all sides, impregnable because it is in- tangible.
 The start toward victory will have to be made with the very young and the old: those who have not yet been poisoned by a fanatical philosophy of lies and hatreds ard national megalomania, and those who can remember when free German thought still existed. With those of Is to 35, there can be no hope of swift or easy conquest.
 The task of re-educating Germany to live peaceably in a world of tolerance, culture and progress is the work of generation. Even if the Allies could agree on a common definition of freedom and democracy, they could not police every school room in Germany to see that the teaching conformed to that definition
 It takes great hope and great courage to commence that helpful treatment. But there is no way to begin except by begin ming. Probably there will be little glory for the men who do it. Yet they are launching fateful experiment whose result may shape the course of European history in the next 50 years.

MT. Churchill's Shapka

Prime Minister Churchill wore new hat at the Cremea Conference. It was a becoming hat-a shapka, it was called made of black lambs wool. Though said to have been present from Cana dians, it was of Russian design. And 1t looked warm and comfortable, as well as handsome.
 Many Americans must have felt a tWinge of envy when they saw the pie ture of MT. Churchill wearing it. And 1t may have occurred to them, as it did to us, that hat reform in this country is long overdue There is plenty of fruitlesS agl- tation for more sensible mems business attire especially in summer-a sort or Four Freedoms, from coats, necktles, col lars, long sleeves.
 But the reformers seem to shy away from hats This is a pity, for mems hats are both impractical and unbeautl1ul. They blow off in the wind. They offer scant warmth in Wntertlme where warmth is needed. They afford little protection and less comfort in summer.
 And the monotony of style and color, There is no better material for bitter soliloquy on our regimented life than a parade of headgear on ones fellow men as they file along a city street-snap brim after snap brim, all snapped pre- cisely at the same angle; crown after crown, creased in conventional unl- formity.
 It's enough to make man start revolt. But, of course, no man Will. NO, he will cast a longing look at MT. Church ills shapka, a dashing, rakish hat that also keeps the ears warm and sits lightly on the brow. Then he will go forth as usual in the same old felt, still looking uncomfortable, unflattered and unim- aginative

Secret Weapons

Even the civilian thousands of miles from this wars battlefrOntS has reacted nervously to the train of scientific de- Struction that mans diabolical ingenuity has devised. Such hellish contrivances as the German VI and V2 have left him wondering what was coming next HIS apprehension may have been somewhat relieved if he read two recent dispatches from the American Seventh Army front. The first one had to do with the battle for a town called Neuf-Brisach.
 It seemed that chap named Vauban had developed a secret, unexpected de- fense for the Germans there. He didn't develop it especially for the Wehrmacht, however, because he had built it in 1699 And the idea was old stuff then. It con- sisted principally of a wall and moat with draWbridges But it worked. One gathered from the story that it was both ering the mechanized Americans about as much as the same sort of defense had bothered the archers and armored knights of old-and lot more than the famous dragons teeth of the Siegfried Line had bothered their comrades-in- arms to the north.
 The other story was of new secret weapon devised by an American lieuten- ant. It was slingshot made of two ln- ner tubes and a piece of canvas and It served beautifully to throw grenades into the German lines. David, of course, could have told the lieutenant that it's SerViceable weapon, even without the grenades. Reading this the nervous civilian might have concluded that If the war is getting back to meats and cata- pults it is, while no less terrible, at least on familiar ground.

The American public spends almost 50 per cent more on cigarettes than on electric service. According to figures published recently by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the gross revenues of the six largest cigarette manufacturers in the United States in 1943 totaled $1,553,032 000. During the same period the revenues received by all American electric utilities -privately-owned and publicly-owned-for residential and farm service totaled $1, 100000 000, or nearly half billion dollars less than the re- ceipts of the cigarette manufacturers.

Our Debt to Washington

Perhaps there are too many marble buStS and equestrian statues of George Washington. He has become too much of a name and an image to be revered impersonally and then forgotten except when he is occasionally quoted, without too much regard for literal accuracy on the subject of entangling alliances. Lin- coin seems likely to replace him as the great national hero - Lincoln, more human in his greatness and less remote an warmth as well as in time. And of WaShington's contemporaries, the brill Aant and versatile Jefferson has lately arisen to capture the public fancy. Wash lngton was neither brilliant nor of en- gazing personality. He was reserved and a trifle slow. But thought he may not inspire today's poets and playwrights, he was, from the Revolutions end to his death, the object of the greatest adula- tion ever accorded an American leader.
 It is worth remembering, in an era when dictatorship has been the world fashion, how wisely and modestly Wash fngton bore that adulation. It is worth remembering, too, how well he deserved At Washington faced the graVest prob neTnS that ever beset an American leader in war or peace. The nation which he led through it's longest war was nominally united, but really divided and impover- kshed and ungoverned. It's Congress was powerless to do more than advise the states. Is army was disprited, badly equipped, and at times faced with actual starvation.
 Washington had to divide his time be- tween rallying his forces to stay with him, planning and leading their cam paigns, and constantly begging and bludgeoning the state sto provide food and money to avert the total defeat which at times was only days or hours away. He had to contend with reasonable dis loyalty among his officers, and what are now known as fifth columnists among his countrymen. Victory emerged from these surroundings chiefly because of Wash angton's capacity for courage, resource fulness, compassion, steadfaStness and humility. His presidency was marked by the same qualities. There was nothing mercurial about his statesmanship-h was farmer by first choice, a soldier by second, and a statesman by necessity but it was molded by common sense, hard work and an unimpeachable code or ethics.
 These qualities passed into the fabric of his country and are still visible. They might be more so if we bothered to make Washington's reacquaintance. His Fare well Address is worth reading again for ats stately lucidity, sage wisdom and deep feeling The advice on foreign relations as only part of it. And that advice, placed in it's context and read against the background of 1796, becomes what it Is p-gound eXpediency for it's time and not Holy Writ Washington was too great to become a figure on pedestal and patron saint to be invoked by isolation ism. This would be good day to com pute once more our full debt to him.

A New Campaign At Aachen

Tn about month if present plans are not changed, Allied Military Government will reopen the grammar schools of Aachen. And thus will begin one of the wars most important campaigns, the re-education of Germany.
 The AMG officers are faced with Tremendous task. The schoolrooms of Aachen are to them what New Guinea was to General MacArthur or Gran to General EisenhoWer-th first step on the long, painful and endlessly difficult road that leads to extermnation of the Axis
 | Aachen will be only small beginning to test opposing strength and try the weapons of assault. Efforts are now be- ing made to choose teachers and text books, and already these efforts have brought samples of the trouble that lies ahead.
 Teachers had to join the Nazi party to hold their jobs. One difficulty in Aachen and elsewhere, will be to find redeemable teachers who became NaZis from expe- hiency and not conviction.
 Then there will be the problem of what to teach. Of course literature offers as many antidotes for NaZi poison as there are remedies in a volume of materia medica. But where in the free world of letters is start to be made? And what will best assure speedy assimilation and real start toward mental and spiritual health?
 Except for the absence of death and danger, the conquest of Nazi bigotry will 0e Infinitely harder than the conquest of 8sad arms. Opposition will be found on
