Between the Headlines By Fleetwood Lawton THIS PHONY WAR"—Not so many now are the innumerable grand sand quarterbacks who, until a few weeks ago, were denouncing the European war as a "phone." These parlor strategists can now read at a safe distance, of carnage and horror enough to satisfy even their bloodthirsty demands. Now I Duce has led Italy over the cliff and into the abyss of war. All that he has achieved for his country, and it has unquestionably been much indeed, with all that might have been gained through the ways of peace, will be offered as hostage to hate, envy, and greed. For months Mussolini has been seated at the gaming table without making a bet, now he seems decided to risk everything on a single spin of the wheel. In entering the war, Mussolini is gambling, not only on the eventual result of the war, but also on its duration. In all the world, no first class nation is less able than Italy to stand the drain of a long war. The Italian press has been full of boasts that eight million men will leap to arms at Santa Fe Railway Reveals Plan for New Station Here Depot Will Be Constructed In Anaheim Before End of Present Year Construction of a new station in Anaheim before the end of the present year was promised to a group of Anaheim business people last Saturday noon by F. J. MacKie, assistant general manager of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway company, Coast Lines. MacKie's announcement was made during a luncheon at the Marigold cafe. The new station will be erected on the site of the present depot, MacKie told the group at the luncheon, and will be a credit to the city of Anaheim. He also congratulated the people of the city for their patience, adding that they had not harrassed the company over a situation that they knew needed improvement. "We appreciate your tolerance," he said. Millions Expended MacKie called attention to the For months Mussolini has been seated at the gaming table without making a bet, now he seems decided to risk everything on a single spin of the wheel. In entering the war, Mussolini is gambling, not only on the eventual result of the war, but also on its duration. In all the world, no first class nation is less able than Italy to stand the drain of a long war. The Italian press has been full of boasts that eight million men will leap to arms at the command, but lack of leather will mean that fully half of them will leap barefoot. Fascist leaders picture Italy as a steel guillotine poised to sever Britain's lifeline, but no nation is more vulnerable to attack from aid and sea, and even Italian economists admit that after six months of war, Italy's position will have become desperate through lack of essential supplies. Most of the materials which the Rome end of the axis lacks are also scarce at the Berlin end. From a psychological point of view, also is in a weak position. The Italian public knows far more of the causes and background of this war than do the Germans. The average Italian is definitely against the idea of going to war at all, but if he must fight he probably would prefer to fight for some other cause than Hitler's, alongside some other ally than Germany. Even today Germany and the Germans are far from popular south of the Brenner Pass. Mussolini can force war on his people, but to make them like it or even endure it, he must have a speedy string of flashes and not too expensive victories, and the war must be over before Italy's peak effort end through lack of supplies, that is, within six months. If the big German offensive against Paris fails to knock France out of action, then the war seems certain to settle down into a marathon, and Italy is strictly a sprinter. And even if complete victory over the allies is won, Italians are uneasy that it may be a wholly German victory, with Italy no more than the tail on the nazi kite. UNEASY NEIGHBORS — From Washington, D. C., eyes are turned southward to Latin America these days as the old Monroe doctrine becomes the new policy of hemisphere defense. General Marshall, the army chief, and other important personages, hint broadly that there are definite possibilities The new station will be created on the site of the present depot, MacKie told the group at the luncheon, and will be a credit to the city of Anaheim. He also congratulated the people of the city for their patience, adding that they had not harrassed the company over a situation that they knew needed improvement. "We appreciate your tolerance," he said. Millions Expended MacKie called attention to the fact that the Santa Fe company had spend millions in improving its cars, engines and trackage during the period of lax business, pointing out that the equipment must be kept in shape to serve the public. He also advised his audience that the Santa Fe has constructed several new stations in southern California cities in recent years and the present plans call for a new depot in Pomona as well as Anaheim. Both stations will be erected simulataneously. The assistant general manager did not mention the cost of new station to be erected here. Appreciation Told The appreciation of the city for the new project was expressed by Mayor Charles A. Pearson, and Louis H. Hoskins, president of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, requested that the city be given an opportunity to present a dedication program after the building is completed. William Fennell, Anaheim station agent, introduced the speaker and other representatives of the (Continued on page 6) Rossberg Seated As Club's Leader Robert J.

Campbell Conducted Yesterday Afternoon Funeral services for Hayden P. "Harry" Campbell, 50, funeral director in Anaheim with the firm of Backs-Terry & Campbell since April 1, 1922, were conducted yesterday afternoon from his own chapel. Rev. Virgil K. Ledbetter of Colton, formerly pastor of the Calvary Baptist church here, officiated, and interment was made in the Rose Hills mausoleum at Whittier. Campbell died early Monday morning at his home at Lemon and Cypress streets after an extended illness. He was born at Crockett, Texas, on June 1, 1890 and between 1910 and 1922 was manager of a Los Angeles caskey company. He was active head of the Backs-Terry & Campbell firm for many years. Active in Civic Life He was active in many civic and fraternal organizations and was a generous but unostentatious contributor to charitable enterprises. He served as a director of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce and was a past president of the Anaheim Rotary club. His lodge affiliations included the Hollywood Blue Lodge No. 355 of Masons, Anaheim Masonic chapter, Fullerton Commandry, A Malaikah Temple of the Mystic Shrine, Anaheim lodge of Old Fellows and Anaheim lodge No. 1345 of the B.P.O.

C., eyes are turned southward to Latin America these days as the old Monroe doctrine becomes the new policy of hemisphere defense. General Marshall, the army chief, and other important personages, hint broadly that there are definite possibilities of unpleasant happenings below the Rio Grande. Undoubtedly, if he wishes to use them, Hitler has at his hand ready means for troublemaking in South America. In area, Brazil is the largest nation in the southern half of this continent. Brazil has undreamed of mineral resources, virtually undeveloped, she is agriculturally rich, and, as a strategic base, she could dominate South America. Add to this the fact that she is very thinly populated, and has experienced a decade or more of political instability, and you have from every point to view a prize to inspire the dreams of any ambitious dictator. And when Hitler dreams, he schemes to bring his dreams to reality. Brazil's political weakness, which has led to two large scale civil wars and many rebellions in the past ten years, can be traced directly to the fact that the nation's political and financial center of gravity are apart both geographically and in interest. The capital of Brazil is Rio de Janeiro, but her financial capital is the city of Sao Paolo. It is the Sao Paolo that you will find the heart of the coffee industry, of the meat, the fruit, and of many other vital Brazilian industries. The bulk of Brazil's tax collections are made, as a result of this state of affairs, in Sao Paolo and the other highly productive southern regions of the nation. Yet, politically, the comparatively poor (Continued on page 2) Petty Thieves are Active on Saturday Petty thieves visited two homes here Saturday night and made away with a diamond ring valued at $130, a 17-jewel man's watch and an automobile carburetor, according to reports to Anaheim police. Owner of the ring was Mrs. Paul Neja, 112 South Melrose street. The ring had been left on a window sill on the back porch. The thief entered the porch through an unlocked screen door. Jerry Arnold, 315 East Albert street, was the owner of the watch and carburetor; both of which were stolen from his garage. The watch was hanging on a post and the carbureter was removed from the automobile, Arnold reported. Fine of $50 is Paid By Reckless Driver A fine of $50 was paid in Anaheim city court this week by Joe P. Martinez of Los Angeles after he had pleaded guilty to a charge of reckless driving. Fines of $10 each on speeding charges were paid by Ray Weathers, 239 W. Amerige street, Fullerton, and Lyle K. Annis of Long Beach. Life of Service Urged in Sermons Graduating students of Anaheim union high school, their relatives and friends were urged to give lives to the service of God and man by Rev. H. G. Dymmel, pastor of the Bethel Baptist church when he spoke at the annual baccalaureate services at the high school auditorium Sunday evening. Service of one or the other alone is not enough; both must be served, the minister said. Rev. Dymmel also pointed out to the graduates that each them is an original creation and each has a specific place in life. The lowest workman is as important in life as the highest, he said.
