It's a fine sentiment, but cnot quite true, jl think, be- j cause, for the last generation S family life has I sort of been on J the toboggan land the nation 1 has been doing .pretty well. I thank you. But I it is true, that life does benefit a nation im measurably. And it wouldn't do any harm to try to bring back the family spirit which used to be so strong and which has weakened of later years.- - ' Most of us can remember wnen life began at home. And It stayed there until the natural mating instincts of the young folks scattered their interests. But home was the firm thing that endured. I don't know what caused that. Maybe it was those old sea shells on the Whatnot in the parlor. Maybe it Was that crayon portrait of treat grandpa that glared down from the walls. Criticize those homes, if you want to, from modern interior decorating standards. But from the stand ard of human living they were pretty splendid. Nobody wants to turn back the clock and take on the many inconveniences of those earlier days. But it would be good if, somehow, we could have again that strong home influence that used to dominate American life. Next Monday Mr. Whitlock of the Earl Whitlock Funeral home will comment on Wanted SEEPS. 01 AXIS DEFENSES r s 1 f. v WARNING!

It was said that the army has long been con vinced that it would have to take full control of Germany if the nation were forced to tight a defensive war. Since Hitler was reported left as the nominal head of state un der the new setup, the transition apparently has not proved diffi cult and was not likely to cause repercussions like those which followed the resignation of Ben ito Mussolini in Italy. Try to "Win Peace" (The reported developments In Germany were characterized in London as a "desperate Ger man attempt to "win the peace even though the war Is lost." (The London Sunday Dispatch warned that a military dictator ship would have the full consent of nazl party chiefs. "The nails would just go underground and re-emerge later," the paper said. (The paper also expressed be lief that Hitler's removal was. in fact, accomplished several months ago. (Other London comment ex pressed the view that the shift was nothing more than an at tempt to shove the nazl party and Hitler Into the background in an effort to gain better terms after the Inevitable defeat). WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 W) Secretary of State Hull renewed today his warnings against ovor optimism based on recent mil itary and political developments in the European area. Asked at his press conference whether he shared the optimism of many Americans over the de velopments in Europe (some have been predicting an end to the war by Christmas), Hull re plied that it was always more dangerous to underestimate the duration of thn fighting than to overestimate It. BERN. Switzerland, Aug. 9 (JP) Berlin dispatches said to day that German fears of a mul tiple allied invasion and recogni tion of the allied determination to carry the war to a decisive end had prompted the recent urgent meetings between nazl party and army leaders. The Berlin correspondent of the Baslcr Nachrichten wrote that propaganda Minister Goebbels told the conferees that the allies planned "to force Ger many to her knees by a massive general thrust from all sides." Japs on Defensive, Says Gen. MacArthur (Continued From Page One) Sanananda late In January, have included: The destruction of a 22-ship Japanese convoy in the Bismarck sea and Huon gulf last March; repulse of a determined Japanese drive to regain the New Guinea 1 airdrome of Wau, south of Sala maua, in May; capture of Mubo 12 miles south of Salamaua, the combined Australian-American invasion campaign of July; oc cupation of forward bases on Trobriand and Woodlark islands, June 30, an operation timed to coincide with the present Sol omons push; continual -air at tacks against Japanese strong points from Soerabaja in the Dutch East Indies to New Geor gia and Santa Isabel islands in the central Solomons; a series of victorious naval actions cul minating in the crushing defeat of a four ship enemy convoy in Vella gulf on. the night of Au gust 7.
