It would make no difference whether Mussolini was a dictator In Italy, or Hitler in Germany, Stalin in Russia, or Blum In France, the action by Germany and Italy would be the same. While pretending neutrality, England Is secretly supporting General Franco and will not permit France or Rus sla to become the directing influence in Spain. This was decided years ago. Furthermore, the fight In Spain Is a definite battle between Bolshev ism, the penetrating poison which emanates from Moscow, and patrl otic nationalism.

Miss Fannie Toomb Mourned By Many (Contributed) Miss Fannie Toomb, who passed away early on the morning of April 1 at her home, 402 South Franklin street, had exerted so wide an in fluence for good and had typified in her life auch a beautiful Christian character that she will be sorely missed by a wide circle of friends. In her home ehe was always the faithful, self-sacrificing daughter, Bister and aunt To her friends and neighbor she was ever loyal, con alderate and generous.

Especially for her constant and devoted service to the First Baptist Church of Wilkes-Barre will she be held in loving remembrances bv all who were associated with her. Her Interest In all phases of the church work was keen and much of the auccesa of the Ladles Aid Society waa due to her wise leadership for many years. Her special Joy was her Sunday school class, to which she devoted herself. To each member she was a friend, ever ready to help, advise or comfort according to any special need. When the new church on South River street was built her class manifested its appreciation of her faithful and inspiring leadership by dedicating one of the beautiful windows to her honor.

This window-now her memorial. Quiet and unassuming by nature to all who knew her well she manifested a most beautiful Christian character, serious and strong In her faith, patient and uncomplaining in Buffering, loyal and faithful to friends and duty. Of her It can trulv be said that "of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." Remembering Faces Omaha, Neb.

(Cepyriakt, 1917, i PEGLER SCORED BY' LEGION Editor, Times-Leader: Enclosed you will find a copy of a resolution which waa presented and adopted at a meeting of the Luzerne County Committee American Legion held at Plymouth on the afternoon of April 4th, 1937.

We trust that you may see this matter In the light of us legionnaires who constitute a cross-section of American life of the present day, and that your paper may also enter protest against this particular composition of Mr. Pegler. Sincerely, FRED H. BACHMAN, Secretary. The resolution follows: Whereas, Westbrook Pegler, columnist, In a syndicated article published in the.

WUkcs-Barre Times-Leader on Monday, February 15th, 1937, did single out the American Legion for an unwarranted attack, and Whereas, said Westbrook Pegler In referring to the conduct of conventions "That the dirtiest mess and the most arrogant conduct of all are chargable to the members of the American Legion at their national reunions," and further said, "The Legion haa lost respect In most cities where It has held these conventions by imposing on its welcome to violate the rules of civilization," etc, and Whereas, these charges are so false and unfair aa to require drastic action, Now, therefore, be it resolved, thalat a regular meeting of the county committee of Luzerne County assembled at Plymouth on Sunday, April 4th, 1937, 1. That a protest be entered with the management of the Wllkes-Barre Times-Leader regarding the scurrilous writings of the said Pegler; 2. That a copy of this resolution be sent to the Department of Pennsylvania for action at Its next Department Contention, with a particular request that the same be forwarded to the persons sponsoring the writings of the said Pegler. AN8WER8 "HISTORY STUDENT" Editor, Times-Leader: Last Saturday night your column contained an article by one who employs the non-de-plume "History Student," but who forgets that history is even older than the war in Spain, which began in 1936. "History Student" states that "modern ware are not formally declared any more.

They Just begin." He would leave the impression that undeclared warg are something new and confined solely to this modern age. Contrary to the Ideas of "History Student," there have been quite a few undeclared wars in the last 300 years. Back in the middle of the 18th century, England and France fought for two years before they got around to a formal declaration of war. The United States did not declare war in 1812, and to this day the British consider that struggle (Only an unofficial by-product of their fight to crush Napoleon. In 1884, French gunboats bombarded Chinese porta without any aeverence of diplomatic relations.

And in 1894, Japan did not declare war against China until about a month after fighting actually began. Likewise, in 1904, the Japanese fleet attacked Port Arthur eeverahdays before hostilities were formally Droclalmed. More recently. the Chaco war between Bolivia and Paraguay was fought unofficially for three years until Paraguay final ly declared hostilities in 1U33. ja pan; did not declare war when she occupied Manchuria, neither did Italy' declare war upon Invading Hence, there la nothing new about undeclared wars.

The writer would suggest that "History Student" study the un written history, which Is even more startling than the written history, His knowledge of history shows se rious (impairment when he states that fiirhftt Hom'nnrapv today in Spain."
