Bed CoNopses,
Fat Lody's Fat
Cant Be Cut Oft
BY the Associated Press.


TAMPA, Fla, April THE op-
Grafton to remove some 100 of the
800 pounds of Mrs. Ruth Pontico,
jovial carnival fat lady, has been
postponed-the delay being an engi-
neering rather than surgical prob
lem.
The standard hospital bed, into
which she attempted to climb at
Tampa Municipal Hospital a few
minutes before an anesthetic was to
be administered, collapsed, and there
she sat, helpless but unhurt.
Doctors arrived quickly, however,
and after examination said her
pulse had increased to the point
where they thought it best to call
the whole thing off for the time
being.
The patient said she usually
weighs around 725 pounds when the
carnival takes the road late in April.
She hopes the operation will reduce
her at least to that figure.
to that figure.
Once she went on a reducing diet,
she said, but gained pounds In four
days and gave it up.

prepare them for an ordeal which
they had not anticipated. Instead
of sounding a few-worded battlecry,
he had to remind them in vast
number of words of what they were
fighting for.
Psychology of the Leader.
The psychology which emanates
from a leader counts for much at
the outset of a great battle. Hitler's
appeal carries the note of irritation
of the spoiled child OF fortune who
has had all doors oper to his magic
touch. But that of Yugoslavia did
not open to him.
When it was conceived in German
staff plans that the usual technique
of inflltrations should provide a
take-off for the attack down the
valley of the River Vardar, with the
other jaw of the pincers the valley
of the Struma for taking Salonika,
the Yugoslavs chose war instead of
consent.
1t looks as though Gen. Wilhelm
Lists hand were forced. He had to
hasten to plug openings lest the
Allies should be ahead of him and
to guard against the Allies getting
the jump by closing in on Albania
The German war machine now
has to fight not up just one hill, as
1t did at Verdun in 1916, but up
mountain after mountain and
through narrow defiles. The Ger
man staff has learned great respect
for the lunches of their Fuehrer,
who signs himself Commander-in
Chief in his proclamation. Hither-
to his lunches have been right.
Will this one be right, further to
convince him that he Is a greater
military genius than Napoleon?

fense in North Col Frederick Palmer.
ern Yugoslavia 1t would be wasted
sacrifice for the peoples own sake.
They might be permanently deliv-
cred into Adolf Hitler's hands. Their
only hope for eventual deliverance
and the security of their independ-
ence is in military victory which
can be won only to the southwark
in the mountain country which must
now appear as Gods own gift to
them.
Never has the Duke of yelling
tons saying about the Importance
of an army knowing how to retreat
had a more apt application than in
Yugoslavia today.
Retreat calls not only for skill in
the tactical handling and cohesion
of troops, but that the people in
the area where the army is falling
back, shall not turn refugees in
panic to impede the army in its
rearguard action TO protect an
orderly withdrawal.
Easier Than in France.
This should be easier than In
Northern France and in densely
populous Belgium, where the people
were taken utterly by surprise by
the onslaught of tanks and bombs
and machine gun fire by diving
planes.
Yugoslavia, especially the noun
famous part, is comparatively thinly
populated. an agricultural country
of villages.
The Yugoslavs have known what
was coming since Prince Paul was
thrown out of power. There has
been time to warn them what was
expected of them. They are not
readily excitable. They have been
used to taking it" and biding their
time in other wars. The peasants,
particularly. are inherently tough
minded and phlegmatic with ma
tural tactical cunning as fighters.
While there is little news of any
decisive trend at this writing it is
revealed, however, that the Germans
are "softening" Belgrade by the
usual pI IClIlIlllldly iIlCIllOu W 4dIlIi-
tate occupation. and they are across
the frontier and advancing from the
Rumanian and Bulgarian borders
over the level country of Northern
Yugoslavia. Although they make
rapid progress and can propagan-
dicly glorify their success in raising
the swastika flag over Belgrade, this
amounts only to a movement for
position for the real struggle to
come.
On the Struma River.
There is also a report Of stiff
fighting in the valley of the River
Struma, which seems most likely.
The Germans must get that valley or
as much of it as they can in their
primary rush-which is one bit of
evidence that this time the Germans
could not choose their hour to strike.
Action was compelled before the
German war machine. which is ac-
customed to thorough methodical
preparation in the gathering OF its
forces, was ready to put its full
weight behind its blows.
Hitler's proclamation further bears
out this conclusion. 1t is notably
labored and prolix in contrast with
his summons to his troops in the
attack on the western front. in which
he said they we're to settle the future
of Germany for a thousand years.
Greek King Georges With the help
of God we shall win" carries more
conviction.
1t was as though Hitler had to re-
assure his people by trumpeting all
his familiar forms of incitation to

in view of all the facts"
Count Teleki made up his mind last
Thursday. He blew his brains out.
The loss is more than a loss for
Hungary. 1t is loss for all of Europe.
For Count Teleki. like all great European
statesmen, was great patriot and great
European. Because he loved his own
country with the deepest devotion, he
loved Europe, and saw his own country
as servant of the European idea A
devout Christian, scientist, a man with
the long view, he cared for Hungary as
one of the bulwarks of civilization in Eu
rope, as little land with a mission--the
mission to serve the unity of Western
civilization.

growing impatient. 1t is waiting for
the President to take the initiative
and solve the crisis. If he fails there
will be plenty of legislation and
labor will regret the day 1t let its
