Mr. Roosevelt added: -
"No dictator in history has ever

Baptist Pastor
Announced Topic
Another ' timely topic ' to - he
discussed by Rer. Arno Q. Weni

tist church, 1 has been scheduled
for Sunday night. The sub jest
Is in the form . of a question
which he- will answer from a
scriptural point of Tiew, . "Will
There Be A World Church?" ;
The pastor will s p eak of the
significant trends in that direc
tion today which he believes will
ultimately culminate in a great
world system.
In dealing with the subject
from .a prophetic and practical
point of Tiew, Mr. Weniger will
also show why Baptists, standing
for religious democracy down
through the :. centuries,- cannot
join in the merge., Those inter
ested in preserving religious free
dom and the principles of de
mocracy will find this message
Interesting and helpful-
The subject to be discussed
Sunday morning is, "Vineyard
Workers. The Calvary church
enjoys a splendid ministry from
the choir and many special fe
tsres mark the services. ;

help in the big Job of registering
and choosing- from 11,500,000
young men.. The printing bill for
registration forms alone Is expect
ed to run to 21,500,000.
Officials have decided to use
much the same lottery system to
determine who actually must go
to the military camps that was
used In the World. war draft.
Second Number ; . -
Series to Govern . '
. Registration cards will be sent
to each draft, board. The board
will writs or stamp a serial num
ber in the upper'lef t hand corner :
of each card. Then, the cards will
be thoroughly 'shuffled. Thus the
first man to register on the morn
ing of October 12 may . get the
highest number and the last to
present himself In the evening
may get the lowest or any num
ber In between. .
But these are not the numbers
which determine the order In
which the men will be called for
service. That will be determined '
by a drawing in Washington.
Each draft board will wire to the
war department the highest num
ber It has Issued. '
From these reports the army
will determine the highest num
ber held . by any registrant In
the country.
If that number Is 10,227, for
instance, 10,22? numbered slips, .
each In a druggist's gelatin cap
sule, will be placed - In a big
gold fish bowl. After the cap
sules have been thoroughly stir
red, the president or some other
high official, will, blindfolded,
pick a. capsule from the bowl.
It will be opened, and the num
ber of the slip announced. If that
number Is 232, for Instance, it
will mean that the man In each
draft area who hs the serial
number 232 on his card will be
the first called. That gives him
a second number, for which a
space Is left in the upper right
corner ' of his registration card.
It Is called the "order number.
All Numbers Will
Bo Drawn, Explained -
The number of men to register
In eaeh draft board area will
vary. In some It may total less
than 100. and will run all the
way from that up to the 10,000
or so expected In the most popu
lous district. Taking the case
of a district with 78 registrants.
If the first number drawn from
the gold fish bowl Is higher than
72. it does not count where that
district is concerned.
The draw will continue until
each of the eapsules has "been
opened, and the first number, less
than 72 which Is drawn becomes
"order number one" so far as
that district Is, concerned. It the
first nunber of 'less than 72
drawn Is 25. for example, the
man In that district whose serial
number is 25, will be the first
in the district to be called.
After the order numbers have
been determined in that manner,
the local board will make its de
cisions on deferments and ex
emptions. If the man holding
order number one is placed in
a deferred classification, ths man
holding "order number two will
be the first called. If ths first
eight should bo deferred, ths one
who originally held "order num
ber nine" will automatically be
come the first to be called. Then
will come the physical examina
tions and as men are weeded out
tor bodily unfitness, the same
process will continue.

One-Man Air Force
Is Taking Revenge
Hollander Whose Family
Was Wiped out, Raids
Nazi-Held Cities
By DEVON FRANCIS
(Associated Press Aviation
Editor)
NEW YORK. Sept. 20-P-A
one-man air force in the person
of a Dutch flier whose family was
wiped out at the start of the nazl
offensive through the low coun
tries last May is carrying on
nightly "vengeance" raids against
German .military objectives in
the Netherlands.
The airman is Koene D. Par
mentler, former chief pilot for the
Royal Dutch airlines. His Raids
have been directed principally
against Rotterdam, where his
family was killed during the
crushing nasi bombing forays
which signalized the start of the
blitzkrieg, and The Hague and
Amsterdam.
After each raid, he drops a
signed note overboard to advise
the Dutch, inhabitants, for their
own protection, where he will
strike the following night.
I first ran on , to the story of
Parmentler in Bermuda two
weeks ago. Today I confirmed it
in American aviation circles.
Buddies Wiped out
It is reported, but unconfirmed,
that the nazis have placed a price
equivalent to 21 0,0 00) on his head.
When the Germans' invaded the
Netherlands, they leveled certain
sections of Rotterdam with
bombs. Of the 20 pilots la the
Royal Dutch airlines. 40 were put
into uniform for air defense. AU
were killed.
Of the remaining 20, Parmen
tler escaped, first to France and
then to Lisbon, Portugal. There
he minglsd with the flying frater
nity of the port. He said he was
going to repay the Germans many
fold. He got to England and offered
his services with qualifications;
He was to have the use of Dutch
planes. He was to make his raids
alone. He asked nothing but sup
plies of bombs and fuel. The royal
air force agreed.
For weeks, regardless of wea
ther, he has carried on his venge
ance flights. He leaves by the
clock and returns by the -dock,
stalking off without a word after
he lands.
