In Newark, N. j., a man got a

PEELED to move q times in six years.
His name was Allan MacFee. He
told the judge he never knew which

MacFee did not contest.
Mrs. Charles H. Mayo, chosen as

The national assembly of the Fill

the Japanese-who are perhaps,
Trojan-horse-minded in the Philip

Maj.-Gen. Bernard Paget, redhead
son of the late Bishop of Oxford, was
especially praised by Prime Minis
ter Chamberlain, for his skillful re-
treat from Norway. He got troops,
wounded, and supplies away by sea,
under the very nose of German air
craft. Prior to this feat, he was al
most unknown. He has a crippled
left arm, souvenir of the First
German war. He gets No. / hero

L v L this year. Because the
hearts of mothers everywhere
are torn with fears and misery,
the dignity of that relationship
has somehow been emphasized
and made important, and when

is ''God help their mothers!
A current newspaper carries the
philosophical statement that only
800 aviators have been lost to Brit
ain since the beginning of the war.
Not even a thousand yet! Avia-
tors are young men, above the aver
age in intelligence, resource, cour-
age, aptitude. They are no Foreign
Legion, composed of ex-convicts,
loafers, failures, adventures. No,
they come from fine homes, they
are students, they are entrusted to
carry out the most delicate and
dangerous business of war. And 800
of them have already come down
to violent death in smoking fuselage
and tangled wreckage, and even if
not every one of them had not a
mother or wife to mourn him, hun
dreds of them had. Hundreds Of
mothers have lain awake restless
and dry-eyed through the endless
nights ever since, and will not know
sleep or rest for many and many
a night to come, thinking of the
young fine body, the loving, eager
heart, the gayety and sweetness of
him, now lying so still, with all her
hopes for him buried with him under
the deep earth.
Mothers Day in Reverse.
And that thought has put special
value upon our own magnificent
boys, has made us feel this year
that the situation is reversed. 1t

from their sons, this year; there
doesn't seem to be any sense in Sit

and candy and kilograms to arrive.
No, there's something we can do for
them; something they can't or won't
do for themselves.
That something is to stir up con-
tinual agitation over the question OF
our men being sent to fight over
seas. Our young men, that is, for

promise that we shall be kept out
of Europe's purposeless orgy OF
bloodshed.
One of the sights they show in
Mexico is the old altar of the Magyar
civilization that once prevailed
there; a magnificent amphitheater
whose stones were once running riv-

young men were selected as religious
offerings; INDUCED, petted, fattened
for one year, and then led to the
sacrifcial stone to have their iv-

that on one single occasion thirty
thousand boys were thus destroyed.

SEEING RED:

Clarence Hathaway, editor of New
York's community DAILY Worker"
was convicted of criminal libel after
a trial of three weeks. He faced a
maximum penalty of year in the
concentration camp, like his party
chief, Earl Browder, who got into
trouble over phoney passports, and
the Americo-Nazi chieftain, Fritz
Kuhn, whose followers Uncle Sam
protected" Hathaway, 46 years
old, is younger than Browder.
Purge of Purgers
The Dies committee, itself purg-
er of burgers, faced purge at the
hands of hostile New Dealers
who do not care for Martin Dies or
his works. Obstruction, non-co-
operation, and smearing had failed
to wreck the Dies machine, and the
c. 1. o. joined in the fight against
Dies. Critics declared it a battle
royal between red-baiters and pro-
pinks. The committee has consist
ed of five Democrats and two Re-
publicans, with Texas Dies in the
Texas saddle, as chairman.

WOTAN WINS:
In NOrtUuy

Following Austria, Czecho Slova-
kia, Poland, came poor Norway.
Said one neutral statesman, nerv-
ously, "The kiss of England is the
kiss of death" Frightened Swed-
ish, Netherlands, and Balkan lead
ers were inclined to agree. Morse
writers and generals denounced
John Bull, while the English cabi-
net was lettering.
The Allied troops debarked from
Andalsnes and Namsos, in the stra-
tegic Trondheim area, and sailed
away, under a terrific hammering
from the German bombers. Much
of their equipment was abandoned,
and the Norwegian troops, poorly
armed and trained, as is natural in
a small democracy with no imperi-
alist intentions, did not make much
of stand in isolated sectors. The
English expeditionaries in Norway
had been out-shot, out-flown, and
out-generaled. Raw London militia,
and half-trained regulars, had to
face toughened German veterans of
the 18-day Polish war, last fall.
The British marines, too, were not
trained for landing operations, to be
followed by land war of maneu-
yer. Good men all, their duties had
been aboard ship, and as brass-but-
ton garrisons in far-fung colonies.
U. S. marines have had exactly the
right training for ''Norse" opera
ton, and would have given the Ger
mans a far more telling battle, ac-
cording to American army and navy
men. This was a technical matter
of opinion.

Zion Baptist Church to pay the
last tribute of respect to one of
Seattle's most respected citizens,

the Church were closed and the
building was not properly heated.
This was an unfortunate oversight
and due to the lack of understand

members most sincerely regret.
We wish to assure all concern
ed that in the future every pre-
caution will be used to prevent q
recurrence of this unfortunate sit

that Mt. Zion will at all times

of this communicated to this
task we hereby dedicate ourselves
and most sincerely beg the coop
