NEW HAVEN, Conn.-If the Allied
Nations remain on as friendly terms
with one another through choice as
they now are through necessity, the
present war will be the worlds last large
scale conflict, believes Prof. William
Lyon Phelps.
And he reminds us he is serious when
he says the climate is responsible for
superficial" ill-feeling between Amer
leans and the English. Moreover, he
explains.
Unlike lot of people, Yale's eminent
man of letters does not care to talk
about the war because 'in these times
we need to hear more about religion,
the theater, sports and such things"
But, naturally, man who has keenly
observed the world scene for three score
years and more has many ideas about
a war unlike any other war the world
has ever SEEN" He expounded some OF
them in an hour-long talk in the book
lined study of his home only few
short blocks from downtown New Haven
and the Yale campus where he has been
long and affectionately known as Billy"
Phelps.
1T is, of course, my hope that after
the war all the nations that are allied
now against Hitler, while keeping their
absolute integrity as separate nations,
will remain as loyal and devoted friends
in peace as necessity has forced them
to be in war Because II we win this
war and the Allies can all remain in
r,3n la
not on a large scale, anyhow"
Allied Unity Imperative.
He believes that there is a good chance
that this will come to pass because we
have learned the lesson that If we don't
hang together, we will hang separately
We must maintain sympathy and un-
derstanding. If we don't it's suicide"
He believes that it is necessary FOL
English and Americans to forget the
superficial" difference between them
that has been a source of irritation,
that the unity seen in America ane
England since the war Is downright
astonishing
The i'll feeling he says exists between
English and Americans long has beer
a cause of concern to Prof. Phelps, wh'
admires both. Basically, he blames 1t OF
Enelands climate. When he advanced
this theory last summer in speech .
Montreal, Canadians thought he wa
Joking, but, II really believe It,"
"One reason" he said, why there
so much Ill feeling between the Britisl
and Americans is that they both spea
the same language and have so much Il
common that they recognize each other
faults. All we know of other countrie
is that they have faults, but we don
know what they are.
Our Differences.

ment, and so the difference has arouse
irritation on both sides. Their dineI

by the climate. We have sunshine an

and back to the department, where they
gave it to him three or four days after.
And my customer was hopping mad
about it and he said he still didn't see
why he couldn't get his letters at the
department where they belonged.
But think he was wrong and that 1t
was the FBI and the Army Intelligents
and the Secret Service that fixed it up to
send his mail that way so as to fool the
Germans and so that the spies and
sabotures wouldn't get hold Of them
and learn any Of our secret plans.

He was a delightful companion, full
of genius, of nice culture, of more taste
than strength, perhaps, but capable OF
a great deal Of labor and we'll fitted for
clerical duties of any description, as he
wrote a beautiful and expeditions hand

of collating, indexing and making an

the Government with the several Indian

Payne was delighted. Nothing could

work with wonderful zeal and intel

relief to his friends, and we determined
that he should not be displaced in a
hurry. Knowing the Secretary's peculiar

to shoe behind as the Scotsman says
we instructed Payne in regard to his
mode in which he should bear himself

OJ oSAAAA O@~6SSo = ASSSoA'
During the present holiday season,
how about brought to a close, the Gov
ernment for very good reasons dis
couraged the travelling over the railroads
Of the public whose only desire was to
spend few days around Christmas at
the family fireside and to see the dear
old folks back home once more.
Naturally, this suggestion of the Fed
eral officials did not apply to members
of the armed forces on leave, thousands
of whom undoubtedly took advantage OF
the opportunity and visited parents, per-
haps for the first time in months. But
1t was happy Christmas while 1t lasted,
and one which many will never forget.
Those who did not heed the good ad-
vice of the Government ofhcials-made
in perfectly good faith, with perfectly
good reason for it-and could not resist
returning home to see their loved ones,
we in our hearts must certainly forgive.
for after all-at this time of the year
particularly-the temptation to see our
folks back home has power back OF it
greater than any power on earth. In
deed, John Howard Payne sensed this
feeling when he wrote his Home, Sweet
Home" still reverently and affectionatsly
regarded the entire world over. though
the author died abroad, far from his
native America.
Died in Tunis.
Yes. the writer of this emotional mas
terpiece died in Tunis, Tunisla, on the
African side of the Mediterranean, per-
haps not so very far from where our
boys are now engaged in titanic strug-
gle, and in Tunis he was buried.
This celebrated American had been
sent to Tunis as the United States Con-
sui, 1t being the second appointment he
had received to this place, and hardly
had he arrived at his port before his
health began to fail.
His sickness was long and painful but
he was not without friends in this far
off country of North Africa and here
Thomas F. Reade, the British Consul,
and four Sisters of Charity, Rosalie,
Josephine. Marie Xavier and Celeste,
were very devoted to him, and we are
told read books to him whenever he
was able to listen. He was very gentle
and thoughtful of those who admin
istered to him. and it was a pleasure to
care for him, the sisters said.
With impressive religious ceremonies
his remains were inferred in this far of
Place, in the Protestant cemetery Of
st. George. A few months later the
United States Government caused his
grave to be marked by thick, white
marble slab, with the national seal
carved thereon and a brief and appro-
pirate epltaph. On each of the four
edges was inscribed a line of poetry,
which when taken together read:
"Sure, Uhen thy gentle spirit fed
To realms beyond the azure dome.
With arms outstretched Gods angels
Welcome to Heauen's Home, Sueet
Home"

the theater, they are extremely good for

sailors already in service In every part

Only One Aim.
Prof. Phelps is mot much interested
In war aims because I'VE should have at
present only one aim in this war, and
that is to win it," but many aspects of
the conflict interest him and one of these
is the unity it has brought to the people
fighting it. In this connection, he said:
"It is very interesting to see how much
more united our country is in this war
than it was in World War l. The same is
true of Great Britain and Canada.
"One of our leading American humor-
lists said 10 years ago that if America
really believed in preparedness we should
at once begin to build enormous prisons
to house the vast number of conscien-
tious objectors. And it will be remem-
bered that about the same time the OK
ford Union, a body of undergraduates.
voted that under no circumstances would
they fight for king or country.
Liberty or Slavery.
Now the number Of conscientious OBJ
jectors Is surprisingly few because 1t is
clear to everybody that this war is an
out t-and-out fight between liberty ano
slavery.
"It is unlike any other war the world
has ever seen. Napoleon conquered near
ly all Europe, but every conquered ma
ton went on with its own life and it,
own customs. In this war, conquest by
Hitler means complete slavery"
Then he added
And We might consider not only tht
terrible injury that Hitler has done tt
other countries-for think he has dom
more harm than any other person in thu
history of the world-but the fatal in
jury he has done to Germany which uses
to be the resort of people all over tn
world who wished to study things as diff
ferent as music and chemistry. It wa
the mecca of graduate students in ever
country.
HE has succeeded in his own countr
in turning Athens into Sparta, an
Sparta contributed absolutely nothin
to the world except physical courage,
quality common to all the races Of man
kind"
Prof. Phelps expressed great admira
ton for the way President Roosevelt an
Prime Minister Churchill are conductin
the war, and of the latter he said: "Neve
have so many British people owed s
much to one man."
Asked what he thought lay in stor
for people Of Axis nations II they are de
feated, Prof. Phelps termed 1t "tre
mendously difficult" question to ar
swer, but predicted that within whs
will seem like surprisingly short tin
we will be on friendly terms with tho
people,"

So he began putting his room number
on his letterhead and asking people to
write to that room number and the
people did and still the letters went
over to the War Board and over to the
court and back to the department, where
he got them after three or four days.
So he saved up some envelopes and
he sent them to the postmaster and he
