cples for lasting peace he embarked upon fourth term last November.
 His death came perhaps only a few weeks before the complete defeat of Germany, and he could have been sure of that outcome months ago. The strategy of the in the Pacific has been we'll planned and only few days ago came the announce ment of strategy for the final phase of that battle, to be conducted under the joint leadership of Gen Douglas Macarthur and Admiral Chester Nimitz.
 Unlike other political leaders, MT. Roosevelts career in politics marked with frequent splits with influential Democratic Party members-the late Al Smith Jim Farley and many others He the boss"
 While the loss to the nation is overwhelming, the death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt will not be disastrous Death is inevitable and the American form of government which is not designed to be centered in one will continue to function under President Harry s. Truman and under the Presidents to follow. Adjustments probably will be made, how ever for upon the broad Roosevelt shoulders sat enough responsibilities for dozen Presidents, and while Mir Roosevelt, in ill health proved that he could handle them very capable President Truman will find that he has large shoes to fill
 It will be long time before the people of this nation can say President Truman without stopping to wonder how strange the name, Truman sounds with the title, President Twelve years is long time

Young Soldiers
(Washington Post)

The present demand for repacements for infantry units expressed by the policy whereby the Army is to have the monopoly of the young nducees IS less the result of casualties than of original mscalculations the reorganization of infantry divisions Curously enough the proportion of actual infantry, i. e., of ordinary riflemen to other troops was underestimated In the old d-fashoned, doublestrength American Army division though it included artillery, engineers, signal men, sometimes cavalry, quartermaster, medical head quarters and provost troops, infantry was prepond- erant. But when the Army reorganized according to the European pattern much of this preponderance seems somehow to have been lost and the proportion of specialized or service troops much increased.
 The model which seems to have been generally followed in this reorganization that of the German army then still victorious and at the height of its prestige among professional soldiers However, the German war machine, wonderful it was had, like the now vanished Luftwaffe, fatal defect It was organized in anticipation Of BZkr1eg, that S of short and decisive war not for war of attrition.
 The present manpower muddle, as it affects both the Army and civilian industry, must be to some extent the consequence of such miscacuatons. There serious miscalcuations, for example, as to the type and quantity of the weapons and supplies that would be required, so that now have the curious analogy of simultaneously existing labor shortages and labor surpuses We shall feel the consequences of these mscalculatons throughout the rest of this tury, if not beyond it. The same administration myopia which makes it necessary to rush boys of l8 l9 and 20 to the front, without much regard to their talents capabilities possibilities of maximum usefulness also raises the question of how the present generation of scientists physicians, teachers and highly trained technologists is to be replaced
 But it raises an serious problem than that Since very few boys of this now married will marry and reproduce before they depart one predict vacuum of manpower about a generation hence more serious than any that confronts us now.

FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT

new era in American history and politics dawned on March f. 1883, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt entered the White House. Only the future will tell how great he was in the eyes of history This much is certain-as leader he gained more popular support than any other chief executive of the United States and there is doubt but what many of his policies will throughout the years to come.
 As the leader of the greatest nation in the world for almost 13 years he attained international promn ence that no other American has received. His death will be mourned throughout the world by the Allied Nations and our enemies will take heart Our enemies will find however that the United States is built not upon the leadership of one man.
 The early years of FDRs administration were years of gloomy economic depression and widespread unemployment backwash from chaotic Europe exhausted by World War L To Roosevelt they were the hopeful years of a new order which became known as the New Deal"; but they were also years of internecine strife in the Democratic organization, of quarrels with Big Business, of violent opposition to his startling attempted reorganization of the Supreme Court.
 They were years too, which saw the rise in Europe of totalitarian governments which crushed war in the Old World one which eventually engulfed the United States.
 Championing the of the forgotten man Roosevelt became the first to break the third term taboo when he defeated the late Wendell L. Willkie. And because the people than satisfied with his leadership of nation at war and his new prn-

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs ancline
 bat do not compel"
SATURDAY, APRIL IA

SATURDAY Y, APRIL l4
 Benefic aspects rule powerfully to- day. The stars inspire confidence and promise much that will bring rejoicing in the Spring.
 HEART AND HOME
 Women are under most fortunate planetary influences. It is pre-emin- ently date for love affairs and most promising for weddings. The evening is lucky for all social gather ings.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 As this decade ends there should be remarkable expansion in com merce, astrologers forecast. It has been predicted that 1947 would bring complete peace, but after war, re- adjustments will require many months. As 1945 is year of decis- ions, it will mark the beginning of great preparation.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Purists will feel concern regard ing the effects of the war on our language. While words from far corners will be brought home by soldiers, the seers prophecy new appreciation of the English langu- age.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Again fashion is to establish close relations between France and this country Paris will borrow from Hollywood and Americans will re- turn to once-famous shopping haunts. Elimination of mannish modes is prognosticated and dis tinctly feminine attire will be in vogue. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of enthusias- tic, profitable work. Concentration is s.urged, as there may be an inclina- tion to scatter energies.

Some Word CuriOs.

There is a class of words known
as heteronyms (HET-er- -NIMZ)

the fact that English is an alto

eronyms are words of the same
spelling but with different pro-
nunciation and meanings.
Here are few familiar heter-
onyms: SOW" a female hog, and
SOW to scatter seed; bow" the
front part of a boat, and bow" a
weapon for hurting arrows; re

Uncle Roy's Corner

Squirrels sometimes rob the nests
OF birds, eating either the eggs or
the young, and this fact may lead us
to ask:
Since they are enemies of birds.
should we look on squirrels as bad
animals from the human point of
view?"
In my opinion, the answer il
no"
In the first place, squirrel might
talk back to us, saying: You nu-
man beings also rob the nests of
birds! Take, for example, the birds
called chickens. How many mil
lions of their eggs do you steal
from nests each year? Also you
people eat all sorts of birds-chick-
ems. turkeys and so on. You wait
until they grow fairly large. but
that is only because you want to
have more meat to eat"
Secondly. there is a balance" in
nature. Animals of one kind are
killed by another kind, but it is sell
dom that a whole race" is killed
off. So far as birds are concerned,
their race is safe enough from the
/ attacks OF squirrels. Birds and
squirrels have been nesting in trees
for hundreds of centuries, but they
both still exist in vast numbers.
Often the parent birds are able
to drive away squirrels which come
to attack their nests. The squirrels
find it painful to be pecked or
scratched, so they beat a retreat. I"
Red-headed woodpeckers and gray
squirrels sometimes quarrel about
the nuts which they find lying
about. Many a time these wood
peckers have been seen giving blows
with their sharp bills to gray squir-
rels, and making the furry animals
run away.
Squirrels are in danger of losing
their lives from the attacks of some
! birds, chiefly hawks. Usually a
squirrel runs to the safety of his
nest when he is attacked by hawk.
If he is some distance away from
his nest, however, and is attacked
by a pair of hawks, he very likely
will lose his life.
Squirrels are interesting animals
to watch as they scamper about
the ground, Or as they climb trees
and leap from branch to branch.
