"All the pe-ople in Europe senzsed
that a war w as coming, but mocst of
theme refused to admiit it becas_
they didn't want it," Lt. AlwynA V.
Freeman, a memabcr of the 15th Off i-
cers Class of the Judge Advocate
General's School, said recently,
Lt. Freeman, a Michigan alumnus,
studied for three years in Geneva,
Switzerland just before war was de-
clared. He also spent some time in
central France, Switzerland, Bel-

attention to the possibility of a war."
"While I w a,, in Europe I got into

Geneva who could speak French to
become assistant to Joe Sharkey, its
Geneva representative. As I wa£

Almost a Classic

periences I can recall is seeing the
League representatives from so many
different countries meeting together
in one small corridor. When you see
all these famous men together, you
realize that after' all they're just
human," he continued,

Lt. Freeman likes best a story on
himself which just missed becoming

"It is very likely fthat Amrican2

Prof. Slosson believes that, although
Great Britain and Russia have up to
