He was executed and spat upon by those who brief time before outdid one another in doing him honor. But he deserved to die and his death makes few people sorrow ful, for he himself has been re- sponsible for the deaths of thous- andS.
 However we must protest the manner of his death. The blood of our youth is not being poured out to set up a Justice" that would deny even one of the worlds great est criminals a fair trial. In his death the laWlessness of the mol was substituted for the tyranny ot | FaSciSm.
 How horrible may be the effect: | of this gang justice was evident in the same edition of press whicf carried the revolting pictures of the dead dictator.

Famous Dining Car In Which 1918 Armistice Was Signed, Later Moved To Berlin In 194O
Again Scene of French Surrender to Hitler in
 World War II

1918, the criminal pride of the Ger man empire succumbed, vanquished by the free peoples whom it hoped to enslave."
 The groomed and guarded din ir.g car never was moved for 9 years. Then Adolf Hitler comman- deered it as a setting for his hour of triumph and revenge.
 Again Scene of Surrender
 The car was rolled from it's shed to the exact spot where it had rested in 1918. To that spot, on June 21, 1940, the French returned as conquered soldiers.
 Hitler had reversed 1918 in every detail. He sat in the same chair F'och had occupied The same con- ference table was in the center of the car.
 This time the hosts were Nazi- dom's greatest figures. At the table sat Col. Gen. Wilhelm Keitel, con- mander in chief of German forces; Marshal Goering, then leader of the Luftwaffe; Grand Admiral Rae der, Col. Gen. Walther von Brauch- itsch: then Foreign Minister vor Ribbentrop and Rudolph Hess, last reported insane in his English prison.
 Four Frenchmen entered the car They were Vice Admiral Le Luc, Gen. Charles Huntzinger, Leon Noe and Gen. Bergeret of the French Air Force.
 Hitler met them with stiff Nag salute. Keitel read the preamble to Hitler's armistice terms. It wa! all over in 10 minutes. Hitler lef the car while German military band played Deutschel and Ube Alles, then the Horst Vessel sont the music of two wars.
 Hitler Moved Car to Berlin Hitler reportedly ordered tn Campiegne railroad car removed tt Berlin. The car vanished from 1t [ shed in the forest after the Franco German armistice meeting.
 Whether the old dining car sur vived the bombing of Berlin and i again in Allied hands could not b immediately learned. Some observers believed the ca } would turn up in time to be use in some phase of surrender negotia | tions. If it eventually is returne' France, rightful owner, it probabl | will be hauled once more to tn l end of the line" in the quiet flores I, Of Compiegne.

Enshrined in COmpeigne Forest After Climax of
 World War l

Paris, May 8.-(UP)-The last time Germany surrendered to AL lied powers, she sent four enlis- saries and a bugler through the Allies forward lines near the Com piegne Forest, 50 miles from Paris.
 It was almost 26 and half years ago, early in the morning of Nov. 8, 1918. The Germans carried white flag and moved through beams of searchlights following them in the darkness.
 Guns crashed and red glare of ex- ploding shells filled the sky when the enemy mission arrived at a rail- way siding deep in the forest.
 A wagons-lits dining car, No. 2419-D, was waiting there. Inside, Marshal Ferdinand Foch, Allied su- preme commander, raised a window shade and peered through the murky dawn. He saw the Germans.
 ''They are here" he said calmly.
 A few hours earlier, Foch had replied to Germany's first appeal for an armistice-an appeal that preceded the dispatching of emis- saries to discuss termS-by issuing this general order:
 Possibilities will cease on the whole front as from Nov II at II o'clock French time. The Allied troops will not, until further order, go beyond the line reached on that date and at that hour"
 Germans Enter Dining Car
 The Germans entered the dining car and stood facing the victors. Count von Obendorff, Matthias Erz- berger, Gen. von Winterfeldt and a German Marine, Capt. VanseloW, were stiff and silent.
 Waiting for them were Foch, his chief of staff, Gen. Maxim Weygand, two staff officers Maj. Riedinger and Capt. De Mierry, and two Brit ish admirals, Weymss and Hope.
 Foch, angry and stern. glanced up at the Germans and asked:
 What is the object of your visit?"
 Erzberger replied, We have come to receive the proposition of the Allied powers relative to the con- clusion of an armistice on sea, land and in the air, on all fronts
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-05-08

stop the hostilities this very day. Our armies are prey to anarchy. Bolshevism threatens them, and that bolshevism may gain ground over the whole of Germany and threaten France herself"
 Foch replied:
 T do not know in what state your armies are. I only know in what situation mine are. Not only can I not stop the offensive, but l am giving orders to continue it, with redoubled energy"
 Famous Car Enshrined
 After Versailles, France enshrin- ed the dining car which symbolized the crushing of Germany's armies. It was rolled a few feet from the forest clearing where it had stood the morning of Nov. 8, 1918, and a huge shed was built around 1t.
 In the clearing where Foch met the enemy, the French embedded on inscription: "On 11th of November,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-05-08

and in the colonies.
 T have no propositions to make to you" Foch said firmly.
 Obendorff spoke. We desire to find out what are the conditions under which the Allies would con- sent to an armistice."
 q have no conditions to make" 7" Foch replied.
 The Germans began a new ap- proach, but Foch interrupted. T am here to listen to you" he said, If you are asking for an ~armistice. If you are, I can let you know the conditions under which it can be ob- tained."
 Erzberger Appeals to Foch
 A few minutes later, Erzberger appealed to Foch to halt his offen- sive immediately in lieu of waiting 72 hours for Gernany's reply to AL lied surrender terms.
 ErZberger turned to Foch. For Gods safe, Monsieur Le Marechal,

blatantly secularistic one - then Federal monies which come from all of the people by way of taxes should be used for the benefit of all of the people. And so if Fed eral aid is to be given to education, it is wrong in principle to allocate it to public education alone. For that would exclude several millions of the children of the people from sharing in this aid, or it would force parents, in order to share in Federal funds, to send their chil- dren not to the school of their choice Gas they are guaranteed the right to do by the Constitution but to public schools only
 PUNISHING THE GUILTY
 The discussion is little untime- ly as to facts but it is very apropos as to principle. According to re- ports Hitler is dead Sometime ago a distinguished British clergyman suggested that he be killed on sight. and the Inquiring Photographer of the New York Daily News" began to ask people what they thought of the suggestion. It seems that unanimously they condemned it.
 They agreed, of course, that Hit Ter deserved death but they insist ed that he should have a trial. To deny him trial would make him a martyr, said one. It would lower ourselves to Hitler's level, said an- other. It would be a blot on Amer ican ideals and the ideals for which we are fighting; it would be a vio- lation of basic American justice and so on.
 WHAT PUNISHMENT?
 If the above is dependable sample it indicates that the Amer ican "man-in- the-street' can dis tinguish between being soft and being just. In the months ahead the leaders of the Allied nations will have many decisions to make on this point. The guilty must be punished. Justice demands this and so great are the crimes of some that the punishment must be ex- treme. However each should have his day, however brief, in court And justice, and not vengeance whether national or personal, must be the guiding principle in dealing with the defeated enemies.
 Thus We do not believe that the American people are willing to ac- cept the Hitlerean immortality sug- gested by Maj. George Fielding Eliot last week in the New York "Herald-Tribune."
 MT. Eliot proposes that wher there is clear evidence that an Am. erican prisoner of war has beer murdered or died of ill-treatmen the German town or city. be l ever so great, nearest to the plac, of his last confinement, will b. razed to the ground so that not ont structure in it shall be left with ; single stone upon another, and tha of the male inhabitants of the town beginning with the burgomaster councillors and other civil officials one man may be executed for ever, American prisoner who is done t death

Various Types Of Pneumonia

UP to a few years ago We had
only one or two kinds of pneumo-
MIA to deal with. There was, first,
plain, ordinary pneumonia, lobar
pneumonia, 50 called because it hit
all of one lobe of q lung, and
would hit a fellow like a load Of
bricks right in the midst Of good
health. Then there were the cases
Of broncho-pneumonia which fol-
lowed measles and scarlet fever
and bad colds. They affected
mostly children.
A number of observers described
a peculiar pneumonia called psita-
COSTS, and they found it was
spread by parrots. A parrot would
get snitfiy and have a running
nose and act very detected and the
owner would hover over it and the
next thing You knew the owner
would have the same thing. and it
usually developed into pneumonia.
This condition, which for a year
or two assumed epidemic proper
lions, was checked by stopping the
importation of parrots, at least
sick parrots, from foreign ports.
Then a new kind Of pneumonia
hove into the knowledge of medi-
cal men and it was called virus
pneumonia. 1T was a good deal
like parrot pneumonia. Comes the
connecting link with the report of
three doctors, L"ieutenants Levin
son and Gibbs, of the Army, and
DR.. BelrWood of Philadelphia,
that they have traced some cases
OF virus pneumonia to infection by
pigeons.
One patient was a man who kept
a flock of racing pigeons and over
half OF the flock had blood tests
which showed that they had once
had a form of virus pneumonia.
Several similar cases have been
reported since. In some instances,
the patient was the owner of a
pigeon flock, others lived in a
neighborhood where there we're
many pigeons and pigeon flocks.
Infection can take place from dust
blowing about over pigeon drop
pings, etc.
The disease may be very puz-
cling because it often does not re-
semble an ordinary pneumonia at
all. The patient may have moth
ing more than q persistent cough,

In many parts Of the country the original

In these days of strain, worry, uncertaintv
there is special temptation to the artificial and
pernicious relief of drugs. Though these barbi-

deceptive lift TO the spirits

like the hangover OF liquor; nothing that you can

indulgence there Is always pay-of, and il may

Increasing use of this drug of any sedativc

These are, of course, the extreme cases No
responsible physician would pretend that such
moderate use as a daily pill brings about any
such results. But how long does the use con

Sinbad, Coast Guards Famous Mascot, Hero Of Wars Best Dog Story

mascot of the Coast Guard cutter Campbell and one of the worlds most famous dogs, have been col Iected into a book "Sinbad of the Coast Guard" written by George F. Foley, Jr., Chief Specialist USCGR, which will be published this month of Dodd Mead and Company.
 Sinbad. who has served eight years aboard the Campbell, and is a legendary figure on the sev- en seas, is known around the world from Greenland . where he nearly caused an international incident, to Africa where he was the guest at the Sultan's Palace He was in Tokyo a few days after the signing of the terms by the Japanese.
 Probably the most decorated dog in the services, Sinbad held the rank of Chief Dog in the Coast Guard. Whenever he visits Ire land, the Belfast newspaper runs a notice in its columns. He stops traffic whenever he comes to New York and Boston and has even ap- peared on network radio pro- grams.
 The book tells the full story of Sinbad's exploits from the day he boarded the Campbell in 1887 un- til the heroic action by the cutter against the Nazi wolf pack when six U-boats were sent to the bot tom. Sinbad's part in this battle made him a national hero.
 The book also gives complete picture of life aboard a Coast Guard cutter in war and peace, for Sinbad is most at home when just one of the gang riding out a storm on the heaving deck of the Campbell. A salty dog, Sinbad de- tests the reputation for greatness he enjoys and prefers the bound ing main and the rigors of life at sea to any shore billet.
 The author, who is Chief of the Coast Guard Press Division in New York, was an attorney and writer before joining the Service. He is a contributor to many lead ing magazines and his stories have been distributed nationally by King Features Syndicate. A na- tive of Teaneck, New Jersey, he is the son of a distinguished editor and publisher, and is a member of a family of writers.
 The book is illustrated by George Gray, Coast Guard Con- bat Artist, and one of the nations leading muralists. He is listed in "Who's Who" as the country's leading historical muralist, and has painted over 500 canvases, most famous of which was the ''Uncle Sam" mural in Troy, New York and Pony Express" in St. Joseph, Missouri, which was un- yelled by Mrs. Franklin D. Roose- welt.
 Admiral Russell R. Waesche, USCG, Commandant of the Coast Guard, has written a foreword to the volume.
 In addition to the many authen- tic illustrations and a full color map of Sinbad's adventures, there is a glossary of nautical terms
