Memories
By RUTH E. GRAHAM, Is,

Langley Junior High School.
Empty and desolate on the hill,
The old schoolhouse stands there
still.
The many inkspots and dirty floors,
The carved, worn desks and sticky
doors.
The ragged books and hickory spray
Bring memories of a toilsome day.
These memories, though at first bad,
To an aged heart are sweet and sad.

Taft Predicts Heavy Taxes.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
intended to place on record his con-
viction that heavy new taxes would
be necessary. He said he favored
an increase in income and manu-
factuIers' excise taxes as a Begin
ming, but added that still other lev
les might have to be imposed.
Senator Nye declared that he
would join later on with other oppo-
nentS OF the BritiSh-aid measure
to propose s3,500 100000 of addi-
tiona. taxes annually.
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis-
souri, likewise asserted that "unpre-
cederted" taxes would be necessary
and Senator Wheeler said that this
is going to bring home to the
American people the cost Of aiding
Britain before we aid America"
Senator Wheeler said he would

Constance N. Rourke,
Author and Critic, Dies
BY Tire Associated Press.

BY tft Associated Press.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March
24.-Constance Mayfeld Rourke, au-
thor, critic and a contributor to
numerous magazines, died here yes
terday. She was SIS years old.
Miss Rourke had suffered a frac-
tured vertebra in a fall at her home
last week.
Her book, american Humor-a
Study of the National Character"
was adjudged one of the Is best
books of 1881 by the American Lii
brary Association.
Miss Rourke was born in Cleve-
land in 1885, was graduated from
Vassar in 1907 and studied at the
Sorbonne, in Paris. From 1910 to
1915 she was an instructor of Eng
liSh at VaSSar.
Her other works included "Trum-
pets of Jubilee" ''Troupers of the
Gold Coast, or the Rise of Lotta
Crabtree," "Davy Crocket." "Audo-
Dor" and Charles Sheeler: Artist

political tactics he has pursued for
the last eight year; l. e., seek to
cause unrest by means of propa-
ganda and exploit the political dis
integrating forces in all other
countries.
But he is exposed TO similar risks.
Even the most daring combinations
of land and air forces and the ad-
vantage of inner lines and new
political alliances cannot give him
mobility equal to that of the Brit
ish Navy. The weakness of his
scheme lies in the uncertainty and
hazardousness of his enterprises and
in the possibility of unexpected de-
vel0pmentS arising from unforeseen
contingencies. An unexpected re-
sistance, similar to that put up by
the Greeks, might cause him severe
reVerSeS.
Allies Weakness.
Germany's allies constitute an
other weakness. Situations similar
to that prevailing in Italy might
arise and exhaust German strength
in assistance to forlorn hopes.
The greatest weaknesses of this
scheme, however, will be found in
the fact that it leaves the best
qualities of Germany's fighting
forces unexploited. In enterprises
such as those enumerated above, the
armored divisions could be used only
TO a very restricted extent. One
day Germany'S armies might be
overtaken by the fate which befeu
the Maginot Line. All the new arm
amentS of the German nation might
De shown up as illuSory. But it
does not seem credible that Ger

last war it was Ludendorf who
found himself forced by shortage of
petrol and corn to undertake risky
adventures in Southern Russia and
the Caucasus just at the time when
he was engaged in the decisive cam
paign in the west.

 SENATOR GEORGE
 SOFTENING??
 The America First Committee has maintained confidential ob- server in Washington who has written some rather interesting nemos regarding the views of various senators. In one memo marked Confidential (From Ob- server, Washington" and signed P. T. O. it is reported:
 ."SenatOr George, previously deemed impartial, seems to have shifted his stand. This shift appeared yesterday after Lord Halifax paid him a surprise visit to talk about how fast action may be expected from the Sem ate on the bill. Senator George, after the conference with Hali- fax, annu0nced that speed on the bill, would continue and that the committee would sit longer hours next week All in all, 1t is considered that George is being 'softened up by the Administra- ti0n, probably by his old friend Secretary Hull.
 Incidentally, the visit of HaIi- fax to the Hill reveals an im- p0rtant change In the attitude of press and public. A year ago any such action by 8 foreign am- basasdOr, including the ambassa- dor of Great Britain would have eIiclted strong expressions of re- sentiment, No such expressions are visible In tOday's press"
 Another confidential memo by the America First Observer and dated Jan 90 reported sharp dis- agreement between Senator Taft on the one side and ex-President Hoover and senator McNafy on the other. McNary and Hoover prefer that the fight be carried on by means Of . series Of amend- ments. rather than by one amend- inent as Senator Taft has pros posed McNary afid Hoover say that for technical parliamentary reasons q number of amendments would be the better mothod"
