A South Coast English town
which the Germans identified as
Portsmouth was "smothered" early
today with Nazi firebombs and ex-
plosives, apparently taking heavy
toll OF lives, and the British hit
back at the German-held coast OF
France.
The Germans described the raid
on Portsmouth as a large scale"
assault. and the British acknowl-
edged-without Identifying the
German objective by name-that
the Nazi raiders did considerable
damage" and caused a number of
casualties.

German-Russian relations by news
OF the new Soviet-German trade

whereby the Russians undertake to
ship great stocks OF grain, other
foodstuffs and war materials to
Germany in exchange for manufac-
tured articles.
A Russian communique declared
the pact gave fresh evidence of
mutual confidence"
The possibility that Russia may
become an even greater medium for
feeding warning Germany also was
seen in news from Buenos Aires
that a Russian trade delegation

what more can I do? There
seems to be no use in going to see
her just to be snubbed again. Yet
for Kane's sake and for the chill
dren's too / would be glad to make
peace"
In answer to Lila I am going to
quote again what was printed here
some years ago; the true story of
fine woman in our town.
In her case the mother-in-law was
positively hostile; she had picked
out another girl for her son, she
would not even speak to the girl he
married.
For two years Don and 10 had to
live in another city; when they re-
turned to our town 10 called on her
mother-in-law, who refused to see
her.
Breakfast With Grandma Works.
After that Don asked his wife
somewhat uncertainty If she would
mind his going to see his mother. 10
said of course not, and to take the
baby. So Don took Phyllis to call
on the old tyrant, who suggested
that they come to breakfast on Sun
day.
For two years Don and Phyllis,
and after awhile baby Arthur, went
to have breakfast with Grandma and
Grandpa. Grandpa, by the way, was
a gentle, brow-beaten old fellow who
saw something of 10 on the sly, but
never dared face down his wife.
10 surrendered husband and chill
dren every Sunday for two years
and more, and then one day the old
lady came to see 10 and burst into
tears and asked forgiveness. Now
they all have Sunday breakfast and
many another meal together.
Smart, or just plain old fashioned
good, in all that time 10 has never
said cruel, critical, resentful word.
She solved the problem in her own
way, and it was the way that never
fails.
Keep Calling.
So my advice to Lila is to call
again, and again after that. To ask
Kane's mother to come in for a
family supper. To ignore the past,
letting the actions Of the present
speak louder than any memory of
foolish hot words in day long dead.
For in her heart the older woman
is dying to be friends. Years Of
pride and hate may have built bar
riers across and around that heart;
they are not easily lowered. But she
loves her son, and so she loves be-
yond all other loves the children of
her son, and she thanks God in that
stubborn soul of hers that Kane has
found a wife who has given him a
real home and lovely children.
Lila can afford to be humble, to
be patient, to be loving to Kane's
mother. Someday she may want
some other young woman, strong in
youth and beauty and love, to be all
that to her. Family unity is thing
of incalculable value in all our lives;
it enriches and beauties everyday
drudgery; it puts into the souls and
characters of children something
that nothing else can replace.
Love is the irresistible weapon.
Loves manifestations in patience,
humility, forgiveness, kindness are
an arsenal no human heart can re-
sist. To make friend Of an enemy
is one of the privileges of all human.
