Beware!
BY Ruth Taylor

The fence straddlers are at last
happy. With the outbreak of the
Communist war, they can
slip off their uncomfortably spiked
fences and revert to their true
colors. Those of pinkish character
can don their masks and robes
and slip in among the liberals, say
ing I'VE always were one with
you" Those of the Nazi persuasion
can go around with the disgrunt-
led "haves who have not as much
as they had" and say, Its all the
fault of those awful Reds! Let's
wage a Holy War against them!"
The manipulators of foreign ide-
ologies never will understand the
American temperament. We may be
from Missouri, and we may have
to be shown, but once is enough
we don't have to be shown Sec
ond timei The Nazi- Soviet pact
and the subsequent love feasts be-
tween both groups, their ardent
acceptance of each others policies,
the sabotaging of our plants, and
the hampering of defense work,
was all the veidence we needed.
Now when the Nazis come
around saying, 1--WE didn't do any
thing. 1t as all the Communists,
we will not be fooled, and when the
Communists come and say, Help
us-we always stood for freedom"
we will likewise not be misled.
We shall be deluged with propa-
ganda. Those who few weeks ago
called the Soviet their ally will
appeal to us against them on the
religious ground, assuming that
we have completely forgotten what
they themselves have done to Jews,
Catholics, and Protestants. Those
who called the Nazis Comrades
will come to us appealing for sup
port in the name Of equality, for
getting how well we know that
their idea of equality is that of re-
ducing to a common level rather
than our ideal of democracy of
raising to uncommon heights.
Beware these false prophets!
Adhere to the line of your belief
in democracy and all that it has
meant as workable form Of gov
eminent. Democracy is what we
are striving for, and it is all that
we are seeking to maintain. Make
no mistake about that.
The new combat in Europe has
only one meaning for us. It is the
slackening before the flood rush.
Let us build the levee as high and
firm as we can in this short span
of time and not be drawn away
from this vital task by any alien,
self-seeking voices. We have job
to do. Let's stick to it!

Case Of Nazi
Draft Evader

OCLEVELAND, March g. @
The Federal Bureau of Investi-
CATION today was asked to look
into the case of Albert G. Eng
lert, 32-year-old native German
who refused to appear for induc-
ton into the selective service
after registering for the draft.
Englert, a bakery salesman,
filed his first citizenship papers
at st. Joseph, Mich, Sept. Z,
1887, according to records at the
Berrien county clerks office.
He told Charles c. Clark, Sec
rotary of his draft board, tina. he
intends to return to Germany
and would take his chances on
CONSUMPTION there.
After registering for the draft
because he was an alien who had
declared his intention of becom-
ing a citizen, Englert had to be
summoned twice to appear for q
physical examination, after
which he was placed in class
Ia.
On February 6 he informed
Clark he ha6 cancelled" the
document of citizenship inten-
ton, which he had filed at st.
Joseph, and on Feb. 10 he failed
&c appear TO- induction.
The northern Ohio office Of
the FIJI was asked to investigate
the case by Emerich B. Freed, u.
S. district attorney. Freed said

gated in New York and Texas
and in both cases the men were
placed under arrest. German
consuls furnished bond.

CHAPTER XVI

Ann returned the next day,
sweet faced, saddened.
From her room upstairs where
she sat bolstered in pillows,
April heard the first greetings
in the hall.
Ann was saying with a catch
in her throat, You're such darl-
ings. I can't tell you how happy
I am to be home. It's better than
being prima DONNA"
She was all sympathy and
kindness to April. "Pl be a
Nightingale one way If not an
other" she smiled. wait until
you see how I'll nurse you, April.
It doesn't seem right for anyone
as gay as you to have your wings
