The measure provides that congressmen would have to forfeit their seats and that government employes -would be subject to dismissal for violations of the proposed law.

No self-respecting nation could accept any such type of government, save only when it should be forced to do so by the giant military lord of Germany.

Reading the historical story of the Polish people, their love for and devotion to the Poland of their fathers, one must reach the conclusion that such a "free" Poland as Wheeler proposes would be rejected with scorn by the Polish people. Possibly neither Wheeler nor Hitler understand the mad devotion of the Poles to their native land. One historian whose name I do not now recall gave the best of all word-pictures of that devotion in his story of a little Polish boy who was picked up by a Russian princess on a battlefield in Poland. That boy was the only thing of life found on the battlefield. Every living thing had been destroyed, even the vineyards and the trees.

The princess was so moved by the plight of the little boy, with his dark, appealing eyes, that she took him to her home, showering him with all kindness. But always the little boy pleaded with the princess to take him back to his old home in Poland. She would explain to him that his old home had been utterly destroyed; that he could not find a living soul among all the people he once knew. But still the boy pleaded, and on one occasion replied to the dismal picture of his old home place as follows: "Are they gone, all gone from the sunny hill, But the birds and the red deer roam o'er it still, And the waters leap and the fresh winds blow-Lady, dear lady, please let me go." Such is the love of all true Poles of this day for native land. It is a love which will not and cannot die.

God grant that in His own due time poor Poland may once again be free free to call another Paderewski to the helm of a real free Poland free to worship God in the Polish way, and not in the way of a Moslem Caliph or a Hitler army chief.

Fidd(lkf as -irriif-i. more than two years and no decree of heirship has been entered in Glass Would 'Wipe the probate of said estate; that thereof, which has been set for THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP SEA. When I was a little boy I often heard my elders say that this or that man was "between the devil and the deep blue sea." An elderly friend, explaining that saying, told me that it meant that the man to whom reference was made was right up against a dilemma with two horns. If he should gTab the horn on the right, then the devil would get him. If he should grab the horn on the left, then the deep sea would swallow him.

Looks like Devalera, the brave, talented patriot president of free Ireland is in just such a position. His friendship is ardently courted by England's Churchill and by Germany's Hitler. So far he has declined to take sides with either Churchill or Hitler. But today Devalera's situation is worse than it was yesterday, for last night some enemy dropped death-dealing bombs upon the homes of the Irish people, resulting in the death of several women and children. Were they German or English bombs? Definite identification of the bombs has not been established.

Immediately following the bombing renewed overtures were made to Ireland's president by England and Germany. Devalera fears both lovers. If he should go over to the side of Germany he must meet disaster at the hands of Churchill. If he should grant England's request for a naval base on any Irish coast, he must expect the wrath of Hitler to do to Ireland what that wrath has done to a dozen other small nations. Which horn of the dilemma will Devalera ultimately grasp? Only Devalera knows.

But he must know by this time that a choice must be made. No doubt the pleading of Hitler is soft and sweet to Irish ears, but its sweetness oozes when memory tells what Hitler did to other weak nations, following his promise of kindness. On the other hand memory of the olden days when Ireland was under the heel of England still rankles. My own best hope is that any course which Devalera may adopt the said deceased died seized in HE MEANT WHAT HE SAID By WILLIS THORNTON neanng nerein on the 11th day of January, 1941, at 10 o'clock M. fee of the following described real Germans Off Map' estate, to-wit: BACKES ESTATE Monday, Jin.

NOTICE TO CREDITORS The eighth anniversary of Hitler's assumption of power in Berlin is Jan. 23. This is not exactly a holiday for other countries, regardless of how the Germans may feel about it, but in view of what has happened since, it can scarcely be ignored. No other single event of the decade has cost the world so much.

When Hitler assumed the German chancellorship, few read the significance of the day. So astute an analyst as H. V. Kaltenborn wrote (New Republic, Feb. 15, 1933), "He is sworn to obey the Constitution and is likely to do so.

time for a Fascist coup d'etat is past the March 5 election will not give Adolf Hitler the opportunity to establish his long-heralded Drittes Reich." Many others, no less well informed, felt the same way. This was to be just another phase in the disorderly history of post-war Germany. i It was, unfortunately, six years before Europe began to take Adolf Hitler seriously. The world did not take him seriously when he said to a mass meeting shortly after becoming chancellor: "We want a break with what a rotten brand of democracy has produced and realize that all that is great can be produced only by the strength of individual personality and that all that is to be preserved must be entrusted again to ability and individual personality, while the parliamentary-democratic system must be fought." The average reader shrugged and added mentally, "in Germany." And he didn't care much what happened within Germany, especially since it had been teetering on the edge of going Communist anyway. So we all turned to our own domestic troubles, which were plenty.

Had Hitler confined himself to abolishing parliamentarian government within Germany, nobody would have cared much, except these Germans who still loved liberty (and there were some). But next came the effort to extend the HitJerian sway to Germans outside Germany; later the effort to extend; it to Czechs, Poles, Norwegians, Dutch, Belgians, French, and Danes. Thus the smallness, once again, of our complex world. An obscure and rather ridiculous-appearing politician comes to power in Germany in 1933, and at the end of 1940 nine nations grovel in the dust of conquest and a coral atoll in the far South Seas is shelled by a passing raider. So far echo the repercussions of that Jan.

23, 1933. Now at last we learn that when Hitler said, just after becoming chancellor, "the parliamentary-democratic system must be fought," he meant just that. hosts at a 1 o'clock duck dinner at their home Christmas day to the following guests: Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Kula and Dorothy Ann, Mr.

(SEAL) Death robbed Nebraska of a splendid citizen yesterday, when Hon. Charles J. Thielen fell to final sleep at his home in Humphrey. For a quarter century I had noted the way of that fine citizen, both in private and public life, and always it was a cleanly way. His record as an attorney was both able an ethical.

His record as a member of the Nebraska State Constitutional convention in 1920, and later as a state senator, representing the Columbus district, gave him high mark, as a lawmaker. But over and above all distinction he scored in affairs of state, he won my eternal gratitude and admiration because of the good part he played in promotion of the gospel of liberality among men. His life was a sermon a sermon upon the text of brotherhood a brotherhood never polluted by either racial or religious intolerance. Not only his home folks and home community have lost in the departure of Charles J. Thielen a prized friend and worker in the cause of humanity, but the loss is statewide.

"Use your rifle!" the pilot yelled. "Aim at the front of the cabin, the controls!" But Officer Starr was already aiming, and he began firing with meticulous care. Crack! Crack! They just had to stop that monoplane now before it could outdistance the government ship! "He's hit!" the pilot yelled.

"He's got to land!" There was no open field, no cleared spot. Obviously Girardeau was striving desperately. He did guide the crippled monoplane over huge boulders then all at once it struck the earth, bounced twice and finally halted tail up against thick yucca growths. The autogiro was settling right near it. Girardeau jumped from his plane and started running.

The moment the autogiro touched earth Wesley York leaped out in pursuit, carrying Officer Starr's gun. "HALT!" Wesley yelled. IRARDEAU shot back twice, ran on. The chase continued half a mile, each man dodging cacti, greasewood, rocks. All at once Wesley saw they had been running at an angle toward the spot where Ronnie landed, saw her unstrapping her chute to be free.

She saw them then and began shouting. Girardeau stopped abruptly behind a rock and shot back again and again, and Wes in turn dropped prone to resume shooting. Bailey's own daughter!" 22 He was god of all or starts. 23 Fine river mud. 25 Caterpillar hair.

yourself. Here's a plan that would have the U. S. government taking over the production of guns, planes, ships and so on for Great Britain. The ibig idea is to get the stuff built without, as the president puts it, worrying- about a lot of silly dollar signs.

Having ibuilt it, you get it overseas fast, and you cali it a loan, or a lease, or something similar, the general idea being that after the whole fuss is over you can sit down and figure out who gets paid for how much and with what. Anything like that is naturally going to give sarcastic opponents (of which the administration has a large collection in this Congress) a fine chance to cash in when somebody sends a few thousand well-used 'bombs back to you. This new congress ought to be worth watching, too, both while it talks about aki for Britain and while it does the other chores that are waiting for it. It'll be the first of all' third-term congresses, and the way it behaves will have a lot to do with the shape of the third term takes. On the surface, the president has lots of control over both branches of congress.

Nothing gets out of control easier, however, than a house of congress, BRITISH ISSUE CUTS ALL PARTY LINES It also happens that a thing like this aid-for-Britain program cuts right down the middle of a party lines that were ever drawn. For example: Senator Austin of Vermont is a good republican and a two handed partisan he goes along with the administration 'like a major on its (foreign policy. Contrariwise, take Senator Wheeler of Montana (and there are times when you'd win FDR's grat-itude if you did take him) a lifelong democrat, he will out-deal the new deal on most things, but he'll fight it to the death on anything that smells of gunpowder. So you never know. You could bet that congress will give the president about what he wants on foreign policy, but don't offer anything special in the way of odds.

For the only really safe prediction is that the oratory will ring up against the newly-repaired roof of the capitol int a very confused and confusing manner. Somewhere in this clamor the voice of democracy will make itself heard, as it always does, sooner or later. But until it does, no prediction about what it is finally going to say is very safe.

Inspector Starr grinned. "You two kids talk that out while the pilot and I take the prisoners in. Hell come right back for you. Ship won't hold all six of us." 'T'HEY watched the autogiro soar off like the weird mechanical bird it was, and when Wesley turned to Ronnie again he saw that she was still trembling and had slumped a bit as if tired. He put a comforting arm around her.

"That's the bomb sight." 'THE others Ronnie especially just looked on, enthralled. Lona and Girardeau had been handcuffed now. "The U. S. Secret Service owes you a new hat, Dr.

York," Starr went on. "You've lost yours. And there may be some points you and Miss Ronica want cleared up, eh?" "Y-yes!" Ronnie could barely mutter it, nodding. "Well," the officer looked with obvious respect at Ronnie and Wesley both, "to tell you the truth, Girardeau isn't French, and the Montoya girl isn't Mexican. Our federal under-cover force has been checking close for weeks, the Mexican government co operating.

He's German; she's some Asiatic mixup, probably part Japanese at least. And she was playing him for a sucker all along ha! She and some Jap agents have a secret cache in Rainbow Canyon, with radio and everything." "Oh-h-h!" murmured Ronnie, wide-eyed. "So that's the officer went on. "She made Girardeau take the actual risk of stealing the bomb but she would have taken it from him." By BRUCE CATTON WASHINGTON.

AidTfor-Britain will be the No.

1 topic on the program with bells on. And a scrap just as determined (though probably not as long) as thai turnd on when the President got the arms embargo repealed in 1939 is certain to result. It's likely to take several queer turnings, that scrap. Just what sort of aid-Britain legislation the administration is goinng to hand congress isn't dear yet. It's likely to be involved, because the president's idea is involved.

And while the president seems to have the votes to get pretty much what he wants, the very fact that the new law is going to have to be so involved will give the isolationists several chances to take a good toe-hold and wrestle it around.

When Girardeau's head next showed, only a few feet separated them. He himself couldn't have said what strange fury drove him, but Wes was on the fleeing man with a peculiar exultation. Both guns had been emptied.

Wes literally dived at Girardeau in the last few feet to make a flying tackle such as any man who has played football knows. y.t,.i They fought there furiously..
