u. ). Ideals Abroad

Red Cross workers can better In
terpret the ideals of America-lib-
erty and equal opportunity for all
men-to peoples of other countries
than can the fighting forces. Col.
Campbell C. Johnson, assistant to
Selective Service Director Hershey,
told Red Cross trainees for overseas
duty at American University yes
terday.
Col. johnson, the first colored
person to address Red Cross gradu-
ates, said that while military per-
sonnel is fighting to preserve these
democratic ideals, it can give very
little time to their Interpretation.
He said this becomes RESPONSE
bility for those civilians who trans
plant bit Of America to foreign
lands-the Red Gross.
Speaking before nearly 200 train
ees, including more than two dozen
colored girls in the steel-blue uni
form and white gloves, Col. johnson
said some cases had been reported
where unfortunate prejudices" were
carried over from civil life. How
ever. he added, Many Americans
have been deeply gratified by the
way the Red Cross has set I'D its
facilities throughout the world to
serve men in uniform without re-
gard to race, creed or color"
He also stressed the psychological
hazards to which servicemen are
subject, and said Red Cross aides
may help greatly by operating as
liaison between soldier and family
and by direct contact with the man
himself. Home problems quickly
add to the burden he has to carry
along with his GIL pick" Col. John
son said.
The audience recited the Red
Cross Articles of Faith. In unison
it said: I'VE believe that all chill
dren of this earth are brothers and
we shall not recognize any bar
rlers OF race, color, class or creed
to set them apart, one from the
other"

Il Feet Of Concrete
Penetrated by Newest
British 'BIockbuster'
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 14.-The Air Min
istry announced tonight that the
RAF has been breaking dams, sea
walls and submarine pens recently
with new-type 10000 pound earth
quake bomb which is described as
undoubtedly the most destructive
cir weapon ever used"
The big weapon combines great
penetrative power with a terrific
blast effect, the Air Ministry said,
adding that mo other bomb used
in this war, either by ourselves or
by the enemy, has had these two
advantages"
Even the old-type 12,OO0- pound
factory buster detonated on the
surface and destroyed its target by
the blast alone" the ministry OBJ
served.
Bigger Than Robots.
The blast of either one makes that
OF the Nazi flying bomb look like a
toy.
The new bomb is three times the
size of the original blockbusters, one
of which is known to have destroyed
at least 80 buildings during an
attack on Emden. That would mean
that under the same conditions the
"earthquaker" might f1atten up to
100 buildings.
Scientists estimate that its blast
damage covers an area of approx
mately 10000 square yards.
1t is streamlined SO that it will
penetrate into the earth even from
moderate attitudes. It carries a de-
layed-action fuse so that the bomb
does not explode until it is inside or
under its target. The head con-
tains the heaviest possible charge
OF a very powerful explosive"
U-Boat Pens Hit.
It's extraordinary penetrative
power was shown in recent attacks
on the submarine pens at Brest.
They were among the strongest
shelters ever builte by man, with
concrete roofs II feet thick.
-Four ,000-pounders hit the roof
and drilled their way right through
the concrete to explode inside" the
Air Ministry declared.
The new bombs also have been
used with great success in knocking
out formidable German long-range
weapon sites. One of them dropped
on hillside in France buried hun
dreds of flying bombs the Germans
had stored in limestone caves.
1t took only one to put the big
German battleship Tirpitz out of

poleon Bonaparte seized power and
established the first empire. When
he fell in 1915. the Bourbons came
back for a short time with the
Citizen King" Louis Philippe. but
he was succeeded by the Second
Republic which ended with the coup
d'etat of another Bonaparte and the
establishment Of the Third Empire.
1t fell in 1870 and was followed by
the Third Republic which ended in
the disaster Of 1910. Today there
are two Frances-Vichy France, the
stooge of Hitler. and Free France. a
government in exile.
Russia? The Romanoffs ruled in
1887 but their dynasty ended 13O
years later in the Bolshevik revolu-
ton. Since then it has been the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics
over which rules the strong hand Of
Joseph Stain, premier and dictator.
Germany? She was loose con-
federation of duchies, kingdoms and
principalities until Bismarck in 1870
welded them into an empire over
which the Hohenzollerns ruled un-
til 1918 when Kaiser Bill became
a fugitive in Holland. There was a
brief period of a republic, then the
despotic rule of one Adolf Schickel-
gruber.
In Austria the Hapsburgs ruled
longer than the Hohenzollerns in
Germany but they, too, lost their
crowns in 1913. Austria, also tried
a republican form of government,
then turned to a dictatorship and
eventually was swallowed UP by
the armed might of an Austrian pa
perhanger turned German.
In neither Asia nor Africa is there
a government which is "older," in
the sense of uninterrupted continu-
ity, than the United States. China
was an absolute monarchy until 1912
when a republic was set up. Since
then she has known civil war, in
ternal dissension and loss of much of
her territory to the Asiatic counter
part of the German war lords so
that she, too, for several years has
existed "half slave and half free"

attack on america Cave u. S. Its Anthem:
Star SpangIed Banner Written in 1914

On September IA, 1914, just 130
years ago, a young Georgetown
lawyer named Frances Scott Key
carved a place for himself in the
history Of our nation.
Key had kept sleepless vigil
throughout the night on the deck of
a small ship while the British bonn
barded Fort. McHenry in a futile
attempt to take Baltimore. The war
of 1912 was still on.
All the time he could hear the
crash and roar of British naval ar
tillery, he knew that the fort still
stood. But before dawn came a lull
in the fighting and Key grew
anxious. Grave thoughts came to
him. Had the Americans been I'm
able to withstand this terrible pun
ishment? Had the fort fallen? It's
fall would mean the end of Balti-
more - and another blow to the
Americans.
Key saw day break with the Stars
and Stripes still flying over Fort
McHenry. With unutterable joy and
gratitude he began jotting down
verses on the back of an old
envelope. Those verses, later tran

ed in 1889. But these gestures to-
ward more liberal form Of govern
ment proved to be hollow mock
cries when the Japanese war lords,
who dominate the emperor, like
their Prussian counterparts en-
barked upon a career Of attempted
world conquest. So they in Asia,
even as Germany in Europe, violent
ly changed" the governments OF
nearly a dozen countries-Korea
Manchuria. Thailand (Siam), Indo-
China, Assam, Burma, the Philip
pines and others in Malaysia and
Polynesia.
That there will be more changes
in all countries-European, Asiatic,
African-in the future is certainty.
What that future holds for them is
still an unsolved mystery. But be-
cause the Constitution of the "old-
est" government-the United States
of America-has "stood the test of
time" it may be the charter upon
which other nations may base their
new or revised forms of govern

changes go. So ours is virtually the
same government that it was 157
years ago. What other nation can
say the same?
Call the roll Of these nations in

well as our Allies-and see how
many can come near to matching

England? While it is true that no

autocracy. or, at best. an oigarchy.
1t was ruled by the few, the lords.
The people were not sovereign. Now
England, or rather. Great Britain,
is democracy. thanks to the first
reform bill in 1882 and the second in
1857 which established practical
household suffrage.
France? In 1887 the Bourbons still
ruled France. Then came the Revo-

Contrary to popular idea, Key
was not a prisoner on a British ship

for the release of war prisoner.

CEPTEMBER IT is Consti-
- tuition day and this year it
will have greater significance
for Americans than ever be-
fore in the century and a half
of their nations history. It
will have significance not only
for them but for millions Of
people of other nations as
well.
For it is entirely reasonable
to believe that by that date
they will be seeing the dawn
of q new day, that they can
look forward more confident
ly than they have during the
last four years to being freed
from the yoke of one of the
cruelest and most ruthless
oppressors in all human his
tory. By. then the words "es-
tablish Justice and secure
the Blessings of Liberty to
ourselves and our Posterity"
will be a shining beacon of
hope to all those who have
dwelt in the darkness of Nazi
domination and they, too, can
look forward to enjoying "life,
liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness."
This will be true because the Wig
or, the daring, the skill and the
lresourcefulness of a young nation
when thrown into the conflict will
have tipped the scales in favor of
freedom-loving men of all nations
and will be helping them along the
road to victory.
A young nation?
That is what many Europeans
have called us-"Young America"
and 'the infant United States"
AS matter of fact, ours is the
Oldest existing government of any

He had no thought CT publishing
the Jingles, or indeed, of the poem
ever going beyond his family
hearthside. But it so happened that
a young relative, Sarah Harriet
Butler, visiting the Moores that
Christmas, delightedly put a copy
in her diary, and read it to her
father, the Rev. David Butler, when
she returned to her home in Troy,
N. Y.
The minister sent it next year
to a newspaper, where it appeared
among the miscellany, Dec. %,
1923. The authors name was not
given. Other newspapers printed
the jingles. They ere placed on
Christmas giveaways of merchants.
They quickly became known all
over the country, to the embarrass-
ment of DR.. Moore, who feared to
have it known he was the author.
He considered it undignifed for a
man of his scholastic standing to
be the author of childrcn's jingles.
Also, at that time, Christmas mer-
riment of any kind was frowned
upon by religious zealots; and the
professor had to be mindful of his
position in the church..
Twenty-Five years later, when he
had finally acknowledged author
ship publicly, and "A Visit From st.
Nichols" was brought out in book
form under his name for the first !
