mo Matter Where the
Best Aspirations of the
World Lead Us"
SAID PRESIDENT
AT WAR COLLEGE
Harding Delivered Ad-
dress at Opening of
Fall Term

Washington, d. c., Sept. l.--Presi-
dent Harding, speaking to-day at the
opening of the fall term of the Army
War college declared that mo matter
where the best aspirations of the world
lead us there never may be time with
out the necessity for armed forces"
The president, in his brief address,
pledged the two hundred officers in his
audience that during his administration
they would never be called to perform
military service they could not enter
into with all their heart and soul as
Americans"
Referring to the situation in the
West Virginia coal fields the president
declared:
"We ought not to have conflict like
that which is going on in West Virgin
ia. 1t is due to lack of understand
ing"
Mr.. Harding said there were "two
relative essentials to the civilization
to which we all aspire; one is an un-
derstanding among men at home and
the other an understanding between
nations"
He expressed belief that the time was
coming when the burdens of arma-
ment" could be diminished.
81 wish with all my heart he added,
that there will be less of armies and
navies."
Declaring that through four thousand
years of pagan history and two thous-
and years OF Christian civilization the
world only lately has come to a civil
lied state of armed warfare, the presi-
dent reiterated that he thought it per
fectlv futile to think there never may
be armed conflicts"
"We of America without unneces-
sary boasting," he continued, have
come nearer TO civilized warfare than
any nation. y
The president declared "the trouble
with the world to- day is that there are
too many theorists who know nothing
of actualities." Whoever he added,
brings practical experience into play
with theory will make real contribu-
tion to progress.

Sunday

After vacancy of nearly six months,
the rectorship of the Church OF the
Good Shepherd in Barre and st. John
the Baptist church in Websterville has
been filled by the action of the two
church vestries in extending call to
Rev. A. Cyril Drumm, until recently
curate of st. Paurs church iD Burling-
ton. With the approval OF Rt. Rev.
G. Y. Bliss, bishop coadjutor of the
Vermont Episcopal diocese, Rev. Mr.
Drumm has accepted the call to the
local field.
He is to begin his duties Immediately
and his first services as rector viii be
conducted in the Barre and Webster
vile parishes Sunday, Sept 4.
The new rector is a young man, un-
der 30, and unmarried. He is a grad
uate of the University of Toronto and
the General Theological seminary in
New York City. Soon after his grad
uation from the seminary in 1917 he
became curate of the Burlington church,
where he is highly esteemed. Rev. Mr..
Drumm enters upon the rectorate of
the Barre churches with good deal
of enthusiasm and much is expected of
his ministry.
With the end of the vacation season
in sight, activities in both churches
will be under way at once. 1t is hoped
that all Episcopalians and other friends
of the church will be present Sunday
to welcome the new rector.

WILL MAKE NIGHT
ATTACK ON BATTLE
SHIP ALABAMA
New Weapons Will be Put Into Opera
tion-Giant Aerial Flares to
Be Used.

Washington, D. C., Sept. l,tBy Asso-
ciated Press New weapons of aerial
warfare will be given an initial test
when the army air service conducts its
next bombing operation-a night at
tack on the old battleship Alabama.
The present plan is to stage the at.
tack about September 10, probably at
the scene of the recent tests on former
German craft off the Virginia Capes.
A light barrage" composed of giant
aerial flares. each of more than 100000
candlepewer, will be one feature of the
attack. Army engineers have submit
ted such enthusiastic reports on this
weapon that larger flares, estimated to
be equal to 100000 candles, have been
placed under construction. Giving a
greenish- white light. literally bright.
er than day the flares TO be used in
the Alabama test will illuminate an
area of five square miles and expert
flyers say, should enable the aviators
to obtain greater accuracy than in day
time The flares are attached to par
achute of white silk which reflects the
light downward with sufficient inten.
sity it is believed TO blind the officers
and gunners on the ship under attack
so as To demoralize any plan for de.
tense, while keeping the upper air
reaches shrouded in gloom.
1t will not be the object of the army
pilots to see how quickly they can sink
the Ala bama, officials said to-day, but
rather to try out special gas and non
extinguishable PHOSPHORUS bombs on
her. as well as to ascertain the effect
of small demolition bombs. Bombs up
to 1000 pounds each may he used.
