I monthe hy In nil 126 Dally, by cairier per month... .nfi Daily, by carrier per yw T.BO Net Much Differ Than 1918 AN article dealing with the purported morale, of the present army In training, appear ing recently In a pictorial maga zinc of nation-wide circulation, has aroused widespread debate. The article creates the Impres sion that the army trainees are Intensely dissatisfied, that they are plotting mass desertion, Cut they have no respect for their superior officers, that they foej the training program has no pur pose and that nothing woith while is being accomplished. There probabiy will be a cer tain number of resignations of dissatisfied trainees, following tho expiration of their year in the armed forces, but if the de campment reaches such whole sale proportions as predicted in the magazine articles, It very probably will be largely due to Just that typo of sensational re . porting plus the activities of the isolationist and obstructionist deliberately stirring up discoh tent. ' True, the 1041 soldier is growl lug about the food, the camp routine, the shelter, the equip ment, the discipline, I lie officers and everything else connected with the army. As long as the United States remfiins a demo cracy and its jicople have the right to free speech, Its citizen army is going to complain. Hit lers army doesn't have that priv ilege. If the l!)4l army belly aches any more than did the army of 191718, It is only be cause some hours have been add ed to the 24 per day and so far, even with the New Deal disre gard of tradition and the shift In of holidays, the length of days and nights has not been changed. Any veleran of World War No. 1, reading the magazine article, recognizes immediately the .vuKia mm music ui ine um army song aim nance. Mr. and Mrs. .1.

In the face of the re-1 userriiuiis mat me unitcu States is not lo be drawn into actual warfare, the question al first glance might seem to have merit. However, when a man builds a house one of his first acts is lo buy Insurance. He doesn't ac tually expect his house to burn down, but nevertheless he pro lecls Ills investment. He pays taxes to support a iwllcc force. He doesn't expect his house to th robbed or his properly despoiled, but he takes protection ugainst burglars and vandals. The blitzkrieg has brought many changes in warfare. Now adays there Is no declaration of war In many cases until after the attack Is already under way. Pre viously tuitions had time to pre pare. In the last few months several supposedly strong na-! lions were, quickly subdued be-! cause they had not made ade-i quale advance defense prrpara-! friend Mrs. George Pooler, who is lion. The United Stales may not J Vs'ling at their home from Penn engage . In a . shooting, waiv .but !;yvi'i and her daughter Mary there is no telling when the wind will shift and carry the fire in the next block in a new direc tion. For that reason the Unit ed Stales must prepare. When the house next door catches fire, I poorly trained fire depart- is better than none. even a ment It Is undoubtedly true that (he defense training program is nut as efficient as it should be. Furthermore It is true that there Is a wqcful lack of equipment. Veteran of the lest war have been calling the natlon'i atten tion that fact for the past 20 years, but the plea for national defense has gone unheeded. Now, at the last moment, the action that should have been begun two decades ago has been undertaken. It must be hurried and the old slogan, "haste makes waste," still holds true. Doubtless the men who have been called up as trainees have not had the type u training that would have re suited had the nation been pre pared for the emergency years ago, Undoubtedly the officers arc not as well trained and as capable of leadership as they should be. But it also is true that progress is being mudc and that the future promises far greater efficiency. Those who remember the hol low chested, stoop shouldered youths who left a few months ago, only to return straight, bronzed, hardened and clear-eyed, cannot help but admit that army training, from the standpoint of physical well being, at least, has been most worthwhile, and we cannot help but be of the opin ion that a healthy body is con ducive to a healthy mind and spirit and that our army is not the pallid, weak, cry-baby that the national magazine's reporter would have us believe.

EDWARDS Where I he spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. This famil iar saying of St. Paul in his second letter to the Corin tliians. has a particularly wide spread appeal at the present time. One hears of prisoners of war, of internalional camps of people unable lo obtain neces sary permits to get from one country to anolher, and of ."it hers shackled with various types of limilal ion. True lib erty is not accomplished through cherishing resent ment, self-pity, fear, or haired, or hy the pitting ol one human will against anolher. it is ac complished through a definite understanding of the reality of spiritual life, for where the spirit of the Lord is. there Is liberty. There Is nothing which can Interfere with our oneness with God, and to know- Him without any discrimination, racial prejudice, deprivation, danger. Love riiscls all haired and fear. Those tempted lo be anxious may he satisfied (hrough an understanding of 7hV 11'ImTT.s t iiai ' Trt7tMT"o"n'i'- fiT-i';T ind a proper realization of the benefils to ourselves ami (till ers. Right thinking Is divlue power which transforms lives, where human efforts fall. It Is when we turn to God in faith and understanding of His spirit that we are able lo ap propriate "the richness of the fulness in glory by Christ Jesus our Lord." This is true liberty.

Cleveland Tries Rookie on Mound, Loses as Usual By JUDSON RAILEY (Associated Press Sports Writer) The most mystifying develop, ment of the big league baseball season Is what has happened to i ine Cleveland Indians. They lost a 4-2 affair to Wash ington last night to let the Sena- i tors climb out of a tie for the cel lar. Manager Peckinpaugh start ed a rookie named Steve Gromek, who was acquired lust week from the class D Michigan Stale league. He walked a couple and gave up Hirer singles and a double for Ihree Washington runs in the (bird inning and after that the game was no contest. The Dodgers beat the Pitts burgh Pirates, 6-5, on Reiser's homer In (he ninth, but the often I praised infield made six errors and gave the Pirates four un earned runs, which nearly cost the ball game. The Cincinnati Reds came tin with a double-decker triumph ov er (he Phillies, winning (he open er, 13-5, with a 1-1-hit offensive that was concentrated for 10 runs in (he first two innings. Then they came from behind with a four-run seven-inning rallv to National L. 40 41 40 SO 5.1 67 66 81 L. 30 55 54 55 63 . 63 65 65 Pel. .646 .637 .550 Brooklyn 7.'l SI.
