He fumed and raped at President Benes for nine months btfore he finally decided that the German armies -were ready to invade O-echo-Slovakia. Several times he ate crow and waited rather than take chances on the military outcome". Therefore, it is certain that when Hitler does finally attack in the Balkans, his onslaught will be all the more ferocious because of the Yugoslav face-slap. Also, his advance will be all the more carefully prepared. Already it is reported from Bulgaria Bul-garia that the German general staff has left no detail to chance. Macadam road3 are being1 built behind the German army. Torus of supplies and ammunition have been heaped up along the Greek border. no u. s. surriJES Knowing all this, the new Jugoslav Ju-goslav government, having subsided sub-sided from the first flush of enthusiasm, en-thusiasm, early thij week began to take stock of its military assets. as-sets. Particularly it beean to ask its allies about concrete military support. And since Roosevelt and U. S. Minister Arthur Bliss Lane had be?n delivering encouraging messages mes-sages patting the new government on the back, the Yugoslavs made a discreet inquiry of the Greeks as to how seriouslv Roosevelt's encouragement should be taken. Specifically thev asked the Greeks what military supplies the United States had given them. And they received the very discouraging reply that up until then (March 29) the United States had come across with not one pice of military equipment. NOTE On March 31. probably as a result of this inquiry, Roosevelt Roose-velt suddenly announced that some 75-mm. field artillery was being sent to Greece. I BRITISH NEED MUNITIONS One reason for not sending U. S. supplies to Greece is, first, that we have not had much to send. But even more important Is the fact that when Greek Minister Min-ister Diamantopoulos asked the state department about munitions, th British embassy called him down. Britain would handle all rms purchases from the United States, he was told, and would allocate part of the captured North African arms to Greece. This week also, the Simovitch government asked London friend3 what munitions they could get "direct 'from Britain. This question ques-tion also had been asked by Prince Paul, and the British answer was one reason for his capitulation to Hitler. Bluntly p-ut. the British replied that the Yugoslavs could capture Italian munitions after driving Mussolini's army out of Albania, i !rnr "f , Vx ' l 7 G1?;2I2& 5T& &IJJ17Zrf WHEN you see the Hydra -Matic emblem on the "car ahead," you know it stands for two things: One the drive that's backed by the big CAR Xf.(( 0!! CO : :, it's, -LL To this the Yugoslavs retorled that teir guns had a different bore from the Italian; that it might take a little tims to capture cap-ture the Italian, munition dumps, and finally that they understood the Italian arms already had been promised to the Greeks. These pointed Yugoslav and Greek demands are undoubtedly the chief concern of Foreign Minister Min-ister Anthony Eden and General Sir John Dill In Athens. !MEN VS. MECHANIZATION The British position is completely com-pletely understandable. Desperately Desper-ately short of airplanes, tanks, anti-aircraft guns, and all mechanized' mech-anized' equipment, they cannot spare much more than the United States can spare it for our friends in Latin America. The British must help defend not only the Balkans, but also leave a consid- erable number of men and munitions muni-tions in Libya, where the Germans Ger-mans have now landed five divisions divis-ions to bolster the Italians. Eritish airplanes have been sent to Greece, but not in suffi- ' cient numbers to equal the huge concentrations behind , the Nazi lines, where Hitler is reported to have brought much of the air force previously used against En eland. ' That, briefly, is what the British, Brit-ish, Greeks and Yugoslavs face in the Balkans. From the point of view of modern warfare, it i3 not a happy picture. But from the point of view of morale and manpower, it is different. For the Yugoslav troops are among the most courageous in the world, the Greeks have already demonstrated demon-strated their mettle, and the Australian Aus-tralian troops which Britain is sending to Greece are dare-devils seasoned in North Africa. So it may be a test of morale and manpower versus modern mechanization. I MERRY-GO-ROUND Maxwell Brandwen, long-time legal lieutenant of Associate O. P. M.

Utah Doy Killed In Oonaivay Crash GREAT FALLS, Mont., April 5 (U.I!) Twelve-year-old Joseph Bird, a recent arrival from Utah was killed late yesterday and Arnold Walker, 10, was injured slightly when a team of horses they had taken from a city parking park-ing lot ran away. Bird, Walker and Marvin McDonald, Mc-Donald, 8, "played hookey" from school yesterday afternoon, officers offi-cers said, and went to the parking park-ing lot where Jacob Katterar, a farmer, had left his team and wagon. The boys hitched the team to the wagon and started for a ride south of here. The team, according to county road workers who saw the accident, acci-dent, became frightened and bolted bolt-ed when Bird, who was driving, tried to force them over a cattle guard. Bird was dragged some distance, and received skull injuries in-juries from which he died an hour later. Walker received only minor cuts and bruises. Bird came here six months ago with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Parley Bird, from Salina, Utah.
