to exist; in Czechoslovakia there is
an effective underground press, of
which few details are known, and
their counterparts are found in
Greece, Denmark, Norway, the Meth
erlands, Luxembourg and Yugoslavia.
These papers represent almost
every shade of political opinion.
Some of them are communistic,
others lean-relatively speaking-to
the right But they are united in
their stand against a common enemy,
their courageous appeals for con-
tinued resistance against the tyran-
ny their readers know and for their
words of comfort that keep faint

papers are real heroes, men whose
convictions are stronger than any
fear of death, upholding in the finest
way it could be upheld the proudest
traditions of their calling.
No propaganda effort by the Allies
can be more important than to main

Crucial Week

AS has SO often been said by mill
tary commentators, the next few
days of the struggle are crucial.
Ever since last April the numerous
battles, spectacular as some of them
were, were mere preliminaries to the
final epic contest of strength and
strategy. 1t is not intended to min
imize heroic efforts, marked by in
Vulnerable sacrifices, but in the very
nature of things no one of these
battles could be decisive. They mere
ly laid the groundwork and made
possible the new and final phase
about to break after a brief lull.
The fight will not be easy. The
opposition is strong, perhaps stronger
than believed possible, and may have
few untried tricks up its sleeve. AS
in the old familiar pattern, men may
be expected to slug their way to ad-
vance bases in enemy territory and
hold on grimly, but not every such
foray will be successful. Casualties
cannot be avoided; men will die at
some of these bases, cut off from
help of their own forces. Yet, un-
daunted, others will take their places,
facing hostile batteries, until victory
is assured-and either the Yanks or
the Cardinals win the World Series.

The Dnieper Boutmen
From, the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Mother Volga has her fond nickname
because of the great distances over
which the river winds through the
Russian land and history-it is the
longest river on the European continent.
But if one went by seniority it might
well be Mother Dnieper, though the
stream is only little more than half as
long as the Volga.
The beginnings of Russian history, as
distinguished from prehistory, were
written along the course of the Dnieper.
1t was the ancient trade route between
the Baltic and the Black Sea, which is
to say between Northwestern Europe
and Byzantium. The Norsemen or
Varangians who came, according to
legend, to establish themselves in old
Novgorod in the ninth century, were
soon floating down the Dnieper waterway
till they reached Kiev. There they
installed themselves permanently and
were met by the Byzantine influence
working its way upstream from the Black
Sea and Constantinople.

Germony's Chief Hope

There is nothing the German high
command understands so we'll as
military power. That power de-
pends partly on the soldier and his
equipment, but back of these are the
resources in material and industrial
production Of the nation which has
put armies in the field. Looking at
the war as the German military
leaders undoubtedly are looking at
it now, the picture of existing and
potential military power under the
control of the Allies is impressive, if
not appalling. For the Germans
understand as well as we do that the
fight is merely beginning. They
know that what has been accom-
plished is the foundation for an
ever-increasing flow of trained men
and material They know they can
not match it and that it will defeat
them
What are they counting on, then,
to sustain them in the increasingly
formidable resistance that the Allied
powers know lies ahead of them?
One Is some prestige victory''-as
they hoped to win, but failed, on the
beaches at Salerno-Which would
diSilluSion for the time being the
people in the conquered countries
and extend the period of the delay
ing action in which the Germans
are now engaged in Italy. In this
same connection, they undoubtedly
hope to make victory for the Allies
SO costly that even in defeat they
may expect more lenient terms.
Undoubtedly, however, their main
hope of survival, If not clear-cut
victory, must depend on the posi-
bility of a division between the
Allies. They are right in believing
that II this could somehow be &C
complished their skins would be
safer, If not safe. The thought that
should occupy Americans now Is the
Importance of maintaining the sound
and working relationships between
the United States, Russia, China and
Great Britain. These relationships,
Of course, are in the hands of wise
leaders. They are not formed or
maintained by the ordinary man in
the street. But the man in the street
does play part in sustaining them.
Anything which tends to create
suspicion or antagonism between the
Allied people now is helpful blow in
favor Of the Axis. 1t Is not the fact
that the Axis powers enjoy telling
their own people about such differ
enceS. That might give them hope
full but not really helpful encourage
ment. What helps the Axis is to SOW
seeds Of distrust as to the motives of
our Allies which might blossom in
the form Of some popular prejudice
capable OF working actual harm.
If motives are to be questioned, we
might with profit look into the
motives Of those in this country who
consistently question the motives of
our Allies. Regardless of what their
intentions might be, they are, in fact,
giving the German high command
the sort Of help on which depends its
chief hope.

Capital SideIights
BIZ Will p. Kennedy.

Next Wednesday marks the 143d an
niversary of the last Maryland State
election held in the District of Colum-
bia. and November IL marks the
anniversary of the last national, or
presidential election, in which District
residents as voters in Maryland partici-
pated in the presidential contest be-
tween John Adams and Thomas Jeffer-
SON. which on February II, 1901, resulted
in the election by the House of Thomas
Jefferson.
In the spring of 1900 the arrangements
of election districts in Maryland had
been changed, with Georgetown made
the polling place for the 5th district, in
cluding all parts of Montgomery County
lying within the Territory of Columbia,
according to the Sentinel of Liberty in
its issue of May 80, 1900. On election
day file of marines, commanded by a
sergeant, appeared at the voting place
in Georgetown, for the purpose, it was
explained, of arresting any enlisted man
found there-so states the Washington
Federallst october II, 1900. This ap-
pearance "at the hustings' of soldiers
with fixed bayonets' was. according to
the editor of the Washington Federalist,
sufficient cause for contesting and an
nuling the election in this county"
The votes cast in Georgetown for four
members to serve in the State Legis-
lature ran from 1872 to 178 for each can
didate on the Federal ticket while
from 1854 to l58 votes. A similar return
from Bladensburg, which was the voting
place of the Prince Georges County dis
trict, which included the City of Wash
ington, showed the Federal candidates
receiving 270 to 216 votes, and the anti
Federalists from 220 to 204. So it is
evident that the Prince Georges County
district was the larger of the two.
Notice of the national election ap-
peared in the press of that day. The
Sentinel of Liberty on November 7, l80O
10 days before Congress was scheduled
to meet for the first time in Washington,
stated that: The Federal Republicans
of the City of Washington are requested
to meet at the Capitol Hill on Monday
llchG dlIu 1IOlll lIltllCe proceed 10 bla-
densburg, where the election will be
held"
When the votes had been counted 1t
was found that the Federalists at
Georgetown had won by a narrow mar
gin of IA votes. while at Bladensburg
their opponents had carried the election
by majority of 10 votes, according to
the Intellingencer of November II, 1900.
Those were the last Maryland State
and national elections participated in,
within the District, by citizens of that
area, with the exception of those resid-
ing in the Virginia portion of the Dis
trict, who regained these political rights
after the retrocesson act of 1886
The local interest in the result of the
presidential election-which was not
known for more than a month later
that Jefferson had been the choice over
Adams (and Burr)-gave way to the i'm
pending event of much greater local i'm
portance, the first meeting of Congress
in the new Federal City,

sends to Moscow a man who, on his
record, is well equipped to represent
the United States there in the diff

Lord Beaverbrook on the first Joint
mission to Russia, and as evidence
of the regard in which he is held by
both British and Russians. was
chosen to accompany Prime Minister
Churchill for the later second front"
conference with Premier Stain.
Mr.. Harriman's prospective ap-
pointment had been rumored for
some time, and it was, consequently,
something of an anticlimaX when
President Roosevelt sent his nomina-
ton to the Senate, and soon there
after made known the resignation
of Admiral William H. Standley. who
has been our representative in Mos
COW for nearly two years. Born to
wealth, the son of E. H. Hartman
OF railroad fame, the Ambassador
designate was well established in the
industrial world when he came into
the administrator a decade ago as
special assistant administrator of the
National Recovery Administration.
His most recent assignment has been
as lease-lend eXpediter in London,
which afforded an opportunity for
observation and study that will stand
him in good stead in the new field.
Mr.. Hartman may be expected to
take a prominent part in the forth
coming conference of foreign min
listers which is designed to pave the
way for Roosevelt Churchill Stain
meeting.

This gospel of new wings for new

that! That could not be when for that
One who was brightest and best of the
sons Of the morning" life held at last not
garland of flowers, but crown of
thorns. And for Him the thorns and
the cross were as real as the lilies of
the field and the white flowers of Mary's
love. No, each day brings the possibility
of whitening disappointments, of over
whelming bereavement, of failing health,
of bitter loss, when all the daughters
OF music are brought low. 1t means
that some of life's most Turing vistas
and visions will move as we move, like
mocking mirages of the desert. We shall

the second or to the third best.
We may find ourselves misrepresented

purest motives labeled as bad. Wings

Paul prayed, oh, so passionately, that
certain poignant experiences which were
stabblng his soul and tearing his flesh
might be taken out of his life. But
came the answer: No, Paul, will not
take away the thorn. But here are wings
OF faith and strength to lift YOU I'D and
bear you on! "As your day, so shall your
strength be-" Then look at him as he
fits on those morning wings of a new
endurance. All the trouble that flesh is
heir to still assails and besets him. But
he has wings. Listen:
we are pressed on every side, vet
not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto
despair; pursued, yet not forsaken;
smltten down, yet not destroyed"
In these buoyant phrases we feel the
lift of wings! But the wings At over the
wounds. Yet there was healing In those
wings. and victory, too, the victory that
overcometh the world! Brother is he to a

For a moment sits and swings:

The Underground Press

A resolution by the directors OF the
American Society of Newspaper Ed
itors expresses respectful admira-
ton for their colleagues, the editors
of the underground press in the oc-
cupied nations of Europe, who are
doing, Gin constant and deadly peril,
what we do in safety and honor"
What are they doing? We can
know only the vague outlines of their
activities now, but when the war is
over and the historians begin to un-
cover the full story of resistance to
the Axis by people who were con-
Quered but who never surrendered,
the editors of the underground press
assuredly will have a place among
the heroes. All over Europe today
they are at work over their hidden
printing presses, catching what they
can of the news of the world from
the radio, somewhere finding the
paper and the ink to issue their
newspapers, knowing that discovery
means death.
The astonishing thing is the num-
ber of their publications. Informa-
ton obtained by the Office of War
Information indicates that in France
alone there are twenty-five regu-
larly issued papers, passed around
secretly to hundreds of thousands of
readers. In Belgium La Libre Bel
gique is keeping alive a name that
made history in the last war, main

high as forty thousand Yet it is

sympathetic response from the Amer

WINGS AND THE MORNING
By ReU Frederick BroUn Harris D. Litt Foundry
Methodist Church and Chaplain United States Senate

Wings of the morning! What haunt
ing phrase from the Book of Books.
1t is poem a picture, and a parable.
1t is the wedding certificate of two glories
which God hath joined together, wings
and the morning. Wings, which speak of
release from the earthly, emancipation
from the ground, kinship with the clouds
and the sky. And morning, with its new
heaven and new earth, morning dew
pearled, rosy-tinted, daWning light, pur-
ping east, songbird answering song from
topmost bough in the solemn hush of
nature newly born.
The morning is an open door out Of
any prison of the past with its dropping
pinions. Then joy cometh in the morn
ing No wonder the ancient prophet de-
clares, 'They that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength'-they shall
1y-"they shall mount up with wings as
eagles"
There is always strange melancholy
about wings that are not used; they mean
forlorn hopes, wasted powers. In COM
pany with some happy children recently
I spent an hour in the brdhouse of
our National Zoo. What a world congress
of bright-plumed creatures from every
cline! One tries to forget that it is a
prison. Here are yellow wings, red wings,
blue wings, green wings, black wings,
white wings, all made for the azure sky.
But these wings are cabined, Gagged and
confined-they cannot be lifted as those
of the gray gull who takes the dim
leagues with fearless eye Here is the
last word in birdhouSeS, but it is also
the last word in bird prisons. Here
wings are not lifted, they are folded. If
wings are here unfolded at all it is only
to beat with deadly futility against the
tantalizing bars that cut the beckoning
blue into faraway mocking patches.
What human tragedy if wings are
still folded when the gates of captivity
are ajar. 1t is sad. indeed, when any
man comes to that state in which each
new day does not seem in some true
sense to begin the world anew recalling
every departed hope, Frightening every
faded color of the night before. Night
rolls stones against the sepulcher of our
cherished plans and dearest hopes. But
"At sunrise every soul is born again.
Art thou mourner? Rouse thee
from thy spell.
Art thou a sinner? Sins may be
forgiven.
Each morning gives thee wings to
fly from hell,
Each night a star to guide thy feet
to heaven"

of the Nation. Hedging on the issue, by
means of numerous proposed amend
ments, was the popular way of tackling
the problem. The Star of October 2,
1893, for instance remarked: when the
time comes to take vote on the re-
peal bill and its amendments, skilled
parliamentary plotting will be required
to determine the order of precedence in
which the various motions will have to
be put. So many amendments have been
offered to the repeal bill-or rather so
many notices Of proposed amendments
have been given in the Senate-that a
general statement as to them may lead
to better understanding Of the whole
question"

Time for Plain Talk

Former Governor ALI M. LandOn
Of Kansas has sounded a warning
against devastating postwar scram-
BILE for advantage by the great ma
tions now united against the Axis
powers. Some plain talk" by the
representatives of this country, as
Mr.. Landon pointed out, might well
clear the atmosphere.
Mr.. Landon made it clear also that
postwar international collaboration
by the United States must be two
way street. In other words, all the
collaboration must not be done by
America. The bulk of u.s." he said,
ARE trying to make it plain that we
are prepared to do our part and
more in helping maintain peace in
the postwar world He continued,
however, that, in his opinion, the
great mass Of Americans will not be
satisfied unless the other nations
help remove the seeds Of another
war"
So far neither Great Britain nor
Russia has indicated how far each
is willing to go in solving certain
definite problems, among them the
Jewish problem, the rights of China,
government for India, the colo
nial problems of Holland and Great
Britain, and the integrity of some
of the smaller nations of Europe.
1t is the contention of Mr.. Landon
that these questions should be dis
cuSSed now.
Most Americans will agree with
Mr.. Landon when he said: I'VE want
to work with Russia and Great
Britain. What is more important,
we must work with them. But also
it is just as vital to them-if not
more so-that they work with u.s."
If Americans do not realize the i'm
portance of the United States as
world power, and assert it properly,
then no one else will.
The 1886 Republican nominee for
President, and still power in his
party, was critical of certain sugges-
tions by persons high in the present
administration. IF the world is
planning for US to be its postwar
sugar daddy with lease-lend, WPA,
relief and rehabilitation" Mr.. Lam
don said, "it is evident that America
is likely to turn in revolt not only on
the hallelujah program, but, along
with it, on the highly necessary pro-
gram Of reasonable world collabora-
ton and cooperation" "Global
spenders' in this country will, in his
opinion, make no hit with the Amer
lean taxpayers.
Mr.. Landon agreed that there is a
natural association of England and
America" Some of his Republican
colleagues have already declared
themselves favorable to a military al
lance with Great Britain in the post
war period, among them Governor
Thomas E. Dewey of New York. But
before this country enters into such
an alliance, Mr.. Landon contended,
it must know more of the future
plans of the British Empire leaders.
What this country wants above all,
in his opinion, is to help guarantee a
peaceful world, not merely to guar
antee the boundaries of the British
or any other empire, especially when
those boundaries are still matter
of future determination. The Kan
san has something there.
