ing definite plans. l was afraid we
would get into this war. and OF all
il would mean to us. But now that
we are in il. much sooner than
could have anticipated. now that
it means so much-well, believe
we ought to wait, darling"
"See here" Karens blue eyes
looked into his. Am / being jilt-
ed? Are you trying in your gentle
manly fashion to tell me you don't
want to marry me now" Her tone,
too, was bantering. but her look,
meeting his, was grave.
Surely he did not think. because
OF that little difference over Buffy
which she had almost. II not quite.
forgotten, that that should change
anything as important as this be-
tween them.
mo. I'm not trying TO back out"
Paul laughed. II wouldn't keep you
waiting at the church. dearest. 1t
goes much deeper than that. There
are so many things to consider, not
just ourselves. Karen"
Waiting at the chu-ch-that was
what Marty had said when Paul
had not shown up on time when
her engagement was announced the
night OF the Festival. Marty had
said that Paul would be late for his
wedding. Who. besides ourselves ?"
Karen asked.
We'll our chiSlren TO
suggest a few others" Paul's dark
eyes were very grave now, his
smile alone maintaining that light
er touch with which he and all his
kind must, in gallantry perhaps,
employ TO gloss over even the hint
Of sentimentality that might be at
tached TO the things of the spirit.
This followed the code OF their
day-to discard the faith of their
fathers, to be nonchalant on every
occasion, to present always a So
phisticated front in order to cover
up what might lie beneath such a
glittering armour.
In proof of things that did lie i'm
derneath was Pauls embarrass-
ment and evasion now-and yet the
fact that he felt in fairness to
Karen that he must make her look
at this new problem concerning
them from this particular angle.
"Our children =" Karen said.
And did not finish because here
was something else almost toe big
to comprehend, not becaus- she
suffered any sense of shyness\ or
would try to dismiss anything so
important. She had thought it
would be big thing, big chance
to face being a wife. This-to be a
mother-went even far beyond
that.
1T wouldn't be fair TO YOU"
Paul said again, IF you found you
were going to have a child, dar-
ling, and If that child's father
might not come back. Or again, he
might come back. but not the
same man who went away, perhaps
as further burden. But you know

II most certainly don't want Ia
make. But I think maybe we ought
to wait to be married until after
ward"
That may be a long while, I"
Karen said She had not wanted to
be hurried into marriage before.
She even had protested all change
in her own heart, but now. with
Paul willing to make what she
knew was a sacrifice for him, she
could not do any less than stand
willing to go on as they had
planned before.
1T may be-" he agreed. No one
can say how long a war will last.
Again, maybe we will not need to
wait quite that long. only thought
that now you ought to have more
time. with so many more things TO
consider. thought you ought to be
the one to decide, darling, without
my urging you to hurry things up"
II guess" karen's eyes were
bright, her pride in Paul for being
so fair, so decent, making them
hold such brightness, IF you can
go of and fight a war, I can stay
home and wait for you. Either way,
as your wife, or as we are now,
promised to each other. Maybe we
should take a little more time. But
not too long, Paul" These things
that he. had said, this new under
standing, helped more than any
thing else possibly could do, to
ALLEVIATE that other misunderstand-
ing. to heal it almost completely.
Il hoped you'd say that" His
dark eyes thanked her. IT'S sport
ing of you to be willing to go on
as we'd planned l shall always re-
member that, dearest. Things
ought to shape up by spring. We
ought to begin to start handing it
back to those dirty yellow dogs by

spring I'll know where 1 stand, too,
and we can make all our plans
much easier"
Certainly this was the sensible
thing TO do, to wait until spring, at
least, for their wedding. And that
was as it should be, since they al
ways tried to be sensible about
their plans, even their love. 1t
would be much better for Karen;
she would not have that rushed
feeling. those nagging doubts that
sometimes still persisted.
She could give another small
item to the papers, simply stating
that due to present circumstances

not contradictory to being a woman,
Karen felt sorry for the postpone

She was to remind herself of this
that next afternoon when she had
an unexpected caller.

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

KAREN WAS proud that Pau
had Joined up with the Civil All
Patrol as soon as war had been de-
clared. Paul not only offered his
services, but his private plane as
well. II was the sort OF thing she
would have expected him to do. II
was the sort of thing every Ameri-
can would want TO do, man, woman
and child. There would be work for
each, in his own field. Karen her
self would find a part. no matter
how small it might seem, sor this
was every Americans war now.
When Paul told her that he might
apply later for q commission in the
regular Air Forces, depending upon
subsequent events and upon her, he
meant that he felt she should have
a part in that decision. IF should
90 into the regular service" he told
Karen, you may want to postpone
that wedding date that was in last
Sundays papers"
But why" Karen asked. She
had given that date to the papers
so that there would be no postpone
ment.
For a good many reasons" Paul
returned. His manner was light, but
only to cover the seriousness OF
what they were discussing. That
misunderstanding that had arisen
over Bufy still hung between
them. although it had nothing to
do with the matter under discus
sion now. II had not been brought
up again. 1t probably would not
be. with so many more important
matters hanging fire. For one, l
would be sent away, mighty far
away, Australia. India, or any one
of those tiny dots on the map that
stand for our last outposts in the
vast Pacific. And l might not come
back, darling" He still spoke in the
same light tone. his dark eyes smil-
ing into hers.
Karen knew he stated this last
as a fact he must accept, as so
many young men would have to
face and accept it; she knew Paul
faced It without fear. that man who
had gone Immediately up in his
ship again when it had cracked up.
as he had told Buffy in the story
about himself. Paul was not afraid
Of dying, not for his country. So,
although she was afraid for him,
as women always have been for
those they love. her heart swelled
with even more pride.
Acceptance-there it was again
Martin Halidays philosophy.
Karen wondered fleetingly, as she
had during these last days since
that fateful Sunday, how war
would affect that odd young man.
Would he sign up Immediately,
too? Would he be eager to do his
part? Would he accept whatever
this might mean and bring to him?
1T wouldn't be fair to you," Paul
was saying, after she had replied
that she still did not see what his
going so far away or not coming
back. had to do with changing that
wedding date. II thought I could
ask you to do il. That was one rea-
son, I guess, why l urged you into

there has grown much worse In
the last few weeks.
The generalissimo is faced
with a twofold problem: The
successful endeavors of the Japs
to pacify the section of the coun-
try under Nipponese occupation,
and the intensified military ac-
ton by the imperial armies
against the fertile regions still
controlled by Gen. Chang.
In addition, there have been
some defections among the Chi
nese generals which might in
crease In proportion unless def
mite improvement is shown now
in the supplying Of China with
war materials and planes.
Chang is said to be as deter
mined as ever to remain on our
side but, unquestionably, there
is danger of his being pushed
out by less determined generals
who are thinking In selfish terms.
Jap Progress Reported.
According to reliable reports,
the paciflcation process of the
japanese has made substantial
progress in the last few months.
The civilian population, harassed
and starving, is grateful for
the bowl of rice which the
Jap commissariat is distrib-
uting. Those in position to
cultivate the land are assisted
by the Nipponese authorities. and
when the crops are ready small
but sufficient proportion of their
work is kept by the farmer.
In cities, the small merchant

The Great Game of Politics
Press Losing Ground 1t Nay Be UnobIe
To Regain Because Of Presidents Attitude

No one is going to do it for them.
They cannot-and should not-rely
on either the public or the pohti-
clans There is no doubt that If,
with proper spirit, they stood to-
gether, the correspondents, backed
by their papers, could put up a bat
tie that would make 1t impossible
for anything like the Hot Springs
hamstringing to be put over on them
or for any public man to treat them
the way Mr.. Roosevelt has.
The trouble is they lack unity.
There are good many who deeply
dislike the Presidents patronizing
affability when he is in a good hu-
NOR and resent his sneers and gibes
when he is in bad one.
When he makes his Peeping Tom
comparisons they would like to in
dicate resentment, either by retiring
in body from the conference or
at least to refrain from loudly
laughing at the presidential droll-
cries. Abjectly to swallow dis
paraging personal references along
with professional indictment seem
to them to indicate a lamentable
lack Of self-respect and to invite
contempt.
Example for Lesser Officials.
They know, too, that if politician
in the White House can treat them
contemptuously there will be dis
position among those in lesser places
to do the same.
But these resentful reporters are
in the minority and they get slight
support from their colleagues. Some
of these applaud everything the
President does and are referred to
as his "stooges"; others either don't
regard his remarks as insulting or
are Indifferent to being kicked
around.
Bearing no resentment at being
treated roughly at one conference,
they eagerly come back for the next
and, the President then being in
good humor, they all have jolly
good time.
The plain fact is that unless there
develops a fixed determination
among the correspondents as a whole
to assert and insist upon their pro-
fessional rights and aggressively re-
sent personal disparagement-and
unless their newspapers back them
up-their rights will continue to
shrink and their personal standing
diminish.
1t is easy to dismiss all this with
wisecrack and to laugh, as the
New Dealers do, over "the way the
boss handles the newspaper boys"
But the fact remains that, as a
result of what is being done, news
papers and newspapermen are losing
ground now they may not be able to
regain. That is serious for the press,
but, despite their lack of under
standing and concern, 1t is also Sc
rious for the people.
