The girl struggled, trying to free

Then, suddenly, she gave a little
cry, looking up through the trees.
The horses had whirled around the
curve and faced the cataract;
through widespread branches Jim
caught a glimpse of the trail along
the ledge, above the precipice, a
trail he had never followed, never
even seen before.

anger and regret, he held the horses
steady and tried to follow her eyes.
At first, in the broad glare of the
sunlight on the high hills, he saw
nothing but the white spray of the
cataract and the mighty tree-trunks
that seemed to rise upward in SER
ried ranks, like an army. He could
not even hear voices above the roar
of the water, but he knew that Cut

He had glimpsed the steep side
of the precipice at last, and seen
what his sister had been watching.
Sherwin was standing beside cliff,

Small families, particularly find
that the average loaf of bread dries
rather quickly, and there are sew
eral slices within the week that are
regarded as unfit for sandwiches.

uses for such bread
Why not start on personal

It's duty to see that no fat goes
to waste. Here are quick tips:
Every bit of fat left from cooking
may be saved and used again un-
less it has scorched or is too strong
in flavor.
Keep any fat from scorching and
smoking. For once fat reaches
the smoking point, it gets rancid and
it doesn't taste good.

INSURANCE.:
Policy Loans Up

Rejecting increased emergency
needs resulting from the economic
dislocations following WI Day, life
insurance policy loans have risen
since the end Of the war, almost
doubling in the case Of some COM
panies over the record low point Of
1915. Advances averaged between
500 and 5000.
Despite the rise in new loans, how
ever, the debt position of policy-hold-
ers was far more favorable than in
1899, the amount outstanding at the
end of 1915 having been pared al
most 200 million dollars to about /
billion from the prewar years.
Whereas the ratio of loans to re-
serves stood at IS per cent in 1889,
it now is only S per cent.
h While cash surrender value pay
ments also rose moderately follow
ing w Day, the total of 240 million
dollars in 1915 compared with 1872
million in 1899.

VETS:
Surplus Goods

Disposal of surplus goods to vets
promised to be speeded up through
the formation of a special division
in the War Assets corporation to
handle the program and meet nu-
merous objections posed by past
practices.
Though the volume of surplus
goods for disposal will depend upon
the final determination of service
needs after rehabilitation, the Chi
cago regional Office of WAC was
quick to set up model procedure to
facilitate the movement of govern
ment material to CT. applicants.
Under the new system, any vet
desiring surplus goods will be given
a certificate to purchase whatever
material he wants, and WAC rep
resentative then will conduct him to
the department handling the item.
1t the product is not available, the
vet will then be notified when it
has been received, and he will be
permitted to make a purchase
under ceilings established by OPA.
Formerly, vets had complained
that ceiling prices were too high,
and that they had not been notified
of public sales to dealers on a bid
basis for unclaimed surplus ma
terial.

GERMANY:
Rural Elections

First free voting in Germany
since the Nazi rise to power in 1888,
elections held in the rural sections
of the American zone Of occupation
resulted in decided victory for the
liberal Social Democratic party,
which polled Ala per cent Of the
ballots.
In swinging to the Social Demo-
Gratis, the Germans passed up the
conservative Christian Democratic
Union of Catholics and Protestants,
which drew % per cent of the vote,
and the radical communists, who
polled about 8 per cent.
Lending credence to the Ameri-
can authorities warning that the
elections were largely determined
by personalities rather than basic
party principles was the defeat Of
the Christian Union. Seeking to
swing over the small landowners
vote, organization candidates as
serted that radical victory would
lead to subdivision of existing acre
age to accommodate refugees.

Resisting northern efforts to push

senators led by Misissippi's Theo-
dore G. Bilbo carried on a lengthy
filibuster against the measure in
their drive to talk it to death.
With all of the southern senators
save Pepper (Dem., Fla.) lined up
against the FEPC, one outdid the
other in holding forth against the
measure. Whereas Bilbo announced
his readiness to deliver a 30-day
speech, Eastland (Dem., Miss.)
threatened to outshine his colleague
by filibustering for two years.
In forming ranks to talk the FEPC
to death, the southern senators, re-
ferring to chamber members as

PEARL HARBOR:
Shorts Turn

In telling the Pearl Harbor inves-
tigating committee that the war de-
partment's withholding of intercept
ed Japanese messages prior to the
fatal attack on the naval base had
not permitted him to make adequate
preparations against assault, Maj.
Gen. Walter c. Short took the same
position as Admiral Kimmel.
Lashing the war department for
having made him the "scapegoat"
for the disaster, Short declared that
had he been furnished the gist of in
tercepted Japanese messages point
ing toward imminent war, he would
have girded his Hawaiian command
for an about alert. AS it was, he
said, he only ordered a watch
against sabotage and presumed 1t
was satisfactory since Chief Of Staff
Marshall had not countermanded
the step.
Discussing the intercepted enemy
message of December 6, indicating
a break in diplomatic relations, and
the concluding part of the dispatch
December z, specifying the exact
time for the rupture, Short assert
ed that had the war department sent
him the information promptly, he
would have had four hours in which
to prepare for an attack. A tele-
phone call to Hawaii would have
taken a few minutes, Short stated.

FARM PRICES:

Since the end Of World War II,
the prices of farm products have
shown a tendency to follow trend
similar to that which occurred after
the end of World War I, according
to the Alexander Hamilton institute.
When World War ] was drawing to
a close, prices first showed a mod
crate recession from the peak which
was reached during the wartime
rise, and then resumed their adj
vance.

GRAIN:
Big Demand

With the government planning to
export between 200 and 225 million
bushels of wheat during the first
half of 1915, and with livestock pro-
ducers and distillers scrambling for
grain to meet heavy feed and proc
essing needs, farmers were assured
strong and steady markets through
the year.
Because of the governments ex-
port program and feed and proc
essing needs, the nations supply of
wheat was expected to dip to around
200 million bushels by July /, with
some sources predicting even less.
With one to two months supply on
hand, many mills already are be-
ginning to feel the pinch, and dis
tillers have been forced to use
hulled oats for alcohol despite small
er gallonage per 100 bushels.
Though the department Of agri-
culture considered limiting the use
of wheat for feed, it repeatedly was
reluctant to act because of short
age of feed in the poultry produc-
ing New England states.

Seek to Curb
AGGRESSIVE War

Since I returned, the question
asked most often of me concerning
the Nuremberg trials is the very
same one the Germans asked me
before the trials began: 'Why don't
they shoot those rats and get it over
with" (To the Germans the pris-
oners are the men who led them to
bondage and defeat.)
And so have to repeat, YEARLY,
with the realization that most people
have missed the whole point Of the
trials, that the miserable prisoners
in the dock, despite the fact that
their names were once blaZoned
across the world as the arch
infamous of history, are uninnpor-
tant. That it is far more important
to convict in open court, through
due process Of law with all the volu-
minous evidence, the ideas for
which a Goering, or Keitel or a
Won Papen, or Schacht, stood,
than to convict the men themselves.
That Is the purpose Of the trials
which are dragging their slow,
democratic length across the pages
of current history: to convict the
prisoners as conspirators in the
planning and the carrying out Of ag-
gressive warfare; to establish IN
the law I'VE recognize that such
warfare Is illegal. y's
Many lawyers bubble over the
technicalities of the process but Il
think when this case is studied
in the perspective of history, it viii
be clear that the creation of the
precedent which it seeks to .estab-
lish is worth all the time and money
and effort which has been expended
upon it. The law makes precedents
as well as follows them. This prece-
dent, if established, will serve as the
foundation stone in a structure of
collective security, a structure we
cannot build as long as we are blind
to the evil of nations deeds,
which we accept as a crime when
they are done by the individual.
I reported in my first article from
Nuremberg that there was doubt
that certain of the prisoners could
be convicted, that the military lead
ers might escape on the slender
excuse that they merely obeyed or
