international News Review
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Do you realize that we might have
been at war right now, and that we
would have been, had it not been for
the existence of calm minds in the
city of Washington? Anyhow there
was what some nations consider a
provocation, for an American de-
stroyer was the apparent target Of
a submarine attack in the waters
around Iceland. It wasn't hit, but in
such affairs it is the intent that gov
erns, and here it seems that it was
a German submarine that did the
shooting, perhaps as it appears from
some explanations, unintentionally
and on the basis of the superstition
that the vessel was British and not
American.
To Americans the chief re-
suit of the episode was the COM
f0rting that we did not get mixed
up in the war, and that there is
no prospect of that kind on this
particular account-w h tever
else may, for other reasons, be
decided in the White House and
the national capitol later on.
And, really, that's one of the per-
picking features of American life
right now: Does President Roose-
welt want to get us into the war, or
doesn't he? Some words he says,
some things he does, would indicate
that he would like to provoke con-
flict. Then there are other words
and actions that point very definitely
in the opposite direction.

Mrs. G.. L. WahIquist Tells
of Experiences in Recent
T,Uin City Storm.

On a Twin City Lines street
car during the height of the
violent gale which swept through
the Minneapolis-St. Paul district
last Thursday, Mrs. G. L. VAIL
quist of Kerrick, experienced the
thrill of a lifetime in a ride
through the Storm
In telling of the damage
wrought by the wind she also
voices the amazement of those in
the stricken area that so much
could happen in SO short time.
Her story follows:
Now 1 know how it feels to race
with a tornado! I was on street
car, north bound for Columbia
Heights. The dark, lowering cloud
was approaching swiftly from the
southwest. The race was on, and
1 won as was few jumps ahead
of the storm.
Fortunately the Bloomington Co.
lumbia Heights cars run so far apart
that no other car followed up close
enough to get into the path of the
twister. I was the only passenger
in the car at that time, and as
sat there momentarily expecting the
windows to come crashing in, ]
planned on getting under the long
seat on the windward side to avoid
splintered glass if such a thing should
occur.

line was to get off the car but the

Leib's outfit reputedly has one Of the
best defenses in Dixie this season
and if Maryland succeeds in pene-
trating it early in the game it may
be the spark to touch off a touch

Florida, however, has some pretty
good ball carriers, too, and they will

rison and Fondren Mitchell are fast

will be favorites tomorrow.
Maryland, however, has ideas OF
bouncing back into the win column
after the Duke rout, figuring Flor
ida to be somewhat overconfdent
after reading last weeks score. A
victory in this game may be all the
Terps need to put them right for the
rest of the season, while a defeat
would be well nigh disastrous.
Will Be Colorful Sidelight.
A gala atmosphere will prevail
tomorrow with special coming
events planned by numerous groups
and organizations on the campus. A
parade of floats and the crowning
of Elmira Pearson as homecoming
queen will add color between halves.
Miss Pearson was chosen Miss Mary
