Route To Visit
Famous Husband

CHICAGO-(ANPo-Mrs.
Marva Louis boarded the
Commodore Vanderbilt for
New York City here last Sat
urday afternoon to visit with
her husband, Joe Louis, now
stationed at Camp Upton, N
Y, but only after she had
been assured by Atty. Bind
ley Cyrus that the writ of at
ta.hment placed last week or,
her $4,000 automobile, apart
ment building and bank ac-
counts would be removed.
Atty. CYRUS had brought suit
against Mr.. and Mrs. Louis on
AUGUST 19 alleged1y due him as
Mrs. Louis attorney during their
recent divorce action. Since that
time, Cyrus claims she has lodged
the summons service and that the
attachment was only to bring hel
into court. .-
Representing Mrs. Louis were
Attys. Henry G. Ferguson and Will
liam L. Dawson, who appeared be-
fore judge PrystalSazi last Mondav
with a motion to squash the writ
OH the grounds that the court hao
no Jurisdiction in the matter. With
the denial Of the motion, F'ergu-
son and Dawson filed a special ap-
pearance to question the jurisdic
ton of the court and later filed
general appearance which brought
Mrs. Louis before the Judge.
In the judges chambers, Mrs
Louis appeared to be worried be-
cause. as she said, Joe was in the
armed services of the country and
not present to offer so1ace and
because she has not been able to
figure out how she can get the
necessary money to pay Atty.
Cyrus.
However. Cyrus said that with
her appearance in court. he would
release the writ of attachment. The
case is continued until Feb. 26. at
which time Cyrus says that If
settlement Is not reached he will
place his claim before a jury.

Written by Justice Thomas and
concurred by Justices Brown and
Livingston, the majority opinion
held that "the burden is on the
one who would attack such ac-
ton of such a board and this
should be done by proper plead
ind and evidence. This burden is
no less strong by reason of the
fact that the question for deci-
sion Is whether the individual
should vote or should work.
'sT4he rights as an elector and
to hold office are political privil-
eyes conferred by statutes and

er in their enforcement than the
natural rights of our citizens.
Therefore, the writer sees no good
reason, under the law. why the
review of the order of the instant
administrative board should rot be
presented in proper and legal
form. Less than this is an injustice
to the rulings of such administra-
tive boards, the boards of regis
trars of the several counties of
this state. It follows that the
Judgment of the trial court is af-

POLITICAL WARFARE

Whenever you hear the charge that Britain is
willing to fight to the last American, watch out for
the speaker. If writing this editorial for a
British audience, the phrase would be America is
willing to fight to the last Engishman' These two
phrases shells used by the Axis in their political
warfare.
America to have been more of sucker
for the Axis in this respect than the British OF late
too much criticism against the British has been
heard in America, and in the press.
The enemy is expert in this kind of war
fare If he can split the United Nations by start
ing them squabbng about one another, he's helping
his side 1t has veen very easy so far for enemy
agent to start wave of criticism in America against
one or more of our Allies. The way he works is
simple.
There are many thousands Of enemy agents in
America today They get their cue for their work
here by listening to the enemy shortwave which de-
votes most of its time to attacks on England and
dishing out interpretations" which can be used for
attacks The enemy agent here then takes his ar
gument to someone who can spread good whisper
ing campaign without too much suspicion
He picks out a bitter-end solationst Roese-
velt-hater These persons are always ready to be-
eve anything unfavorabe about the Administration,
and usually haven't the slightest idea of what they
are doing when they act as the Charlie McCarthy's
of enemy agents.
So far America has been fertile ground for these
Axis gossips Churchill has become person to laugh
at We are led to believe that the British leav-
ing too much up to the Australians in the Pacific
war. Soon we will be asked to believe that the Aus
tralans letting the United States fight for them
Already to have done a fair job of
starting a fight between Prime Minister Churchill
and Prime Minister John Curtin of Australia.
Britain is less fertile ground for the enemy
agents Britain has the benefit, if you can call it
that of having gained certain familiarity with the
present The British press seldom hits back at
America. The newly-landed AEF in Australia and
agitation in the American press for England to give
independence to india has been interpreted by en-
envy agents in Britain to mean that America has
designs the British far flung possessions. But the
British press has been intelligent enough to realize
the idiocy of this charge and has disregarded it.

BEHIND COMPLACENCY

The American war effort is bound to govern the
average Americans appraisal of his countrys plight.
To underestimate that grave plight is to weaken our
war effort now and in the days to The veil
of censorship hides many things, things probably
hidden for good reasons. But if the facts grim.
a cheerful and false Interpretation is dangerous. 1t
is dangerous because it hinders war effort
IT. as recent stories released by the Government
tell us. Japs ships have been sent to the
bottom and few American ships have been lost in
recent battles, then have to feel cheerful
But common sense leads TO believe that this is
not the true picture
But does it lead the factory worker who is help
ing to produce arms for his nation to believe the
same thing? And if it doesn't isn't it reasonable
to suspect that this factory worker isn't able to
bring himself to the point of supplying the greatest
amount of elbow grease he can on the job? And
II he isn't doing this he is complacent
The trouble with Americans today is that they
aren't mad enough If we're going to win this war
wave got to get fighting mad And if we're going
to get fighting mad we've got to have something
to get mad about.
We believe we have that something, but that only
the high officials who are lin the know" are aware
of it Before the American people are going to be
able to reach their maximum of efficiency in this
effort they're going TO have to be told the truth
Inere cannot De any war without grim SIDE, and
the grim side of always is bad SO far, however
that grim side has become conspicuous by its alb
in governmental press releases.
We can't blame the newspapers for printing rosy
stories. They must print what they have avail
able.
America has great psychological weapon
in this war If we told the TRUTH get
fighting mad than our enemies because they
started it. We socked first We know that
we're in the right in this That fact hasn't even
been argued in this country
But as long the grim facts hidden from
the American public the effort is bound to
suffer.
