SOMETIMES

If times are hard and you feel
blue,
Think of others worrying too
Just because your trials are many
Don't think the rest of US haven't
any,
Life is made up of smiles and tears
joys and sorrows mixed with fears
And though life seems to US one
sided,
Trouble is pretty well divided,
If we could look into every heart.
We'd find each one had its part.
And those who travel fortunes
road .
Sometimes have the biggest load.

EGYPT:
Ouiets DOuUn

In the African campaign, the Ger
mans began the groundwork of more
vigorous aid to Italy, while the land
attacks of the British colonial army
continued favorably, though not
quite so sensationally as in previous
weeks.
The fall of Tobruk, another impor-
tant Mediterranean port, was re-
garded as a foregone conclusion,
and the British armies, in command
of Libya's important coastal roads,
moved at will toward other objec-
tives like Derna and Bengasi, the
country's capital.
Yet there was a feeling, almost
like an laura" of standstil in the
land campaign, possibly attribute
BILE to a Encouragement of forces for
a new offensive.
That the Italians were anything
but satisfied with the situation was
the most favorable reaction evident
in press dispatches. The Fascist
army in Africa was regarded as
having been rendered impotent, and
without German aid in considerable
numbers, Britain was favored to
make its victory in Africa complete.
Yet events seemed to be pointing
to the fact that the Nazis were plan
ming such move in force, and
watchers anxiously awaited the I'M
folding of such a plan.

competent" on foreign policy ques-
tions. Ambassador Kennedy was be-
ing welcomed with open arms by
isolationist editors and hailed as a
comrade and then said he considered
the isolationists the worst defeat
lists" of all.
American unity, supposedly the
nations greatest safeguard during
the stress of national defense pre-
paredness, appeared jeopardized.
National leaders differed in their
prescriptions for the critical moment
as far as the poles.
They ranged from Carter Glass,
Virginia, who wanted the U. S. to
declare war at once, to the outright
isolationist and non-interventionist
of the type of Montana's Senator
Wheeler, who opposed No. 1776 from
opening word to finish.
While this was the temper of Of
fetal Washington, a couple of U. S.
sailors famed the flame by tearing
down a Nazi banner from a German
consulate celebrating the SEVENTEEN
anniversary of the founding of the
German Reich. They clambered up
to ninth-story fiagpole in San Fran
cisco to cause a national crisis to
become that much more critical,
while thousands cheered on the side

ampton in the Mediterranean after
an attack entirely by Stukas finally
settled the question of whether a
first-class warship could Withstand
first-class plane attack.
The planes won the verdict. Yet
the Illustrious, 26,000-ton new Brit
ish aircraft carrier was more fortu-
nate, and escaped, though apparent
ly with tremendous damage inflicted
upon her.
The official British phrase stating
that she made port under her own
power" hints that she was limping,
if not crawling back to Malta.
The Inustrious carried plenty of
planes, yet dispatches failed to tell
why more of them did not get into
the fight to protect the carrier and
save the Southampton, which was
sunk by her own crew to guard her
secrets after she caught fire.
Official communicates about the IL
Observation-Disclosures incident did
say that IL Nazi bombers were shot
down into the sea, but gave no fig
ures about British planes.
The German effort with Stukas in
the Mediterranean was regarded as
of enormous significance in the
whole African war picture.
ALI British Mediterranean bases in
the vicinity of Libya. including NAL
ia and the Suez were being bombed.
This was happening while the
Greek naval authorities were report
ing their submarines had sunk three
large Italian troopships in the Adri-
attic, tending to show that the Ger
man interests lay toward opening
southwark path rather than attempt
ing to pull Italy's Albanian chest
nuts out of the fire.

Stunning more headline proportions,
with conflicting reports from
French Indo-China and from Siam
itself as to the success of the counter
moves.
Most positive claims were made
by little Siam, which claimed that
important Indo-Chinese border
points had fallen to their arms. And
while the French did not deny these
facts, they did claim that any such
advances had been purchased at an
enormous loss in manpower.
European diplomats of the Axis
powers were striving to keep Japan
and the u. S. at odds, thus hoping to
cement Japan more firmly to the

THIRD TERM:
INAUGURAL

After taking the oath of office as
President of the United States for a
precedent breaking third term,
Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered to
a waiting nation high tribute to his
faith in democracy. In the inaug-
ural address which was marked with
constant references to the esprit of
America" and the spirit of democ-
racy" the President declared that the
purpose in his next four years of
Office would be to: protect and per-
petuate the integrity of democracy"
For this" he said, 1--WE muster
the spirit of America and the faith
of America. We do not retreat. We
are not content to stand still. AS
Americans, we go forward, in the
service of our country, by the will
of God"
While some of the pomp of other
Inaugural days was missing because
of the solemn pail of foreign affairs
that hung over Washington, the thou
sands that lined Pennsylvania ave-
nue. to watch the President pass
cheered loudly as they saw his party.
The day was bright but a raw wind
chilled the onlookers.
High point of the days historic
rituals came when the President
standing below the CapitoPs white
dome, placed his hand upon a 200
year-old family Bible and swore for
the third time to preserve, protect
and defend the Constitution. The
oath was administered by Chief JUS
tice Hughes of the Supreme court.

destruction of British towns and
cities without being able to make
adequate reply.
He admitted Hitler's great advan-

armies about Europe at will.

FORWARDS:
Go the Creeks

AS Germany still continued to
withhold aid to Italy in Albania, the
Greeks moved steadily forward in
their effort to drive Italian forces
from the western shore of the Adri-
attic.
A thousand "crack" troops were
reported captured in one engage
ment, and all along the southern
and eastern battle lines, the advance
was steady, but slow.
Many American Greeks, most ia
vorable to their countrymen's cause,
were most cautious about the situa-
ton, however, informed sources
holding that the Germans were hold
ing back only because of the diff
ficulties of fighting over noun
famous Balkan terrain in the win
tertime.
They believed that the Nazis
would move in force, perhaps not
through Bulgaria (Which would
bring Turkey, perhaps Russia into
the wary but through Jugoslavia.
While admitting that many things
may happen in the next two months
to change the situation, these
sources felt anything but confident
that the Grecian forces, in the long
run, could drive out the Italians.
Particularly on the northern front
was the advance slow, though in CEN
trail Albania Klisura had fallen and
Tepelini was apparently certain
ty, and Greeks in the north, it was
felt, might be particularly vulner-
able to sudden attack from either
the Bulgarian or the Jugoslavian
border.
German aid on the Albanian front
to that point, however, had confined
itself to the entrance of a few Stukas
and bombers from the forces quar-
tered (reportedyD on Italian soil.

Britain.
Morgenthau, treasury secretary,
stepped into the arena, declaring
that Britain was right then at the
end of her dollar rope, and that
some form of unpaid-for aid must
be found if Britain was to continue
to get supplies.
Hull, in a most powerful session
with the committee which left the
nation stunned, excoriated the totali-
tarians, and called for the nation to
realize that the crisis was real and
immediate.
Stimson, war secretary, declared
in two-day bout with the commit
tee that he favored sending Amer
lean warships anywhere" and that
Britain's complete crisis was a mat
ter of go to 80 days.
Navy Secretary Knox limited that
the real crisis might be the wrestling
of Britain's navy from her control
by the Nazis, who then would be
able to establish themselves in South
America.
