YOUTH
OF 22
WIUST VALUABLE
SOLDIER OF ALL
Sickly Boy of Two Years Ago Now
World's Foremost righting 1 Avia
torHas Brought Down 45 Ger-
man Airplanes Is Excellent Shot
and Employs Original Strategy.
BY BASIL M. MANLY.
WASHINGTON, July - 24. The
most valuable soldier in the world
today is a youth of 22, who, when he
was enlisted,'' wus u sickly-looking
boy in the first 8tnc,eH of consuinp
tion.
Today, France would rather part
with two whole army divisions than
lose Georee Guynemer!
Iln is the uncrowned "kiiiR of the
nir," who has Brought down 45 Ger
man airplanes. ' '
Ah one aviator is worth 1000 or
diiiury troops, Guynemer has strate
gically wiped out 45,000 Germans. No
one soldier ever before approached
this pale Frenchman's militury value,
' dipt. Amaiiry lie La Grunge, head
of the French aviution commission,
now in the United States, told me
nl about Guyncmer, and explained
the tactics that have won him undis
puted supremacy ns a fighter in the
nir. Said de La Grange : .
Only 22 Years Old.
"George Giiynemer, now only 22
years old, began training in Febru
ary, 1915, on the eve of his exnmi
nation for the Polytechnic school.
"Ho was tall, slim, dolicate, s
ono feared ho might have lung ttou
Wo. He hud never gone in for sports,
and was almost the lust man to be
picked as, promising material, for a
pilot. - ' -. .
"He finished training in three and
a half ,mpntlis, not remarkable,, when
compared with Lieut. . Tetu's six
weeks. : Less than a month-after his
arrival at the front, armed only with
'an army rifle, he brought down his
ft'irst enemy.
"His plan of campaign against an
enemy machine simple. . -i
"Now rcmarkjbly skillful, Guyne
mcr nlwnj's fries to place himself in 8
following position, so he will not
be seen. With wonderful courase he
approaches as near ns possible with
out firing, keeping below and behind
his adversary. ' '
"When he comes almost up to him
(90 to 150 feet) he makes his plane
rear up like a spirited charger and
opens fire.
Is Excellent Shot.
"lie is an excellent shot and usual
ly disables his opponent in the first
round, but in case he does not he
tries to break the fight by some acro
batic manner (a half-loop, spins,
or several sharp turns).
"Guynemer is almost alone in the
use of these tactics, as most of the
other "Aces" (pilots who have
brought down five machines) prefer
to open fire at greater distances.
Guvnemcr's tactics were also em-

WAR BEGINNING OF END OF WORLD, SAY BIBLE STUDENTS
Or. Stelzle Writes Interesting Review
of This Subject Which War Has
Brought Under Discussion Most
Bible Students Believe Christ Must
Return to Earth First.
Wur has brought the widespread
belief among religious thinkers tluit
the eud of the world is at bund.
They see the world-wide oonflu
gration as the first stage in the final
catastrophe that they believe will
end nil things earthly.
Recognizing this widespread feel
ing as a matter of news, the Daily
Hnil Tribune asked its religions ed
itor, the Rev. Charles Stelzle:
"Is there biblical basis for the
widespread belief that the end of the
world is at hand?" . '. : , .
Dr. Stelzle says there. is not and
he gives his reasons- for' believing
there is hot. :
Head what he writes, and son
whether you agree "with him': ' '.
I am asked: "Is there biblical
basis for the widespread belief that
the end of the world is at hnndf" ,
I know that many people believe
there is.
Thev point to certain prophecies in
the bible that just before the end
there shall be "wars ond rumors of
wars," cyclones, fires, revolutions
and upheavals of every kind.
There is no doubt that the world is
facing one of the greatest catastro
phics in its history, and no one dares
prophecy-how extensive it will be.
The study of history does not help
us much interpreting the signs of the
times, for in this instance it cannot
be snid that "history repeats itself."
There never vet has been an "cud
of the world." '
There are " three ' sources '' from
which we may get light- upon this
most important subject; first, from
the bible ;, second, from the church,
and third, from our own. reason.
Naturally, the, .bible has a great
deal to sav about the "end -of the
world," and fortunately,, it is pos
sible. for. the. average man to .under
stand what the bible means.
The secrets of God are not always
revealed to the "wise men and the
prudent" God has sometimes "re
vealed them unto babes." ..
. Upon one occasion, Jesus publicly
thanked God for the fact.
It is probably true, as some noted
bible students have said, that con
fusion has risen in, the minds of
many because men have failed to dis
tinguish between "'the end of Uie
world" and "the end of the age."
The history of the world may be
divided into certain great periods, or
ages., Each of these ages has ended
in a great catastrophe like the
flood, for example.
It is well to remember that, most
of the prophecies about "the end of
the world are based upon the sec
ond coming of Jesus, and the proph
ecies concerning his second coining
arc just as literal as those that had
to do with his first coming.
There are something like 300 dif
ferent references in the new testa
ment nlone to tht seoond coming o
Christ. "
All biblo students agree that Jesus
is coming ugmn, out lucre is a gieu

difference of opinion among them as
to when he is coniin;
Some insist thut the world will he
come worse- and worse, , and tliu
Jesus will appear to usher' in th
thousand years of the millcinum
luring which peace and righteous
ness shall prevail
Otehrs believe that the church will
become responsible for setting up the
millenium, and at the close of this
thousand-year period Jesus will come
to cull (he world to judgment.
Fnr the largest number of bible
Indents have the latter opinion, al
though many evangelists and bible
students believe Jesus may come to
riltv
If the thousand-year period of the
millennium is to be taken literally,
then the opinion of the "post-mil-lenniulists"
those who believe that
Jesus will come after the millennium
compels us to say that Jesus cun
not come for at least one thousand
years. For no one would agree, in
view of the terrible war now prevail
ing, that we have entered the millen
nial period.
On the other hand, if the "pre
millenninlists" those who believe
Jesus will come before the millen
nium are to be believed, it looks
very much as if Jesus might come
at any moment to estublish His king
dom upon earth.
For they believe that just the kind
of things now happening will precede
His coming to earth. . '
But this would not be "the end of
the world" it would be "the end of
the nge," according to the "pro-mil.
lennialists."
In any case, whether the "pre-
millenniulists'' are right or the
"post-millennialists," the end of the
world, with the judgment Hint is fin
ally to eome, must be at least one
thousand years distant.
