Taking issue with Col Charles A Lindbergh's sug- 1 gallon lor American "coopei'ttUou" wlih Germany If she wins the war, Senator Pepper tD-Pla) has termed iIm* aviator "the chief of tho fifth column In this country." I'epper replied In the senate yesterday to Lindbergh's Sunday speech ut a Chicago peace rally, about the time Senator Wheeler (lv\tont) criticized Genera) John J. Pershing for propos- 1 Itig that at least 5o American destroyfin In* made available to Groat IirI- 1 tain Wheeler (old the senate that the 1 suggestion wts "a step toward war." Senator Lucas lIMll) followed Pepper's criticism of Lindbergh with a ' radio speech last night In which he he was "not only amazed but somewhat shocked by Col. Lindbergh's attltude of camplacency toward Adolph Hitler." Pepper told his colleagues that within a short time "the American people will have to decide whether they are going to follow the chief of the fifth column in tills country Col. Lindbergh?or are going to follow General Pershing." Recalled that a "cross of recognition and merit" had been bestowed on Lindbergh by Marshal Goering, Pepper said that Pershing never received a medal from the "head of the German air corps." Senator Lee (LM)klul said that If Lindbergh "had not earned the German modal when It was presented to him. he has by now earned It." Closing the discussion. Senator Holt |I)-VVVA> said that "If we turn back ? the pages of history to 1(J 17 we find that almost the same utterances were made against Col. Lindbergh's distill gulshed father, Congressman Lindbergh, who voted against entering war. I fear the s&mo result (entry into war) may come from the warmongering." f? Bears Are Troubled With Tooth Decay Berkeley, Calif./? Roars apparently uro the only Amerlcun wild animals which have tooth decay, and their notorious -weakness for sweets inuy he the reason, reports Dr. 10. Raymond Hall, University of California zoologist./Dr. lfall examined the teeth of 5,017 auiill*t.epeelinons, among them the skulls of 300 hears. Eight of the bears had decajQd teeth, None of the other animals had dental cavities. Even more significant, Dr. Hull said, was the fact that no decay was found Jn the teeth of polar bears captured in their natural habitat. There their diet nuitains few if any sweets. The findings coincided in many respects with those of several dental schools which huve concluded that sweets, particularly the reflnod type, are responsible largely for tooth decay' Dr. Hall said his study indicated that bears are not so particular about their diet and they fall to discard foods which produce decay in humans us well as in bruins. Tho examination also ruled out the possibility, ho ndded, that the decay was due to the shape of the bear's teeth, which have chewing surfaces similar to those of man. Ab In human tooth decay, some of the bears' dental cavities were In parts of the tooth other than tho chewing surfaces, Asia has a mean elevation of 3,000 feet, which Is 1,000 feet higher than that of North America.

I Gieat Britain Now Is An Armed Camp London, Aug. 5.~Tfln*land ?lan# \? moot Germany's now throat of titanic aerial blitzkrieg, with an elaborately prepared "offensive defense" in order to atuvo off tho invasion of her Island kingdom. Barriers which were recently set up and counted upon to alow the enemy on an attack of the islands, have been now removed as handicaps to her own troop's mobility. England is now apparently working on the theory that the "best defense is the best offense." Germany has been on the offensive against both France and Britain since the war opened. General Sir Alan Brooke, the new commander-in-chief of Britain's forces, ordered tho removal Of the steel and concrete traps and road blocks studding roadways thruout England. England now is apparently ready for Hitler's invasion. A trained and equipped army and home guard of several million men has converted Britain Into an armed camp, making her ready for a hard-hitting war on wheels. Barriers already are being removed in northern England where all double road blocks are being eliminated and single ones cut back. They were erected swiftly two months ago at every point where It was thought an Invader might try to seize strategic communications. Britain then envisioned a possible barricade-to-barricade defense by the comparatively few trained soldiers then available. The change was explained as a natural development with the return from the continent and reorganization of the British expeditionary force. Beaches and other coastal landing points still bristle with defenses. , Still further tightening the defense _a campaign which already had brought mass transfer of thousands o civilians from strategic areas?the ministry of home security ordered withdrawal of civilians from areas in East Anglia. east and northeast of London, and on the southeastern coast. kershaw ffa boys return from murrell's inlet-trip Kershaw.
