Knowing the cold,r calculaging desperation that has motivated:the German high command in’ pre- vious wars, the Dutch and the Bel- gians cannot but see in thein own countries the logical battlefields of today—just as ‘they always, have been the logical battlefields when England was invelved in a European war. NATURAL BATTLEGROUNDS AIX-LA-CHAPELLE (now Aachen) looms large in the history books. Belgium was the scene of the final military drama of Na- poleon’s career. Belgium and Holland are the wedges between European powers and the British forces. They are natural battlegrounds because they have no high-ground barriers to invasion Before hostilities officially be- gan, these neutrals once before of- fered their good offices for peace. They did what they could in the interests of humanity. No most diplomats feel, they are acting solely in desperation to protect their own people-—which, after all, is their first concern. It’s in Belgium's Flanders fields that the poppies grow—and in Bel- gium where the graves of -thou- sands upon thousands of peace- loving Belgians bear witness, to the ironic geographical fate that, has made Beligum and Holland the scene of Europe's decisive battles through the centuries. It is also ironic that. a, nxtlon 3,000 miles across the m‘ tic should make a decision which brings tiny Belgium and Holland bagk into the limelight as apgstles of peace—for their own security.

Isn't it poor taste for the friends of a newly married couple to make them conspicuous in pub- lic by attaching placards to their car, and performing other such so- called jokes? A. Yes. This is not only very bad taste, but often vulgar. Marriage is too sacred to be made a public jest | by self-appointed clowns. | Q: At a holiday dinner, Thanksgiving or Christmas, service might be called formal, is it all right to offer s second helping of such as where semi- the a tur- all married means do so, woman is Yes, by Q. -When a traveling alone, should she sign the hotel register, Mrs. H. L. Hud- son, or Mary Lou Hudson? A. She sheuld sign, Mrs. H. Hudson, and her home city, not her street address. .- Lee Rox Seems L. but Alarmist Lee Rox, well known resident of Juneau, apparently has a job as an alarmist. When the slide on the hillside occurred on the evening of No- vember 22, 1936, it was Rox who turned in the fire alarm sum- moning aid and also giving a warning to those in the slide section. As a coincidence, it was Rox who turned in the alarm last Monday afternoon warning of the slide on the hillside. D The Boox ALASKA, Revised and Enlarged. Now On Sale; $1.00. Dr. A. W.
