Hilaire BellOc praises the efficiency
Of the Turkish military organization of
the sixteenth century, though of course
deplOring 1t, in his book How the Ref
Ormation Happened" He says that the
battle of MohacS Field. on the Danube
below Budapest, made the Hapsburgs
realize what they ought long to have
known. that Solyman had better mate
rial and q better military machine III
recruitment. morale and methods than
anything they could oppose to him.
The Turk OF that day was the superior
of Europe-yes even the Europe of the
RenaisSance-in man and guns and
missiles, siegewOrk and attack. He had
larger better and more numerous artil-
lery. He introduced the shell. He may
almost be said to have invented the
thought-out scheme of siege by trench
work. which dominated all our history
for more than 800 years" The effect of
this Moslem menace upon the Reforma-
ton, then Seething in Germany and to
q less degree in other countries, Mr..
Belloc says, was very great. 1t weak

no longer restrain the refOrmerS, about

Sub Disaster Is
Shown In Films

Fighting men of the air, land and
sea have formed the basis for many
of the plays produced in rccen t
months by the talkinf films, but the
undersea fighters, the men who man
the submarines, have been generally
neglected.
This condition is rcmeSicd in
Men Without Women the Fox Gold
Medal film directed by John Ford,
which opened Monday at the Fox
Imperial theatre.
'Men Without Women is a thrill
ing and intcnes narrative of the
crew of a submarine trapped beneath
the sea and of their reactions to
their terrible predicament. The mild
become brave, the strong eowardly,
the weak become strong and the hid-
den streak Of good or bad that is
in each man is brought out by their
impending doom.
How an outeast from his own coun-
trv proves to be the hero of the dis
aster forms the climax of a picture
that is sure to be an epic.

It was then brought to stop and the attempt given up.
 Bromley cabled his Tacoma back CTS for advice and said he doubted if he could get off on any Japanese fields. He said he might consid CT two legged hop, stopping at NOME to refuel
