NAVV DAY (I On 11 ii ill'll I 'null I'jikc Onc> The Commander said, basically, the navy’s job is to keep the seas open to its country's ships. “Our best defense," he said, "is the several thousand miles of ocean intervening between us and countries whose nations may become our active enemies. Protected by the navy, our frontier is short ami is safe, but, if the navy were to be removed, our

defense would be a very serious matter. “The function of our navy Is to serve as a heavy-hitting, a heavyitriking unit, capable of battering invading enemies to pieces. To maintain that advanced frontier we must have bases, and our recent acquish | lion of such bases is to enable our ] fleets to operate far away from o.e home shores, and stop our enemies, if they become aggressive, before they can contact our home shores. “When, and if, the seas are not kept clear of enemy fleets, the seas become a seat of potential gravest, danger.’’ In a conversation, the ccmmanawr levealed that the Atlantic fleet is composed of lighter, more mobils fighting units than is the Pacific fleet; that our fleet is probably the most powerful single naval unit in the world, but it is not more powerIful than the combined fleets of the I European axis powers.

Because of detours and slick roai a from Indianapolis, Commander R. H. C. Mathews of the United States Navy who was scheduled to speak at the Navy Day Chapel of DePauw arrived too late to make his full address. He did, however, briefly stress the importance of naval bases far from the shores of this hemisphere. The navy, he pointed out, is an interceptive navy, geared for fighting far out at sea. With the seas free for all ocean travel, the ocean is a fine defensive barrier; but with the seas controlled by an enemy, it might make an excellent highway for attack. The navy, able to intercept any such attack, must be able to operate far from its home shores. Pinch-hitting for Commander Mathews was Jack Oilmans, ’40. who has recently returned from Lima, Peru, where he spent a year in school. Holder of a Pan-American Airways Travel Fellowship he has studied and traveled in South America since February. "The South American countries," he said, "will be friendly with whatever country can do the most for them. If it looks like the advantage will be Germany's, I am convinced that South America will go along with Germany.’’ At the present time, he added, the nations of South America are not particularly interested

in the United States. Whatever poor opinion the South Americans have of the United Statr i is due to the tourist, movies, and capitalists. Tourists feel themselves much better than the South American and try to impress them with this superiority. Movk v with the ganster films and wild west stories, have given a wrong impression of this country. The capitalist, controlling much of South American in lustry and employing unfair tactics in dealing with South American labor, has prejudiced the average S iki. American against the Unite I States, he said.

DePauw News Briefs When Dr. Hugh Sparks was inaugurated president of Wabaah College Saturday, three DePauw persons played prominent parts in that ceremony. One of the principal speakers at the inaugural service held in the Memorial Chapel was Dr. Rufus Bernhard von KleinSmid, president of the University of Southern California. Dr. von KleinSmid was a member of the DePauw faculty from 1906 to 1915 serving as professor of Education, dean of the summer school one year, and associate dean in charge of freshmen. He is remembered by many Greencastle citizens. His talk, which preceded the inaugural address of President Sparks was on the theme, "The Broad College in a Narrow World.” Other speakers on the same program u eluded Dr. Alfred H. Upham. pres dent of Miami University and Dr. Herman B .Wells, president of Indiana University. One of the speakers at the inaugur - al dinner given by Wabash alumni in the Masonic Temple at Crawfordsville, was Dr. Clyde E. WHoman, president of DetPauw. With him on this program was Dr. E. C. En,ott of Purdue University and Dr. Daniel S. Robinson of Butler University. Dr. Wildman was also the official delegate of DePauw. Dr. Hero id T. Ross, head of the department of Speech at DePauw, was chosen by the University tn Iowa, where Dr. Ross did his graduate work, to represent that institution at the inauguration. Most or the colleges and universities in the middle-west sent delegates. A number of DePauw students, alumni and

it.iff members attended the WabashHanover footbn! game in the afternoon since the Tigers were on a road trip to Oberlin College.

Wild Geese On Way Southward FLOCK SEEN HERE SUNDAY WERE MAKING CONSIDERABLE NOISE Some geese that flew south in a hurried flight several weeks ago must have turned to the wrong page in their calendar, and must have found they had made a mistake, because they turned around and came north again. Which would make them feel just like a goose . . . But somehting more serious in the temperature line evidently has happened in the far north, because these big migrant birds have been streaming southward over Putnam county, beginning Friday night, and continuing through Saturday and Sunday. One flock, v/hich came hurtling along the airway from the north. Sunday, in their characteristic perfect V-shape formation, got into the vicinity of an airplane when over Greencastle and the leaders shied away from the huge man-made bird. That caused the feathered fliers to lose their stride and broke up their formation for a while, but. they soon iallied and headed southward again, with the captain of the flock at the front tip of the spear-head. The geese discussed the matter loudly, for a time, their remarks being heard I plainly by human beings down on the I surface of the earth. The hard downpour of rain Sunday evening, and the succeeding showers are loosening many of the brightly colored leaves from trees and shrubs, denuding entirely some of the trees which had displayed brilliant colors

until then.

However, the bright show in the woods has not come to an end yet. The sugar trees have not taken on their scarlet coloration, nor have the oaks taken on their maroon and copper tints. Those displays will come yet, if the leaves of those trees are spared a while longer by the frosts and the winds and rains.

RED CROSS

(Coiitimipil From l*ai£e One) Mabel Vermillion, president. Tnc The business district will be :r charge of the following: Cloyd Moss Simpson Stoner, John Poor, Jake Eitel, Edgar Trostle, Zol McIntyre, Sam Hanna, Lynn Brown, Bob Dean. Charles Meikel, Mrs. Nellie Denio ani Miss Elizabeth Ward. Allan Vestal of the University, will speak on the activities and accomplishments of the Red Cross. Supplies will be distributed and instructions and plans for the drive will be completed at this meeting. Music will be furnished by Miss Betty Owens and Bill Lockwood. America's national defense effort * require a great expansion of all American Re 1 Cross activities, E. R. Bartley, chairman of the Putnam county Red Cross chapter, declared today in urging "all-out" support of the greatest membership Roll Call in Red Cross history, to be held fiom

November 11 to 30.

Mr. Bartley said the Putnam chapter had set a quota of 2700 members for its share in the national appeal. "Me must go over the top in this Roll Call, he added, "because the continuance of the national Red Cross program depends upon the success of the local chapters in ap-

pealing for members.”

The Red Cross has more than doubled the number of field directors tk’l an d medical work-

and Navy posts and hospitals. Red Cross staffs are at 185 stations and hospitals covering 900 points

of military and naval service. Approximately 200 field directors and assistants are dealing with the ablebodied personnel of the Army ana Navy, while another 140 workers assigned to Army and Navy hospitals, render medical social service and communication service for con-

valescent patients as well as plan medically approved recreation. To facilitate these within-camp | activities, Mr. Bartley said, the Red j Cross has under way a $1,250,000 constiuction program to erect Red 1 Cross administration buildings at j each of 62 Army camps. These buildings contain offices, consultation rooms, living quarters for the Red Cross staff, and a recepth,. room and lecture room for classes in Red Cross first aid and home nursing courses. He added that the Red Cross also is completely furnishing and operating; hospital recreation buildings constructed by the War Department at 65 Army stations and general hospitals. The buildings will provide recreational services for convalescent patients, including current popular motion pictures, stage presentations and other entertainment. The program in these quarters will be conducted by a trained Red Croao staff aided by volunteer Gray Ladies, the Motor Corps and other volunteer units of nearby Red Cross chapter.-.. "It is essential for the complete functioning of this vital program that local chapters strengthen their home service departments, Mr. Bartley said. "These departments, with the field directors at the camps and hospitals, form the liasion between the military and civilian populations which is the duty of the American Red Cross to provide. Our own chapter must be prepared to bear its share of the load, but it can only do so with the wholehearted support of the lopd, but it can only do so with the wholehearted support of the entire community during Roll Call.” Mr. Bartley said that the Red Cross on a nationwide basis is performing a number of other services for the armed forces, including the enrollment of nurses and medical technologists, production of 40,000.00 surgical dressings by women volunteers, furnishings of $1,000,000 worth of athletic and recreational equipment to Army and Navy posts, instruction of first aid, swimming | and life saving at Army camps and supplying of extra-comfort articles ! to convalescent military and naval patients. “Meanwhile, the Red Cross must | expand its services in other ways to help in the preparation of civilian defenses," Mr. Bartley pointed out. Plans are being laid in every section of the country to prepare for Red Cross disaster relief service under any eventuality. Last year the Red Cross aided approximately 220,000 persons who were victims of 149 disasters.
