couldn't expect it. It is too bad for
us. But you argue with him in
vain"
The final words somehow or other
held themselves back until Bowie
halted at the door, ready to ride
away. Don Ramon with cordial pro-
testations had said good-by; Dona
Maria came out on the porch and
down the steps toward Bowie. He
slipped instantly from his saddle
and stood before her, hat in hand.
81 know why you go, senor," Dona
Maria said simply. II regret it
more than I am saying. Wherever
you go you will have warm hearts
at Guadalupe, interested in your
welfare. And prayers will go up
here a long time for your safety"
"You are much too kind, dear
Dona Maria" replied Bowie steadi-
ly. "The happiest days of my life
have been spent under your gracious
roof. And if you ever feel a dire
need-which God forbidden my
presence here, shall come if / am
alive"
Bowie left Guadalupe stonyheart-
ed. His impulse was to put as many
miles as possible between himself
and the scene of his one great
failure.
With his three ponies, that being
as many as Don Ramon could per-
suade him to take, he rode to Mon
terey to talk to Larkin. The latter
was in Yerba Buena. Bowie rode on
up the peninsula to find him. The
town was not so large as to make
it difficult to happen on the Ameri-
can. He encountered him at VIC
gets, and with him was nervous
and active young man who spoke
with foreign accent-Captain John
A. Suffer.
Suffer looked at Bowie with the
interest with which old Frederick
William of Prussia would regard a
likely recruit for his regiment Of
phenomenally tall grenadiers. In
Bowie he saw precisely the type Of
AAOAitiC4 SiAldkl uC WdAtCu AOA LAS
grandiose enterprise up the Sacra-
mento River-youth, strength and
poise that promised resource un-
der pressure.
The three men adjourned to a
rear room where Suffer ordered
Heidsieck, and the three slipped and
chatted nearly the whole afternoon.
Bowie tried two or three times to
break away but could not. Larkin,
despite Bowie's efforts to shut him
of, told Suffer about Bowie's Indian
affairs-the stories Of which had
long ago reached Monterey.
After this disclosure Suffer chung
to Bowie like Mustard to a stot;
nothing would do but that Bowie
must come up to the fort. The Tex
an refused all offers Of an immedi-
ate contract but, unable to escape
otherwise, gave the magnetic adj
venturer a promise that he would
visit him upriver within q few
weeks.
Suffer had in his mind the appre-
hension that Bowie, in passing Ere
mont's camp which lay enroute,
might be coaxed into joining his

OPPOSITION COOLS OFF
JAPANESE

When Cordell Hull wants to turn
on his Tennessee mountain wrath he
can do a magnificent job, and the
word which leaked out Of his inner
sanctum is that this was the kind Of
a job he did when Japanese Am
bassador Horinouchi called on him
just after the United States had de-
cided to recall its citizens from
China. 3,
The Hull dressing down, together
with internal reactions in japan,
seems to have cooled off the jap
anese somewhat. Intelligence re-
ports reaching Washington indicate
that danger of Japanese declara-
ton of war against Britain, over the
opening of the Burma road, is ebb-
ing. What the Japanese are expect
ed to do is to subject the Burma
road, with its incoming supplies OF
munitions for the Chinese army, to
as intensive a bombing as is pos
sible from air bases in south China
and adjacent French Indo-China.
AS far as any attack upon the
United States is concerned, all the
reports received in army and navy
circles-and they have been study
ing the situation as carefully as they
know how-are that Japan cannot
and will not risk war with the United
States.
In the first place, her navy has
fuel oil for only 21s months. Her
army has gasoline for only three
months. And perhaps even more
important, there is reported to be
considerable division of opinion in
side the Japanese government.
One group, headed by Prince
Konoye, feels that Japan is merely
being used by Hitler and the Axis
to scare the United States away
from more aid to the British. In
fact, Konoye vigorously opposed
signing the alliance, but finally had
to yield to more aggressive Foreign
Minister Matsuoka and the war min
lister. In addition, American observ-
ers detect an uneasy feeling among
the Japanese people and increasing
rumblings of unrest.

ABSENTEE SENATE

If the Congressional Record told
the whole story, it would reveal that
congress, during the past month, has
been fed up with it's own sessions.
Interest has been low, attendance
slack, and members who haven't
gone home show lack of interest.
When the senate convenes, the
clerk has to run through the roll
call several times before he can get
a quorum. This does not appear in
the Congressional Record, where the
roll calls are consolidated into one.
Sometimes, in desperation, the
clerk counts as present some men,
bers who have called up by tele-
phone from their offices, and an
nounces that 40 members have an
swered to their names. But Sena-
tor Vandenberg objects. 1--WE don't
legislate by telephone" he says.
"Where do you get 40? ! only see
u.s." So roll is called again.

GERMAN OCCUPATION

Intelligence reports from Europe
indicate that it is not the German
army but German civilians in
France who are causing trouble.
These reports state that the Nazis
already have begun to create their
vaunted unification of Europe and
their reduction of France to mere
agricultural state.
Following the conquering Nazi
armies, there came German civil
ians in numbers almost as great.
They settled down in evacuated
French homes and began to operate
abandoned French shops and fac
tories-and to take over others
which had not been abandoned. All
this in the vital industrial area of
north France.
Reports about the conduct of Ger
mans in France make sharp dis
tinction between the German mill
tary and civilian elements. Little
complaint was heard of the conduct
of the German military, but when
the Gestapo and the Brown Shirts
followed, together with civilian
groups for the management of in
dustry, real friction developed.
British victory over Germany
would require not only success in
staving off invasion but also driving
the Germans out of the Low Coun-
tries and France-and this means
not only the German soldiers, but
the hordes of civilians who have
taken over management of French
industry as if it were their own.

to Mrs. Edwards, which she refused to
accept and had it placed in the treasury
for the building fund. A committee
headed by Mrs. A. T. Hopes, arranged
this presentation. Ebert Bland, chair
mand of the building committee, made
the presentation speech. Mrs. Edwards
in response said she thanked all who
contributed as well as those who did
not. But wanted it to be clearly under

was only doing her duty and was de-

Mayor Vincent Scully is right when he
explains in letter to Edwin S. Hunt OF
the Waterbury Savings Bank that tax
reduction is more apt to appeal to Water
bury property owners than an Immediate
ten per cent reduction in assessment val
uations. The policy of the present admin
istration is to operate well within It's
budget as set up last fall and the de-
termining factor in the establishment OF
the current tax rate By such means
he believes the city can successfully bring
the city's tax rate down to the level
where it belongs and where it will per-
init economical government without i'm
posing drastic restrictions in services.
But that does not necessarily close the
door to equality in assessment valuations
throughout the city. There are at the
present time means at hand for bringing
about this end and we think that Mayor
Scully and his entire administration will
do everything in their power to restore
balance where it does not now exist.
But this is not going to result
in a sweeping and general slash. We are
glad, though, that the mayor Goes not
close the door to such possible reduc-
ton upon thorough examination OF
assessed valuations It's a natural sub
seqeunce to the present administrators
efforts at reducing our Indebtedness.

Views of The Press

Of dust darkened the sky for many
miles. Beginning about 1885, weeds.
and especially Russian snistles, be-
gan to come to the rescue, and to
hold down the powdered earth. The
tree belt also-which originally
was to have been 100 mites wide and
1000 miles long, but which actually
became thousands of shelter belts,
with trees Of graduated heights
helped to defect fiery blasts upward.
Secretary Wallace has urged farm
ers to plant more trees on their own
account. These precautions, put into
effect at a time whenA Nature
seemed in a relenting mood, have
enabled dust-bowl farmers this year
to grow corn, wheat and cotton at
q time when foodstuffs are likely to
be desperately needed to relieve
famine resulting from the war. An
ever present danger, however, is that
rising prices may tempt agricultur-
lists again to cultivate land that
should be left securely anchored by
grass roots.
