Ad the Btory began to un­ fold as to the actual happenings in Norway at the time o f the German in­ vasion governmental leaders became more concerned over the general out­ look than ever before. That the Eu­ ropean conflagration .‘Will spread to other countries not yet involved seems certain. Every small neutral country in Europe ia in danger..However, the biggest question mark in Europe to­ day is Italy. Confidential reports lead Washington to believe that Italy is preparing to cast her lot with Ger­ many and' wilt probably.hie in the war Within the next, thirty to sixty days, with a possibility that entry may come much earlier. The only thing that will prevent Italy's entrance into the war- on the side o f Germany it is said, is a quick and impressive victory for Great'-Britain in Norway. , ' In giving consideration-to the dif- ’ ferent phases o f the European war now going on it must not be overlook­ ed that in the last World‘ War both Russia ahd Italy fought on the side ' o f Great Britain and France against Germany and Austria-Hungary. To­ day both are more friendly to Ger­ many than to the Allies, and may come in on the German side_at almost any time. Today-Germany^ includes most of-the territory and population that made up the old Austria-Hungary ■a s’ well as much of Poland. Germany has 'between eight and nine million men under arms. France has over five million mobolized, and England two and a half million. Italy today has ap­ proximately two and a half million mem-eadylfor action and Russia has a ' .present-day army of better than five million. Rumania has a present fight- . ing force o f one million men, The United-States has less than five hund- *'Ted thousand mem in the Army and Navy combined, and less than four hundred thousand Men in the'Nfttional ‘ * Ls- ’ *vi,S**v * * ; DIVORCE SUITS FILED . Charging her husband has been keeping company with another wo­ man; M^ry Humble has'brought shit for divorce from Robert L. Humble, Spring Valley on 'grounds of*Cruelty.' -They were married February 14, 1931. The plaintiff seeks custody of a minor child and alimony. Gross neglect o f duty is charged in a divorce complaint filed by Oscar; Everhart, Cedarvile, against Geneva Everhart, 840 Drexel Ave., Spring- field. They were married January 20, 1940 at Urbana, according to the peti­ tion,- . -High' Navy‘officials are demanding ' o f Congress the enactment of a three Million dollar naVal building program,* and are insisting that the naval strength o f the United-States must be increased by at least twenty-five per­ cent' in order to bring the American Fleet up to proper strength. There are many in Congress, however, whd feel , that before the already heavy warship building schedule is materially enlarg­ ed^exact information should be, obtain­ ed as to what actually occurred in.the naval and air 'battles in Scandinavian waters -during the past two weeks. Why build battleships at a cost of fifty to a hundred million dollars each if recent .happenings proved airplanes are superior as fighting machines? Many believe that an increase in our air force is needed much more than an increase in naval power. However, the "‘big navy" farces are strong and final action on the Navy Department’s request will depend upon future de­ velopments.’ The Logan-Walter.Bill, giving the right of rappeal to the courts from rulings, decisions and actions of gov­ ernmental bureaus, commissions, ag­ encies, passed the House late last week after a four day parlimentary battle. Students o f government contend that, the bill is one o f the Most important measures that has been before Con­ gress for a long time and goes far to­ ward restoring the rights o f individual citizens in extending -them protection against the arbitrary actions of the bureaucracy that has been glowing rapidly in recent years. The passage- o f the bill by a vote o f 282 to 97 was a crushing defeat fo r Administrative forces. New Deal leaders both in and out o f Congress used’ every -bit of in­ fluence and power possible to1defeat .the measure.HoweVer, the people back hbtne—the general public-^wanted the measure passed and the House1acted accordingly. iwtirmmminwwi COURT iNEWS ftwwmwHiHiniiiuiniiiiiaiiiihWiiimiiiiU«inmMtoiuuii FORECLOSURE Mortgage foreclosure actions took precedence over divorce* cases in com­ mon pleas court petitions filed within the last week.
