He wants peace as early as it can be obtained. But he maintains, peace can't be obtained from Hitler, for a treaty signed by him wouldn't be worth the paper it was written on. It would merely give Der Beichsfuehrer a b.eaihing spell, in which to prepare for another outburst- probably against Hungary and Rumania the next time. You can't blame John. We don't know just how many times Hitler has broken his word with Chamberlain, but can distinctly recall two occasions. A less restrained, peace-loving and trusting person than the British prime minister, would probably have broken with Hitler a long time ago. So a blanket refusal to talk peace with Germany until Hitler has been liquidated is a natural position for England to take, in fact the only position she could take and maintain any sense of security, or her own self respect. IT'S too bad, of course. It will nf thousand nf hnmnn lives. the youngest and strongest stock in the nation. And but for one fact a NEKDIjESS sacrifice.

KINO HALIFAX, N. fl.. Sept. 18. F) Tale of horror; first In the sudden sinking of the liner Athenla and then In repeated submarine scares as they crossed the Atlantic, were told today by more than 300 sur vivors as they landed here aboard the over-crowded freighter, City of Flint. Clearly the concensus among the mi r Ivors was that a submarine had sunk the Athenla. The captain of the City of Flint agreed. "We almost hit the submarine," ssld Mary Kathyni Underwood of Athens, Texas. Raw Periscope. "We were In a boat with 38 women and only three men, she said. "A little while after we left the Albania's side, we saw the periscope of the submarine and nearly hit It. I didn't see her come to the surface. More than one torpedo was Vat go, accord ing to what other passengers told me." With some of the women dressed In dungarees, some wearing men's shoes, the obviously tired and drawn sxirvlvors were rushed to Impromptu first-aid stations after a roaring wel come as their ship cams into the harbor. The first woman ashore was Mrs John Hayworth of Hamilton, Ont., whose child died aboard the City of Mint of a brain Injury suffered in the sinking of ths Athenla, She was nearly prostrated and had to be helped down the gangplank. Raw Death Hasp. One girl, Elizabeth Brown of Hous ton, Texas, told a terrifying experi ence of being tossed Into the water without a life preserver when the lifeboat from which she set out from the Athenla capsized. "I saw one man gasp for breath and die," she said. " It wa hor rible. Just before the lifeboat cap sired I had removed by life pre server. Mrs. Franklin Dexter of Boston. the former Mlanne Palfrey of the famous tennis family, told how her husband refused to go In the same lifeboat as she did and waited to make sure there was room for others. He subsequently wss picked up and taken to Scotland. The Dextera were returning from a European honey moon. "We felt Just a Jolt when ths ex plosion came," Mrs. Dexter aald. "Oh. It was terrible.

WHITE PATCHES Leuooplakla or leukoplakia la the medical term for white patches on the tongue, the Inner suface of the cheek, sometimes about the geni tals of either sex The thickened. whitish patches, accompanied with some local Irritation and perhaps In creased sensitive ness to heat or other Irritation, are generally painless and cause only a stiffness of the affected part. This stiffness or lack of normal flex ibility or pliability ultimately leads to flssurlng, and tn the course of years ulceration and ftnslly malig nancy (cancerous degeneration) may occur. These white patches are obstinate and difficult to heal. They are some times called "smokers' patches," and It may be true that they are most frequent In smokers, yet certainly leucpplakla occurs in persons who have never smoked at all. By Jova, you're right we don't know what causes leucoplakla. But spare me the wisecracks, please. Is It your fault that no one knows who was responsible for the World war or how to balance the budget? We don't know what causes cancer or Infantile paralysis or Influenza, but from experience we have learned what to do about these diseases. One with leucoplakta must abso lutely stop using tobacco, have any rough teeth or ftlllngs attended to by the dentor, and In long standing case submit to one or another de structive treatment of the patch carbon dioxide freezing, electro-coagulation, actual cautery or radium treatments tn the hands of a doctor skilled tn such work. The penalty of neglect of proper treatment of leucoplakta Is in too many cases- Cancer of tongue, cheek or mouth. When cancerous degeneration begins in a white patch the lesion usually but not always becomes somewhat painful, and swollen "glands" (lymph nodes) or kernels may be felt under the Jaw or In the stde of the neck; the white patch become reddish, vel vety or raw looking. Cancer more commonly occurs in the mouth as a consequence of pro longed slight irritation by a Jagged or broken tooth or a rough or broken denture, without any :'gn of white patch.
