The sad ST. Louis Browns were in
the last act today OF one OF base
balls most doleful dramas. They
were the major league team that
couldn't stand success.
Always the poor country cous-
inS OF the American League,
they became the "one year won
ders" of 1914 by winning their
only pennant. Now, just about a
year from the time, they appar-
emily have given up on the l945
race by selling players to the two
hottest contenders TO succeed
them, Washington and Detroit.
The Tigers picked up pitcher
George Caster. who was their
most reliable relief pitcher in the
1914 campaign, while Washington
obtained keg legged outfielder
Mike Kreevich, the only regular
on the Brownie squad last year
who hit above 300.

AR FORCE PLAYS VITAL Rol- Esq,

The over-enthusiastic claims OF the

al counted considerably by what has oc-
Cured Ia the wars that rock the world.
This conclusion. which is now some
what general. should not cause us to over
look the vital contribution that the Air
Forces make TO a successful campaign. The
prospective knockout of the German Army
on he ground, in the battle along the
Rhine River. is the elimination of the CO.
operative action of our various units, in
Guiding many months of aerial softening
and tactical bombing.
4 spokesman for the Army Air Force
points olll that in the % days from Febru-
ay 4 through February %, the Army Air
Forse stared It's greatest aerial offensive,
dropping 1897 tons of bombs on Euro
pean targets.
Altogether, the Army Air Force flew
G6.577 sorties. involving the use of 100000
Tmer. which is equivalent to % infantry
divisions. or the sOrties, 25,273 were

Il does not require military expert to
understand the terrific destructive power

hat this rain Of explosives played an i'm

THE HONOR OF THE FAMILY

It's large world ard there are many
types OF people to make up the population
of the globe. For oddly we would call at
tention to the father in Indiana who killed
his son because he thought the youth had
disgraced the family name.
The youngster, it seems had been dis
charged twice by the merchant marine for
0verstayng his leave. The middle-aged
parent considered this reflection on the
family honor and shot the son, inflicting
mortal wound
Let's not get into discussion as to the
morality OF the killing. Few individuals
would consider that the father had any.
What interests us is the intensity of the
parent about the family honor. Regardless
of his stern and criminal deed the old man
had something.
How many families are there today
which give three boots about the family
money to uphold it? How many families
are there to become disgraced over the
shame that often accompanies the disrepu-
table conduct Of a member of the group?
Leaving the family alone, let's con-
slider individuals, How many do you know,
Including yourself, who are ready to make
definite and costly sacrifice for the sake
Of honor, as It may he understood by an

Every hour in the United States, there

"ANY HOUR NOW"

Gabriel Heater, in commenting Tues
day night on the news about fighting in
side Germany, remarked that the Nazi
armies, as organized units, are likely to
surrender at any hour now" He ex-
planned that there probably will be under
ground or guerilla warfare in Germany
after the collapse of her armies.
"Any hour now" appears to be an apt
expression about the fighting on the west
ernofront, with spearheads of Allied armies
advancing as fast as their supply lines will
Permit and with ring OF, steel and fire
tightening on 10000 German troops in
the Ruhr area.
German losses chiefly in prisoners of
war, have been so tremendous since D-Day,
she has left only comparatively small
forces to try to Halt the Allied advance.
Those forces have been cut up into seq
ments, which are being liquidated daily.
In the case of the American First Army, so
many prisoners had been captured on Sat
urday and Sunday, it had to slow up its
pace Monday to process prisoners that were
being sent to the rear
And German propagandists, with de-
eeat staring them in the face, are attempt
ing to keep the German people in line by
telling them false stories about "atroci-
les committed by American troops as
hey penetrate deeper and deeper into the
32aich. Tha.obitQt Of those tales is to stir UP
sthp hatred Of the German people to so
great pitch they Will prefer fighting to
*hs ebisserssa4azgather than calling on the
German higffocUmmand to surrender
