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

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

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

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.
