Tile big joli now will lie to convince the friends of Tucker and Kinard that no miatuke made. —o F.om those in every walk of life come sincere statements and regret over the death of former Judge Huber M. DeVoss. His was a busy and complete life in which he met every situation with calmness and courage. The sorrow is widespread and genuine. O—O Secretary Hull has announced his plan ior a framework of the international association designed to help the world after the war. It is sound and should be supported by men of every political party. However it may not be perfect and we may be sure it will Im. taken apart many times and reanuembled before ft is adopted.

It may seem slow but we should remember its a big job, the biggest by far ever engaged in by any nation or any group of nations. In Italy, Il arts ia and the South Pacific, victories are being won almost daily and the air forces continue to pounds the invasion coast hourly and with increased forces. The next few months will tic teuse and we hope will advance us far on the way to complete victory and the end of the war.

school next September. The commencement exercises were interesting and the address by Rev. Leo Pursley was filled with good advice and sound thoughts. Four of the graduates have gone to war and their diplomas were received by their parents. The graduates step out into u world that may seem . upside-down to them but they will 1 find more opportunities than have ever come to any similar group. O—O i Tlie Republican slate convention ■ adopted a platform condemning about every thing that could be thought of regarding the national administration. It was perhaps to ! be ixpecled but after all this nation should be agreed upon foreign policies that will prevent wars and , provide the best trade agreement* for lite future. It's alright to play politics in normal limes hut the silualion now is so serious that unless there in cooperation and wise Judgment, we can easily lose tile peace. Evidently the delegates became so enthused with otd fashioned politics that they could not restrain themselves. O—O Reconversion: industry is anxious to begin reconversion to peacetime business and lias given a lot of thought to the subject. of course, the rcconvendon will not come all al once, it will start 1 when it Is clear to military ami civil leaders that the invasion of Europe Is going to be a success and that there is a safe margin of military supplies on hand. After Germany collapses, the reconversion movement will expand, because the war against Japan will not require peak productfcn of armaments. Until final victory is attained whatever Is needed for that end will have right-of-way. The gradual shift back to normal should help in stabilizing employment which government, management and labor all dewire. Tiic details of the plans will lie complex and strict controls will be exercised in many lines of production until Japan has surrendered. — Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. O—O Help Save Lives: Deaths and injuries from accidents al home and at play have been more numerous than war csaualUes since Pearl Harbor, according to the National Safety Council. That Is not equivalent to saying that life in these United States Is us hazardous as on the beachhead of Anzio. After all, there are still ' 12 or 13 civilians for every member of the armed services, so the toll ,-n*r thousand or per million is consl.lerably lower ut home. But it is a striking fact that more Individuals are meeting death and injury on the Streep and in the factories than In the battle areas. Wholly aside from the personal sorrow and grief involved it is a drag on Hie war effort every time an able-bodied person is killed or disabled. Lives saved al home may hasten the day when war ends, thus saving lives of our soldiers and sail--1 ora abroad.—Van Wert Times-Bui- ' ietin. i o Modern Etiquette I | By ROBERTA LBB | , Q.

Says U. S. Destined To Be Most Powerful Bruce Barton Opens Indiana Bond Drive Indianapolis. June 5. — (UP) — Bruce Barton of New York, author and former congressman, said today that lhe United States, whether It chooses or not. was destined to be the most powerful nation in the world and that postwar conditions would be determined by spiritual values. In a nation-wide broadcast (NBC) launching Indiana's fifth war loan drive. Barton said thai the economic problem In Great Britain and Russia has been one of conversion whereas in America, it has been one of expansion. “We could. It necessary, keep even our present military strength without critical curtaiment of our manufacturing and trading position.” he said. "Not so Britain. Not so Russia. They have no choice. Both these countries must reduce their miitary strength If they are to live. "The balance of power, already so overwhelmingly in America's favor, will Inevitably be enhanced at the war's end. "Cite these facts not in any spirit of vain glory, not with any suggestion that we shall want to remain permanently the greatest military power, but merely ae a reminder to the faint hearted and a rebuke to on the Associated Press wires at 4:39 p. m. EWT. Three minutes later the news agency sent out a note asking editors to withhold publication of the dispatch and the “kill'' order was transmitted at 4:44. The false story was carried throughout Canada on the wires of the Canadian Press, credited to the Associated Press. The Buenos Aires newspaper. La Nation, blew its siren to announce erroneously, on the basist of lhe AP dispatch, that the invasion had started. It was the second time the siren had been used In error, the first time being on May 12. It also based upon an erroneous AP dispatch. The false news also was broadcast over radio stations in Santiago, Chile, and Havana, Cuba.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE Slowly Colin turned. They were alone. It was * moment that had to be faced; a moment made inevitable by all that had happened before, yet it took more courage than he thought to meet her eye*. Irina spoke first. "You meant that, about going away?" • “Don’t you think I’d better!” "But why!” ' i “You know the answer." “Colin, we kissed—that's all. Is it so very much?” “Not with anyone else—but you happen to be Rodney Selkirk's future wifa.” She may have winced. "You ean always blame it on the woman. Mose men would.” not th,nkin B of blame. I’m thinking of tomorrow and the days after. I’m thinking of the man who happens to be in love with you." He gathered up her clothes and hid them on the bed. “These are dry now. I’ll go out and atart the.motor.” « I ' Her two hands dosed about Ms t arm. "Colin, don’t make me sorry about that kiss.” ’ you?” ’ » • She threw back her head, and her ffmoky eyes careased him. "I’m glad.” The low, fervent voice raised a i faint rustling of echoes, her hands 1 were on his wrist, and again he felt the spell of her. He took a quick , stop back. "We’d better go now, while there’s time. 11l wait for you down by the lake.” But the eold motor gave him trouble; hi* fingers were unutterably elunuy, and Irina had seated herself in the canoe before he was able to start. She did not speak as he wrapped the blanket about her, then, lowering his herd before the storm, turned toward the center of the lake. The wind was biting cold, the hail stinging their faces, and Mated at ths tiller Colin steered for Learmonth, glad that they could not talk, welcoming the sAvage l»»b of the storm. Only once Irina spoke, just before they reached the inn. “Colin,” she asked, “you won’t say anything about this to Rodney?" “Suppose Dove talks’" "I don’t think he will.• Colin lifted her to the dock and shoved the canoe out into the stream. But once, through driving hail, he looked back to see her standing there, gazing after him—a lonely, •olitary figure holding a cold, whimpcLiPg pup ln her •’■fwThrottJe wide open, he steered straight into the storm, but h ! s Jhoughta, racing faster than the mot®r - took Mm back to that cabin by ths lake shore, and once more he was kneeling, looking up into the shadowy triangle of a woman’s face; ,a K ,r li P* »wayod ul* ai ? 4 •’“•H w " lt « hands Pressed his neck.

IN THESE hills, last important Nazi stronghold before Rome, American lads staged toe Alban Hills coup, the details of which will be told and retold for many years. Their feat paved the way for the fall of Velletrl, around which the U. S. boys moved at night to infiltrate the German lines and get behind them by reaching a high razorback ridgo on ML Artemesio (indicated by upper arrows). They first reached high ground near Lake Nemi, shown at left of Velletri, and then began their midnight scramble to the peaks.

Inward doubts." Barton said that he was concerned principally, however, over the (haracter and quality of the American people. < “My fear is not that we hall fail to win the war physically, or survive it financially, but that we may fail to win its spiritually." he said, adding that "the only way to have a bettor world is to have better people In the world." Regarding the future, he said that he had "read most. If not all. the books that are written by wiser men-—the books that say the postwar world will be utopia, and the books that warn us that it will be plain hell. “Personally. I shall not be surprised if It turns out to be what it always has been, a little bit of both." Barton said. "Prohibition, repeal, war to end

But Rodney Selkirk loved her. Colin pulled his coat tighter. Selkirk loved her, and there was work ahead—work that called for cold reason and for steadfast, undistiacted vigilance; there could be no place for encircling arms or soft lips. His job was the man hunt Shielding his eyes, he peered across the waters; then suddenly brought the canoe about in a tight arc and steered toward the Indian school. Dove’s absence might provide a long-awaited chance to talk with Dr. Benedict—and anything was better than being alone with his own unprofitable reveries. Again he thought of Selkirk, and drew a deep, sharp breath. Well, it was done and could not be undone. No amount of regret could alter the pasL In this life you had to pick yourself up and start again. But one thing alone was certain—there must be no more trips with Irina. The hail had changed to driving snow when Colin tied his canoe to the dock and went directly to Benedict’s little office in the Hall. He found the doctor at his desk, bending over a paper covered with figures. As he entered, Benedict threw down his pencil with a grunt of exasperation. "Money." He waved Colin to a ehair. “Blair says I'm a child in arms when it comes to money. I don’t ever seem able to get along with it or without IL Then all at onee you need some, and you haven't got iL” Colin remembered how heedless this big physician had always been of his own worldly gain; the story was current in Learmonth that whenever Benedict visited some ailing Cree family he not only paid for the prescription he gave, but sent them a load of provisions. "What’s the crisis now, Doctor?” Colin asked. “I want a new type of compound microscope. I can save human lives with it by making a more prompt diagnosis, but Dove can’t get it—--1 he’s spent his allotment—so I’m try- | ing to find out if I’m solvent” , He frowned at the figures, like a , rehoolboy at some difficult problem in mathematics. "I’ve never thought much about money, Colin. Maybe that was a mistake. It gets more ImI portant as you get older. Kot for •ne—l’m too old to matter—but for j Blair. I've got her to think about” , "Biair will always take care of ( herself.” "Row! There Isn’t much for a girl to do up here, you know. When the I war’s over, all the pilot jobs will go i back to men.
