Hitler has also met stouter, smarter re-
sistance all along the line.
Against Napoleon, the Russians used
generally retreating, sucking-in STRAIT
egy. In addition, there were amazing
bungles on both sides.
At Smolensk, the French nearly
knocked themselves out, and if the Rus
slams had been clever enough to change
their strategy quickly and strike back,
they might have demolished them.
At Borodino, Napoleon bungled The
Russians were defeated in the engage
ment, but Napoleon's forces were thrown
into such confusion that he could not
follow up and annihilate the Russian
Army.
Napoleon arranged seven-hour
armistice for the Russians to evacuate
Moscow in exchange for their promise
not to destroy the shelter and provisions
his army needed. Thus he got into the
city, but his army was no sooner in than
the Russians sneaked back and burned
and destroyed Moscow so that it was un-
tenable.
On October 19-only six weeks from
this date-the French moved out-and
on the 9th were beaten by the resurgent
Russians at MaloyaroslavetZ.
On the 9th came the first frosts of the
winter that soon vanquished Napoleon.
BY the 1st Of December he was back In
Paris, beaten Emperor.

Hitler isn't getting to Moscow any
faster than Napoleon, whose fastest
mobile unit was horse.
The two would-be conquerors of Rus
sia started their drives toward Moscow
on almost the same date-Hitler on June
%, Napoleon on June "a. To maintain
the parallel, the German Fuehrer would
have to stride into the high-walled
Kremlin as a conqueror on Friday, Sep
tember IL.
1t was at the Kremlin that little
Napoleon, beneath the smoke of many
fires set by the Russians, wound up an
83-day campaign launched from line
through Poland and East Prussia in
1872
Hitler's drive, carried on by panzer
divisions, dive bombers and parachutists
in contrast to Napoleon's horse and foot
troops, is n days old.
Napoleon got to Smolensk on August
Is. Hitler, possibly conscious of the an
niversary, began claiming Smolensk
month sooner, although the German high
command did not say until August 6
that ''the battle of Smolensk' had been
won. On August II, when the first
American correspondent was allowed in,
battle was raging just beyond the city.

with President Roosevelt, his background
should have made him conservative.
The Biddle name is synonymous with
ultra conservative Philadelphia society.
The new Attorney General is directly
descended from Edmund Randolph, the
first Attorney General. At exclusive
Groton School, where only the sons Of
the rich or the socially elect are ad-
mitted, Biddle prepared for Harvard.
Biddles Won the Prizes.
In one respect, however, he differed
from the pattern of his class. His family
was not rich. In fact, he and his
brothers did tutoring and other intel
lectual jobs at Harvard to exc out the
small allowance they received from
home People commonly assume that
he is wealthy and Biddle painstakingly
explains that the money is in another
branch of the family which is allied with
the DreXels, Philadelphia bankers
At Groton he came under the in
fiuence of the headmaSter, DR.. Endicott
Peabody, who retired last spring after
presiding over the spiritual wellbeing
of three generations of adolescents.
Francis was, on the whole, a good pupil
who wanted, like his brother. George,
to excel and to be liked.
Frequently President Theodore Roose-
welt, whose sons were in school, turned
up for prize day. On one occasion

Active for T. r.
They were together at Harvard law
school, both destined to follow in the
Edmund Randolph tradition. George
turned painter instead but Francis went
on with a career in law Back in Phila-
deIphia he found time for politics. too
Joining Teddy Roosevelts rebellion
against old line Republicanism, he was
made chairman of Progressive speak
ers committee in Philadelphia and his
intense activity had not little to do
with the seldom remembered fact that
T. R. carried Pennsylvania in 1912 by
margin of $4,000 votes. In 1914 Biddle
ran for the State Senate on Pro-
gressive ticket and was roundly trounced.
Two years later he was delegate to the
ill-fated convention that marked the end
of the Progressive movement in national
politics.
Coming out of training camp, where
he had been on the way to being field
artilleryman, Biddle decided at the close
of the other war that it was high time
he built up law practice. AS member
of the firm of Barnes, Biddle & Myers,
he was soon absorbed in variety of
cases. Among the firms clients were rich

Decreases Noted.
In the aggregate these items, which
follow the official classi1cations, show a
net decrease of about $120,000,000 from
budget estimates for 1912, a net decrease
of about $145 100000 from actual ex-
penditures in 1941 and a net decrease of
ABOUT $4OO0o0,OOO from appropriations
for 1941. The greatest decrease in each
instance is for work relief, the entire net
saving being jeopardized if the CUSTOM
ary supplemental appropriation is made
for this purpose in the closing months
of the fiscal year.
Taking the items in order of size, it is
obvious that no decrease can be made in
the $1,275, 100000 for interest on the
public debt. Instead, the amount will
increase as the public debt advances in
the course of the defense program. In
1882, the last full fiscal year of the
Hoover administration, the interest total
was about $600,00O,0O0. 1t has more than
doubled in eight years although the

he has averaged barely miles day.

With prospective defense costs con-
stantly mounting, it is inevitable that
Congress eventually must give more seri-
Gus attention to the demands for sharp
slashing of non-essential items in lieu
of an equivalent amount of taxation or
borrowing.
The trend in this direction is indicated
In recent action at the Capitol and by
various declarations of economy minded
groups.
The Senate Finance Committee, in
connection with consideration of the new
tax bill, approved two proposals by Sem
ator Byrd of Virginia looking toward
reduction in non-defense expenditures.
One requests the director of the budget
to furnish estimates of possible alterna-
tive savings of $1,000 100000 ST. 500,-
100000 and S2,O0O00O000. The other,
approved by the Senate, proposes crea-
ton of a committee composed of repre-
sentatives of the spending and financing
committees of Congress, the Secretary
of the Treasury and the director of the
budget to inquire into methods of saving.
Specific proposals for a reduction in
non-defense expenditures were offered
before the Senate Finance Committee
and earlier before the House Ways and
Means Committee, although jurisdiction
over spending lies properly in the Appro-
priations Committees of the two Houses.
Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau
asserted that costs of non-defense items
might properly be reduced by $1,000 000.-
900 annually. The National Economy
League offered a detailed plan for cuts
amounting to more than $4,000 900
from budget estimates for the fiscal
year 1912. The Finance Committee of
the Chamber of Commerce of the United
States asserted that reductions of at
least 50 600, 900 900 should be made. An
Arkansas college president placed before
the two committees an itemized scheme
for slashes totaling about $4,000, 100000.
A newly formed body known as the
Citizens Emergency Committee on Nom
defense Expenditures, headed by DR..
Henry M. Wriston, president of Brown
University, and composed of college
presidents, economists and others, is pre-
pairing to offer detailed proposals.
Cannot Be Done Painlessly.
An examination of the budget situa-
ton makes it clear that results cannot
be accomplished painlessly. The impor-
tant items offering the best opportunities
for reductions are sponsored by politi-
cally powerful groups, notably agricul-
tural aid, work relief, public works and
aids to youth. The proponents of these
various funds insist that no substantial
reductions should be made. Further
more, liberal expenditures for various
social purposes and for public works
accord with fundamental theories of the
New Deal.
The following are approximate totals
of all appropriations for the current
fiscal year, 1912, for non-defense pur-
poses, exclusive of transfers to trust ac-
counts and statutory debt retirements:
Interest on the public debt S1,275 100000
Departmental, legislative
and judicial 1000, 900 900
Aids to agriculture 100000 900
Work relief --------------- 885 ,OOOO 900

Germans claimed capture Of Smolensk
July 18. German high command said
August "the battle of Smolensk" had
been won.
In detail. the two leaders strategies
differ greatly. Napoleon's drive was
single spearhead toward Moscow. Hitler
attacked the 2,0OO-mile north-and south
Russian front in a dozen places, and his
drive toward Moscow has been slowed
down by the necessity of reinforcing his
many engagements at other points,
notably the drive toward Leningrad and
the drive into the Ukraine.
