Not That Bad-Yet

Some comfort may be found III
Pre- ident ROOseVelt's assurance that
thu GOV eminent has 40 intention at
this time UI drafting youths OF l8
and l9 years Of age INTO military
service. .Aa9uledly the national
emergency Is not that bad al least
not yet-nor with any prospect Of 1t
in the near future.
In the last World Var the United
States had lOuI million men under
arms and assembled them without
going 10 the lengths apparently al
ready reached in inducing only a
little more than half that total III
the present struggle. II anything,
however, exemptions AND d~efef1nents.
appear to be more extensive now than
then, although there is a definite
tendency to tighten up on that score.
From a population of more than
1870 million people, it would seem
that an adequate military structure
could be erected without dipping
into such low age brackets. Should
the emergency become sufficiently
acute as to demand this move, there
! would be no other alternative.
Here in this country reports that
boys Of this immature stage in life
have been found in great numbers
in German and japanese armies
atleld have been interpreted as an
indication of weakness and serious
shortage of manpoWer in the ranks
of those aggressor nations. 1t could
be SO interpreted also with respcc;
to the United States if resort were
made to lads of such tender years.
We do think that a future peace
time policy of encouraging a year
of military training for boys either
upon completion of high school or OF
college courses would be appropriate,
not only as a means of providing a
reserve Tor war or Other emergency
but likewise as a contributing factor
toward physical development: Of the
youth of the land. 1t would obviate
much of the rather alarming con-
dition uncovered in this and the
other war of the unfitness Of sc
many young men who should MOI
be allowed or permitted to grow int
adulthood with so many body handi-
caps as afflict millions of boys now
But it will be well, it seems to us
if this can be allowed to await NOR
deliberate f%ashioning Of a definite
program when there is more time
to consider it.

But wherever Gill was. the most
interesting thing was where he had

Although he has had several ap-

The Queens Address

A keen and inciSive comprehension
of the elemental character of repre-
sentative government in the United
States was manifested by Queen
Wilhelmina of The Netherlands in
her address to the Congress on
Thursday. No other foreign visitor
in recent years has demonstrated
truer understanding than she when
she said; Seeing this great demo-
cratic assembly, renewing itself at
regular intervals and meeting under
self-made rules of law. seems to me
a sure guarantee that liberty Is
forever young and strong and
invincible.'
Her majesty left no doubt as to her
meaning. She stipulated: "The auto
crat, incapable of rejuvenating him.
self, is every day nearer his end, his
regime doomed to die with him. The
systems of tyranny which Hitler and
MuSsolini have built, she might have
explained, are inverted pyramids,
destined to fall when they themselves
are snatched away by the unseen
hand of fate. Fascism, let 1t be called
by whatever name, is synthetic
creation. It Is assembled arbitrarily
adventurously, to serve an immediate
expedient purpose. Nothing OF natu-

well-recognized and clearly defined
exceptions to the exclusive exercise
of state authority" Ordinary logic
prompted acceptance of the PROPOSE
ton that public vessels in the ports
or territorial waters of a friendly
power" should be exempt from local
jurisdiction" and "the position of the
military forces of one state within
the territory of another state with
which it is in amity is similar to that
of public vessels in territorial waters"
OF course, the burden of the COM
manders of the American troops in
Britain is increased by the action
which Parliament has taken. They
must see to it that the privilege is
not abused and that the British peo-
pie have no occasion or excuse for
viewing its application as an in
fringement of their native liberties.
All Americans in England are charged
with the duty to remember that they
are the custodians of the honor and
the reputation Of their own country
They will not be unmindful of their

BETHESDA, Nd.

Dear Sir:
I'VE have too many chipmunks
around our house. and wonder II you
can tell me how to get rid of them.
Il am afraid they will harm the birds
and perhaps eat my tulip bulbs. I do
not want to harm them and have been
thinking of trapping them.
There are 80 many people. who ad-
mire these little animals that I feel
ashamed OF not liking them but as far
rs I am concerned they are sheer
nuisance.
I'VE have an old wall which was here
when we purchased the place. The
chipmunks live in this and come out In
all directions. spreading all over the
yard.
II will admit they are pretty creatures
but am thinking that they are more OF
a nuisance than anything else. Any
help you can give will be very much
appreciated.
Sincerely. &c. D. r."
The weasel Is the deadliest foe OF the
chipmunk.
Get hold of some one with a pet weasel,
and let him do the rest.
1t is said that the weasel can 60 any
place that 4 chipmunk can 60.
Cats and dogs are enemies Of chip
munks. Hawks like them for dinner.
They have many enemies, and these
usually hold the creatures in check.
They might be popped of with rife
or caught in traps. The latter IS the
best way for any one who does not
want to harm them.
One of the old-fashioned rat traps
which catch rodents alive, could be used
to advantage. Nuts OF various kinds
and sunflower seed may be used for bait.
After the chipmunks are caught. they
may be taken far away and turned loose
in the woods. Since they do not possess
| the homing instinct, there is not much
| chance OF their temperance.
| II they do come back, and one still
| does not want them, red squill extermi-
nator might be tried. Its effect on them
is said to be the same as on rats. Mem
bers of the rodent family cannot vomit,
rs other animals, and 50 cannot rid
themselves of the bait.
4
| The best way, however, to handle I'M
wanted chipmunks is to learn to like
them.
This may seem large order. to per-
sons who do not care for them, but we
believe that by little extra watching,
and a certain intentness in the observa-
ton. real enthusiasm may be worked
I'D for these small creatures which have
been called "the veritable fairies Of th'
mammal world"
1t Is possible, Of course, to become
converted to them in the twinkling OF
an eye. Perhaps such a conversion IL
best. but not all persons can manage 1t
Then the only thing left to do Is tt
make \ grim determination to see wha'
it is about the animal which many
others persons admire 70 much.

raj growth is to be detected in the
perverse dogmas Of National Social
ism. The alleged philosophy" OF
"Mein Kampf" is hideous hodge
podge of hysterical greed and hatred.
A man frustrated, disillusioned,
desperately sick produced that vicious
book, and the utterances of his Black
Shirt partner constitute a symptom
of like disease.
Queen Wilhelmina, had she wished,
might have quoted from the poet
Shakespeare in Illustration of the
ephemeral quality Of relationships.
She is familiar with the words put
into the mouth OF Mark Antony: 20
mighty Caesar! dost thou lie SO low?
Are all thy conquests, glories, tri-
umphs, spoils, shrunk to this little
measure?" The answer to his ques-
tions he himself returns in his
funeral grafton in the forum: But
yesterday the word of Caesar might
have stood against the world; now
lies he there. And none so poor to
do him reverence"
It is not thus with the Nation for
which her majesty spoke Her people
cannot breathe in the sullen atmos-
phere Of despotic rule" They have
developed their free institutions in
their own progressive way, in accord
ance with their high regard for per-
sonal and national liberty" Freedom
of religion and of speech, freedom
from fear and measurable freedom
from want they had achieved by the
slow processes Of honest labor over
the years. Now momentarily they
are ruined by their enemies, but their
spirit grows with their hardShips and
they keep their unflinching belief in
their liberation. No surrender
remains their constant motto. Inside
occupied territory and outside, the
fight goes on" 1t could not be other
wise. Queen Wilhelmina has con-
tributed to eventual victory by her
exposition Of the basic endowment
which all civilized communities share

Courts-MortioI in Britain

Errine American soldiers in Eng
land are to be Judged by their
own courts martial. Parliament has
passed a bill transferring criminal
jurisdiction over members OF the
American armed forces from British
civil magistrates to American mill
tary tribunals. Such procedure con-
forms to the precedent provided by
British and American expeditions in
France during the First World war.
It was desired by the Government of
the United States in the interest OF
discipline and the more efficient
management of problems OF behavior.
But considerable debate developed
In the House of Commons largely on
account Of the fact that responsible
authorities on both sides OF the
Atlantic wanted the arrangement.
Several speakers went so far as to
suggest that this is just the begin
ming of demands from the United
States that would leave Britain sort
of appendage or dominion OF her
former colony" Other participants
in the discussion ventured the opin-
ion that American standards OF
punishment might be too mild, not
harsh enough.
The debate, however, ended In
agreement that the principle OF ex-
traterritoriality-"a convenient term
or metaphor for the immunltles
enjoyed by certain persons, property
or places from the jurisdiction OF the
state in which they are situate"-is as
necessary now In the circumstances
Of the prevailing struggle AS 1t was
In the strife Of twenty-five years ago.
