To the Editor:
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir;
VOUR recent review. "Tn the
i News" of the German-Russian
war and the reasons why IL
started, is perhaps the first really
clear and logical exposition made
on the subject.
Other newspapers and some
radio reports seemed garbled in
comparison.
! And now the Communist Party
reports IL will ask that provisions
be made In the Lend-Lease Act for
aid to Russia.
Let's hope real Americans will
not garbIe their thinking by as
Stunning that our task is to aid
Russia.
Our task Is to aid Britain.
Russia Is beaten even before she
starts.
And with her In defeat will 60
our old enemy, communism.
And about time.
Communism Is the real reason
why Russia will be defeated.
The entire system Is only a
hodge-podge of fraud and ineffi-
cheney.
Russia will 20 first, and then
Germany.
But, II we try to pull the Com
munists out of the mess we shall
accomplish nothing.
And that is what Russia would
like.
It's really wonderful to think
that what Russia planned for the
United States has happened-tO
Russia.
Their oblivion Is now assured,
Goddess people eventually go to
oblivion.
One can only hope that God will
prevent as much of the murder as
Is possible. For war, after all, is
murder.

Dear Sir:
COME time ago you allowed some
~ horrible pictures be printed In
your papers concerning vivi-sec-
ton. Why did you do 1t? And from
time to time you've printed sob
letters from many anti-vivi-sec-
tionists. Its so disgusting and sick
ening. Very likely most of those
are what they call Christian Sci
'entists and do not, actually, know
the facts 1 doubt If even a very
few animals ever suffer during
those experiments. After those pic
lures and letters opposing vlvi-
section appeared In your paper !
was afraid my husband would tell
me to stop the Sentinel. We have
taken IL ever since 1t came into
Beloit--so many years can't tell
the number. 1 have always liked the
paper so much, but this morning
your paper was so filled with that
cheap stuff. My husband said stop
that paper now" And I'm not the
only one. hope we've seen the
end to such write ups.

Faces Red
Revolt
International News Service Cable

SHANGHAI. July 19.-Troops
loyal to the Chungking govern
ment and Communist Chinese
forces were battling today as a
sequel to a renewed Red revolt.
Taking official cognizance of the
outbreak. the Chinese government
blamed the Communist Eighteenth
Route Army, which includes the
old Eighth Route Army and the
new Fourth Army, for taking
arbitrary action" in northern
China.
Chungking officials charged that
members of the Eighth Route
Army suddenly attacked Chung
king troops and other non-Com-
munist units in Shansi and Shan
tung provinces.
WIRE TO RED GENERAL
The national military council
wired the Red commander, Gen.
Ieral Chu Teh, instFucting him TO
order his troops to return immedi-
lately to their own positions. No
reply has been received yet.
The scene Of the present fight
ing and the initial Communist at
jtacks extends from the Tung-Pu
railway in southwestern Shansi
eastward TO western Shantung
and thence northward TO the
tlIopei and Shantung border near
lTsinan.
In this area, II was claimed, the
Communist troops attacked, dis
armed and then dislodged the
Chungking forces.
TROUBLE IN PAST
Although il has been known for
some time that troops of the
Eighth Route Army were caus-
ing trouble, this is the first time in
many months that the Chungking
government officially has publi-
cized the Red attacks.
Observers believe that the gov
lernment will take strong "discip-
tiinary actor" in the near future.

and the maligners Of his

The Burchard incident was the
elimination of a loathsome politi-
cal conspiracy which cost Blaine
the presidency. Blaine could not
possibly have seen an advance copy
OF the Burchard~ speech for Bur
chard was merely called on at the
last minute to pinch hit for Rev.
Thomas Armitage, the spokesman
OF the committee of ministers, who
failed to arrive In time from Phila-
Idelphia. Burchard spoke extempo-
raneously and there Is good reason
to believe that he deliberately en-
ployed the words rum, Romanism
and rebellion" to help certain sup
porters OF Grover Cleveland, to
whom he was financially obligated.
James G. Blaine served his coun-
try well as representative In Con-
Igress, speaker of the House Of Rep
resentatives, United States senator
and secretary of state. He was a
great political leader, a great pa
triot and a great American.

against vivisection, the most cruel,

Why such a diabolical practice

INSTRUCTOR AN AMERICAN

One of the instructors at the
training center is an American,
Capt. Alex Mcleod. veteran test
pilot, soldier and adventurer, who
a short time ago was fighting the
Japs with Chang Kai Shek. Nc
Leod says he has fought with five
armies in seven wars.
Using the little community they
have established around Torontos
airport as a headquarters and
training center, the Norwegians
have built Royal Air Force that
is many times the strength of the
few dozen outdated planes which
battled the Nazis when they de-
scended on Norway a year and
three months ago. Two squadrons
are already in action with British
forces overseas.

ROWED TO SEAPLANEs

hOWED ~ SEAI LANES
The Norwegians were rowed out
to the bombing seaplanes as they
rode at anchor in a ford by a
couple of native fishermen and,
while their Nazi pilots were ashore
they took off in their captured
planes for the Shetland Islands.
The weather was bad on the way
and one plane strayed from the
formation. A few hours later three
swastika-marked planes landed on
the Shetlands amid air raid sirens
and with British guns pointed at
them ready to burst into action.
The filters who lost their way
and left the formation were not
heard from until nearly four
months later when they turned up
at the Little Norway" which has
been established around Torontos
Island Airport.
They had been forced down and
had taken to their rubber boats,
Three days later they had been
picked up by a British hospital
ship. The hospital ship was bombed
shortly after and sunk and the air.
men were finally rescued from a
drifting oar by British destroyer.
Although the story is verified by
officials of Little Norway. the
names OF the pilots are not re-
vealed for they fear that the
German government might take
revenge upon their relatives still
in Norway.
A few months ago the Germans
announced death sentences on all
Norwegians who had left the coun-

sentence applies to hundreds at
Little Norway.

tension Of benefits 10 maritime
workers not covered by present
