ALLItS FUNERAL.
More and more each cTay'3 record of the fight
ing in the war sounds like the funeral oration of
the allied cause. To say that the allied cause is
critical is understatement of the worst type. By
nightfall Tuesday evening the German forces had
driven their way almost to the channel ports.
French sources admitted that small detachments
of German troops had penetrated to the outskirts
of Abbeville, a village twelve miles from the Eng
lish channel. Dy the time this goes to press the
Nazi legions may have forced their way into the
channel ports. Should the German drive succeed,
the NaTi forces will surround the right flank of the
allied forces in southern Belgium and northern
France. Approximately 030,000 Belgian, French and
English troops will be caught between the Ger
man line3 and the waters of the English channel.
For them there will be little hope. Rumors mean
while teil cf bombing attacks on Paris prcper,
while Eiii-ioh reports tell of considerable volumes
of shaping sent to the bottom of the channel by
German bombers.
Premier Rcynaud told the French senate "Ve
must take immediate action." Just what that ac
tion will , or even can, be taken is hard to tell.
The French government would gladly leave Paris
would it not be co damaging to French morale,
which already seems to be breaking. Bjyond that
one doubts whether there :3 much that the French
government can do under present conditions.
Having co thoroughly underestimated the
strength of the German mechanized attack, the
French general staff seems to know no way of ade
quately resisting the lightning thrusts of their
enemies. So rapidly does one drive follow another
that the Germans were able to claim yesterday
that they had captured General Giraud, the com
mander of the Seventh French Army. With tanks
overruning much of northern front, with the allied
armios in retreat at almost every point, with Brit
ain open to bombardment, with charges of treason
within the French army flying about nothing but
a miracle can save the allies from defeat. The most
optimism one can display is that the miracle may
take the form of a jam in German supply lines, or
a possible break through the narrow columns driv
ing to the sea. Somehow the latter seems Impos
sible, now that the Germans have transferred to
the southern front some 400,000 troops which were
used in the subjugation of Holland.
NAZIS IN AMERICAS.
While European civilization seems hanging by
the thlnnnt thread, we find additional evidence
that much as we would like to have it bo, the New
World is not to be free from the Nazi virus. A
dispatch from Argentina once again emphasizes the
fact that the threat of the spread of Nazi influence
to the western hemisphere i3 more than an Idle
fear. For from Eucnos Aires comes news that po
lice in the inland Argentine city of Campama lo
cated and shut dewn a secret Nazi-controlled radio
station.. For some time the station had been spread
ing Nazi propaganda and its discovery emphasises
once again that South America at least la regarded
as fair prey by the Nazi aggressors.
Add to your list of surrealistic writings, this
parody on the Congo.
Dago driver in a greasy spoon cafe. Heavy
faced man with a union label. Looked and sniffed
and pounded on the table. Pounded on the table.
Speaking to the waitress, like the scolding of a jay,
yelling loud as he was able. "Hey, hey, hey." Yell
ing loud as he was able. Speaking to the waitress,
like the scolding of a jay. Yelling "Coffee, coffee,
coffee, HEY!" Then a premonition conjured up a
vision of that man in a bully-caused collision.
Then I saw a service car, moving from a stop,
cutting through the traffic like a motorcycle cop.
And along the boulevard, a dozen miles, the down
town traffic moved in files. Then I heard the zoom
of a big fat car, and the squeal of its tires in the
street's hot tar, and the roar of its motor as it
gathered speed and charged ahead like a hard
mouthed steed.
"Dodge!" screamed his horn as it passed a
truck. "Dodge!" screamed its brakes, and trust to
luck. And careening on its willful way, it scared
all of the people Scared all of the people. Rattle
rattle. Pish-zing. Swing and swing and swing and
sway. That's the regular performance every day.
From the clean suburbs to the downtown grey.
Poverty is a grey eyed monster, torch-eyed
and terrible, foam-flanked and horhble. So. Zoom,
catch a nickel. Zoom, catch a dime. Zoom, catch
some lunch. And get back in time. "Hey, hey,
hey. Giva me some coffee. Ana some thit spiget
Shut up, you Carlotta. The big Dago might still be
sitting there in the lunch, yet. Buta hurry up Car
lotta. For I gotta git back to my beeg La Salle.
Ana pick up thit loda ana drive lika hell."
But you on the streets. Be careful what you
do. For Tony Sansonni, lord of the highway, and
all the other lords of the highway, may run over

want to be run over, do you. Or do you ?

Candid Clippings

Feeling between the pharraacijis and chemists
at the University of Washington, in Seattle, is run
ning high these days as the majors of each de
partment prepare for the annual pharmacy-chemistry
tug of war. Scene of the titanic battle is the
"Frosh Fuddle," otherwise known a3 the campus
swamp.
When the last grunt has been groaned the
victors will be rtamliiig on the edge of the pool
and the loners will be floundering around in its
murky depths. Captain of the winning squad will
be rewarded by a kiss from the Queen ot his de
partment. The chemists have wen the last two con
tests, and the pharmacists are beginning to won
der if they have been the victims of "nerve gas."
One of the students at the University of Ore
gon, who tired of the constant references in class
room about the war while lessons are forgotten,
sent this quatrain to the "Daly Emerald:"
We don't mind some good propaganda
'Bout peace while revealing war's shams
But can't they lay off for a couple of weeks.
We've got to dig in for exams.
While he wouldn't think of giving his alma
mater back to the Indians, Gene Sarafin, Dart
mouth college nophomore, would certainly like to
bring back some of the old aborogine customs. As
a matter of fact, he would like to establish a var
tlty archery team, rotating to the popularity of
archery In this part of the country, he has gotten
backers to sign a petition asking college authori
ties to establish arch?ry as a bona fide sport.
Newest society to strike the University of Cal
ifornia campus Is the WPLFGMS (Women's Pro
tective League for Graduate Ma!e Students). Go

graduate students are organinzlng a chapter of
"Dames Society," nation-wide group of scholars'
spouses.
