NEW YORK, April 26.-Light SELL

Gains, running to point or so

Blame for the appearance of STUN

on revival of apprehension over

Dnieper River

The Dnleper is one of the three
most important rivers of Europe"
but the famous stream along which
the Germans and the Russians now
arc ENGAGED in battle always has
been 2 problem to the people to which
it belongs. It lies completely within
Soviet territory, rising in the sWamps
at the foot Of the Valdai hills in the
province of SmolenSk, flowing ap-
proximately fourteen hundred miles
IN SoutheaSterly direction, finally
emptying into the Baltic Sea after
having turned west at the big bend"
mentioned so frequently in current
dispatches from the fighting front.
A glance at the map will suggest
that it is the character of the coun-
try through which the Dnieper
passes that conditions its progress.
In the first part of its course it
moves through an undulating area.
Then in succession it journeys
through fertile plains, rocky steppes,
granite OffShoOtS of the Carpathian
Mountains and grassy prairies again.
Its power is undoubted-andi in nor
nal times exceedingly valuable-but
for that very reason it invariably
has been difficulty for the Rus
slams. South of Dnepropetrovsk the
river races through one rapid after
another The speed with which it
travels may be guessed from the fact
that in twenty-five miles it drops
more than hundred and fifty feet,
a distance comparable with the
height of Niagara.
For two centuries the governments
of the Romanoff czars struggled to
manage the Dnieper. The work they
started was taken over by the Com
munists following the revolution of
1918. A vast ferro- concrete dam,
with sluices and locks allowing ships
to pass and turbines for generating
electricity, was commenced under
the direction of American engineers
in 1927. Several canals, including
one eXcavated in 1882, were in use

Traces War TO Japan
A Dozen Years Ago.


To the Editor of Tn. Star:
Lord God of Hosts. be with us vet,
Lest we forget-lest We forget"
Less than quarter of a century ago
your boy, who perhaps now is Offering
his life somewhere in the vast reaches
of this global war, was toddler in baby
clothes.
Less than a quarter OF a century a"1
the question of whether We should loin
with other peace-loving nations in
measures seeking to prevent future wars
was before the United States Senate.
That question again is before the
Senate
The issue, certainly, is too serious for
indulgence in any elimination or re-
elimination for the follies or misjudg-
ments of the past. Consideration. how
ever, of the causes of the greatest, most
cruel senseless of all wars seems peril
nent.
The proximate causes of this war are
not far to seek. England and France
were in honor bound to declare war
when Hitler struck at Poland
We? Well, after Pearl Harbor there
was nothing left to talk about When a
bully, without warning, knocks you
down, you don't stop to inquire why he
did it. Not If you have gun, you don't.
The same facts are pertinent of Russia.
ProXimate causes, however, are seldom,
if ever, the primal cause of anything.
For the primal cause of this war I
believe we should go back to the fall of
1881, when the military party of Japan
launched its armed adventure into Man.
churia-and nobody tried to stop it.
Following this course of events, Musso-
lini tnoting that Japan got away with"
her clear act of brigandage, despite the
crippled League of Nations, the Locarno
protocol the World Court, The Hague
Tribunal, the Kellogg BRAND pact, de-
cided to push his "imperial' ambitions
with an unprovoked attack upon de-
fenseless Ethiopia and Albania. Other
acts of aggression by II Duce and by
Hitler went unimpeded.
What is the lesson of this briefly out
lined history of recent world events?
That there Is but one law or argument
known and respected by aggressors or
aggressor nations: That of superior and
readily available military power.
Let us hope and pray, for the sake
OF this and future generations, that the
Senate does an effective and worth
while job on the momentous issue that

Ii Should Go On

The campaign to raise $4,000 900
for the Community War Fund must
continue until the total objective has
been reached. No other decision is
possible in the face of the excellent
showing already made. There is no
reason for stopping and a great
many reasons for carrying on.
Yesterdays report indicated that
S3,l51,2 ,256.57 had been pledged and
that the deficit was 345 per cent of
the complete goal. When the volun-
teer solicitors meet at noon today
they may hear that only 20 or 25 per
cent remains unSubScribed. In that
event they will wish to keep on with
their effort until they have achieved
the unqualified success anticipated
at the start Of the drive
Leaders of the campaign are
agreed that the problem still TO be
solved is that OF covering the terri
tory assigned to be solicited. Inc!em-
ent weather has retarded the work
Some of the volunteers have been i'll:
others necessarily have been absent
from home; many have been handi-
capped by the restriction Of gasoline
supplies for the automobiles which
they used in their canVaSSing in
earlier years. The result is evident
in figures suggesting that only 260,-
600 persons out Of potential total
of 100000 or more have been ap-
preached To halt the drive now
would be to abandon the endeavor
halfway. 1t is imperative to go
over the top
The demand for money for the
emergency war services and the CO.
operating home front agencies cam
not be pruned to meet the conven-
fence Of a calendar. 1t is require
ment which will grow aS the weeks
pass. To comprehend its meaning,
citizen has only to think Of what
Washington and its suburbs would
be without facilities for translating
the ideal Of brotherhood into prac-
tical reality. The beautiful words of
William Morris are true: "Forsooth,
brethren, fellowship is heaven and
lack of fellowship is hell; fellowship
is life and lack Of fellowship is
death; and the deeds that ye DO
upon the earth, it is for fellOWShipS

Corn Cobs Go to War
From the Topeka Capital.

From the Topeka Capital.
Wars are won, not alone by great
offensive drives and mammoth concen-
trations of manpower and supplies, but
by little things which 60 into the gigan-

Kansas should therefore take satisfac-
tion in the fact that ordinary corn cobs
of the kind produced on almost any
Kansas farm, are now being given an
opportunity for service. The Navy wants
a supply for use in cleaning carbon from
airplane engines, and has asked the
Douglas County farm agent to furnish
information as to what quantities could
be obtained. The Navy needs $500 tons
of cobs, which will be ground up and will
replace costly material now in service.
There's nothing heroic appearing
about corn cobs, but they're helping win
the war, and Kansas can take pride in
every contribution of this nature.

Mr.. Churchill Defended
BY One Who Saw Him in 1900.

To the Editor of The Star:
David Lawrence not long since took
a good-humored fling at Winston
Churchill for bypassing the war corre-
spondents in his speech to the House
of Commons. The Prime Minister al
legedly "scooped" them by a series Of
interesting disclosures about military
Developments most of which were al
ready known to the correspondents but
which they could not use because of
the censorship.
1t should be mentioned that the cor
respondents principally concerned are
officially attached to the armies in the
field, and that everything they see or
hear arises from the fact that they are so
accredited. Information acquired is not
theirs to use until the censors give con-
sent. In other words. they would not
have known about the developments in
question if they had not been attached
to the armies in a confidential capacity.

he is ready to eat them.
The Warblers are so named because

The bullbat. or nighthawk. is neither

but Is really a flycatcher.
In the South many persons think
the nighthawk and the whippoorwill
are the same bird, but they are not. The
nighthaWks have white wing bars,
whereas the whippoorwill has none.
Such popular names as humming bird
and flycatcher explain themselves.
Every bird has a variety of popular
names. many of them used only in GER
tain sections of the country.
Often these regional names refer to
nesting OF other habits of the birds.
The redpoll has red top.
Some people become confused about
the names of the common woodpeckers.
The red-bellied woodpecker is supposed
to have red on its stomach, but nobody
around here has ever seen any red.
The common names of hairy wood
pecker and downy woodpecker refer to

tlnguishaole at any distance, but only

specimen.
The name of pigeon comes from Latin

Americas Uniqueness

A report from Fifth Army head
quarters, making special mention of
japanese Americans fighting against
the NaziS in Italy, serves to remind
us that we are unique as Nation
japan cannot say to its people
that American battaliOnS are in the
Japanese Army fighting against
America. Nor can Germany make
similar claim. No country in the
world, in fact, can say what we can
say.
All races, all colOrs make u up.
And when wars Ike the present Cne
engulf US, all races and all colorS
take up arms for America. When
we strike back at our enemies, the
American kin of those enemies do
the striking Of Italian
extraction, of German extraction,
even of Japanese extraction. We are
of almost every extraction cOncelV-
able, black. white and yellow, and so
we are tied together not by any mys-
tical philosophy of blood Or common
ethnic traits, but solely and simply
bv an idea-the idea of democracy,
of individual freedom, Of liberty
under law. of justice before which
all of us stand equal.
Name off the nations of the world,
and not one Of them will be able to
saw. as the United States can say,
I'VE are the syntheSiS of the worlds
peoples None Of them can say, as
we can. lin our factories, on our
farms, in our armed forces. are men
and women whose ancestral ties run
back to some village in Asia, to some
dark corner Of Africa, to the soil of
every part Of Europe, to islands as
remote as the remOteSt sea" And 1t
IS only the idea of freedom that
holds us together-the idea plus the
opportunity TO live and prosper
within it's political and economic
framework.
Of the nese-AmericanS fight
ing in Italy, the Fifth Army says
that they obviously believe in what
they're doing, and look calmly secure
because of it." and the same can be
said of every other national eXtrac-
ton represented in our Army and
Navy. They believe in America, in
the American way of life, and they
ha,c the patriotism which that be-
lief inspires, and that is why so many
of them are fighting and dying now
against the very lands that gave
birth to their fathers and fore
fathers.
That America is thus composed of
SO many different elements living
together under one idea, that it has
diversity and unity at the same
time, gives its strength peculiar
to itself, politically, militarily and
otherwise. 1t is helping us now

World Peace Not Expected
Through Super Government
To the Editor of The Star

To the Editor of The Star:
The theory that permanent peace
can be had by bringing together the
individual groups of peoples in a world
state or league, with a central police
department. to regulate their behavior,
Is not substantiated by mans past ex-
perience.
Perhaps the best example of that
experience is that of the Roman re-
public, which had virtually all the
groups within its reach under its
wing, but which remained in a con-
dition of constant internal war. Other
examples are those of ancient Persia
and Greece.
A modern example is that of the
British Empire, which has had inces-
SAINT trouble, including the American
Revolutionary War. Even the great
United States had a civil war.
The assumption that such a theory
will work out now because the peoples
of the world are more enlightened is
not borne out by the evidence in hand.
The peoples of the world still are buy
ing and selling; still are hating, fear
ing, coveting, envying and believing that
might makes right"
The world-unity- o-have- peace the
ory reminds one a little of those who
are going to wait until they get to
Heaven to live at peace with their
fellowmen. Every indication is that it
is going to take considerably more
than world state or league of ma
tions to bring permanent peace to this
sphere. j. J. SPERRY.

artificial bitches never solved the

the whole tremendous network Of

respects the Susquehanna above

1t would seem that the Germans
must be weak and steadily growing
weaker since they cannot hold such
a terrain and the Russians strong
and steadily growing stronger since
they are pushing forward hour by

kind of citizenry, citizenry whose

AS much for this reason as any
