Whether the war is going in your favor
or going against you, there's one thing it
does not stop, and that thing is politics.
Let's take a glance at the political
world while bombs burst, shells shrek and
battlefields are awash in blood. France is
writing under the German heel, and ma
turally you would think that Frenchmen be-
yond Hitler's reach would brush aside every
consideration except that which concerns
the crushing of the Germans and the re-es-
tablishment of the independence of France.
But what has happened, and is still
happening, between Generals Giraud and
De Gaulle, the French leaders in North At
RIGA One moment you are led to think that,
for their country's sake, they have settled
their political differences, but up pops
something that sets them at daggers' points
again.
Only few days ago, Giraud and De
Gaulle acted like a couple of sulky boys. A
luncheon was given with the object of bring
ing the two generals together and the hope
that it would be the means that would lead
to the settlement of their clashing political
views, which should be buried as purely sell
fish motives because of the PROSTATE condi-
ton of their country, but Giraud and De
Gaulle, sulky and sullen, refused to attend
the. luncheon. I
You hear of men lined up and shot in
Italy, Germany, Bulgaria, Holland, Bel
gium Norway, France, and the shooting
was resorted to in attempts to crush counter
political movements, aimed at either the Ma
zis or the Fascists, or at both. Hitler knows
and Mussolini knows that the seething UNI
rest in Europe has its source in politics de-
signed to overthrow their regimes.
And look at Washington today There
is even frequent talk there about fourth
term, and virtually every member of con-
gress who must run for denomination or
reelection next year is busy mending fences
back home Almost every day towns
throughout the country are visited by con-
gressmen, who would not have been seen
there had they not been making the rounds
for political purposes.
So from Washington we step into Key
West, and what do we find? The same po-
litical thunder that is reverberating
throughout the world.
Politics has made and has wrecked
countries since the time of the dawn man,
and presumably politics will continue to do
the same thing. Sometimes there are vicious
outcroppings of politics, as in the cases Of
Naziism and Fascism and always such types
of politics have ruined countries, as even
tually Germany and Italy will be reduced
to impotency.
False gods fall and crumble, if not to-
day, then tomorrow

Now Grand Gussie was dead.
Bert Renfrow wired Ann a week
ago and she had come as soon as
she could train a new girl to take
her place in the rate office. As
heiress to Terrence House she
would never need a clerks job

Ann paid the driver and sour
ried up onto the porch. She stared
at the brass knocker. Over it hung
