A EOTHER'S DAY has had
MI an especial significance
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
we read of English boys cheer
ing as their ship sinks in the icy
waters of the channel, and Rus
sian boys piled in windows un-
der the deep Finnish SHOWS
innocents all, slaughtered like
sheep at the orders of older
men, then the first thing we say
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, hum
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
isn't for mothers to expect tribute
from their sons, this year; there
doesn't seem to be any sense in sit
ting back in pretty old-lady COM
placency and waiting for flowers
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
the old men who send them never
60. We want to keep Washington
continually reminded that several
millions of American mothers, for
the first time in all history armed
with the vote that sent these legis-
lators and representatives to Wash
ington, are uniting for the single
purpose of electing the men who will
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-
ers of young blood. Thousands of
young men were selected as religious
offerings; INDUCED. petted, fattened
for one year, and then led to the
sacrificial stone to have their iv-
ing hearts cut out. The story is
that on one single occasion thirty
thousand boys were thus destroyed.
Horrible. isn't it? American tour

broad lowered hats, have been

had nothing to
match the whirl-

the keyed-up Sox.
I recall asking
Hughey Fullerton
one of the best of
tn e b a S e b a II
sages, about Is
bell at second.
"Here's a funny
angle" Hughey
said. "Isben can't

can't run, he has
a had arm, and

he is only a fair infielder. But he is
one of the greatest ball players I
ever saw"
Isbell had brains and spirit to a
high degree. The Sox were that
brand or breed of team players.
In 1908 Ed Walsh worked in &c
ball games, won 40 and saved IL
others. 1t takes spirit, plus an arm,
to carry this load.
about the Braves of 1914
George Stallings' Braves were
much along the order of the 1906
White Sox.
They were no great ball club. They
were around last place in early July.
They were supposed to be the league
flop. And then the vital spark ar
rived. They began overhauling one
team after another with Rudolph,
Tyler and James working in order.
Rudolph, Tyler and James-Ru-
dolph Tyler and James-day after
day, week after week, month after
month.
In addition, there was Hank Cow
dy back of the bat, and there were
Johnny Evers and Rabbit Maran-
vile working at second and short
two 'disembodied spirits -two
diminutive chunks of nerve, brains
and courage.
They won the pennant. They had
to face Connie Mack's brilliant team
that had won three pennants-a
team that had Bender and Plank in
the box, and McInnis, Collins, Barry
and Baker for an infield,-one of
the great teams of all time.
But the Braves beat them four
straight.
The 1910 Pennant Chasers
Neither may bag a pennant this
season but you won't stumble over
any keener spirit than Brooklyn and
Pittsburgh will show this summer.
Leo Durocher and Frank Frisch will
handle that part of the job. Both
demand hustlers, still carrying
along the flame of the Gas House
delegation.
The Brooklyn Dodgers demon
strated their hustle and spark by
winning the first nine games of the
season. Included in this march were
four shutouts and no-hit game.

worlds thoughts and fears.
Before the world was created,
darkness was upon the face q
the Deep" and in this year of 500
darkness returned again to large
section of the world. It will be re-
membered in history as the Year
of the War. It was the year when
Nazism swept over Europe, snuff
fling out independent countries,
ideals = Jewish populations. And
now, darkness is upon the face
of the waters" and across the
waters lies this continent. The
past year marked the blackout of
Europe. What will the next bring
for America?
The beginning of the war almost
conceded with the Hebrew New
Year. On Rosh Hashonah, Sept.
IA, the war was just two weeks
old. Poland was falling before the
Nazi Blitzkrieg. Finally, Germany
and Soviet Russia partitioned Po-
land, and 100000 Jews were SUBJ
jected to the most savage persecu-
ton the world has ever known.
Thousands were massacred. Thou
sands more died of famine and
disease. The Jewish population of
Nazi-occupied Poland was driven
into ghettos, drafted for forced
labor, obliged to wear badges of
shame"

struction of Polish Jewry = the

portant in the world-a gigantic
concentration camp in t o which
thousands of Jews were herded,
without adequate shelter or food,
without sufficient means of live
lihood. Shut from the outside
world by a thick shroud of secre-
CIV, the Nazis carried out an I'M
precented humiliation of the Jew
ish population.
Then two more lights were
BACKED out. On April the inva-
sion of Scandinavia was launched,
Denmark submitting passively,
Norway resisting, but undermined
by a Trojan horse. There were
only 1000 Jews in these two
countries, but they felt the hand
of the NaZi OppressOr in the form
of arrests, Disseminated la.-IT.
The Blitzkrieg came to the Low
Countries on May 10. The inva-
sion of Belgium and Holland
marked the opening in earnest of
the war in the west. In the Low
Countries were 265,OOO Jews, in
Guiding many refugees from Ger
many, and thousands of these were
trapped, while others fled desper-
ately to France and England.
laundering across Belgium, the
Nazi juggernaut rolled into France
where there were nearly a half
million Jews, including many thou
sands of refugees. France fought
bravely-as best she could in the
face of defeatism, internal sabot-
age and treason-but Paris was
occupied on June IA and II days
later a new French Government,
headed by Marshal Henri Philippe
Petain, signed a humiliating ar
mistice which provided, among
other things, for the return of any
German refugees wanted by the
Nazis.
Post-armistice France embarked
on the road towards totalitarian-
ism, as part of which anti-Semi-
tic tendencies arose in the coun-
try which first gave democracy to
Europe. Reaching the sea, Ger
many turned on the last strong
hold Of liberal civilization on the
eastern side of the Atlantic Eng
land-and as this is being written,
the fate of Britain is being decid-
ed.
Marching behind Hitler, to the
tune played by the Nazi bugler,
came Italy, Germany'S axis part
ner, whose entry into the war on
June 10 spread the war into the
Mediterranean. Italy, whose 49,
900 Jews were being subjected
to Nazi-mOdeled anti-Semitic leg
iSlatiOn, had her work cut out for
her in fighting to gain a fOothOld
in the eastern Mediterranean.
This brought the war to Pal
estine. In the Holy Land, political
developments, such as restrictions

largely paralyzed the efforts to
find new homes for them. Euro
pean emigration routes have been
disrupted and efforts have been
made to route some of the refu-
gees through the Far East. But
the refugee problem is now part
of a far vaster war problem, and
it's settlement will depend on the
outcome of the war.
With prophetic vision President
Roosevelt saw what was coming.
AS early as last October II, the
President told a meeting of the
Intergovernmental Refugee Com
mittee in Washington that he
feared the war would create ten
to twenty million refugees and
new lands would have to be found
for them. At the same time he
urged immediate measures to save
the 100000 pre-war refugees. In
some Allied quarters, Roosevelt's
prediction as to the 1920 million
war refugees was resented at the
time as defeatist, but subsequent
events justified his pessimism.
AS to the German refugees, eff
forts were made to resettle some
of them, but the tide of events
swept on too fast and engulfed
most of them in Europe. A col
onization project was organized
in the Dominican Republic, but
only a handful could be brought
over in time, and emigration of
the remaining 500-an ultimate
colonization of 100000 was envi-
sioned-became a painfully ardu-
Gus task. Palestine, despite the
war, continued to receive some re-
fugees. The defeat of France sent
thousands fleeing south towards
Portugal, from where some man.
aged to sail for the United States
and other countries.
The United States in the past
year changed from a country at
peace to a nation preparing for a
feared, although hOped-against,
war. AS part of the unprecedented
preparations for defense, the fifth
column in this country emerged
as a major issue. Nazi prOpagan-
da, racial agitation became brand
ed as fifth column manifestations
threatening this nations security,
and this effectively checked the
influence of Nazi propaganda, de-
spite the increase in anti-Jewish
Indictment in some sections of the
country.
President Roosevelt sounded the
keynote in the drive against the
descriptive propaganda of the fifth
columnists in his defense speech
of May rs over the radio, when he
warned that those who spread ra-
cial and political discord aim Ito

Dorothy Thompson Hits
Republican Technique
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Dorothy
Thompson, newspaper columnist, de-
clared last night that the Republican
presidential campaign has been
carefully designed to rob the Amer
lean people of their wits"
Miss Thompson said the real
story" behind the campaign of
Wendell Willkie was that about a
month ago his hackers decided he
was not pulling in the orders so a
lot of high-pressure sales boys and
public relations counsels took him
over"
The technique" Of the Republican
sales boys and public relations
counsels." she said in a broadcast
sponsored by the Businessmen
League for Roosevelt, was first to
create fear and then to offer a
branded antidote'
The Republican boys" Miss
Thompson added, want to come in
not because times are bad and they
want to save the Nation. They want
to come in because they know times
are good and they want to be sure
that they get what they quantity
call their share of the pickings.
And if they get their share-or
what they think is their share-the
pickings will very shortly be very
bad for all of us, because that's not
the way you get steady prosperity,
as most of us can still remember"

day asked President Roosevelt how
he justifies his alliance with the
most corrupt political machines in
America "
Answering the Presidents speech
at Boston last night, Mr.. Willkie
said he was frankly disappointed.
Noting that Mr.. Roosevelt had de-

voting record of Republican Ma
tional Chairman Joseph w. Martin,
jr., of Massachusetts,, Mr. Willkie
reminded his opponent that he is
running "for President, not for a

Mr.. Willkie also was quick to
seize upon the Presidents reference
to Joseph P. Kennedy as my AM
basSador." Said Mr.. Willkie:
There is one thing, however, that
the President instructed me on this
evening. I had assumed that the
Ambassador to the Court of st.
James was the Ambassador of the
people of the United States and not
the personal representative of the

Answer to Woman
Routine, He Explains

The "Gestapo" label pinned on the
Justice Department by Representa-
tive Barton, Republican, OF New
York, stood branded today as 'po-
litical humoug" by Attorney Gen.
eral Jackson in explaining why the
criminal division of the department
answered a letter which Mrs. Will
liam H. Fain sent to the White
House mildly criticizing the speech
by President Roosevelt last June in
Charlottesville, Va.
Mr.. Barton, a candidate for the
Senate. said in a speech that when
Mrs. Fain asked for a copy of the
letter to refresh her memory of
what she had written she received a
phototstatic copy from the Justice
Department bearing stamp which
said criminal division"
Mr.. Jackson said in a statement
that Barton has been in Washing
ton long enough to know that there
is nothing sinister in the fact that
the White House, which receives
thousands of letters from all parts
OF the country, frequently relies on
the various departments to aid in
handling the volume of its CORE
spondence.
The letter from Mrs. Fain hap
pened to be referred to the Depart
ment of Justice for acknowledge
ment and for no other reason. 1t
was a perfectly proper letter and
acknowledgment was made by the
criminal division simply because
that division has a correspondence

Willkie asked his audience if it re-
membered how Garter Glass, that
gallant fighter from Virginia, got
out of a sick bed to say that Frank
lin D. Roosevelt would stand by that
plank. just as Joe Kennedy made a
speech the other night, saying that
he (the PresidenD would keep us
out of war"
Mr.. Willkie then directed this
question to his opponent in the
presidential race:
Are you kidding Joe Kennedy the
same way you kidded Carter CLASP"
Its a wonderful thing to receive
such wonderful welcome from ones
prospective neighbors," Mr.. Willkie
observed with a smile, in acknowl-
edging the applause that followed
his introduction to crowd of $4,000
in Baltimore Armory by former
Gov. Harry Nice, now the Republi-
can candidate for the Senate.
Debate Taunt Is Cheered.
The Republican nominee also
brought rounds of cheers when he
tainted the President for refusing
to meet him in debate on the same
platform.
After recalling his offer two weeks
ago to share his Baltimore platform
with the President. Mr.. Willkie
said he read later in the newspapers
that his offer was declined because
my invitation had been extended
publicly instead of privately, as to
dinner party"
81 had assumed" Mr.. Willkie
commented, that the discussion of
questions in campaign was public,
not family business"
For fear he might have commit
ted a discourtesy in inviting a de-
bate with the third term candi-
date" Mr.. Willkie said he looked
for precedents and found that one
man running for President in the
past had suggested that good gov
eminent could be served if the lead
ers of the two great parties could
agree On certain problems of gov
eminent and then jointing in debate
on the strength or weakness of theiI
respective remedies. This candidate
he said, also stated, But you can't
join debate with only one man or
the platform Who do you think
made that statement" Mr.. Willkie
asked, and promptly a part of his
audience shouted back, Roosevelt.
You have it," Mr.. Willkie told
them. Franklin D. Roosevelt said
that in 1882, when he also SUBJ
scribed to the Democratic platform
of that year."
Appeals for Democratic Support.
After repeating the substance OF
his West Virginia attack on the
administration for delaying national
defense until after most of the Euro
pean democracies had fallen, Mr.
Willkie closed with this impromptu
appeal:
"Please, people of Maryland, this
is no struggle between Democrats
and Republicans. believed in
