The local high school was pleased
to welcome Miss Mary Stevens who

Through the past days, Washing
ton has been anxiously watching
very trying, very delicate and diff
ficult operation the attempt TO
break in stubborn three-horse
team which has never pulled togeth-
er before.
The difficult journey toward an I'M
derstanding TO be reached by per-
sonal conversations across the table
between Britain, the United States
and Russia has begun. Following
perhaps secret tripartite conferences
between representatives of the three
nations is the planned meeting OF
the heads of the three foreign Of
fees. Questions frankly discussed
with unsolved problems left open (if
plans don't 60 amiss) will then be
taken up between Roosevelt, Stain
and Churchill personally.
It is a tremendous undertaking.
This three-horse team has never run
in harness together before. America

Soviet Russia has had only one short
and violent experience-tha with
Germany-Which ended in disaster,
and as for Britain. she is accus-
toned TO being lead-horse, there
fore, lot of patience will be needed
to hitch all three abreast.
There is whole library of docu-
mentation to prove that an all-for-
one, one-for-all agreement among
these three nations is impossible.
But it must be remembered that
there were IS powerful reasons once
why United States of America was
impossible too.
The present goal is not the forma-
ton Of triple alliance. The present
problem is simply to get common
sense agreement between three ma
tons without which a postwar situa-
ton is bound to arise which Prime
Minister Churchill described as
confusion. And when he used that
word, he made new high for Eng
lish understatement. Few doubt that
he meant war.

MARRIED AT SEATTLE

FORMER EUREKA GIRL
MARRIED AT SEATTLE
Miss Mae Cole, twin daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Cole of Out
look, Wash, formerly residents of
Eureka, exchanged vows with Mr.
Andrew Peterson of the U. S. N,
Friday evening, Sept. "a, at $50
o'clock, in Seattle.
The wedding took place at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Hans Olson
uncle and aunt of the groom. A door,
uniquely decorated and framed in
flowers with baskets of carnations
and gladioliuses, formed the back
ground for the lovely ceremony per-
formed by the Rev. Leonard Darbee
of the Galilee Baptist church. Mr..
Max Johnson, we'll known Christian
hymn soloist, sang three numbers,
AT Dawning," THE Wedding
Hymn" and "A. Wedding Prayer"
Wilbur Martin, also of the Navy,
and an assistant chaplain, accom-
panied Mr.. johnson and played the
wedding march. The bride was es-
corted to the wedding altar by her
father, and was beautifully goWned
in white satin of princess style with
train and fingertip illusion veil. She
carried bouquet of sweet peas and
cardinals centered about a white
orchid She was attended by her
twin sister, Mrs. Mahlon Eskes (nee
Fac Cole) who chose a gown of
dusty pink taffeta, styled with long
bodice and full skirt. Pink velvet
bows formed her head dress, her
bouquet consisted of vari-colored
pom-poms. Mahlon Eskes, brother
in-1aw of the bride, acted as best
man. The brides mother wore a
royal blue suitmaker dress, while
Mrs. Olson was gowned in dark
blue; both wore corsages of pink
rosebuds and cardinals.
Following the ceremony, the null
ti-color wedding cake and the punch

Post War Russia

From purely cynical and materi-
al standpoint, it can be argued that
postwar Russians will not attempt
any move against Britain or Amer
lea, either from within by propagan-
da and intrigue or from without By
military attack because they will be
an exhausted nation when the war is
over. Competent observers believe
1t will take several generations for
Russia to recover. Therefore, Rus
sia's chief advantage will be gained
by cooperation with other nations
rather than by threats of aggression.
TO some degree, that also applies
to Britain. Unquestionably, the
United States will emerge from the
war the greatest military power IN
the world. Only a combination OF
powers could defeat her. There
rests, then, the moral responsibility
on America Of wise and generous use
Of her poWer-nobless oblige.
This, I admit, is the bright side
of the medal. But until the attempts
toward tripartite discussion and
agreement have utterly failed, there
is no reason why the medal should
net be presented, shiny shiny side

Now, what are the main PROPOSE

Russia do not see eye to eye?

have been told by persons pre-
Stunning to speak with authority. that
Russia suggested the creation of the
Mediterranean commission, body
made up of Representatives from
Moscow, London and Washington,
meeting on equal terms. That COM
mission, whoever thought it up, was
agreed upon. Historically, Britain
has always refused Russia any hand
in Mediterranean affairs. That would
seem to be step forward and even
before the commission could start
functioning, Russia was allowed &c
have her say concerning the terms
of the Italian surrender. Agreement
was reached as TO the terms.
That would seem to indicate that
a concillatory atmosphere has been
created in advance. Unless Russia
| is absolutely unwilling to make com
promises, we can expect reciprocal
ton when the questions of the Bal
kans and the Middle East arise
where there have always been SINH
] lar conflict of interests.

Arguments Against

As | said, there are plenty of rea-
sons which can be cited why Tire
United States and Britain and Rus
STA cannot possibly agree but there
are other reasons why they can.
There are two things which stand
out in most peoples minds as evil
dences that Stain is not playing ball
now and doesn't want to. One is the
recurrent complaint in the official
Russian press and earlier statements
by Stain himself to the effect that
Russia is decidedly displeased with
the Allies for not having built a
second front by invading Europe
from the British Isles. The other is
the Moscow sponsorship of a Free
Germany committee which appears
to hold out better terms to Germany
than unconditional surrender which
the Allies demand.
Recently, talked with military
man who suggested that perhaps the
call for second front after the in
vasion Of Italy was part of an agree
ment with the Allies to confuse Ger
many. Churchill has said that he
was assured by Stain, when the Rus
sian drive began this summer, that
the Russians were confident that
they could withstand German at
tack. As things have turned out,
the Germans have not been able to
counterattack. They have ordered
a general retreat. 1t was admitted
by military experts at first that this
is a planned and orderly retreat.
After the invasion of Italy, the Ger
mans admitted that it was a general
retreat. Now it looks like rout.
In other words, the creation Of the
third front" in the Mediterranean
has forced the Germans to give up
the idea of attempting a counter
offensive. But since the slender
hope of Hitler lies in dissension
among the United Nations, why
should Russia let him know that she
was satisfied with any Allied action?
Free Germany Committee
As to the Free Germany commit
tee, Russia itself has not made any
direct official statement concerning
it, has not officially backed up its
program 1t is composed of German
prisoners in Russia who demand Of
their fellow-countrymen that Ger
many get rid of her present rulers
and surrender. That in itself is
something everyone wants to see.
How much short of unconditional
surrender that is, certainly is open
to friendly discussion. We know that

The Baltic States

Another very sensitive question is
the difference of opinion as TO the
treatment of the small nations which
lie on Russia's western frontiers.
notably the Baltic states. It is said
that Russia feels that as soon as
the German armies are driven back
into the Reich, these border states.

land) are an integral part of Russia.
The United States, on the other
hand, has always stood for the rights
Of small nations, for self-determina-
ton. OF course, Russia argues that
plebiscites which indicate desire to
join the Soviet Republics have al
ready been taken in part of the
territory and if they were taker
again, they would show the same
results. That they express the will
of the Nationals is denied by rep
resentatives of these countries in
Washington.
Great Britain leans toward an ac.
ceptance of Russia's views how
ever. The point has yet to be settled
with the United States.
An additional point, which is real
ly the one which has always caused
suspicion on the part of Britain and
America, is the question Of commu-
mist propaganda spread by Russia
for the purpose Of overthrowing all
capitalist governments. This is bal
anced by the fear on the part OF
Russia that capitalist governments
are bent on destroying her as a com
munist state.
This is tough one admittedly but
not beyond the solution by honest
men. Nor do honest men despair
OF its settlement.

A scant three hundred feet from

Number One Platoon, 'chutes au-

and the ground began to erupt in
fountains of earth. A strong wind
was blowing the floating outfit
directly toward the block house.
Emery, swinging wildly from the
big chute, was the first to land.
He hit the ground with bounce,
and the parachute bellied out. 1t

There were only four gaps in the

inspection. Fortunately those gaps,
too, would be filled as soon as the
men came from the hospital. The
General beamed as he went along
the line, pinning medals to the

The Lieutenant closed his eyes
against the honor of this develop
ment, then staggered forward to
report it to the pilot. That gentle
man returned, white with anger.
He had none of the affection for
Emery that Number One Platoon
had. He gave vent to his irritation
until the Platoon squirmed angrily
in its seats. Finally he jerked off
his own parachute and threw it on
