In dealings with former German
war prisoners, DR.. Walsh has added
new experiences to his field of ac-
tivities in Germany. He has been
there since last August and in his
communication received here, init
mated he may be able to return
home shortly-maybe this week.
As one who has lectured for years
on the opposing theories OF Ameri-
can democracy and, communism, he
had turned his attentions directly
to Nazism soon after Hitler came
into power Knowing that coming
events cast their shadows before
them" DR.. Walsh had concentrated
on the political activities of both
Russia. and Germany in the last
few years of his public lecture
course in Constitution Hall.
Second Talk to Prisoners.
His talk before the convention OF
returned German war prisoners to-
day is his second. On June / he
told them they are now in a posi-
ton ito demonstrate the ability OF
the German people to serve civiliza-
ton and mankind by patient, reso-
lutte and intelligent advocacy of a
stabilized and workable democ-
racy."
But" he cautioned, democracy
cannot be imposed by fiat from
above; it must grow from the roots
OF persuasion"
German democracy, he pointed
out, cannot at this time be adapted
to every detail of the American
system, built up over a century and
half and strengthened by the Bill
Of Rights and other constitutional
amendments. On the other hand
he argued, the German theory OF
democracy should be made now
comfortable to the racial qualities
the historic traditions, the psychol-
ogy and the local circumstances OF
the German people"
From his observance of the ac-
tons of leaders among the returned
war prisoners, the Georgetown edu-
Gator wrote, he was impressed by
tIAC 1dCb Glldb JllC cuuCdGlOll L1ey
had received in American prison
camps was bearing good fruit.
In Government Posts.
Thousands who became honestly
convinced of their obligation to
assist directly in the reconstruction
Of Germany, but along far different
lines from the principles and prac-
tees Of the Nazis," he wrote, "have
now returned and are finding their
place in the daily life of their
country.
Many are being utilized in local
German government Offices, others
are returning to their previous pro-
fession and one was recently elected
by his fellow members of the faculty
to the post of president of the
University at Frankfort"
The Georgetown educator, who
had a working knowledge of Ger
many before he left Washington
is now able to address meetings Of
Germans in their own language.

ANNAPOLIS, June 18.-The prose.

Its case against Chief Steward Wal
ter w. Rollins, colored, after the

testimony relating to the sex charges
against Rollins was submitted to the
court.
Cook Heard In Closed Court.
James r. Burts, cook, third class
was the witness heard in closed ses-

mony concerned statements made to
him by Curtis Carter, a stewards
mate, first class, who previously had
testified in closed court in connec-
ton with the sex charges against
: Rollins.
Contending that all facts should
be laid before the court, the defense
insisted that Burts should be heard
after the prosecution objected to the
admissibility of the cooks testi.
mony on the grounds that it wa.
irrelevant and improper.
Rollins has entered a plea of in.

ing, explosive and incendiary, from
an antiaircraft missile or guided
missile at an armored guided mis-
sile target. The shaped charge
would be sufficiently powerful to
penetrate armor and destroy the
warhead Of the target missile,
whether composed of atomic or
conventional explosives.
The second method, Col Simon
said, would be the projection of a
highspeed jet from fighter air
craft in lieu of the conventional
bullets or projectiles that World War
II pilots pumped into enemy aircraft
THE jet from shaped charge
is known at present to have an
initial velocity of about $4,000 feet
per second" he said. This velocity
is so high that it greatly ameliorates
the difficulties associated with de-
Election and greatly simplifies the
requirements for fire control pre-
dieting devices"
Testing Effectiveness.
Work is in progress at Aberdeen
to determine not only the range
but the effectiveness of such a
metallic jet, Col. Simon said.
These experiments and the re-
search necessary for rapid develop
ment will be given additional i'm
petus under the new research divi-
sion recently given general staff
status in the Army.
The United States and Great
Britain, the only nations now capable
Of producing atomic bombs, have
given top priority to the develop
ment of defensive measures against
them
1t Is well known that scientists
are considering the time when
atomic explosives will be inserted
in high velocity shells or guided
missiles. As these developments
progress, it was said, defensive re-
search must keep apace.
The principle of the new shape
charged missiles to defend against
weapons carrying an atomic explo-
sion is the same used by the British
in exploding German buzz" bombs
in midair, before they reach their
target.

Cotton Benefits More
People Than Any
Other One Crop

Cotton benefits more people than
any one crop in the world. If newly
discovered, cotton would be the
marvel of the age, states DR.. Henry
G. Bennett, Oklahoma A. & M. Col
lege.
1.-THE feed that we need just
doesn't exist. 1t won't exist this
time next year either unless we
grow it. The time has come when
we must consider growing cotton
primarily for seed, not letting the
statistical heaps of lint cotton Qarge-
ly accumulated low quality leavings
from any crops) brighten us out of
the cotton business-The Farmer
Stockman.
The more livestock we raise, the
more protein feed we need. Every
bale Of cotton represents approx
mately $50 pounds of cottonseed
meal, a feed that contains 41% pro-
tein.
One reason we are short of these
high protein feeds is because we
made a short cotton crop. The late
ness of the harvest is also having its
effect on the supply.
Not only cotton, but cottonseed
will be a good crop for several gen.
erations to come, so why should de-
featism be preached. Buy your seed
supply now-high termination seed
are scarce, the longer you wait to
purchase, the less likely you will
be to get good seed.
If you do not know the kind and
quantity of fertilizer to apply to
your soil, take samples from the
different fields, about a pound, and
mail to DR.. Rowland Cowart, State
College. He will analyze it and will
send you a report. The County
Agents office can furnish you boxes
to put soil samples in and will be
glad to mail them for you. Take
samples from the furrowslice, from
l to 6 inches deep. Do not take
sample when soil is too wet to pillow.
Try some hybrid seed corn this
year. Tenn. Is is one of the best for
our part of the state. There are 9TH
ers that have shown up well at the
experiment station, but a great many
of these are not on the market. "A
good supply of Tenn. Is is available.
1t will soon be time to plant Irish
potatoes. Try some of the Kathadin
variety. The Mississippi Experiment
Station finds this to be a mighty
fine potato. Has good flavor, is a
high producer and will keep in
storage much longer than Red
Triumphs.

Timber Industry Big
Business In Holmes

Area Forest Ranger j. D. Burns of
Grenada has announced the COM
pletion of a special report by the
Mississippi Forestry Commission
showing the total sawtimber and
cordwood volume, growth and drain
trends for the years 1895, 1910, and
1945 in the state.
Mr. Burns stated the report re-
vealed that Holmes county had cut
a total of 422, 765, 200 board feet saw
timber volume during the ten year
period and that having entered the
period in 1885 with a total standing
volume of sawtimber estimated at
698, 600, 600, the report showed that
678,481,428 estimated sawtimber vol
ume remained in the county as of
December 81, 1914.
Mr.. Burns also stated that the
value of the stumpage on the above
cut based at Sc per thousand board
feet amounted to $2,536, $4,000 and
that the manufactured value at $50
per thousand amounted to $780,
$4,000.
Some idea of the tremendous
Importance of forest products in our
daily lives may be gained from a
study of this report, said Mr. Burns.
when you consider" he continued
that $4,000 persons are employed
in the woods and wood using plants
in Mississippi and compute the man
days required to process the volume
of forest products which are turned
out in this county you will recognize
just how important these woods are
to us and how necessary it is that
we do something to promote better
timber management, forestry educa-
ton, and forest fire control.
Cordwood drain in the ten year
period in Holmes county totaled
1852, 1879 cords which, valued on a Sc
basis delivered would total $2,733,-

More than $736,000 is expected to
