German Resistance
Near End, Legge Says
Correspondence o, n. Associated PressI

Correspondence of The Assocised Pressl
Melbourne, Australia, May 5.-Maior
General James Gordon Legge, chief Of
the Australian General Staff. who left
Australia in May. 1915, TO command
the first Australian division at the
Dardanelles and subsequently served
with distinction on the Gallipoli PENN
sula and in Northern France. said on
his recent return here from the West
ern front:
81 am convinced that the German
resistance will be broken in June, and
| hardly think that the war will last
another year. The duration Of the
German resistance after the main line
is broken can only be guessed at. Once
Germany is beaten on the Western
front, Turkey and Austria will soon
cry enough and collapse like a house
of cards"
General Legge said that the weather
and the mud had all along been a
greater obstacle than the Germans in
the Western front and had prolonged
trench fighting.
Speaking OF German warfare, he said
that while on the Western front. "op
undoubted evidence" he was shown
barn doors which bore marks indicat-
ing that men had been crucifed upon
the doors with bayonets; that he saw
evidences at certain places that chill
dren's brains were wantonly dashed
out. PERSONALLY" he added. 81 feel
as if | could never again have social
intercourse with German"
General Legge was the organizer OF
the Australian universal military
training system. He went on active
service in this war when General
Bridges was killed at Anzac Cove. He
had served in the South African war.

Texas Boy Sailors
Reviewed at City Hall
Junior Reserves and Appren-
tice Seamen Leave Later
for Camp Dewey

Tanned nut brown from training in
the hot sun Of Texas and with the
appearance Of near-yeterans, 165 Junior
Naval Reserves and 25 apprentice sea-
men from Corpus Christi were re-
viewed at the City Hall yesterday by
President Frank l.. Bowling Of the
Board Of Aldermen; willard d.
Straight, Of the Mayors Committee on
National Defence, and Theodore Rous-
seau, the Mayors secretary. Although
the ages Of the reserves ranged from
sixteen 70 twcnty-one, many Of them
looked older because of their seasoning
at Camp John Paul Jones, in the South.
All of these young cadets were from
the State OF Texas and many Of them
came from ranches. They left by boat
yesterday for the naval training station
at Camp Dewey, near New London.
The apprcnticcd seamen will enter the
service soon after arrival at the train
ing camp. Every yOungster in the de-
tachment is hopeful of getting into the
regular service before the end of the
summer.
The boy sailors started North from
their Texan training school last Friday
and stopped over in Washington or
Monday. where they were reviewed by
Secretary Daniels and Secretary Baker.
They arrived here in time to take part
in the Memorial Day parade.
Officers from the national headquar-
ters of the United States Junior Naval
Reserves, at 23l West Fifty-eighth
Street, have looked after the cadets
entertainment while in this city. About
500 of the Junior Naval Reserves from
this city will 70 to Camp Dewey in a
few days for the summer training. An
other hundred will come from Philadel-

are exhibited the most approved and
successful Sunday School methods.
Model classes are maintained under the
care Of specialists which serve as
guides for the different schools. Stand
ing committees maintain throughout
the year work for the kindergarten,
secondary classes and adult divisions
as well as teachers training classes,
home department, temperance, mission
ary and evangelistic enterprises.
Church Work Helps Aliens.
Thousands of aliens are being trans
formed each year into citizens and
churchmen by this great Americanizing
institution. Work in their mother
tongue and later in English is being
carried on among the Swedish, Italian,
German. Chinese. Armenian. Finnish,
Syrian. Persian and Japanese speak
ing people. This was the first and
most successful move the Christian
Church has made in how to nationalize
foreign speaking people. II is being
done successfully and permanently IN
the Sunday schools.
There is an increasing Discrimination
on the part of children OF foreign born
parents to speak the language Of their
forefathers. This very simple fact
compels the older people to follow their
children and also speak English if the
home is to hold together and the parent
is 10 control the child. It would seem
the part OF wisdom for the churches TO
continue 20 bring the children Of all
races into their Sunday schools. just
as they are brought into the public
schools, and build up true national
religious life.

annual prescription for grand and
glorious day.
Taft Urges Religious Teaching.
There is nothing so much needed in
this country" said william II. Taft
recently to the Brooklyn Sunday School
Union. "as the promotion of moral ana
religioss teaching in connection with
the secular education Sof our chill
drcn, and the two greac instrumentall-
ties for bringing this about are home
influence and Sunday schools.
unfortunately, home influence IN
the cases where religious and moral
teaching are most necessary is too
often lacking. Therefore, the spread OF
Sunday school education and the classi-
fying il and making it more thorough
are Of the utmost Importance to the
public veal. You have my best wishes
for the success of your movement.
"The Sunday School is the greatest
blessing and the chief asset OF com
murity life" said Billy Sunday.
"The vast importance of early rellg-
ious instruction and training TO the
formation of character and the develop
ment of Christian civilization cannot
be over emphasized.
"And there is no institution better
equipped and qualified TO teach the re-
lationships and obligations involved IN
citizenship than the Sunday school.
"There is no institution as near the
people; it is a well organized force
and works twelve months in the year.
Representing sixteen millions Of people,
two and a half millions of its mem
bers being men, and having in its ranks
most earnest workers, it is strong
force for righteousness in any com
munity.
"The Sunday school is rendering
magnificent service to-day in its con-
certed efforts for better local govern
ment; the Sunday school is the
Church's best channel for social service
and the nations best good citizenship
builder"
Rapid Growth of Sunday School.
The first Sunday school was started
in Brooklyn in 1916 by the Sands
Street Methodist Church, in what was
then Thomas Kinks printing shop on
the west side of Adams street, between
Sands and High streets, by Robert
Snow. propularly known as fdIher
Snow" On April 8 of the same year
in the then village of Brooklyn. with a
population of scarce five thousand
people, was organized the Brooklyn
Sunday School Union Society, consist
ing of persons of different religious
denominations.
In one hundred years the work has
grown from less than thirty schools
with four hundred scholars to 4@b
schools with a membership OF 125,oO0.
The twenty-frst anniversary parade Is
frequently referred TO because il was
held in what was then known as
"Buck's Lot" being the vacant block
bounded by Joralemon, Clinton and
Livingston Streets and Sidney Place,
within a stones throw Of Borough Hall,
used by Il. 7. Buck as a pasture for his
COW.
The Union carries on a wide and
varied Sunday school work. Once a
year it meets at conference in which
