Tn that dim and distant time of 12 months ago there were people who called 1t a "phony war;.
 Most of the news from the front - in the form of cotnmuniques from Berlin Or Paris, which was still an important dateline was about scouting activity" artillery duels along the Rhine, local actions east Of the Moselle." Sometimes the news was, nothing to report"
 True, Jean Gtraudoux, French. Commissioner of Information, was warning in Paris that France must expect the fate of Poland if Germany is victorious" and the British were admitting serious shipping losses.
 Americans Wondered
 But many Americans, and some editorialists, still wondered if the war was the real thing.
 In Great Britain, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain addressed 8 speech to the German people. He urged them to get 3 new govern ment, one other nations could trust. He spoke of "a new order" and of disarmament.
 Italy was "non-beIigerent," which meant that though she wasn't neu- tral, she wasn't fighting, either.
 The Western Front was quiet. A correspondent with the French arm teS in the field wrote that the Mag mot Line, described two months ago us impregnable," was now, what with improvements newly made, stronger than ever"
 Adolf Hitler in a Munich beer hall speech said Germany's weapons were better than in 1914.
 Important datelfnes were Oslo, Copenhagen, The Hague, Amster- dam.
 The Dutch arrested six spies. Norway was exercised by the Alt mark incident" The British hon. ored the sailors who whipped the Graf Spec.
 Liners piled between New York and Genoa, and New York and Le Hayre. Carol was king of Ru- mania. Britain was exercing pres sure or Rumania to reduce oil ex- ports to Germany. Dr. Joseph Goehbels lectured small nations on how to be neutral.
 Copenhagen heard rtimors of "a great naval battle in the North Sea" and London denied them. Premier Edouard Daladier of Frence met with his cabinet. U. s. Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., said Britain and France "have got enough dollars" to pay for war materials bought in the United Stats.
 The French press was upset by reports that fifth columniSts were undermining the Poilus' morale by spreading tales that their wives back home were not being faithful.
 The Balkans, one headline said, Feel that Germany is losing" and Ttirkish-R Russian border incidents in the Caucasus were rumored.
 All the while one war was going on that no one called phony. On February 26, 1o4O. the day after they claimed 1O0, 1000 Russian dead on the Karelian ISthmus, the Films ad- mitted the loss of the Koivisto forts. The end, though few realized it, was in sight.
 But that other war
 In Paris 25,00O persons watched a British army rugby team beat a French army team 36 to 3. The game ended. a dispatch said. with no hard feelings"
 Many observers felt Allied victory was assured eff Italy stays out') and there was speculation about the peace.
 "But the French" 8 Paris dis patch said, do not want nasty peace"

The Commissioners had declared
the Institutions recommendation to

was branded utterly ridiculous and,
in fact, false, by Mr.. Warner and

clared the present setup Is not rep

for commissioners and delegates
from all districts. Because Of this,
the statement continues, "the county
