FOREIGNERS IN
The CIVIL WAR
{ Nevada State JOurnuD

4ANN'
A united America. to whom the Civil
War is merely AN episode of history, is
reminded by a new book that world SEN
timent on the issues of 1S6l-65 was dvid-
ed and that both the North and the South
had their partiSanS in Europe and each
had "brigadeS" made up of volunteers
who came across the ocean to enlist. The
new book. Foreigners Who Fought for
TIE South" tells of the work of the vol
unteerS who aided the Confederacy. and
deals but little with the volunteers who
took up arms for the Union forces.
1t enumerateS some of the outstanding
persons who distinguished themselves in
the Southern armies.
Heading this company, according to
the records, were Prussian-born Col.
Heros Won Borcke Maj Gen. Patrick Gle
burne of Ireland. the Prince de Polinac
Of Paris, Col. August Forsburg, distin-
guiShed Swedish engineer. There were
in addition, as rosters reproduced in
this book show, solid companies" of
Germans enlisted from the several states
of the Confederacy French legion a
Folsh Logon. companies of Italians,
Spaniards and MeXicanS, European
brigade, entire regiments of Irish.
A book could also be written dealing
with the same subject but confined to
the army of the North. and it would no
doubt disclose many companies made up
of Germans, French. Irish and others
who believed in the Union cause and
fought for it.
The recent civil war in Spain found
companies and brigadeS from other ma
tions fighting on both sides. Some of
them were made up of men seeking ad
venture and little caring which side won,
while others fought because they believ-
ed in the cause and wanted to aid it
directly.
Europe accepted the North as the vic
tor in the American Civil War. but many
statesmen and public men abroad would
have preferred to see the South victor
ious, while just as many reloiced with
the followers of President Lincoln when
the war ended

the hands of the old-papcr dealer.
1t may participate in the drama of
the beginning and the end of life
itself.
For example, when someone in
the poorer sections of the city calls
the Chicago Maternity Center and
asks for doctor to make a delivery,
the caller is instructed, among
other things, to collect some news
papers. When a physician and his
nurse arrive, they spread the news
papers over the furniture in the
expectant mothers room because
they are usually the cleanest COW
erings available.
Surgical instruments are often
laid on newspapers just after they
have been Sterilized. Food is spread
out on newspapers at picnicS and
pantry shelves are sometimes lined
with printed sheets. If rainStorm
comes up suddenly, you're as likely
as not to whip out the paper you're
carrying and save your bonnet from
a fatal dousing.
Papers are published to be read,
of course. But editors don't mind
if you feel like using old copies to
paper the kitchen. They don't care
what you do with them after you've
read them. AS a matter of fact, you
would feel pretty lost if you couldn't
find a newspaper to wrap up the jar
of picked peaches you're about to

WASHINGTON.-The real nature
of the split in the Labor Board has
SO far eluded even the Smith COM
mittee. although it was the Smith
committee which made the split
public.
Tho dlshamony between Board
Member William M. Lei5erson. on
one side and Members j. Warren
Madden and Edwin S. Smith, on
the other. goes far deeper than the
public!Zed row over "SlipShod pro-
cedure" and the proper stating of
the board.
1t reaches down to fundamentals,
and-although the fact is not gen.
orally reallzed-on the basic point
at issue. Smith and Madden are ac-
tually much closer to the Smith
committee position than is DR.,
LeiSerson
Basic complaint against the board
throughout the Smith hearings has
been that the charge that it is
Judge jury and prosecutor ali IN
one. Congressman Smith has ham
mered at this point repeatedly,
drawing out much testimony in
tended to show that board with
those three jobs to fill is apt to go
hayWire here and there.
Defense tactics. as shaped by
Madden and Smith and Board
Counsel Fahy. have been to show
that the situation isn't really as bad
as it looks: that the different func-
tions of the board are kept in air
tight compartments, so that the
job of prosecution is thoroughly in
sulated from the job of factfnd-
ing.
There IS where Leiscrson most
sharply differs with his colleagues.
b. hl5 philosophy, tho only way
TO answer the Judge -jury-prosecu-
tor charge is to say. Why. Of
course were those three things in
one that's tho only way in which
q board like this can work, the only
way in which law like the Wag-
nor act can meet the problem it
was created to meet
LniSerson draws his philosophy
from the Wisconsin school of gen
Grafton agO-the school of the elder
La Toilette and the famous Dr.
John r. Commons. That philosophy
in brief, runs like this:
Complex modern life creates prob
lens which existing machinery can
not handle, problems partly legal,
partly administrative, partly judi
ciaI Court cant handle them, be-
cause they're only partly legal prob
lens, ordinary administrative agen
cos cant handle them, because
ttcyrr only partly administrative
problems The problems can't be-
sD.ved al all unless there is new
%aoncy combining all of these func-
IONS IN one.

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

Jerry Muskrat's new house was
growing. Yes, indeed, 1t certainly
was growing. With SO many help
| ers to cut alder and willow shoots
and bulrushes and to bring them to
him, Jerry was kept busy building.
| It was no time at all before the
walls of Jerry Muskrat's new house
showed above the water and then
they grew higher and higher and
higher.
Jerry Muskrat worked and worked
and worked with might and main.
You see, no one could help him
actually build the new house, be-
cause no one but himself knew Just
how it should be built. He put the
willow and alder shoots just so. He
placed rushes and grass just where
they were needed and then he kept
them in place with mud.
That's a queer looking house."
said Sammy Jay. 'It looks to me
like nothing but a pile of old rub
bish."
"Just you watt" replied Jerry
Muskrat, as he climbed up to place
more bulrushes on the roof.
So Sammy Jay waited, for there
was nothing else to do, and the
house grew and grew and grew. BY
and by the roof was on and Jerry
Muskrat sat on top of it to rest
and eat his supper of fresh-water
clans, which he had brought Up
from the bottom of the Smiling
Pool. Sammy Jay cooked his head
on one side.
"Pooh!" said Sammy Jay, that's
no kind of a house! 1t hasn't any
door,"
Jerry Muskrat just grinned and
said nothing. He was too busy
opening a clam for thought. Sammy
Jay began to laugh.
What are you laughing at?"
asked his cousin, Blacky the Grow.
II am laughing at Jerry Musk
rat. He's built a new house and
1t hasn't any door. Ha, ha, hal" re-
piled Sammy Jay.
Blacky the Grow flew close down
W Jelly MuShl dt . liCW liCuoC dIlQ
looked it all over; that is, he looked
at all that he could see. Sure
enough, he could find no door. Then
Blacky the Grow began to laugh,
too, and flew over on the Green
Meadows to tell the little meadow
people about the great joke on Jerry
Muskrat-how he had built a house
without any door.
But Jerry Muskrat didn't seem to
mind, not the teeniest. weeniest bit.
When he had finished his last fresh
water clam Jerry washed his face
and combed his hair His eyes twin
killed. as he shouted to Sammy Jay:
Some folks believe just what they
see,
And think that nothing else can be.
But some folks don't know all they
might
My door is hidden out of sight"
Splash! Jerry Muskrat had dived
into the Smiling Pool. Two min
utes later he was making his bed
of soft grass in the upper room OF
his new house.
