I had rather be defeated in a cause that will ultimately triumph, than triumph in a cause that will ultimately be Wilson. 0 TO BE EXPECTED Amid the maze of reports that are coming from the various capitals of Europe these days, as to the progress of the war in the Balkans, one fact stands out clearly. The Greeks, the Jugoslavs and the British are ready to make it a battle to a finish. It is possible, of course, that before the campaign is over, Turkey i have come in on the side of the Allies.

What Russia will do is something probably not even Stalin knows. But one thing is to be expected--initial gains for the Germans. For perfectly simple and obvious reasons, defending forces do not try and defend the actual borders of their countries; they fall back to the first natural defense lines--rivers or mountains, or whatever else they may be. That is why the -Jugoslavs will not attempt to defend a large portion of their country--all the way from southeast of Belgrade to the German border, in the northwest. This part of Jugoslavia is flat, and excellent going for the Gernuin motorized divisions.

The Jugoslav's, doubtless, i i delaying actions, i i roads and bridges, and taking what other toll they can. But there i probably be no attempt to give real battle i the Germans reach the mountainous area. Then, as the I a i a to their cost, it will probably be a totally i matter. In order to conquer the Balkans, indeed, the Germans must i enormous tracts of extremely a i country, i i of traversal i a conditions. But'with Greek and British armies opposing them, and a i every advantage of the will be faced with a gigantic problem--one quite, conceivably which may break i 0 TO ItE A l-'Oll There is a i i of i i that the northwestern section of country is likely to be spa rod the devastation that so frequently has conic in the wake of Spring floods.

The snow'disappeared so gradually, and there was such an absence of heavy and persistent rain, that the rivers have had a i to carry off the a waters in relatively good fashion. There aro always bright spots to observe and be a for, aren't Something to remember when we contemplate the i a i of man to man, and wonder "what on earth the world is coming to." 0 FAR FROM HOME It is very seldom, of course, that an enemy plane in wartime is brought down in such condition that it's anything but a it bits. Pilots may parachute to safety; but, invariably, there is very little left of the plane. However, as the result of certain freakish conditions prevailing at the time, a few German warplanes have been brought down in England almost intact. They have been of great value to Britain aviation experts, of course; and they have been placed at the disposal of American aviation officers now in England.

What may not be generally known, however, is that one of these planes, a Messevschmitt fighter, has been shipped to this country, and now is at the plant of a great California aircraft corporation. It has been given a thorough inspection, piece by piece. Its instrument panel was completely intact and in full working order; in fact, only the most superficial damage bad been incurred, when the plane was brought down. It might be added that the instrument board complete with control stick, was shipped in one crate. The tail assembly, the wings and the were crated separately.

Triple Feature National Defense Inquiry Outdoing Hollywood's Best Efforts WV TETER EDSOX Wean Tinier-Herald Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON--And now comes the inquisition. What started out as one congressional investigation of the defense effort has now blossomed out into a magnificent ti'lplc boil.

It won't be just Senator Truman's committee investigating tho 540 billion already earmarked for national defense and aid to flin. On the other side of the capitol will be two more probes. The House of Representatives, not to be outdone by the Senate, has doubled-the bid ami authorized both its Military and the Naval Affairs Committees to dig into their respective fields of construction, for destruction and the dirt will fly. The job -was just too stupendous for Senator Truman's corn- mi ttee to get going on April 7, as announced, 30 the Scnata slunv will not hold its premiere until April 15. bakliflh, Andrew Jackson May of PreMonsburg, chairman of the House Committee on Military 'Affairs, has let no grass grow on his parade ground, so the first review of what's wrong with defense, will be marched past his reviewing stand at the double quick- in ahort, as well as close order.

The House Naval Affairs Committee chairman Carl' Vinson will riot weigh anchor on its forced draft cruise-of exploration until the end of the month. HOUSE GROUP STEALS 1'LAY Recess or no recess. Chairman May kept his committee in school and so, with no competition, he will have a the headlines for two -weeks, at least. He is going ahead practically without money, for the House recessed without authorizing- funds for tha investigation. May would like to have 5100,000 for the job.

Truman, you may remember, got from the Senate only $15,000. The for the House committee will give you an idea, of' the scope on which its chairman would-like to have the job done, but he would do it all in three months. His plan is to conduct hearings in Washington for the first week or break up the committee into three groups, the first to study aviation, tho second' land acquisition and cantonments, the third procurement and ordnance. The idea is for the three subcommittees to go right, out into-the country and get its evidence first'hand. Without funds, the committee can of course appoint no counsel or investigators to do its special digging, but May, anticipating no trouble about getting-tho money, asked the Department of Justice for recommendations and nominations for a staff, specifying that he wanted men not too cloiwly with on the other hand neither pink, red nor brown in their shades of opposition to industry.
