FALSE ELEADERS
 | MENACE NATION
Reverence For Religious Truth, New ViriIity Need-
 ed In Education

Macon, Ga, February II. If adequate permanent national de- fense is to be assured, and if free dom, academic and national, is to be preserved, our institutions of higher learning must develop a new virilit wand must take a positive and affirmative stand concerning those principles upon which our form of government was founded, upon standards of personal conduct and upon matters of reverence for re- ligious truth, Dr. William Mather Lewis, president of Lafayette Col lege and Selective Service head of Pennsylvania, said tonight in an address at Mercer University at the annual inter-civic dinner at Macon.
 There has been too much shallow iconclaSm, too little courageous loyalty upon our campuses," he said. Too many pseudo-scholars have sought easy popularity by carrying on guerrilla warfare against those elements which make for the stabil- ity and integrity of our national life. Their approach is consistently negative.
 "Hamlet-like they are 'sicklied over with the pale caste of thought or what passes for thought in cer- tain circles. Fortunately, this group is only small minority. We are now having fine example of the versatility and devotion of many of our faculty leaders who are going queitly about the business of mak ing the college an element of real strength in the present emergency. These men are giving sane and help full guidance to students faced by serious problems. They are carry ing the benefits of the college off the campus into the community to end that men of all ages may serve their nation effectively. The real struggle is to come to America when the present armed conflict is over. It will be fought on eco- homie, social and political fields. It will be won by men who are cour- ageous, who are loyal to the truth, who cannot be bought, who have had a positive training. In it there will be no place for weddings and SniperS."

TROLLEY TRACKS
 TO BE REMOVED
Community CIHb Urges Action On Part Of
 Board Of Works

Removal of trolley tracks on East Main street will be urged on the Board of Works by a committee from the East End Community Club at the boards meeting Tuesday night. The committee will cite the hazards for motorists created by the tracks.
 The situation was brought to head by a recent series of accidents near the Scovill Mfg. Go. buildings. The tracks and icy roadway combined to cause ore crash in which no less than II cars were involved, another in which seven cars were damaged, and several more mishaps.
 At a club meeting last night it was recalled that more than year ago the city was asked to have steps taken to remove the tracks at East Main street and Meriden road but no action was taken. This is another dangerous area for cars on wet or slippery days, it was said.
 The club named Edwin Bolger chairman of the protest committee. Other members are Eugene Sulli- van, Benjamin Mover, William Foley, Frank Crowley and Mrs. Harry x. Cashin.

England's death losses in 1940, civilian and military combined, ex- ceeded annual peacetime totals by approximately 120,000, or 20 per cent according to statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Con- pany who base their analysis on official reports and statements by reliable observers. While no one would minimize the seriousness of this extra mortality, hal fof which was due to direct enemy action against the civil population and de- fense force" the statisticianS com- ment, it is so much less than what was expected, that the British people, their leaders, and medical and health authorities have been much heartned."
 The official total of civilians killed in air bombardments in England in 1940 was 23,081, but in addition, it is pointed out, the air war on civil ians was indirectly responsible for sharp rise in fatalities in highway accidents, os most of these occurred during blackouts. During the first 15 months of the war the number Of these fatal accidents totalled Ill., 424 or 3,141 more than the figure for the Is months preceding the war.
 of diseases directly related to the war" say the statisticians, "cerebrospinal meningitis was of outstanding interest in England last year because it showed marked rise in incidence, partly as result of over -crowding in the air-raid shelters in large cities. The esti- mated number of cases of the dis ease totalled 12,500, or eight times as many as in 1889, while tEe num- Der of deaths may exceed 2,500. That the number of cases and deaths was not even greater was probably deu to the fact that since children are the chief victims of this disease, the evacuation of children from endangered cities undoubtedly saved many lives"
 Another important health hazard

directions. Increased prevalence of pneumonia and influenza is especial ly to be feared, because if these dis eases get foothold, then crowding in afraid shelters, as well as the poor sanitary conditions in many of them, would supply the very con- ditions for an uncomfortable spread of contagion and the flaring up of communicable and infectious dis ease to pandemic proportions. Mind full of this, English authorities have concentrated on improving afraid shelter facilities to minimize this risk and are confident that these ef- forts will be successful. Thus far in 1941, no unusual prevalence of re- spiratory disease has been noted in England, and to that extent the cautious optimism of her health au-
 thorities has been justified"
