peace dictated by Hitler, and that
there will be no peace until what
London calls Hitlerism has been
completely crushed. That is plain
and fOrceful. England does not
want to bargain, and whatever
other war aims the British empire
may have, the outstanding one
is the complete destruction of the
theology of Hitlerian nazism.
From the standpoint of the British
government, there is nothing to ne
gotiate about. There is only one
guiding or determining wish, and
that is to eliminate that political
philosophy which has spelled ruin
to numerous countries since the first
days of September, 1889.
Vanished Nations.
Today it is just about fourteen
months since the second world war
began. It has, so far, resulted in
the disappearance of a number of
independent and freedom-loving ma
tions-Poland, Norway, Denmark,
H Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg,
France, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania
and Rumania. Unless supported,
Greece may have to share the fate
of these countries. A short time be-
fore the outbreak of the war Austria,
Czechoslovakia and Albania had van
ished from the map of Europe.
If the dictatOrs keep on hav-
ing their way, there can be little
doubt that in short time at
tempts will be made to destroy
the last remaining Independent
nations of the Old World.
Serious Problems.
The Italo-Greek war, start e
Enthusiastically without any decla-
ration of war on the part of the ag-
flagration greater than any ever
known before in that habitually tur-
bulent corner of Europe.
Certain it is, at all events, that
Germany and Italy are anxious
to penetrate the entire Balkan
peninsula in an effort to get at
the British controlled Suez ca
nal, and to crush British power
in the Middle East and in the
Mediterranean.
Watch the Balkans, for you never
can predict what will happen there
and you cannot foresee the ramifi-
cations of a major conflict on that
peninsula.
Bombs.
While expansion of the war zone
now is taking place, the German
British air war continues. There
was lull for few days when the
Germans either could not bomb Lon
don or did not want to waste bombs
on city which, at best, will require
years to take. But the British in
tensified their attacks on Germany
and on German positions in occupied
countries, thus making it more and
more improbable that Hitler will in
wade the British Isles in the near
| future.
1t is quite plain that something
has gone wrong with the plans OF
Hitler and Mussolini; therefore, the
new desperation and this weeks con-
ference between the two autocrats.

Editor ASkOV American:
1 saw several letters in your paper
recently that stated that President
Roosevelt pulled us out of the de-
preston. He put thousands upon
thousands of people on the govern
ment payroll and doubled the cost
of government.
In order to get the labor vote he
handed us the social security law,
one of the most unjust cutthroat laws
for the small business man and in
order to get the farmer vote he
handed us the soil conservation pro-
gram. If anybody ever knew how
to buy votes with other peoples
money it is Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Unlike the Bemidji Pioneer editor
we don't believe that "Hjalmar Peter

charged the Stassen administration

"The Hjalmar Petersen blast at the
Anoka tornado relief fund did the

is always bad business for any adj

However, the younger generation

grant you Moe Berg's ability as
a scholar but where does this
baseball player business enter into
the picture? They had never seen
him play and furthermore they
had never even seen his name i'm
the Iine-ups. So how come, they
ask with righteous indignation,
does Berg come by his baseball
glory?
Before we go into the story of
Berg as a baseball player, sup
pose we preface it by saying that
when the immortals of the dia-
mond are enumerated, it will be
doubtful if the name Of Moe Berg
will receive even passing men
ton. Berg was a good player,
never a great one. He was a big
league short-stop and catcher in
the years between 1880 and 1885

Sox and the Boston Red Sox and
the Washington Senators. At pres

bonnie, and Immediately set about
the business of getting hired by
some minor league club. He packed
his diplomas and his knowledge
of Sanskrit literature which he
had picked up in his Continental
browsings in a strong solution of
camphor and donned the spikes
of a common laborer in the BUSH
leagues. But still the professors
hoped that some day he would re-
turn to them.
After two years in the grape
fruit circuits he was bought by
the Chicago White SOx as a short
stop. Naturally he didn't get a
Varsity berth the first year up
with the majors but he fieIded
well enough and hit hard enough
to stick with the White SOx for
several seasons as a utility in
fielder. One day a series of COIN
cidenceS left the Chicago club
with no visible catcher on the ac-
tive list. 1 believe Ray SchaIk, a
catcher himself, was the manager
of the club at the time, and he
looked up and down the players
bench, wondering whom he could
put behind the ylate. AS we have
said Moe was utility infielder
and his future in that capacity
didn't seem any too bright. In
fact, all he could see ahead was
several seasons in the shadow of
the dugOut. So he grasped this sud-
den opportunity, stepped forward

Honor Student At Princeton. .
When Moe Berg was a student
at Princeton University some
twelve or thirteen years ago, he
was a constant worry to his pro-
fessOrS. The prOfs were delighted
at the genius this young Jewish
student displayed in his ability to
pick up foreign languages and
stood in awe of the briIliance of
the yOungster as a classical schO-
lar. In all he was professors
dream come true. But why the
worry? Well, Moe showed a bent
for athletics and seemed to show
as much talent as a shOrt-stOp on
the University baseball team as
he did as a student in the class
room. This wouldn't have been half
bad but the prOfS who had hoped
that Berg would choose an aca-
demic life i'm some institution of
learning as a professor of Ian
guageS or a career i'm the dipIO-
matte corps because of his shrewd-
ness and his facility to converse
in French, Spanish, German, ItaI-
ian, Hebrew and Yiddish but Berg
appalled, the entire faculty by in
timating that he would like to play
big league baseball for a couple
OF years before settling down to
the armchair life of a diStin-
guished member of some colleges
faculty.
His last year at Princeton reads
very much like a Hollywood script.
He was the campus idol as well as
captain of the Nassau Nine that
slugged its way to more than a re-
spectful perch in the Ivy League
circuit. Hin success as student
had been recognized with his cleo
ton to Phi Beta Kappa in his jul
nior year but at commencement
he received a Rhodes Scholarship
and another grant to enable him
to spend year at the Sorbonne
in Paris. These last items were the
final hopes of his teachers. They
prayed that with three thousand
miles of water between this bril-
liant lad and the baseball dia-
monds of America he m g h
change his mind about career
in big league baseball. But it was
all wishful thinking. Moe, at that
time known as Morris, returned

honors from Oxford and the Sor-

these scattered Catholics met only
about once a month at the homes of
various members of the church. How
ever, within less than 10 years after
the chance visit of Father Dechant
a church building was erected in
Bluffton.
Money for the church was donated
by Owens at the request of his son,
Paris, who died from fever in the
Civil war. The son had often ex-
pressed his desire for church, and
money received by his father at the
close of the war was turned over to
the church building committee.
BUILT IN 1865
The elder Owens also contributed
5000, and at the close of 1865 the
frame building was completed at a
cost of approximately $1,000. In
1869 Bishop Rapp, of Cleveland, ded-
icated the structure.
Changes occurred slowly in the
little parish altho alterations in the
building were effected with the pas
sage of years. In 1890 the spir'
was added, and under Father Doer

ner the building was enlarged by the
addition of the present sanctuary
and sacristics. The altar was do
mated by Father Doerner's house
keeper, Miss Lena Dell.
During the 52-year period follow
ing the building of the church,
priests from Findlay, Fostoria and
Columbus Grove cared for the little
flock of worshippers, altho it was
often difficult for them to cover al
most impossible roads.
FATHER DoERNER REMEMBERED
Father Doerner, who tended the
charge for % years, stands out as a
jealous worker for the church during
that period. All members taken into
the church between 1881 and 1909
were baptised by this priest who
cared diligently for the parish in ad-
dition to his larger congregation in
Findlay.
Some of the families connected
with the parish in the early days
were the Gromanns, the Baumgart-
ners, Stienhauers, Owens, Allerdings
Kienes, Karsts, Rinemans, Fishers
Huttingers, Woolridges, Laibes, Her
manns and Witkofskis.
In 1917 the care of the st. Marys
Parish was transferred to the Re-
