TREMENDOUS DISTANCE

The round trip. therefore, is four
times as great as that between
New York and our North African
base at Casablanca. This means
that while we can conceivably as.
semble modern army of two mil
lion men in North Africa. the same
effort would serve only to carry an
army Of a half million in India.
Manifestly, this is not enough.
The answer is, of course, that
we must use all resources locally
available both in men and ma
terial.
Fortunately, India has great re-
sources. There are nearly 100000
600 Indians of all creeds and con-
ditions.
II the country were as united
and developed as ours, 1t could
furnish an army of over 20 million.
This is not the case. But the
country can and probably will fur

fectly competent 10 fight it out

size.
The route through Burma and
China is very far from being a
natural or easy one. In all re-
corded history no invaders have
ever followed this route.
ONLY A TRAIL
The Burma road to China with
all its windings is nothing more
than a trail TO follow part of
the way, But the route through
Burma is the only one by which
the Indian army can actually make
contact with the Chinese.
The one way open To China
from India today is high over the
roof Of the world and the one
help we are able to give our Chi
nese allies is in the air.
Once that is achieved easier APP
proaches TO Manchuria and Japan
itself may be developed along the
China coast.
Unfortunately this can never be
enough. Great armies and the

Ohio Coed and Cook
Found Shot 10 Death
In Parked Auto
Coroner Returns Verdict
Of Murder; Robbery
Possible Motive
BY the Associated Press.


AKRON, Ohio, March 31.-Sum-
NIT County Coroner r. E. Amos
today returned a verdict of murder
in the deaths of Miss Lucille
Daprano, %, Kent State University
coed. and George w. Reynolds, SIS,
colored, Twin Lakes Country Club
cook, whose bullet -riddled bodies
were found last night in a car
parked along a wooded stretch of
road halfway between Cleveland and
Akron.
DR.. Amos said the girl. senior
from Cleveland, was found lying in
the front seat. her left lung and
heart pierced by bullets. Reynolds
was in the back seat with bullet
holes in his back and chest, the
coroner said. He estimated both had
been dead since 10 pm. Sunday.
Robbery Motive Advanced.
The coroner indicated the two
might have been the victims of rob-
bers. He said Miss Daprano had
left her Cleveland home with several
bills of large denominations. but
that her purse found with the body,
contained only al cents.
Miss Daprano, pretty daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Daprano of
Cleveland, was last seen alive Sun
day night when she boarded bus
at Cleveland to return to school
after a spring recess.
DR.. Amos said the girl had worked
the last two years as part-tlme
waitress at the country club where
Reynolds was employed
The car in which the bodies were
found was listed in the name of
Reynolds wife, Mrs. Hattie Rey-
nolds.
Had Police Record.
The coroner said his report was
based on his finding that bullets re-
moved from the woman's body were
of different caliber than those taken
from the body of the cook. Five
bullets had been fired from the re-
volver found beside Reynolds, he
added but it was not determined
Immediately whether some of these
killed Miss Daprano.
Deputy Sheriff Jeffers said court
records showed Reynolds had been
convicted of manslaughter in March,
1886, for the Staying of William
Mencey, colored chauffeur. The
Staying followed a quarrel over a
