V o 1 u n- teers are the answer and these men take on the same tasks and face the same risks as the pro- xessionai lire fighters. Their al truism and courage make them noteworthy product of Amer ican life. They train for their Job, study the latest methods of fire con trol and, better, of fire preven tion. Last year there were fire schools in 42 states and 30,000 volunteer firemen attended them, Think of what these men save the tax-payers. Conservatively, it would cost the country around a billion dollars a year to maintain the men and eaulD ment of the thousands of volun teer organizations. Yet these charges do not appear on the tax lists of the 60 million cit izens whose lives and property are protected by volunteer com panies. The small town volunteer fire department is a democratic group of Independent citizens, banded together for the com mon good on a principle as old as the town meeting. And when and not until the last vol unteer company disappears, we may really begin to fear for tha institution of self-government Next Monday Mr. Whitlock of the Earl Whltlock Funeral Home will comment on "Enjoy Your fellow Men."

But the nazl propagandists have revived the obsolete word "viktoria," and are now putting out a campaign to the effect that "V" stands for GERMAN victory. That la fairly dependable proof that they are worried. "pHE British are retorting rather cleverly that since the Germans themselves approve chalking up "V" signs, nobody needs to fear any longer to join the campaign. yHERE is ample historical evl dence that in all slave-holding countries the MASTERS have been subjected to constant worry over the terrible things that would happen U tne SLAVES SHOULD RISE.

Armed with tommy-guns, re volvers, tear gas and hand gre nades and with the rain in creasing to lower visibility, the Americans rose from their posi tion and rushed a sentry guard ing a gap in the wire. He was overpowered and ruled dead. The Americans poured through the gap, tossed tear gas bomb through a window and knocked down a door. While half the guardsmen watched over the staff, others dashed upstairs to seize map which they, said would be invaluable In actual battle, orders and oth er army documents. "We had to giv them back their maps and orders," an American chuckled, "so they could continue the exercise." The Americans, organized months ago and regularly drilled, made up the only home guard unit participating in wide spread maneuvers, of which the successful attack on me air drome headquarters was one phase. "Yank DoodI" Some of them paunchy, they gathered to enjoy the spectacle of British officers being irussea UD. The British proles lea insi me attack "came too early." The Americans quoted field orders showing that they attacked at the first moment permissaoie under re ulations governing the maneuvers and said the Ger mans will not wait either."

Opposition Seen The steps which the chief ex ecutive took to undorscoro the administration's desire for ex tended sorvieo during a period of world crisis was considered to somti extent an acknowledge ment of a strong opposition ox Istont in congress. Compromises have been advanced. But Mr. Roosevelt snld he was not asking congress for specific language in a specific bill. He said that he hoped the legislat ors "will acknowledge this na tional emergency either for a specific period or until revoca tion by the congress or the presi dent." The objective, he declared Is the all Important Issu. The chief executive said ha was confident men in the ranks realized better than the public the "disastrous effect" which would result from permitting the present army to melt away and set back the training and ex pansion program at least six months. Noting that last year's selec tive service legislation definitely provided that the one year train ing program could be extended by congressional action If a na tional danger later existed, the president added: "I do not believe that the danger to American safuty is les than It was one year ago when, so far as the army was concerned, the United States was in a woefully weak position, I do not believe that the danger to our national safety Is only about the same as it was a year ago. "I do believe I know that the danger today is Infinite ly greater. 1 do believe I know thot In all truth we are In the midst of a national emergency." In addition to recommending continued service, the president said ho thought congress also should remove restrictions on the number of selectees inducted each year. The limit now Is 900.000. He also urged congress pro vide that employers be naked to continue keeping open jobs for men who havo been held In the army. He promised to direct the re turn to civil life of those whose retention on active duty would "impose undue hardship" and that guardsmen and selectees who had become 28 would be transferred from active service to a reserve component of the army as rapidly as possible.
