This Changing World
By Constantine Bro,Un

All oficial dispatches from Europe
prove conclusively that there is little
theoretical education we must hence
forth give the Germans in order to
establish peace in the world in accord
ance with the San Francisco plans. Ger
many and her people have been admin
istered practical lesson which Is far
more effective and efficient than any
indoctrination courses of good behavior
they might be taught from textbooks
or factual demonstrations. 1t is some
of the members of the United Nations
which have to learn more about peace
and justice If the agreements which 1t
is hoped will be signed at San Francisco
are to be more than pious hopes.
Unlike the World War situation, Ger
many Is completely crushed physically
and morally
When the Allies accepted the terms
of surrender on November IL. 1918, the
German commanding officers never sur
rendered their swords. The German
Armies, which had avoided capture by
timely armistice, returned to their bar
racks with unfurled flags. The popu-
lation, which had learned little about
the devastation of war; received their
heroes" with flowers and kisses.
X \
Today Germany is devastated coun-
try from the Rhine to the Russian
Polish border. Her armies are in prison
cages and SO are all >her generals who
have survived the most utter defeat in
f1icted on nation since the destruction
of Carthage. The monocled gentlemen
who formed the most upper crust of
Germanys life-the officers caste-have
not only been captured but also have
lost face with the people who for CEN
turtles considered them as supermen.
The myth of the extreme ability Of this
caste has likely disappeared forever
When the prisoners are released they,
will no longer find their homes intact.
They will have to search to locate the
remnants of their families in what used
to be prosperous and thriving towns.
Famine is staring the nation in the
face. There is no leadership to look
to anywhere in the Reich and the most
its people west of the Elbe can hope
for is that they might be allowed to
organize themselves into small and dis
connected areas and to be taken under
the wing of some of her former West
ern enemies.
The once ambitious Germans, who
had dreamed of world empire ever since
they became an integrated nation IN

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.-This is a
good moment to take note Of the prog
ress of the war in the Far East. Ran
COON and Davao have fallen, Borneo
has been invaded, and there are signs
that more rapid progress may be expect
ed on Okinawa.
The capture of Rangoon, together with
the important inland center of Prone
by the British 18th Army, marks the
virtual end of Japanese control OF
Burma The effectiveness of the British
amphibious operations which resulted
in the swift taking of the Burmese cap
ital is a good augury for the future.
AS for the immediate effect of the
fall of Rangoon the chief beneficiary
is likely to be China. With Rangoon
in Allies hands we shall be able to send
supplies direct by rail to Lashio at the
terminus of the old Burma road as
well as to Myitkyina at the end OF the
new link with the older highway. This
will enable much larger flow of sup
lies to reach the road termini.
~
Rangoon itself will be useful base
for operations against Moulnein which
is the terminus of the Japanese-butlt
Burma Siam railway. The lack Of Japa-
nese resistance at Rangoon should not
be taken as indicating any collapse of
Japanese morale. It is the just reward
of the mastery conduct of the campaign
by Gen. Slim.
It is, however, significant that the
Japanese do not appear to have made
any attempt to reinforce Rangoon or
if they have the attempt has been I'M
successful. The conclusion is inevitable
that either the Japanese are writing of
their more distant outposts as being
no longer worth reinforcing or that
their lines of communication have been
so effectively cut by Allied air and naval
power that they are unable to move
reinforcements into Burma even If they
SO desired. 1t seems likely that the later
consideration has more weight in the
present circumstances than the former.
The capture Of the town Of Davao by
American troops after an arduous march
across the mountains of Southern Min
danao is another notable accomplish
ment which reflects Japanese weakness
in their outpost positions. It should
not, of course, be accepted ss ending
the campaign In southern Mindanao as
the Japanese appear to have withdrawn
the bulk Of their forces to higher and
more defensible ground north Of the

De Valera Criticized

To the Editor of The Star:
In Thursdays news reports there is
statement to the effect that De Valera
extended sympathy to the Nazis on the
ally calling on the Nazi Minister in
Dublin.
This action of the Fascist minded
Prime Minister of Fire, I am sure, does
not express the feelings of the vast
majority of the warm-hearted Irish
people, who are noted for their chivalry
and hatred of cruelty and oppression.
rish-Americans and Irishmen every
where will deplore De Valera's action
in putting Ireland in a false light before
the civilized world.

Purple Bunners

Inc humble, sturdy, Old-faSh1Oned
purple lilac is part of national ira
dition. Brought to this country
about the middle of the seventeenth
century, it already had a long and
interesting history. It came from
Persia to Constantinople in the
twelfth or thirteenth century, and
travelled slowly across Europe to
England. In his Garden of Pleas
ante Flowers" written in 1929,
Parkinson called the purple lilac
"the blew pipe tree"
Over wide areas of our Nation it's
fragrant masses of bloom bring
cheer in the spring. It's green,
thick leaves hold their sheen through
the heat and drought of midsum-
mer. There are clumps of Syringa
vulgaris growing in stonewall-l lined
old cemeteries in New England; it
stands faithful guard over the
sacred spots where courageous pio-
neers lie sleeping across a continent.
AS home-seeking men and women
pushed over mountains, across rivers
and through shoulder-high prairie
grasses. they carried roots of the
lilac with them. No one knows the
complete record of the things moth
ers and wives tucked into the Cones
toga wagons and prairie schooners.
But because man does not live by
bread alone, we know that lilac,
peonies and favorite herbs blazed a
trail along the virgin paths to new
homes.
In Cornwall and Devon the maid
ems believe that dew from lilac bios
SONS will bring beauty to those who
battle their faces in it. Legends and
folklore have accumulated about it
in England's border country. In this
Nation it is shrub associated with
home-making and as a memorial to
those gone before. Unpretentious
and plain. it grows in gardens and
by the corners Of old cellar holes
deep in woods that have reclaimed
their own. Birds nest in its security
and small wild folk seek sanctuary
in the tangled dimness. The purple
lilac has been a good companion to
man as he has hewed a nation of
homes from a wilderness.

Cake Makeup
Advice Given

Cake makeup, launched by more
and more cosmetic houses and liked
by increasing numbers of users, does
a much better job of yelling a skin
beguilingly if you'll master the subt-
leties of application.
To learn what they are, you can't
go wrong following the advice of
Constance Luft HUM, who, as the
president of cosmetic concern, is
her own best guinea pig.
Her tip is to apply cake makeup
with an almost dripping sponge or
pad of cotton = spreading it in a
thin film ever laugh crinkles and
in thicker coating if circles under
ewes proclaim your need for sleep.
Blot up excess moisture, wait a few
minutes for the film todry, powder
your face, and there you are all set
with an experts technique of ap-
plication.
To strip, Mrs. Huhn advises the
use CT cleansing cream followed by
good scrub with mild soap and
water.

In the spring of 1942-six months
after Pearl Harbor-M-G-M pro-

The V-day dates, with the date

Beauty ParIor
Now Essential
HOSPITAL Unit
By RUTH MILLETT

Seeing that the women have
their hair clean and waved and
polish on their nails is one of the
most necessary parts Of mental
treatment" says an army colonel.
The officer is setting up a mental
hospital for WAVE, WAC and wom-
en- Marine patients, in which there
is to be a fully equipped beauty
salon.
Women have become SO dependent
on beauty parlors for building up
their egoes and lifting their spirits,
you sometimes wonder what women
did to meet the small crises of life
before every town had its share of
beauty parlors.
For the modern woman ruShes to
a beauty salon to talk hair dye or
get a facial or new hair-do the
minute she recognizes the unflat-
tering truth her mirror reflects.
1t is to the beauty parlor she
turns when her husband becomes
interested in pretty girl. or tinges
his compliments with sarcasm.
She goes to beauty parlor be-
fore she has the courage to apply
for job or ask for a raise.
And she wouldn't think of enter
ing hospital as aspatient without
first making certain she looks as
well as possible-no matter how aw-
full she feels.
Sc, no wonder beauty parlol
is important equipment in hos
pital for women mental patients
If perfectly normal women fine
