The Beauties of Bombing Possibly the most sickening thing about the totalitarian countries is their effort to paint war as a glamorous, even an esthetieally beautiful thing. It is not. It is true that while gazing into its grim face mankind' manages to show sometimes its best as well as its worst. But war itself is ugly and evil. , A screwball Futurist poet in Italy, one Marinetti, has now joined Vittorio Mussolini in apostrophizing the beauties of war, saying, "We are very happy in the atmosphere of Mus-solini's Mus-solini's war." This happiness of a 64-year-old "poet" in Rome is probably not shared by all the poor little lads yanked out of their homes in Naples, Milan or Sorrento to die in flaming Koritza. And fortunately, those peoples who know war asii grim and dirty business always manage to do quite well in the long run against those who have been fed on a pap of its alleged beauties.

Most of us have realized vaguely that the high-water marks set at that time are no longer any goal. Now that thesis is punctuated with great clarity by an American Federation of Labor estimate that 46,063,00.0 persons were at work in the United States last month. That is the highest number in history, save for a brief period from May to November in 1929 when employment hit 47,600,000. The number of our remaining unemployed is roughly a measure of how much we must exceed 1929 totals to bring about true prosperity. How many unemployed there are today to-day we do not know, but it seems likely that until well above 50,000,000 people have jobs we shall not be relatively at the 1929 employment level, though we are at the point of exceeding exceed-ing it in actual numbers. Learning About American Freedom In these times it is heartening to note that the New York legislature has passed a law providing that public schools should teach the pupils something about the deep meaning of the Bill of Rights in the American Constitution. In accordance with this mandate, the State Board of Regents has designated a Bill of Rights week for the New York schools. - , ( " It would be a fine thing if everybody took the trouble to read the first 10 amendments to the Constitution. Known as the Bill of Rights, these amendments guarantee about everything every-thing the dictators have taken away and that Americans Just to mention them is to give the measure of American Ameri-can liberty: no established state religion, freedom of religious worship, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, no right of search of a man's home without warrant war-rant from a court of law, when accused of a crime the right to a speedy, public and impartial triai, coupled with the right lo confront witnesses for the prosecution and the right to summon witnesses for the defense.

I heard no sound, no person met my vision, And there seemed only desolation there. I walked with head bent low against the coldness, And murmured in my he3rt against the snow; For why the winter cold should dominate me, And where had gone the spring, t did not know. i . Nor could I fathom why the sun kept hiding, Nor why t'ne winter day3 should last so long, Oh where had gone the dainty buds and blossoms, And where the songbird with his lilting song? - Then suddenly from out the dreary morning, I heard the music of an old refrain; I stopped and looked, alert to see the singer, But failing, hurried on my way again. ; And as I trudged along that song I pondered, And as T thought, my heart was filled with shame With shame that I so seifishly had murmured, W'ith shame to think I failed to play life's game. I stopped and looked around me, and I marveled To see the fairyland in which I stood. The trees were clothed in filmy. - frosty garments. How picturesque . the bush, the hill, the wood! Contentment filled me ron thai' Winter morning, -.. ' " ' No sound was heard upon the frosty air, But T saw the work of God through nature, y Exhibited in the landscape everywhere.

Ucatfior Grounds ' Bombing Squads LONDON, Dec. 11 (l!.P) Bad weather on the continent which grounded out most of Germany's planes was credited today with liaving prolonged the present respite from aerial bombings. Two German planes brought London, just before dawn, its first air raid alarm in 48 hours. Anti-aircraft guns drove them off and the alarm period was brief. A single German plane dropped a number of light bombs after circling a northeast coast district, but made off before guns could got into action. ,. No reports of damage or casualties casual-ties were received. The lull was attributed to the sort .nf weather on the continent which at times had hindered Royal Air Force planes in their attacks.

UTAHNA: Special Attractionl mm mm- .' And His Hawaiian Orchestra UJedncsday, Becssabr 11 Ladies lOe Gents 45c j Starting in U. S. Capital 'Free France' Campaign BY BRUCE C-ATTON (Daily Herald Washington Correspondent) WASHINGTON. Dec. 11 A new campaign aimed to bring about recognition of the "free France" regime of Gen. Charles de Gaulle is about to get under way in. Washington. Under the surface, it has some extremely interesting possibilities. possibili-ties. De Gaulle is sending to Washington Wash-ington his personal representative representa-tive one Jacques de Sieves. ' De Sieyes. a French importer and a former schoolmate of De Gaulle, has been in America some time and had a leading part in organizing organ-izing the ''France Forever" movement move-ment which can be described, roughly, as a soil of William Allen Al-len White committee put together in the United States in the interests inter-ests of the De Gaulle group. Dr. Sieyes is coming to Washington, Wash-ington, however, more as the ambassador am-bassador of DeGaulle than a3 head of an unofficial civilian committee. com-mittee. His arrivial will touch off a high-powered campaign designed de-signed to front-page the DeGaulle Jnovemrnt with the 'American public. Beyond that, the real hope of the DeGaulle group is- ultimately ulti-mately to gain recognition by the U. S- government as the actual, legal government of France. BIG STAKES That, of course, is a long way off probably. But since the stakes are huge. L'eGaulle can afford to take a long-range view. Half of these stakes are right here in Washington. They consist con-sist of approximately $1,500,000-in $1,500,000-in gold and securities owned by the French government and sequestered se-questered by the United States since the occupation of France by the Germans. Tf DeGaulle could ever gain recognition and get control of that fund (fully half of which is in gold) he would be enormously strengthened. The other half of the stakes are in Africa, where Gen Maxime Weygand cannily bides his time in virtual control of the immense resources of the French African empire. Weygand could transform the "Free France" move from an unofficial group to a power which could logically claim to speak for France. So far he has kept aloof fom Nazi banishments. WY-GlSrrbrbrrwrae LIGHT ON LEAHY The U. S. govenment, of course is plying the cards very close to its vest on all of this. Nevertheless, Never-theless, it isn't exactly ignorant of what De Sieyes is up to and there are signs that it isn't exactly ex-actly hostile, either. Unofficially, De Sieyes has talked to high goivernment officials of-ficials in Washington already. The fact that Britain is working closely with the DeGaulle group is also calculated to be an item in his favor. Beyond this, there is the recent appointment persons who had a good close-up look at Leahy's recent experience as governor of Puerto Rico. They report that while he is an excellent executive and administrator, his Puerto Rican career was unhappy simply because he is no diplomat. Purely as a supposition, however how-ever the appointment becomes understandable if it be imagined that the U. S. doesn't propose to. be conciliatory with the Vichy regime but instead means to be hard-boiled and firm. High School Play Staged at P. G.

Cranium Crackers ABOUT COVENTRY One of the cities hardest hit by German raids on Britain has been Coventry, which suffered intensive raids in mid-November. Here are five queries about that city; how many can you answer? . 1. Is Coventry in the north, middle or south of England? Can you name the county in which it is located. 2. What is Coventry's strategic importance? 3. A statue of Peeping Tom stood through the intensive German Ger-man raids. At whom did Tom peep ? , 4. Approximately how large a city is Coventry? 5.
