was driven into the lower deck Of

Bagging his fifth victory of the
season against two defeats, Sig

The Carter Leqend

There were few who could listen
to Oberlin M. Carter's plea for vim
dication of a crime which shattered
his brilliantly promising career
forty-f1ve years ago without being
moved by compassion for the man
himself If not by belief in his story
that he was the victim of tragic
miscarriage of justice.
In recent years, the sight of this
old man, impelled by some strange
driving force within himself won
adherents of those who were willing
to forget the cold facts in evidence
which brought about his disgrace
If he were really guilty, how could
he maintain over the years the effort
to clear his name? The answer may
be that regardless of everything else
he had convinced himself that he
was innocent. Having convinced
himself, the effort to convince others
became the one consuming passion
OF his life. And being a man with
q single purpose, he commanded and
received respect instead of ridicule.
With the passage Of time, the

Vexutious but Futile

Life is not easy in London just
now. Home Security Minister Her
bert Morrison last week urged those
mothers and their children still re-
naming in the metropolis to leave.
The robot bomb assault from over
the Channel, he said, lis a trying
attack and there is no point in
making light of it,"
But Mr.. Morrison did not content
himself with mere suggestion of
flight. He told the British public:
I'VE are tackling this new weapon
with all we know and all we have
got and we shall beat it." Mean
while, admittedly, "the strain
may get worse before it is finally
and completely removed" Psyche
logical tension under the conditions
of such "a siege is even more acute
than during the "blitz" of four years
ago. The flying bombs are mysteri-
Gus. Speeding through the sky
from unknown launching platforms
on the continent, they appear sud-
denly and without warning, explode
almost instantly after contact and
with tremendous violence, work
CHASTITY mischief wherever they
strike densely populated areas and
are as yet unstopped by ack-ack
barrage interference. The missiles
are gyroscoplcally controlled and are
jet-propelled. Americans recently
returned from visits to England
testify that they often are seen in
nose dives so perfectly executed as
to give the impression that they are
skilfully aimed at particular targets.
Mr.. Morrison, however, witnessed
to the fact that the Nazis miss at
least as often as they hit objectives
OF Importance. Yet he did not at
tempt to deny that the current
ordeal of Londoners and their neigh
bors of Southeast Britain is real
trouble" His words were addressed
to the enemy as we'll as to his own
country when he explained:
1t is one thing to endure bombing
attack when you know you are in the
last ditch as we were in 1910. It is
another thing when you have this
kind of cruel, utterly indiscriminate
and vexatious onslaught at a time
when it cannot possibly affect the
issue of the war and can have no
result but to create senseless damage
and suffering-and, of course, to
harden the mood of the people for
their dealings with Germany after
the war.

Hitler's Third Reich" today pre-
sents a tantalizing mystery. Her
metically sealed from the outer
world by a complete rupture of COM
municationS with It's neutral neigh
bors, the only news coming out of
Germany is that broadcast over it's
radio stations, which are, Of course,
entirely under the control of the
Nazi government, and this news,
therefore, is unreliable.
In default of more dependable in
formation, we are regaled with a
flood of rumor and conjecture.
largely from neutral listening
posts" These should likewise be
carefully scrutinized and heavily
discounted, especially since in the
past they have often been used by
German propaganda for planted"
effects. We cannot be sure that
wild tales of wholesale mutinies by
German troops and incipient civil
war are not deliberately staged by
DR.. Goebbels to give a false i'm
preston of incipient chaos. On the
other hand, it may be that the
Reich is really cracking and that
the war in Europe has entered it's
last stages.
With such wide gamut of posi-
ho &c Df
healthy Skepticism combined with
unrelenting efforts to wage the war
with redoubled energy in order to
take full advantage of German in
ternal weakness and dissension.
That such dissension and weakness
do, in fact, exist is uncontrovertible
The attempt on Hitler's life at his
own closely guarded headquarters
is proof positive that it was an
''inside job" involving highly placed
and seemingly reliable persons.
Likewise, the known list of indi-
viduals "purged" by Himmlers in
cludlng a man like Colonel General
Ludwig Beck, former chief of staff
of the ReichsWehr and an exalted
member of the old army officer
caste, indicates an open breach be-
tween the aristocratic JunkerS and
the Nazi leaders, whom the Junkers
have always despised. But the
question still remains how deep and
general the rift is and what the
consequences may be on the armed
services and on the general popu-
lation.
Apparently there has as yet been
no break in the morale of the Ger
man troops fighting on the Nor
mandy and Italian fronts. On the
other hand, the seeming inability of
/ the German armies IN the east to
halt the Russian offensive any
where and large-scale surrenders
there, including high officers, may
involve more than purely military
reasons. II so, it could be due to
the propaganda emanating long
from the Free Germany" Commit
tee organized in Moscow among dis
illusioned German war prisoners.
Confronted by such beWildering
uncertainties, analysis and forecast
should proceed cautiously, closely
watching developments and keeping
an open mind. That is the best way
of being prepared to take the quick
est advantage Of such opportunities

A Step Toword Peace,

"1he four-pOWer conversations on
postwar security which are to open
here early next month VIII be
prelude to a play, not the play itself.
That fact should be kept clear in the
public mind. Otherwise, failure of
the conferees to announce agree
ment on final peace plan may
result in feeling Of disappoint-
ment and Illustration which would
becloud the full-dress conference to
be held later.
When the delegates OF the United
States, Great Britain, Russia and
China meet at historic Dumbarton
Oaks in Georgetown, they will have
before them an American plan for
international cooperation to pre-
serve the peace of the world. AS
recently outlined by President
Roosevelt, this plan includes an
assembly Of all peace-minded ma
tlons and smaller council on which
the big four" would have perma-
nent seats and to which smaller
countries would be elected as tempo
rary members. The project calls for
the use of national armed forces
not a world police force-to put
down aggression.
1t should be kept in mind. how
ever, that this is an American plan,
not a scheme already agreed to by
the three other powers. Great Brit
ain, Russia and China may have
different plans of their own. Almost
certainly they will propose modifica-
tlons OF the United States project.
However, the agreement of the for
elgn ministers of the four powers at
Moscow last fall on the need for
postwar security organization offers
realistic hope that the schemes to be
advanced at Dumbarton Oaks will
follow parallel lines.
Inevitably a comparison arises be-
tween the present effort to insure a
peaceful world and that which was
made under the leadership of Wood
row Wilson after the last war.
Several factors offer hope of sue
cess this time. There is a deeper
atmosphere of realism. No one ex-
poets that this very sinful and self
ish world will become a Utopia
overnight. The possible necessitv of
using military force to put down
aggression - envisaged in Article
VIII of the League Covenant, but
shied away from by all the powers
is frankly recognized this time.
From the American domestic view
point, long series of conversations
among Secretary Hull and a bipar-
tisan group of eight Senators should
improve the chances OF Senate ac-
ceptance.
Unfortunately, this is campaign
year. 1t can be expected that the
tin-pan- ALLEY school Of politicians
and a small segment of the Ameri-
can press may capitalize on the
coming negotiations for their own
benefit. The only antidote to that
is well-informed public opinion.

The S1Vord of the. Spirit
By the Right Rev Msor. EdDard B. Jordan,
Vice Rector OF the Catholic Untpersttv OF America

The late Cardinal Hinsley, Arch
bishop Of Westminster, will long be
remembered by Englishmen OF all
faiths as leader who, during the
dark days Of the Battle OF Britain,
helped to sustain the courage Of his
countrymen by demonstrating to
them from Christian principles the
Righteousness Of the cause for which
they were fighting. As an aid to his
preaching, he organized a movement
which he called The Sword Of the
Spirit" q name suggested by the
seventeenth verse Of the sixth chapter
OF st. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians:
Take unto you the helmet of
salvation. and the sword of the
Spirit (Which is the word of Cod.
1t was the cardinals conviction
that ignorance and neglect of the
word OF God were responsible for the
horrors of war, and that the only
way a nation might hope to attain
victory over the forces of evil and
arrive at lasting peace was to have
its people return, contrite and hum
BILE, to the observance Of that word.
Apparently the English people were
waiting for just such a reminder, for
the movement took hold Immediately
and spread rapidly, not only In Eng
land, but overseas as well, particularly
among the armed forces of the Brit
ish Commonwealth. Moreover, 1t at
tracted the attention of many not of
the cardinals faith, who expressed
desire to share in its activities.
"The Sword Of the Spirit" pre-
scribes three concomitant duties:
Prayer, study and action. Prayer is
emphasized as essential not only in
the life Of the individual, but in the

Mr.. Kress' New Gift

Andrew w. Mellon never regarded
the National Gallery of Art as his
own project. From the first, he
visioned it as an institution Of cul-
tural and esthetic value to the world
at large. He contributed the build
ing and his personal collection of
pictures in the confident hope that
other Americans would wish to fol-
low his example. The invitation
promptly and generously was ac-
cepted by Samuel H. Kress OF New
York, connoisseur of very great
distinction, who ever since has been
faithful friend and collaboration of
the founders representatives. An
other proof of his interest was
announced last week.
The nine beautiful paintings which
Mr.. Kress has given on this occasion
are precious in themselves, as Miss
Leila Mechlin appraises them in The
Star today. Antoine Watteau's
italian Comedians" is an achieve
ment of the finest order. He painted
it when he was dying-at thirty
seven-and he put into it the whole
tremendous drama of his experience
as an artist and as man. The por-
trait by Jean Baptiste Greuze also is
a prize, signifying as it does the
rarest and noblest aspect of his
genius because, frankly, it is the
truest and the last theatrical. Jean
Honore Fragonard's three canvases
may be a trif1e more sophisticated,
but they are grand accessions sure
to be popular with a public which
appreciates meticulous craftsman
ship. Washington will be very happy
to have "The Visit to the Nursery"
and the companion Game" pieces.
The Wallace "Pompadour" is no
finer masterpiece of Francois
Boucher than his study of Madame
Bergeret, and his "Allegories" are
well worth having, too. Perhaps the
very richest composition ever exc
cuted by Francois Hubert Drouais is
his family group, already reproduced
in The Star. 1t is a tour de force of
patient yet valiant endeavor.
But Mr.. Kress has done more than
contribute nine magnificent addi-
tions to the treasures of the National
Gallery. He has filled in" a gap
which needed to be filled. The
pictures he has given are priceless
supplements. Each is a demonstra-
ton of the power of men to draw
accurately, to use color reverently,
to deal with their fellow creatures
honorably. AS an antidote to mod
erniSm with all its brutal cynicism
and all its cruel contempt for tech
nical fidelity, the whole group is a
medicine for the soul for which a
multitude will be grateful.

life Of the nation - well Study is
concerned primarily with the word Of
God-"The Sword Of the Spirit
but 1t Is not confined to the reading
of the Scriptures. It's aim is to ac-
quaint the members with the best
Christian thought of the ages on
moral and social questions and, par
ticularly, to familiarize them with
the works of contemporary Christian
writer's in the fields of economies,
sociology and politics. Action, as the
term implies, requires that the men,
bers "be doers of the word, and not
hearers only" They are expected to
put into practice the Christian philos-
ophy of life which they have learned
from their study Of the word Of God
and from the exposition of that word
formulated by the fathers and doc
tors Of the church.
'The Sword of the Spirit" was in
augurated under the stress of war,
but its founder looked beyond the
emergency and envisioned a perma-
nent organization which would serve
the ends of peace as we'll. AS it
grows from day to day, it gives every
indication Of making lasting con-
tribution to the revival of genuine
Christian living in England and in
the British Commonwealth. May we
not express the hope that other ma
tions, too, and our own America
among the first, will follow the car

true that there is no longer any danger
OF our losing the war. But before we
have finally won it we must still do
