It is idle here to revive the argument about whether or not sinking merchantmen without warn- ng is more or less “inhumane” than such a starvation Jlockade as Great Britain has once again clamped jown on Germany. . The blockade can at least be justified on the zround that, though terrible, it is an effective weapon f war. The sinking of the Athenia is wanton destruction whieving no military or naval advantage for Ger- many Leave humane considerations out entirely. Take the most cold-blooded possible view of war. Still he sinking of the Athenia remains an almost un- believable piece of stupidity The ship was bound away from Europe. It could not possibly have been carrying war materials or sup- )hv\ to Britain or France. It was certain to have “anadians and Americans on board. Could any incident be imagined better suited to tirring up intense Canadian enthusiasm in support of the mother country? Worse, can any incident be imagined more likely to arouse the United States against Hitler? Hitler cannot have the Kaiser’s lofty contempt for American arms.

Wellington, 101) he The Nazi Government denies that the Athenia was torpedoed. Little credence will be given to the denia! because of such recent German statements that “nc minorities have been persecuted in Germany” and that ‘no open cities will be bombed The only other pos- sibility is a jine—either British or German. There is no reason why the British should plant a mine 250 miles west of the Irish coast and direct the Athenia into it. A drifting mine would scarcely be at that point this early in the war, The torpedo explanation fits in too well with other examples of complete German disregard for the opin- on of nations which want to remain neutral. There s no doubt, for instance, as to who bombed Ambas- ador Biddle’s villa outside Warsaw. That also aroused yublic opinion in the United Sf s against Germany without accomplishing the slightest military gain for Germany " We might as well be realistic enough to admit that if the German stupidity of the first 24 hours keep: up during a long war, those who want to keep this country neutral will have a to , if not impossible job cut out for them.

He'd confide in the boy next door. H other eouldn’t fig- ure it out. So she got into casual conversa- tion with the boy next door, and decided it was Bob’s fear of punishment coupled with a sense of shame that kept him silent, ANSWER Next time, when Bob’s base- ball broke a neighbor’s wine dow, she had a talk with the culprit, ex~ plained there wasn’t any punishment forth- coming, but the important thing was for him to admit guilt.

Should a person listen to gos- sip? A. No. When one listens to gos- sip, it is merely encouraging a bad habit in the other person. It has “Narrow- minded and ignorant persons talk about people and not things, hence, gossip is the bane of the age.” Q. Isn't it considered inexcusable for a guest to be late when invited to dinner? A. Yes, it is very inconsiderate and rude unless, of course, the de- lay is caused by illness, an accident, or some such reason. Under those circumstances it would be inconsid- erate of the hostess to resent the guest’s delay. Q. Is a house guest supposed to keep her bedroom in a neat condi- tion? A. Yes, by all means. Otherwise she is often a “one time guest.” DAILY LESSONS IN ENGLISH # By W. L.
