"For CoiiVcience'Sake" ... : While last month the people of the state and , ration were called on to invest their m6ney in bonds -with the assurance their money Will be returned to them with interest, this month they f are invited to give of their means for ' most worthy causes, local and national. The United War Chest combines the war welfare and re lief appeals, except the Red Cross which corr ducts its own campaign for funds in. the" spring, and the local charities long covered by the Com munity Chest. Thus in a single effort the funds for recognized and necessary agencies and caus es will be raised through the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and the cooperation of thousands, of contributors. j Surely, this year, no urging is needed that people support the War Chest The need is so apparent, the value of the service so evident, and the ability to contribute so general' that it ; should require only a comparatively short time to fill the chest to overflowing. For there ' should be a universal feeling, that it is priv ilege to join hands and dollars in such: an en terprise. "For conscience' sake might really be a slogan, because those who refuse or fail to contribute will most certainly feel uneasy in their hearts over their default in responding to humanity's call. ; s , ; ; The work of local agencies, especially those dealing with the youth of the community Is ' well known. It is also universally recognized that these agencies are more necessary, nor;- itive rather than negative domestic policy, stres than ver before to build moral dykes gairct. g the need for a competitive system of en the tide of juvenile delinquency. The shocking Herprise, an economy of abundince rather than crimes of juyeniles.in this state, and.lo--;,. agriculture a labor plan: which is list of minor offenses should startle the people -iconizing rather than punitive and divisive, into realization that the war creates -and cooperation of industry and government to IiCUiT social prooiems on me .flouw uunu wujuj., need to be met with the very best forms; of -child guidance, recreation and directed activity. Those agencies depend very "largely" on funds from the Chest: for their sustenance; ; ; ' Likewise are ev here familiar-with ihe war. work -which now - calls for jfinancial provision through the Chest -We have two USO centers in Salem, which"-are financed; out of "the Na--; tional War Fund;' made up of ttielocaf contribu tions. The city: would be. helpless without these two attractive centers, and the service! men sta tioned here would be left in dire straits. Now realize that these .USO Reenters , are scattered 11 over the country at army posts and camps, that through the USO entertainment is carried; to men overseas, right up behind battle-lines, and then you wilt appreciate how important it is to give your financial support' through the War.: Chest for the USO.

Bleacheritis and the War . - .... : i I - Most anyone will concede that wa lot of what it takes" is required just to earn the right to wear a big league baseball uniform, even though merely as a rookie substitute sitting in the dug out. Yet nearly 'every individual who has at tained the distinction of becoming a "regular" has also, experienced, j some, hot afternoon, the - jeers of assembled thousands of bleacherites. He has muffed a ground, ball which took a "bad hopVor he has struck out in the clutch, and there arises the scornful chorus, "Take him out, the bum.. Of those who scream their dis gust, scarce one if plumped in the player's shoes could even have started after that batted ball before it passed him. or caught a hazy glimpse of that fireball third strike. " j Bleacheritis is a national disease. But it should be noted that its basic symptom is not vocally expressed intolerance of failure, but unthinking blindness to the game's demands and steadi ness of nerve and sustained effort. f .'. In wartime, a nation afflicted with bleacher-" itis does not change its habits of thought and judgment. Especially if, figuratively,! there is a screen to keep batted balls out of the stands. Sitting safely at home -and viewing the game with aid of newspaper or radio, the bleacher ite Is blind to the inherent difficulties and even in a sense to the perils of warfare. i Thus the bleacherite Is quick to assume, and in positive tones to declare, that a campaign such as that In Sicily is "a breeze" and to pre dict in advance that conquest of Italy likewise will be a "soft touch." He comes to view aerial bombardment of Germany as routine, even to the point of virtually; Ignoring the brief state ment that a dozen, or even sixty "of our bombers v failed to . return-V.? j r?;' J ; : j ;;t j.i:z :':Z :. Soldiers at the front are frequently quoted as expressing disgust over the unwarrantedly op --played "back home." There is . Willkie's Speech By PAUL WASHfl6TON, . . senate - sub-committee compromise on a post war . ... in encouraging . Itoremployecl roj .. ConnaUy of craftily sounding out each individual senator for the administration on this proposition which has been seldom mentioned in public dis cussion. Mr. Hull, for instance, has only gone in his speeches as far as saying some sort of power must be used to keep the peace. s The satisfactory compromise resolution does not . follow those lines, but neither does it conflict with ' them. Its careful words say only that the United States should act "through constitutional processes" to Join "free and sovereign nations" in an Inter national authority "with power to prevent aggres sion and preserve the peace." The 'constitutional processes" presumably means ' that whatever Messrs. Roosevel and Hull nego tiate with the other nations must be confirmed by the senate, as provided in the constitution. The "free and sovereign nations" phrase could restrict the league considerably If a literal in terpretation of Tfreedom" is followed. (Is Russia Free? Canada? India? The rest of It could mean what Mr.' Hull has In mind: .. Actually, 1t means nothing specific The only real excuse for passing such a generalized reso lution is that the administration wanted something on record, from congress to prove to the British, Russians, and other nations,' that congress this time would not be Isolationist as the senate was after the last war.. , , . As republicans and democrats are joining in its broad statement, it may serve that purpose. But it does pot assure senate approval of any de tailed post-war peace program henceforth. ' You will recall the last post-war senate over whelmingly favored a league, but broke up over details of its authority. The greatest detail issue be ing the use of economic and military sanctions. The unity which the action bespeaks, therefore, may possibly have been over-Interpreted. Under neath no one seems to have given ground, certain ly not the administration and presumably not the isolationists, although some of their extreme mem bers are likely to fight against even this undefined promise of sympathetic consideration for whatever . Messrs. Roosevelt and Hull devise. 1 The resolution is like, more than anything else, a plank in a party platform, presented in round and. glossy phrases, the true meaning of which can only -rest In the Interpretation. which the presidential candidate gives It later in specific statement Plat forms generally are forgotten as soon as written. Neither is this a declaration of the congress as a whole. Wow It can never be that. The senate crowd thought Sol Bloom, the house foreign affairs chairman, had usurped their exclusive prerogatives as a treaty counseling agent of the president by getting the republicans In on the Fulbright reso lution which was a Joint resolution to be passed ' by both houses. , complaint on wm never go to every hand that folk, oil the home 1 front are not' matching in their devotion to the national objective, victory, the effort and sacrifice of the fighting, men. - j . -. t' - r . Lack of adequate news picture of the fight ing is blamed and it may be, in fact almost , certainly is the case that much of the news is written by ! bleacherite reporters. But funda mentally, the trouble is the disease itself, blea cheritis which being translated, means, "thoughtless lack of appreciation." i Wendell Willkie's address in St. Louis. Friday : night may be regarded as a curtain-raiser for his campaign for the republican presidential' nomination. He made some excellent points which need emphasis. First he pointed out the danger of perpet uating a dynasty in power: "For power so long held breeds within itself certain abuses which will ultimately destroy a democratic society." Second, in the field of international affairs he urged that the United States exercise the. leadership entrusted to it by the peoples of the world and join with Great Britain, Russia and China in forming a common council embracing at first all friendly nations and later all the nations. He warned against making offensive and defensive alliances as indulging in power politics which will lead to disaster. Third, he outlined the general terms of a pos- minimize the fluctuation in expenditures . for durable goods which is responsible for the wide swings in the economic cycle. Mr. Willkie has made his general position clear. He has taken high ground. Will other aspirants to the presidency meet him on that level, or try to win in the back-stage poker game of politics? ' News Behind The Mews MAJLLON October l6 The satisfactory resolute n evolved from an entirely different' one which was carried around by Foreign Relations Chairmen Ccrmally in his inside pocket for the past-two weeks.; "The text of the original resolution was not made public but It was supposed to represent what Sec retary of State Hull has in mind. Basically, it proposed an. International organization along the lines of the league of na tions, empowered to impose what displomatic phraseologists call "economic and military sanctions', on - non-conformist nations or aggressors. : "Sanctions" is a word drip ping with honey, but, it means ,Paoi MHn the use of force.

By KIRKE L. SEMPSON An old ally of the United Na tions, deadlier In battle than the guns and bombs cf man-made . war, is again deploying its forces this mid-October weekend. " Another Russian winter is close at hand to cut at '.the wavering Dnieper "blood "wall' of nazi Invaders, to slash with icy blasts and numbing cold at the ' foe, , perhaps - to turn , another German foreshadowed retreat into a greater disaster than crushed Napoleon's grand army on the same bleak sweep of 'west-central Russian plains. . The worst winter of dread IliU . ler has known In Russia is at his ; i throat. It could ' do more than , . Russian or allied fighting power, for all the year of unbroken vic tories, to break the will of the German people and tumble na? 2ism to the doom, that fascism has met and Is . closing in on Ja- panese militarism. - It can no - longer be , doubted that the vast Russian summer offensive ' which has swept the' nazi foe back across the Dnieper : was Moscow designed from its inception In July to merge with out a break into another Russian winter attack. : Allied apprehen-S sions that red armies would ex haust themselves and afford the foe opportunity to ' brace and - stock, new defense ' lines have . proven unfounded. 'There has' been no halt any-3 ' where in Russia since July to give the enemy a breathing spell. V . The great retreat to shorten : nazi defense lines has been 'skill- , fully managed, but it is not over ' by every sign. It has not short- ened the 1200-mile fighting front from the Baltic to the Black sea, ; only the supply lines In the cen- ter. The German high command needs more, not fewer troops, to hold that battered "blood wall" already virtually" split in two by . the Russian leap beyond ..the riv er near the Pripet mouth to the ' eastern rim of the Pinsk marsh es. ' ; Moscow reports no sign yet of a German evacuation of the Cri mea or the badly dented Dnieper bend front Both are menacing" traps that could engulf and de stroy greater enemy forces than . ' were overwhelmed at Stalingrad when the Russian inarch to the Dnieper began last winter. It is beyond, military - comprehension ; that the Invaders dare risk much : 19M5 Musie. . : 7 11 AO Army .

Bet nowhere is it so bright, so fraugk.t with tremendous possibttities in the months just ahead, as in Rut- ia. And It Is there that the great est ally of them all, another Ru sian winter, is marshalling fcr new action that could bring o a the decisive battles of the war in Europe before spring comes again.'-;. . ' (Continued from Page 1) tactics are still the subject of study In military academies. He put his Weaker troops, Spanisli, and Gallic infantry in the cen ter, his heavy African infantry and. fine Numidian cavalry cn the j flanks. He tempted Varro, the Roman commander, to at tack. Hannibal's center gave way, giving the Romans the ilhisic n of victory. Then the" African infantry hit them on the flanks and the cavalry from the rear and once more the Romans were crushed, with nearly 70,000 of their soldiers killed on the field. But just as after the battle of I a k e Traseminus, Hannibal failed to exploit his victory. In stead of marching on Rome, which was In panic and defense less, he turned aside to Capua, which opened its gates to him and his army, its gates and its pleasures. "After Cannae, he started on the down-grade and his record, thereafter, is one of discouragement and final defeat.- . , ' - Intrigued by the mystery as to why Hannibal failed twice to seize Rome when it lay almost Unprotected before him, Robert E. Sherwood gave his imagina tion range and wrote the dra ma The Road to Rome." I saw the play when it was having its run In New York in 1927, with Jane Cowl in the feminine lead and .Philip Merivale as Hanni bal. A very good, modern treat ment of some rich historical and biographical material, the spe cial episode being Hannibal's de cision to swing to Capua instead of proceeding to level Rome and ravish its Inhabitants. One can read the play and learn what Sherwood's Imagina tion supplies as explanation of Hannibal's change of direction. (Hannibal has Issued orders for his generals to post their forces for the attack on Rome, and they return to headquarters to. report tney are prepared): Hasdrubal: The army Is ready to -attack ..... Hannibal: The Carthaginian army Will proceed at once to Capua Hasdrubal (wildly); i We're not go ing to Rome? I Hannibal: No we're not. .HdruI:.Wt to ef all the god Is the matter with you?

The two finest of leers in your army. They know what it would mean to turn back now. They hav en't lost control of their senses. Maharbal: The trouble with you. air. is that you know how to gain victories but not how no use them. That last protest of Mahar bal's is historic: "You know how to gain victories but not how to use them.' In any war there Is always the dread portent that it may also , be prophetic. m I I ins gruviCaTAfATTS FAYOZXTS GIFT Ne sift has received mors fa vorable comment than thess beanUfBl waterproof, shock proef wrist watches.
