Zacchini Is a veteran of the
World War, having served as
lieutenant in th artillery branch
of the Italian army. It was while
in the service that he -conceived
the Idea of shooting a man from
a cannon and upon his discharge
at the end of hostilities he and his
brother, Bruno, set to work to per
fect Hugo's idea. Hugo Zacchini
was three times wounded In action
and was cited several times for
bravery under fire.
Zacchini toured Europe with his
cannon an soon became a tremen
dous sensation. He has proved to
be fully as great an attraction In
this country as he was abroad.
Salvation Army Plans
Campaign For Fund For
Social Service? Works
The charitable and humanitarian work of the Salvation
Army was started with a very definite purpose but without a
specific program. It has developed in many different di
rections in response to human needs as they have been dis
covered, and has not been restricted or limited by any pre-
-tnis
conceived or arbitrary plan.
explains it extra-ordinary variety
and scope.
The yearly campaign to raise
maintenance funds to carry on this
work in Marlon county is scheduled
for August 20 to 31. This campaign
Is being put on under Uie personal
direction of the Army's advisory
board composed of the following:
Governor I. L. Patterson, honor
ary chairman; Dr. B. P. Pound,
chairman; Mrs. F. A. Elliott, vice
chairman; Herbert H. Hauser, sec
retary; E. B. Millard, treasurer;
Lyle Bartholomew, Frank D. Bllgh,
Judge O. P. Coshow, Harold Eakln,
W. B. Oerth, A. C. Haag. Mrs. Paul
H. Hauser, Douglas McKay, Cooke
Patton, William Pettyjohn, J. M.
Rupert, Mrs. Charles K. Spaulding,
Roy Wassam.
Social service had no part In the
plan as at first conceived by the
Founder. The original purpose was
exclusively evangelical. The Sal
vationists were to take the gospel
to those who would not seek It in
the churches. They were to Invade
the highways and byways and
preach salvation, through Christian
grace, to the spiritually blind and
the poor In heart. Thtt was to be
their one and only mission,
nut It was not easy .to talk SDir-
Itual salvation to people who were
dazed and bewildered by acute
Dhvsical need. That such people re
sponded to Uie preaching with man
ifest eagerness made tne tasa an
the more, perplexing. Their ears
were attuned to tfce "voice crying
in the wilderness": but what were
they to do about It? The man
without Job, enervated through
privation or dissipation; the girl
facing motherhood out of wedlock,
dismayed and alone; aged men and
women without homes in which to
spend their declining years; the
youth, realising the futility of In
dulgence, but puszled as to which
way to turn; the criminal, brood
ing In his cell; the widow, with her
children, valiently waging a losing
battle against poverty and disease;
the wayward, the degenerate, tne
Irresponsible, the weak of will all
of these saw the light of hope in
th message that was brought to
them, but it seemed far off, in
tangible, beyond their reach. It
was clear that In addition to .the
gospel they needed material as
sistance and patient guiding irom
people who could understand their
troubles.
It was in response to such need
that the Army entered the realm
of social service. Today every
corps, or religious unit is at the
same tun a center of charitable
activity; and th evangelical work
Is supplemented by two great
branches of the organisation known
as the men's social services depart
ment and th social service depart
ment for women and children.
The functions of these depart
ment have grown to such propor
tions as to convey the erroneous
impression to many minds that the
Army la essentially and primarily
a social service agency. But, as al
ready emphasised, these functions
must be understood In their entire
ty as a humane demonstration of
th religion of Christ. Religious
exhortation, however, is not forced
upon th beneflc'aries, and no per
son is expected to change his re
ligion. If he already has one. His
religion la expected to change him.

Society of the Godless. - -
Spokesman for the Communist
Party and the government served
notic that the atheists must limit
themselves to methods o moral
and intellectual suasion in their
fight against the church and the
sects.
While wholly in sympathy with
the antl-rellglous movement, the
government indicated that it will
use "administrative measures" (a
euphemism for official force) only
in cases where churchmen are dl
recely engaged In counter-revolutionary
work. Recent legislation
placed an extremely narrow limit
upon the legal- rights of religious
bodies. In effect they are permitted

tly It is the intention of the powers-
that-be not to disturb the believers.
That some of the Godless are
deeply disgruntled because the gov-
ernment, in their view, is too tender
with the religious elements -could
be surmised from the context of a
long speech by the President of the
Soviet Union, Michael Kalinin, it
was principally an explanation
why the government cannot pro
ceed roughshod agaalnst religion
and a warning that violence will
make martyrs to religion rather
than convert to atheism.
"Why are we not closing down
all the churches?" Kalinin asked
"Because we have an enormous
mass of believers. More than that,
the enormous mass consists of
working people people who fought
and still fight for the Soviet power.'
Force, be argued would thus have
to be used, if at all, against the
very people - whose -support .the
Soviets must retain at any price.
He urged the utmost fact in con
ducting atheist propaganda not to
offend real believers and thus play
into the hands of the Soviet enemies.
Kalinin asked the Godless to dis
tinguish carefully between those
who merely use the church for
economic or political purposes and
the mass of church-goers who are
actually religious. Also, Kalinin
poionted out that the church is an
important social function In the
ordinary peasants life.
