THESE DAYS

IN SEPT. l. 1899, Hitler in
~ vaded Poland and this war
began. On that day, addressing
the Reichstag. Hitler said;
II am asking of no German
man more than ! myself was
ready throughout four years at
any time To do. There will he
no hsrdships for Germans to
which l myself will not submit.
My whole life henceforth be-
longs more than ever to my
people. I am from now on just
first soldier of the German
Reich. I have once more put
on that coat that was the most
sacred and dear to me. I will
not take IL off again until VIC
tory II secured. or l will not
survive the outcome.

be under obligation to give to

gle with q stout heart there
was only one watchword for
that struggle: faith In this
people One word I have never
learned: that Is, surrender"
And look at Germany now!
CONTRAST Hitler's pride with
~ the words Of the British
prime minister. Neville Cham
berlain, who two days later
said:
This IL a sad day for all Of
us. and to none is IL sadder
than 20 me. Everything that !
have hoped for. everything that
I have believed I'm during my
public life, has crashed into
ruins. There is only one thing
left for me to do; that IL. tn

ers I have to forwarding the
victory Of the cause for which
We have to sacrifice so much.
I trust I may live to see
the day when Hitlerism has
been destroyed and q liberated

And look at Great Britain
now!

him what he considered the best

sides have found themselves
able TO move little nearer

MIR Farley said il was inspir-
ing the way America closed

dent Roosevelt.
The passing Of the president
was q national shock" he said,

THE Russian armies are firmly
IN the center Of Berlin and
the reduction Of all parts Of this
great city should be a matter OF
a few days.
Reports indicate that resist
ance within the city has been
made largely by hastily raised
civilian elements. and that the
reg u ar troops Of the Wehr-
macht are gone.
If this proves 10 be true, AS
the smoke of war clears from
over TINS proud CIty, we can
understand why Berlin was not
tenaciously defended TO the end.
II is sound military prin-
ciple that when a city cannot he
held, even though It be the capi-
tai of the state. the defending
army should withdraw. and not
suffer complete loss with the
surrender of the city.
This process of withdrawal
may have been proceeding ever
since the A erican armies
reached and crossed the Elbe
River. and the defense of Berlin
became hopeless.

enemys arm les in northeast

CRIPPLING diseases such as

leave persons IN a disabled state.
Not only are the movements
limited but the patients may
suffer from pain and spasm
which increase their inactivity
Various types of treatment

cises, physical training and heat
all have their place.
Recently, Or. Herman kabat
Of Minnesota has reported
some good results with The use
