ually.'-Pope Plus XI to group of Belgian pill
grims in September, 1888.
Those magnifcently human words of the
Pontf should appeal to all peoples, all creeds, all
races in the free countries today.
At no time when the unhallowed, monstrous
Hitler and his fanatcal hordes have murdered
and tortured from two to four million Semites,
were help and sympathy more necessary for the
Jews of Europe
Echong the Roman Pontifs words, the
American Jewish conference has just submitted
to the state department fourpOint international
bill of rights" which greatly resembles the inter-
national civil rights measures that the Hearst
newspapers have been advocating for years.
THIS "bill of rights" which also will be laid
before representatives in Washington Of each
of the United Nations, is as follows:
I Full and complete protection of life, liberty,
i. freedom of worship and civil rights for the
inhabitants of all countries without distinction of
birth. nationality, language, race or religion.
= "UnequivOca equality of rights in law and in
L. fact for all the citizens of every country.
. THE inalienable right of all religious. ethnic
=. and cultural groups to maintain and foster
their respective group identities on the basis of
equality. 4
A "The establishment of appropriate and ade-
Il. quae national and international machinery to
secure the enforcement of these rights.
That is "internationalism' in the best, most
civilized and nonpotcal meaning Of the term.
Secretary Hull should give this his most i'm

discussion, it may be asked why have not the mil

THE great meeting of protest by all denomina-

Randall's Island, New York City, Sept. 10, should
be repeated in all cities throughout the country.
Let all non-Jews remember not only the words
of His Holiness quoted above but these words Of
another:
"nasmuch as We have done it unto the least
of these My brethren We have done il unto ME-"
In that tremendous sentence the Galilean is
talking directly to all prosecutors Of the Jews And
that is what His Holiness meant when he said
I'VE are Semites spiritually"

No deaths or injuries were re-
ported.
The combination of powerful wind
rain, hail and lightning apparently
struck first at Easton. then tore di-
rectly south through Trappe. which
was hardest hit, and on to Cam
bridge and BucktoWn.
Farmers throughout the section
reported that fields of tomatoes
some about ready to harvest, corn
and sweet potatoes were literally
wiped out by the wind and hail.
The cannery was wrecked at
Trappe. while a big Easton hard
ware store was unroofed and the
roof dropped on store next door
In Cambridge trees were damaged
extensively, about $50 telephones
knocked out overnight and electric
service suspended to several sections
of town for a time.
From Trappe, 10 miles south OF
Easton, came a report that hardly
a window in the little town of zoe
to 800 population was left whole

He Is now recovering at an evacua-

The hardest fighting was encoun-
tered while descending the southern
slope, where the Roman fortifica-
tions, built under the personal su-
pervision of julius Caesar, were
more elaborate and had been great
ly enlarged by the Germans. They
were so perfectly concealed that
tanks driven over them failed to
jar the interiors. Caesar had plan
ned the mountain stronghold
against attack from the south.
A company, emerging from the
forest with its tanks, was cut of
when the Germans knocked out the
tanks and turned one around to
begin firing on the Americans. The
remnants Of the company were re-
organized and found parts Of other
decimated units under command of
1t. Hubert Miller of Syracuse. N. Y.
The consolidated outfit advanced
over an open field after other units
had captured points protecting the
TANKS.
The fercest fighting of the three
days was waged around a series of
small natural caves in rock in the
midst of . mountain ash grove
where both forces. in plain sight,
showered each other with hand
grenades.

Delayed The Belleau Wood Of
the present war is represented in
the thicket and scrub growth COW
ering the 2,000-year-old Roman
fortifications on the slopes of Mont
Castro, where the Yanks and Ger
mans battled three days last week
with rifles and hand grenades for
points overlooking and controlling
the marshes and rolling wooded
country miles to the southwark.
Texans and Oklahomans now
have secured a high hilltop over
looking the bay-from whence the
invasion came. Atop the Roman
walls the Germans undoubtedly
watched the landing of the invasion
forces and every major move Of the
Allied troops Some of the bitterest
fighting of the war and also some
of the heaviest losses occurred in
this area.
The thickets are being cleared to-
day of .the German dead, in some

were moved down by machine guns.
In a tangle of second-growth trees,
crawling at night silently through
the brush. the troops were invisible
to each other.
Crack German paratroopers with
green camouf1age capes blended into
the foliage. The prisoners said their
orders were never to fire until the
Americans were within 10 yards. in
order to conserve their ammunition.
The hill ascent into the forest at
times was very steep, with waist
high ferns hiding sharp rocks. Ger
mans with machine pistols were
hidden in the treetops.
The successful assault on the
north slope of Mont Castra was led
by 1t. Col. Jacob w. Belke of Boon
vile, Mo. At the highest. point he
captured one of the Roman ruins,
the cementless walls still strong
after centuries. But beyond this
place he encountered mostly tunnels
and trenches, built by the Germans
themselves, honeycombing the noun

bushes:
