Aathnrteed mt Mar VOLUME XXX — LETO XXX Vesti iz slovenskih naselbin New York. — Dne 5. dec. je umrl na svojem domu v Ridge-woodu, L. I., Joseph Lack, rojen v Gorici na Primorskem. Zapušča ženo in dva sinova, oba v vojni, etlen na Pacifiku, drugi v Evropi. Barberton, O.—Dne 24. nov. je tukaj umrla Agnes Mesec, stara 63 iet, doma od Motnika. Zapušča dva sinova (eden je pri mornarici) 81 OB ZATONU LETA Nobena druga doba tekom leta nas ne navdaja s takimi občutki in teko mislijo, kakor zadnji dan istega, ko tone v neizmerno večnost. Pred vsem se nam zbujajo spomini važnih dogodkov tekom lete, pa naj so že bili veseli ali pa žalostni; seveda žalostni dogodki, kakor huda bolezen ali smrt nam bodo še vedno grenili srce. Ker živimo še vedno v vojni dobi, nam bo nedvomno prišla zopet v spomin ona žalostna ura, ko so nasi sinovi jemali od doma slovo da se pridružijo armadi. Lahko bi trdili, da je v tem oziru vsaka ameriška slovenska družina przia-deta saj je do danes samo od naše Jednote v službi strica Sam-a 3315 članov, vštevši nekaj članic. 2al, 54 teh jih je že žrtvovalo svoje mlado življenje za domovino! Ob nastopu Novega leta nam bo zopet treba narediti kake zaobljube ali resolucije, pred vsem to, da skušamo živeti pravilno in čuvati naše zdravje, ki je največje bogastvo sveta. Tudi če mislite, da ste zdravi, pojdite enkrat čez leto h kakemu dobremu zdravniku, da vas pregleda ali "prečeka," kajti mnogo brezbrižnih ljudi umre prekmalu ker se niso hoteli brigati za svoje zdravje, pač so klicali doktorja ko je bilo že prepozno! Kot zvesti člani Jednote ji tudi letos obljubimo vestno vršili njena in društvena pravila. V glavnem, plačevati redno potrebne prispevke in se po naši možnosti redno udeleževati društveni sej. Seveda je tudi naša dolžnost, da ji skušamo pridobiti kaj novih članov. Glede tega smo v resnici radovedni, če bo naša Jednota začetkom 1. 1945 dosegla zaželjeno število 40,000 članstva? Naš list je skušal V tem oziru tekom sedanje "tihe" kampanje doseči tozadevni cilj. Cez 17 dni, ali dne 13. januarja 1945 bo naše Glasilo dovršilo svojo 30-letnico. Uredniku se zdi to dolga, pa tudi kratka doba, saj čas hitro beži in se z leti pogreza v večnost. V teh letih sm ose mnogi že postarali, za kar moramo biti Bogu hvaležni, saj je v dobi teh let leglo pred nami v prezgodnji grob že na tisoče mlajših od nas! Ko bomo šli te dni v cerkev, zahvalimo «e večnemu Stvarniku za vse prejete dobrote"in ga prosimo še Njegove nadaljne milosti; pred vsem naj bo pa naša goreča molitev, da bi se ta stra-¿na vojna letos gotovo s popolno zmagozaveznikov končala, potem nam bo mogoče prihodnje Novo leto v krogu vseh naših domačih v pravem veselju pričakovati in obhajati. -o- Z BOŽJO POMOČJO ZA DOSEGO ZMAGE! Dne 22. decembra t. 1. je izdal vrhovni poveljnik zavezniške armade general D. D. Eisenhower iz svojega glavnega stana v Pairzu svojim bojevnikom sledeči razglas: "Naš sovražnik si prizadeva sedaj na skrajne načine, da bi izšel iz obupnega položaja, kamor ste ga vi prisilili zadnje poletje 4n jesen z vašimi sijajnimi zmagi. "Bori se na grozovit način, da bi dobil nazaj vse ono, kar ste vi pridobili in pri tem vporablja zdaj vse načine, da bi vas preslepil in umoril. "Nastopa kot, gambler" vsepovsod, toda dosedaj mu je vaše junaško zadržanje v vojni vseeno prekrižalo njegove načrte, torej bo vsled vaše že dokazane hrabrosti popolnoma propadel. "Vendar še ne smemo biti zadovoljn iz našimi dosedanjimi uspehi! "Ko se pojavlja iz svojih obrambnih postojank, nam daje sovražnik priložnost, da lahko pretvorimo njegovo nevarno igro • v njegov največji poraz. "Zato pozivam vsakega moža naše zavezniške armade, da naj sedaj podvzame največ svoje korajže in se odloči za dosego našega uspeha. "Naj ima vsakdo izmed vas edino misel v srcu—uničiti sovražnika na kopnem, v zraku, sploh povsod—uničite ga! "Združeni v tem našem sklepu in v neomahljivem zaupanju za namen, za katerega se borimo, bomo šli z božjo pomočjo naprej za popolno dosego zmage!" -o-- ' Nespamet intervencije (Za ONA: Harold Laski) V politiki se vseeno zgodi ono, kar je nepričakovano. Se pred tednom dni je bilo videti, da Churchillove reputacije ne bo mogel nikdo napasti. Danes pa je postal predmet britkih očitikov in zgražanja širokih krogov progresivnih slojev. Njegova politika intervencije na Grškem je sicer prodrla v parlamentu—kot je bilo neizogibno—a je obenem vzbudila na novo vse sumnje in nezaupanje napram možu, ki je v prvi vrsti odgovoren za nespamet intervencije v Rusiji od leta 1918 do 1920. Ta teden nam je pokazal Churchilla v njegovi najslabši formi — slabe volje, izzivajoč in brez velikodušnosti. V tej debati glede Grčije je težko videti onega Churchilla, katere- mu niti njegovi nasprotniki niso odrekali spoštovanja in naklonjenosti. Soditi o grškem vprašanju ni i lahka stvar. Priznati pa moram, z globokim obžalovanjem, da imam tudi jaz vtis, da je občutek, ki prevladuje v javnosti ¡pravilen—zdi se mi, da ni najbolj naravna stvar za britanske j vojake, da morajo umirati za- 'radi Churchilove strastne lju- i bežni do monarhije in v prid j njegovemu prizadevanju, da I vzdržuje še nadalje angleškp ¡nadvlado v vzhodnih predelih ' sredozemskih voda. Velike angleške delavske unije kot trans-'portni delavci in železničarji 'jstrogo in ogorčeno obsojajo njegovo politiko. Na žalost moram priznati, da tukaj v Londonu prevladuje mnenje, da je Churchill napravil grškega ministerskega predsednika Georgea Papandreu-a i svojega osebnega "gaulaj-terja." Nesmiselno je dokazovati, kot je Churchill poskušal dokazti, da je ELAS le mala banda tolovajev, ki motijo javni mir ... Churchill poskuša s pomočjo intrig britanskega ambasadorja v* Atenah in z ▼semi vrstami modernega orožja, s silo in «vi-jačo, razorožiti levičarske stru-je Grškem. Prizadeva si pripraviti pot takemu plebiscitu, da bi imel ekzekutivno oblast v tistem odločilnem trenotku kralj v rokah—in s kraljem one politične stranke v deželi, ki so temu kralju pomagali uvesti diktaturo generala Metaksasa, kar je bila prekršitev njegove prisege v prilog konstituciji. Tudi v slučaju, da smo pripravljeni priznati, da je položaj na Grškem nekoliko zamotan radi tega, ker gre za osvoboditev naroda, ki je trpel pod tujo in domačo diktaturo preko sedem let, je vendar potrebno, da uvidimo, da so oni ljudje, katere hoče Churchill razorožiti oni, ki so se tako junaško borili proti Mussolini ju in Hitlerju. Važno je, da pomislimo, da so ljudje, katere Churchill danes napada, v sko-ro natančno istem položaju, v katerem so bili gerilci maršala Tita, ko je bil Churchill še vnet občudovalec generala Miha j loviča. Churchill si je oči-vidno ustvaril o Grčiji mnenje, po katerem ji namerava odrekati resnično svobodo samoodločbe. V globini svoje duše pa se Churchill le boji — to nam je njegov govor v House of Commons le preveč natančno razodel—da bi se utegnila uveljaviti na Grškem republikanska ideja in da bi to pomelio širjenje komunizma. Tako smo torej prišli do tega, da so žrtvovana življenja britanskih vojakov zaradi Churchillove strastne pripadnosti torij skim principom — in sicer v deželi, ki niti ni njegova, in kateri je bil obljubil svoboden izbor vladnega sistema pod kšterim bo njen narod želel živeti. Priznal bom, da je težko pripustiti več različnih oboroženih sil v deželi, ki je ravnokar odpravila fašistično diktaturo. Toda Churchill ne razloži niti v naj man je, zakaj je ona oborožena sila, kateri daje svojo podporo, ravno rojalistične, po svojem značaju. Niti v najma-nje ni obrazložil, zakaj je treba, da vsilijo angleški bajoneti, tanki in letala grškemu ljudstvu vlado, proti kateri stresa zdaj deželo masiven generalni štrajk, vlado, proti kateri se narod bori s toliko besa, da je pripravljen umreti v tem boju. Nemogoče mi je, navesti v njegovo obrambo tudi 4e eno samo ameriško ali sovjetsko mnenje, ki bi zagovarjalo njegovo postopanje. Tudi v organih britanskega liberalizma, v časopisih delavske ali liberalne stranke ne uživa nobene podpore. > Z enim samim udarcem je Churchill pahnil britanski prestiž v tako globino, da je skoro teko tragično nizek kot je bil v dneh predsedništva Stanley Baldwina ali Neville Chamber-laina. Kadar polemizira, govori s tonom razjarjenega človeka, ki je nedostopen vsakemu pametnemu argumentu in je le preveč zadovoljen s tem, da more z grožnjami ukrotiti House of Commons, Dogodki zadnjega tedna so pokazali, da je Churchill, kljub vsej svoji veličini vodje v vojni, patetično nesposoben urediti vprašanja, ki se porajajo iz začetkov miru. Njegovo ravnanje je spravilo splošne volitve v mnogo večjo bližino. Pokazalo se je, da je v toliko bolj nesposoben soditi o ciljih, za katere smo se borili, čim bližje prihajamo zmagi. Poročilo iz Aten Atene, 12. decembra (ONA) —Pred mojim hotelom je sedel na stopnicah britanski vojak, padalec, ki se je bil ravnokar povrnil iz izvidniške patrole. Obračal je liste v mali modro vezani knjižici in mi dejal, ko je opazil, da stojim v njegovi bližini: "Tole vas bo zanifhalo. To je knjiga, katero smo dobili predn? smo prišli eem. O tr-čiji piše — poslušajte, kaj pravijo v njej. "Srečni ste, da greste v Grčijo, kajti to je dežela zaveznikov, katere je dobro imeti. Britanski parašutist me je pogledal po strani in se nasmehnil. 'Najbrže ni dežele, ki bi bila trpela več kot Grčija . . . Toda Grki se kljub temu niso nikdar podali. Možje in žene so tvegali svoja življenja za britanske vojake, ki so bili zaostali v njihovi deželi. Delavci v mestih so organizirali štrajke, gerilske čete v gorskih predelih dežele so se množile in rasle, mostovi in ceste so se rušile pod udarci teh sil . . . Grki niso nikdar izgubili upanja ...' Britanski padalec me je zopet pogledal in dejal: "No, kaj pravite o tem?" Zmajal sem z glavo, a on je dostavil: "Ne morem razumeti." Razvaline Beograda Hubert Harrison, poročevalec Reuter agencije, javlja sledeče iz Beograda z datumom 5 novembra: "Ogromne spremembe so nastale v Beogradu, odkar sem bil tu zadnjič v letu 1940. Nedelja je ali ljudstvo, ki napolnjuje glavne ulice ni ono ali isto, katero sem poznal tedaj. Obleke visijo na odrvene-lih, suhih telesih, njihova razo-rana lica odražajo strahote in trpljenja katere je prebivalstvo Beograda pretrpelo v zadnjih treh letih. Prebivalstvo je še vedno pod strašnim vtisom sedem dnevnih strahot, ko se je lačno skrivalo po kleteh in luknjah, boječ se priti na dan, ko se je nad njihovimi glavami vodila borba za osvobojen je mesta. Na. prvi pogled iz zraka, Beb-grad izgleda isto lepo mesto ob zlivu Save in Donave, katerega se tako dobro spominjam. Ali ko se mu približavaš iz višine vidiš, da so poročila o njegovem razdejanju resnična in da je to najbolj poškodovana prestolnica Evrope, ki so dosedaj osvobojene. Ko sem hodil po njegovih mi-niranih ulicah sem povsod opazil parke in travo, kjer so prej stale važne palače. Ti "parki" so posledica nemškega bombardiranja 1941 leta. Povsod se vidi tudi posledica zavezniškega bombardiranja, posebno v pristnišču in na mostovih. Sredi mesta je teško najti zgradbo, ki nima znakov nedavnih bitk. Največje/ število velikih zgradb so samo-prazne lupine, razrušene od boijib ali pogorele. Velike že^niške centrale in postaje so osamele puščav. Mostoyi čez reke, z izjemo enega, ležijo zlomljeni v vodi.. Luka je polna potopljenih ladij in šlepov. Ko sem se vozil v "jeepu" ob razvalinah hangarjev razdejanih od Nemcev za časa odstopanja čez edini most preko Save, (ne oni krasen most od prei, ampak oni ,ki so ga Nemci začasno napravili in katerega je en star srbski oficir rešil) sem opazil mnoga znamenja strašnih bitk. Ulice blizu mostnih glav so še vedno polne uničenih tankov a stene zgradb so preluknjene po topovskih zrnih. Povsod, navzlic ogromnega truda partizanov, da bi očistili mesto, zastrupljajo zrak mrtva telesa padlih vojakov in meščanov. Iz Beograda je do sedaj iz-vlečeno več kot 20,000 ubitih Nemcev. Nekaj Nemcev in najnevarnejših kvizlingov se še vedno skriva v razvalinah. Radi tega je treba stroge kontrole in prebivalstvu je dovoljeno svobodno premikanje samo do 8 ure zvečer, dokler se te elemente ne očisti. Osvobodilne sile posvečajo največ truda, da bi jnesto čimprej dopeljale v normalno sta- nje, ali zapreke temo so ogromne. Nemci so pokradli in razdejali vse kar je bilo mogoče. Glavna sredstva za transportacijo komaj še obstojajo, hrana je zelo omejena. Od katere koli prestolnico v Evropi je Beograd zares največ pretrpel. KAJ PISE ČASNIKAR PRED 300 LETI Prvi časopisi so menda v Evropi začeli izhajati nekako sredi prve polovice 17. stoletja. Torej je že kakih 800 let od tistih dob. Takrat je na Dunaju izhajal tednik, še poprej pa je začel tek časopis izhajati v Parizu. Tisti časopis so takrat Francozi imenovali "Gazette," kar je pozneje postala označba za časopis sploh. Izdajal in pisal pa je tisti prvi francoški časopis neki Theophrastus Re-naudot. Čudno pa je, da natančne letnice in dneva, kdaj je izšel njegov prvi časopis, ne vemo, ker so prve številke izhajale brez datuma. Sodijo pa, da je prva številka izšla meseca majnika leta 1631. Takrat je na Francoskem vladal kralj Ludvik XIII. s svojim kanclerjem Mazarinom, ki je bil bisteV mož ter je takoj uvi-del, kakega pomena je tek list tudi za vladarja. Zato je Ma-zarin izposloval, da je izdajatelj Renaudot, ki je bil po svojem poklicu sicer zdravnik, dobil posebne pravice pri izda janju liste. Tako je francoska "Gazette" kmalu postala tisto, kar dandanes imenujemo ofi-ciozen list. Poslej je list izhajal vsako soboto. Raznašali pa so ga posebni raznašalci, ki se jim je po francosko reklo "con-treporteurs," iz česar je pozneje nastala beseda "kolporter." Torej so časopisni kolporter j i prav tako že 300 let stari! Mazarin, ki sicer ni bil tako genialen mož kakor je bil njegov prednik Richelieu, je bil pa vsaj toliko moder in spreten diplomat, ki je Franciji dosegel mnogo uspehov, je tiral državo in kralja v takoimenova-ni kraljevi absolutizem. Temu se je upiralo plemstvo in pa francoski parlament. Zveza teh dveh se v zgodovini imenuje "fronda." Kmalu je bil novi časopis v službi kraljeve politike, ki je svoje bralce pridobival zanjo. Toda fronda je bila premočna. Tako se je zgodilo, da je leta 1649 moral kralj z Mazarinom vred bežati iz Pariza. Mazarin se je nastanil v St. Germainu, kamor je prihitel tudi njegov časnikar Renaudot, ker v Parizu zanj ni bilo več obstanka. Parlament je namreč začel izdajati svoj list zoper "Gazetto." Konkurenčni list se je imenoval "Le Courrier Francais." Tako je izhajal en časopis v Parizu, drugi pa izven Pariza takorekoč v izgnanstvu. Vendar se zdi, da je bil prvi časnikar bolj sposoben. Saj tako bi človek sklepal iz strašnih zabavi j ic, ki so z njimi obsipavali ubogega Renaudota, kar dokazuje, da je mož svojim nasprotnikom šel na živce. In še dandanes velja marsikaj, kar je mož napisal v svoj list. Renaudot je svojo "Gazetto" vso sam spisal. Zanimivo pa je, da je že tedanji njegov mali tednik imel skoraj vse tiste rubrike, ki jih imajo listi dandanes. Njegovi uvodni članki so marsikje še tako sodobni, kakor bi jih bil pisal za današnje dni. Tako na primer obširno piše o "nevarnih čereh," ki prete časnikarju/ V tem članku obširno piše o težavah časnikarskega stanu. V članku! opravičuje svoje pero, ki goto-! vo ne more vsakomur in vsem! ugajati ter ustrezati. "Enim | bolj ugaja slog, ki je poln cvet-j lic, drugim pa bolj tak, ki je ra. Drugi se zopet jezi na me, češ ker njegovo ime v listu še ni bilo natisnjeno." Na koncu veli svojim bralcem to le resnico: "Od časopisa ne pričakujte tiste natančnosti, ki jo-lahko zahtevate od zgodovinskega znanstvenega dela. Verujte, da je časopis že storil svojo dolžnost, če je preprečil laž, da se ni mogla razširiti.". Resnično, zelo bistro je sodil te mož, ki je umrl meseca oktobra lete 1653, ko je celih 22 let deloval kot časnikar. NEMŠKI ČASTNIKI STRELJAJO VOJAKE Da obdrže zadnjih deset odstotkov Huetergen gozda, nemški častniki sedaj streljajo svoje vojake, ki se skušajo podati. Amerikanci pa se bojujejo od drevesa do drevesa in od enega kupa dreves do drugega v najbolj krvavem boju v celi vojni. Ameriški infanterijski in tan-čni vojaki, ki so bili zakopani ob robu gozda, ki je bil zavarovan s hlodi, so bili priča, kako nemški častniki streljajo svoje vojake. Major Roy W. Hogan je poklical tenke, da so pričeli streljati na nemške skladovnice drva in hlodov in prišlo je šest nemških vojakov z belo zastavo. Amerikanci so čakali, Nemci pa so pričeli prihajati proti njihovi črti z rokami nad glavami. Hodili so kakih 20 Čevljev, ko so Nemci izza skladovnic pričeli nanje streljati in so jih pobili. Ameriški sanitejci, ki pobirajo ameriške in nemške ranjence izpod drevesnih debel in vej, so našli 17 let starega nemškega vojaka, ki je imel rano na trebuhu. Povedal je, da se je naveličal bojevanja in se je hotel podati, njegov častnik pa je nanj vstrelil in ga je pustil ležati, misleč, da je mrtev. "Ako bo po vojni še živ," je rekel ranjeni vojak, "ga bom poiskal kje v Nemčiji in če ga dobim, ga bom ubil." Nemški častniki in tudi vof-jaki se ravnajo po Himmlerje-vem povelju, da mora vsak častnik, vsak vojak vstreliti vsakogar, ki bi se hotel podati sovražniku. suh in stvaren." Drugje zopet pravi: "Vojaki iffičakujejo le bojnih poročil in soldaških novic. Kdor se pa prav nič ne razume na skrivnost na dvoru, ta bi rad v časopisu prebiral debelo tiskane, škandale-z dvo-. MRTVO MORJE Mrtvo morje v iztočni Palestini* je pravo čudo narave, ležeče 1,292 čevljev pod zemeljsko gladino, obsega 360 šti-rjaških milj in leži v dolini reke/Jordan, kamor se tudi ista izliva. Poleg Jordana se izlivajo v to morje tudi druge manjše reke, toda iz tega čudnega morja ni nobenega iztoka. Morda ima na dnu kake skrivne izlive pod zemljo, toda vobče vsa pritekla voda ostaja toliko časa v tem morju, dokler gotova količina iste ne izhlapi na vročem soncu, ostala voda se pa pretvarja v sol in žveplo radi tega donaša domačinom lepe dohodke kjer te tvarine eksplo-atirajo. Bazen Mrtvega morja leži v veliki kotlini; učenjaki trdijo, da je nastalo že pred več milijoni leti vsled potresa. Ta voda vsebuje 25% soli; drugo vobče znano slano jezero ali Salt Lake v naši državi Utah vsebuje pa samo 20% soli; voda tega morja je 7 krat bolj slana kakor voda oceanov. Naravno, da v taki vodi ne morejo živeti ribe, toda razne ptice, pa rade letajo nad njim in plavajo v njem, gnezdijo pa na obrežju v bodičastem gf-movju. Na južni strani tega morja se dviga 300 čevljev visoko se-j dem milj dolgo slano skalovje. | To morje je dolgo 47 milj in na nekem prostoru meri največ 10 milj širine; ponekod je globoko samt) 30 čevljev, drugod pa 1310. Mrtvo morje postaja sčasoma vedno manjše, pred davno dobo je gotovo obsegalo več tisoč milj. Od Časa do časa se nabira na površini te vode asfalt, katerega domačini vporablja j o kot gnojilo v svojih vinogradih. Ptice se hranijo z mrtvimi riba- mi tega morja, katere donaša reka Jordan, seveda vsaka riba v tej slani vodi takoj umre. -—o v mi not a v rovl palači na otoku kreti Grški otok Krete, na katerem imajo sedaj Angleži svoja oporišča, je, dobro znan iz zgodovine. Na tem otoku je izhodišče visoke stare predgrške kulture pred več tisoč leti. Največji spomenik te stare kulture je v Knossosu, nekaj ur od mesta Kandia na Kreti. Tu stoje ostanki palače bajeslovnega kralja Minosa. Z občudovanjem in začudenjem se ustavi obiskovalec pred tem velikanskim spominom iz davnih dni. Arhitektura, plastika, slikarstvo, vse je na višku. Palača je velikanska, toda vsak prostorček je načrtno izpolnjen in služi določenemu namenu. Palača je bila zgrajena okoli 1. 300 pred Kristusom, pozneje je bila večkrat prenovljena, povečana, uničena od požarov in zopet obnovljena. Veliki notranji dvor je razdeljen v dve polovici, od tem pa mrgoli raznih hodnikov, predsob in sob. Vse je prepleteno s krasno okrašenimi stebri, stopnicami, na sredi je, z alabastrovimi ploščami okrašeno kopališče. Kar obiskovalca posebno začudi, je visoka stanovanjska kultura, krasne posode, pohištvo »ognjišča, kanalizacija, mnoge tehnične finese in podobno. Med očarljivimi slikarijami se mnogokrat ponavlja znamenje dvojne sekire in bika. To je v zvezi s češčenjem egiptovskega boga Apisa. Dvojna sekira, v libijskem jeziku "Labrys" in znaki bika spominjata na pripovedko o, Minotauru. Mnogi učenjaki menijo, da je svetovno znana mogočna Minosova palača z neštetimi prostori in z na prvi pogled zmešanim hodniki bajeslovni labirint, v katerem se je zgubil Tezej, zmagovalec nad Minotaurom, pa ga je rešila Ariadnina nit, ki jo je v diru po hodnikih za Minotaurom odvijal, pozneje pa se je vračal nazaj po tistih hodnikih, kamor je vodila nit. AMERIŠKE VOJNE ŽRTVE Washington.—Vojni department poroča, da je bilo tekom sedanje vojne do 7. dec. t. L, torej tekom v dobi treh let '552,018 ameriških vojnih žrtev vštevši 121,363 ubitih. Zadnje dni /se je to število pomnožilo za 15,068 slučajev, kajti do 22. nov. so znašale skupne izgube 474,898 mož, vštevši 91,625 ubitih, 268,099 ranjenih, in 58,-926 pogrešanih; od ranjencev se jih je 126,440 vrnilo v službo. Pri mornarici, marinih in obrežni straži znašajo skupne izgube 77,120 vštevši 29,738 mrtvih, 33,469 ranjenih, 9,427 pogrešanih in 4,486 vojnih ujetnikov.

O'Neil, president of the National Council of Catholic Men; Mrs. Joy Seth Hurd, president of the Cleveland Diocesan Council, who presided at the meeting; Mrs. Michael C. Geraci, president of the Catholic Federation of Women's Clubs, and Henry J. Kondrat, grand knight of Cleveland Council, K. of C. Msgr. McDonough, who discussed the American Bishops' recent statement on Dumbarton Oaks, said that the hierarchy also voiced its skepticism over the draft as it stands. Referring to the Soviet rape of Poland, concurred recently by Prime Minister . Churchill, he said that this piece of "international rascality makes a joke of the Atlantic Charter." "It appears that the Charter drawn up by President Roosevelt and Churchill and accepted by Soviet Russia, was merely the dulcet notes of two great word-spinners," he said. He stated that Churchill's declaration "was rather more brutal than any he has made before," and urged that the U. S. should make "serious representation to Russia." Msgr. McDonough was highly critical of the "unconditional surrender" terms imposed on Germany, stating that "this plays directly into the hands of the Nazi gang. 'Look, they mean to destroy you. Fight to the finish,' they say. ' Any offer of peace should consist of such conditions and couched in such words, as the enemy might be persuaded to accept. —Universe Bulletin. -o- The life insurance policy represents not only good business judgment, but all that human tenderness and affection can express on ' the part of mortal men and women. And the great policyholders contribute to the material well-being of the nation by putting their money to such use, with the view that the returns following the inevitable change that must come to all will find their kin and the world better for the fact that they lived. And so on, down to the most modest investor in this form of business, essenced by the element and emotion, all holders ments of practicality, sentiment and emotion, all holders of insurance contribute to the rational progress and natural happiness of the world. Possession of an adequate insurance policy in a responsible organization brings peace of mind and calm content. No person can take with him the accumulations of earthly fortune, but almost any individual may leave behind him some very substantial evidence that he was a prudent, wise and affectionate person, one whose forethought and wisdom reaches back from beyond the grave to administer comfort to the beloved he is compelled to leave. Life insurance should be looked upon not merely as an investment, but as a defender of the home and protector of its loved ones; as "glad news in a sorry season." It is the "ripened fruit of remembered duty" and removes us from a feeling of anxiety and care to a sense of security and certainty.—Selected. -o- "What is hope?" "Hope is the blossom of happiness." CHRISTIAN MANHOOD To be law-abiding is the first requisite of a good citizen, but more than that, it is one of the essential* conditions of Christian manhood. The supremacy of the law must be the watchword of a people who would have their government endure. If we read and reflect on history, seeking to find the causes contributory to t'he rise and fall of nations, we cannot escape the conclusion that nations endured so long as the people mantained their respect for, and adherence to, their laws. But when, through lack of patriotism, or corruption in public and private life, law became a mockery, destruction followed fast and certain. May it not be that just now America needs to read the signs of the past.—Selected. STRANGE NAMES Have you ever tried making a list of odd names of towns and cities in the United States?
