as Second-Class Matter All Cherke TiTehlo To THE GREENVILLE NEWS COMPANT THE NEED FOR COWS A Department of Agriculture announcement of a purchase of American cheese, presumably for the British aid program, brings the total of such cheese purchases to 78,483,378 pounds. These purchases added to the increased buying of domestic consumers by reason of higher Incomes naturally have a tendency to stimulate the growth of dairy herds in the United States. For a time after the war closes this country no doubt will need every pound of cheese and other dairy products it can produce for the purpose of rehabilitating the exploited peoples of Europe. But as the conquered nations become self-supporting again our needs for these food items and others are likely to decrease. And unless some thought is given to the problem in advance we are likely to be confronted with a surplus of dairy cows that Is, unless we can contrive to greatly increase the domestic consumption of dairy products.

The Nazi lootirrg program in the conquered territories has resulted in the depletion of Europe's finest dairy herds, according to reports reaching this country. And any surplus stock available here could be used to advantage in rebuilding those herds. That, in all probability will be one of the means employed to rehabilitate war-torn Europe and at the same time safeguard the economic interests of the dairy industry in the United States. THE BRITISH AND LIBYA During the summer it was generally believed that with the coming of favorable weather for military action in the desert of North Africa fighting would flare again in Libya. But when the Germans pushed deep into the Ukraine and It became apparent that the British would have another front to take care of, either by offensive or defensive action, a new Libyan campaign began to appear less certain.

Some of the commentators began to point out that the British would hardly take the Initiative and run the risk of having to fight Axis forces in Libya and Southern Russia at the same time. Italian newspapers, however, report the massing of large British forces in Egypt and interpret the moves there to mean that major operations against Axis North African forces may be imminent. The favorable season for desert warfare is approaching and a considerable movement of British troops is reported between the Jarabub and Siwa oases, about 120 miles inland from the Mediterranean. This location is some 300 miles west of Cairo. Coincident with these reports came others from London indicating renewed activity on the Libyan front, particularly artillery action.

These indications of probable increased activity on the Libyan front in the near future would seem to support the view of those commentators who hold that It would be to Britain's advantage to clean up Libya as quickly as possible for the primary purpose of freeing the Middle East command of the necessity of having to maintain considerable forces in North Africa while going the limit to give Russia help hundreds of miles to the east. At any rate the desert fighting season is approaching and Britain's plans for the winter In the North African sector should soon be revealed. IF THE STEAM PRESSURE KEEPS INCREASING, IT MUST SOMEHOW, FIND RELEASE The bravest in all Gaul, according, to Caesar, were the Belgians, But then toughest fighters north of Rome "the most warlike and the most barbaric" were the wild Germanic tribes. Nobody know where they came from. They first appeared on the shores of the Baltic, but had drifted 4nto central Europe when Rome found them and introduced them to history.

Their blood is in other races, scattered from Lombardy to Sweden, but the true Germanic stock took root and developed where Rome first found it. Now the tribes have become a na-V tion of eighty million, and the world must reckon with it forever. The Germans are not superior to other races, but they have many of the qualities that make a people great. Through all the centuries they havev remained warlike, delighting in the pomp and power of martial adventure. They are good soldiers, brave, dogged and disciplined.

As a people, they are prolific, physically sturdy and intelligent. They have, little of the flashing brillance and cold logic of the Latin genius, but in the combination of manual skill, untiring patience, thoroughness, attention to detail, industry and ability to organize and cooperate, they have no equal on earth. Much of their fame in science 4 and the arts was won by German Jews, but the Germans themselves have contributed much to every branch of learning and to every work of civilization. To keep such a people permanently in subjection is an impossibility as the French learned too late. What, then, can the world hope for when the present war is over assuming that Germany is again defeated? What terms of peace will insure the safety of Europe and the world? Divide Germany into many helpless little States? They will inevitably unite and lust for.

vengeance. Scatter or exterminate them? The world is too decent to consider such a solution. The Germans could live forever i within their old boundaries, safe from attack, prosperous and respected, as they were in Wilhelm's time, before the first World War. But they will not. Aiprolific, Industrious, race-proud and ambitious people will expand if it can and there are no more primitive lands to conquer.

Apparently the world must fight for its freedom In every generation or submit to German domination. For the Germanic tribes will keep on multiplying, and their nature will not change. From now on the. EAGLES ON ALL U.S. NAVAL INSIGNIA WILL FACE INSTEAD OFLeFT Nil M.

One is at the Cathedral of insurance risk through installation of the alarm system, there would clearly be added reason for the municipal government to go forward with this improvement in the city's fire-fighting services. Fire Chief Donnald has urged the installation on other grounds as well, citing particularly the loss of time that has frequently occurred through delays In getting an alarm to the department and through confusion as to the location of the fire, arising out of duplicate street names and inaccurate directions given in calls coming In by telephone. Such considerations are undoubtedly of outstanding importance in making the modern equipment and well-trained personnel of the city fire department genuinely effective in reducing fire losses and preventing real fire disasters.

The municipal government is doing well to give careful thought to this whole subject with a view to early action. St. Peter, In Rome. One is that of the Taj Mahal, in India, and I believe the other is the stately crown of the Cathedral In St. Paul, Minn.

Why Worry? Worry, so common to all of us, is based upon an uncertainty of the future. We fear that our employment may not be sure, that an accident may happen while we are traveling, that our health will not continue, or that we shall be unable to solve ft present problem. Apparently it does no good to remember that most of our former worries concerned things that did not happen at all; we continue to worry over what may take place in the future.

This is hardly good intelligence. Rays of Sunshine. stined to stand as a bulwark for liberty in a time of chaos. After the dinner, it was voted by a small group, headed by Weston, to send a cable of congratulation to the British Prime Minister, reminding him of his honorary degree and letting him know that his fellow alumni at Lafayette were still for him. Slightly intoxicated by Weston's eloquence, the group composed a flowing cable, filed it and gladly paid a huge sum for its transmission.

Next day the president of the college congratulated Weston upon his great speech. "Unfortunately." he added, "the degree you talked of was never granted to the English stateman, but to the distinguished American writer of the same name." The alumni never had any response to their cable. A HARD JOB AHEAD A report of the Department of Commerce at Washington holds out little hope that the Germans can derive any great immediate benefits from their invasion of Russia, even if they occupy all of the Ukraine or even all European Russia. It is pointed out that the farmers of the Ukraine are so strongly opposed to foreign control of any sort that military occupation of their lands is unlikely to yield any greater economic advantage today than when Germany occupied the area In 1914. The present Russian government needed ten years of patient effort to achieve any degree of cooperation with the Ukrainians.

And this reasoning Is based on the assumption that the expected lack of cooperation would render the Germans unable to get maximum quantities of commodities In the near future and Ukrainian products are needed immediately. Even if the German Army should drive the Soviet forces beyond the Urals, the department holds, the Ger. man difficulties in organizing transport and Industry and forcing the civilian population to work for German account would be multiplied and resistance to Nazi domination would be Increased and prolonged. That Is to say, Germany even In the event of further successes In Eastern Russia faces the same situation on a greater scale that she now faces in France and the other occupied countries which are becoming restless under the Nazi heel. There is no question but that the German drive Into Riftsia carries serious threats to the Allied cause.

But purely from Germany's Immediate economic viewpoint the outlook must not be particularly cheering to Berlin. HITLER THREATENS SOFIA Reports from Turkey say Nazi authorities have delivered a final warning to Bulgaria that she must send forces to the Russian front now or Germany will consider that Bulgaria has violated her pact wfth-the Reich and thereupon will be occupied by the German army. Rumors have been going the rounds for some days to the effect that Hitler is pressing the Balkan countries and Italy to let him have 1,000,000 troops for use on the Russian front. Military experts at Ankara are quoted as saying Hitler wants to withdraw about of his troops men who are deemed too old and tired to withstand the rigors of a Russian winter and send them to warmer climates to rest from their exhausting fall campaign. And he wants the fresh troops of his allies to fill the gaps thus made during the winter.

Reports have it that Hitler has demanded that Bulgaria furnish 150,000 of these troops. Bulgaria Is represented as being unwilling to cooperate in the undertaking and it is this reluctant attitude which is presumed to have prompted the Hitler threat to occupy Bulgaria with German troops. Germany already has such an extensive collection of headaches in occupied territories that it is difficult to understand such a threat to occupy Bulgaria, a country which might become one of the worst occupational headaches of them all. A probable explanation is that Germany may be beginning to feel the need of more substantial help from her allies and she knows of no other way to get it except through the application of forre. THE NAZI BADGE A news report says the average Berliner believes that every German national living in the United States must wear the Nazi swastika In the same manner that Jews in Germany must wear a large yellow Star of David on their left breasts.

The rumor is said to be all over Berlin with people repeating it everywhere. But the news dispatch doesn't say how the people feel about it. We'd like to know over here, for example, if In the light of all that has transpired during the past two years the average German regards the swastika as, a badge of honor and one that could be proudly worn over the heart by German nationals everywhere. The Oerman people probably don't know, of course and won't find out If Hitler can help lt-that the swastika is much less In evidence over here now than It was before Fritz Xuhn, th Nazi leader thli country, wen to the cooler for twteoOtd ton. rignt out nere in Narragansett bay by old Sheriff Whipple, and struck the captain of His Majesty's ship; "Gaspee."

Miss Ann Crowley, who told me that she, too, had that day done her first work for a salary, and had had a good case of beginner's Jitters. A tale that made me laugh was told by Mr. Frank Weston. He graduated from Lafayette college, in Easton, in 1919, and afterward went to work in Boston. There he headed the local alumni association of his alma mater.

At a reunion last spring, he was invited to make a speech. Press of work kept Weston from thlnging about his speech until he was back on the campus. There, looking over the list of honorary degrees that has been conferred by Lafayette, he noted the name of Winston Churchill as the recipient of such an honor. So our hero built his address around this item. He told how he had had the good fortune to witness the conferring of that degree, described the noble carriage of that distinguished Englishman as he marched in the academic procession and congratulated his alma mater upon the foresight that caused her thus to honor a man who was de- Today's Talk By GEO.

MATTHEW ADAMS GLORY OF UNDERSTANDING Most of the wounds of the heart come from misunderstanding. For instance, there are times when we crave human companionship but silent companionship someone to walk with us, or sit with us to understand without talk. Yet how often this is misunderstood and because of our desire for silence and companionable communication, we are taken to task and often bitterly. I am not afraid to live alone, or to be alone In a lonely place but I am happier with eomeone with me Just to have that human atmosphere about me. I believe that this is true of every one.

It takes infinite tact to get along happily with our best friend, but it can be done if we measure out understanding to that friend and try to understand his faults as well as his virtues. Often we prod too deeply Into the affairs of another that do not concern us, and about which we know nothing, and ought to know nothing. Thoreau complained because many of his friends put him down as cold, but he remarked that he hoped that he was not too cold "lor natural influences." Said he: "It appears to be a law that you cannot have a deep sympathy with both man and nature. Th qualities which bring you near to the one estrange you from the other." The beasts of the field, the small creeping creatures of the soil, and the birds and flowers knew and had understanding with Thoreau. Their silence had a language.

Thus it may be with us all. The art of understanding is one of the high and important arts. To cultivate it is to invite into the world a better and more attractive personality and to place you in the genuine service of the world. The understanding person Is always a welcomed one. Poets are greatly gifted with understanding because they delve deeply into beauty, into the secret lores of love, and into the untrodden paths of the heart.

Understanding Is intelligent feeling. Entering Providence, it seemed natural to see the student welcoming committee at the railroad station, greeting the prospective freshmen for Brown university. They've been doing that since the railroad was built, and long before that the welcoming committees used to go down the road to meet the prospects who were returning on horseback, from the Revolutionary war, to take up their interrupted school work. On a certain night, the governor burned the bonds wherewith beautiful marble capitol was built. The ceremony took place on the front steps of the capitol, and was broadcast.

Hotelman Charles Cyrus and I sat in a room, high up in the Biltmore, mile or so away, and watched the ceremony through binoculars, while listening to it on the radio. We could see the sneaker's lips move in pronouncing the words, and hear the words at the same instant, and we marveled at these scientific wonders to which we have become accustomed. ITALY'S MORALE Another war winter faces the Italian people and the indications are that it's going to be a gloomy one. Mussolini has just conveyed the sad news that bread will be so scarce that it will have to be rigidly rationed. Italians are already accustomed to sharply restricted allowances of other foods.

And now the people are being warned that coal supplies for the winter will be based on 30 per cent of the amount used by consumers during the winter of 1939-1940. In Northern Italy heating in houses cannot begin before December 1. In Central Italy heating must be postponed until December 10. In the Southern part of the country the people will have to manage without heat in their houses until December 20. These dates compare rather unfavorably with November 15 last year when benevolent Benito allowed his subjects everywhere to start getting warm.

News of this nature in itself is depressing. And It doesn't help much for the people to know that another garrison in East Africa has been ordered to surrender to the British along with word from Hitler that he needs half a million Italian troops to do some dirty work for him on the Russian front. The Italians don't like that because they are expecting the British to start chasing their forces in Libya again any day now and the troops Hitler wants may be needed closer home. These are but a few of the many details that add up to a gloomy prospect for the Italians this winter. It is therefore not surprising that observers believe that Italian morale is sagging to a new low.

A representative view is contained In a special broadcast to the New York Times from Ankara, Turkey. "Reports received in foreign diplomatic and military circles here and in Istanbul," it says, "indicate there has been a new outbreak of demonstrations and a sharp decline in morale in Italy." JAPAN'S "GAME" Japan has soft-pedaled the observation of the first anniversary of the signing of the Japanese pact with the European Axis powers; but anybody who thinks this Is a really sincere gesture of friendship for the United States is very probably deluding himself. Japan, it is clearly evident, is simply awaiting with hope the outcome of the German attack on Russia hope that it will succeed and enable Japan to take bolder measures in the Orient, either against Siberia or against British and Dutch Indies positions in the South Seas. Japan is playing an expediency role for the time being. Japan would like to make "conciliatory" gestures to America to gain restoration of normal trade relations which would enable Japan to get needed supplies of war essentials from this country.

But at the first sign of European Axis progress toward eventual victory Japan will show her teeth toward both Britain 'and the United States. That is very clearly evident from our knowl-. edge of Japan's national purposes. The only way in which the United States can hope for more amicable relations with Japan is through a checkmate of the European Axis powers.

At least 400,000 Germans in Russia, it was taia, were to be moved to Siberia.

AFTER 100 YEARS In the "One Hundred Years Ago" feature of the New York Herald Tribune one reads that "The public mind is becoming mucl. awakened to the subject of the cultivation of silk; and one of deeper interest to the national prosperity and welfare cannot be named." The country has found in the century that has passed since the above was written that silk is one of the desirable items of commerce that cannot be grown on as practical a basis here as in other parts of the world. Silk has played an important part in the national prosperity and but it has done so through the channels of international trade rather than as a domestic product.

Incidentally, Tokyo reports receipt of large orders for silk from South America and suggests that the United States may be attempting to purchase Japanese silk through sources to the south as well as through 8hang-hla. The Inference is that our present restrictions on trade with Japan do not necessarily cut us off entirely from needed supplies. So after 100 years we are still interested in procuring silk. But we have long since given up the idea of producing it ourselves as a contributing factor in the national prosperity and welfare. Just Folks By EDGAR A.

She hoped that German farmers would work the land so well that better crops would be obtained. To each family, the empress offered about 140 acres of land. She also promised to lend the settlers money, and not charge any interest on it for 10 years. At that time there were various small German states insead of one large nation. Word of the offer was carried to the states, and thousands of German families mada ready to move.

There were no railways to carry the new settlers. They placed their goods in wagons and carts, and hitched beasts of burden to them, chiefly oxen. Slowly they made their way eastward, into the heart of Russia. Most of them settled in the valley of the Volga river. By the year 1770 there were about Germans in the two Volga provinces known as Samara and Saratov.

Catherine's plan worked out very well. Not only did tha German settlers prove to be good farmers; they also provided schoolmasters, druggist and others who traveled to various parts of Russia and helped bring about progress.
