VICTOR NOT "REAL"
1--WE appeal to general reason
Germany wanted TO revise
the Versailles treaty peacefully, If
possible even our enemies
knew it was impossible to hold
this situation forever.
"Germanys peaceful attempts
at revision did not succeed. Ger
many did not recognize the legality
of this treaty because the victor
was not real victor our
downfall was due to poor leader
ship.
National socialism wanted to
free German from Versailles, as
well as from the chains of the
demo-plutocratic system. In actual
fact, this revision had to be
forced through against the wills
of the French and British rulers"
ACCUSES 2 NATIONS
Turing to events leading up to
the present war, Hitler said:
II asked from Poland some
thing no other German statesman
could have dared. l asked for the
- old
vinces. they only with plebiscite.
II Churchill and the war monsers
felt half the responsibility toward
Europe that I did. they never
would have started the war.
"on Sept. 2. 1889, war still could
have been avoided. The British
and French wanted war, however
they wanted a three-year war,
in order to reap profits from their
war investments"
RECALLS APPEAL"
After alleging that the Germans
had obtained possession of docu-
ments proving the Vaccinations
of the war mongers" aimed at the
spread of war in Finland, Scan
dinavia, the Balkans and the
bombardment of Baku and Batum,
Hitler said that after is days,
the Polish campaign ended. Then

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

When Welcome Robin told Peter
Rabbit that many of his feathered
friends travel at night on their way
to the sunny Southland, Peter re-
membered that he had been told
something of that kind before. But
he couldn't remember just why it
was that these little travellers chose
the night for their long journey.
So right away he was full of ques-
tions. 1t was fortunate for him that
Welcome Robin was feeling very
good-natured
you see," explained Welcome, "a
great many OF the little feathered
people go a very, very great dis
tance."
What is a very, very great dis
tance?" asked Peter. 1T is twice as
far as from here to the Old Pasture?
Is it twice as far as can see?"
Welcome laughed right out.
Peter" said he" if you should run
all day and all night every day
and every night for hundred days
and hundred nights you wouldn't
travel as far as Hummer and Hum
ming bird goes to spend the winter.
You wouldn't travel as far as Tiny
the Warbler goes to spend the win
ter That is what I mean by a very,
very great distance"
Peters eyes popped out and his
ears flew up and his mouth few
open. Peter swallowed very hard.
Once again Welcome Robin laughed.
Does it 60 down as hard as all
that?" he asked.
Peter nodded. Il" he began.
Now don't say you don't believe
it." interrupted Welcome Robin.
Because you know 1 always tell
the truth"
Again Peter nodded. my but
wings are wonderful things. aren't
they?" he gasped. Then without
waiting for a reply he added, But
why do the feathered folk travel at
night? I should think it would be
ever so much easier to travel by
day. Besides one could see more
then" Now wasn't that just like
Peter Rabbit to be thinking of what
he could see? I'm afraid if Peter
was to try to spend the winter in
the sunny Southland he never
would get there, because curiosity
would stop him so often to see
things.
1--WE travel at night" replied We'll
come Robin, because it is safer to
do so then. Think it over, Peter,
and see if you can guess why 1t is
safer to travel at night"

Silence Creuky Stairs

Creaky stairs may be silenced by
mailing headless finishing nails
through the treads into the risers
below them. The tread is the fiat
step of a stair; the riser is the ver-
tical piece at the back of each tread.
The nails used should be two and
one-half to three inches in length.
They should slant alternately to left
and to right as they are nailed in
place. Two may be enough. After
counters sinking, the nailholes should
be filled with plastic wood or putty
and tinted to match the woodwork.

Naugatuclx, July Is. - Sixty women
are now enrolled in the local Red
Cross surgical dressings classes and
report at the local chapter house
each Wednesday and Thursday.
Some members are on duty an en-
tire day. and others spend morn
ing or an afternoon at the work.
Surgical dressings are a very vital
part of the war relief program Of the
Red Cross and are also invaluable
in the hospital work carried on con-
tinuously by this organization in
the United States. The local perma-
nent surgical dressings committee
carries on the assignment each year
to supply the peace time needs,
although on a smaller scale.
Mrs. H. David Ward, chairman of
the surgical dressings group here,
today expressed her appreciation for
the response to the recent appeal
for voluntary workers.
Because of the increasing need for
surgical dressings, more volunteers
are needed and it is possible that
evening classes will be organized
early In the fall, Mrs. Ward said.

throughout the contest the Trojans
and the Gamma quintets eliminated
the Majors and the Naugatuck Sons
Of Poland last night at the Boys
club In intermediate tournament
games. Both games were deadlocked
at half time but In each instance
the winner had the greater second
half punch and remained in the
running for valley honors. In the
first game the Trojans defeated the
Majors AZ to 80, with Rose and La
vallo tossing the ball up too often
for the Majors hopes. In the second
game the Gammas fought hard to
protect a slim last quarter lead to
turn back the Naugatuck outfit 20
to ~. The entire Gamma gang
played a good game Of ball and for
the Naugatuck clan Szeznil and Nc
Dermott did most of the scoring.
No league contests are scheduled
for this evening but tomorrow night
the local Collegians will meet the

BENNY MASTER
|. MIND OF PREPS
FOR JOE LOUIS
Secret Drills Recall Days
of Carpenter; Leonard
Scouts Champ Today
By JACK CUDDY


UNITED Press staff Correspondent
Pompton Lakes, N. j., March 26.
(UP)-Two mysterious strangers
were in camp today for the final
act In Johnny Paychek'S secret
preparations for Friday nights title
night with Champion Joe Louis.
These strangers were described by
Master-Mind Benny Leonard as
two well-known heavyweights-one
from Ohio and the other from
PennSylvania-who, before night
fall, will % through secret battles
with Johnny. These workouts will
be real fights, but with big gloves,
Of course"
The mystery pair arrived yester-
day and were kept closeted in a
room so that visiting newspaper
men and minor camp attaches could
not get a gander at them.
Leonard, the former lightweight
king, explained, their identity will
not be revealed for two reasons.
First, since both boys are good pro-
fessional fighters and not sparring
partners, they don't want 1t known
that they worked as sparmates. Sec
ondly, we want their Identities to
remain secret so that outsiders can
not question them about Paychek's
battle plans. They are friends OF
mine who have come here to do me
q favor"
Secret Stuff
Today's stunt is the climax of the
greatest undercover conditioning
campaign for any challenger since
Carpenter gromed for Dempsey
back in 1921. Half of Paychek's
preparations have been conducted
during secret workouts.
In addition to supervising todays
subroSa sessions, Leonard planned
to motor over to Greenwood Lake,
N. Y, and watch Champion Louis
60 through his next-to-last boxing
drill. It appears that the Louis camp
has no objection to Benny's spying
upon Bomber Joe, who concludes
training tomorrow.
Paychek also will take his last
public workout tomorrow. The chal-
lenger planned to loaf yesterday, but
