Skidding on the Parallels '
D HAWING historical parallels
Is like sliding down ,hc lront
walk on frosty morning -it's
fun, hut its dangerous.
The parallelism between the
present German retreat on the
Russian front and that of Napo
leon in JS12 is so attractive, so
neat, and so alluring to wish
thinkers, that a great deal of
good white paper has been Spoil
ed In exploiting it.
Look how easy It Is:
Napoleon and Hitler each in
vaded Russia at almost the same
time of year, hoping for a' quick
campaign which would Jay the
enemy low before the rigors of
winter.
Napoleon took Moscow In ear-!
ly September, but the ci ,ly was
burned and he had to withdraw.
His retreat, disrupted by poor
discipline and bitter went her, hac
assed by Cossacks and army pur
suit, became a disastrous rout,
and an urmj of more than 400,
1)00 men had been pulversied 10
fewer than 25,000. Nevertheless,
Russian pursuit stopped at the
Niemen river.
Hitler, invading at the same
Jimc, carried not merely u column
Into Russia, but a front from the
Baltic to the Black Sea. He, too,
' V ! i
idvanced with success, but faMod
to1 take Moscow or Leningrad.
He, too, was overtaken by winter
and retreated, losing considerable
quantities of material.
But there are differences that
seem more important than I hp
similarities. For Instance, by
Jan. 10 it was all over with the
Grande Armee, whereas it is now
late January and the German lino
is only now falling back on
Smolensk, roughly the hair-way
point. Their line Is not broken,
and though no one any longer lie
lieves that the retreat is strictly
according to plan, nevertheless it
is not n rout; no German army
has been captured or removed
from the fighting; no complete
breakthrough has been accomp
lished. The disaster to the Gel
man armies, though a severe set
hack, Is in no way comparable
with the almost complete destruc
tion ol Napoleon's Grande Arineii.
Further, those who draw the
Napoleonic parallel forget to carry-
It through far enough. They
forget that though his Russian
expedition was a complete failure,
alid Its army almost completely
destroyed, Napoleon threw up the
whole tiling personally in early
Pet-ember, left bis army to its
fate and rushed hack to Paris tu
raise a new one.
By early the following spring,
1S13, he had a brand-new army ol
2H0.0OU moving eastward. That
was easy for turn to do because
much of the loss in Russia had
been sustained by his allies, just
as much uf Hitler's toss in Russia
in Italians, Spanish. Himiaiu
ans, Hungarians and other dupes.
People who like the Napoleon
ic analogy because 11 suggests
Hitler's downhill, forget I hat Na
poleon was back again the follow
ing spring almost as strong as
before, and had to he beaten all
over again.
Also Reward the Good
TTIIIJ reformer usually thinks ol
Improving life in terms of
eliminating the evil things in it,
seldom stopping to think that in
creasing Hie number of good
things is an equal improvement.
Ill the same way, we usually
try to curb law violation by pun
ishing the violators, seldom by
lew-aiding the observers.
Detroit police arc trying tho un
usual course, Ihe American Mu
nicipal Association reports, of giv-
ing "reward tickets" when acts
of special courtesy and considcra-
non on mo roan "i ons'.rven
those same cups whose usual duly
it fs to htind out only traffic tick
ets. Tho plan Is in a formative
stage, and it is hoped to ueveiup
a system of windshield stickers
Jor careful and courteous drivers.
Why not? it Is likely that quite
as much has been accomplished
by rewarding good as by punish
ing evil.
Editorials on News
(Continued from puse 1.)
at the lop who know what is go-
LET'S do a little guessing.
These U. S. troops have been
sent to IRELAND. Ireland is a
ticklish problem. Rather than
permit Hrltish troops in Ireland
the Irish are willing to risk con
quest by Hitler.
Adding It all up, you will prob
ably get this:
The Irish may be willing to tol
erate American troops on their
soil (for their own protection)
whereas they would not be will
ing to tolerate British troops.
pHL'RCHILL, still telling
much of the bad as of the
good, faces a critical parliament
and gets away with It.
He says:
"We shall PRESENTLY RE
GAIN naval command of the Pa
cific and BEGIN to establish ef
fective superiority in tho air."
That is ix plain statement that
1 lie Japs NOW have both naval
and air superiority in the Pacific.
Ht adds: .
"Japanese naval superiority
will last long enough to Inflict
many heavy and painful losses on
tho United Nations In the far
Pacific, hut if we persevere the
boot will ultimately be on the
other foot."
That is a flat statement that
more MUST UK LOST in the Pa
cific before we can hope to be-!
gin to win back
RUT he adds:
"I feel a broadening swell of
victory and liberation bearing us
)() n lol.ured peo)1,.g onward
gAKELy , ,',
goal.'
Because lie has never hesitated i
to tell us the worst and because
in broad outline his predictions
of something helter to come in
the future havo been borne out
people everywhere have confi
dence in Churchill.

Protest Against
S. P. Train Slash
Is Withdrawn
GRANTS PASS, Jan. 29 (AP)
Josephine county representa
tives who joined in an interstate
protest to suspension of South
ern Pacific passenger service
from the Rogue river valley to
California are withdrawing their
objection, Charles R. Cooley said
today.
The cnainber of commerce
president made the announce
ment after conferring with the of
fices ot county Judge and mayor.
"Our formal protest asked only
that some Impartial regulatory
authority determine whether the
suspension of service was neces
sary because of the national
emergency," Cooley said. "Now
that has been done, and the pre
cedence of emergency require
ments declared."
Josephine and Jackson counties
In Oregon and Siskiyou county
in California filed formal pro
tests on withdrawal of the Shas
ta between Grants Pass and San
Francisco,, which left a portion
of the line without passenger rail
service of any kind.
The Southern Pacific stated that
suspension of the train was only
lor tne "duration and that "nor
mal" service will be resumed af
ter that time.
Cooley said the Josephine coun
ty group will insist upon restora
tion of service whenever it may
become feasible by termination
of emergency requirements.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29
(AP)-Lieut. General J. L. De-
Witt, fourth army commandant,
authorized the state railroad com
mission yesterday to withdraw
from public service any railroad
(trains necessary to meet military
demands.
"While we have not asked any
railroad to discontinue any par
ticular train, we have and do in
sist that they meet our demand in
transporting troops and war ma
terials," he wrote president Carl
C. Baker of the commission.
General DeWitt asked that no
public hearing bo held on com
plaint about the withdrawal of
trains from service.
"For obvious reasons," ho said,
"it is not advisable to disclose the
number of troops being transport
ed or the amount of material and
their destinations.
"All of these would have to be
disclosed if a public hearing were
held."

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS
No anthem ever written has
a more historic, inspiring and
patriotic setting than "The
Star Spangled Banner," which
was composed in 1814, when
the United States and England
were at war. After the British
Redcoats had burned Washing
ton, the enemy moved on to
Baltimore, where the soldiers
were to attack by land while a
powerful British fleet formed
for action off Fort McHenry,
at the water gates oi the city.
AU-tfurlnj- '-he nJcht of Sept.
13, 14, the entire fleet concen
trated its fire on the fort, from
whose flagpole flew the Star
Spangled Banner. Francis
Scott Key, from the District of
Columbia, was held as a cap
tive on one of tho British war
ships. As the battle raged
throughout the night, in sil
ence and darkViess he paced
the deck of the ship, wonder
ing whether the flag he had
seen when the fight began was
still flying over the fort. It
was for him a harrowing
night. At last came the break
of day. With strained eager
eyes through the early dawn
ing mist he. saw that the flag
was still there. In patriotic
exultation he poured out of
his soul the inspiring words of
"The Star Spangled Banner."
Later the words were set to
music. The hymn went forth
to sing itself into the hearts of
the then living generation and
of generations to come. In 1931
congress enacted a law mak
ing the song our national an
them, and the Star Spangled
Banner in triumph shall wave
o'er the land of tho free and
the home of the- brave."
Amen.

Posthumous Honor
Medal Awarded
I). S. Army Hero
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 (AP)
The posthumous award of the
congressional modal of honor to
Second Lieutenant Alexander R.
Ninnineer. Jr.. the first time this
highest United States decoration
has been authorizea since tne war
started, was announced today by
ihe .war department
Kiiii.inger, an officer of the
Philippine scouts, was killed In
! action on January 12 on the Ba-
taan peninsula. The citation was
for conspicuous gallantry and In
trepidity above and beyond tho
call of duty. - '
General Douglas MacArthur
recommended tho award, report
ing that Ninninger, whose own
company was not in action, vol
untarily attached himself to an
other outfit engaged in fierce
fighting against Japanese snipers
and sharpshooters who, posted in
"fox holes," were halting a coun
ter attack in which the Americans
sought to regain lost positions.
With rifle and hand granade
Nininger fought his way forward,
killing several enemy snipers and
destroying several groups of Ja
panese troops in the 'fox holes' be
fore he himself was killed.
Whan the positions finally were
retaken by MacArthur's troops,
Nininger's body was found with a
Japanese officer and two Japan
ese enlisted men dead beside him.
The medal will be presented to
Nininger's father, Alexander R.
Nininger, Sr., of Fort Lauderdale,
Fla.
Interest Keen In
Plans to Aid Fund
To Fight Paralysis
Keen interest being shown in
the celebration of the President's
birthday, January 30th, indicates
that both the President's ball at
the Oriental gardens and the
card party at the K. of P. hall
will be well attended, according
to the reports of Mrs. D. W. Hel
liwell and Thomas O. Hartfiel,
chairmen.
Advance sales of tickets are
now under way for both these
events, and a tag day is planned
for January 31st to terminate the
annual drive for funds, with
which to fight infantile pa
ralysis. Tho fact that a Douglas county
man was stricken with infantile
paralysis a few months ago
makes this year's campaign
