Speaking of the Potomac and bass

COLORADO SPRINGS, Aug. 5 - Wendell L. Willkie believes that the coming election will be decided on issues rather than party lines.
 The Republican Presidential nominee told neWsmen at con- ference held jointly with Will liam Allen White, Emporia, Kan sas editor, that he believes that fully half of the voters are in- dependent and they cross party lines very easily. There used to be pride among many people re- garding their party partisanship. Now they are proud of their in- dependence"

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1 = President Roosevelt in a message read before the Foreign Trade Convention, stressed the need for program of economic defense in Latin American countries.

AlaSka's per capita cost of en- forcement of liquor control is the lowest and it's revenue from the liquor trade is among the high est, if not the highest, in the nation. IL has less "bootlegging and less enforcement problems than a vast majority of the Stat es in which the trade is legal ized.

Now will try very hard to hold
myself in, and not cut loose with so
many adjectives that they will run
over your shoetops, yet it is fact
that this Is the most beautiful war
that anyone ever say, because snow
covers everything which is ugly to
the eye, such as the wreckage Of
tanks, while everything that might
be ugly to the nose (and there are
numbers of them out there beyond
the wire) is now frozen solid as
marble and covered with snow as
well, and so cannot be ugly either to
eye or nose until the late spring
thaw.
Last night was warm-only about
10 degrees below freezing, and I,
spent four hours walking through
the Finnish trenches-about 5 Kill
ometers Of it along the front lines,
ending up in a front-line dugout at
midnight. The night was as still
as death can ever be. There was
no moon, and low muffling layer Of
clouds hid the stars. Since it was
only little below freezing, the snow
did not squeak under foot as it does
in bitter cold, but was soft, and
clung to you like fluffed cotton, and
the two feet of this softness muffled
every sound.
Pastry Tube Decoration.
But since there was no living
creature out in those woods-no
crickets to sing Or. frogs to croak
under feet of ice-there were no
sounds to muff1e. There was only
the soft padding Of our own boots
in the snow at the bottom OF the
trench, a sound that hardly went
beyond the sandbags.
The trenches ran through tall
pines, and each of their branches
was piled SO high with snow that
the last high fakes on each ridge
must have been gently poured on
with pastry tube, or they would
have toppled off. The snow was
the cleanest, deepest white you can
think of, because there was not for
many miles any SCOT or dust to
soil it. j..
Walking along the frOnt-line
trench we would come upon sentry
standing there in the white darkness
every 40 or go PAGES, looking out
toward the Russians with the white
cotton hood over his steel helmet
and white camouflage blouse over
his uniform, so only his face and
his automatic rifle were dark. Some
