Selected Poem
sAGUENAy RIVER

SAGUENAx HkVEB (Elsie F. Sears in The Christian
 Science Monitor) Here where the ancient trail is long since overgrown. The river-rooted cliffs loom from the waters edge, Echoing the calls of ships that come, Tntruders in this granite silence. Far on the balsam-covered capes q sound of falling trees and the lean gray Of smoke Tell of the paths of men But only the mountain mist belongs, Soft on the wind-scarred shoulders; Only tho seq gull is not an alien here.

How Germans Erred

Unlike some German military and party
men, Field Marshal Karl Won Rundstedt enc
my ommander on the defunct Western front.
is willing to talk about the war and the causes
of Germanys downfall.
In his chateau prison the commander who
organized and directed the counter-thrust in
the Ardennes told interviewers that it would
have been successful if supplies had been
adequate and If reserves could have arrived
as quickly as General Patton moved up from
the SOUTH A significant admission, this ac-
lnowledgement that Patton's Third Army
achieved greater nobility than the best Of
Germany's forces Under Germany's best
strateeist moving in virtually an undefended
area.
Won Rundstedt makes two other significant
admissions. They are that Allied air power
was the prime factor in Germany's defeat
and that Germany would have invaded Eng
land in 1910 except that Experimental jabs"
showed German water transport and fleet pro-
lection inadequate.
For all their boosted thoroughness this
proves the German High Command, or Hitler
if he was responsible failed to think
through the strategy that could have brought
victory While they were ostensibly out to
defeat the hated bolshevists even before they
violated the treaty OF amity Won Ribbentrop
negotiated with Moscow, their secret purpose
was to conquer England, seize the British
fleet and turn it against the United States
before this nation could take hand in the
conflict With this purpose governing their war
program it is hard to see how the Germans
could proceed with the invasion of the Low
Countries and France, to get in position for
an expedition against England with made
quate transport and fleet support.
Looking back from the security of today
which finds Germany's military might de-
stroyed, it is possible to see that German
Army leaders, despite their skill in planning
and fighting wars, and Adolf Hitler, with mis-
intuition, were as capable of error as any
other group or individual ambitious to con-
quer the world.
