Death Rises
AS Parents
Go to Dance

DEATH stood grinning through
~ the windows OF a modest
home in Pueblo, Colo, on the
night of Saturday, Aug. IS, 1886
He dismounted from his
black steed, heard Mr.. and Mrs.
Riley A. Drain leave the house,
watched the disappearing light
of their car as they left the
lonely, unlighted block in which
their home was located The
dread horseman peered through
the windows and saw his unsus-
pecting victim and her younger
sister prepare for bed And
then Death. personified in the
form OF two human fiendS,
struck!
Mr.. and Mrs. Drain attended a
dance that night. leaving their
two daughters by the mans
previous marriage-pretty To-
year-old Dorothy and winsome
12-year old Barbara--to retire
early 30 they would be well
rested for tomorrow's gala pic
mic arranged by their Sunday
school.
Their younger brother, Billy.
was already fast asleep in an
other room.
When the parents returned at
2 a. m. Sunday, an evil Fremont
ton sent a nervous SILVER OF
apprehension through the father
as he looked through the front
window from the porch and dis
covered that floor lamp in the
living room was out.
Dorothy! Barbara he called,
and ran into the girls bedroom
at the rear Of the house.
The words came slowly as he
blanched at the horrible sight
that met his eyes.
There on a crimson-spattered
bed lay the partially nude bodies
of his two daughters.

Population View

II. p. Fairchild, in his essay,
People: Too Many or Too
Few?" says:
There can be little doubt
that the prevailing sentiment
among the civilized nations of
the world IL still overwheim-
ingly In favor Of large and
fairly rapidly growing popula-
lions.
The Vicar OF Wakefield was
expressing the prevailing sentl-
ment OF the early twentieth cen
fury almost M accurately as
that Of the early nineteenth
when he said;
II was ever OF opinion that
the honest man who married
and brought up q large family
did more service than he who
continued single and only talked
OF population.
my children, though I had
but six, I considered them n
very valuable present made TO
my country, and consequently
looked upon IL as my debtor
"And the alarmed citizen of
today who writes an emotional
letter 20 his homo paper IL Just
as unaware as was the good
Vicar that his notions about
population increases are merely
the reflection of ideas that have
been instilled into thu minds Of
the common man for centuries
by those individual and classes
who had something 20 gain from
the unrestricted procreatlon Of
the masses"

sonally, I think there ars too

I spoke OF science and war
farther up. Julian Huxley goes
into that subject in "Conscript-
ing Science for War" wherein
he seems to think that science

tional politics gets a haymakeN
Subject for Debate
He believes that science must
serve war. for he saysI
'Tf there Ii any danger OF war
at all. tho preparations for IL
should be scientific, as otherwise
they will be entirely wasted"

Huxley writes, he is here vague,
cloudy, non-committal. Maybe
that's pure science"

Gerard in his stimulating essay

Hooton OF Harvard, who says
on the antiquity Of man:

~Others are born TO sit on the
top Of sagpoles, contemplating
the emptiness Of their pomachs.

neared her borders, grew more ner-

The Prussians, who had been sub

began a new phase of his war
against England-by attacking Rus

Warsaw fell, and Napoleon laid
siege to Danzig. Both armies dug
in for the winter, but the Cossacks

greatest army up to its time, men
from twenty nations" subject to
France. Of $4,000 who began the
second campaign against Russia,
two-thirds were Germans. Austrians,
Poles and Italians. 1t was to be a
western crusade against Asiatic Rus
STA, and Poland was to be restored.
But Napoleon's soldiers showed
human frailty. They no longer were
eager to reach the battlefield, and
marched under compulsion The
time was poor. There had been no
harvest, horses suffered from collie
for lack of forage. In ten days a
third of the mounts were out Of
service. The heat was willing. There
was serious struggling.
The Russian strategy was to re-
treat Napoleon's maneuvers mis-
carried because the opposition was
not there. The front Widened from
1876 to leo miles. His total force
dwindled to $4,000. In five weeks
he advanced only 200 miles. The

MET DISASTER
IN OLD RUSSIA
By RAY PEACOCK
p Feature Service writer


With a heavy heart" Adolf Hit
Ter watched the events which pre-
ceded his declaration of war upon
Russia.
Heavy, too, was the heart of Ma
poleon when he began fighting
Russia 134 years ago. For Napoleon,
like Hitler, was turning on for
mer ally. Each hoped to defeat Eng
land by the roundabout method Of
subjugating Europe and Asia.
And while Napoleon banked on
cavalry and artillery, and Hitler
banks on airplanes and armored di-
visions. the parallel between the
two campaigns-in motives, STRAIT
egg and general background - IS
startling.
The coincidence begins with
birth. Neither Napoleon nor Hitler,
strictly speaking, was native to the
country of his fame. Napoleon was
a Frenehman because of reunion be
tween Corsica, his birthplace, and
France. Hitler was born in Austria.
And coincidence" has reached
the point where Hitler chose the
same month, almost the same day
(June 22) that Napoleon picked to
begin his second and major cam
paign against Russia-June q,
1872.
Both Pamphleteers
Both were political students and
pamphleteers, both came into power
through political unrest, both tast-
ed poverty. Both fought England
because it would not accept con
tinental realignment. Napoleon's OBJ
jective at the peak of his career was
to blockade England, which meant
suppression of all Europe And each
new conquest demanded another.
Early in the Napoleonic wars the
Little Corporal made an alliance
with Russia, which caused England
to fight back more strongly than
ever But the Franco-Russian al
lance cooled because of the pro-
jected division of Turkey Neither
wanted to give the other Constan-
tinople (IstanbuD. Russia hesitated
