Italy And Germany Line
forces With Japan
Now we know what some of it was all
about—the meeting of Germany with Italy
recently. It was in part an agreement be-
tween the two dictators, Mussolini and Hit-
ler—that they would jointly support Japan
in its aggressive campaign against China.
Following up that decision, both dic-
tators are calling out of China all German
and Italian aviators and other help that
has been given China.
Of course, there will be ample ability
left, either with native aviators or aviators
from other nations to fill 111 the gap with-
out any setback. But the gesture taken by
these two dictators shows where their
: sympathies are placed.
War also makes strange bedfellows.
Back in 1914 when Italy dilly-dallied
about where that nation was going to
cast its lot, it finally dived off the spring-
board into the waters of the allies.
Immediately Germany sent word to
Italy "we vyill never forget nor forgive you
for this step." Germany was badly in
need of the support that Italy might give,
and Italy, vascillating, studied until they
figured the bathing was best in the waters
of the allies and jumped in after nearly all
the rest of the world had taken a stand.
Whether Germany has forgotten that
oath against Italy and is not really in sym
pathy now at all with Mussolini and his
country is known only in the minds of Ger-
mans who carry about considerable ability
to never forget.
At any rate, these two nations have
definitely placed themselves, at outs with
the rest of the world and their only hope is
to try and spread Facism in the other na-
tions of the world until they have succeed-
ed in causing what is now going on in
Spain. i
For that reason, the rest of the world
must be doubly guarded to protect itself
from termites that eat at a country's vitals,

WHO IS THE LITTLE MAN?
(Bonham Favorite)
A remark attributed to tha
president has led the Denison
Press to cogitate a bit. It say:
"If it is true that President
Roosevelt said the 'little man was
for him,' we wonder who are the
little men these days? There
danger of class prejudice being
aroused on such remarks, we)
fear. Anyhow, when do we know
we have found a 'big man'? How
will we know him, what makes
him? When we do, we imagine
we shall find him a very humble
fellow and one who does not know
he is anything but a little man.
Men who start out to be classed
as big, never reach it while
greatness comes to those who take
their seats in the lowly places un-
til the 'man of the house invites
him to sit up higher.' If we make
it hard for the so-called 'big' man,
we wonder just what the little fel-
low is going to do. Some people
like to go about pitying them-
selves and crying against what
they call the big fellows."
I The remark attributed to the
president is intended to convey
the impression that the man of
little means, the man without
means, the man in the humbler
walks of life, is supporting the
president because he believes in
the good intentions of the presi-
dent's plans to improve his con-
dition. We have no doubt that
millions of such men are support-
ing the president. But many of
them are supporting him for the
same rerason that many of the
more prosperous ones are oppos-
ing him—each is doing so from
a purely selfish motive. Millions
of men welcome government pen-
'sions, governmnt aid, goverment
' jobs, government control because
they get, or believe they will get,
personal benefit. It doesn't mat-
tr to them that millions of other
men must labor and sweat and de-
ny themselves that the govern-
ment may have the money to'
meet all its expenses incurred In'
helping the "little man." (
Everyting that the government
can do to alleviate the condition
of the poor, and underprivileged
it should do so long as it does not
unjustly take from one to give
another. But in taking from those
rated as "big men" what is justly
theirs, the government may injure
the very men it intends to aid. Lot
us illustrate. In the world of in-
dustry Henry Ford is one of the
•biggest men in the world. He em-
ploys more labor than any other
one man. So far as the record
shows, flic has never oppressed
his laborers, but has paid always
a little more than other men paid
the same class of workmen. He
has created one of the largest,
businesses in the world that not
only employes tens of thousands
of men in its factories, but uses
materials that give employment
to other tens of thousands of
men who produce them. Suppose
the government so hampers and so
taxes Ford's industries so he can-
not longer profitably conduct his
great business. Suppose it takes
from him his earnings to support
pensioner and unemployed and
build houses for the homeless,
and leaves him nothing for hi*
investment. The result would be
that 'Mr. Ford would be compell •
ed to close his factories and
throw out Of employment tho
other tens of thousands of men
who produce the materials that
Mr. Ford used in making his cars
and trucks and tractors. Not on-
ly that, but it would deprive the
treasuries of the United S'tates in
which Ford conducts business of
the vast amounts he is now pay-
ing in direct and indirect taxes,
i Yes there is much more in mak-
ing an effort to aid the little
man than taking money from the
one who has to give to the one
who has not. It must never be
lost to sight that the little man
who can by any means take care
of himself by proper effort m« 3t
be made to do so, rather than
'teach him that it is the business
'of the government to support him.
Any other course will soon con-
vert all of us into little men.

"That's good news, Old Girl," I
I said to my wife.
"Good newsl" Sally cried. "I
wouldn't think it good news if some
; woman was coming to grab a share
of my fortune on tne claim that she
was the natural daughter of my
uncle."
' "I mean," I explained, "that it is
good news to have something stir-
ring. Aside from learning that Nola
Morin claims to be Wilbur Fellows
wife, and that an aunt left her a
jhouse in Hoboken, it has been as dull
as ditch water for some time."
■, "Do you believe it, Harley?"
! "That this woman is Montieth's
daughter? It's possible, isn't it?"
"That's a silly thing to say."
"I'll tell you this, my dear, Mrs.
Stapleton is quite frank about it.
The little Mrs. Nola Lntzmann he
helped to escape to America was
mighty pretty and sweet, she adored
Montieth, and Mrs. Stapleton
wouldn't put it past him."
"What sort of proof will it have
to be, a birth certificate?"
"That's far from necessary. It
«dght be a letter, a legal statement,
* paragraph in a will—there are
•oeres of ways that it could be
proven."
•It won't make poor Mary very

) I o.nnirt My that 1 was excited,
Ibul T was -nighty curious. Nola
Morin wasn't there when we ar-
rived. I drev* over early to get there
' first.
* "I'm sum you won't take offence,
Judge," I said, "when I suggest that
politeness end kindness are better
bait than harsh words.
"That is right, young sir."
He smiled ait mo. tolerantly.
"What I am getting at, Judge, Is
ihnt I l< now this woman, I have
talked with her eonsiderably. By
nature she is rather aggressive. If
we appear to believe all she says,
and merely hint that, as a pure mat-
. ter of form, we investigate, it will
help put her off her guard. This
, r.:ny cause her to make a few breaks
nd say things that will help us."
"That is right—you do know
something about her, Mr. Steven-
'tin. I don't think we shall come to
,' lows—this woman and myself."
\gain ho smiled at me. g
"And, unless she mentions it, in
hlch case we evince polite surprise,
" are not supposed to know that
lie Is married."
"Will ha be here—who is ho?"
.sirs. Stapleton asked.
"Wilbur Fellows. I thought
f <->ld you, Mrs. Stapleton. Some
i three years ago he forged Mr. Mon-
' : loth's name to some checks—"
"I never knew that!" Judge
Wentworth exclaimed.
"Out of pity for the chap's
< mother, who was Mr. Montieth's
, housekeeper, he didn't have him
(arrested."
"Were they good forgeries or
clumsy, Mr. Stovenson?"
• "That I do not know, Judge."
He fi'owned, tapped the desk and
'said, "Sorry-—damned important to
know that."
He glanced at the clock.
"Five minutes, yet. She will
i-nubtless be prompt."
I got tip and went to th window
stepping back at once because I
recognized Nola Morin across the
strMt. I saw that she had some sort
of a black leather case with her.
"Here she is, proof and all," I told
them, and sat down again. The
judge touched a button and told his
secretary to usher her in when she
came.
When the door opened the secre-
tary announced, "Miss Morin." Evi-
dently she wasn't going to mention
Fellows. I arose, as did the Judge.
"I am Judge Wentworth, Miss
Morin," he said, with a rather court-
ley bow. "This is Mrs. Stapleton, a
sister of the late Mr. Montieth."
Nola bowed slightly. "Yes, I
know," she murmured.
"And you know this gentleman,
believe?"
"Yes." Nola smiled rather grim-
ly, "sort of a fancy detective."
"No, my dear, a friend of the fam-
ily, doing his best to help us," Mrs.
Stapleton assured her
The Judge drew up a chair for
her and she sat down, the black
leather case, with a zipper opening,
obviously quite new, In her lap. She
looked at us rather suspiciously. She
was wondering, I would wager, if
we weren't being just a bit too nice
—overdoing it.
Judge Wentworth was a tine old
diplomat and knew how to put any-
one at ease. He could, I was equally
sure, make one squirm, If need be.
"Naturally, Miss Morin," he said,
re—the executors, two of them be-
ing present, were tolerably sur-
prised at your communication—
your claim."
"Well, you weren't any more sur-
prised than I was, a couple of
months ago, when I found out who
my father was."
"You didn't know, before?"
"I did not. I supposed my mother
was Mrs. Nola Lutzmann, a widow."
"She wai Mrs. Nola Lutzmann,
my dear," Mra. Stapleton said. The
judge shot her a warning glance.
"I believe she was not a widow at
the time I saw her."
Nola stared at her.
"Then you are the sister of Mr.
Montieth who was in Zurich, aren't
you?"
Judgo Wentworth cleared his
throat, loudly.
"Will you tell us, first in a few
words, Miss Morin, on what you
base your claim?"
"It s not a claim, it's a statement
of fact. What I claim is a decent
share of my father's riches."
"You seem to be evading—er—"
"A show-down," I suggested.
Nola Morin grinned at me and
started to speak. The judge Inter-
rupted her.
"Exactly. I have known Mr.
Montieth a great many years, in
fact, since he was a lad. lie was
never the sort of a gentleman who
would havo failed to provide gen-
erously in—ahem—an instance such
as this you claim occurred."
"You may be right," Nola said,
cheerfully, "but that's the queer
part, of It—ho never knew It."
"There!" Sirs. Stapleton ex-
rlaimr.d, as thougli this seemed to
Lear out what she had said to me.
Judge Wentworth, however, didn't
seem to believe it.
"Absurd!" he said.
I was afraid Nola Morin would
take offence but she merely smiled.
"I don't blame you for thinking
so, but it happens to ba true. My
mother, it seems, was sort of a sent!
mental little fool. Sha worshipped
Mr. Montieth."
"But this is most unusual—un-
believable, Miss Morin. Any young
wtman who finds herself approach-
ing—er—m otherhoo d—goes
straightway to the responsible man.
Surely you cannot expect us to be-
lieve what you have said."
"Why not? What good would it
have done? My mother had a hus-
band at this time, over In Zurich!"
The judge looked shocked.
I wasn't startled, 1 saw what was
coming. Mrs. Stapleton had told me
that little Nola T.Mtzinann had 1?d

to escape a dangerously brutal hus-,
band. 'i
The judge glanced at Mrs. Staple-
ton. She nodded and this seemed to ,k
confuse him more than ever.
"When did your mother arrive In ,
America?"
"In 1911, In May."
Again Judge Wentworth looked {
questlonlngly at Mrs. Stapleton. (
"I believe," she said, "our desire
is to be eminently fair with Miss
Morin. What she has said is quite
true, we arrived from abroad, with
Mrs. Nola Lutzmann, in May, 1911."
"And when were you born, Miss
Morin?"
"February 10th, 1912."
There was a moment's silence. I
could have sworn that Nola Morin's
left eyelid was slightly lowered at
me. 0
"And you have evidence of this—
after all, Mr. Montieth wasn't the
only man your mother met in May,
1911."
"I expected something like that."
Morin was changed. Not at all as
aggressive as she had been when we
questioned her before. She opened
the leather case and brought out an
envelope, a long one. In a rather
cramped hand, still giving a hint
that tha writer was more ac-
customed to German script, was
written on it, NOLA
She took out a sheet si paper, the t
old-fashioned, blue-lined type of sta-,
tionery. In one corner was embossed '
a rising sun.
"My aunt," she said, "mixed up .
her writing a little with German, !
mostly in forming the letters. You j
can read it, all right."
She handed both envelope and the I
sheet of paper to Judge Worn ••• rth
He studied It for n r I
could see the corners of M
ton's mouth twitch, bin *<
curious.
"How did you come into posses-
sion of this?" Judge Wentworth in-
quired. '
"It was in a box of papers and old
jewelry and trinkets, that Aunt !
Grilda told me, a week before she
died, that I was to have." ,
"I see. This Aunt Grilder was—?"
"Mrs. Fclder. She left me a two-
family house In Hoboken. I am the
only relative."
"And this is the only proof you
have to offer?"
"Oh, no—there Is more, letters, a
birth certificate. I have plenty of
proof."
The judge cleared his throat and
looked at Mrs. Stapleton and then at
me.
"Shall I read it?"
"By all means—now!"
Again he cleared his throat and
read:
"My dear Nola—1"
He stopped, looked over his spec-
tacles at Miss Morin, and said,
"Might not this have been addrossed
to your mother?"
"It is dated In 1931, my mother
died In 1926," Morin said, rathei >
drily.
"Yes, yes." He proceeded to read i
"Your Mama intended leave
you a letter to tell you who wai
your papa, but it wae to tudden
