This Is not ex actly a holiday for other coun tries', regardless of hnw the Ger mans may feel ahout 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 Ger man chancellorship, few read the significance of the day. So as tute an analyst as H. V. Kalton born wrote (New Republic, Feb. 15, 1933), "He Is sworn to obey the constitution and is likely to do so. The time for a fascist coup d'etat is past . . . the March 5 election . . . will not give Adolf Hitler thf! opportunity to estab lish his long-heralded Drittes Helch." Many others, no ess well-informed, felt tho same way. This was to be Just another phase In the disorderly history of post-war Germany. It was, unfortunately, six years before Europe began to take Adolf Hitler seriously. The world did not take him seriously when ho said to a mass meeting short ly after becoming chancellor: Represented by "We want to break with wliat.mer was formerly Vera McClin a rotten brand of democracy has produced and realize that all that Is great can be produced only by tho strength of Individual per-1 sonallly and that all that Is o lie preserved must be entrusted acaln to ability and Individual personality, while the parliamentary-democratic system must be fought." The average rentier shrugged and added mentally, "In Ger many." And he didn't care much what happened with Germany, especially since It had been teet crln'f on the edge of going com munist anyway. So we all turn ed to our own domestic trou bles, which were plenty. Had Hitler confined himself lo abolishing parliamentarian gov ernment within Germany, no body would have eared much, ex cept those Germans who still lov ed liberty land there were some). But next came the effort to extend the llitleiian sway to j Germans outside Germany; later j tile effort to extend it to Czechs, Poles. Norwegians, Dutch, Bel-line gians, French and Danes, Thus the sniallness, once again, of our complex world. An ol scure and rather ridiculous ap pearing politician comes to pow er in Germany in 1933, unci at the end of 1910 nine nations grovel in the dust ot coniuest and a coral aloll In the far South Seas Is shelled by a passing raid er. So far eelio I he repercus sions or that Jan. 23. 1933. Now at last we learn that when Hitler said, just after be coming chancellor, "the parlia mentary democratic system must lie fought," he meant Just that. Editorials on News (('oiitlimetl from W) I.)

SERIAL STORY CONSCRIPTS WIFE BY BETTY WALLACE YESTERDAY: Martha Mar shall had been engaged to Paul Elliott for two years before she met Bill Marshall, Paul's school chum. And she had married Bill less than a month later. Now, still a- bride, she and Bill make a loursome with Paul and Su zanne Decker. Comes registra tion for draft. Bill Is in class I, since Martha is financially inde pendent and Bill s work Is not essential to defense. Then one day, there is a letter for Bill. He has been drafted. Chapter Two She seemed to hear him saying it again. "I've been drafted." And the room was still swim ming around her. "Honey," Bill pleaded. "Dar ling, don't look like that. It's nothing. If I have to go, I have to go." Martha steadied herself. Her husband's face came back into focus. She saw his crisp dark curls, the tightened line of his lips. Her fingers went up, to pat his cheek. So he had been conscripted, after all. There was nothing they could do to change it. He would go away. For a whole year. His country needed him. The United States of America. . . . Her thoughts flitted . in and out, like little darting birds. Bill would be a soldier. But there was no war. Only a precaution, a de fense. Only a year in an army camp. Duty. . . . "Lots of men enlist," Bill was saying softly. "Lots of men join the army for a career." His arms were around her. He kissed her. "It'll only be like like having a job out of town, Martha. You could come up to camp week ends. I'll be home on leave sometime." "Why, Bill, you you talk as if you're used to it already." He was accepting it. He was not re bellious. Something stabbed at her heart as she realized that al most this might he an adventure for him. A change. Something different. Perhaps, he even wel comed it. Bill Vas like that. He had cur iosity and a boundless thirst or excitement. Marriage had not settled him. ou- i.i n.. ..hn it'll hn out: diu iuiu, ..i.i. i. ii ... fun for you. Bill." She thought, tenderly. "Like a little boy. "Play- ing soldier." They "walked out Into the street. Peg, so rusty and dilapi dated, so contrary, was suddenly dear. "It's a good thing we have Peg," she said. "I can drive up to see you." "Yes, if the camp's not over 10 miles away. I wonder where do they send the men from this vicinity?" He added thoughtfully, "Funnv. how you never give the army "a thought. I bet I can't! nnmo ivi-n furls, off hand. And! what I remember from ROTC drill in high school, you could stick in the eye of a needle." Separation. She looked at him hungrily. She must rememncr u i!.. t i,: i.,..- iim i.i,... nf his eyes, the way his hands were; big and capable on me wneei. ii,. hit her lin Thev had never been separated, not even for a nluht. since the minister had said the solemn words over them. And now, they'd be opart for year. A whole year, it sireien ed before her, barren and end less. "In case I never told you be fore," BUI was saying. "I love you, Marina. "In case I never told you." she whispered, "I love you, Bill Mar shall." He straightened his shoulders. "I'll break the news to them at the store." He was struck by an other thought. "1 wonder if I'll get the Job hack afterward." "There's a law about it. They have to take you back." "Yes. If the guy who comes ..rim. n... ,l,u.tn'l lot n Int 11 f rieail - beats walk out with diamond rings so there won't lie any store lo come back to." He stop ped. "You know, I always meant to get you a ring, Martha. Better than the one- the one-" The one Paul had given her. "Don't, sweet." "But I should have saved my money. I didn't." "I've got a ring," she said. "The only one 1 want.' His hand closed over hers. At the Air Transport plant, Martha said, "I'll ask for time off. f want to stay with yrm everv minutes, until you - leave." She stumbled as she cot out of the car. The blood pounded In her ears. It sccmi-d lo her al most as though she was saying fan-well tn the gay and careless (life they had known until now. i Saying farewell to the laughter land dancing and the irresponsi .bilily. The country hail given her ! husband a stern duty lo per I form; and she, as his wife, had I her part in it, too. She'd have lo !slay home, alone and wailing. ! She'd have lo come to this oflicr 'every morning. Not as before. Isiniply because II made things easier but because now there'll i he htr own hung to iij.i1.l-. Strangely, an unfamiliar word. Martha Marshall thought, as she walked into the sunny office where she typed specifications for airplanes, that perhaps their generation hers and Bill's had heard all too little of duty until now. It had never been a stern taskmaster to be reckoned with. No one had preached its necessi ties, it had been no part in their lives. Paul Elliott raked his strong fingers through his hair when she told him Bill had been called. "Nice mess! I thought they'd use some discretion. First crack out of the fishbowl, they hook a married man." He told her to go right home. "I'll fix everything." The thought of duty slaved with her. While she helped Bill pull out dresser drawers, sort out underwear, pack his suitcase, she thought, "at least this isn't such a hard duty. I'm not send ing him to war. Not yet." The store had given him a month's salary. "For the next six months, Martha, they'll send you a check for half salary. De cent, huh?" "Wonderful of them." They had awakened to duty, too. It all happened so swiftly. She could hardly believe it when she woke one morning to the sound of Bill's shower running, the sun streaming In the win dows, and the voice in her brain saying, "This is the last day. He goes tonight. Tonight!" At breakfast, he said, "I'm ac tually liking the idea. I was get ting fed up at the store. Felt like a mule on a treamill. Same old customers, buying the same old junk. Asking them, got a job, how much you make, how much can you pay a week?" Her breath caught. "I didn't know you weren't happy." "Sure I was happy." He was almost impatient. "But things get monotonous after a while." They'd gotten monotonous In New York. That's why lie came here, she remembered. She laughed it off. "The army won't be monotonous. Not much. Drills and hikes or whatever they call it." Paul rang their doorbell half an nour oeiore uain mm-. i should have brought flowers, he said. "But I got this. It was ja cmTip.tct mi, it-iiiin-t, ini ind mirror and razor ana enrom ium containers for soap, tooth paste, shaving cream. "Say, that's swell!;,' Bill grin ned. "A pint would have been useful, too." The three of them piled into i I lie front seat of the old car. Bill slung his suitcase in the back. A dejected Butch, leaped in he hind them, sniffed unhappily and asked in low growls what was wrong, "Loo! ." Paul said, as they turned into the station drive. "The parking lot's jammed." Laughing girls, and girls who weren't laughing, and men car rvinj suitcases, and older wo- men clutching nanKercnieis. were getting out of the other cajs. "I'm not the only one who's I being left behind." Martha said. It was cold comfort. Inside, the station was crowd aetl and noisy. As they pushed their wav toward the gate, Pain said, "Reminds me of a scene from a newsreel. Kissing the boys goodby." Martha's eyes stung. h'T lips (tiivereil. Hut she had promised herself she would send Bill -away with a smile. "You'll write to me, Bill? : Every day?" I Bill set his suitcase down, i "Well, this i. it. honey." His .arms readied lor her. and slid tleiilv she was clinging to him. '"Bill, oh. Bill, darling." I "Don't erv, darling. I'll be . inillKlllg oi you rvnj mum-, 1 He shook hands with Paul. "Take care of her. boy," lie said gruffly. "I'm depending on you." Martha stood there, a girl of stone, as Bill mounted the little steps into the train. His face ap peared at a window, over some one else's face. She picked up the corner's of her lips and smil ed. She w aved to him. A voice cried, "All aboard! All aboard!" There was the rising snort of the engine, the deepen ing rumble of wheels. The train j began to move. Martha w aved frantically. Suddenly she was , running trying (o keep up. "Bill! Bill!" ; Paul said. "Martha. Don't." She se.-treelv heard him. She Roseburg Undertaking Co. Established 1901 M.

EDWARDS The essentials of religion are few and very simple, and are fittingly summed up in the words of the prophet, Micah. "To do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with God." Here is a com mon ground for every relig ious faith, Jew, Catholic, Pro testant, Buddhist, Hindu, Con fucian and Mohammedan, all can unite here. No matter how differently they may express their varying beliefs In words, here is a way of life which makes all religion fundamen tally one, for a man's religion is his sincere and earnest en deavor to live according to the light within him. It is per fectly expressed in a man when he lives In the best way known lo him. For the Chris tian, the way is Christ, Christ the power of God. While the essentials of a religious life have always been the same in all religions, it is Christianity alone that supplies the power to put them Into action, to make precepts live. A man may struggle on alone to be just and merciful and humble, and in a measure succeed, but Christianity offers him a dy namo to assure success.

As if somehow, she could prevent be ing left behind. But inexorably the train mov ed faster. Bill's face was draw ing away. Then it was gone. Her arm dropped to her side, "lies' gone. I'm alone." Paul was running toward her. All at once, she was laughing. "Paul," she cried hysterically. "Paul, I'm a conscript's wife now."
