Congress is Just like the rest of us In that respect. If it passes an occasional buck, why that is no more than the rest of us do. But how tho president and the chief of staff come to congress and tell it that In their Judgment the national safety requires that men now In service for what was to have been a year must remain longer. Either this Is necessary or It is not necessary. Congress must decide, and must bear the respon sibility for Its decision. It is not a question to bo decided on sen timent. It Is not a question to be evaded. It Is a question to be faced and decided. If it be true, as some critics have averred, that tho U. S. army has not a single division ready for combat on the Euro pean scale, then congress must decide how many such divisions It will have when from some of tnc regular army divisions as many as 600 reserve officers are sent home at the end of their year. It must decide how well defended will be the outosts when units which have been sent hither are decimated by men sent home. General Marshall, in his bien nial report, says, "Whatever we do for the national defense should be done In the most effi cient manner." Perhaps il woultl be Ihe most eincienl way to persuade large j numbers to remain In service! voluntarily, offering Induce-J1 w"s Napoleon1 lowering urn-1 ments in pay and conditions. hi,lon that led him to invade Perhaps it would be best to re-1 ise only those above 2S. . lea: Perhaps It would be best to send all home at the end of Ihe year, though it does call to mind Die federal troons mm-rhirm mm lo Ihe battle of First Bull Run,! who actually passed on Ihe road companies marching away from Hie Impending battle because their threeinonth enlistments had expired. Washington, whose troops were always melting away, also knew the problem. Today's situation must be squarely faced. The people arc prepared to accept any decision made by their elected representa tives.' They will not tolerate any passing of the buck, any failure to explore all aspects of Ihe problem, any wavering in decid ing It resolutely on Ihe basis of the national safety ami welfare. That is the kind or clearcut tie tislons which free countries imisl make to survive in lodav's world. A Gam Two Con Play j A YEAI! ago Ihe United States awoke to realization thai II was playing the nazl game in ji fin America, and playing it un consciously. A large percentage of sales of U. S. goods was fun nelliig through German agenls mid Jobbers, most of whom were t'olng axis work. SMmetblnir ha been drine More than HXKI i. s. accounts have already been . laken away fiiirn agents In Latin America whose sympathies of activities or both were anti-American and pro-axis. More will he similarly removed and placed in new hands. The American blacklist now contains 5000 names. It Is harsh business -not ihe kind of business Ihe United I States likes. But the conduct of! Germans in the Americas left ,'io choice. We like to think of business as business. When others make lusiness politics, they ask for a political ' retaliation, 1 ' : . i - AN a single letter contribute strongly to , the defeat of nazism? , . There are forces in Britain which believe it can; there are evidences cropping up here and there throughout Europe which suggest that It may. "V" stands for "Victory." It also stands for "Victoire," the French equivalent. Somehow the custom sprung up of chalking that single letter on sidewalks and walls, penciling It on posters, even tracing it in the mud on Orman cars. The thought Is to create a universal sign of eventual victory, and Haunt It before German eyes In every conquered country. The British radio Is encourag ing this practice throughout Eu rope, and adding the Morse code for V, three short signals follow ed by a long one. That's uni versal In all countries. Fantastic? Surely. Hut wasn't I theie a king once, Bflshazzar, who was considerably disturbed by writing on a wall? Editorial on Newt (Continued from pace L) to be propitious. The source of this report Is a GERMAN diplomat, now station ed in Turkey, but who was sta tioned in Moscow until Ihe out break of the war. IT was Confederate General Forrest who said that victory oc's t0 l,w commander who "gits inar iusiesr wiin the mostest men." Another military prin ciple Is that victory goes to the side that has the necessary re serves to throw In ut the deci sive moment.

D EPOKTS from confine ntal agenls (spies), this source says, Indicate that Germany has moved the cream of her troops lo the eastern front. The mere problem of reassembling them Into invasion armies In the west would lake a minimum of six weeks under the most favorable conditions.

WHEN X-999 EXPLODES CHAPTER XXIII JNOWLEDGE of her power at this moment, and of the ven geance she was about to wreak on the Tyler girl, gave Leana Sormi's face a wild look of exhilaration. Sho threw her transmitter switch as if the act were a definite litllo finale. And finale it was! Not even Leana Sormi, brilliant scientist, had known the extreme potency of X-999!!! Simultaneously with her touch of that switch, all of hcllflrc itself belched over the universe. The earth shook in a staccato of doom. Tonto Mountain, it ap peared, was lifted skyward. A great spreading bulk blacked out the light of day, extended cast- ward over a full five miles, then came pelting roaring crashing down in an all-consuming bom bardment. The top half of Mummy Itidge Itself was blown square off and a minute later it and all its area there to the east were buried under countless tons of debris. The j very physiography of a mountain range was being altered. And no- ' body no living soul heard Leana Sormi give her long, hysterical scream. JROM other points of viow (as told countless times in the months and even years to follow) the explosion of.. Tonto Mountain was that of a volcano, no less. Ex cept that this particular volcnnc spewed fire from only one side ol its mouth, after first bursting out an opening. The actual eruption was not straight up, but angled. The grea: force of the explosion naturalij took the path of least resistance The west half of Tonto MountaiC was a bulwark of granite, virtualb' solid rock a mile thick at its bus A flat white face of that graniu When the is past. rrrauvi iiui aaaaiJWjUlai umujJaa $UJ$L.. -1..,. f W ' f VOU TASTE ITS QUALITr" POWER COPYRIGHT. 1941.

But in nature's own eruptions eons ago she had loosened and stirred the eastern halt of Tonto, upending its strata and piling there loose boul ders, smaller rocks and soils. It was this loose deposit which gave way under the force of X-999's xplosion. That loose half ot Tonto became shrapnel, spreading out fan-wise. The granite half stood firm, mere ly shaken by the recoil. The circumstance proved to be extremely fortunate for puny hu man beings who had dared en sconce themselves in nature's bosom here. It was as if nature had kept a benign hand over them and their little huts. Not that the huts escaped damage every window in Ihe scientists' village was broken, and every china dish, every bit of glass equipment in the laboratory. Rock chimneys were toppled over. One cabin was moved quite off its foundation. The stables, flimsy structures at best, were flattened and three of the horses killed. A dozen major or minor avalanches were started on neigh boring mountains, and their roil ing, pelting rocks were still an echoing thunder 10 minutes after the actual explosion. Most of the village people, 89 Leana Soavni had mentioned to Carolyn, were at dinner. When the fUeirt shock nod noise came, they were stupefied. .ars were deaf ened, irlusclcfi numbed: The story of all th;it was destined to make good telling for generations after. WIIEN Carolyn and Leana left him a!: tho sfuhlr-s shni-tlv lifter 5 o'clock, Bob Hale lingered to rub down his black gslding rather than Hive the task to a stable boy. Currying, brushing, patting and talking is the way to get acquaint ed with a horse, Bob knew; it can be itcnuine pleasure for both. About 15 minutes Isier, though, Bob was called to the stable tele phone. It was Leana. "Robert, dear," she began, "is it too much to ask that you drive in to Blair for me, at once? There is some equipment a microscope puj-t which I simply must have in the laborjUory early tomorrow morning, and I really wanted It tonight. It was due on the mail stage today and the Blair post office clAses .tt fl. I I wouldn't want to trust it to one o our clumsy workmen here, so" - "Surely, Leana! I can drive right over now.

It swung south and W from Tonto Mountain, winding ill picturesque way. . He was still thinking ot the girls. Somehow, despite his avowed desire to serve her, he hadn't ex actly liked Leana Sormi today. For no reason that he cor Id set a finger on, he had resented her manner while on the ride. He forced that thought aside as unfair, senseless. The car on the mountain curves took all his at tention. And when he reached Blair he paused to chat a bit with the postmaster. Leana's parcel hadn't arrived, after all. She would be disappointed. Vaguely he wondered why a mere miscroscope lens, or what ever it was, could be so urgent. There were other microscopes at hand in the laboratory. But thaga. a person gets used to a favorr one, he knew. He switched the talk' to deer hunting. "Shore thing. Dr. Hale," the postmaster was friendly, "it's deer as'll run right over you around here ' in autumn time! Shore's you're born! Big bucks with 10, 20 points all up in that Tonto Mountain eountry. You stick here till October, you'll see. You got a good rifle?" - Tiiey went into the matter of guns, man talk. They were ex amining the postmaster's own 30 30 when BROO-O-O-O-O-OM! 'THE earth trembled, shook them to their very teeth! Glass cracked and fell from the bursting shock of Uie explosion. Bob's museles froze, Tho postmaster looked quickly at Iiim in consternation. Neither ' spoke nt first. Then both looked out. The late sun-yellowed sky back toward Tonto was blooming in2k magnificent mass of black eafdr and rocks aad shooting flame. They saw it boil. Sow it grow billowing, spreading, roaring ane" echoing furiously now. It was greater than anything In their comprehension. It was reaching " out over half the horizon, as if it meant to engulf all the universe. I know!" Bob rasped, from the deep frenzy now within him. "It it Oarolyn s there! Carolyn's stilt there! . , , Come on! , , Oh my God! . . . Carolyn!" The two men were runnina lo Bob's car. (To Be Concluded) For newspaper deliveries offer 5:30 Please Call 159-L i:l fWM
