Sweet War Baby A doctor, who is also the health officer in a North Carolina town, saw a package on his doorstep. It turned out to be not what anyone might think the bundle on the doctor's doorstep might be. It was heavier than a baby. It had quite a different feel as it was lifted, and it bore a label, "To the health department." It turned out to be 25 pounds of sugar.

At intervals a relief ship is sent to carry food amd to rescue any castaways to be founl almost entirely uninhabited. Being volcanic in origin, their shores often lashed by severe storms, the Auck-lands are not attractive to settlers.

Five years after the Yankee whaler sighted the islands and reported their location, a British vessel owned by the old whaling firm of Enderby Company under the guidance of Captain Briscoe, landed on them in 1806 and established a whaling base. That gave the islands to Great Britain and their chief use today is in uue 10 ine manner in which tfte food depots are constructed, and tie cold weather, food remains in perfect condition for many months. One of the first vessels wreclped on the Aucklands after the depots were established was the General Grant. This ship was caughl in a huge indented cave. In swirling waters and beaten by the ocfean waves, it was literally pounded! to connection with New Zealand's fish ing industry.

Crashing World In Germany they believe in -catching them young. The nazls start on boys only 10 years of age, and make them enter so-called halls of nazi learning. From then until death the nazi grip is on them. Whatever else they learn (and it is not much, outside of the use of weapons), two things are driven into them: Belief in Hitler as an infallible leader, and the idea that the finest thing in the world is to die for Germany. We can sympathize with the feeling of patriotism that this latter piece of training expresses, but the systematic teaching of Hitler-worship is appalling.

What will happen to these boys when Hitler falls, and Hitlerlsm with him? How do people feel, and what do they do, when the bottom drops out of their world? though it rarely ever exceeded the number of men and women who originally loeted there. The community as such was abandoned in 1839, and since that time the tem porary occupants have been mostly scientists and explorers in general. Ships Never Left this year, amid circumstances in which we turn -our thoughts to that memorable day of July 4, 1776, none can let it pass without a renewed appreciation and devotion to the cause of liberty. For liberty as we inherited it from the generations before us, who fought to gain and preserve it, is in jeopardy throughout the world. The American brand of freedom, under which we have progressed, and which we have shared with millions from foreign lands who have come to live among us, is under attack on many fronts.

This day, then, is a challenge to our vigilance and resolution. It is the occasion for reawakening our realization of that vital truth that we cannot have liberty perpetually unless we are willing and prepared always to defend it. There are contributions that all can make. Rather there are obligations that" everybody must discharge. Each of us in and out of the services has his daily mission, his regular privilege to take part in the gigantic effort that we must make along with our allies to subdue now and for years to come the menace to free men built up under the authoritarian states.

In our minds there must be no minimizing of the task, no attitude of complacency, or of willingness to leave the burden to others. Indeed, let this Independence day be an occasion for a unanimous redeclaration against the forces which have ben set against us; let the spirit of the beginning of America rise again as it has on other occasions to safeguard through this, another hour of peril, the heritage won by our forebears in bitter campaigns and left mutt-rs. zztt Most of the ships that visited the Aucklands prior tot the nineteenth me reuei aepot ana lived untni a rescue ship arrived many weeks later.

The last great shipwrecks on the shores of the Aucklands occurred in 1904, 1905 and 1907. However, because of the experience of previous ships, most of the crews of these vessels were one crew in a most curious manner. The ship was dashed against the cliffs and heeled over, the tall masts resting against the cliff tops. The survivors climbed up the slanting masts and gained a foothold on the rocks.

The ship carried a human cargo of 371, but it is not known how many landed. Yet it is known that after months the survivors built an improvised boat from the wreckage of their vessel and managed to reach Stewart island, It takes a beauty specialist to make a mountain out of a mole.

recorded in Attack to Preserve Freedom! It has been said of the British troops throughout this war that, while they always fought bravely, their fighting was defensive rather than aggressive. Perhaps in most cases this could not be helped, because they were so greatly outnumbered that they often had to fight "walking backward."

Tom's hand found hers and the pressure of his warm fingers was reassuring.

Her own fingers clung tightly to his. Danger had brought her close to Tom again. He bent his head to touch hers. "You're a swell girl, Judith," he whispered and his lips brushed her red hair. Judith opened her mouth to speak but closed it again.

"If you persist in talking, you will be gagged," Karl threatened. At the threat, Tom's body had grown rigid and the grip of his fingers had almost paralyzed her hand. She waited for him to relax and then she turned to face her enemy. "Couldn't you take this thing" off my eyes?" she asked softly. Without answering, he reached up and pulled the fold from around her head.

She rubbed her eyes and then took in the gunmen watching her closely, guns in sight. She drew a deep breath. "You can take his off, too," Karl told her, and she removed Burke's bandage. After that there was silence except for the purring of the engine as they slipped through the night. Judith wondered where her detective body-guards could be, but surmised tfiey were responsible for their sudden exit from the house.

An Invented Finis? The Germans have published the names at least they declare these to be the names of the two Czech patriots who executed Heydrich the Hangman in most impromptu fashion. The story the gestapo tells is that the Czechs were captured while hiding in a church In Prague and that they were immediately put to death. The heroes were Jan Kubis, 29, and Joseph Babick, 30, according to the Germans. If this is true these names deserve to be glorious, for they were those of patriots as fearless as any legendary William Tell. Having slain hundreds of innocent Czechs in cruel reprisal, before the two assassins were taken (we dislike the noun, and use it but for convenience), the Germans are more than suspect of having invented the finis.

Sadistic as their retaliation had been, and though the blood-lust of the gestapo may not have been sated, it was obvious that the butchering of the Czech people could not go on indefinitely. A plausible reason for stopping it must be found. But we think the plausibility of the finis is brought even more into question when the Germans tell us that the two men who killed Heydrich the Hangman were landed from a British plane, by parachute, months ago, with instructions to hunt the fellow down. Assuming that the finis is spurious, or that it isn't, we perceive that the Germans were not content until they had added this touch of characteristic anti-British propaganda. By such means the credibility of the story, which the Germans wish us to accept as final, assuredly was not enhanced.

The Oregonian, Money Hot and Cold Warning is out that the nazis may unload in this country some "hot" American money stolen by them in Europe. Some $1,000 and $500 American bills were recently found on a steamer in the West Indies. The treasury has published serial numbers of American bills believed to have been stolen by the nazis in Europe. This little item leads to a number of thoughts. Irresistibly the mind turns to the possibility of German submarines refueling from "bootleg oil and gasoline supplies in the Caribbean sea with its myriad islands and inlets.

That sea was a favorite of pirates for three centuries partly because of the rich Spanish galleons coming from the Spanish Main and Panama and partly because of the hundreds of hideaway ports available alike to the pirate and his smuggler fence. The islands off our southern coasts could be as annoying as the hundreds of Pacific islands that we fatuously allowed the Japanese to acquire at Versailles. If the next peace is to be real, we shall have to take over enough islands to, warrant the creation of a new cabinet job for a secretary of islands. The publication of the serial numbers of nazi-held "hot" money again points to the restraints upon piracy, on all forms of theft in fact, through the use of paper money and credit instruments. When Henry Morgan roared up and down the Spanish Main drinking black rum when it was red, there was no such thing as "hot" money.

Every doubloon, every piece of eight was money in its own right, and no one could make it too "hot" to pass. That sort of money met In every respect the Roman idea that the essential quality of money was that it had no odor a quality that survived with respect to gold bullion and gold coin at every mint and subtreasury of the United States up to 1914, at least. No questions were ever asked at those establishments when gentlemen presented themselves with gold for sale or exchange. Those were the days of real "liquidity." The nazi ravings against the gold standard in the early days of the party might not have been so loud had they foreseen the day when metal money in the old style would have been just the stuff for them, as it always has been for members of the Order of the. Forty Thieves.

The Chicago Daily News. Whaf You Buy With WAR BONDS This is one of a series of war bond articles prepared by and published at the request of the treasury department. Life "floats" are replacing life boats in many instances in our navy because of their greater safety and less likelihood to splinter or be affected by shell fragments.

The British were accused of a lack of the "up-and-at-'em' spirit especially after the recent Libyan fighting, in which they had the' initiative but lost it. The Hitler and Rommel method is persistent attack. This is also the Stalin method, which so far has saved Russia. It has been the American method, by which we have won notably at sea, and which presumably will be used also on land. Of the Russians at Sevastopol, the New York Times said recently: "There has been no courage in this region in historic time that can match the courage that is being shown there now.

If every position of the united nations is defended as this is being defended, with the spirit not of defense but of impassioned attack, we need have no fears as to the outcome of this struggle. Only so can Americans win in this vast and perilous war. We may not need to summon up the noble Russian spirit. It has long been the American way and it was the French way." On this anniversary of American freedom, and on- every day hereafter until the war is won, it should be fought in the spirit of Marshal Foche who, at a crucial point in the Battle of the Marne, when asked what he meant to do, replied: "My center is yielding, my right is in retreat. The situation is excellent.

I am attacking." Factory Orphans When father is in the army and mother is in the factory, what happens to the children? In far too many cases they become what might be called industrial orphans obliged to take care of themselves during the day. And one angle is especially bad. In some places it is said to be a common practice this summer, when the parent goes to work, to turn them out to play and lock the door. There is even a name invented for this sort. They are called "door-key children," because of the key hung around the child's neck on a string.

Naturally from these and similar causes, with lack of home control and exposure to bad associations, there arise many cases of delinquency. Children left to shift for themselves in mixed neighborhoods learn some evil things. Both health and morals ESCAPE CHAPTER IX TOR the next few minutes they alternated their conversations between whispers and loud talk. "If I only had a gun," he whispered despairingly, "I might do something." Her eyes lighted with a smile. Without making- a comment she put her hand into her purse and drew out the small automatic.

He was astonished, but his fingers closed over it and her hand too. Forgetting to be watchful he exclaimed: "Did I ever tell you, Judith Kingsly, that you" are the most wonderful creature on earth and the loveliest?" He snatched a kiss from the upturned face. She drew back quickly, her heart racing and her eyes soft. "Tom," she murmured. A door suddenly opened and Karl came in, followed by some men.

"Ready to talk, Burke?" demanded Karl. Judith realized the men had been waiting for some sign that she was not a stranger to Tom, and now his words had given them their cue. They knew now he would be willing to sell the plane's secrets to save her. In1 the end they probably would kill them both. She stared in mounting terror at them.

"Are you ready to talk, Ir. Burke?" Karl repeated. His voice was a bit high as if he were exasperated at having to ask his question again. Burke's lean, suntanned face gave no hint of his thoughts, but Judith detected the stubborn set of his jaws. "I have nothing to say now, or at any other time." "No? Perhaps in a little while, my friend, you will be glad to tell all I want to know." There was a savageness in Karl's eyes and his hands drew into tight fists at his side.

"We have ways of making men talk." Karl glanced at his watch. Heavy, his eyes narrowed and watchful, focused a gun on Judith and Tom. A swift urge came over Judith to throw off her fear and break the1 awful silence in the room. Once again, her fighting spirit soared to her rescue. "I havent had anything to eat, yet," she said suddenly.

The men were startled by the calmness of her tone. "You did promise me food." She tried her winsome smile, but it had no effect on KarL Heavy's mouth twisted at the corner with the beginning of a grin, but only for a moment. Then his face became the hard mask of a moment before. A man standing back of Judith spoke: "The dame is made of ice." She turned slowly and saw the man who had kidnaped her in the taxi. Karl said curtly: "Bring in the tray, of food," and the man back of her moved away to carry out the order.

TVOT once did Heavy relax his vigil with the gun. Burke kept his gaze fastened on Karl though Judith knew he was watching the other man from the corner of his keen eyes. Tom had her gun and she knew he was waiting an opportunity to use it It would be siicide to try anything now. Her thoughts made her shiver. The blond spy with his close-cropped hair gave her a curious glance.

"Cold?" Judith looked at him but did not offer to answer his question. Instead, she turned her blue eyes on Tom. He moved his steady gaze to her face for an instant. Tom still loved her, she realized, though no word passed between them. "Your nose is shiny," Tom said critically.

Judith's mouth fell open and for a minute she had the mad desire to slap him. Burning with anger, she turned her back on him and opened her purse, drawing out a vanity case. She applied the puff to her nose with more vigor than was necessary. "Better?" she asked acidly while the captors looked on slightly puzzled at the act going on before them. He shrugged.

"A little." When the food was before her, the men stood guard like so many buzzards. Judith grew more self-conscious with every bite she took. But she was hungry, even if this might be her last meal, on earth. The thought occurred that the food might be poisoned, but she cast it aside. It was not their time to die yet Just as she finished her meal another man came in the room and whispered to Karl, excitedly.

They spoke in a foreign language, but Judith guessed from their manner that the matter was serious. Sharp commands were given at once, and she and Tom were pushed roughly through a door and down a dark halL Muffled sounds and shouts came from behind them, but they moved on until all was silent around them. Before a closed door, a blindfold was tied over their eyes. Then they wer ushered out and into a car. TUDITH sat between Tom and Karl as they sped away through the night Two other men sat on wall.

The men got out and motioned Judith and Tom from the car.

Karl and one of the guards walked in front and Heavy came behind them. Again Tom's hand found hers and their fingers twined tightly as they walked down the boards over the water. She wanted desperately to whisper that she loved him and that all the things she had said when they parted ways were lies. But then. The pressure on her hand gripped harder.

Suddenly Tom plunged into the water, dragging her with him. They went under with a mighty splash and the cold Pacific was four months in the workhouse. Magistrate William W.
