This is only following ■ the trend of most European coun tries. Austria has lately put all ( boys between 11 and 18 into uni form for purposes of sport, mili- ' tary training and political educa tion. In Italy every boy of 12 has to join the "balilla,” #ear a uniform and be subjected to military disci 4ine, and lately Mussolini has 9jnuig?te4 an ortfcd tbit &vs. of six shall be put Into training and , uniform against the time when! ’ they are old enough to undergo the : more rigorous discipline, .of thebal illa. / . ‘ In Germany the "Youth Move- ) ment has ..become almost a brown- < shirted militia. In Russia the age > of military conscription has become lowered to 16 years. Every boy from 18 onward must do com pulsory military service in France and in Germany. fodder for the next war. For back of all of this military preparedness lie the scarcely concealed designs of the rulers of the dictator-rid den nations to take the first op portunity to seize the territory of their neighbors. France alone is arming for defense of the father land. -- Under such conditions, how is it possible for war to be avoided? Bruce Barton Says— EXPERIENCE TEACHES ,*w DOLLAR WORTH One day the vice-presidetn of a trust company was showing me around and explaining how care fully the company handles the funds entrusted to lit Being asked hy Iiim for a comment, I modestly put forth the following: | “There would seem to be one defect in your set-up. You take young men from the rich dormitor ies of Princeton and JJarvand and Yale, and you transport, theth Straight into the paneled offices Of Wall Street without ever a chanCS to find out what life is all about. A dollar or a hundred dollars or a hundred thousand dollars are just so many marks on a piece of white paper to them. "No bey ought to be allowed to come into your trust company until he has first worked a year on a farm or as a section-hand on a rail road, or behind the counter of a country store. A dollar never again would be simply a mark on a piece of paper to him. It would mean struggle and sacrifice and sweat.” The vice-president didn’t pay any attention to the suggestion, of THIS WEEK IN Washington (Continued from page One) Europe serves to strengthen the be lief that another great war is in evitable, and recent events in Spain, with their repercussions in Italy. Germany, France and Great Brit ain, are looked upon here as tend ing to hasten the impending coft, flict. In some well-informed quarters there is talk about war within six months. More cautious and experienced students df international affair* think, however, that war may be delayed for two years, or until Germany thinks it is in a strong enough position to start trouble and get away with it. Washington’s concern is, of course, chiefly with the questiop of whether the United States cap keep out of another general Euro pean war and how. Few can be found who are willing to say con fidently that we would be able tr stay out, in spite of all of the neu trality resolution and present-day determinations not to be dragged in. ELECTION OUTLOOK Naturally, Washington is more interested in the presidential cam paign than in any other one sub ject. Most of the election talk heard here is iolently partisan on ane side or the other and is uttered for its possible effect upon voters. Impartial analysts now are advising :hat it is impossible at this time to nake an intelligent forecast of ^he jutcome, which almost all agree s likely to be very close in the natter of electoral votes. It seems probable that nothing ike a definite forecast passed upon jositive indications can be made nuch before the third week of | October. rourse, but I still think it was good. \ great danger to this country romes from the lack of understand ng between different sections and, rlasses.

Golden Text: Matt. 28:19. After a. short visit in Antioch Paul set out on his second mission ary tour, taking Silas with him. Passing through Syria and Cilicia they came to Lystra where Paul found Timothy, an attractive youth whom he persuaded to ac company him. ■I Upon reaching the harbor of Troas in the northwestern corner of Asia Minor, not far from the scene of the. Trojan war, Paul had a dream in whch he saw a man from the province of Macedonia, across the Aegean Sea, begging for help. It has been surmised that this Macedonian was none o'" her than St. Luke, the beloved physi cian, whp apparently joined Paul’s party at Troas. However this may be, Paul at once answered the call, crossed the sea„..and landed at the important city of Philippi, situated about ten miles inland. Its inha bitants enjoyed Roman citizenship, spoke Latin, and lived under Ro man law. Apparently Philippi had no synagogue. So Paul went down to the river bank and preached to the women who liked to gather there to bathe and to pray. His first convert was a prosperous wo man, Lydia by name, who hospit ably entertained Paul and his com panions in her home. It is significant that a woman should be the first person in Eur ope to be won to Christ, Christ ianity, we must remember, brought to women a more honorable stand ing, and gave them greater free dom. It would be hard to overestimate the services rendered by the Chris tian faith to the gentler sex. In the time of, Jesus it was the custom to expose female babies to die at the hands of the pitiless elements. What a far cry it is from this bar barous habit to the deference, sympathy and consideration mani fested everywhere toward women today. It is not too much to say that Christ has emancipated wo man from the brutal horaldom of i p*st- .fxSj/gzmm* ■ ■ .... ■ .. .
