Like Hitler, Napoleon had concluded a friendship pact with Russia before the invasion (the Peace of Tilsit, in 1807). Napoleon's lasted for nearly five years, Hitler's less than two. Starting out from German territory, two days after the declaration of war, Napoleon led more than 400,000 men across the frontier along Lithuania's Nemunas River.

After he passed the first Cossack guard at the border the Russians offered no opposition to the first three hundred miles of his advance. BUT the timetable geared of to Napoleon's ambling progress was cavalry and infantry, with lumbering supply wagons holding them back, since neither railways, paved. roads, motor-driven vehicles, nor airplanes were then in existence to speed the transport of troops and supplies. With relatively thirteen little weeks fighting, it took Napoleon to reach Moscow and capture the capital of the country he was not to conquer. On September 15 he moved into the abandoned Kremlin.

Although he won the campaign, Bonaparte lost the the peace. The negotiations wily Russians prolonged until the first frost, six weeks later, caught the invaders without provisions or peace terms deep in hostile territory. It took the French forces almost ten weeks to fight their way out on the disastrous, retreat from Moscow. Napoleon deserted them before all had staggered out of Russia, and hurried toward France in a carriage mounted on' a sleigh. The Moscow venture cost him 000 men and set him on the path to Elba.

(Copyright, 1941. By Edgar A. Guest.) HYPHENATED CITIZENS Editor, Times-Leader Evening News: I seem to smell the sulphur that will come from the storm that your editorial, "One For The Discard," in Saturday's paper will bring up, but it is nonetheless a subject that has long puzzled many of us. If I am wrong, correct me, but I doubt if such things would permitted in any other country. Can you imagine as many "hyphenated" citizens in Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Greece, or any other foreign nation? If this country is good enough for them to take up as a home, and they all claim it is better than the ones they left, why is it they still want to distinguish themselves as "German-Americans," "Irish-American," "Italian-American," Why can't they reverse the title and call themselves American so and and and so? Very few, if any, would choose to return to the country from which they came, and yet for some unexplainable reason they hang onto the name of a country that never gave them one-tenth the chance this country has.

Govt. Workers Must Settle Tax Philadelphia, July delphia's one and one-half per cent wage tax must be paid by U. S. Government workers, Judge Joseph G. Tumolillo of Common Pleas Court ruled today.

In a written opinion that followed a suit brought by the argumerainst Norman G. Schaller, marine engineer at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, the jurist declared Schaller "is a wellpaid civilian employe. There is no more reason to exempt workers at the Navy Yard from the provisions of the wage tax ordinance than there is to exempt the thousands of employes private industry who are engaged in work vital to defense." Food Saving Plan Started By Govt. Washington, July 2-(P)-The government initiated today a nationwide program for the canning, drying and storage of fruits and vegetables, to prevent any food from going to waste this summer.

McNutt, health and welfare coordinator, and Claude R. Wickard, secretary of agriculture. The announcement said that "substantial addition" to the food supply could be made through nation-wide cooperation. Boxing Contest Delayed To July 11 Mt. Freedom, N.

ATTACHEO SHOE REPAIRING NEISNER'S 5c TO $1.00 STORE 41 SOUTH MAIN STREET THE war for whose outbreak Russia flashed the green light by fits as pact with to Germany Russia Aug. 22, itself. 1939, now come This final collapse of the StalinMolotov policies of the past 21 months means that the whole world must back off and take a new look at the war. Hitler's deliberate violation his 10-year pact with gives new of, proof if any new proof were needed-of his black-hearted perfidy. It now seems clear that he simply sucked the Russians into the pact of 1939 for his own purposes, never intending to keep the pact.

Certainly all the objections he now makes to the Russiansthat they are imperialistic. that they are trying to disintegrate the German government, and so forth, were true in 1939, are true now, and have always been and will always be true of Russian policy in Germany and in the United States, for that matter. THE Communists have been calling this an imperialist war. So it is, now, in the sense that both Gereach many and Russia are imperialist, having grabbed off all the ritory it could grab ever since the war broke out. We in the United States are naturally more interested in how all this affects us.

We are committed to a policy of aid to Britain. We have not yet been able to provide anything aid to Britain which she requires. Aid to Russia other than in a sense of an American hope that Napoleon's frustrated purposes may be repeated seems out of the quesItion. THANKS at least in part to the opposition and obstruction of Communists in America, arms production has not yet reached a point where there is any surplus for Russia. So any debate of direct help for Russia is meaningless.

Britain herself can probably do nothing for Russia except to pour it into Hitler in the west. Our interest her success there remains unchanged. More direct is the China will now almost certainly be cut off from the Russian aid which has been valuable to her. That means that China will depend more heavily on help from the United States. She should have it.

Whatever is the upshot of the German-Russia war, it can scarcely fail to benefit Britain in her struggle. Win, lose, or draw, in Russia, Germany must lose hundreds of planes and pilots, hundreds of tanks, thousands of trained men. Only quick, complete defeat of Russia could really help Hitler. Britain gains precious time and breathing space. The United States, too, gains precious time in which to perfect our own defenses and to make our program of aid Britain really conclusive.

American interest in the war between the two imperialistic dictatorships of Germany and Russia will be proportioned to its effect on the basic struggle between the free peoples of western Europe and Nazism. HITLER, declaring war on Russia on June 21, was barely one calendar jump ahead of Napoleon by way of parallel. Bonaparte made his war declaration on Russia on June 22, 1812.
