ton of nations ION the basis of mu-
tually helpful agreement are neces-
sary "if enduring peace and prosper
ity is to come to any of the nations
of Europe" Rev. e. f. Backman, of
Philadelphia, declared at tonight's
session of the biennial convention of
the United Lutheran church.
DIR. Backman is just back from a
trip to the central European coun-
tries. and said his statement was
based on what / have seen and
heard in Europe" He said he found
dire distress" in Germany due to
unemployment because factories were
closed for lack of coal and raw ma
terials.
MANY persons in various walks of
life declared themselves perfectly
willing to help rebuild the devastated
regions of Belgium and France" he
asserted, "but emphasized that the
treaty must make it within the range
of physical possibility"
The conviction was everywhere in
Germany, DIR. Backman said, that
America had been ''the deciding fac
tor in Germans defeat, but there
was at the same time a remarkable
absence of bitterness" because Amer
lea had so GENEROUSLY dealt with her
vanquished foe. especially in relief
work.

Because the bureau of navigation of the navy department wants Arizona to have her full quota of midshipmen in the next class at the Naval Academy at Annapolis as well as in succeeding classes, the department has written c. O. Case, state superintendent of pub lie instruction, believing him. to be in a position to single out bright, capable boys.
 In part, this is the information re- ceived by Superintendent Case. Satur- day:
 After being appointed a midshipman an initial deposit of s35O to cover orig inal outfit of books and clothing re- quired. From the time of appointment a midshipman is paid s7S0 per year, commencing from the date of his ad- mission, and this sum is sufficient to meet all his expenses while at the naval academy. Upon graduation he is com missioned an ensign in the navy and receives pay at the rate of $1700 per year, plus an allowance for heat, light and quarters when on shore duty. The grade of ensign corresponds to that of second lieutenant in the army.
