SATURDAY - German bombers
smashed the heart out of Coventry,
an industrial English midland city,
and at least 1000 We're killed. Ger

was scuttled and three others were
forced back into a Mexican harbor

PEACE DAY NEEDED.

The % years since the original Ar
mistice day offer eloquent testimony
to the fact that there is a far cry be-
tween armistice and an actual, lasting
peace. Armistice day, 1918, only
marked the hating of hostilities with
out bringing peace. The forces that
brought on the World war are still at
work and have again succeeded in en-
broiling most of the world in a gigan-
tic cataclysm. Whether we shall be
involved in this new war remains to
be seen, but at present we are united
in our determination to remain at
peace and preserve our democratic
heritages.
The people of the United States
cannot escape certain responsibility
for the fact that today we comment
crate not day Of peace, but only a
day of armistice--a cessation of hos
tilities while rival forces recouped
their strength for an even deadlier
encounter. We are in no small meas
ure responsible for the outcome of
the last war-a fact of which we may
be justifiably proud. But there is little
reason for pride in our record imme-
diately following the World war.
We were instrumental in bringing
about an armistice and then refused
our continued cooperation in bring
ing about lasting peace. We entered
a war to end all wars and to make the
world safe for democracy. Since that
time the world has known more wal
than in any like period, and democ-
racy never has fallen upon worse
times. The so called victor nations of
the World war failed miserably in 9
great opportunity to establish new
order ending the era of competitive
ornaments. For this reason, Armis-
tice day in 1910 is not a day for iubi-
liant celebration, but rather day TO,
repentance and rededication to the
forgotten causes for which the World
war was fought.-Minneapolis Trib-
une.

RED HOUSE LUTHERAN PARISH
A. X. Jones, Pastor

The Scripture lessons for next
Sunday suggest the need of divine
light in this dark world of sin. HUI
man methods have failed. 1t is high
time that we turn to Christ, the Light
of the world, and having relighted
our little lamps by the light He
brought into the world, remind our
selves of His statement to the disci-
pies, aye are the light of the world
In 1914, when all efforts had failed
to avert war, Sir Edward Grey said:
"The lights are going out all over Eu-
rope; they will not be relit in our
time" "Our lamps have gone out
said the foolish virgins. The pastor
will preach on this theme.

Red House at 10:40 in the morning.

State Forester Asks
Appropriation Raise
Cites Many Requests For Aid in
Management of Woodland

State Forester F. W. Besley ha,
announced that he has asked the
Board of. Regents, which directs the
policies Of the State Department oil
Forestry, and State Budget Director
Walter Kirkman to recommend in
creased State appropriations for his
department for the biennium starting
October 1, 1871, which is calculated tc
enable more active assistance tC
woodland owners in marketing timber
products and care of their forest
lands.
Mr. Besley explained that improv.
ing prices and demand for forest pro.
ducts, coupled with an enlivened in.
terest by farmers in soil conserving
practices, has flooded the Forestry
Department with many requests fol
assistance in management of wood.
land areas. The Departments staff Of
forestry and timber experts has haC
no enlargement in the past IA years
although the work of the Department
is said to have more than tripled in
that time.
Skillful technical advice is of great
value to owners of woodland tracts
according to Mr.. Besley, due to spe-
cial knowledge required in determin-
ing the timber volumes available for
sale and their valuation.
The forester has asked for funds to
employ district forester at Belail
and three assistant district foresters.
Salaries, travel expense, etc, will cost
the State about $4,000 each year
Mr.. Besley said their services would
mean saving of from 5 to 10 times
that amount to timberland owners
The budget request is based upon rec
concentrations of the Advisory Board
of Forestry, composed of John M.
Nelson, Baltimore; Mauldin Lum,
North East; Bernard l. Gender, Oak
land; and ex-officio members, Dr..
Isaiah Bowman, president of Johns
Hopkins university, and Edward B.

against the IVA and the manner in
which he dramatized that fight into
becoming the Republican candidate.
Perhaps if he had crushed Mr.. Willkie
in the election he would have felt
more kindly toward him. But the size
of the Willkie vote, combined with the
unconquered disposition of Mr.. Will
kie, apparently inks him very much.
There seems no other way to ac-
count for his insistence upon still
treating him, now the fight is over,
as an insignificant fellow far be-
meath his august notice. That sort of
thing isn't going to hurt Mr.. Willkie,
and perhaps it will not hurt Mr..
Roosevelt, though it is not calculated
to enhance regard for him among
those who expect generosity in a win
ner as we'll as manliness in a loser
Nor is it encouraging to men who
believe that the critical days ahead
make personal i'll feeling among pub
lie men particularly deplorable.
No one wants to fan the flame OF
controversy or keep alive hate and
distrust. 1t is a period when coopera-
ton and good will should be the gen
eral aim. Neither of those things is
promoted by the present Administra-
ton temper toward Mr.. Willkie. Tc
carry personal feeling to the extent
it is being done at the White House

it seems peculiarly petty in the vic
torious head of a great nation. 1t is
one of the most discouraging signs Of
the times.

These reflections are prompted by a
variety of things that have occurred
recently tending to show that the
leaders of the victorious side in the
recent election have not taken their
triumph altogether with that spirit Of
generosity and magnanimity for
which the situation seemed to call.
Most of these incidents are small, but
often the temper and the trend of
those clothed with authority are more
clearly revealed by the little things
than by the big ones.

AT MARTINIQUE
Charlotte News

The French airplane carrier, with a hundred
Amerlcan-made planes on her decks, and the
French cruiser now lying at Martinique face
US with a nice problem.
The President called in the French ambas-
sador the other day and proposed that the
planes be sold back to the United States. The
ambassador refused, on the ground that the
terms OF the armistice, which the Vichy Gov
eminent signed with Germany, forbade it. The
Vichy government had already brusquely
turned down proposals that the two ships be
interned in the United States until the end Of
the war.
Yet the presence OF these ships may make
trouble at any moment. Their commanders
and the governor Of Martinique are rIgidly
loyal to the Vichy government, which In turn

Editorial Comment
~"COLORADO BEETLE" PROPAGANDA
n, Y. Herald Tribune

The loud blast that emanated from Germany
Z few days ago accusing the degraded British
ot dropping thousands OF Colorado beetles
over Germany IN order 10 reduce the inhabit.
ants OF the country to starvation, is typical Of
official German utterances against their enc
mics. To the uniformed it might seem to be
logical Unfortunately the uniformed include
the greater part Of the world, for it is only in
America that the Colorado potato beetle is well
known and that the absurdity Of the German
accusation is obvious.
A few facts about the potato beetle may
prove enlightening to propagandists and aid
them To do their work with more intelligence.
The beetles and their larvae feed on the potato
plants, but in order to harm the crop they must
get an early start so that they may destroy the
foliage by the time the tubers are beginning
TO develop. Otherwise the tubers will continue
10 grow so long as there are green leaves TO
furnish the necessary stimulation and food
Since the German potato crop is now matured
and already partly harvested it is unlikely
that the British would attempt to scatter Do
tato beetles over Germany so late in the sea-
son.
During the war Of 19l4-'1S, suggestions were
made 70 high authorities for doing Just what
the Germans now accuse the British of doing
but the idea was discarded because it was
realized that such a plague let loose over Ger
many would not end with the cessation Of hos
%tilities, and that it would prove an everlasting
detriment to European food sufficiency. No
beetles were dropped, but by a strange quirk
OF fate or circumstance, the Colorado potato
beetle suddenly appeared in Germany a mum.
Der OF years ago and the pest has continued
to prosper and spread, SO that in a fairly large
section OF western Germany today it is an
even more serious pest than it is in America,
because the parasites that naturally help to
control it here are not present in its adopted
country.
Britain has been more favored and the
beetle has not been able to gain a foothold on
her shores. This fact alone should be sufficient
refutation Of the German claim. One can only
speculate upon the true reason for the German
propaganda. 3
