Sunday Morning, Norember 14. 1943 Prica 3c No. 1C3 The literature of . elegy is rich, and those who desire may drink long at its spring. But many when touched by . deep bereavement must v find self-expression. The reading of Milton's "Lycidas" or Shelley's "Adonais" or of Tenny 'son's "In Memoriam" will not suffice. Their souls must pour 'themselves out, it may be in fam ily letters, in poetry which never sees other eyes than its author's, Jn memoirs or longer books. That was how Dr. Carl Gregg Doney, former president of Willamette university, came to write a newly published book "The Broken Cir cle' (Fleming H. Revel! Co., pub lishers). The sudden death of his older son Paul H. Doney, of coro nary thrombosis while bathing at a Maryland beach, affected him deeply. He found occupation for his mind and release for his emo tions in doing. this book which friends and the publishers thought merited printing." 1 It does.

' This book is different from the sentimental memoir which one might expect who did not know its author. It has sentiment, frankly and proudly avowed but not sentimentality. It is not "Ra chel weeping for her children," who will not be comforted. Its tone is pitched in no minor key. The Doney faith is too strong: a major chord is dominant, as in the quotation from Bunyan which closes the introduction: : So He Passed Over And the Trumpets Sounded for Him On the Other Side."

KING LONDON, Nov. 13H43)-American Flying Fortresses and Libera tor bombers, protected by Thun derbolt and Lightning fighters, fought through swarms of Gee man fighters, thick clouds and 50-below-zero temperature today to batter the vital port and commu nications center of Bremen.

Take Control Of Lebanon By ROGER GREENE -LONDON, Nov. 13 -VFf The British government made it clear today that it was ready to seize control quickly in Lebanon if nec essary to protect ' the strategic middle east following reports of clashes between the French and Lebanese nationalists.

While the French-controlled Beirut' radio announced that the situation in Syria and Lebanon was quiet and charged that re ports of disturbances were "en emy propaganda," . the British showed , that they definitely did not share this view. Although British officials de clined to say whether Britain might, employ armed forces In the crisis, news correspondents were told that they could not exaggerate the Importance the' government attaches , to main- talning order in the' near east. Particularly, it was emphasized, I disorders cannot be permitted in this vital area, for which British troops are responsible. The Brit ish are understood to have made this plain to Gen. Charles De Gaulle's French committee of na toinal liberation in their protest over the arrest of Lebanese lead ers this week by the French. Gen. Georges Catroux, com missioner of state of the French committee, who promised the Lebanese their Independence from the French mandate in 1941, was hurrying to Beirut from Al giers in an eleventh-hour attempt to settle the explosive crisis. Gen. Catroux is expected to stop in Cairo to deliver Gen. Charles De Gaulle's reply to T a vigorous protest by Nahas Pasha, Egyptian premier, against the ar rest of the Lebanese president and cabinet members and the dismis sal of the newly-elected parlia ment and the establishment of a new government.
