MARK TWAIN. Once upon a time, if the question were asked who was America's best beloved author, the answer would proc- been Longfellow. Nawadays the reply would nrobably be Samuel L.

Clemens, much better known as Mark Twain, whose birthday will be celebrated on isov. could be more American than Mark Twain. Born in the village of Florida, in 1835, he became in turn a a printer, a Mississippi river i he got his pen name. Mark Twain, from a call us-fl by i a newspaper writer, lecturer and author. IJc was brought up in what is now a vanished civilization, he River and the Far West of SOi yean, ago, and HP has brought it home to us all.

Just before thc American invasion of North Africa, with consequences in thc complete German occupation of France the Fighting French delegation Washington made a statement as to thc cost of occupation by the Germans of what was thren called "unoccupied ranee. It is now, doubtless, greatly increased. Thc daily cost was then 300,000,000 francs, or $7,500,000 That is enough to pay a yearly salary to 20,000 unskilled French workers, or to build 2,500 work--" homes, or to i 80 miles of railway, i nala, bridges and stations, or to buy 150 locomotives Thc cost of every hour of German occupation enough to support 500 French families of three people each for a whole year. This is a lot of money for the impoverished French to spend.

If they could buy the 2,500 workmen's homes one day with thcir'money, or thc 150 locomotives another day, and thc 80 miles of railway line the next, it might be well spent. As it is. the money goes to keep a lot of unpleasant Nazi soldiers bossing the French around in their own country and making life generally almost too hard to en- COMMUNITY HISTORY IN THE MAKING Items Culled from The Columns of The Kokomo Tribune of Seventy-floe. and Twenty-five Years Ago Kecnllina People of Earlier and The Things They We.re Doing.

He turns state's evidence against his accomplices, and saves his own skin at their expense. It is regrettable, and TIO one admires the criminal who profits by it, but apparently it has to be done. It looks as if something of the sort were taking place with regard to Admiral Darlan. Whether or not he is a Nazi at heart, he has certainly played their game in France. Hatred of the British is said to be the cause in his case.

If so, it has undoubtedly led him on the same paths as those with out-and-out Nazi sympathies. Now that he is in American hands, and under our watchful eyes is allowed to function as head of the government in North Africa, he can be useful.
