French Wine Growers
Anxious About Repeal,
BY WILLIAM BIRD,

PARIS, August 26-With prohibition
repeal rushing forward like Spring
tide. French wine interests are show
ing increasing nervousness
There has as yet been no authorized
pronouncement as to what attitude the
American Government and Congress
will take toward the importation of wines
and brandies On the other hand, there
have been many suggestions that Con-
gress may endeavor to use the wine and
brandy question as means of bringing
pressure for the payment Of war debts.
Jouett Shouse, head Of the American
anti prohibition forces, was In Paris q
few days ago and stated badly that un-
less France quickly regularized her sit
uation as regards the debts there was
not q ghost Of chance tnat French
wines and liquors would b. admitted to
America.
Consequently wine growers and deal
ers are getting after their representa-
tives in the Chamber of Deputies, urg-
ing that something be done about it.
They don't care to hear any more about
the rights and wrongs of the war debts.
What they want Is the assurance that
they can sell their wines

and woman, sooner or later, the great
question comes: Whom say ye that
I am?" 1t repeats itself again and
again in the great crises of life; 1t
persists in times when problems arrest
our course and deep shadows hang
heavy over our hearthstones In such
periods we are bound to seek for
solution to our problems and an under
standing Of our misfortunes. In such
hours we may turn to our favorite
philosophers and teachers, but to little
avail. Fine as are the works Of Marcus
Aurelius, they do not sustain or lend
us assurance when the shadows gather
Turn where we may we will not find
teachers that which has the authority
and finality of the Greatest Teacher
Quite apart from the Incompatible
character of His teachings, there is q
quality in His utterances that renders
them utterly unique. 1t is little wonder
that enc cries out in his confusion,
Lord, to who shall We go? Thou
alone hast the words Of eternal life"
The Roman soldier who saw Him die
on the cross expressed the conviction
of the ages when he said: Truly, this
was the Sen of God"
When Lew Wallace was challenged
by his friend, Col Ingersoll. concern
ing his religious convictions he tells
us that It drove him to an exhaustive
study Of the life and words Of Jesus.
He sought again to discover In them
those elements Of strength and beauty
that he held to be indispensable to
his own peace Of mind, and to his con-
ception Of the meaning Of life. At
the end Of his long study he declares
that he caught the inspiration to write
his famous book, Ben Hur"
Sometimes in these later days men
seem to think that this Master OF men
has lost something of His hold upon
the Imagination. 1t is our strong con-
viction that at no time in our genera
ton has there been deeper thought
concerning Him or greater reverence
disclosed for His kingly person. No
matter how faith in Him may be ex-
pressed, He stands before the world as
its unchallenged and interchangeable
leader. The great question, especially
IN hours OF anxiety, comes crowding
home upon US, Whom say ye that I
am?" and our answer conditions those
things that most vitality concern US.

The Army's New Mobilization Record
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

During the World War the United
States Army hung up a record for
mobilizing q large number Of men on
short notice. That record has been
cited with a good deal of pride by the
General Staff and other officers and
civilians familiar with military affairs.
Excellent as 1t was, 1t has been COM
pletely smashed by new record, just
achieved this Summer. The new record
has been made in connection with the
mobilization of the men in the Civilian
Conservation Corps camps.
The statements pointing the striking
contrast between the two emergencies
have been compiled by Col. Duncan K.
Major jr., Of the General staff, United
States Army, an officer who had much
to do with the record mobilization.
1t was on April 6, 1917, that Congress
that date and July ! the Army had
modified a total Of 181 900 men. OF
these, 117,000 were in the regular Army
and many of these already were par
TALLY mobilized as a start. That Is,
they were on duty at garrisons and
Army posts in various parts of the
country Another $4,000 were included
in The National Guard, which also had
a strong nucleus to start with. BY
July / only 5000 were brought into
the National Army At the time this
was regarded as a highly creditable
performance. An army Of 181 900 men
was q host.
On April 3, 1933-a difference of only
three days from the war declaration
date-the White House notified the
War Department that it desired to
mobilize q large army OF men in forest
conservation camps. The President had
assured the country that 250,000 men
would be put to work by July l.
On May L. the General Staff had its
plans completed and received the Presi-
dents approval of them. The mobiliza-
ton began. BY July l it had 274,375
men in the forest conservation camps,
modified according to plan.
There are camps in every State OF
the Union. with the exception Of Del
aware, and part Of the huge mobili-
zation task included the transport OF
SIS, 900 men distance Of 1900 miles.
These were the men taken from the
crowded industrial sections OF the East
to the camps in the Rocky Mountains.
In the World War days the trainloads
of lads moving across the countryside
attracted more attention because, IN
the first place, they were in uniform
and therefore conspicuous and, In the
second place, the emergencies Of war
are more spectacular than those OF
peace Actually, however, the Army was

Army Put in Charge.
The Department OF Labor and the
United States Forest Service had parts
to play in getting the work started, but
the task Of actual mobilization and
distribution to the several camps fell
upon the Army. The fact that one army
was a civilian aggregation and the
other a military made no difference in
the difficulty Of the task. If anything,
there was greater difficulty in the han
ding Of the civilian outfits because,

full to struggling, restless. -tensed
humanity.
OF these are the books Of peace like
Thoreau's Walden" 1t is their func-
ton to teach serenity, placidity and
contentment. They are quiet books,
non controversial. They have the calm
ing effect of night under the silent
stars, Of twilight in the unpathed for
est, or of early dawn upon the undis-
turbed bosom of an inland sea. To
their class belong such treasures of
philosophy as Marcus Aurelius' "Medi-
tations" and Montaigne's Essays"
They may be opened at random and
read casually with delight.
And close to the volumes whose
burden is balm and surcease should
stand those books Of fiction whose
purpose is the elevation of human
desire, of human ambition. Among the
number would be Victor Hugo's LES
Miserables" and Charles Dickens Tale
of Two Cities" The sordidness of
ordinary aims and the selhshness of
ordinary aspirations shrivel in the
conscience of the reader as he follows
page after page. The earth becomes a
place of pilgrimage, and the souls
journey becomes a constructive ex-
perience in the light of the stories OF
Jean ValIean and Sidney Carton. Char
ity grows in the heart, tolerance in the
mind as their tales are told. Through
the narrative the student looks into the
core Of human life, finding 1t essenti-
ally good, essentially worthy.
The books Of nature lore likewise
must be fitting for Sunday perusal
books like Gilbert Whites History of
Selbourne," Hugh Miller's "Old Red
Sandston," Henry Walter Bates Nat
uralist on the River Amazonas" and
Thomas Belts Naturalist in Mica
ragua." And books Of travel like the
Journals" of Capt. James Cook and
Charles Darwin's Voyage of The

Scott; Benjamin Franklin's Auto
biography" Emerson's Representa-
tive Men," Carlyle's Heroes and Hero
Worship" and the memoirs of Riis, Box
and Pupin.
But possibly above all other books for
Sunday use the works Of the master
poets should be remembered Homer
and Vergil. Dante and Shakespeare are
almost Scriptural in their nobility, their
profundity and their power to move
the soul. The modern man or woman
may think Of them as remote and de-
tached but that would be but super

is beating in them today as when first
they were new. They are timeless, and

the 1,75e, 900 may have to come from
local revenues.
One man. the budget director, has
awaited the action of another one man,
the public relief administrator, before
deciding what to do about releasing
local revenues. Another one man, the
deputy relief administrator, has found
unemployment relief inadequate, but
the budget director is the only one
man who has the authority to say it is
inadequate, and he has not spoken.
The trouble is not in the Government
OF the District of Columbia. but in the
number Of men outside this government
who exercise the power of control. If
the various forms Of one-man Govern
ment in the Federal establishment
could get together, the solution of one

In one Of the critical periods in the
ministry Of Jesus He asked His dis
ciples: Whom do men say that I, the
Son Of Man, amp" In their confusion
they replied: Some say Thou art
Moses, some Elias and others one Of
the prophets" Immediately the Master
asked them the leading question:
Whom say ye that I amp" In this
question He endeavored to discover
what His life and ministry meant to
those closest to Him. 1t was His
natural desire to gain from them a
sincere expression, not only Of their
loyalty, but Of their understanding Of
the meaning Of his life and ministry.
Down through the long centuries OF
time this question which He asked has
some 19 centuries Of time He has
no norm or standard by which we can
measure His Incompatible person. He
stands utterly removed and apart from
all the sons of men. When we attempt
to appraise His life by that of other
men, no matter how great their stature,
they seem poor and mean and insignifi-
cant. 1t is little wonder that one Of
the worlds greatest leaders declared:
He is great with a greatness that
crushes me-" The late President Hyde
Of Bowdoin in an engaging book en-
titled, Prom Epicurus to Christ"
clearly shows the infinite superiority
of the teaching OF Jesus when con-
trasted with that Of the greatest moral
and ethical teachers of all times.
In our study of the lives of the good
and the great our estimate of their
worth does not necessarily have q de-
termining effect upon our own outlook
and philosophy Of life. We may admire
them, we may even seek to emulate
their virtues and do SO with profit to
ourselves, but whatever our attitude
may be with reference to them does
not necessarily concern either our
fortune or misfortune 1t is otherwise
with reference to our estimate of Jesus.
II we reject Him and refuse to accept
His philosophy of life. then We deny
ourselves the peace and satisfaction
which His mighty teachings afford. II
we accept Him and attempt to follow
His ideal Of life 1t determines our
whole course, affects our daily habit
and gives def1niteness apd hxity to
life's supreme objective. To every man
