A Rome dispatch reports "Ital ian troops are driving relent lessly through the bllKtcrlng heat of British Somaliland." The forces of II Tinhorn Mussolini always drive "relentlessly." They "relentlessly" captured two passes Sunday, both undefended. I'LL SWAN (Siskiyou Calif.)

Vandals operating in north ern California stole a back yard potato crop by digging their loot. This is as unusual as stealing a woodpile, first cutting the wood. The president of the Rcjclis-J bank and Nazi economist agrees with Col. Lindbergh, the rich are too much so. All signs indi cate it is "Wrong-Wny" Corrigan and "Wrong Talk" Lindbergh.

The amateur mountain-climbers continue to defy dentil whore a Hocky Mt. goat would not stroll, to be saved by Providence and forest rangers. As Dewey Hill, the Prospect outdoor man once told two cousins from the Middic-wcst, filled with the urge! to shin up a peak "If you boys Just must climb, yonder is the barn with a nice flat roof, and don't use any ladder.

Berlin's denial is only added evidence. For that has been Hitler's technique from the first to convince the enemy that no matter how tough the going may be, it's soon going to be worse. TPHE report of the first day's fighting is typical of re 1 cent war communiques, and there is every reason to believe the pattern will be continued. Great Britain claims at least 60 German planes were brought down and only 26 lost. Berlin claims 89 British planes were shot down, falling "like shot birds out of the sky," while only 17 were lost ! Judging the present by the past, the British report comes nearer the truth than the German. But in all likelihood both are far from the mark. As a well-posted Canadian newspaper man re cently told the present writer, air casualties are so heavy on both sides, so much greater than in the last war, and so much greater than expected, that nei ther side dares tell the truth. The high command in both countries fears if the facts were known, national morale might crack. THIS may or may not be correct, but there is con- siderable evidence to sustain it. And this much is CERTAIN. No war, aerial or otherwise, could ever be conducted as successfully as the Berlin and London war offices claim. For without exception now for nearly four months each side has claimed its air losses have been only a small fraction of its victories. That has been true, day in, day out Obviously nothing like that could ever happen. There would be bound to be a few days, no matter how superior the air force, when the enemy would get the better of it, each convicts itself. U. S. Blitzkrieg Doesn t VES, the Blitzkrieg over there has started. But the political blitzkrieg over here hasn't, as yet It may start this coming Saturday with Mr. Willkie's speech, or it may not But when it does, look out! Unless all signs fail it promises to be hot, hotter than a fire-cracker crossed by a blow torch. For this, too, will be a war to the death, a war between the haves and the have-nots, a war for the control of a continent. The fact that the conflict will be political and therefore a SHAM, rather than a REAL battle, will not modify the intensity of the feelings, at least not much. So, don't worry, there will be plenty of frightful ness, plenty of oratorical carnage, plenty of humbug and nonsense. AS things are shaping up now, both sides will claim they are fighting for the survival of democracy and the American way of life, and strange as it may seem, both sides will believe it. Both sides will also claim if the other side wins u mey win, it will mean peace. Both sides will work hard to gain the offensive and maintain it For whether the conflict be political or militaristic, all experts agree that to be euchered into a stabilized defense means defeat In this direction, obviously, Mr. Willkie will have all the best of it For the Democratic party has a record which he can shoot at, and the Republican party hasn't And he will shoot, have no fear of that Moreover, he won't shoot in the fashion to which BYer' Donkey has become accustomed of late, in other words he won't adopt the Harding-Coolidge-lloover-Landon scatter-gun technique. His shooting will be sharp, unconventional and to the mark. "So What?" IN this direction, the reply of Oliver A. Quale, Jr., treasurer of the Democratic national committee, to Mr. Willkie's charge of violation of the Corrupt Prac tice Act, should be noted, for it so cTanhioallv svm- bolizcs the psychology of which resulted in the rcnomination of President Roosevelt The Republican candidate declares the solicita tion of paiil advertisements for the Democratic cam paign book, as approved by Boss Flynn of New York. is a Violation Of the II.

I don't think he stands a chance!" THERE you have the real keynote of the Chicago 1 convention, as so persistently sounded by Mayor Kelly, its real boss. Boss Kelly received plenty of complaints regard ing the way he ran that sad and sordid affair but to all of them he turned a deaf ear, for did anyone deny that if Mr. Roosevelt were renominated the Repub lican candidate wouldn't have a chance? Not a word to justify his methods. No denial they were those of a cynical, corrupt, loop-district boss. Rut results are what count "ain't they?" And what Messrs.

OXYCEN FOR CORONARY THROMBOSIS Angina pectoris means quin sey of the chest, heart pang, the Latin word angere meaning to choke. Emo tion often pre cipitates an at tack of angina pectoris in one subject to coro nary disea: anger particu larly. John Hunter,., fam ous Sco 1 1 i s h a n a t omist of the 18th cen tury, himself a subject of coro nary disease, said "my life is in the hands of any rascal who chooses to annoy me." A bad example the doctor set. Passing the buck. Coronary arteries are the ar teries which convey blood from the great artery or aorta just beyond the aortic valve to the muscle of the heart wall itself. The most favored theory is that the attack of angina pec toris is due to spasm of the coro nary artery which restricts the quantity of blood delivered to the heart muscle. However, no body knows whether this is actu ally so, for of course it is no time to operate during a parox ysm of angina, and post-mortem examination cannot determine whether the coronary arteries were spasmodically constricted before death. Whether coronary spasm is or is not the cause of the pain, a more plausible explanation for the symptoms of angina pectoris is anoxia, insufficient oxygen delivered to the heart muscle. The same cause, anoxia, would account also for coronary occlu sion (shutting off of a branch of the coronary artery altogether) or coronary thrombosis (clotting of blood in the coronary artery) in many cases. Coronary thrombosis has been observed at autopsy in many cases of carbon monoxide gass ing, and of course the serious or fatal effects of carbon monoxide are wholly due to crowding oxy gen out of the tissues or cells, in short to anoxia. Difficult breath ing, gasping for air, palpitation, cough and pain in chest over the heart region are familiar symp toms of such coronary throm bosis. Administration of pure oxy gen continuously for three or four hours, with interruption of inhalations for fifteen minutes. then continuation of inhalations Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 12.

In many cases perhaps inhalations of carboxygen would be better pure oxygen mixed with 9 to 7 per cent of cabon dioxide. The cabon dioxide is nature's own stimulant to breathing. Natural breathing, that is bel ly breathing is particularly beneficial to persons subject to angina pectoris or coronary disease. Such persons should practice it regularly at least last thing at night before falling asleep and first thing in the morning on awakening.

' By Frank Jenkins "ERMANY, serving notice that she is prepared as well for a long war as for a blitz krieg, announces that her own food supplies and those of the Balkan states are ample to last through the winter and adds that the fate of the people in the countries she has occupied is no great concern of hers. pERMANYS story is that Britain egged Poland, Nor way, Holland, Belgium, Den mark, France, etc., into resist ing Germany's demands and so is responsible for whatever fate, including impending starvation, may have befallen them. Britain's position is that Ger many, having conquered these peoples, is responsible for feed ing them. About all that can be proved is that war is hard and cruel and relentless. (Also that if you don't defend yourself nobody else will). WHERE we come in: " If we feed the starving peo ple of these conquered lands, we help the Germans. If we refuse to feed them, we help the British. We're in the doghouse either way. GETTING back to Rumania's story that Russian seizure of crops in Bessarabia and Buco vina has deprived Germany of food she might have had. it confirms the already obvious fact that Stalin is taking all the gravy. PGYPT is preparing to change - from passive alliance with Britain to active military co operation with British forces in Africa. Egypt, in for trouble anyway, chooses to fight rather than be merely- passively fought over. HPHE fighting in Egypt is in- teresting because men have fought in Egypt ever since there have been men to fight. What they were fighting for back in those dim centuries before his tory began no one now knows. Who will know a few centur ies hence what this war was fought for? McLeod McLeod, Aug. 12.

THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNER (Continued from Page One.) grabbing the ball of the world crisis, and running with it for all he was worth, the president would attempt a strategy of tem porizing and delay. The succeeding weeks con firmed the first impression. When preparing his earliest re quest for supplemental defense appropriations, the president at tempted to hold the appropria tions down to the incredibly in adequate sum of $300,000,000 and had to be persuaded by for mer Secretary of War Harry A. Woodring, of all people, to al low more for the army. Each of the succeeding supplemental re quests seemed to be wrung from the White House almost by main force. e e IN the same way, the president al lowed It to appear that ha waa crowded, as' It were, into naming Messrs. Knudsen, Stettlnlus and their colleagues to the defense commission, and Into giving them full powers. The Chicago convention, with its shuffling compromtsea, lta timid management, and lta general drear iness and boredom, was only the national cltmaz to what had gone before. Nor had tha presidents tem porizing and delaying coma to any end even now. Every Informed per son knows that ha strongly favors lncressed aid to England, and that I he regards passage of a conscrip tion bill as absolutely vital to the national security. Yet nothing positive has been done so fsr to aaslst the English In their death struggle, and the conscription hilt ta 1lb1v n hava K.H tmithla In th. a,nate and ru tn the hv,. buM, while endorsing the princi ple, the president hug not put the heat on at the capttol.

Is acute ly aware of the desperate danger of tha tlmea ahead. Therefore ha must know that while temporizing may appeal to the unawakened tn the present brief lull In tha world con fllct it will turn out to have been the worst politics In the world when the times of danger awaken the peo ple at last. The explanation, surely, la deeper than mere presidential politics. After a year and a half In which he had concentrated all his Interest cm for eign policy, the battle of France suddenly showed the president he waa wrong in hla foreign policy's central assumption, that there waa plenty of time for this country to prepare to help the alllea. Surety such a discovery aa that would put any man off his stride. - It would explain the repeated fail ures to respond quickly to the event. It would explain such strange Ineptl tudea aa some of the president's re cent political statements. It would even explsln the Influence of the great apoetle of temporlr4ng. Harry L.
