Hofer & Sons, of Portland, Oregon, and mailed each week to the newspapers of the nation, contains in the last issue the most comprehensive, review of the European situation that has-appeared' in recent, Unonths, We quote as follows: : 4Twenty: years after the war 'to make the world jsafe for democracy wrote Leland Stowe, a New jYork Herald Tribune foreign correspondent, re-' rcentiy, '354,000,000 out of Europe's 550,000,000 ; (people, are living under dictatorships in 12 Euro: jpean countries, and democracy is banished-from f our-f if ths of continental Europe.' "Sir Philip Gibbs, the well known English novel ist and journalist, has said: 'The nations are arming again. Men who remember the last war seem to be "preparing for the next. Notherg was learned, noth ing .vyas settled, by that monstrous struggle.' i "For the past few weeks, since the German Czech border crisis was averted, there has been jquiet ;abroad. But it has been an exceedingly omi jnous quiet. The problems that confront Europe grow st.:dily worse, not better. The armament 'race, which has been going on for a year or two, 'has been speeded up. And . while the governments concerned attempt to keep it hidden, it is an open "secret, that mobilization is underway by several imajor powers, that almost all of the powers have perfected plans which make it possible to put the Countries on a war basis in a few hours, and that there are more men and more munitions at the va rious frontiers in Central Europe than at any time in the past. "The place to watch is still Czechoslovakia. It is true that Hitler backed down a few weeks ago, at a time when it seemed German invasion of the Sude ten territory was assured. It is not-true, according to experts in touch with affairs, that Hitler has at all changed his views or desires. He felt then that the time was not ripe and that the risk was too great largely, it is believed, because he has not been given satisfactory assurances that Italy will fight with him if a general war breaks out, in spite of the Rome-Berlin axis. Mussolini is apparently still pursuing a fence-sitting, policy. He wants to back a winner. That fact alone may be all that is holding the Reich in check. "A few days ago a significant change appeared in the attitude of the German' press toward the Czechs. This press is 100 per cent government controlled the principal papers in some cases are owned by high government officials, such as Propaganda Min ister Paul Goebbels. For about a month the German papers said little about Czechoslovakia, and what little they said was relatively conciliatory. "Now they have opened a new campaign against Czecho slovakia bitter editorials designed to inflame the .German people are all the product of one idea : ", that Der Vaterland's patience is becoming exhaust ed, and that either the Czech government must ac cedeto demands which would virtually make it a ward of Germany, or be brought to terms by mili tary force. It is a certainty that these editorials are government-inspired, and they indicate that Hitler is again considering invasion. .t"Engiand still holds the key to the situation. It is English conciliation with Germany and Italy that has encouraged the dictators, and made them more than usually bold. Both Hitler and Mussolini frank ly hope that it will be possible to disrupt the an cient Franco-British alliance which would isolate France, leave her with no nearby friend in Europe, surround her with dictatorships (if, as seems cer- Campus Ghost Robert Greenlees Pearson is among the upper 10 per cent of the graduating class at the University of Kansas this year, but he won't be elected to Fhi Beta Kappa, honorary fraternity, because he admitted in a magazine article that he had been, a "ghost writer" for students at many schools. He had clients at Northwestern university. Wellesley col lege, the Universities of Wisconsin and Wyoming. He guaranteed his work a "B" average or no pay. Fearson is shown talking on the tele phone to a prospective customer. . tain now, the. fascists win in Spain) and greatly re duce her power and her influence. The Chamberlain government is apparently in great fear of taking any step that might provoke the Rome-Berlin axis to retaliation, as the unprecedented spectacle of her passing over with mild protests the fascist attacks on British merchant ships running to ports in Loyal ist Spain shows, i "There seems to be a strong and growing popu lar undercurrent against Chamberlain in the Isles. Eden recently made the most aggressive speech since he left office, in opposition to the govern ment's policy. The by-elections have been running against Chamberlain. The opposition has grovvn more vocal, and seems to have gained supporters in the Commons as well as among the people. There fore, there is always the chance of a shift in the British government that would unseat Chamberlain, and place in power someone like Eden or Churchill who favor cooperation with the democracies against the, dictators. That, many authorities think now, presents the one hope for restraining Hitler,, and for saving Czechoslovakia and perhaps even France." Donkey Baseball Here July 4th Donkey Baseball, one of the fun niest games ever conceived, . is coming to Franklin on July4. The game is being put on for the benefit of the Franklin Fire de partment, and will -be played under lights. . In selecting the players for the game the committee in charge has used great care to pick men who know "Donkey Psychology." After very carefully : going over the list of eligible players in this commun ity the following men have . been listed to play: ' U. S. Forest .Service Rowland,'' Weise, Ansel, Nichols, Wise, Gerard, Wasilik, McGlamery, Trowsdell, Wurst, Baker, Werner, Hertzler, Edwards, Brandt. Fire' Department Moody, Hoilman, Tysinger, J. Cunningham, Grant, Sherill, Bulgin, Welch, Conley, Porter, Ashe, Arvey, Sutton, Pannell, B. Cunningham, Dean. R. V. Miles and B. B. (Uncle Ben) Lenoir have been named as umpires. The Bar-X-Ranch team of Moun tain Donkeys have been trained to play !rt their respective positions and the spectators are guaranteed the laugh of their lives in watching the players try to score. The game is scheduled for 8 p. m. sharp, and will be played on the Franklin high school field. Admission charge for adults will be 25 cents, and for children under 12 years of, age, 15 cents. Hospital News Baby Katherine Alexander, daugh ter ofMr. and Mrs. F. B. Alex ander, is seriously ill in the Angel hospital with a bobby pin lodged, in her stomach. . ' . Dr. J. B. Jackson, prominent phy sician in Clarksville, Ga., has been under treatment at the Angel hos pital for several days. Mrs. W. B. Kesler, of Salisbury, Writer Exposed underwent a tonsil operation Sun day morning. John Slagle also und erwent a tonsil operation Sunday morning. . . Elbert Cope, of Franklin, under went a serious operation several days ago. His condition is satis factory. t Mrs. Jack Gribble, of Franklin, underwent an appendix operation in this hospital several days ago. Her condition is satisfactory. W. R. Bradley, of Etna, under went a serious operation a few days ago. His condition is satisfactory. Urges Growers Keep Watch Over Gardens Outbreaks of disease and insect infestations will do less damage to the garden if the grower keeps a close watch over his vegetables so that control measures can be start ed as. soon as possible -after the plants are attacked. Applications of three-fourths of one per cent rotenone dust will de stroy leaf-eating insects - such as bean beetles and cabbage worms. Plant lice and harlequin bugs also die when covered by ' this ; dust, said .H. R. Niswonger, extension horticulturist at State college. . A distinct, advantage in using rotenone is that this material does not have any harmful effects upon human beings, and plants may be dusted . right tip to the time they are to be harvested without danger of making the consumer sick. Poisoned Bordeaux dust is rec ommended for eradicating flea (beetles feeding on tomato and pep per . plants. Bordeaux mixture will control the leaf spot' diseases of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and cantaloupes, Niswonger added. He also stated that in growing sweet potatoes, . the best results are obtained when .the plants are not fertilized with stable manure or sweepings from the hen house floor. A 3-8-8 fertilizer mixture ap plied at the rate of two to three pounds per 100 feet of row is best ior sweet potatoes for the average soil types, Church Services Franklin Methodist Chjurch The Rev.
