Sir Gerald, Bfitainis highest
ranking envoy in the United
States under Ambassador Lord
Halifax, pledged that his empire
will fight through the present
phase of danger and difficulty

abandon the victims of European
aggression whom we are pledged
to free. and declared:

The minister's outspoken retort
to Lindbergh was made in an ad-
dress before the International
Chamber OF Commerce, in annual
session here. His words were
broadcast by short-wave around
the world.
Sir Gerald categorically denied
Lindbergh's charges in a New

attempting to persuade the 'Ameri-

Ask City
Aid Child
Refugees

A campaign TO raise an initial
fund of $1,000 to provide for a
nursing home IN England for Brit
ish and European refugee children
is under way in Detroit today.
The program was launched last
night at a meeting at the Y. w.
c. A. where over a hundred De-
troiters. many of British and Cana
dian origin, gathered to hear Lady
Dorothy Mayer make the plea on
behalf of the British Save the Chill
dren Foundation.
Lady Mayer. once famous on the
concert stage as Dorothy Moulton,
traced the history of the founda-
ton. which YEAS founded in Geneva.
Switzerland. following the last
war. TO aid suffering children in
central Europe.
There are three plans the
American SCI has decided
upon" Lady Mayer said. 1.-THE
first is direct contributions to
be used TO provide a fluid fund
for combating sudden contin-
gencies: the second, individual
sponsorships costing $50 which
will provide for one child a year,
while the third is community
undertaking which seeks to raise
$4,000 to provide a nursing home
for 80 children under 5 i'm the
British countryside away from

Lady Mayer had kind word TO
say for France in its attitude
toward fugitives:
France has cared for more
refugees during the past 20
years than any country I Know
of. and all of them of the very
poorest.
Lady Mayer. her husband. Sir
Robert Mayer. and their three
children were VaCatiohining IN
America when the war broke out
and remained to help in British
aid measures.

Opinion of the army officers was
that the Lone Eagles resignation,
made because of claims that Pres

patriotism. would be accepted on
the ground that there is a conflict

Miss Thompson
By KATHLEEN NORRIS

Last Wednesday night there was
a mass meeting in New York ad-
dressed by three Americans. !
was one, the Massachusetts Sena-
tor David I. Walsh was another
and Col. Charles Lindbergh was
the third.
We had expected some disturb
ance within the hall. We were
speaking for the America First
Committee, the object of which is
to prevent our ships and men from
being used for convoy duty, pre-
vent our country from entering
Europe's latest of thousand
years of war, and confine our de-
fenses-and make them strong
to our own country.
In the packed hall there was no
interruption of the program ex-
cept by prolonged applause.
FIGHT, A MYTH"
Now l have been shown an ar
ticle by Miss Dorothy Thompson
describing on that particular &C.
casion the action of the America
First committee, which she seems
strangely and anxiously to fear is
a Germany-First committee.
She says that until that meet
ing mo actual violence had been
employed. a.
1t seems to me Miss Thompson
should be requiret in common
justice to give us further partic-
ulars of street fight that no
newspaper reporter or policeman
observed, and of which eye-wit-
nesses saw nothing. She herself
was many miles away at the time.

Now this inaccuracy may we'll
be considered typical of the ex-
citing and disturbing tenor of
Miss Thompson's articles. In this

When our arms production is

WASHINGTON FIRE
 RUINS HUGE BARN
Blaze of Unknown Origin Does $l2,OOO Damage
 Sunday Evening

A $12,000 fire on the Middle Ridge dairy farm last night in Bell Hill, Washington, Conn, destroyed a huge modern dairy barn in which hay and farm machinery was stored plus two silos, as Washington fire officials probed into the origin of the blaze.
 The property is owned by Rowe B. Metcalf of Greenwich. Fire Chief Harry E. dagger commanded 40 volunteer firemen from New Pres- ton and Washington, but they were unable to extinguish the fire and the barn burned to the ground.
 Heifers which were in the pasture were grazing when the caretaker, Thomas Rowley, noticed the fire.
 As the caretaker summoned aid, a neighbor quickly rushed in and released a bull tethered in the burning barn. Hundreds of persons soon gathered to watch the fire level the barn to the ground.
 The barn was regarded one of the modern barns in western Connec- ticut and was equipped with the latest in farming implements. About l50 tons of hay, alfalfa and farm equipment was destroyed. No other dwelling were endangered al- though volunteers kept fire. embers from igniting woodlands nearby.

Morale Of Soldiers
 Undermined By Pay
President of Webber College Asserts Congress Insults
 ing Our Sons" By Offering Them High Wages

But most important of all Is tho fact that down deep in. his heart every thinking man knows that tlle only moral justification of the soldier is in the principal that he fights at sacrifice for cause. Only that justifies the killing which he must do.
 He who kills for pay Is on the lowest ethical level, a simple n1ur- derer whether in uniform or not. Soldiers feel this. When their thought is turned to pay, they loss self-respect. Restlessness appears Pride vanishes. The proud soldier is the good soldier. The mercenary soldier has always been contempt. ible.
 The patriots of Valley Forge wert unpaid.
 Churchill got magnificent responss and unbeatable morale. What pay did he offer2 Sweat, blood, and tears.
 Our boys have pride. They have heroic impulse. But these qualities have progressively diminished as tte army pay has risen until 1t nov takes the form of apparent renunn- eration for killing rather than jiisb a little luxury money.
 And Congressmen are now agitata ing a higher pay for the army. Your sons and mine. They are insulting our sors. The boys don't understand themselves very well so they will take the money eagerly if offered it.
 But deep down underneath they don't want to be hired mercenariess and the more pay they are giveng the lower will be their morale.

BabSon Park, Fla, Oct. 6-Dr John H. Sherman, president of Web- Der College in a public statement here today declared that the morale of our new arm is distressingly bad. Unless the com1nonsense of the na- tion arises to prevent, Cile press and the Congress will soon make it worse. The problem of morale in army life is vastly different from that in industry.
 The seasoned, experienced pro- fessional army officers, suddenly thrown into minority and univer- sally treated as though they had learned nothing in their long years of service, are checked and frustrat- cd by the interference of rank anna teurs. A New York banker gets com- misSioned a brigadier general of army morale. An aspiring young politician launches a drive under a patriotic slogan to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars, very little of which, thank God, has reached the soldiers.
 It is time for someone to speak the unpopular truth. Having served through two wars in each rank from drummer-boy to Captain, and hay ing now no personal axe to grind, I feel both qualified and under a duty to tell 1t. There are three main causes of present low morale:
 First, Congress, the press, and the General Staff itself used bad psy- chology in the initiation of the draft. They employed the wrong words and the wrong attitude. Instead of &C., ceptees, acceptance, and boards of rejection for dependents, all of which would have suggested honor in selection and privilege in service; they used the terms draftees, in- duction, and appeal boards,-thus initially emphasirg the expectancy that of course American youth would not want to serve. Men in masses always are highly suggestible.
 Second, partisan press ana venal politicians, in their effort to get political advantage against the Ad- ministration at Washington, have ceaselessly battered at the soldiers confidence in their Commanders -in- Chief, and their loyalty to him. They have convinced many soldiers that the whole effort is useless, their time wasted, their officers inefficient, their lot an unjust one, their equip ment crimirally neglected, and their training, exercises and drills worth less until fully equipped.
 They have not emphasized that the German army was developed without arms or equipment at a time when broomsticks, ropes and pulleys, and photograph records simulated guns, parachutes, and screaming dive-bombers.
 Third, misled Congress has made ours the highest paid army in the world. Morale is in inverse ratio to soldiers pay. Always. There are potent reasons for this.
 Morale is the eagerness to dc better than can be paid for: to do service which is beyond price. The very process of paying an army puts Its mind upon the measurement of returns, when good army spirit is always the spirit of sacrifice - of giving work and blood and life it. self for cause on which others depend. not for money.
