his colonial mansion AZ Los Angeles,
his fortune is 10 be distributed among
"a heirs-but his white widow is not
one OF them.
Anna Lowe Barnett fought long
and hard 10 share the wealth (once
estimated at between s. 100000 and
$1,000 0O0) left by Barnett when he
died in 1884 at 81 She lost one suit
after another, fighting all the way 10
the Supreme Court OF the United
States and now the last remnant of
her bond with the old Greek Indian
has passed into other hands.
After years Of litigation, Barnett's

executive OF pipe supply company.
Once valued at S250000, 1t brought

added 10 other Barnett assets for the
benefit OF those who, according TO
judicial opinion. are his legal relatives.
The courts counted out Anna
Lowe Barnett. They said she never
really was his wife although she went
through two marriage ceremonies
with him, taking him from the
squalor of a hut in Oklahoma to
life OF luxury in California.

Then the couple moved to Los

played the part of man of means,
too, by keeping his pockets stuffed
with Scent cigars. With nothing else

HirOhitO The Goat

It is pointed out that the Japanese war
lords move to place full responsibility for that
country's war policy and conduct Upon t h e
shrinking shoulders of Hirohito is in reality
scheme to ''crawl out from UNDER them
selves when surrender time arrives
They can now claim all that happens is on
his orders. and that they are merely obeying
the dictates of the emperor
From this viewpoint it is possible to think
with some semblence of accuracy that the
war party foresees the hopelessness of its
cause, as the German General Staff did for
months before the surrender, and hopes by this
move to gain some favor in the final collapse
The truth is that Hirohito gains no new pow
err He has never haa any. Complete DONNA

military not only from the beginning of the
war but throughout the long years of prepare
ton for war. The only difference is that the
blame can now oe shifted to his shoulders.
American forces leading the attack upon Japan
and its outposts. Heretofore the emperors pal
ace and person have not been targets for our
fliers. On the contrary effort has been made
to avoid bombing Hirohito's home. Bombs
which landed within his grounds were not d.
rected against him or his property
Now, since the Japanese have Of their own
volition made him the actual instead of the
fictitious war leader, there is no further rea-
son to avoid bombing his palace or killing him,

Flimsy Subterfuge

William Joyce the Lord Haw Haw OF Nazi
in Brooklyn and for this reason the indictment
which charges him with British citizenship is
Incorrect.
Inasmuch as he claimed to be British
subject in twice applying for passports to
Germany it is obvious he seeks to escape
just punishment for treason by a flmsy
subterfuge.
Whether American or British his guilt is
indisputable. He spent his years in Hitler S
service reviling Great Britain and the United
States. He sold himself to the enemy for $50
q week. He fled to Germany only ten days
before hostilities started for this sole purpose.
Away with him.

jap Communications Hit

We all know the vital part American rail-
roads have had in Transporting war equipment,
munitions and supplies from factory to sea-
board and millions of fighting forces from
camp to point of embarkation. Without unin-
terrupted rail service this country would have
failed utterly in its war effort in Europe
and could not hope to have the leading part
in defeating Japan
suppose American rail communications had
been disrupted during the years of conflict
in Europe. Suppose enemy air fleets had
swooped down upon rail center, ripped tracks
to pieces, destroyed depots and freight ware
houses, so that neither men nor materials
could be moved on regular schedules and train
load after t~ainload of both men and materi
ais had benn wrecked with complete loss Of
loads, locomotives and passengers. Only de-
feat could have been the nations lot.
The destruction of Germany's railroads was
one of the most important factors in that
nations defeat When japanese official there
fore tells neutral diplomat in Europe that
Japans transportation is suffering as did Ger
many's it is fair to assume that American
bombing raids are accomplishing one OF the
prime reasons for making them
The worst thing we have to face now"
this highly connected Japanese official is cred
tied with telling diplomat in Stockholm, lis
thu bombing of our railroad communications
which gradually is assuming the same devas-
tating proportions as in Germany.
AS yet the bombing of Japan is in the earliest
stage. When thousand Superfortresses are
raining their bombs upon the home island daily
as it is said they will be doing shortly, the
Japanese will have little chance to maintain
any type of communication and service of
supply.

larger souls, that we may be pre-
pared for whatever Thou art pre-.
pairing for us, after the lessons Of
this war have been learned. May
we learn to think realistically Of
the great changes that are coming,
to our individual lives and to all

age to accept the end of the old
order to exploitation and greed and
injustice and class and race dlvl-

tons of life as a whole, and OF
personal duty. Prepare our hearts
for the sacrifices that await u.s.
Make US willing to pay the price OF
new liberty, brotherhood and de-
mocracy for all peoples every

have so often treated our fellow
men as mere sources Of income
and not as brothers, made IN Goos
