Marriage and Family Council, first
Of its type in the south. Consulta-
tons are handled by Mrs. Groves,
herself an authority on marriage
and family relations, and her as
sistant, DR.. Donald Klaiss, who also
teaches marriage at the university.
The new council gives DR.. Groves
more time with his students - al
ways first in his interest.
Much has been written of these
marriage classes, but they are far
from the spectacular affairs many
imagine them to be. Boys and girls
are taught separately at times, to-
gether at others. There are open
classroom discussions, and students
have first call on DR.. Groves tine
for private consultation on a par
ticular question or personal prob
lem.
Graduates and former students re.
turn to Chapel Hill to find answers
to their immediate problems of court
ship or young marriage. Not all of
his petitioners are young-and his
sage counsel has often preserved a
marriage that had weathered early
difficulties, only to encounter trou-
BILE late in life.
DR.. and Mrs. Groves put their
theories into practice. Their joint
interest in the field of education,
their cooperation in teaching and
consultation permit them to turn out
volumes on their life study of other
peoples problems. Their successful
marriage is proof in itself that their
theories will work.

The L
BY DEWITT

The Germans continued to thrust
forward this morning on the south
ern end of the great Belgian bat
tie line, having crossed the Meuse
river at three points between the
famous fortress of Namur and
Sedan, but they were encountering
strong opposition and the allied
reports indicated they ere hold
ing well at other points.
The Allies gain considerable sat
lsfaction from the present position
in view of the fact that the initial
fury of the German offensive
hasn't yet been spent. A few hours
more and it should begin to wane
and then we shall see what the
has in store.
There is lack of information ow-
ing to the turmoil of this man.
moth conflict, but the battle seems
TO be developing along two main
llnes-O an effort to drive right
through the heart of Belgium to
the channel ports so to be able to
get at England, and CD a turning
operation in which the Nazis are
trying to cut through the allied
line at Sedan and roll it back both
ways, a highly dangerous under
taking.
1t still seems to me that the
first of these movements-the
drive to the coasts the para
raount objective of the Germans.
The smashing of the allied block
ade and England herself depends
on that.
More Pretentious
The Sedan push, a far more pre-
tentious, undertaking, lends power
full support to the northern often
sive but it's pursuit presumably
will depend on the early results.
Should the Germans be highly sue
cessful, they will, of course, de-
velop this to the utmost with the
Idea Of sh~attering the main allied
front and reaching Paris.
Poor Brussels, from which King
Leopold today broadcast encour-
agement to his men in the forti-
fications of Liege, not only lies in
the line of the northern drive but
the Nazis have threatened to bomb
the city unless troop movements
through the capital are suspended.
That will be tough, but Brussels
will be able to take it. She endured

fensive device against these mines
was placed in operation; and 1t IS a
fact that the sinking of merchant
ships by torpedo, by mine or by ar
plane are definitely much lower
than during the similar period IN
1915.
Air Conditions Change
Combat conditions have changed
even more rapidly in the air. Win
the amazing progress in the design
of planes and engines, the alrplane
of a year ago is out-of-date now IL
is too slow, it is improperly pro-
tected, it is too weak in gun power
In types of planes we are not pc
hind the other nations OF the Worlo-
Many of the planes of the belnger-
ent powers are at this moment not
Of the latest models. But n bel
iigerent power not only has many
more planes than all their oppon-
ents combined, but also appears TO
have a weekly production capacity
at the moment that is far greater
than that of their opponents.
From the point Of view of our de-
tense, therefore, great additional
production capacity is our principal
air requisite.
For the permanent record, L ask
the congress not to take any action
which would in any way hamper
or delay the delivery of American
made planes to foreign nations
which have ordered them, or seek
to purchase more planes. That,
from the point of view of our own
rational defense, would be extreme
iy shortsighted.
Production Boosted
During the past year American
production capacity for Var planes,
including engines, has risen from
approximately 5000 planes a year
to more than double that number,
due in greater part to the placing
CT foreign orders.
Our immediate problem is to
superinmpose on this production
capacity a greatly increased addi-
tional production capacity. l should
like to see this nation geared up
to the ability to turn out at least
so, 900 planes a year. Furthermore,
I believe that this nation should
plan at this time a program that
would provide us with so, 1000 mill
tary and naval planes.
