RUTHLESS, BUT WISE
Society
ROSE-CLARK WEDDING
VOWS ARE EXCHANGED
Villages and towns in East Prus-
sia are being put to the torch by
the Germans, according to reports
from Russia. If the report is true,
it bespeaks a ruthless but entirely
sound policy on the Germans’ part.
In a community razed by fire, there
is no shelter for the invaders, no
loot for them to seize, no food for
them to eat, no civilian population
for them to send away into slavery.
There is nothing but empty ruina-
tion. Prom the German point of
view there is, furthermore, morbid
satisfaction in the fact that the
RuMian yearning for revenge has
been thwarted.
The Russians themselves had ap-
plied this scorched earth policy, as
it is called, when the Germans
were thnisting eastward earlier in
the war. It is an old story for Rus-
sia, which burned Moscow when
Napoleon was at its gates and which
added terror to his retreat by de-
stroying everything on which his
men and horses might subsist. The
Chinese likewise had made the
task of the invading Japanese much
more difflculff'by destroying as they
retreated.
In the strict military sense, the
Germans are acting wisely in beat-
ing the Russians to incendiarism in
East Prussia.—Wichita Palls Daily
Times.

nated by the soft glow from the
rays of the setting sun through
stained glass windows.
Traditional wedding music was
played on the organ. Attendants
were four Ensigns from the optical
school.
The bride was attractive In
dressmaker suit fashioned of rose
crepe, accented with black and
white accessories. She carried
white Bible topped with a single
orchid. For sontething "old” she
wore an engraved band bracelet be-
longing to her mother.
Following the wedding a recep-
tion was held for the wedding party
at the Navy Officers Quarters.
Mrs. Clark is a graduate of the
Shamrock High School and at-
tended West Texas State College,

F. Austin State Teachers College
