America is awake at last. We have been trod upon by as bloodthirsty a crew of international puates as ever banded themselves together upon this earth. We won't let them get away with it in 1940, any more than we would in 1776 or 1812 or 1899 or 1918, Our warning to them again is “Don’t Tread on Us.”” And the American people have never played a bluffing game. WE CAN AFFORD TO BE GENEROUS Juneau’s trailer ambulgnce campaign, started only last Monday with a brief news story on the want-ad page of The Empire, is nearing successful conclusion, Up to this morning more than $200 had been contributed toward the $350 trailer ambulance which is to be given by the people of Juneau to some smal] town in England. As explained in the original appeal from the American Trailer Ambulance Committee, the larger cities and boroughs of England are well provided with motor ambulances for use in air raids. But the smaller communities have for the most part been overlooked. Of course, the small towns are just as likely to be attacked by air raiders as are the larger centers. A news story in last night's Empire, for instance, told of a German plare flying low over a Midlands field and machine gunning workers there. In such instances, which must be many in the present attack on the British Isles, a traller ambulance such as Juneau is buying would be of tremendous usefulness in saving lives and comforting the injured.

(Philadelphia Record) The Wdr of Independence—or at least that phase | of it dealing with the historic battle of Red Bank— is in danger of being refought, And just when Anglo-American relations were so pleasant, too! It's all because of a disagreement between Daughters and a Son of the American Revolution. The Daughters plan to dedicate a monument to the battleship Augusta, which figured in the battle of Red Bank and whose hulk, they are told, is partly visible in the Delaware off Gloucester, N. J. But Dr. Carroll H. Francis, U. S. Navy retired, Camden historian and a Son of the A. R. himself, contends: (a) that the Augusta was not an Ameri- can ship which perished bravely for the cause but, on the contrary, an enemy craft which was blown up and sunk by the Continentals October 24, 1777; (b) that it went down near Billingsport, 10 miles from Gloucester, and (¢) that what the D.AR. pro- poses to glorify probably is an old ferryboat that sank in the mud at that spot years ago. In firing his broadside, Dr. Carroll quotes Ad- miral Howe’s account of the battle of Red Bank pub- lished in the London Chronicle December 2, 1777, which regretfully tells of the Augusta's loss and describes it as a “British ship of 64 guns under com- mand of Captain Reynolds.” volley of their own. our Navy sight, solved never to use. decency. how the war can still be going on.

National Issues: Campaign speeches will vie with war news for radio time, as party slogans carry conviction to the men and women in the, street. Sensational charges and whispered scandals re- garding waste of relief money and WPA materials will turn votes away from the President, but, the stars will continue to smile upon him. Both candidates for highest office should safeguard health. European dictators will watch the United Statet with wishful think- ing and employ secret measures to defeat the party now in power. International Affairs: For the Pope there are portents of great anxiety. Vatican diplomacy will be severely tested as Mussolini takes advantage of opportunities to ex- pand Italian interests. The stars presage the extension of church influence in conferences and dis- cussions by representatives of vari- ous nations.
