Cm Mali Trtnuue want tdl, - - Before the Dawn FROM the allied standpoint thing! look pretty dark in Europe. The Polish situation may not be desperate as Berlin dispatches indicate, but discounting them and taking the allied reports at their face value, there seems no chance of saving Poland, or the important industrial portions of it, from German domination. , The French and now the British continue to advance aiong the western front, but there has been no major engage ment there as yet, and until there is, and one overwhelmingly favorable to the allies, the hope of drawing any considerable German force from the Eastern front- is exceedingly slim. ' PVEN more depressing than the above, are the persistent reports from Russia, that Soviet troops are in force along the Polish border, and clashes with the Poles have already occurred. We can't believe Stalin is going to actively engage in this war on the Nazi side, or any other, but until the exact situation is definitely clarified, this possibility is the most alarming threat, in the entire military picture. ' HOWEVER we doubt if the situation is any more discourag ing than it was a quarter of a century ago, when the grey clad German hordes were marching on Paris. The Kaiser's steam roller went through Belgium even faster than Hitler's has gone through Poland, and on paper at least, there was nothing that could save the French capital. Yet by some miracle it was saved' and in the end Germany was beaten. , . e e e. e . e NO doubt Napoleon was right when he eynioaHy observed that God is on the side of the heaviest battalions. Cer tainly no one can deny that force, superior force, won the world war, as it has every other. . On the other hand, who wiH deny that the allied force, ultimately PROVED superior, BECAUSE the cause it supported was RIGHT and as a result it finally secured, not only the moral but the material support of the civilized world! 'a (eeoeo IN other words while right doesn't literally make might, it does, doesn't it! attract might, ajid thus in any world conflict the moral imponderable at long last does become the determining factor- in the final outcome. At least in spite of the "united and malevolent order of cynics incorporated", that is the conviction of this department, and one to which we shall cling So let's cheer up and instead ing present, remember what happened after the dark days of 1914, and keep our eyes on the After all this isn't a new doctrine. And it is the traditional American doctrine, as expressed darkest days of the Civil war: . "Let us have faith that right makea might; and In that faith let us to tr.e end, dsn to do our duty ss we understand It."

In 1150 it was captured and forti fied by Pomeranian Dukes' and turned into a seaport with a lively trade in fish and amber. In 1282 its ruler returned it to Poland by the historic Donation act, Teutonic knights seized it in 1308 to augment their military-religious Baltic realm. "The fourth turn of the wheel of fate left Danzig a Free City in MM, under the protection of Poland. At the first partition of Poland in 1772, Danzig was left a Free City sep arated from its hinterland, which Germany absorbed. In 1793. at the ,eeond partition, Germany took Danzig. Napoleon upset the Baltic apple cart in 1S06 and spilled Danzig out into a Free City status again, for less than a decade. In 1S14 Danzig be came a German city, and was the capital of the province of West Prussia when the World war brought about the ninth reversal in the old port's history.

Calif. THIS PVORRH I sincerely believe that an Inferior ity complex, due largely to the mere fact that they atlll maintain sep arts schools Instead of closing their anachronous snd u n w a r rantably expensive separ ate schools and returning to the medical e 1 o o 1 where they be long, la now a serious bar to progreaa In Amer ican dentlatry. It would be ridiculous, if it did not concern the health of millions of peo ple, the way the dentors shy off or pipe down In a study or discussion of the pyorrhea problem ss soon as they realize they are getting over Into the province of the physician Pyorrhea Is not merely a local dis ease of the mouth, gums, tooth sock ets, but In ths composite opinion of nearly all authorities It Is primarily a general, systematic or conatltu tlonal condition, and the consensus today favors the view that It la main ly a nutritional deficiency, with sup peratlon and septic Infection aa sec ondary consequences or manifesta tion. In earlier allusions to pyorrhea I have given such suggestions aa I have been able to glean from the available scientific literature and by word of mouth from practicing den tors, especially relating to adequate dally Intake of vitamins C, A, D and B-complex. and the particular foods which nre rich In calcium and phos phorus. Of course these factors are more Important In prophylaxis or prevention of pyorrhea, although they are of prime Importance In treatment too. Being as Ignorant na the next per son of the technical aide of dentistry, I leave the technical treatment of pyorrhea to your own dentor's skill and Judgment. I have said all a mere health advisor can say about It. Eugene Talbot, M.D., D.D.S., dis tinguished oral surgeon, advised den tists (It was before my time) to ap ply to the gums and teeth before and after every dental operation or treatment a atrong solution of sine lodld and iodine In glycerine and water. . He, and many others who followed his. suggestion, found this treatment especially valuable, applied by the dentist once a month for The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Released by The North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc. WHINOTON, .Sept. 14. While their enemies are celebrating the banishment of the new dealers, their leaders are quietly passing the word that all Is well. These announce ments that the new dealers are on their way out are an old old story, with an old, old ending. In this Instance, the hopes of those who dislike the new dealers were raised by tho Influx of outstanding business men to taXe emergency Jobs In Washington, and by the curious Intimation of White House Secretary Stephen Early that reorganisation of the White House staff meant the "brain trust was out the window." These signs and portent not only encouraged the new dealers' enemies; they also disquieted leaders of the group to a point where two or three of them actually went to the presi dent and asked him point-blank where matters stood. The president's reply was extreme ly reauurlng. There seems to be little doubt, therefore, that Messrs. Thomas U. Corcoran and Benjamin V. Cohen. Harold L. Ickes, Jerome Frank. Leon Henderson, Ieador Lu bln. Robert H. Jackson and all the others will continue aa usual to trot In and out of the White House back door In a suspiciously free and eaay way. Their Influence cannot be said to have declined tn the least. The most that can be made of the change in the governmental picture Is that the president, understanding the need for national union in a dangerous time, has associated with the new dealers men representing different patTema of thought. The inclrtent is more Important than the average tempest in the tea pot of vvashliKton palace politics, for its future significance is consid erable. The new deal group is not limited to the men above-named. It consists of three or four hundred government officials, of whom per haya fifty occupy important admin istrative post, while the rest are sub ordinates In various legal divisions, statisticians, minor economists and the like. They are the president s most faithful personal followers (the real source of their strength), and. becauxe of thetr influence on policy, their omnipresence In the administra tion, and their general stlck-to-lt-iveness snd stlck.tcvetherness. ire far and away the mont powerful group In the Rovernment. 1't.rlW .

Sharing the government Is not a new deal talent then. too. th larva iwmit. ment of business men recalled the days when the spokesmen of Wilson's "new freedom" were crowded into the background by other business re cruits, tn another dangerous time. A story was being told Jokingly, but very wryly, of how Morris L. F.nt th prankish liberal lawyer, stuck his neao round a new dealer's door ay: "Pardon me. but can you tell me if Mr. J., P. Morgan's Washington of fice Is on this floor of the treasury?" Still more striking than the fact of their having been given is the character of the president's reassur ing words. It was Indicated that much too much meaning had been attached to the selection of business men like Edward a. Stettlnlus and John Hancock for the war resources board, and the recent additions of conservstlve economists and dollar-a-year men to the treasury staff. The Impression was created that. In pass ing on the new appointments, the president had merely accepted at face value the recommendations of the departmental officials concerned Much Is being made now (probably too much) of the fact that the Infil tration of business men has been localized, as It were. In the treasury, war and navy departments. It is even understood that. If a reel emergency arises, executive pow ers will be withheld from the war resources board group and confided instead to the presidential henchmen and high officials who have always run the government before. This is true In part. Several members of the new deal group have already been warned of their assignments If foreign affairs reach a more acute stage. At the same tme. It would seem likely that the new dealers may be Indulging in a little of their enemies' wishful thinking, for cer tstnly the president cannot hope to meet a real emergency without sub stantial representation of business among his active helpers. As for Early's intlmstlon thst the "brain trust was out the window," it is said to have been followed by a reproof, and has been subsequently explained as Intended as a crack at Professor Raymond Moley. whose memoirs are currently irritating the White House. At any rate, the Infer ences drawn from It were not Justi fied. Patrhunrk Suit Prlred V OR LAND, Wyo. (UPl Pete Peloff.

When landed, their Job Is to discover the location of Polish headquarters, airports, war supplies, factories, warehouses, etc. THE scheme is an application of 1 modern machinery to the ancient business of spying. It was experi mented with somewhat during the first world war, but was not used extensively then. The Russians are reported to set considerable store by It, and news reels showing extensive Russian prac tice maneuvers designed to perfect its technique have been shown In this country within the past ye-..-or two. They are referred to In the dis patches as "suicide corps" because most of the Germana thus dropped from the sky are said to be dressed In Polish uniforms, which means that if captured they will be shot as spies. THE German liner Bremen Is re ported to have acquired the status of an Italian vessel and to be steaming toward an Italian port. (Report not definitely confirmed.) This means (If true) that the ves sel will be used In the Indirect service of Germany unless some thing happens to push Mussolini off the fence where he Is sitting at present, engaged In the ALWAYS DANGEROUS enterprise of playing both ends against the middle. THE Duke and Duchess of Windsor are back In England, and the re porters are using quite a little space on the crowded cables to describe what both are wearing. This writer has a feeling that the duke is more than a clothes horse and that soon the correspondents will be reporting what he la DOING. When that time comes, he will doubtless be wearing the simple field uniform of his country Instead of the gaudy tailor's nightmares so often worn by royalty In time of war. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT calls a speclsl session of congress to meet September 21 to consider "neu trality" legislation specifically the repeal of the existing embargo against sale of munitions and imple ments of war (including airplanes) to nations at war. Here's a prediction: The embargo, after much fiery debate, will be LIFTED, because If It Is lifted business In the United States will be better, and If It Isn't lifted business WON'T BE 80 GOOD. Communications Hopes Brldfes Is Bight To the Editor: In your "Too Smart to aet Caught." (1th. Aug.) you well ex press what may be the feeling of the majority of our moulders of public opinion on Bridges. But being human, they erred never were they entirely right. Time was when they believed th world to be flat and warned the venturesome not to sail too far out. lest they fall off Its edge. This Idea was the result of rea soning from too few facts and from direct observation. These explain why many of our crackpot Ideas are Just that. Many of the ideas about Bridges aijd the forces that he per sonifies are that and for the same reasons. In sociology, direct observation is usually the cause thst leads us astray. Things are seldom what they seem quite often the opposite, para doxes are everywhere. Its economic forces are subtle, obstruse, recondite Everywhere (almost) we fight tor what Isn't good for us In the long run, and against what Is. This Is notoriously the history of organized capital. It Is Incapable of taking the long view. Were It capable. It would not oppose the liberating forces of social evolution which find expression in the struggles of the workers for higher standards of liv ing and tn such acts as the Wages and Hour Act. These tend to pro long capitalism and with It. of course, the master and slave rela tionship, a relationship so subtile thst even only a few of the best minds are aware of itl One of the outstanding contradic tions of modern economy (It ha reached lt ultimate form in the war now beginning) Is the fact that sll of the bosses' (lion's! share of' the products of labor cannot be consumed by him. his family or in conspicuous waste. That part that cannot la convened into the money i form and la salted sway. One dollar! of "salted" money throws out of circulation hundreds of dollars of wealth.

FOR the Job of industry-labor co ordinator, acouts have been re porting on William S. Knudsen, pres ident of General Motors, an organi zation already well represented on war resources board.

He had his dlfflcuH.es with CIO strikers,' sit down and otherwise; believes a union should respect a contract as faith fully aa an employer dozens of "quickies" were pulled on him after he had signed agreements with the union. Parenthetically, a former high vummunlst testified before the Dies committee that these "quickies" were Inspired by Stallnltes Just to cause trouble. Feelers have been made among In dustrialists as to how Knudsen's ap pointment would be received by them. No objections found from that quarter.

FADES AS ART DAVENPORT, Iowa (UP) Develop ment of a 0-foot Mississippi river channel resulting In an increase on towboat operations on the upper river has disclosed a shortage of good pilots. Navigation companies report that plenty of positions are open at pay well above $300 a month. Board, room and laundry are furnished. The major drawback to piloting Is the hours Involved. On a round trip from St. Louts to Minneapolis, for Instance, the pilot may get away from the boat about 24 hours. Some times there are shorter periods of freedom when the boat Is docked at a terminal. Then, too, on the upper river a pilot usually draws pay for only about nine months. In some cases a barge line will guarantee a 10 month salary. 4 Boys Boycott Girls. LOY ALTON. Nev.
