Dr. Walker Speaks On
 Lessons Of History
Declares Germany Must Bear Burden of Guilty for Present World Suffering; Napoleon Embarrassed God

piled that he had learned four things: First, when it gets dark est the stars come out. Second, when Q bee steals from g flower 1t also fertilizes that flower, Third, whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. Fourth, the mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceeding enall.
 "The total war, tiiis well nigh total eclipse of civilization, may serve to bring men to their senses. This absolute war may make war obsolete. This eeric darkness may mean, and God grant that 1t may be soon not late, the revelation of the stars of 6 new hope on mans horizon. God knows the world out- look seems as black as the darkest midnight but let's not despair. We may be sure that once again the stars will come out may be cofn- ing out now, if we have the faith to see them.
 Aggresslons
 "Now please do not think that we condone aggression and con- quest, especially at Q time when the world witnesses the most das- tardly and vicious, the most wide- spread and terrible aggressions in all the worlds history. can only say that the bitterest fruits, the saddest fruits fall not upon the victims but upon the victors. It may be that the most tragic con. sequences of this Second World war is what has happened and what is happening to the souls of the people of Hitler's Germany. The people of Czechoslovakia, of Denmark, of the Netherlands, of Norway, of Greece, and all the others deserve our deepest syTn- pathy but not our pityl Like The Hebrew people of old who suffered the overwhelming tide of conquest again and again, these little na- tions of our day have saved their souls and their honor. It is my faith that by the Providence of God they will arise freer, strong CT, nobler. But Germany? Wheth- CT she wins or loses, what ghast- ly burden has fallen upon the souls of her people? What 6 heritage of guilt her people must bear in the generations to comel
 No Predictions
 q think We can carry the parallel with Napoleon one step further. be- lieve that it can be projected into the future. have no predictions as to the nature or the time of Hit ler's Waterloo but do predict that 1t will come. I believe that history resembles Itself because of the laws of justice and righteousness which undergrad the world. Nothing that the latest columnist can write on the present situation is more pertinent to the day and the hour than the comment of Victor Hugo on Water. loo fin "Les Miserables."

AN ALLEY

decrepit, wry-necked alley, Propped by walls of brick, Quibbles with the traffic In its bailiwick. It sneers at truck and horse cart. Chafes at children, too, Who in rags on crooked heels Hollow-eyed limp through. It hates the filth and stenches, The refuse at its door. The rusty cans and ash heaps Littering its floor; The dogs that snitch the naked bones The rats that glide about With stealthy feet and pointed tails The basements in and out It hates the vagrant stealing by, The drunkards reel and spew, And hates the carmine painted lips That sometimes beciron, too. Behind It's low-browed doorway Tn misery it bides And like an Oriental xts grief in secret hides.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 5.-When
the final chapter in the stirring
drama of Washingtons l941 base
ball collapse is scrubbed, an accuS-
ing finger doubtless will be leveled
at an embarrassed pitching staff.
Those gentlemen, if they are given
to bluShing, must be receiving their
pay checks with flushed faces and
a sense of guilt.
With the exception of phlegmatic
Steve Sundra, who has won five of
eight starts since deserving the Yam
KEGS, Washington pitchers have
provided President Clark Griffith
with some of the most miserable
moments of a widowed baseball
career. He had reason to be happy
when the Mats deserted the South
this spring, for it seemed his pitch
ers were calculated to keep the Mats
in many game.
"Well have the balanced
pitching staff in the league" said
Griffith, enthusiastically. I'VE won't
have any stars like Bob Teller or
Buck Newsom or Red Ruffing. but
our pitchers will be consistent. We're
not gonna be kicked around much
Sundra Alone Stands Up.
Griff was talking about Dutch
Leonard, Sid Hudson, Ken Chase,
Walter Masterson and Sundra, and
only Steve has justified his praise.

New Manager Plans
No Great Changes;
Mum on Outlook
BY the Associated Press.

ST. LOUIS, June 5.-Affable Luke
Sewell, veteran American League
catcher and Cleveland Indians
coach, stepped into the frying pan
today as manager of the floundering
St. Louis Browns.
He was signed to a 2-year con-
tract last night, replacing Fred
Haney in swift move aimed at i'm
proving the miserable plight of the
club that was expected to be the
surprise team of the serior circuit
this season. Haney had been man
ager since the start of the 1899
season.
A change of pilots had been
rumored for several days, but the
announcement by President Donald
Barnes caught even newsmen by
surprise. 1t came less than two
hours after the Brownies had won
their second straight game from
Washington to move out of the cell
lar into seventh place.
Luke Aims to Boost Hurting.
Terms of the contract, to run
through 1912, were not disclosed,
but Barnes said:
Something had to be done the
way things were going and l be-
leVe we got the right man"
Luke took over immediately and
said he expected to be coaching at
third base this afternoon. Obvi-
ously overjoyed with the promotion,
the 40-year-old Sewell conferred at
length with Barnes and associates
over plans for rejuvenating the
club, but said he contemplated mo
revolutionary changes" either
among players or the coaching staff
at least not at present.
He carefully avoided predictions Of
what results he expected, stating
simply he was happy to have the
chance and will make the most
of it,
L have seen the Browns in action
five times this season." he added,
land in those games pitching seemed
to be the principal weakness, and I
believe I can do something about
that"
Club TO Improve. Haney Says.
Pitching has been one of the
major disappointments Eldon Au-
ker, last years mainstay, had bitter
luck, and few of the men on whom
Haney pinned great hopes have been
able to stand the pace. Their hitting
also has been spotty-at times al
most negligible.
The Browns started the present
season with the brightest prospects
in years. But nothing Haney tried
to snap them out of it seemed to jell
into anything slightly resembling a
winning stride.
Yet, Haney, who took his dis
nissal good naturedly, predicted the
club would finish in fourth or fifth
place.
ITS too good a ball club to be
down on the bottom" he comment
ed. and I'm glad to see fellow
like SeWell get the Job
Haney said he had no immediate
plans.
Sewell jumped directly into the
major leagues from Alabama Uni
versity in 1921. and has played with
Cleveland, Washington. the Chicago
White SoX and Brooklyn.
