Petuin and Vichy

Whatever may be said of his past
defeatlSm and his willingness to
collaborate with the Nazis, old Mar
shal Petain is still regarded by many
millions of Frenchmen as the hero
of Verdun, and in that role, despite
the weight of his years and the fig
urehead character of his office. he
has been able to exercise an impor-
tant restraining influence on his
countrymen. That is why Pierre
Laval and the German occupying
authorities have set such store by
his acquiescense in their policies.
That is why. too, the report of his
one-man rebellion, if true, is of
prime significance in the war.
At best, even with the Marshal's
benediction, the Nazi-dominated
Vichy regime has had its hands full
trying to keep seething France under
control. Since the invasion of North
Africa and the Russian victory at
Stallngrad, this task has grown in
creasingly more difficult and is espe-
cially urgent now-from the Hitler
Laval iewpoint-becauSe of what is
happening in Italy and on the east
ern front and in the skies over West
ern Europe, and because of such far
reaching political developments as
the recent Moscow conference. These
great events have done much to &C
celerate the activities of the French
underground and to fortify the spirit
of resistance among the French
people as a whole, so much so that
If Petain has withdrawn his cooper
alton, Vichy may no longer be able to
cope with the situation and the oc-
cupying authorities may be obliged
to take over the hard and compli-
Gated Job of governing the country
at time when German energies and
resources are seriously strained.
In any event, if the marshal has
really renounced Laval as his sue
cessor or if he has resigned in pro-
test as chief of state and called for
the reconstruction of France along
democratic lines, he has divorced
himself from Vichy and all its works
and has thus created a crisis of the
first order both for Laval and for
Laval's Nazi masters. In such cir
cumstances, where once he served
as restraining influence, Petain
may now be tanning the fires of re-
volt that have long been smoldering
in France. At the very least, if the
reports about him are accurate, he
has left the Vichy regime without
single top personality to whom
Frenchmen can look with any degree
of respect or confidence.
This may we'll mean the end of
that regime. even as a pretense-
which is bad news for Hitler, par
ticularly in view of the fact that he
already has more problems than he
can handle and that France is a
peculiarly acute one because 80 or 95
per cent Of the French people are
yearning for the day when they will
be able to rise against him in unison
with the Allied forces planning to
Invade and liberate their land.

Who Suid That?
From the Kansas City Kansan:

from tne Kansas City Kansan:
There were those in the last Sena-
torial campaign who tried to argue that
Arthur Capper was bit on the mature
side of life for the job. They intimated
more vigorous man could keep a
closer eye on the interests of Kansas
in the Senate
Let the record speak for itself.
The minority roll call clerk of the
Senate reports that the senior Kansas
Senator answered 96 of 90 roll calls
listed during the present session. There
have been 268 quorum calls and Senator
Capper has been present for 2e6 Of them.
A man is as young as he acts. Next
thing you know, they'll be saying the
Senator is too young and inexperienced!

"ELLICOTT STREET.

dear Sir.
+, I'm your column recently L. M. M.
seems to be quite sure that bluejays do
not harm other birds. She Cor he) is
very much mistaken for we have seen
them eat young songbirds and eggs
from several robins nests.
"They also destroyed redbird's nest
All of these in my yard and garden.
These I can be certain of, and there are
more instances of which I am highly
suspicious. Just because L. M. M. has
not seen this destruction happen is no
reason to disbelieve such stories.
"A song sparrow built her nest in a
small cedar close to my front door.
Nothing disturbed 1t until the day the
eggs Matched when the jay swooped into
the cedar, swallowed one nesting, then
when we tried to drive him away he
grabbed another one and flew away with
1t in his mouth.
my daughter was within few feet
OF the nest when this happened. She
was still on the porch when the jay
came back again and repeated his tactics
not withstanding her attempts to drive
him away.
THE jay got all four nestlings as soon
as they Matched. The Jay broke up
the second nest of this same pair of song
sparrows In the same summer.
when he came on murder bent to
the robins nest he met his match, for
though he succeeded in tearing the nest
and throwing down the embryo babies
the parent birds fought him to a finish.
They fought right at the foot of the
steps where I was standing, apparently
not even seeing me. The robins had the
jay down on his back, and he was yelling
'kamerad' for all he was worth.
After the fight was definitely won by
the robins the jay departed in a hurry,
and what is more he never came back
again until after the robins had gone
in the fall. However, this same Jay
broke up this same robins nest in the
same tree the next spring.
They are the most persistent robbers
and murderers I have ever known. They
are beautiful and interesting when on
their good behavior, but don't trust them
when they have young ones to feed.
THE jays are also greedy feeders, for
they will fill their cheek pouches with
peanuts or sunf1ower seeds so quickly
you have to watch closely to see them
do it.
But L. NJ M. is right about their
time habits. I have learned to put out
my seeds after the jays have made
their rounds.
by the way, this pair of robins COR
rather the male) has been with us for
five years. We can always identify him
by special mark. He is quite a pet
and comes to the kitchen door to beg
for raisins, which he dotes on.
Sincerely yours, A. w F."
Bluejays have always been the subject
OF praise and blame.

be no doubt that he is a persistent and
merciless nest robber-that he eats the

The Mars
From the Wichita EAGLE.

rroW tHe Wlcnlta Eagle.
Something of the dreadful future of
aerial warfare, if the world cannot
learn to compose its differences peace
fully. can be cleaned from the Martin
Mars, worlds largest flying boat which
has just completed its tests for the
United States Navy.
The Mars Is of "a tons with four
motors. The wing-spread is 200 feet
and the hull lit feet long with the
cubic capacity of IA or Is room house,
There are sleeping accommodations for
Is passengers and fully equipped galley
from which % persons are fed.
In performance the Mars stayed aloft
for 80 hours and II minutes without re-
fueling. 1t travelled 1900 miles, which
would take it to Berlin from Baltimore
and back to London without landing.

Strange German Mind

From the Detroit News
What possible consequence could flow
from the delayed bombing of the Naples
post Office, except the hardening of the
spirit OF the pursuer and, ultimately,
the killing of more Germans, is some
thing known only to the peculiar Ger
man mentality. Whatever the reason
Tor 1t, this alteration is bound to COM
plicate the task of treating reasonably
IN the peace with Germany which per-
sfsts In making it hard for itself.
