From all that can be gleaned from Athens dispatches, he has made up his mind and, by all accounts, his is a mind that stays put. Greece will keep on fighting. There will be no separate peace. The scholarly, soldier, smartly tailored in mufti or in uniform, has been occupied quite steadily with military strategy, both in study and practice, since 19i2. After his graduation from military academies and cavalry schools in Athens, Belgium and Italy, he fought in the Balkan war of 1912 and 1913, rising from a. lieutenancy to a captaincy. In the World war, he fought against Bulgaria and Germany and, in the campaign of 1920, had a staff assignment in Asia Minor.

There are Coventries and Hamburgs and all manner of hapless atrocities. But are these aviatory antics decisive? Apparently not, to date. London may be gutted, but it still laughs and goes to the movies and sings "There'll Always Be an England."

The puris the watery is to cut the new pose of the e of empire, nullify the American "arsenal," and leave the damaged British factories to shift for themselves as they face the hideous hammer of Thor. It is also intended to cut down on foodstuffs, and thereby loose still another of the terrible horsemen of the vaunted apocalypse. In the minds of many threat outweighs critics, the the Balkans, North Africa, the late lamented battle of France, and even the airplanes. It is, as they say, of the essence. All this remains to be seen, but the weather is getting better which means that things may be getting worse. threat The high point of the in the first World war was April, 1917. It was the same month in which America entered the conflict. There was a connection between these events. But in those days, were not too nuthe active merous. Seldom were there more than 30 at sea, at any given time. They operated only from such limited spots as Cuxhaven and Kiel in Germany, Ostend in Belgium, and Austria's old Adriatic ports, for the Mediterranean trade. In 1914, Germany started the war with less than 30 submarines, and perhaps 10 more in the process of building. In the course of the war, there was something like 700 laid down Long Training Needed.

In the first World war 70 per cent of Allied ship losses were attributed to only six such experts. didn't have such an advantageous frontage. The royal air force is constantly bombing German along the vast coastal stretch, when they might better be hammering German factories in the interior. This costs men, planes, explosives, time and money. Meanwhile, the Germans have been concentrating on small submarines. These can be built more quickly, they cost less, and they are just as effective for short trips around the British Isles and west of Ireland. Another very important factor is this: They require much smaller crews, and submarine crews are singularly hard to train. When it comes to Germany may be more pressed now for than for As for sub commanders, to date there are no outstanding individuals exGunther Prien cept the the Perriere of the second world war. Even Churchill admires Prien, and has said so. Small Craft Needed. What the British need is small craft to hunt the subs. They have produced a sort of "corvette" a type modeled on the fast little "chasers" that professional whalers use today. The Britisn have lost heavily in shipping, in the past year and a half.

Sen. Burton Wheeler, spearhead of the opposition, had been so confident in January that he was sure he could hold off a final vote until June! He missed his guess by three months. The question is WHY? There was no lack of filibustering power. The debate could have been indefinitely extended, Innumerable amendments could have been proposed, and each one of the opposition senators could have talked to the limit of his physical capacity on each one of them. There was no other plan than to do pre-- ! cisely this when the debate opened, What caused the abandonment of this fierce resolve on the part of W'heeler and his colleagues? WATCH 'HOME' SENTIMENT To find out why the filibuster collapsed one has to look outside of Washington, and outside of New York. The simple answer is that the men conducting that filibuster, for that is what it started out to be despite all the denials, did not like what they heard from back home about the reactions. A man doesn't get to be senator, except at rare intervals, without knowing a good deal about politics; without knowing just what a political organization can do and what it cannot do. Voting the way a particular constituent wants you to vote on some particular issue does not mean that he will vote for you next time you come up. But when you vote AGAINST what that constituent wants, particularly if he happens to think that particular issue is the most important thing in the world, is very apt to make him vote against you the next time you run regardless of everything else. Too many people, in too many bill states, thought this lease-len- d and its bearing on the war the most important thing in the world. Lots of them did not bother to write letters, but every senator has plenty of listening posts.
