A Familiar Refrain
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enqurer)
 Adolf Hitler is in position where it is not nec- essary for him to account to his party, or to any, one else, for what he intends to do. In democratic lands government heads must speak at reasonable intervals, on both their accomplishments and their aims But if the Chancellor of the Reich chose to remain silent for many months it would be mostly all right with the Nazi party and Germany-or it had better be!
 Thus each of Hitler's speeches is designed not to fulfill obligation but purpose, either at home or abroad. With considerable skill Hitler has helped fight the war with speeches.
 But there is law of diminishing returns which affects Der Fuehrers speeches just as surely as it affects physical forces. The more and the oftener Hitler threatens, the less becomes the effect.
 The repetition of dire threats and dark assur- ances by now is losing much of its previous magic, not only because of the law of diminishing returns but also because in recent months Nazi prowess has not kept pace with Der Fuehrer's tongue. He prom ised to be in London last summer, but has been unavoidably detained for more than half year now matter which seriously reflects upon the vaunted Nazi time schedule He promised an irresistible bitz- krieg by air, and failed to establish air supremacy
 England, imagine, IS rather more happy to hear Hitler boast of what he is going to do than she would be to hear nothing from him, for the latter would bespeak the greater confidence.
 The democracies can no longer afford to under estimate the power and artfulness of the Nazi war machine But they are, fortunately, now at point where the speeches of Adolf Hitler do not frighten them to death.

EDUCATION FOR DEFENSE

One important part of the national defense program which is far out ahead of schedule is the training of workers for defense industries. Last year this vocational education plan was set up to train 100000 workers by next June 30. Now U. S. Commissioner of Education John w. Stakeholder reports that about 100000 will have been trained by that time.
 His report shows that more than 800 cities have made the facilities of their vocational trade and industrial schools available for defense training More than 300 of these cities have put their voca- tona schools on 24-hour day six-day week schedules.
 What is more, enrolment in the regular voca- tional education program of the nations schools is the highest in history with approximately 2,OO0- 900 receiving such training at the present time. large proportion of the occupations trained for in this regular program directly useful to defense industry needs
 Basic and related training in such defense vital skills as pattern-making, welding sheet metal drafting machine shop, electricity and auto me- chanics is being received by youths all over the United States in these vocational courses
 Tn this teaching program millions of people in thousands of local communities of every State are working with heightened morale because they are actual participants in great national effort, announces Commissioner Stakeholder. They are making large financial contributions also ~ State governments have spent more than billion dollars in providing the buildings and equipment in which the training is given For the regular vocational education program the Federal Government through grants-in-aid has supplied funds for teachers salaries and supervision, but for these purposes the States and local communities annually match the Federal grants with about two dollars for every dollar contributed by the central government Patrio tic American school boards have joined patriotic American citizens in general in putting both school buildings and personnel at the service Of the nation
 Twenty-three years of cooperation by the Fed eral State and local forces for vocational training have yielded real preparedness In l917-1918 the newly-sponsored vocational education system could train only 6o000 workers for industries in 18 months. During the current year 23-year-od tional education will train more than 100000 in addition to the graduates of its regular courses
 National attention has been focused in the past few months chiefly upon the emergency voca-

There was German imperial eagle of cast bronze, with French sword struck through its breast and bronze tablet with inscription which began Here, November H. 1918, Teuton arro- gance was -"
 Another armistice has been signed there and since then the railway car with it's marble shelter the bronze eagle and the tablet have been removed Weeds grow in their place. Only the statue Of Foch remains looking down desolation.
 If the spirit of Foch inhabts the statue-as spirits have been wont to do from the time of the Egyptians and the ancient Greeks-one easily imagine its reflections: This not the place only few miles from Paris-for the German sur render; it should have been the other side o the Rhine And when nation erectS monuments to victory it is careful to surround them with ar invncible guard.
 General Pershing commander of the American Expedtionary Force agreed with Foch-and, let it ne added, with Petain-that the armstice ought no be signed until the German Army had at least been driven from French soil The world would have been spared many calamities if the surrender had taken place at Frankfort instead of Rethondes.

anisms of many sorts. Chemists also will prove their ingenuity in aiding government efficiency. Proof of speed in production will be evident next month when many factories will turn out amazing results of intensified industry.
 National Issues: Equalization of services and contributions neces- sary in the great preparedness pro- gram will be a problem of great interest at this time A few will ap- pear to bear the heaviest burdens while many pursue routine affairs. The need of wholehearted work to- ward national defense will put upon one and all the responsibility of safeguarding democracy and the American way of life Real sacri- flee should be cheerfully accepted as a duty for all, the seers de- clare.
 International Affairs: Japan's grandiose plan to rule Greater Asia, including the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies, will not be neglected. even though it may be slow in its advancement. The dream of power includes the Nipponese hope of dominating the world in- dustrially and the seers forecast for 1943 and 1945 the most daring aggressions, if these ambitious peo- pie have not been subdued. At pres- ent, the chance to strike an unex- pected blow at the United States is awaited patiently.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of pros perity and advancement. Litigation should be avoided and property safeguarded.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be successful and fortu- nate in most ways. but their health may be delicate. Many will inherit fortunes.

MESSAGE TO PREACHERS

This same desire to keep the Am erica First Committee in the back ground was apparent in an inner of- flee memorandum of February 3 signed "R.D.S. Jr." Presumably R Douglas Stuart, Jr., Director of the Committed and sent to members of the staff. It read:
 With reference to the memo writ ten by MT. Bliss on January 29 re- garding subsidizing some of the bet ter anti-war groups, l want you to understand this information is strictly confidential. This informa- ton should go no further than this office"
 Other correspondence revealed an indirect move to propagandize some of the ministers of the country who might oppose the lend-lease bill For on January g General Wood sent letter to George w Robnett Secretary of the Church League of America, 53 Jackson Boulevard Chicago, which said:
 Your letter of January 28 has just been received I am delighted that you have the same view of Bill No. 1776 that our America First Committee has, and I think. the idea that the statement en- closed should be placed in the hands of every minister is sound one. En- closed herewith is my persona check as small contribution toward this work"
 On the same day, General Wood also sent an office memo to R. Doug las Stuart, Jr., in which he said:

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
SUNDAY, MARCH g

Benefic aspects rule today which is not important in it's planetary direction. The morning is most fa- vorable to clear thinking. It is a time for facing war realities as they affect the United States.
 Heart and Home: Women are subject to adverse influences which presage many changes in the Am erican way of life. In the future months need of recognizing perils will be emphasized by grave inter national developments which warn that this nation cannot avoid con- cern over yet distant wars. This is not fortunate sway for wom- en, but should cause them to think seriously and plan wisely for fu- ture which is to bring exacting duties and restricted expenditures. The days of careless luxury for Americans are numbered and should be enjoyed with special de- light while they last.
 Business Affairs: Great activity among merchants, manufacturers and exporters is prognosticated There will be liberal spending among individuals who will feel that they should enjoy what to- day offers, because the future is uncertain. Transportation compan- ies will profit substantially, for there will be increased travel in the United States. Many conven- tions and large meetings will con- tribute to the prosperity of hotels
 National Issues: Reluctance to acknowledge that peril faces the greatest of democracies will cause marked resentment against certain persistent isolationiSts and peace advocates. Events will bring about general awakening to wars men, ace for the Western Hemisphere. Those who have been deaf to warn ing voices of statesmen, correspon- dents and national heroes will hear the distant sound of bombs in a way which inspires them to eff cient action. Unity of thought and purpose are presaged for the Am erican people.
 International Affairs: The full moon of this month reveals Mars prominent in the planetary influ- ences affecting Washington. In- creased and for Britain will be i'm perative. Intensified NaM warfare is prognosticated. There is sigr read as presaging the introduction by German fighters of new hor- TOTS which may precipitate inter- vention by the United States. Eng land has evil portents threatening increased intensity of attack ane attempts at invasion.

SENATOR GEORGE sOFTENING.

SENATOR GEORGE SOFTENING?
 The America First Committee all so has maintained confidential ob- server in Washington who has writ ten some rather interesting memos regarding the views of various Sen ators. In one memo marked Conf dential (From Observer, Washing tom" and signed "P.TO." it is re- ported:
 Senator George, previously deem- ed impartial, seems to have shifted his stand. This shift appeared yes- terday after Lord Halifax paid him a surprise visit to talk about how fast action may be expected from the Senate on the bill. Senator George. after the conference with Halifax. announced that speed on the bill would continue and that the Committee would sit longer hours next week. .. All in all, it is considered that George is being softened up by the Administration probably by his old friend Secretary Hull.
 Incidentally, the visit of Halifax to the Hill reveals an important change in the attitude of press and public. A year ago any such action by foreign Ambassador, including the Ambassador of Great Britain would have elicited strong expres- sions of resentment No such expres sions are visible in today's press.
 Another confidential memo by the America First Observer and dated January 30 reported sharp disa- greement between Senator Taft on the one side and ex-President Hoover and Senator McNary on the other. McNary and Hoover prefer that the fight be carried on by means of a series of amendments
