Dean Wilbur

William Allen Wilbur was one of
the great schoolmen who teach not
learning so much as the way to live
His long career was characterized by
the same high idealism which dis
tinguished the famous medieval
mentors, Thomas Aquinas and Duns
Scotus. He worked to the end that
men and women should be gentle
not merely that they should have
command of an accumulation of
facts, however useful. What he
wanted was the refinement of hui
man existence to the point where
every individual would desire to be
tolerant and charitable.
And Dean Wilbur succeeded in his
purpose to degree rarely equaled
in his time. The half century of his
labors at Columbian University and
George Washington University was
fruitful of such achievement as
made him honorably proud. None
of his contemporaries was more
widely appreciated. His name was
synonymous with the institution to
which he belonged. He sponsored
much of its development, directed
much of it's expansion.
Meanwhile, Dean Wilbur likewise
gave generously of his talents to the
cause of religion in the community.
A leader among Baptist laymen, he
was noted especially for his prof.
cheney in the exposition of the
Scriptures. His own natural skill
with words gave him the power to
understand and to interpret con-
vincingly the basic philosophy of the
New Testament. The synoptic Cos
pels were his particular subject.
Probably it was from them that he
acquired the models for his own
inspirational writings. In any case,
he was master of language.
But Dean Wilbur will be remem-
bered not for his books, his admin
istrative service, his contribution to
the profession of education, his de-
votion to his church or his ministry
to youth so much as for the example
of graceful bearing and kindly man
ners which he set. He was as nearly
selfless as a person can be.

Reports from France of blackmarket
racketeering. involving thousands of
AWOL American soldiers, and even
high officers, are dismaying There were
previous reports from Italy and even
from North Africa, but the extent to
which these crimes have spread in
France is alarming.
l am not only concerned about this
from an Army viewpoint. bad as it is,
but as symptom affecting the future
OF our country. Racketeering is not con-
fined to the Army abroad. There is
frightful blackmarket here at home.
The circumstances here are less extern
uating. The underground movements
in Europe have conducted blackmarket
operations as a necessity of existence.
1t Is sabotage of our organiza ton.
wherever 1t occurs, and in our country
only tiny percentage of the operators
ever face the law. When they do, SEN
tences are negligible.
One cannot observe these things with
out asking fundamental questions These
excresences are expressions of self-will
and a self-centered individualism in
compatible with civilized community
The will of the individual to get on"
destroys every inhibition. even. even
tually, the inhibition against legal
crime.
The news about the AWOL soldiers
in France is associated in my mind with
Mr.. Wallaces testimony before the
Senate, which appeared in the same
newspaper.
Like Mr.. Wallace. believe it is
possible to make an economic order,
by a combination of Government activ-
ity and private enterprise, which would
remove from people unemployment and
therefore the largest element of fear.

ably have to bring up their infantry
divisions, and plenty of supplies, in
order to fight for a decision on the bor-
ders of Brandenburg and Pomerania.
They cannot do this rapidly if they
have to bypass the main transport
centers and go round by secondary or
circuitous routes. Thus the Germans
seek to gain time
The question remains. what use can
they make of this time?
II they had plenty of troops avail
able elsewhere, and a strong pool of re-
placements within the Reich itself, the
answer would be very simple But they
do not have these things. They prob
ably have lost already about one-quar-
ter of the field troops originally assigned
to the East Prussian-Polish area: say
80 divisions out of 100. This is of course
just an estimate but it is an estimate
which is not likely to be very far wrong,
taking into account the combat losses,
including more than 10000 prisoners;
the troops cut off in East Prussia and
the troops which are defending the
isolated rail center towns.
!. Therefore, having suffered heavy sac
rifices to gain time, we must still ask
ourselves whether the Germans can
justify these sacrifices by organizing
with the means available to them, a
deep and st1ong defense of the eastern
borders of Germany, either along the
frontier or at some location not too far
behind the frontier Such defense,
as experience has taught us, depends
on men more than it does on fortifica-
tions or naturally strong terrain. In
fact the terrain in Eastern Pomerania
and along the Brandenburg border is
not rich in natural defenses The Oder
itself is not a formidable barrier,
though it might be useful wet ditch"
in an active defensive situation
\
It boils down to this-where are the
Germans going to find more troops?
Good troops-not just Volksturm and
that sort of thing Troops capable of
carrying on mobile and vigorous de-
fense in fairly open country. Where
will they come from?
From the western front? That means
letting the Anglo American armies,
now poising for major offensive, drive
ahead. It may be that the German
high command must now choose
whether they will have the Russians
or the Western Allies get into Berlin
first.
1t is altogether possible that high
argument is raging in Berlin at this
very moment on that very subject.

This and That
BIZ Charles E. Trace,DeH.

DAY and night
I live in light"
This was the motto of a prominent
Washingtonian, whose name we are
present unable to divulge, until the
"brown-out" made it obsolete.
He slept with his lights on.
Every lamp in his bedroom was turned
on, and kept on while he snoozed
Eccentricity some might call 1t. but
common sense, said he. Now the need
to save electricity has ended it.
H*
He slept better.
The light gave him a sense of protec-
ton, Of warmth, of we'll being.
He said that no one who tried his
scheme would ever go back to sleeping
in the dark, if he could help it.
Ordinary sleeping, as he calls the nor
NAL method of sleeping with lights out,
is natural enough, but too natural, he
declares. That is, it seems too close to
extinction, at least to suit him.
There will be plenty of time to sleep
in the dark. Until lately he chose light,
and plenty of it.
The idea came to him through a mild
case of insomnia.
He turned and tossed on his bed, as
many better man had done, perplexed
with the problems of the world and
society. unconsciously worried by the
turmoil and strife of the human world.
In the dark he saw all the unpleasant
things clearer, and these were precisely
what he did not wish to see.
Who could blame him?
He wanted his prelude to sleep to be
free-from the troubles of the world. He
longed to just lie down and pass into
blessed inconsistencies.
So one night he left his lamps burn
ing, and when he woke up at last it was
to realize that he had done his best
sleeping since the war began.
Then his bedroom remained a blaze of
light.
There was reading lamp at the head
the room.
He was careful to keep any direct
light out of his eyes.
Normally he slept on his left side,
against the advice of some experts,
so called. He insists, and one may think
rightly, that the heart is no such deli
cate organ as these experts would have
him believe. A muscle which works day
and night as long as one lives is capable
of being slept on.
The lights soothe him, giving him the
mental satisfaction of being a child of
light rather than of darkness.
He is the same gentleman, let it be
whispered, who some years ago shocked
official Washington by speaking up for
closed windows at night
That was in the physical culture"
days which were then popular.
He would die without air, frie,
He said he would die with 1t.
Today eminent physicians ur
heresy. They call it "hypervent
and assert that open windows at IL. !.
help account for many of the colds
which plague Americans.
Sensible men, this person declares,
know when they are comfortable. And
a comfortable sleeper is the good sleeper.
He has no need to count sheep or do
any of the foolish things so many per-
sons have done to WOO slumber
All one had to do was close the win
dows and refrain from turning out the
lights. In those days Of death and de-
struction, when millions OF people were
afraid OF having lights this hardy gen.
tlemah went right ahead doing as he
pleased, hving-and sleeping with a
halo round his head. When peace comes
| he Is going to try It again.

Applauds Senator Wheeler

To the Editor of The Star:
There is today in the Congress of the
United States man who deserves the
wholehearted support of every Amer
lean. am speaking of Senator Wheeler,
who served notice on his critics recent

blackout of free speech and free dis
cussion In America.
The Senator's attack on the barbaric
slogan Of unconditional surrender" and
che activities of our accidental allies
in this war demonstrates a courage
which merits q special tribute from all
genuine Americans. rs.

more going to suggest white,
a red. and a light and dark
pink. The white is Baroness
Schroeder. Actually it opens
blush pink and fades to white.
This rates very high among the
worlds peonieS.
For a light pink try Georgiana
Shaylor; for dark pink Sarah
Bernhardt. The tips of the
petals are silver, it is fragrant
and unusually large IN size.
The red in this group is Mary

Show Winners
The late group contains
deep rOSe-red which does not
SHOW any stamens 1t is named
Felix CTousse. An unusually
large flower is the late white,
called EnchaRtreSse. This is a
famous show winner also. An
other Of the Crousse family be-
longs here too this time IL is
Albert Crousse, a soft shell pink
with narrow petals. For your
information, the third of this
family has the first name Of

Claire Dubois is a late deep
pink. The flower is globular IN
form with long incurVed petals.
It's color might almost be called
a Volet-roSe and the petals are
tipped silvery white. II re-
Scmbles the early variety Mon
