War Tediniqnc It has been increasingly evident" in the last few months that 1940 is not 1914, any more than 1914 was 1901 or 1870 or 186L. Where the allied jrenerals prepared at the outset for a rjrimarilv defensive war. which would be dominated Dy err pat nprmanpnt concrete emplacements. imDresrriable to land attacks of the sort used in the last war, the Germans concentrated on the develoDment of firreat motorized armored forces, each self-sufficient in point of command and supply, and each individually capaDie oi tremendous sinKinj? lorce. The result, thouph the conflict is not yet wholly decided, is apparent in the sudden thrusts across Holland and Belgium and onto the Flanders Dlam of northern r ranee The technique of the German attack is well explained by Louis Lochner, Associated Press correspondent with the Ger man armies. He writes: An air squadron first determines where enemy troops are moving. It learns exactly the strength of the enemy's forces, their equipment, types of weapons and other details. With these tips, reinforced by photographs, the Stukas (dire bombers), followed by heavy bombera. dash upon tbe en emy. They smash towns, if necessary, through which troops are poshing, demolish- railroads, telephone lines and industrial plants, demolish railroads, telephone lines and industrial plants and destroy marching columns. The air information serrice tells tbe mechanized units where the bombing baa been successful and, with terrific speed, these forces dart into the face of the eenfased enemy. Mobile land units follow through. Then the main army is reedy to occu py the positions. So thoroughly did the Germans prepare for the campaign that they hare exactly-fitting substitute bridges ready for erery strategic rirer or canal crossing in Belgium or France likely to be dynamited or damaged. This ready-made equipment is brought up In reinforced cars. Such methods are as revolutionary, in their way, as the clothyard shafts of the English at Crecy and Poitiers; as breath-taking as the pummelling of the round-shot across the field at Pa via; as devastating as Gustabus Adolohus mus queteers who decimated Tilly's Spanish squares of pikemen .at Breitenfeld in 1631. They imply a reversal of the military tactics of trench warfare first elaborated by Grant and his men before Richmond, and brought to the highest pitch in the long:, weary months of stalemate in the first World war. In their place they establish, as Winston Churchill remarked Sunday, a war of movement and of smashing blows across great distances, so that the blitzkrieg strategy revives Napo leon's dashes from Strasbourg to Vienna, from Saxony to tyoscow, and rejuvenates the fighting methods of the Ameri can generals who tracked across this and other western states after marauding Indian bands. The German war method is one of rapid movement and smashing blows, in which the offensive force relies on its speed and protection behind armored plates for personal im-4 munity, and air power to assist in its preparatory blows. This much has become clear in the first eight months of battle. Yet there is no proof that the mechanized attack of the Germans may not be met with new air and ground techniques which in large part nullify its present advantages; one can only re mark that if such techniques are to be elaborated, it had bet ter be soon. Mother' Boys Home It is not necessary to question the motives nor the hon esty of the persons who are operating that peculiar institu tion known as "Mother's Boys Home" in our midst, fn order to question th merit of its appeal for public support as a charity. It must be apparent to anyone that there is an unwar ranted discrepancy between the size of the overhead organ ization, with its solicitors, trucks and exchange depots, and the number of juvenile beneficiaries, reported by a States man reporter to be three as of last week. This discrepancy may be explained away by the fact that the institution is "just getting started," and one is not disposed to quarrel with any reasonable explanation. One is reminded that Father Flanagan had his difficulties in getting Boys Town under way and the role of obstruction ist is not a pleasant one. The meat of the issue is this: That the sponsors and managers of Mother's Boys Home are strangers in our midst, men Who admittedly have no past record of experience and success elsewhere in the type of welfare work to which they now aspire. If their motives are sincere they should by all means 'obtain the support and supervision of a local board of trustees made up of known, trusted citizens who will advise the opera tors of the charity and see to it that its accounts are audited. Until some such arrangement is completed The States man feels it a duty to advise those citizens who like to know for certain that their charitable donations are administered constructively and in the manner intended, that there is no such assurance in the case of Mother's Boys Home. There is a real need for every charitable dollar or dime that the public can sDare. It is our' conviction that th dimes and dollars may with better wisdom be turned over to well-established, recognized and properly-supervised insti tutions, oi wmcn tnere is an adequate number and variety u pfxiorm me neeaea cnari table work or the community. Complaints in Justice Courts It is news to this column that any private citizen may not go before a justice of the peace in Marion county and swear out a criminal complaint and thus start the wheels of justice moving. ; That justices of tbe peace will refuse to accept such com plaints unless they have the approval of the district attorney wue iu iignt wnen jne iiDei complaint which Kobin Day sought to file on Monday was rejected by the Salem justice and t latest account, held up by the Silverton justice pend ing an approval from District Attorney Page which appar- cuuy w not i or incoming. . 1 Aa for the libel action, we must confess the utmost disin terestand if we were interested it would not be appropriate to discuss it. . ? That we have heard of, no similar instance in the past and that in this instance the district attorney's failure to ap prove is based upon his own indirect connection with the case an entirely praiseworthy attitude, so far as that is con cerned tends to indicate that in practice this policy has not in the past prevented any warranted prosecution. , , is however in the abstract a poor rule if the district attorney is privileged arbitrarily to bar a complaint without Indicating that it is in some manner faulty. Admitting that our inadequate knowledge of the law has been acquired, such . is. entirely bv ear it still seems to us simple justice thai every citizen be privileged to complain formally of his neighbor acts if he thinks they are cnlawfuLI Bits for Breakfast Br R. J HRNIiHIt K3 Police Warnings s j Every newspaperman whose duties include the -police beat occasionally receives a request to publish a warning 5er4Lafter such-and-such ordinance will be strictly en forced. The newspaperman always comnlies, quoting the offi cer so as to keep his own conscience clear and always with tons-ue in cheek. For the warning is an admission that such-and-such ordinance has not heretofore been enforced, and experience impels him to doubt that It will ever be enforced. Salem has had an ordinance on the books for lo, these many years, forbidding the nuisance known as dmirl nark ing. Occasionally there has been a sporadic attempt to enforce it, usually accompanied by an excess of officiousness while it More about -early . , - 5-22-40 Oregon postofflces and locations ot Salem postoftlee In the old days; - V- - ContinnLnjc from yesterday:) To Indicate what an exciting; time was that May - 17. 1865, day. when Beale and Baker were hang ed In Salem It is sufficient to say that while the sheriff of Marion coonty, Samnel Headrlck, had general charge of the hanging, the fall membership of the crack local militia. company, then call ed Marlon Rifles, was present, and busy In handling the great crowd in keeping order. L. 8 Dyer, father of Conn ell Dyer of Sslein, was captain, bat was not able to be present, so Samue May, next In command, official ed. He waa the grandfather of Karl Steiwer, chosen Republican candidate for sheriff ot Marion county at the November election Mr. May was at the time secre tary of state for Oregon: had the office in the 1162-70 period. Tne moments preceding the swinging into eternity of the two men were so tense that strong men fainted; and probably strong women, too. Frederick Q. Schwat ka was then a printer on The Statesman, at that time in the Griswold building. That enter prising printer published a book containing the confessions of the condemned men. and sold many copies to the crowd: part of the profits going to the families of the condemned men. V Most readers know that Schwatka became the great Arc tic explorer; wrote and publish ed important books concerning tne Far Pnortn. theretofore more of a terra incognita ( unknown land) than at present. The Scwatka family was prominent in early day Salem. But about the . mother who took her children to her father's home, so that they might not see or hear anything of the hanging. Toward evening, she went back home with her brood, and. mak ing ready the . start toward pre paring tbe evening meal, she threw out the coffee grounds and tne cold coffee of the previous meai and. to her horror, found she had poured the contents of the coffee pot onto the coffin or Baker and over his newly made widow, who was part In dian!!!, The long time readers of this column know that relatives of the Baker family claimed his body, and took it home and bur led it near the Marion and Clack amas county line in the Molalla section. A resident down that way has promised to show this col umnist the exact spot, some day when, if erer. he has the time. No one claiming the body of Beale, the pioneer, Daniel Waldo, after whom the Waldo Hills were named, took it in his wacon and hauled it out for burial to his donation land claim. Up to lately, the little rail fence en closing the spot was plainly vis ible from the public road passing macieay eastward toward Shaw and Silver Creek Falls. Sarah Strang was the maiden name of the mother of Mrs. Pearce. She was a sister of the Pioneer. Ben Strang, and a daughter of Daniel Strang, of tne great 1852 covered wagon Immigration. Members of the Strang family were prominent and influential In the old days." Sarah Strang was married to A. J. Riely, an old time printer, who was employed oo the early newspapers, and in doing the work of the territorial and state printers. After A. J. Riefy's death, his widow -was very prom inent in Salem, aa she kept one of the first class boarding houses of the capital city, at that time thoroughly appreciated. Tne Sa lem Directory of both 1871 and 1874 locate her place at the cor ner of Court and High streets. S The maiden name of Mrs. George J. Pearce was Mary Ellen rueiy. bne was one of the first girls in Salem to learn the trade of printer. She came by the trade naturauy; it came down from ner lather. ane worked on some of the pioneer newspapers: the first one Mini the Salem Mercury, of which one of the earliest edi tors and proprietor was the fam ous uoionel BUI Thompson. wLom Governor GrorVr sent as nis personal representative to the Modoc war, to help round up Captain Jack and his band. Col. Thompson died not long since at Altnras, Cal., aged well on to ward tne 100 year mark. tm .m r" our tne oia time printers Of Salem did not call their sister crai is woman Mary Ellen. She was to them Nell Riely, and she was one oi me best in the trade here which is saying a good deal; for she worked for E.

He gsve the Walte electric foun tain to Salem. , Nell Riely was working in the state printing office, in tbe 1890s, when Frank C. Baker, state printer, moved his plant Into the old state house the one that burned down the night of April 25. 1S25.

News Behind Today's News By PAUL MALLOH v WASHIXGTOX, lay 21 Tins cork oa the tip of Colonel Lind berg's rapier did not cause the Roosevelt administration to miss the point. Tbe air ace's thrusts were accepted as criti cisms of Mr. Boosevelfs goal of BO.OOO pLusea, anlnst tbe pres ldent'a failaire to adopt a clear area defense policy, am against the measuring of air-line dis tances Is the president's speech which seemed to Imply tbe United State is wide) opesi to immlrM'nt lnrasion. Undbergjb, therefore, drew the issne of what this proponed f 1,182,000. 000 Is all about. -A search inside here for the basic reasonins behind Mr. Roose velt's proposal contributes these following facta to the debate: The Roosevelt program is de signed mainly to muster a few thousand more planea and army equipment ot all types to prevent the possibility of anyone establish ihg a base In the western hemis phere, particularly on our weak Atlantic side. The fleet is taking care of the Pacific, but with the Panama canal .vulnerable even to aa ho tare, the fleet cannot be re lied npon la the ' Atlantic. The president's military advisers think our nrlmary need, therefore, is enough bombing planea to prey out In the Atlantic npon any naval force moving to establish such a base. No misunderstanding exists within officialdom concerning the realm to be defended. It runs from Newfoundland down the Atlantic beyond the West Indies around the southern tip to South America to Hawaii. Midway and Wake Island to the Aleutians. This territory Is so vast it will be . impossible for many years to fortify It with battleships or other equipment sufficient to guarantee security. 1 So the a d m 1 n i s tratlon haa worked up the theory that tbe im mediate need is a fast movins: mo bile force of all types of aircraft and of land forces. This mobile force would not be pinned to any one defensive point butcould be shot around from this country within the arcs of our realm to any point at which attack la aimed. That's the theory Mr. Roosevelt's associates say be nay hare let himself so a little too match la his 50,000 plane figure. They concede Lind bergh is right oa that. If Chat many planes were built la a hurry, tbe first would be obso lete before the last were launched. What the president really wants first is expansion of airplane rjaanafactarliig ca pacity to its utmost la all lines. The Initial stages of the pro gram which Mr. Roosevelt has dis closed vaguely In his message will not come anywhere near accom plishing either of the outlined ob jectives. Only 200 long-range bombers " of the flying-fortress type, particularly adapted for hemisphere defense, are' to be built under it. Ten times that many would probably be required to guarantee the result. Nor has anyone here apparent ly done much thinking along Lind bergh's line of agreements with the Latins to use .their air fields. They have merely assumed it could be done If the need arose, and It may be done now that the suggestion has been 'made.. The auggestlon of air f 1 e 1 d a along the Canadian and Mexican borders is not considered feaaible by the authorities here because they Intend to defend the country beyond those limitations. As to the imminence of any challenge of our sphere, no one here cm see It right abend, but they see questions of defense for the future cast right at their feet by the crumbling of old Kuropeau defenses. There will alwaya be agitation from American lnternationalista trying to Involve ns la Europe's political quarrels, Just as there 111 always be pacifist aritators who believe peace lies in lack a. average Washington opinion, in congress and in the administra tion, which wants no part of E a ro pes d politics but the best national defense it can "provide for Itself by , efficient and calm manage ment. ' ...j"- What that is. may and should be a continuously; debatable ques tion. Britain anLFrance not onlyr h&Te new conceptions now of their defense values, I but hare now, changed horses in the middle of a' torrential stream to get the best they could. On the whole, noticeable evi dences here indicate the always excited Interventionists have been calm somewhat by the latest trend of European events. Tbe shock seems to have sobered them Into attending closer to their own knit ting, x " While some of them have been writing and broadcasting their views from here, they seem to rep resent their own personal wishes of administration .policy, rather than objective analysis ot It. I Nor are there many government officials openly trying to Une the critical defense situation to pro mote the third term and their own personal political ambitions. Only one public pronouncement has been made along that line since the bad turn ot affairs for the al lies, the speech of Interior Secre-. ' tary Ickes In New York.
