Editorial Correspondence
Fredericksburg, V., Oct. 13. Yes and iff Friday the 13th!
But our luck hasn't been so bad thus far.
When we came through here last February on the R. F. and C.
en route to Miami, the place looked so interesting from the car
window we vowed we would stop the next time out.
So with the zero hour for Washington, D. C, approaching we
forced our way Into a Greyhound bus this morning and came
hither.
And Fredericksburg IS one of the most Interesting places we
have ever seen. Moreover the day has been gorgeous, the first
touch of Fall since we arrived in the East, the air crystal clear,
the sun bright but not too warm, and we have Just returned from
a two hour motor trip over the battlefields of the surrounding
terrain.
Battlefields, like dramatized novels, however, are Invariably
disappointing. It was true with our visit to the battlefield of
Waterloo many years ago, also when we took in Gettysburg, in
1934. And for the same reason. The actual scene, and the sensa
tion created, are far below the long cherished products of the
imagination.
Yet we never fail to look them over when opportunity offers
and no doubt will continue to do so. Rather like some people
regarding side-shows. They can't resist them though they have
never seen a good one. They always think they are going to
THE NEXT TIME.
We don't know Just what we expected. But we do know we felt
let down. Perhaps because our earliest recollections historically,
were concerned with a book entitled the "Boys of '61", and some
highly exciting Civil War stories by E. G. Trowbridge, where
the hero was a Union spy in one volume and a Union drummer
boy in another. Therefore when we set out to look over the
battlefields of the Wilderness, Chancellorsville and Spotsylvania
Court House, we were prepared for the thrills of youth again.
Well, anyway, it was a nice trip and as before stated a perfect
day, even though the expected thrills never came. No, we couldn't
see the boys in blue, or the boys in grey In their hand-to-hand
sanguinary struggles in the Wilderness, perhaps because it WAS
a wilderness, and a peculiarly colorless and uninspiring one,
scrub oak and pine, flat as a pancake, and for miles and miles not
a sign of a living thing, an animal or a human habitation! There
were a few signs, however, to show this was where General, Grant
started the march that didn't end until the surrender of the Con
federate force, and told the apprehensive Abraham Lincoln that
he was going to fight it out on that line, if it took him all summer.
Chancellorsville and Spotsylvania were more interesting,
high rolling country, set off as part of the National Park system,
and dotted liberally with accurate and interesting historical de
scriptions of Just what happened at this point and that.
As some of the original trenches, also the gun and rifle pits,
are still In evidence, while many others have been restored, one
could better visualize the struggle. But even so somehow Trow
bridge's drummer boy refused to come back to life again, which
was very disappointing.
Our guide and chauffeur didn't help any, when he took a
cigarette out of his mouth long enough to point to a rock and
observe that was where Stonewall Jackson was shot, and then at
a shaft of granite about a hundred yards from it, as where "he
fell." Curious, we got out of the car to examine the rock but could
find no mark on it of any sort, the monument did recount the
shooting of the great Confederate leader by his own men.
Just to test out the moronic capabilities of the alleged guide
further we asked him if Stonewall Jackson was on FOOT or
horseback when he was killed. The young man answered he
didn't know. Up to that time he had known all the answers
regardless of what the history or the guidebooks might have said,
about It.
Fredericksburg was far more Interesting than the battlefields,
because here one could visualize the past, it wasn't merely a
bit of countryside like any other countryside. The Princess Anne
hotel for example where we had lunch, dates back to 1785, when
it was known as the Barton House, the home of Washington's
ambassador to Great Britain. In entering through the old colonial
portico (restored) one if Impressed by the list of distinguished
guests, emblazoned above, Daniel Webster, Charles Dickens,
General Robert E. Lee, Lloyd George and Winston Churchill, a
list that might come under the heading of anti-climax in the
New Yorker!
And after luncheon we could fairly see the ragged Continentals
under Washington, eating a boiled leather boot for their noonday
meal. A more terrible and uneatable mess of "wittles" we haven't
encountered in many a moon.
but when it s as cold as a bloodhound s nose good night!
Only a few blocks away, we ran Into James Monroe's law
office which was built In 1786, and remains today precisely as it
was at that time, with the exception of the furnishings which
have been collected by his descendants, and to view which the
charge Is one-quarter of a dollar. It was this collection which
induced Mrs. Herbert Hoover to "restore" a James Monroe room
in the White House modern artificers being so skillful they can
restore practically any colonial antique, so all but experts are
deceived by it.
We would have liked to have talked with some old resident of
Fredericksburg before departing, but have to get back to Wash
ington for a dinner date, so must catch the 4:45 bus. Again we
will have to force our way In, no doubt, if "Greyhound" doesn't
pay a dividend regularly then there's a nigger in the woodpile
somewhere. From coast to coast It is the same story, busses on
well travelled routes art always crowded. Here In Washington
they run In three and four sections, day In day out!
We wonder how It would feel to go down to one's office every
morning, In an atmosphere like this, past the house where
George Washington's mother, Mary, lived, beneath the famous
horse chesnut tree the first President of the United States himself
planted, and on to the home of John Paul Jones, and for good
measure, that noon perhaps, stroll a few blocks down to the
Rappahannock river, about the size of the Willamette neat
Salem, but an olive-yellow color, where In 1862 the Union forces
under Bumslde, were decimated by the armies of Lee and Jackson,
when they tried to cross.
It must do SOMETHING to a person we should think, nut
perhaps those who live here never give a thought to it. anymore
than we do at home when a covey of quail, sweeps across the
road, barely missing the radiator cap! R. W. R.

I can learn, are "cramps" from

"cholera mor

In the same
category as
tne village bar
bershop myth thaf if you place
a hair from an horse s tail, or
even a human hair, in a bottle of
water, in due time it will turn
into a snake. Probably most boys
and girls today smile at these
childish beliefs of most grownup
people fifty years ago.
Today the first thing parents
think of when a boy or girl has
a belly ache is appendicitis.
Since people generally have
become aware of the fact that
the appendix is situated in the
southwest portion of the abdo
men a good deal of misunder
standing, confusion and unnec
essary alarm is occasioned by
misinterpretation of the signifi
cance of belly ache.
Altho the appendix is in the
right lower corner of the abdo
men It does not follow that pain
or distress due to inflammation
in the appendix is felt in that
same southwest section.
On the contrary, the pain or
discomfort (often it is not so
much pain or ache as it is a sense
of great tension or compression)
usually occurring with the on
set of appendicitis Is felt In the
"pit of the stomach," that is, in
the middle of the belly (front
wall of abdomen) well up In the
north temperate zone. Only after
the appendicitis, if that is what
the belly ache means, has pro
gressed considerably does the
lower right quadrant become
tender or painful. This is a lit
tle lesson in safety first for
every one remember that the
belly ache of appendicitis does
not begin in the southwest but
rather in the northmidsection.
If the ache, pain, soreness or dis
tress Is felt on one side It Is un
likely to signify trouble In the
appendix.
Another little lesson In safety
first which every one ought to
learn is this:

Capital
Parade

American Newspaper
Alliance, Ino.
Washington, Oct. 18. People
watching the senate dealing with
the neutrality act are beginning
to ask, "When is a filibuster a
filibuster, and when is it not?"
The inquiry has all the dreadful
possibllties of the medieval
scholars' argument about how
many angels could stand on the
head of a pin.
The facts of the situation are
pretty plain, however. Al
though violently disclaiming the
intention of filibustering, the
senators opposed to repeal of
the arms embargo are exhibit
ing a propensity for oratory
which is unusual, even for sen
ators. Just about everything
there Is to say has been said
already, yet virtually every
member of the opposition is giv
ing the public the benefit of his
views, and frequently at the
greatest possible length.
Certain senators are expected
to speak more than once, and
two or three are said to have
several speeches on this chests.
By now, the repealist leadership
has abandoned its hopes of quick
action, and hardly dares antici
pate a vote before the end of
next week.
Filibuster or no filibuster,
there is certainly a great deal
of talking. The object can hard
ly be to convince the senate,
because, in the first place, sen
ate votes are rarely changed by
debate, and. in the second, no
one Is listening anyway. Day
after day, the senate chamber
grows emptier and emptier.
Meanwhile the opposition leaders
privately admit to hoping that,
if senate action is sufficiently
deferred, opinion in the house
will change enough to endanger
embargo repeal there. No doubt
Brady, M D.
BELLY iVCHE
In any case of belly ache If
there is any suspicion or fear of
appendicitis it is dangerous to
take a laxative or cathartic.
Should the trouble actually be
appendicitis, the effect of laxa
tive or cathartic is to aggravate
and perhaps increase or hasten
spreading of the inflammation.
In the statistics accumulated by
careful study of this question
over many years we have con
vincing proof that the wisest
management of acute belly ache
is quiet, rest, no medication un
less or until medical attention
is procured, and especially NO
PHYSIC, and of course no ene
ma or injection in lieu of physic,
for the effects, increase in peris
talsis or intestinal activity or
movement, are the same
spreading of inflammation, great
er chance of peritonitis (general
inflammation of bowels) which
is the fatal outcome of append!
citis untreated or improperly
treated.

the senatorial character is one
: reason for the endless talk. An
, other is this private hope of an
upset in the house.
In the house, the outcome Is un
questionably less certain than In the
senate. So far as can b. discovered,
not a single senate vote has shifted,
one way or another, and It la atlll
a pretty good bet there will be 65
vntes for repeal of the embargo
Sixty-five votea mean a two to one
majority for repeal. So far. no re
sponsible person has been discovered
who Is willing to predict an actual
house defeat, but aome wise guessers
put the repealist margin at only 10
votes, and the average predictions
run between 30 votes and 40. The
house Is a large body, and these are
not majorities to Inspire great con
fidence. Furthermore the anti-repeal lead
er are probably right In believing
that time la on their stde. The re
peallsts are gaining nothing by delay,
and It Is a maxim of legislative, as
of other kinds of warfare, that, when
you are not going forward, you are
actually losing ground. The house la
susceptible to panic. The Coughllnlte
and other anti-repeal mall haa given
members an excuse to become pan
icky. A they sit In their offices
wondering about the next election
and worrying about the letter-writers,
men who would normally favor repeal
Incline to change heir minds.
Nevertheless, the confidence of
the repealist strategists still seems
to be well-founded. Their problem,
so far as the house la ronrerned. Is
to obtain a reversal of last session's
vote on the Vorys amendment. This
amendment, which embodied a pro
posal similar to Herbert Hoover s ban
on offensive weapons only, was em
bodied In the Bloom bill by a vote
of JU to 173. with about 40 members
absent or paired.
Repealist strategists expeot to t
a majority of the votea of the men
who were not recorded on the Vorys
amendment. Supposing, however, that
these votes are evenly spilt, they still
need only 32 additions! votes to win.
The number la small, and reports
continue to come In of changes In
different state delegations. A Repub
lican has plumped for repeal in Ohio,
and four Republl.dns and a Demo
crat have done the same In Iowa.
Converts are being made among the
Pacific coast representatives, and In
New Jersey and New York. Even In
Kansas, where the Kansas City Star's
poll shows a remarkable repealist
sentiment, a couple of votes may be
picked up.
Hoover's and lliidberch's Indorse,
ment of something like the Vorys
amendment is a decided dlssdvan- I
tage, but there are also new ad-
vantages on the repeal side. The j
90-day-credH controversy, a teapot I
Tempest, but a thre,itenlns one. has
been hsjitlly settled In the aer.d'.e i
Tie problem or Wo treat restriction ,
on shipping u alio being wisely dull
with. When th senate get through,
repeal of th embargo will probably
be the only point at luue. If the
senate majority for repeal la any
where near what la expected. It too
will have Its effect In the bouae.
Altogether, the tight ha not yet

To the Editor:
If murder Is a crime, does it
help any to kill by wholesale?
Our laws holds the instigator
and the spectator that does noth
ing to interfere equally guilty
with the perpetrator. That
doesn't leave much room for
the neutral. He is about as valu
able as a jellyfish.
A man that does not know the
right when he sees it, and will
ing to stand for it, is not worthy
to be called a man.
When I hear some of the de
bates in Washington by our sup
posed representatives, I have to
wonder if we really are an in
telligent people. Those now rant
ing on isolation, neutrality and
pacifism, and their like, are the
real cause for the war-mad con
dition of the world today, and
they are trying to repeat.
Do you know if our govern
ment had joined the League of
Nations and helped to turn it
into a World Federation similar
to the United States in prin
ciple, it would have put an end
to war forever'
Talk about isolation, pacifism,
neutrality, or war regulations Is
all nonsense. You might as well
pass a law to stop murderers
from shooting below the belt.
War will never stop as long
as nations are allowed to carry
arms. There must be only one
armed power .and their sole
duty to keep the peace, and en
force the decrees of the world
supreme court.
Are not Hitler, Stalin and
other dictators in the same class
as Al Capone, Dutch Schultz,
Tom Pendergast and John Dill
inger? And should be treated
In the same manner?
There are enough right-thinking
people to rule this world
according to a majority rule, and
as it should be, if united and
given the proper leadership.
Free them from this dreadful
scourge of dictators and even
the Germans are human and
would readily respond to the
golden rule.
Can you not help to unite the
world with one thought: Banish
war forever?
Yours truly, s

AT THE moment, the phase of
the war that- is most im
portant is the German attack
on British shipping both naval
and merchant. Its purpose is to
wear down British supremacy
on the sea to the point where
the blockade may be broken.
IT WAS British supremacy at
sea that defeated Germany
in the first World war. It was
British supremacy at sea that
ultimately strangled Napoleon.
It has been sea strength that
has kept Britain supreme for
centuries.
Whether it can be broken
with the new weapons now
available remains to be seen.
There can be no doubt, however,
of the importance of the present
German effort.
llfHAT is really happening re
" mains obscure. The Ger
mans are boasting loudly for
two obvious reasons to build
up morale at home and to TEAR
DOWN morale in England and
France.
The British are almost pain
fully reticent. Whether their
secretiveness Is good strategy
can not yet be determined.
There is always the chance that
too much secrecy may lead the
British people to jump to the
conclusion that the Germans are
doing more damage than is ac
tually the case.
What people will believe when
they know that full information
is being withheld from them is
always a curious study.
ANOTHER-mercy murder" is
reported from New York,
where a father killed his step
son because he feared the child
would go insane, like his mother.
The trouble with these "mer
cy" killings is this: Who is to
make the decision? This writer,
for example, thinks he knows
quite a few persons who might
be better off dead, but would
hesitate about having SOME
ONE ELSE'S judgment along the
same line applied to him.
IJERE'S a war angle that is
good: (It has been reported
vaguely in the press several
times, but has been little com
mented on.)
The German government (Hit
ler) is REPATRIATING (which
means bringing back home) Ger
mans living in Russia and in the
small Baltic states over which
Russia has been extending her
influence.
Why?
Well, Stalin has probably been
watching the Hitler technique in
seizing countries with German
minorities and has said to Hitler:

a blow at the growers of the Oregon-Washington
area. Not too
much confidence is placed in the
department of state in the cur
rent penetration of South Amer
ica, because the administration
sold the lumber industry down
the river when cementing good
will with Canada.
First of the trade agreements
to come ud since the war ar
now being negotiated with Ar
gentina and Chili. Pacific North
west products nlared i
are livestock, wool, turkeys,

tural and animal products.
The list gives an Idea of the Impor
tance In which the Latin American
program la viewed.
THERE was ' some hope by th
lumber Industry that the South
American business enjoyed by British
Columbia would be diverted to Wash
ington and Oregon on the assumption
that because of the war British ahlpa
would withdraw from the trade. How
ever, at the suggestion of the state
department, a 300-mlle aafety zone
has been approved, by the Panama
conference, around South America
and within this line ships of th
belligerent can operate without fear
of attack. By this agreement, British
Columbia lumber can still be ex
ported to South America, providing,
of course, the safety belt la recog
nized by belligerents.
APPREHENSION" expressed here
by representatives of the animal
and farm products that the best th
producers of Oregon and Washington
will get will be the worst, when the
agreements are adopted. Should th
treaties, when made public, disclose
that agriculture la receiving the ahert
end. opposition will he formed to
resist the administration's coming
proposal that the Export - Import
bank be authorized to extend credit
amounting to several hundred mil
lion dollars to the Latins.
Objections may also come from
the army of Americans who have
invested their savings in South Amer
ican bonds on which Interest ha
ceased and the principal defaulted.
Owners of these worthless securities
are numbered by the thouaanda In
the northwest.
