
labor's non-partisan league per-
formed mighty political services.
Lewis is president of the league.
Lewis and the labor vote helped
swing Pennsylvania to Mr.. Roose-
welt in 1936-first time that state
went democratic since the Repub-
lican party was founded. Repub-
ncans hope now that Lewis pres

the industrial states of the mid

for Germany, control of the Medi-
terranean would not be decisive
factor in winning the war. Only
the conquest of England, herself,
will accomplish the accomplish the
Nazi purpose, he said.
Russia's Pole
In regard to the Mediterranean,
however, Valeur said that one can
not reckin without Russia and her
interest in the control of the OAR
danelles. According to Alexander
Kerensky, former Russian president,
the Sovietss game is to try to lure
the United States into a war with
Japan, but remain profitably and
powerfully neutral herself, Valeur
said. He added that, in his own
opinion, the enormous German ex-
panSion in the Balkans toward the
DardenelleS will make Russia more
sincerely friendly toward the Unit
ed States and Great Britain.
Mr.. Valeur, who gave his lecture
in French, concluded with the hope
that the defeat of France would
set an example to those who are
passionately attached to the "old
fashioned" democracies. The hope
of the future, he declared, is a
militant democracy, willing to Sa-
crif1ce, whose watchword is that of
the French Revolution, Liberty or
Deathp

There was no sign of planes and

there is considerable pressure to
pave the way for the appointment
of at least some new firemen next
year.
1t is the budget directors belief
that the present fire force is ade-
quate in numbers to allow each man
to have one free day week. Should
his recommended budget be adopted,
it would then be the problem of the
board of fire commissioners to adopt
a time-off plan.
One proposal under consideration
is that a replacement squadron be
set up, its members to substitute for
men with the day of, and moving
daily from house to house. The
personnel Of this squadron would
be changed every few months, in

New Deal is taking the country into
war, because he believes it has
failed to solve urgent problems, be-

recognition after 1886 and because it
