FRATERNITY MAKE GOOD NEICHBORS'
Moose Lodges on Cana dian Border Exchange
 Visits, Salute to Flags

Mooseheart, Ill.-In this age Of nationalistic prejudices. it is com forting to note that the greatest forces directed to the dissipation Of such prejudices are the leading fra ternities of the North American con- tinent.
 A case in point is the fraternity, Loyal Order of Moose, whose chief fields of activity are the United States and the Dominion of Canada.
 These two great nations are di- vided by geographical line eXtend- ing more than 4,00O miles, on no part of which is fort or other mili- tary evidence of offenSe or defense.
 Along this line, and on each side of it, are located innumerable units of this fraternity-lodgeS, so called Throughout the year delegations from one side of the line pass un- challenged to the other side in en- gagement of fraternal work of the Order. At these meetings, fellowship reigns, respect for the flags of both countries obtains. Such occasions are utterly free from disputations of any character, they embody the principle which is the cornerstone of the Moose credo, "One for all and all for one"
 While the Loyal Order of Moose Is largely an American fraternity, still, a noted Canadian, member of the bar, and K. O., recently held the highest elective office in the gift of the fraternity the office of supreme governor - Norman G Heyd, of Toronto, Ontario, Canada

EDSEL B. FORD
 PASSES AT 49
Undulant Fever Takes Head of Motor Co; Wife,
 4 Children Survive
By ROBERT w. LEFTY United Press Staff Correspondent

Unlteu freSS oCdH correspondent
 Detroit May 26 (UP) - Edsel Bryant Ford, head of the Ford Mo tor Co.,, one of the worlds greates. industrial empires, died early to- day of undulant fever. He was 49.
 At his bedside when he succumbed was his father, Henry Ford, who founded the company nearly half century ago and introduced to the world the Tin Lizzie"
 Ford was stricken critically i'll about week ago and death came at 1:30 a. m. Also at his bedside were his wife, Eleanor; his mother, two of his three sons, Benson, a student in an army administration school, and Villain Clay, Is, and his daughter, Eleanor, 21.
 Ford was born into the automo- bile business, grew up in it and lived to become the president and sole heir to the far-flung empire.
 When Ford was born Nov. 6, 1893 in a tWo-story brick house in what is now the heart of Detroit's busi- ness section, his father was tinker ing with "a horseless carriage" while not working as a $30-a-Week ob- scure mechanic for the Detroit-Edi- son Go.
 Ten years later Henry Ford or ganiZed the Ford Motor Co.,, which later produced half the worlds cars and now is contributing a good DOT tion of Allied fighting equipment.
 Ford, the only son of the inventor, became interested ill his fathers work early in fife. He gave up schooling after attending Detroit public schools and the Detroit Uni versity School to "go into business right away" because further school ing would be waste of time"
 In 1912, he went to work in the old Highland Park plant as a work man. From there he started up the grade to designer, to secretary and ultimately to president in 1919. It was during that year that he became sole owner of the company. His father turned over his 59 1-2 per cent of stock and young Ford bought the remainder for $75, 5,000,000. Under Edsels leadership, the com pany expanded continually, build ] ing plants throughout the world. AL though the senior Ford gave up con- trol of the firm, he still remained constant advisor for his son.
 Edsel accepted his advice as well as that of other company officials and engineers, but in the end it was he who made the decisions. Ford was married to Eleanor Clay Detroit debutante, Nov. l, 1916, and they had four children, Henry, 2d. 25, now in the Navy, Benson, 22 Eleanor, 20 and William, 18.

master tacticianS and generals who have fought all the wars that have gone before-all these centuries to learn that dead or disabled sol dier is of no use. Generals wanton- ly sacrificed lives before. The mod ern doctrine is to protect the lives of the soldiers, to keep them fit to fight and keep on fighting.
 To keep men fighting, they must be given the best weapons that can be made weapons su- perior to those of their enemies. The weapons given this army to- day, and the equipment, are so vastly superior to those of the last war there is no comparison. But that leads to the demand for more schooling and the training of many specialists.
 CLASSES IN SHIFTS
 For example, there is the Arm ored Force School at Fort Knox, commanded by Brigadier General Joseph Holly. Today, it is the larg- est technical school in America, giving vocational training in motors and ordnance that could not be duplicated outside the factory of a major automobile or industrial plant. It runs in two shifts, from a. m. to g p. m.
 Watching a bomber school at Davis -Monthan Field, Tucson, Ariz, where crews for the big B-24 Consolidated bombers are trained in teamwork, you see this multiple shift education car ried even further. School goes on 24 hours a day here, and the bombers are in the air every min ute possible, to get maximum utilization for a minimum of classroom" equipment.
 There is college training for war when all of these smaller units of specialists are brought to- gether for the training of divisions

NURSES FACING
 BIG DECISION
Council EndeavOrs to Ad- wise All Interested on
 Course of Action

Every public health nurse is con- fronted with special problems in making the decision as to whether she will be more valuable in serv- ice with the armed forces or in her present position, according to the National Nursing Council for War Service in an article in the monthly bulletin of the State Department of Health.
 Well-qualified public health nurses, with their special training represent only about per cent of the total number of nurses in the United States. By every virtue of their small number, each individual public health nurse assumes extra weight in relation to the total. Thus the well-qualified public health nurse has unusual responsibility in deciding where she can be serve."
 The Council has offered recom- mendations to guide public health nurses in making decision as to where their services are most needed. According to these recom- mendations, administrators in pub lie health agencies, and supervisors and teachers of public health nurses should go only if a qualified person not eligible for war service is avail able to fill the position. Staff nurses in public health nursing agencies, industrial nurses, and school nurses should go unless absolutely needed in their own or another com- munity for essential services which cannot be given by nurses ineligible for the armed forces or by auxiliary workers.
 To guide public health nurses in making this important decision and to guide public health nursing agencies in making adjustments to release as many public health nurses as possible for service in other communities of greater need and for the Army and Navy, the National Organization for Public Health Nursing has published rec concentrations under the title Maintaining Minimum Public Health Nursing in Wartime Any public health nursing agency may secure a reprint free on request to the National Nursing Council for War Service.

NAzIS WORRIED
 OVER ITALIANS
Anglo : American PrOpa. ganda Designed to Take
 Italy From War
BY RALPH FORTE


 Madrid, May 26. - (UP) - The whole Italian military machine is deteriorating rapidly under the heavy allied aerial bombardment and Germany is concerned over the effect of Anglo American propa- ganda designed to take Italy out of the war, reports from France said today.
 The reports reached Madrid from neutral diplomatic circles in Vichy as the Allied command in North Africa stepped up it's aerial offensive against Italy and her island out posts and Prime Minister Churchill launched new propaganda bar rage with blunt suggestion that Italy give up the struggle.
 Allied air raids were said to be destroying ports, railways, airf1elds and Notifications in Italy, Sicily and Sardinia at such a swift pace that the country's military strength was declining rapidly.
 Great as is the effect of the air raids, however, the Italians were said to fear even more an Allied inVas- ion. Achievements have been rushed to Sardinia and Sicily be- cause of the belief that the fall of either would make difficult, if not impossible, the defense of the maln- land.
 German LuftWaffe squadrons also hpn11 tn ic1o it1 formantS said. Information in pos session of the Italian general staff was said to point to massive Allied preparations Tor an invasion of Axis Mediterranean bases, including both Sicily and Sardinia.
 CThe German Transocean Agency reported that the Sardinian port of Cagliari has been evacuated and Morocco broadcast said that Ital- ian civilians also were being re- moved from the rest of the island, as well as from Sicily and Italian mainland coastal towns, including much-bombed Reggie Calabria. An other report, broadcast by the Brit iSh radio, said that the Italian gov ernment had issued decree au- thorizing the evacuation of the tribunals" from Rome if necessary "as result of military operations.
 (I'he Italian newspaper Messagero was quoted by the British radio as telling the Italian people that no de- lenses, however strong, could avert the Allied air attacks.)
 German concern over the effect of Allied propaganda aimed at Italy was reflected in a recent statement by Wilhelmstrasse spokesman that it was well known that the mass of the Italian people are not so passionately keen over fighting war against England and the United States as Germany"

According to Amiet. it has become good form" and also pretty good idea if you really want something to eat nowadays to give the platter a parting scrape before letting the waiter take it away.
 After all," Amiet shrugged, tits got so there's only one bite there anyway"
 He didn't say that sadly. 'It's a blessing to the race" he murmured. "These people-some of them glut- tons have been spoiled with over abundance of food. Guests eat what they get and waste nothing. And they get just enough to be good for them.'
 Amiet, who was born at St. Louis and reared by his three Swiss aunts in LauZanne overlooking Lake Ge- neva, applies all the Swiss thrift and ingenuity he can muster to his art.
 After all," he suggested, "the people there even before the war never were used to the great amounts of meat Americans con- sume. They thought of other things to concoct. So do I-especially today. I use few shrimps here, bit of spinach so, bacon with cheese and then turn around and have French pancakes wrapped in new asparagus or rice in shrimp sauce-I could go on forever

who planned It that way. An army as good as this one is couldn't just spring up from the bushes lige the minute men Of Lexington and Con- cord.
 Tracing the training of troops from inception to authorization through a string of camps and posts from an induction and re- placement center at Fort Knox, Ky, through a division training center at Fort Bliss, Tex, through the Desert Training Center SpraWling across 19,000 square miles of Cali fornia and 11,OO0 square miles of Arizona, on through the compli- cated staging area in the San Fran cisco port of embarkation, it is possible to make out the pattern of an army educational system that for thoroughneSs and effectiveness puts the civilian school systems to shame in many respects.
 GRIM LESSON
 As a kindergarten, the Armored Force Replacement Training Center at Fort Knox is perhaps typical. Major General Charles L. Scott, who commands this school has as his motto, "A soldier should be taught to kill, and to get some pleasure out of it, if possible"
 General Scott complains that the new men coming into the army are still too complacent, indicating that the civilian population is not even yet aroused to the realities of this war. It is the job of the army schools to instill fighting spirit into the men.
 Primary school is the 13 weeks of basic training which all new soldiers get. Then, when the men are assigned to divisions, there follows the grade schooling in the company.
 The soldiers are taught all the tricks of the trade of war. Gen. eral George c. Marshall once said that it has taken military men-the

TWO EARTHQUAKES DO LITTLE DAMAGE

Weston, Mass, May 26.-(UP)- Two earthquakes one of "verJ severe" intensity in the vicinity of New Zealand-were reported today by the Rev. Daniel Linehan, s. J., Weston College seismologist.
 The first and most severe quake occurred at about 7:23 last night about 887O miles southwest of ths station, Father Linehan said.
 "It was very severe one and lasted about five hours" he said. 'It was in the general vicinity of New Zealand but. whether it was on land or at sea, don't know. It would have caused severe damage had it been in a populous area"
 The second earthquake of mod crate" intensity occurred at about 6::38 a. m. and was about 2660 miles southwest of the Weston station, Father Linehan said that would place it somewhere of the west coast of Mexico.

RUSSIA NOT SET
 TO OPPOSE LAPS
Little Prospect Seen of Reds Entering Far=East=
 ern War Immediately
BY HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff Correspondent

London, May 26. CUP)-Informec sources said today that there k little prospect that Russia will enter the war against Japan, at least unti the United States and Britain car engage the major portion of Ger man military strength.
 Russo-Japanese relations actually have been improving in direct pro- portion to Russian military Suc- cesses in the west, informants said in commenting on Prime Minister Churchills suggestion in Washing ton yesterday that Russia might find it well to offer more forceful opposition to the Japanese.
 Russia has no surplus strength for new ventures in the Pacific, the in- formants pointed out. The Soviets feel they have their hands full with Germany and their almost eXclu- sive interest is in improving the flow of supplies of airplanes and food to the western front.
 However, the commentators acknowledged that the Kremlin may take a different view when and if the Allies land in Europe and clear the Mediterranean and Black Sea route to Russia.
 The Russians meantime have been quick to deny that they are offering any aid or comfort to Japan in the Pacific War. The official Tass Agency issued a denial today of a report that a meteorological station in Russian territory has been aiding the Japanese military forces.
 According to American news papers," the Agency said, United States isolationists spread rumor that a meteorological station in Soviet territory aids Japanese mili- tary forces. Tass has been author ized to state that this fabrication is the idle fancy of its authors, is devoid of any foundation and was spread with clearly tenditious pur- poses"
 Churchill's statement was believed here to have been designed pri- marily for the benefit of the Amer ican Pacific-first movement. It was pointed out that the Russians went out of the way to demonstrate amity with British and Americans by dissolving the comintern.
 Furthermore, it now appears that nothing remains to be settled con corning a meeting among President Roosevelt, Churchill and Premier Stalin except selection of the time and place, and even these may have been arranged tentatively at the Roosevelt Churchill conferences ir Washington.
 Stalin is understood to have made it plain that he is fully as anxious to meet with the other two United Nations leaders as they are to con- fer with him. It is expected that the conference will include Gen. eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek.
