there is something in broader face,
flatter nose and higher cheekbones.

You would never guess, however

of Staff-from which post he re-
signed in the Smetona Putsch again
st the then Socialist Government.
Key Posts
The next ten years saw him as
Lithuanian Military Attache in Ber-
lin. Then diplomacy caught him
good and proper; he became in
quick succession Lithuanian Perma
nent Delegate to- the League of
Nations, then first Lithuanian Mi
mister in Warsaw, from which post
he was promoted to the most diff
fiSult of all, Minister in Berlin.
Right from the start he knew
that his task was almost hopeless.
Germany coveted the Memel ter
itorv: Russia all the Baltic, Skir-
pa had to keep keen eye on the
-aseless barter trade between Rib
bentrop and Molotov, in whose
thieves kitchen Lithuania frequently
changed hands.
No man knows better the pattern
of infiltration which has given So
Wet diplomacy such an evil reputa-
ton. He lived the story of Lithua-
MAS gradual infiltration, occupation
and then annexation, was present at
the last tragic conferences in his
own capital, and slipped out just
in time to evade deportation to 81

man was too insistent, and refuset
to lend his name to a German Pro

When Lithuania refused to rais'
an army to help Germany, Skirp;
was promptly imprisoned, internet
at Hotel Dresser, in Godesberg, OF
the Rhine-the same hotel wher'
Hitler negotiated with Chamberlain

BOWLING .
IN the C.W.v. Bowling League
on Sunday afternoons the Dunbar
Cafe boys climbed into first place
with their 81 point total. Joe's
Bar, Michic's Cafe, Omarlo Recrea-.
ton, and Trees Bar are right be-
hind with SO points each. Tony.
Lula of Joe's Bar hit nice 253
but his teammates failed to help
as they lost three games to Bills,
Cleaners.
The league will not bowl on East
er Sunday, April 9th. Instead, the
teams will bowl a double header on
! Saturday, March 29th, starting at
$50 Pm. This will also make up
for series that was missed ear
lier in the season.
BASKETBALL
THE st. George Seniors got back
on the winning track last week as.
they beat ST. Aloysius A -39-19.
The Intermediates registered two
victories in swamping ST. AIMS

CHICAGO
Our comment, several weeks ago,
about the windy city's bullshevick
; daily "Vilnis" brought blast of
hot air our way in the Feb. 28th
issue of their English section. They
labeled our stuff as the usual "Hit-
ler-Red- Smear. They reprinted our
material for their readers but 1T
is significant to note that they de-
leted the part in which we stated
that they would cry Fascist. And
they did cry Fascist" just as all
commies do when they are criticiz-
ed. 1t is also worth noting that
their brand of Americanism is bas-
ed on communist socialist" ideals
and fails to recognize the "demo-
cratic" ideals that have built this
nation into what it is. Uncle Joe
sure must love his Vilnis---- e
MOVIES
FOR the first day in many a
/ year we witnessed group of Lith-
uaniahs all together. We're speak,
ing of the Lithuanian movies that
were shown to packed house at
the Lith-- | mean Slovenian Hall
last Sunday. The movies were

Receiver Declares Wran. geII Industry Going

Col. Otto F. Ohlson, who was ap- pointed receiver of the Wrangel Sawm.ll by the District Court two weeks ago, is in Juneau today en- route to Anchorage where he will confer with army engineers on the future plans for the mill After his return from Anchorage, he will make his headquarters in Wran- gell
 When interviewed today, Col. Ohlson said that he sincerely hopes that r. V. Wagner, president, will La able to ref!nance and regain control of the property If MT. Wagner is successful, it will be pos sible to resume the production of green lumber within a week after the go-ahead signal. Logs are readily available in the vicinity of Wrangell and can be received with in 24 hours after being ordered
 Col Ohlson found the old mill in fair condition and with the in- stallation of more modern equip ment, production could be increas- ed He said that if an efficient manager is placed in charge, he thinks that the mill could be op- erated much more economically.
 Under terms of the contract be- tween the Alaska -Asiatic Corpora ton and the U S. Army Engineers, the latter have agreed to complete installation of dry-kiln equipment. This work could be completed in two and a half months.
 Col Ohlson said that in case MT. Wagner is unsuccessful in financ- ing the mill, efforts will be made to find a buyer for the property. This will take time as work has to be completed in regard to the priorities of the creditors, the au- diting of the books and receiving of claims.
 If MT. Wagner isn't successful in finding a buyer, the next step will be to arrange for receivership op- eration, which could be done in a comparatively short time.
