The place names, Cannae and
Capua, recently in the news stir
fuzzy memories in the minds of
men and women .who sometime
tor other have studied Roman his
tory. Cannae was the scene of one
' of ancient Rome's worst defeats,
at the hands of Hannibal and his
Carthaginians, and modern Capua
is near the site of the ancient city
of that name where Hannibal's
army became enervated ' in jthe
dalliance of Capuan luxury. Gen
erals Clark and Montgomery are
truly treading in the paths of his
tory. Like Hannibal they have
won victories; unlike Hannibal
they will not fail to capture Rome
though they will enter to rescue
it and not to destroy it. Later
there will be sleek diplomats ' to
extol the attractions of seductive
. Capuas. r;:;'; V -H' ;Vl:V-.
" . The British eighth "army cap
tured. Cannae on the easterly side
of j the"; Italian ' peninsula several
days ago; and Capua was the
scene of violent fighting last week
as the American fifth army sought
to secure a bridgehead across the
Volturno river. Since every pro
fessional soldier studies the cam
paigns of Hannibal there is no
doubt that Montgomery and Clark
know they i are keeping rendez
vous with history as they fight
their way on the road to Rome.
'.The odd thing about Hannibal
is that all. we know of him comes
from his -enemies. As one of his
biographers, v William" O'Connor
Morris writes: -""We do not possess
a letter or a dispatch of this extra
ordinary man; we have no Car
thaginian records to tell us what
he was; we . know ; of , him only
from the reports of his enemies,
who, while they could not deny
his powers," feared and hated him
through a succession of centuries.
Yet enough remains; to enable his
tory to assert that he was a mighty
genius m . his camp and in coun
cil, that he has certainly not been
surpassed as a warrior .
t Hannibal, as; you recall if you
brush the cobweb out of your
memory, led his" armies out of
Spain and across the Alps, getting
his African elephants across riv
ers on huge rafts and over the
high passes of the mountains,
though not without loss. After
some early victories he ambushed
and utterly wiped out a Roman
army at Lake Trasimenus. Rome

John L. Lewis, asking striking
coal miners to go back to work,
told them today he thought the
war labor board would approve
next week an industry - wide

earnings about $1.75 a day.
In telegrams sent to local un

United Mine Workers president
declared that this was his "con
sidered personal judgment" as to
the board's probable action. He
urged the 25,000 miners idle in the
two states to go back to work on
Monday,
' Other principle labor develop

- President Koosevel t established
a new three - man emergency
board to reconsider wage demands
by 1.100.000 j-ailroad workers

men and other so-called non-operating
employes. A predecessor
board scaled the employes demand
for 20 cents an hour increase down

decision on the grounds that an
8-cent raise would violate the gov

steel handlers who bave been out

Fresh moves developed in con

would require United Nations ac

Appealing to the j senate for

Bloom (D-NY) of the house for

that congress in 1910 took a "far
stronger" stand I for outlawing
war than the proposal presently
contemplated. -
Simultaneously, a . senate bloc
assailed the postwar resolution
approved by a senate foreign re
lations subcommittee s as . "vague
in its commitments," and pro
posed alteration of ' a section
which advises "that ithe United

When the medals are passed out

will be an injustice if the Willa

major credit belongs to "the kids.
Of course the Mexicans helped.
