In the United States are still fac
ing our problems In the frivolous
spirit Of children playing the
game Of cops and robbers. In
stead Of getting hold of the solid
facts, which give US strength, we
are stalking our future on eloquent
words and on seductive fantasies.
In tho debate before congress
sional committees on the lend
ease bill, for example, the divi-
Zion Of opinion has been unrealis-
tic. Conclusions have been based
on wishful thinking and emotional
hopes. The real question before the
Congress and the nation is How
strong Is America"
I believe that the strength OF
the United States is potentially
the greatest OF any nation In the
world. but IL Is not constant and
unchanging factor. It reaches Its
peak when the people are united,
and when government, industry
and agriculture cooperate along
sound economic lines. On the other
hand. our capacity to raise pop
ular living standards In peace or
to wage successful battles In war
Is weakened by domestic class
warfare. political business batting.

BELGRADE, Feb. 26.-Twelvs
thousand German soldiers. chiefly
motorized units, invaded Bulgaria
from the Dobruja section of Ru-
mania yesterday afternoon. it was
reported from Sofia, the capital OF
Bulgaria. today.
The Germans crossed into Bull
[garia over a Danube river bridge
near Chernavoda, according to
these advices.
"a Belgrade dispatch re-
ceived in Budapest said that
the troops entered Bulgaria at
two places-vidin near the
Yugoslav frontier and at a point
in southern Dobruja. The cross
ing began at midnight
efforts to obtain contact
with Sofia by telephone from
Berlin were fruitless. Authorf-
ties said that telephone service
to Sofia was disturbed" Tha
German propaganda ministry
said nothing is known" of any
German invasion of Bulgaria-)
THREE TROOP TRAINS
Three German troop trains were
reported to have left Vidin in the
direction of Sofia.
II was believed that altogether
10000 German soldiers will
march into Bulgaria over various
border points from Rumania.
Yesterday King Boris Of Bull
garia candidly admitted his coun-
try could not resist If the Ger
mans decided to enter his king
dom. But he told leaders Of oppo-
sition- political parties that he
would strive to keep Bulgaria out
of war.
The belief prevailed in Belg- lie
and other Balkan capitals that
German occupation of Bulgaria
would be completed within a few
days.
Prior to the reported German
invasion, Bulgaria continued its
military preparations. Orders were
issued forbidding motor cars q
leave Sofia on grounds they might
be needed by the army "at any
moment"

WE LIKE this letter because
w we think il is a beautiful
statement of a true soldiers.
conception of what army au-
thority and respect for the flag
means.
Our correspondent is an old
time regular. with y years of
service to his credit. And since
he agrees that the Habinyak
sentence was excessive. we have
no argument with him. IT may
be recalled that Habinyak was
first given 10 years and nine
months for INSTRUMENTATION in
refusing TO obey orders, which
was almost Immediately reduced
by higher authority to three
years.
If the sentence had not been
excessive, the Habinyak case
would have attracted no atten-
tion whatever, but under the
circumstances we think il most
certainly warranted nationwide
comment lest something of the
kind be repeated in other cases.
BY the way. we wonder how
Habinyak is now conducting
himself? He ought to be worth
a follow-up story.
Another thing our correspond

judge by the results in Private
