IN FRANCE, SPAIN and Portugal I have heard the same question from scores—reiterated with the same insistence. “Will the Amerjcans and the British come in before the Germans?” Thousands in each country are ready to die in guerilla resistance to the Nazis if that fits into an Anglo-Saxon plan to win the war. In France, Spain and Portugal the masses are antiGerman and they are thrilled by the heroism of the Finns, the Greeks and the Jugolslavs, If there is a lead—some action which gives them confidence in ultimate victory over Germany—they are ready to prove themselves heroic, too. But they ask, “What will America do?” When I answered that at the moment America did not seem ready to enter the war a French friend was bitter. He fought with great distinction last spring and had come out with a score of other Frenchmen to join De Gaulle’s

At 10 a. m. tomorrow the children in the neighbornood will say goodby to their playmate, William (Billy) Horner, 12, who lived at 27 8S. Warman Ave. Billy was killed instantly Saturday afternoon when a New York Central train struck him while he was playing on Big Eagle Creek trestle at W.

Billy was playing on the trestle with Gordon Jared, 13, of 25 S. Warman Ave. They were throwing pebbles when they saw the train approaching. They became frightened and aid not think to step to the other track until the train passed. Instead both boys tried to jump. Gordon was successful in leaping from the trestle, but Billy was struck

The boys, next-door neighbors, attended School 50. Billy attended Sunday School at the West Washington St. Methodist Church. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Carrie Horner; a sister, Miss Lucille Horner, and a brother, Donald Horner, all of Indianapolis. His father, William Hormer Sr, died two years ago.

There are two ways of winning a | war. One is by invading an enemy country and immobilizing #s fighting power, thereby forcing capitulation. That is how France was defeated. The other way is by the slower process of exhausting the enemy through economic strangulation and destruction of civilian morale. This second depends primarily on naval power. Exhaustion was the cause of the defeat of the central powers in the World War, due above all else to the Allies’ blockade which cut the enemy off from the rest of the world. In the great, decisive wars of history, sea power has almost invariably been the decisive factor. Germany's naval inferiority marks the weakness of the Fuehrer's position as a world conqueror. Without calculating Britain's great superiority at sea and without remembering how past history shows the power of blockade to exhaust an enemy in a long war, it is not difficult to visualize the victorious pose sibilities of the German Army. But, there is no reason to believe land fighting will determine the outcome of the present war. The war, as it seems now, will be long and that means a war of exhaustion, with naval strength inexorably showing its increasing

Text of Roosevelt Address At Woodrow Wilson Shrine

STAUNTON, Va, May 4, (U. P.).—The text of President Roosevelt's address dedicating the birthplace of Woodrow Wilson as a national shrine, follows: We are meeting here today to dedicate a new shrine of freedom. By this action we are bearing true witness to the faith that is in us

democracy in the world. It is the kind of faith for which we have fought before—for the existence of which we are ever ready to fight again. I can think of no more fitting

to pledge anew their faith in the democratic way of life than at the birthplace of Woodrow Wilson, In

this quiet Presbyterian manse first saw the light of day one whose whole active life was dedicated to the clause of freedom, to the conquest of fear and to the liberation of the eternal spirit of man from every thraldom imposed by force. Woodrow Wilson was fortunate in his birthplace and favored in his parentage and environment. This was a home of plain living and high thinking and wherever the family moved in the migrations incident to the religious calling of the father they carried with them ideals which put faith in spiritual values above every material consideration. In the tragic conflict which the world witnesses today and which threatens everything we have most loved as a free people, we see more clearly than ever before the un-

spirit. All of recorded history bears witness that the human race has made true advancement only as it has appreciated spiritual values. Those unhappy peoples whe have placed their sole reliance on the sword have inevitably perished by the sword in the end.

Physical strength can never pers manently withstand the impact of spiritual force.

Woodrow Wilson's whole career was a triumph of the spiritual over the sordid forces of brute strength. Under his leadership this country made great spiritual progress. Of Woodrow Wilson this can be said, that in a time when world councils were dominated by material considerations of greed and gain and revenge he beheld the vision splendid, That selfish men could not share his vision of a world emancipated from the shackles of force and the arbitrament of the sword in no wise detracts from its splendor. Rather does the indifference of hostile contemporaries enhance the beauty of the vision which he saw and enlarge the glory of the world he sought to rebuild. He will be held in everlasting remembrance as a statesman who, when other men sought revenge and material gain, strove to bring nearer the day which should see the emancipation of conscience from power and the substitution of freedom for force in the goveins ment of the world. It is good for America that this house in which Woodrow Wilson was born will be preserved for us snd for many future generations, mm this Valley of Virginia it will remind America that his ideals of freedom were wide enough to support democracy in all the world, He taught that democracy could
