Trampolining Makes EN-

NEW GAME IS

BY WILLIAM J. KEHOE

lining is the funniest word.
When first saw it in print, l
thought it was part of war dis
patch from the Far East. Imagine
my amazement when student at
Pennsylvania State College adj
vised 1t was the name of a new
sport.
Well, not exactly new game, but
maybe a new word. You may be
hearing lot about trampolining
from now on.
Aviators and paratroops us 1t as
conditioner.
Trampolining can be done at
home If you have tolerant moth
er. You can jump up and down on
the bed springs and be a novice
trampoliner, for that's what it
entails.
CANVAS is STRETCHED
OVER A STEEL FRAME
Many colleges now have tram
polines. They are nothing more
than resilient platforms, made from
a steel frame, over which is stretch
ed strip of canvas.
You can drop to the platform
from trapeze just as they do IN
the circus. Trampolining is pretty
much of steal on the net acts
you see with Ringing Brothers and
Barnum and Bailey.
Remember the men and women
who let go of the trapeze and fall
30 or 40 feet into a big net? They
bounce up and down and have
whale Of lot of fun.
Who ever went to a circus and
didn't want to do that himself?
Trampolining in the colleges is
little different, but hte idea is
the same. You land on the tram
poline and take flippers in the air.

All three OF the services, Mr.. Knox
added, are being increased "by a

the Italians the same conse-

main difference is that Mussolini

I'D Rother Be Right
France, After Waiting Two Years for Us to Sove
Her, has Arisen Now to Save Us

found thing this week: This
struggle restores France to her
rightful place among the nations.
80 There has been a striking re-
covery of the country"
1t is true. France is recovering.
In street fights against the best
armed soldiers in Europe, she is
finding her dignity again. While
we have been making speeches
about the soul OF France and giving
our recognition to poisoned fungi
growing on that soul, France has
found her soul, in her own way,
amid terrible loneliness.
And Charles de Gaulle has issued
the word this week. the straight,
clear word for immediate revolu-
ton in France. He has said 1t at
last. He has said "Now!"
That no direct military action Of
our own accompanies that word,
raises the most serious questions
concerning our basic military policy.
We have heard about those ex-
perts who must, by themselves
alone. say when we shall be ready
to strike. Now 1t is necessary to
ask: BY what standards do our ex-
perts make their judgments? What
valuation do they put on a popular
revolution? Do they value it at 10
tanks and five planes? Or do they
consider it worth as much as a hun
dred tanks and a thousand planes?
Or do they consider it at all?
Has this rising current in Europe
had a place in their plans? Or have
they viewed their problem as an ac-
cumulation of machines, during
which dull assemhly-line manufac-
ture Of the future the world would
obligingly wait?
1t is possible to schedule deliveries
OF machines. 1t is not possible to
schedule the moment when a people
will say Now" Since that is not
possible, the machines must serve
the moment, the moment cannot
serve the machines.
II we look at the record, diplo-
matte and military, we shall find
that we have told a story of curious,
deep insensitivity to those popular
movements whose world leader we
say we are. know one sentence
which ought to sting us to realiza-
ton: France, after waiting two
years for us to save her, is fighting
| now to save us.

Gilbert of the States Attorney s
police, said last night a nine-year
search was ended with the capture
yesterday in suburban Evanston of
Irving Premisler, whom he described
as one-time New York gang leader.
Capt. Gilbert said Premisler. who
is 49, was wanted in New York in

IN his apartment, where he lived
with his wife, Helen, and his STEP

Capt. Gilbert said the gangster,
whose Staying Premisler is accused
of having hired someone to do, was
Harry Nichols. He added that
Premisler also was wanted In con-
nection with eight or 10 other hired
slayings. Capt. Gilbert described
Premisler as director" of the
Brooklyn branch of Murder, Incor-

counted slayings during the prohibi-
ton era.
Capt. Gilbert said Nichols was
slain on September %. 1879 nv two
hirelingS of Premisler-Jean Rhein

married three months ago, was un-

Chang shares the opinion Of the
Russians that over-caution does
not pay. But he points out that
in order to open up an offensive
in Europe the American and
British forces must undertake
amphibious operations which are
complicated by the lack of ade-
quate shipping, whereas in the
Far East they have only to un-
dertake the less risky operation
of fighting by land and in the
air.
The announced presence Of a
strong British naval force in the
Indian Ocean-which is believed,
to have been there for many
weeks-would make difficult any
japanese interference with the
Allied transports. This Is par
'ticularly true since the Jsps have
been compelled to gather an i'm
portant naval force in the South
west Pacific.
OF course, Gen. Chang is said
to admit that attacking the Japs
in Burma now would involve
many grave risks. But none are
as grave as inaction and the de-
fensive spirit which unfortu-
nately has prevailed so far in all
Allied operations in that section
of the world. The dividends"
from a successful operation
against Burma are likely to be
so great that they are worth the
risks.

soldier. He understands the DIFF

the handicaps Of the United
States. But he is somewhat irked
because even the few things sent
to India In transit for China
have been kept there to bolster
up the armies under Gen. Archi-
bald Wavell. He appreciates the
Allies effort to build new lines
of communication from India or
Persia to China, but he doubts
whether these lines will be COM
pleted in time.
Wants Burma Offensive.
AS a soldier he in convinced
that the United Nations should
attempt to reopen the Burma
road with an offensive, now that
the Japs are concentrating the
bulk Of their naval power and a
large proportion Of their men and
air power against the Solomons.
If some Of the ships with men
and air material which are being
directed from the United States
and Great Britain toward the
Suez Canal were moved into
India there would be a good
chance to knock the Japs out OF
Burma, Gen. Chang thinks. His
armies are quite willing to CO.
operate and suffer any amount of
losses if they are asked to fight
alongside the British and Ameri-
can forces now in India.
The generalissimo is reported
discouraged because Of the de
fensive" spirit prevailing among
the senior partners of the United
Nations and points out that his
forces-with nothing more than
rifles, machine guns, hand gre
nades and not much artillery
have always tried to hit offen-
sively at the enemy even though

The 1910 presidential candidate
received a great reception in
China-even greater than in
Russia. The bulk of the cheer
ing Chinese were under the i'm
preston that it was the President
of the United States himself who
was paying them the great honor
Of visiting their country to see
with his own eyes their plight
and their needs. Neither Gen.
eralissimo Cniang Kai-shek nor
government officials Of Chung
king attempted to dispel this
impression which had a great
effect on morale.
Mr.. Willkie is no strategist, not
even of the typewriter brand.
But he was deeply impressed by
two things: The enormous poten-
tial value of the Chinese forces to
the cause of the United Nations.
and their complete lack of all
kinds of war material with which
to fight the Japanese.
He also was impressed by the
fact that there is great danger Of
collapse Of China's resistance I'M
less the Chinese receive at least
some Of the equipment which was
promised them so lavishly and
generously but which they never
received.
Resentment in China.
Gen. Chang is China's ma
tional hero, but no national hero
can last indefinitely under condi-
tions such as have prevailed in
China for the last five years. His
hold on the people must be very
great indeed to have enabled him
to remain on a pedestal so long.
According to reports, the gen.
eralissimo spoke to President
Roosevelt's emissary straight
from the shoulder. Mr.. Willkie
was the first important Ameri-
can to visit China since she off,
cially became our ally. There was
trace Of resentment in China
because, while important
Americans such as Harry Hop
kins had been able to visit Eng
land and Russia, none had paid
|; much attention to China. g0'v-
But this was q minor point
The main thing, Gen. Chang is
reported to have told Mr.. Will
kie, is that China can carry on
only so long without adequate
support.
The japanese are busy now In
the South Pacific. Later they
undoubtedly will become engaged
in a campaign against India. But
China's turn may come again
soon and the few packages
which are being sent to the
