BELGIUM ADDS
TO STEEL FORTS
FACING BERLIN
DefenSeS Will Rim Borders
From Mediterranean to
North Sea.

Copyright. l934. By United Press)
PARIS, April 81. - Belgium has
decided definitely to extend along
the German frontier to the sea the
wall of steel" that France has built
on her part of the border from
Switzerland to Belgium, it was
learned tdoay.
It was understood that the Bel
gian staff submitted the plans to
the French general staff, which
made suggestions for further
strengthening.
AS plans are now, military en-
eineers believe that between Ger
many on one side and France and
Belgium on the other, there will be
an invisible wall which no army can
pass.
French authoritative circles said
that the Belgian wall probably
would be completed within year,
when the two countries would lie
behind Notifications of steel and
concrete really extending from the
North sea to the Mediterranean sea
for Frances system of forts on
the southeast extends from Switzer-
land to the sea along the Italian
frontier. Only the swiss frontier
will be left unfortifed.
Belgium in Triangle
Belgium really will lie hemmed
in between two fortified walls, with
the North sea forming the third
side of the triangular wedge which
Belgium cuts into the north Of Eur
ope.
France already has laid down the
foundations of a fortified defense
line on the French side of the Bel
gian frontier. After the Belgian
forts are completed, an invader to
reach France through Belgium will
have to break through two separate
lines.
The French wall of steel" is
known as the Maginot wall, built
under the late Andre Maginot, war
minister. This wall now ends at
Belgium. Belgium is to take it up
and extend it along the German
and Dutch frontiers.
In the Belgian WALL will be guns
capable of shooting entirely over
the narrow strip of Holland that eX-
tends southwark between Belgium
and Germany.
There will be separate forts, be-
lieved impregnable, backed up by a
continuous line Of machine gun
pill boxes" artillery posts. under
ground passages and Notifications.
Troops Are Mobile
The fortifications will hook up
with the advance line of France s
two walls at Metz and Longwy.
The Belgian second line will extend
from the Meuse river to the scheldt.
Two army corps will occupy the
frontier area.
Through the Belgian province of
Luxembourg, west of the Grand
DuChy of Luxembourg, there will be
several hundred super pill boxes"
Fortified casernes, to house troops,
are under construction at Bastogne
and Bielsalm, and are to be COM
pleted in August. These troops will
be highly mobile, and on bicycles,
motorcycles and in automobiles and
trucks can cover the whole frontier
Armored airplaneS. caterpillar
tread automobiles carrying guns,
mobile mortar batteries and mobile
f1ve-inch guns will occupy the area.
Backing up the forts there will be
the Belgian lowlands. At any time
Belgian engineers will be prepared
to flood them too deep for horses
or cars to cross.

Sunday Sermon
RICHES REMAIN
AS BARRIER TO
REALM OF GOD
Situation Unchanged Since
Young Man Turned
From Jesus.
r.. zW-xk IoT N
BY VIM. E. GLROY, ID. d.
Editor of Advance
Text: Matt, 1870.


The story of the rich young man
who came to Jesus seeking the
way of eternal life has made a pro-
found impression upon human in
terest. though it does not seem to
have had an equal effect upon Spir-
itual attitudes and decisions of the
will.
Wealth, though it need not neceS-
Sarily be a barrier between man and
God, and though it may in fact be
made a means of grace and blessing,
still constitutes a barrier that keeps
men from the kingdom of heaven
and from appropriating the reality
Of eternal life.
1t is as true today as it was in
the days when Jesus was on earth
that where mans treasure is, there
will his heart be also.
The kingdom of heaven must be
the first and supreme thing in a
mans life or it cannot be there at
all
The failure to grasp this keeps
men from entering the kingdom
just as it kept this young man who
came to Jesus.
One should not in any way mis-
understand the dramatic aspects of
the narrative. This young man
was not mean or selfish person.
There is no indication that he was
in any sense a money grabber, or
that he was unduly attached to
his wealth.
He had great possessions and he
no doubt had grown up in the psy-
chology that these great posses
SionS induced.
He turned away Sorrowfully when
Jesus invited him to find the king
dom by leaving his great wealth, but
the probability is that he was puz-
zled rather than confirmed in a
wrong decision.
The power of his death and his
environment had taken from him the
capacity for clear thinking and
clear seeing.
We should, no doubt, today in
our modern world set such a
man as an ideal for youth. Yet
here is the clear record that there
was one thing lacking, the most
essential thing of all, the thing
that would have linked him to the
Master and that would have given
him his place in the kingdom.
There is a tradition that the
young man did ultimately come to
Jesus or gave himself to the king
dom, as he was not willing to do
at this time. Tradition has asso-
ciated this young man with Joseph
of Arimathea, who asked for the
body of Jesus, that he might bury
it; but all this is tradition.
We do not know what was the
young mans future, whether his
rejection of Jesus and his depart
ure in sorrow marked a final deci-
sion in his life, or whether he came
later to some finer commitment.
One thing is certain, that if he
went away sorrowful, there was
thereafter no real peace in his life.
He had missed that glorious salts
faction that again and again has
come to men and women who have
joyfully accepted Christ's invita-
ton, though it has meant, appar-
emily, the sacrifice of everything
even life itself
They discover the truth of Jesus,
that he that loseth his life shall
find it.

 2 AMENDMENTS
Changes Are Slight, How ever, and Only Slight

 DRY AND FEDERAL ACT
Liquor Board Unable to Act, However, Until
 Finally Approved

The National House of Rep resentatives today passed the Senate bill to repeal PrOhibi- tion laws in Alaska, accord ing to an Associated Press news dispatch from Washing ton received by The Empire. As the bill was amended in two minor particulars by the House it now goes back to the Senate for approval.
 Both of the amendments were made at the suggestion of Attorney General Homer s. Cummings. It is not be- lieved that there will be any delay in the Senate's agree ment to them. The bill gives Alaska the right to handle the liquor traffic through the Legislature.
 Both Local and National
 The bill repeals in its entirety the Alaska Bone Dry Law, which has been on the statute books since January 1, 1918 This section of the Senate bill was not changed by the House.
 It also repeals the National Pro- hibition Act, except in two respects. The Senate bill repealed it en- tirely. However, at the suggestion of Mir Cummings, the House left in effect Title III and Title II of the Act He pointed out that with Title III repealed no supply of denatured and tax-free alcohol can be shipped into Alaska because such alcohol can be withdrawn and shipped only under permit, and with Title III repealed there will be no authority for the issuance of such permits in Alaska" Title II merely relates to such permits and contains other provisions deem ed as essential to enforce Title III. At his suggestion, therefore, both titles mentioned were retained in effect, but all of the remaining portions of the National Prohibition Act repealed.
 These amendments the Senate will be asked to agree to. Since it passed the original repealer without debate, no fear is felt that it will reject the House amendments.
 Board Not Functionfng
 weyer, until agreement is reached and the measure approved by President Roosevelt, the Liquor Control Board created by the Leg islature last Spring cannot function since it does not come into exist ence until the repeal bill becomes a law. The Board will be com posed of Gov John w. Troy, Chair man; Frank A. Boyle, Auditor;

PEIPING, March 20.-The United States Legation has taken hand in Japanese inquiries concerning American m ission properties in North China which have aroused apprehension concerning the safety of Peiping.

 The mysterious actions of the Japanese agents have stirred both Chinese and foreign circles with the fear that North China is to be the scene of new ventures of the Japanese war machine.
