Lovett has left the rarefied att naosphere of big New York bank to occupy beaverboard quarters in the War Department, generously scented with disinfectant. Brown Brothers, Hartman & Go. lent him to the Secretary of War as Q special assistant, and now he has become assistant secretary.
 Until you know Lovett's past, it's hard to see how 0 railroad banker could give much advice on aviation. He and ?. Trubee Davi- son started to fly in iol6 at Port Washington, L. I. With the pride Of youth, they formed Aerial Coast Patrol Unit No. 1" and had visions of flying to Mexico to put down rebellion.
 War came soon enough, but not in Mexico. Lovett left Yale in the midst of his course. He knew war was coming Gas he knew t again in May of 1899 and even named the tnonth). He got across with the first American flyers as member of U. s. Naval Aeronautic Detachment No. 1, based at St. h. glevert, France.
 When American bombs began to fall on U-boat bases at Brugge, zeebrugge, and Ostend, the Ger. mans knew something fresh was happening. When Lovett reads today of British attacks on Chan. nel ports, he can feel the lift of the old plane he used to fly over

 Definite Solution

 We simply canot allow this Shel. ter plan to fall through" he said today. We urge everyone who can aid who has not done 50 to support as generously aS possible this golu- ton to c civic problem offered by the Salvation Army.

;ngs and limited activity of patrols of every de-
scripton. Ever now and then the big guns on the
channel coasts open up to let the other side know
they're still there, but few casualties are inflct-
further inland the shells landing on a virtual ''No
mans land"
The let-up in aerial blows is so general that
London and ether Eard-hit towns are cleaning up
the debris and wreckage Of yesterday. The RAF,
apparently, notceably, has quit going towards the
Perrin area, confining bombings to the areas of
those ether lands taken during the famous Ger
man western blitzkrieg.
ON THE SURFACE
On the surface, might be inclined to dis
miss the easing up on Britain with: "Well, they're
full" Even so, this last thought should bring
forth strong suspicion, for it seems to point
to possible invasion of the western occu-
pied areas and coast by British expeditionary
force.
1t is reliably reported that Germany has but
few weak divisions in the west and these have been
principally occupied with ruling with the iron hand
that must characterize the new conqueror. A
strong British invasion could have eased the strain
Russia and made for Hitler war on two fronts
the kind he mas tried to avoid and which he
knows would crush him miseraby.
Somehow Britain has chosen not to act, and
Russia stands in dire circumstances of falling be
fore the German cOnqueror. At least her capital
IS menaced and the government has fled further
to the east, according to the latest information.
Britain might also have sent a large expedi-
tionary force to the Russians to fight back the
Germans without waiting until the Reds are
pletely exhausted in battle

definitely that ties itself to tradi-
tions for traditions are of the
past.
A moving society constantly re-
evaluates tradition and discords
those parts of it which tend to
restrict dynamic action.
Negro Colleges are beginning to
pay the price for this lack of a
total vocational policy. They are
now in direct need of large sums
of endowment. The logical place
to get this money is from success
full alumni-successful in the
terms of money. However. the
vocational ideology of their COL
leges has omitted teaching the
value of making and manipulate
ing money. So they do not havC,
it. 49,
The colleges need large sums of
money from alumni because the
givers of large money have de-
serted tradition and joined in the
movement of our dynamic society,"
They have become scientifically
operated philanthropic groups.
1t seems to me then that Ne
grb private sld public colleges
are in dire need of turning i'm
mediately to the task of establish
ing a college policy of vocational
guidance. 1t is essential to their

Those who know that Moscow is the best fortified
in the world will find surprise if and when the Germans
reach that city their crushing and seeming victorious mod
ernized and mechanical march, their lines will crumbe
against the morale of the Russian people and mark the de-
feat of the greatest military drama in the history of the
world.
According to press reports the Germans within
hundred miles of the wall of that city around which the prob
able future of civilization hovers.
Charles L. Hill Morris College draws the
following conclusion of the of Moscow resstance
Moscow the best fortified city in the world 1t is built
like wagon Wheel with railways and ramways running
around inside Here stored within powerful supply re-
The city especially built for military defense with
camouflage cannons in many Places
In that the retreat of Russian ders might be military
strategy The German mechanical hordes being led to
the wall this great city The world in future years may
read of great marvel of the wholesale destruction of the
German army around this CITY,
If the expected happens the major portion of the Ger
man armies will be destroyed at the time about the
walls and the morale that has led Hters people
in goosesep western Europe will be forever
Then England yore will step in and win what she
has aways done-the last battle.
Thusy will the world breathe again spirit of relief ano
security The air age possibly led Hitler to believe that ne
could do what Alexander and Napoleon had failed to 90 o
fore him. His failure will show all future dctators that 1t
is futile to attempt by any other the objective OF con-
ouering the world 1t is just not in the start that's all
