ANOTHER WAR IN 25 YEARS? Because one colossal war followed another after a tuar-or-century of troubled peace, there is a disposition in varies parts of the world to view another major conflict as invitable in 25 years or less. The Gallup Poll and its affiliates recently reported that this viewpoint is shared by 50 er cent of the people in France, 48 per cent in Great Britin and 63 per cent in the United States. Growing pessimism ver the chances for durable peace is. reported also in AusL'alia and Sweden. If we had no recourse but to accept this theory, the out)ok for civilization would be virtually hopeless. The basis f such a conclusion is relatively simple. World War I inr olved civilian populations directly only to a limited degree, k'hile the Zeppelins raided England . primitive warplanes vade some foryas behind the lines, such deadly weapons as anks and poison gas were hazards only for combatants. But i7orld War II spread its terrors far and wide. Repeated air aids reduced great cities to piles of rubble. Pilotless bombs aused even greater terror'if not greater destruction. Final7, it was demonstrated that a' single atomic bomb could ilast a major city off the map.
V At a colculable rate ot scientmc progress, anotner war n'a quarter of a century might? be waged from great dis-ances-and reach into any part of any country. Traditional lo f eases, might be useless. In fact, we have heard soma well(liir4..V,!guess that combatants in "the lexFwar" would be safer than civilians. While we think pessimism is a natural outgrowth of the iisillusionment and emotional let-down following the last .var, and therefore subject to some discount, the hazards of iie future are real enough to demand far greater thought :han we have yet given to preventive measures. Real progress has been made toward outlawing aggression, and the chief exploiters of that policy probably can be
kept helpless for much longer than 25 years. We ares making
progress, albeit slowly, toward reconciling dinerences be
tween nations. Some countries are even signifying willing
ness to subordinate part of their sovereign rights, if neces sary, to keep the peace.
The chief problem that must be solved lies in a choice
between an atomic arms race and international co-operation
leading ultimately to control of atomic power by a world organization. This problem now is before the United Nations
organization, which has many difficulties to overcome but
none comparable to that caused by the discovery of nuclear
fission. ' This problem has been discussed exhaustively already, and yet the discussion has barely started. Much of it is over our heads. But whether we understand any of it, or none at all, we must give our own representatives and those of other nations every, encouragement toward solving the problem. We must give humanity another chance to demonstrate, despite past failures, that wars are avoidable.

When pain stabs like a knife in the back along with frequent getting up nights, many folks are so grateful for Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root medicine that relieves such distress when due to kidneys not eliminating as they should. For three generations Swamp Root has been the standby in millions of homes when loss of sleep from getting up nights causes folks to feel so nervous, run-down and worn out. Many think there is nothing like the herbs in Swamp Root, for stimulating kidneys' excretion. TRY it! Try to get feeling better with a bottle of Swamp Root from the drug store.

HOLIDAY TOLL LOW Safe driving replaced violent death on many highways yesterday, withs advance reports indicating that the Fourth of July would prove to be the most safe and sane in recent history. In contrast to State Police predictions that 21 persons would die in traffic crashes, only three highway deaths had been reported in Indiana last night. Two Hoosiers met death in an automobile crash near Mattoon, 111. Two World War II veterans were killed and a third was injured seriously yesterday morning when an automobile in which they were riding struck the side of a bridge over Raccoon Creek on Ind. 43, 12 miles west of Greencastle. Injured fatally were Raymond Bernard Riley, 23 years old, driver of the car, and Robert Watkins, 22, both of Greencastle. Hurt seriously was Donald Alspaugh, 23, also
of Greencastle. Mrs. Angeline Dienlaw, 51, of Gary, died yesterday afternoon in Mercy Hospital in Gary of injuries suffered when she was struck by an automobile while crossing a street near her home. Mr. and Mrs. Lute Rose of Gary and 1-year-old Linda Lorraine Thompson of Windsor, 111., were killed, and five other persons were injured yesterday in a collision of two automobiles near Mattoon, 111. Thomas Leroy Menzie, 29, ,of Rome City, was killed yesterday morning when struck by a westbound Wabash Railroad freight train about two and one-half miles east of Wolcottville. C, R. Hopkins of Montpelier, O., engineer of the train, told State Police Mr. Menzie was lying on his back across one of the tracks when the train struck him. The train's whistle was blown several times in ' an effort to warn the victim, the engineer said.

PHILIPPINES CELEBRATE FREEDOM Cries of "Kalayan" (freedom) rang from barrio to barrio, from island to island, throughout the Philippines as Filipinos celebrated their newly gained independence. The festivities, some of which will contnue for several days, were topped by the official ball at Majacanan Palace. There, President and Mrs. Manuel A. Eoxas received the representatives of 27 nations, including scores from the United States whose solemn independence covenant with the Philippines was fulfilled earlier, with colorful ceremonies at Luenta Plaza, bordering Manila Bay.

Daisy painted and Pete drew until lunch time . . .
THE days for Daisy and Pete were identical. Routine had become ritual. If winter was inconceivable, then winter could not happen, and the way to make winter impossible was surely to live entirely in the present, to count on the sun and honor it at every turn. So they swam every morning, and then Daisy painted and Pete drew until lunch time. After that they stretched out and slept in the sun, and then they worked again until five o'clock when they swam once more. , As the sun went down, Daisy had dinner cooking and a shakerful of cocktails ready on the porch. They sat there every day with the cool of the evening rising gratefully about them and watched the sun set. Another day had passed, but it never seemed like another step toward winter and Pete's departure. Rather, it was as if another

spell had bee'n woven to hold the sun still in the heavens and change the whole year into August. About the tenth of August, Daisy got a letter from her agent about an important illustrating contract. Would she come to New York in two weeks and sign it? She showed it to Pete. "The big time," he said. "Terrific." ' "I suppose I'd better do it," she said doubtfully. "I'll break your neck if you don't." "Well, I've got two weeks. I'll forget it till then." For almost two weeks, the weather held. Summer was still strong. Then, like a spell breaking, it broke. One day the shutters banged and rain drove on the roof. ""Summer's over," said Daisy. She could feci Pete pause and could have bitten her tongue out for speaking those two forbidden words.

They were mired too deep to move. It stormed over the island for three days, and after the first shock it was marvelous. The orean was heavy gray ... the waves marched in, higher and higher. Getting anywhere was a triumph; Now they both went to market together and the car was always getting stuck. The Saturday before they planned to drive to New York, the storm won. What yesterday had been a little mudhole. now received them with an ominous jolt and clang of metal. Pete got out and looked suspiciously at the. rear end, but they were. mired so deep that he could not be sure what was wrong. The rain began to come down harder. After a few minutes, Pete came and leaned on the front, window. His hair was plastered all over his forehead '' "She's indeep," he said. "We can't make it . . . - ' ' (Continued tomorrow)
