But over here there is a cross,
And over there another,
And lust beyond thousand more,
Alike as a twin brother.
Aye, rows of them; yes, miles Of
them,
And poppies blooming red.
How strange it is that I forgot
These sentinels of the dead.
How strange that forgot my cross,
So small, so straight, so white,
That sheltered me and guarded me
Each day and every night
While nature covered up the wounds,
The scars on earth and tree,
And hid from man the sacrilege
That. only God can see!
The greed, the hate, the broken
things,
Mans vengeance" wreaked on
Did Christ know this on Calvary;
Know this and place no ban?
No ban on those who would destroy
The things He held most dear
The right to live, the right to love,
The faith to conquer fear.
Oh, God, forgive the erring ones
Who make of war toy,
Who reap their harvest with sword
And build-but to destroy.
Blow, bugles, blow! My Armistice
is through,
And Life and Death and I have kept
our promised rendezvous!

Surplus Whisky Sold
To States al 81 a Quart
BY the Assoeiofed Press

A bargain sale of 100000 quarts OF
aged bourbon and rye whisky fol-
$500 ,O00-about 81 a quart-was an
nounced yesterday by the War As
sets Administration.
The buyers were eight States
which operate liquor sales as a mo-
nopoly. Before they can sell it, they
must rebottle and relabel the whis-
kies and pay about STA gallon
taxes.
WAA explained that the whisky
was intended for medical use over
seas by the armed services. 1t was
labeled bonded" and was tax ex-
empt.
Actually it is s6 proof. It must be
relabeled to show this and the
bonded" tag removed because any
liquor sold as bonded" whisky in
this country must be 100 proof.
The bonded" label was permis-
sible on the liquor originally, WAA
explained, because the whisky was
intended for overseas shipment.
due to these and other compli-
cations involved in disposal, WAA
was unable to offer the liquor to in
dividual dealers" the agency ex-
planned.
The whisky was allocated to States
nearest where the stock was on hand
Idaho, Montana, North Carolina,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia,
Washington and Wyoming.

Blow, bugles, blow-across q wind
swept plain. ..
I will arise with seeing eyes, take up
the march again.
For twenty years I've been at rest,
Beside q sun-kissed hill.
For twenty years the guns were mute
And all the world was still.
But now I have an Armistice,
Does that mean life and breath?
Or must I walk where dead men
walk
And only talk with death?
The ripened grain is in the shock,
The grapes are on the vine,
There's whisperings In the leafy
boughs
That stir my soul like wine.
No cursed trench or sickening stencil
Or screech of bursting shell.
No bayonet, all rad and wet,
Like something out Of hell.
No mustard gas, that must pass,
Or wheat fields red with blood;
No comrades In the trampled grass,
Face downward in the mud.
No nights Of watching, waiting
hating,
No days of pain and fear,
No filthy lice as big as mice,
No dead and dying here.
For trees grow on these hills again
Which once were raked with fire
And birds sing In these trees again
OF peace-and sweet desire.

Neighborhood Series
'0fSymph!onyConcerts
Lauded by DR.. Kinder

Warm praise for the series OF
neighborhood concerts by the Nat
ional Symphony Orchestra which are
being sponsored in high schools in
Washington and surrounding areas
came today from Dr. Hans Kinder
conductor of the orchestra and e. r
Finkenstaedt, president of the or
chestra association.
The first concert of the Series will
be held next Monday, at $3.50 pm. at
Roosevelt High School. Admission
will be by invitation from The Star.
The admission cards will be ready
within few days and will be distrib-
uted by Roosevelt and Coolidge High
schools, the Recreation Department,
Station WMAL and The Star.
Station WMAL will broadcast all
of the concerts.
Interested in Radio Phase.
DR.. Kinder expressed especial in
terest in the radio phase of the con-
certs, declaring:
Naturally we are all more than
happy with The Stars wonderful
idea of presenting the National
Symphony Orchestra to a radio
audience.
Il have always believed in the
invaluable assets of radio perform
ances. 1t is radio which has raised
the standard of appreciation of
great music throughout the Nation.
ITO participate in this distribu-
ton of great music, to meet with
tens of thousands of listeners in
stead of so many hundreds, is in
deed wonderful prospect. I am
looking forward to it with anticipa-
tion and enthusiasm.
Stresses Value Of Concerts.
aMr. Finkenstaedtt stressed the
value of the neighborhood concerts
in acquainting more Washington
iars with their orchestra.
The fine tradition of community
service is being maintained by The
Evening Star in presenting this
series of nine neighborhood con-
certs to be broadcast over WMAL,' -
he declared. THE National Sym
phony Orchestra and the association
are proud to share in this service
with The Evening Star
Fine music will be brought to all
parts of the city and a city-wide
broadcast of one hour will enable
many people to enjoy a concert who
otherwise could not do so.
''It is to be hoped that this series
of nine concerts will be increased in
the years to come to provide sym
phony music to many thousands
through the media of radio and
these in city tours. Constitution
Hall, where the National Symphony
generally plays, has a limited ca
pacity, but there is no limit to the
radio audience. We in the associa-
ton feel that pleasure will be
brought to thousands denied the
pleasure of hearing the National
Symphony play well known and new
works"

Miracle Needed

The price of food, shelter and cloth.
| ing. says Chester Bowles, former Office
of Price Administration chief and pres
ent economic stabilizer, can be held
at their present level under President
Truman's new wage-price policy.
Mr.. Bowles is an earnest soul, with
strong convictions and deep faith in
runaway initiation, despite signs to the
contrary, and because initiation would
be disastrous it is to be hoped that he
has. But with small production on the
one hand and all but unlimited cash in
peoples pockets on the other it looks
as if he is expecting the impossible.
Wisely enough he qualities his fore
cast with the stipulation that coopera-
ton of the whole nation will be neces-
sary if the Elysium he emissions is to
be unfolded throughout the land. If he
is to secure the cooperation of the peo-
pie he must first bring the production
of consumer goods not merely up to
but above normal, because of the great
ly increased spending power of the
populace.
Perhaps he has inside information on
the end of strikes which are interfering
so grievously with production. If this
is true and if it were possible for the
wheels of industry generally to start
turning Immediately to pour out ca
pacity output, then we might indeed
escape serious initiation. But with new
strikes coming as fast, or possibly fast
er, than old ones are settled, it would
appear that Mr. Bowles may reach his
objective only through the beneficent
intervention of a miracle.
It would not be inappropriate there
fore to pray for a miracle.

Widen The Breach

The United States and Britain are
treating Russians as infants" says
Joseph E. Davies, former United States
Ambassador to Moscow, in defending
the Reds in their attempt to learn what
they can about the secret know-how of
atomic bomb manufacture through spy
ing.
He invites the question if the Unit
ed States and Britain would have tried
so sedulously to guard the bomb secret
if the Russians had not behaved like
overgrown infants since the war ended.
Would the suspicion of Russian pur-
poses that has grown up in Washington
and London have reached it's present
level if Moscow's ENJOYS to all inter-
national meetings had displayed a
greater willingness to act in harmony
with Russia's chief war allies?
We believe not.
Having acquired unaccustomed DOW
er as result OF American and British
aid in her war program, the Russians
have lost no opportunity to seek domi-
nant, not parallel, position in world
affairs.
Perhaps Mr.. Davies is right in say
ing they are within their moral rights
to acquire bomb knowledge by military
espionage, but the fact that thew have
done so, coupled with their attitude in
general, is not calculated to encourage
the entente cordial upon which world
peace must largely depend.
On the contrary, it is bound to in
crease British and American suspicion
and widen the breach among the inter-
ested capitals.

There're few things that disturb

ested.
This isn't due to any belated
caNousness or Indifference. l have
simply decided it's injurious to
tranquil living to become too much
upset over this problem and that
dilemma. Things have way of
working themselves out provided
you don't introduce too many of

There was a friend Of mine, for

Could There Possibly Be Something
We Men Don t See In Women Hats?

first to take a firm hold upon my
self and then try to proceed calmly
with what the boys upstairs call my
beef.
Yesterday I was sitting in a res
taurant getting ready to enjoy a
good meal. Just when the first
shrimp in the cocktail was being
prepared for a savory mastication,
in walks lady with face whose
contours reminded me for all the
world of a full moon in late Octo-
Der. She was one of these dumpy
little creatures who'd obviously
given a great deal more time to
the raiment she squeezed her full
some frame into than to the frame
itself. Because the frame was
fashioned somewhat after one of
these humpty- dumpty dolls which,
if you push them over, will plop
back on what passes for their feet
they are so roly-poly built.
Well, really, 1 didn't give the
frame anything other than a pas
sing thought, I've seen too many of
the type rugged out in Stacks. (And
why do some ladies, when they al
low themselves to get far beyond
the svelte figure stage, insist upon
wearing Stacks, no camouflage at
all for the bulges that inevitably
follow too much preoccupation with
the dinner table?)
Well, this lady had an affair
fastened to the forepart of her
head that supposed had been sold
her for perfectly good money and
which some imaginative milliner
had told her was a hat.
1t could not have been a hat,
unless the nightmares somebody
like Dali dreams up can be called
hats. 1t was little round affair
with the circumference and depth
of an individual chicken pot pie.
Factly, a chicken pot pie would
have been far more attractive be-
cause it would have had the added
appeal of usefulness.

at so precarious an angle that.

her soup at any moment.
Now, I'm not going to mention
the hundreds and thousands of
other such millinery 1 have noted
here because to do so would lust
invite another spell of high blood
pressure.
I simply want to direct one or
two or more questions to the
ladies': Why do you wear these
things? Is it because you all have
an entirely different standard of
beauty than we men, Or are we
men not privy to some esoteric and
subtle ideal of beauty which is
perfectly obvious to you ladies,
Or do you wear those darned
things just to have some wrought
up male like 1 am sit down and
ask such foolish questions as these?

Mckinney On
BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

Harold Karp of New York gave
me a couple of interesting freak
hands, one of which 1 will give you
today. Suppose you held the North
hand, your partner has opened the
bidding with one spade, and the
next hand bids two spades. You
know that, in all probability, you
can make seven hearts; but West
has already told his partner he has
no spades, so seven-heart con-
tract with a spade opening by East
would be down automatically.
Karp decided to try to get South
to bid hearts. When West bid three
clubs, he made cue-bid of four
clubs, and over South four spades
he used the Blackwood four no
trump overcall, South's response
of five diamonds showing one ace.
His hope that his partner held two
kings was fulfilled when South bid
six hearts. Karp really took the
bull by the horns when he bid seven
hearts, because it was very likely
that South would 60 to seven
spades.
There was little danger Of a
seven no trump bid by South, as
Karp had divulged that he held
no clubs and the opponents would
be sure to run that suit. South.
however, was somewhat Devil
dered, and although he held only
the heart deuce, he decided TO
pass. Regardless of Vests opening
lead, seven hearts was cold.
