Fear of Becoming War Center Grips Balkan Nations Worried Lest Reich or Soviet, or Combination Of Both, Launch Attack By RICHARD MOWRER, Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent. ISTANBUL.—The character of war being waged to date is causing the Balkan states increasing copcern. The daily “all quiet on the western front” war communiques are plung- ing them into the deepest gloom. For they fear that the war that is not being fought conclusively in the west will be fought in Southeastern Europe They are nervously aware that they offer that elbow room for war | that the Maginot and Siegfried Lines have restricted in the west. And | they have any number of worries wi’ | choose from. | | The Germans, reacting against the | | allied blockade, might smash into | | the southeast to grab the food and | raw materials upon which they are |so dependent. Russian imperialism | might head this way. The allies, unable to get at Germany on the | | western front, might be tempted to | | engineer something in the Balkans. | | And as far as Yugoslavia, Greece | 'and Turkey are concerned, Italy's| seizure of Albania and its self-| | definition as a Balkan power are | causes for wariness. | Add to this the persistence of the Balkan quarrels that are keeping the states of southeastern Europe | | divided and suspicious of one an-| | other and consequently vulnerable | to outside interference. g Rumania Feels Alarm. Rumania fears a Russian attack, | or a German attack, or a combina- | tion of the two. When the Germans | attacked Poland, Rumania's greatest | apprehension was Germany. The | “Drang nach Osten” apparently had ‘begun. and the way led through ! Rumania. When Soviet Russia sud- | denly moved westward, colliding in more or less friendly fashion with | | Germany, Rumania was momentarily | relieved that the Germans would not | | reach its northern frontier as ex- | pected. This relief ebbed when the | | Soviet's new-found policy of expan-} | slon extended to the Baltic states | | and Finland. | Today Rumania’s greatest worry | is the pgssibility of combined Ger- man-Russian action. Meanwhile | Rumanians hope that because of | | Germany’s economic advantages ir: | Rumania, the Reich will not permit | Russia to disorganize everything by invading Bessarabia and beyond. Yugoslavia is mostly worried by Germany. The Soviets are still pretty far off. In a sense Yugo- slavia is somewhat guaranteed | against German invasion because such invasion would threaten Italy’s mastery of the Adriatic and turn Italy 100 per cent against the Reich. But a good many Yugoslavs suspect that Italian aid, in the event of ag- gression from the north, would not be palatable. Greeks, Turks, More Confident. Greece and Turkey are guaran- teed by the allies, they have po- Engagements of sisters cre announced.—Mrs. George S. Martin has announced the engage- ments of her daughters, the Misses Elizabeth Anne (right) and Catherine Mary Martin (left). Miss Elizabeth Martin is engaged to Mr. David E. McCoy, son of Mrs. Joseph M. McCoy and the late Mr. McCoy, and Miss Catherine Martin’s fiance is Mr. Edward J. Clarke, son of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Clarke. Suburban Social Notes ' Miss Ridgley and Miss Ireland ‘ Honor Miss Myers at Shower Miss Helen Ridgley and Miss Katherine Ireland of Chevy Chase entertained 24 guests at a miscel- laneous shower and supper party last evening in the home of Miss Ridgley in compliment to Miss Martha Myers, whose marriage to Dr. Alfred H.

Vanderslice, Mrs. Le Roy | of 17 in this day is going to sit at | to get out a very wise old book ca_lle_d the Bible and read that chapter in it about your daughter’s great-great- greatest grandmother. She was a lady named Eve and the very minute & particular fruit was rprbxdden her she went right after it with both hands, although previously she hadn’t craved it at all. Believe me, dear lady, human nature hasn't changed, and especi- ally feminine human nature hasn’t changed one iota in all the years since our first mother risked Par- adise to get the thing demed_her‘ If you want to make anything irre- gistibly alluring to a woman all you've got to do is to make it taboo. And if you want to interest a girl in a boy and make her think that | in love with him and hurry :};e {:n ill-advised marriage, the quickest and surest way is to drive him away from your door and forbid your daughter ever to speak to him. To begin with, such a course out- rages t,hge girl’s sense of independ- ence and rouses every drop of fighting blood in her. She resents being treated as a baby who can be ordered about and not permitted to use her own judgment and discre- tion, and at 17 a girl feels very wise and old and has a lot more self- confidence than she will have at 47. Bo she resents what she considers your tyranny and, no matter what she promises, determines to outwit you as a sop to her pride. Then when you forbid the girl to pee the boy you make her his champion. She is bound to become flercely partisan and to deny to her- self the faults and blemishes which you point out in him. So she builds up a false ideal of the youth and gives him a thousand charms that he does not possess in reality. And finally, as I have said, you make him forbidden fruit and therefore the girl is determined to have him at all costs. More marriages are made by opposition than all the scheming mothers in the world have ever con- trived by subtlety. The way to handle the situation A \ | home and be perfectly happy with dear mamma and papa for her | company. She is going to have beaus. She is going to have dates. She is going to think herself in love, and it is up to you whether she sees boys decently at home under your eyes and with your protection cast about her or whether she meets boys on the street corners and at | drugstores and goes with youths you do not know to questionable places. Any mother who will not let her daughters receive their company at home is responsible if the girls go wrong. |Leap Year Dance A leap year dance Friday at the Carlton Hotel is the next event on the Wisconsin State Society’s winter sccial calendar. All former residents of Wisconsin and their friends are invited to attend. Mr. Douglas Hartman, chairman of the society’s Social Committee, has an- ounced that leap year traditions will be observed at the dance. Visit— from Oklahoma Mr. and Mrs. Frank M. Bristow of Oklahoma City, Okla., are at the Roger-Smith Hotel for a stay of several weeks in Washington. Leave for Florida Dr. and Mrs. E. Osmun Barr of 3623 Chesapeake street, with their young son, left Wednesday for a 10 days’ visit to Florida. Miss Selby to Wed Mr. C. A. McVey Mr, and Mrs. Harry L. Selby of Chevy Chase, D. C.,'announce the engagement of their daughter, Miss Kathleen Frances Gelby, to Mr. C. Arthur McVey" of Al- toona, Pa. The wedding will take place in the summer. tential allied aid at their backs, and they show more confidence in the face of Russian and German threats. But they, too, are apprehensive of | being confronted by the modern streamlined military machine of a great power. Hungary’s most outspoken worry (from the viewpoint of the coun- try’s leaders) is the presence of the Soviets on the Carpathian border it so gleefully acquired from par- titioned Czecho-Slovakia. In a coun- try where land cwnership is re- stricted mostly to a small ruling minority, the specter of Bolshevism is particularly abhorrent. The shades of Bela Kun's Communist regime are flitting around. At the same time, Hungarians are wary of Ger- many’s partnership with Russia. If the Rome-Berlin axis snaps, they hope to be on the Italian end. Bulgaria fears war from the south. If the Germans or Russians should smash through the Balkans, Bul- garians figure that they would be the new eastern front. From the south and southeast would come French, British, Turkish and Greek forces. Disunity Bars Defense Bloc. Although all the Balkan states show fear of the war coming their way, although all speak loudly of neutrality, their disunity makes the formation of a common anti-aggres- sion bloc improbable. Hungary and Bulgaria still aspire to territorial revisionism in their favor. They have dropped all their claims (at least for the present) except those affecting Rumania and Greece, Transylvania for Hungary, South Dobrudja for Bulgaria, and an out- let to the Aegean for Bulgaria. The states of the Balkan entente have steadily insisted on the mainte- nance of the status quo. However, the Balkans’ common dread of the possible extension of the war may lead them to choose between national pride and national existence in favor of a solution of their differences. For war changes the order of things—not necessarily in anybody’s favor. (Copyright, 1940, EL Dally News. 2 I Their guests were Mr. and Mrs. Charles E.
