Let's Drop
Our Statues
On Enemies
Just Think Of Fe arfuI
Effects as Bombsl
BY HENRY McLEMORE

THE President of the United
u States has suggested that
the statues in this country be
converted into war material.
Without knowing IT, Mr..
Roosevelt may have pointed the
way TO the development of the
most devastating weapon in the
history of all warfare.
No doubt the President has in
mind the melting of our tketi--
sands and thousands of statues
for the making of bullets.
But TO gain the full benefit
from these copper, bronze, lead
and iron eye-sores that dot our
parks and public places from
coast to coast, they must not be
melted down but be dropped as
is on the enemy.
They would serve a dual pur-
pose. They would destroy any
thing they landed on, and then
there they'd be TO outrage that
per cent of the enemy populace
which had any esthetie sense
whatsoever.

ONE day about IS years ago a
" New York doctor named
Adolphe Monaelesser was travel

met and got TO talking with a
leper who had a painful form OF
neuralgia until ne was stung by
a Semi-poisonous tropical spider.
Then his pain left him.
Doctor Monaelesser got 10
thinking and studying and he
found that the venom or most
poisonous "varmints' has an
element in il which paralyzes
the peripheral nerves-it is
called the "neurotoxin. "
He took the idea to Doctor
Calmette of Paris, who, after
experiments, lecte d cobra
venom and wac able 10 isolate
the neurotoxic element in prac-
tically pure form, and on using
il or patients with painful affiic-
tons, he found that it stopped
the pain in a large number of
cases.

who was miserable with arthritis

of another venom-bee venom.
Some doctor with one of those
minds that keeps relating up I'M

the result is we have bee venom

There are other methods Of

Cermanys Proposition

Germany, despite tremendous and spectacular vic tories is just far away from victorious peace when her armies marched into Poland The hatred of Russia and the might of the Red Army threatens her in the East and in the West the steadily growing strength of Great Britain and the United States adds peril every day.
 Conquered Europe seethes with rebellion sternly suppressed by mass executions The wear and tear of warfare has had it's effect upon German The people, disappointed by early prophecies of Hitler, hardly know what to expect. German morale needs vic tories again.
 Expert military observers in this country and abroad are practically unanimous in the view that the Ger mans will launch stupendous offensive When and where the blow will fall is uncertain, but the Red Army seems to be the main target. Other ventures may accompany follow the supreme drive No doubt Htlers visit to Taland to consult with Field Marshal Mannerhem, builder of the Mannerheim Lines, cerns German military strategy.
 The position of Germany as summer advances has been fkened 10 her position in the early part of 1918 With some reservations this is true Certainly, then doubt exists in German minds to the p0ssbil ity of winning of long duration The stupendous effort of the United States engenders fear of what may happen when full strength is eXerted the battle
 line In 1918, the situation somewhat similar. The conquest of Russia had been completed and the cruel treaty of Brest-Ljtof signed March 3rd. Months before the treaty signed German troops were be- ing transferred the west for all-out offensive az ainst the British and French. The Eastern front had collapsed Russia Was cut and the War was onefront aialF.
 h a18 LaaendorG faced the same choice now be- fore Hitler He had a attack take -e defensive be- hind strong enuencbmant ILe adopted the offensive in cder T to keep c man prestige alive ln Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey ? because he baIeV- ed that the Allies would break throueh if defensive policy assumed and (3) because he realized that he had 10 win decision before the Americans arrived in force The present German situation differs only in that the Eastern front takes the place of the Western front in France and Belgium. The next few months probably offer Germany her last opportunity to fight one-front The reason that led Ludendorff to seek decision in the West in 1918 seems sufficient to cJnF Hitler to seek decision in the East in 1922.
 Jus. in 1918 the German army will come to the ,nd of is ra pht-mazbe not this year but eventually it will begin to retreat &, when this process gets under War tte Ea2i regime will not last long If the Russians withstand Germanys assault, repulse Hiters last lun4e ,9d aunch another campaign, like that of the past #nter there will be no rest for the Germans.

Further Assistance

l. must be noted, however, that family allowances to mem bers of class B dependents shall be granted only if ard while the member is, in fact, dependent upon the enlisted man for chief support. and the total allowance to be paid to the beneiciaries of Class B shall not exceed $50 per month. The allowances covered by Glass A are granted to all in the class. and are virtually treat cd as part of the soldiers pay,
 Title II of the bll, as written, would give the Federal Security Administrator the authority to grant still further assistance to needy dependents of enlisted men where necessary to provide ordinary decent living condi- tons.

Family Allowances for Depend

Hearings are being held before the House Military Affairs Com mittee on the bill, H.

The bill contains two div isions or titles, the first of which provides for monthly family al lowance fixed in definite figures as follows:

Text Service Pay Adjustment Bill
 Allowance Dependents Enlisted Men

The bill to raadjust the pay and allowances of personnel of the Army, Navy. Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Coast and Geodetic Survey, and Public Health Ser vice has finally passed both hous IS and is now in conference. The Senate passed the bill first, but in acting upon the subject the House struck out the entire text of the Senate bill and inserted similar House bill as a substitute. The greatest difference between the House and Senate versions lies in the pay of privates and privates first class. Under the Senate. bill, a private first class would receive $43 per month, but the House increased this amount to S54 per month. Sim ilarly, under the Senate bill, private would receive SAP per month, and the House increased the amount to $50. As fixed by the House, the monthly base pay is as follows:
 Enlisted men of the first grade (Mas,er Sergeant in the Army) Sl38.
 Enlisted men of the second grade (First Sergeant in the Army) - $114.
 Enlisted men of the third grade (Stafr Sergeant in the AImy) - $96.
 Enlisted men of the fourth grade Sergeant in the Army) - S78.
 Enlisted men of the fifth grade Corporal in the Army) - $66
 Enlisted men of the sixth grade tPrivate First Class in the A!my) -- S54.
 Enlisted men of the seventh grade (Privatc in the Army $50
 The proposed increases above the Senate schedules for privates and first class privates were made by an amendment offered on the floor and adopted in Com mittee of the Whole House by a vote of about two to one. When he Committee Of the Whole re- ported the bill back 10 the House, Representative Boren of Okla homa, in order to put the House on record in the matter, demand ed a raii cali vote and obtained it. aad 50 the amendment fixing the psz of pr.vates al $50 per month and first class pr.Vates al $54 Der north was carried in the House by q vote of 332 10 28 This roll call vote is import ant because when such action Is taken and the proposal is car ried overwhelmingly, the House . conferoes are virtually directed to maintain the position of the House and not to concur in the Senate views with respect to the bill, without giving the House an opportunity 10 vote on the sub feet.
