Smoky Jenson arrived all out of breath. He has been muster ing a gang of charcoalers to pre- pare for the anticipated boom in Connecticut iron. JenSon has signed up men so old they're on crutches. And youngsters who never used anything but red ham dled shovel. He's looking for place to start a charcoalers' school. A spot where. there's. birch,. oak, maple, and 8 little willow would be best. Smoky figures we need 8 freshener course for the char coalers.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-30

CharcOaIers are alone so much they sometimes get queer in the head, according to civilized stan- dards. That's why fellows like George Signor and Smoky Jen- son believe in fairies, and why their Iady-friendS are always beautiful like Charcoal Daisy. But that's another story. Wen write about Charcoal Daisy after Smoky goes back to the woods with his gang. It's unsafe to use too much space about her until then be- cause Smoky might get jealous and mean.

Herbert told Judge George D.

going to give them paid him so cents

Herbert had the alternative Of

Badoglio last October told him
straightaway the preparations made
for the offensive on Greece were
grossly inadequate. The Italian gen.
eral staff thought it knew better
So much the worse for it. Such is
Germany's attitude.
1t can be easily understood. There
no longer is any doubt that Premier
Mussolini hardly gave previous no.
tice to Adolf Hitler of what he in
tended to do in Greece. He knew
that Hitler had begun to negotiate
with Pierre Laval to enlist the CO.
operation of the Vichy government
against England and that the con-
templated bargain involved a drastic
cutting down Of all Italian claims
upon France.
Rome, If Hitler had his way,
would have to be content with
humble spoils. the transformation Of
dominium, whereas last June before
the armistice the Italian share, &C
cording to German promise, was to
include in addition to full sover-
eighty over Tunis and part of the
department of Algiers, Nice; most
of Savoy and Corsica.
Mussolinis Bold Calculation.
The Italian expedition against
Greece was planned to ruin all the
arrangements in progress between
Berlin and Vichy. Having proved
her ability to wage blitzkrieg, hav-
ing created or enlarged vassal states
Of her own to win a great Croatia
and a great Albania, the latter ex-
tending to Salonika, Italy would
not have to put up with German
made law any more, but by the side
of Germany on footing of equality,
she would contribute to the making
of the new European structure. Such
was Mussolinis bold calculation.
That set of facts explains why to-
day, however hard pressed he may
be and perhaps on the brink Of dis
aster, Mussolini is reluctant to ask
for the assistance of the Fuehrer.
1t has been said that his own pres
tige might be fatally impaired
among his Italian subjects if he
begged Keitel to rescue his army
and that remark was certainly a
valid one two weeks ago but today
it has ceased to account satisfac-
torily for Mussolini's conduct.
Italys military position has be-
come so precariouS that the Duce
must feel compelled to incur risks
of that kind and even more serious
ones. True reason of Mussolini's
obstinate resolve not to turn for
relief toward the German military
power is that such a step would
leave him no choice but to fall in
line with the Franco-German nego-
tiations.
Bound to Intervene.
But the plight of the Italian
armies. if it continues. will not be
attended by very different conse-
quences. Hitler is bound to inter-
vene in his own way whenever he
believes his grandiose scheme of Eu-
ropean hegemony is likely to be
jeopardized by Fascist failure
Somehow the Fascist dictatorship
will have to toe the line.
No wonder, then, that Hitler and
his advisers affect to follow the
development of the great Greek
Italian war with considerable de-
tachment, at least for the present.
At the same time German diplo-
macy is hard put to it to persuade
the Yugoslav government to join
the totalitarian system. That is, to
sign the three-power pact of Sep
