GERMANY:
A Repetition?

Any mention of rearming Ger
many makes cold chills run down
the backs of those who remember
how beaten, dismantled Reich
was permitted to come back and
plunge the world into the most dev-
astating conflict it had ever known.
THREE TIMES in the past 80
years, German war machines have
struck swiftly and ruthlessly at the
peace of the world. Had the Ger
manic hordeS ever won a world con-
flict, something of what the van
pushed might have expected is pro-
vided in the terms laid down by
these conquerors of the French in
1870, when German troops stayed on
French soil until every penny of
reparations demanded was paid.
How the individual may have
Jared under the Teuton heel was re-
voltingly demonstrated by Hitler
and his sadistic Nazis.
Now, all the great talk, the board
planning, the global thinking is
merging into one resembling chorus:
"Rearm Germany"
ooi1ilii6 tillS Silo1 10 "do 1eleIdl
Jacob L. Devers, retired chief of
US. army field forces, who said in
an address in Louisville, KY, that
western Germans Would like to
fight for US, under American Off
GERS, against the Russians" if war
should come, and he added "They
can fight like He'll"
NO ONE disputes that. But re-
cent history is too grim for such
proposals to be received with gen.
eral equaninity. Too many people
of the world will remember that it
was that very fear of possible Rus
sian attack which led France and
England to sit by with folded hands
while Hitler flouted the Versailles
treaty and served notice on the
world that he was going to rearm
Germany. ''Let him CO." seemed to
be the whispered desire, "he'Il
serve as an excellent buffer against
the Russians"
So Chamberlain went to Berches-
gaden with his folded umbrella and
came back hugging to his breast
the miserable pledge Of the Austrian
mailman Of peace in our time"
The world had a horrible taste of
that kind of peace" To rearm
Germany creates a fearful posi-
bility that the dose may be re-
peated.

CHINA:
Cry for Help

AS has been the case since the
dawn of history, it is the innocents
who seem to suffer most in intern
ecine strife. China is no exception.
In that country of vast population
and so frequently too little food.
many Chinese are starving. A nat
urally difficult struggle for exist
ence has been intensified by Chi
mas civil war in which the Com
munists emerged victorious.
NOW there is a cry for help. A
Chinese Nationalist group has ap-
pealed to American labor, as an
organization to help combat ia
mine in Communist China. But
with their usual skill in that de-
partment, the Reds have managed
to confuse world opinion on the sit
uation.
The Communist regime has done
good job of beclouding what al
most all non-Communist sources
say is one of the worst famines in
China's history. The Reds have ad-
mitted that the situation is critical,
saying some 16 million people were
affected. Private letters filtering
from Red-held China indicated the
number was SO million.
The Chinese Nationalist and
western relief agencies and re-
ligious organizations have been
seeking some means to help the
starving, hence the appeal to
American labor for help.
AN EASILY understandable OBJ
stacle, of course, was the uncer-
tainty as to final disposition of any
aid that might be forthcoming.
Some assurances would have to be
made that relief goods went to
those for whom supplies were in
tended. Who could give that as
surance? The Chinese Commu-
nistS?
Yes, there was a way. If the
Reds would agree to give safe
conduct to relief missions into the
area, perhaps the job of staving
off starvation by death for thou
sands might be successfully COM
pleted. But, barring some such
procedure, the outlook was dim in
deed.

COLD WAR;:
Heating Up

Russia had heated up the Cold
war.
A United States air force navy
Privateer had disappeared after
flight in which it was reported to
have flown over Russian territory.
The Russians claimed the plane had
fired upon a Russian aircraft, and
then had disappeared over the
Baltic sea.
A WIDESPREAD HUNT by Amer
lean officials was launched for the
missing plane. Erroneous reports
had it that life RATS from the plane
had been found. The first reported
RATS turned out to be only fishing
boxes.
But later, life raft was picked up
and air force officials indicated a
conviction it came from the missing
plane, which had 10 crew members
aboard. A British ship under COM
mand of Captain j. Henderson re-
ported finding the raft and said it
was partly collapsed. The air-supply
bottle was exhausted and supply
pockets were open and empty.
There were no signs of life and
no messages were found.
Had the Soviets shot down the
plane, or so crippled it by gunfire
that it crashed in the Baltic? That
was the big question. Bigger yet
was the question: "What would the
United States do if it were developed
that the plane was victim of Rus
sian gunfire?
THOSE were questions that would
have to wait, however, until the an
swer to what had actually happened
to the plane had been cleared up
If it ever could be cleared up.
Meanwhile, American t m p S
grew little shorter with Russian
tactics and there was no denying
that the Cold War had taken on
degree or so more heat.

Use of Candles

During World War II candles
were used for temporary light, to
warm emergency food rations, and
when melted, to stop tent leaks.
Coach-and-carriage candles were
once used in carriage lamps. To-
day they are used by diaries as a
mild and oderless source of heat in
milk wagons. They prevent milk
and eggs from freezing during de-
livery in winter months.

way through the forest. As for not
finding the bones "they probably
just dug in the wrong place" ex-
plains the practical lady. Now for
her second story.
The Ghost of Little Nell
This story was told by the first
Washington Bowie Chichester to
the late Mrs. Mary S. Bowie: "Set
back from the road on the right
as you Travelled the old highway
between Brookeville and Rockville
was the Hall place, fine old house
built in the early 1905. At the
time now referred to it was oc-
cupied by the Hon. Elisha John
Hall and his two daughters, Mary
Kate (Mrs. Janney) and Louisa
MRS. Nesbitt). Mr.. Chichester
who was a favorite with older peo-
pie always enjoyed a talk with
Mr.. Hall.
"One evening about shutdown,
but not yet dark, Mr.. Chichester
riding by saw Mr.. Hall alone on
his porch, so he turned his horse
in, dismounted and joined him for
chat. Happening to look around
he sawea child of about ten years
wearing an old fashioned long dress
slowly crossing the lawn at some
distance from the house. Who is
the little grip he asked.
After some hesitation, Mr.. Hall
said, Can you see herr? and after
further hesitation, it isn't a child,
it is a spirit In reply to fur
Their inquiry he said, the child
always follows the same path and
if anyone goes out to her she
vanishes. Sometimes she comes
often and sometimes she stays
away a long time. Because of her
old fashioned dress we call her
Little Nell. Dickens Old Curios-
ity Shop was probably a best seller
at the time) We are used to her
coming but would rather not talk
about it but when you saw
her it called for some explanation.
"Mr. Chichester claimed that he
saw her distinctly and watched her
until she disappeared"
And that is the end Of Little
Nell - but we kind of wonder if
the present owner of the old Hail
place, now Longwood School, ever
sees any ghosts around. This last
is our comment not that Of the good
Miss Bowie.)
