before throwing hundreds Of
- thousands of American lives
into invasion Of q powerfully
fortified Europe, should we not
make a supreme effort to attain
our detectives through destruc-
ton of enemy morale?
The two great weapons or
morale are hope and fear. Major
emphasis has thus far been on
fear. We have broadcast our
arms production, man power.
new AEF, and the impressive
Russian victories. To strike fear
into the hearts of the enemy Is
sound strategy. But is 1t not
equally sound to hold out high
hopes to their war-weary civil
ians, who by showdown and
botage conceivably could
quickly cripple Axis resistance?
Hope was a powerful factor in
1913. Through the Ia Points IL
greatly contributed TO German
collapse. In the present war
there are the Atlantic Charter
and assurances against mass re-
prisals. But the renege on the ID
Points makes it doubly hard to
prove our sincerity this. time.

Dom DiMaggio Has RecoveredF From Serious Eye Aiment
Erroneous St. Louis Re. port Said He Had Lost
 Sight of One Eye

San Francisco, March 5---(UP)-- Information derived from the pub lie relations office at the patrol force headquarters on Treasure Island and Tom DiMaggio, business manager for the three baseball brothers, indicated today that Dom- mick DiMaggio, Boston Red Sox centerAeldey, had recovered from an eye ailment and returned to active duty as e Navy coxswain.
 The public relations office at the Ninth Naval District in St. Louis announced yesterday that DiMaggio had lost the sight of his right eye and was under the care of coast guard specialists. But the state- ment from local headquarters, which also was the first inkling that the youngest of the famous baseball family was in the Navy and not the coast guard, said that Dominick had been hospitall2ed for several weeks with eye trouble from which he had completely recovered.
 Active Duty
 Tom said he had seen Dom "re- gently" and that he understood the Red Sox star was again on active duty.
 He told mo he'd been in the hos pital for Q couple of Weks, but I'm sure he's on active duty now" Tom said. Hes had trouble with his eyes for c couple of years but they must be all right now or he wouldn't Do in the Navy"
 When asked about a possible dis charge because of the eye difficulty, Dom was quoted: "f would prefer to remain in service for the dura. ton of the war with one eye than to play baseball with two"
 Although forced to wear glasses throughout his diamond career, Dominic developed into one of the games most skillful centerAelders He never matched the slugglng fGats of his brother Joe, the New York Yankee star now in the Army, however

We have learned to beware those
who never stand on their own ac-

goats, who always have an alibi ready

We have learned that we can't solve

THE LESSON
By RUTH TAYLOR

Most people talk about the last
war as though nothing came out of
it. They forget that there was time
before the First World War, and that
that sanguinary struggle changed
their lives completely.
Debt, depression, new quarreIs in
place of old, broken lives, disjointed
relationships, these came out of that
war-but so did idealism, awakened
social conscience, a broadening Of
knowledge, of opportunity, a self-de-
termination Of individuals.
But the real benefit from the last
war was the lesson we have slowly
learned, and which it has taken this
war to bring home. AS a man sud
denly wakens to the meaning of what
