GERMANY IS NOT
 TO FIGHT AGAIN
Hitler Made Statement to London Writer About
 His Native Land

London, Aug 6 6- (U.P.) =, Ger many never will fight again except in self defense, Chancellor Adolf Hitler told G. Ward Price, special Daily Mall correspondent. In an in- terview published to-day.
 If 1t rests with Germany" Hitler said, war will not come again to us. War offers no prizes, 1918 was a lesson and a warning. We ask only that present frontiers be main tained. We will never fight again except in self defense"
 Territorial differences with France. Hitler said, will cease wher the Saar question is settled.
 Apropos to the statement of Stan ley Baldwin, Lord Privy Seal in the British cabinet, that the Rhine must be regarded as Great Britain's air frontier, Hitler said it did not worry Germany, nor did the con- templated increase of the British Air force.
 "Such steps as we are taking" he said, ,'are meant to deal vii h the fact that we are surrounded ,'y ring of powerful potential foes"
 He concluded abruptly, the cor respondent said, by asserting of Austria:
 we shall not attack Austria"
 Hitler indicated, the correspond cnt said, that he was convinced vote would show Austrians desired Ansehluss, or .Austrian-G German union.

NO MANS LAND IN NEXT WAR TO
 BE HIGH IN AIR
Army Experts at Work to Make Stratosphere
 Unliveable Spot

Washington, Aug 6-OP)- Army experts went to work today to turn the stratosphere into the no mans land of the next war.
 Taking 8 page from the concep- tions of imaginative writers. ordi- nance scientists are busy devising a "stratosphere gun" which they say will turn upper regions into an unliveable place for enemy air planes.
 The plans to fill the upper air regions with high explosives and shrapnel are going forward even before scientists have completed preliminary surveys of the ten- miles-above earth area.
 With these time-fused, explosive shells, army designers hope to have two chances at future enemy planes-one chance while the shell is going up and the other when the exploded shell falls toward earth.
 Combined with long-range anti aircraft gun of approximately A. inch calibre, which it is hoped will have an effective range of ten miles altitude, will be a group of highly developed radio electric range and altitude finders, speed and direction indicators, and fire control appara- tus which almost completely elim- mate the human factor.
 Experiments already conducted have shown that with this electrical fire-control apparatus direct hits have been made up to 50 per cent on aerial targets lowed at high al- titudes, without the gun crews sighting the targets. The present anti-aircraft equipment of he U. s. army includes two types of high al- titude. guns.
 One is the 75-mm gun. which shoots a 3-inch high explosive pro- jectile and is effective at range between five and eight miles. This is a mobile gun, mounted on pneu- matic tires and capable of rapid transport from one position to an- other.
 The other high-altitude weapon is the 105-mm gun, approximately 4-inch caliber, which throws high explosive projectiles to an altitude of approximately eight miles. Army ballistic experts are now experi- menting to increase this range to ten miles, or more, altitude.

In Loving Memory of Mrs Bridget (ikirby) O'COnnor.


 Mrs Bridget (ixirby) O'connor. Death has broken the link that
 bound Three loving sisters together, Where ere you chance to meet one You'd surely see the other. Their joys and sorrows they have
 told each other With sympathy from their heart, Till deaths cold hand has reached And made these fond ones part. They'll miss the smile that greeted
 them As they met from day to day. As they. told each others daily That came and went their way. They'll miss that gentle tender That is stilled forever more, And that tender. gentle footstep Coming to the door Yes, she was a loving sister, Always ready to do her part Also willing to help the others Keen in judgement and kind of
 heart She will be missed amongst her
 neighbors That RiIsgsing person death has She'll be missed as tender mother, For that vacant chair can ne'er be by M. J. WALLACE.

Sergeant Brickel's
 Record 43 Years
Popular Court Officer on Force Longer Than Any
 Other Member-AppOinted in 1891

Forty-three years of service as a member of the police department was ended Saturday by Sergeant John Brickel, giving the court off, Ger the longest service record of any policeman in the history of the city and one of hte longest in the records of any police department in America.
 Sergt Brickel, who is still hale and hearty though approaching his Fist birthday, was on duty as us- ual this morning in city court, where he had the distinction, IS years ago, of being the first police officer to open the court. He opened his 44th year as a regular policeman by officially opening this mornings session with the pound- ing of the gavel.
 Appointed in 1891
 The veteran police officer was appointed a regular member of the force on August 4th, 1891. Without a uniform, he pinned on his badge and went on duty on the Wash ington and South Main street beat. During his first night of duty, he made five arrests, in one case sub duing an infiamed gentleman with a blow of his fist. Two weeks later he received his uniform. meanwhile working in plain colthes.
 Sergt Brickel was made court of- ffeer IS years ago and has opened and closed city court since that time, also supervising the bringing of prisoners to the New Haven county jail. In his 43 years he compiled an excellent record as a policeman, making some note- worthy arrests. He has been in al- most every branch of the depart ment and has seen the local force evolve into one of the nations fin- est.
 71 On Feb 22
 The sergeant will be Fl on Feb II of next year and is confident that next August will see him com pleting his 44th year with the po- lice department.

That Still Small Voice

TEXT: There are, It may be, so
many kinds Of voices In the world,
and non Of them is without signi.
floation."-l corinthian 14:1o. ......
Listen to a multitude Of people
all talking together, and you get
a cadence of voices which the A.
postle John accurately described as
the sound CT many waters" Tune
your ear more infinitely for the
subjects of conversation, and you
find how various are the thoughts
and opinions OF mankind.
Listen to the roar of public OPP
inion, and sift out the voices. When
the times are prosperous, there IL
a jubilence in the sound, and you
catch such words as dollars"
cents" Thousand" and million"
That is the voice Of Materialism
speaking. His voice is not with
out significance. When times be-
come very hard, unemployment
universal, and children cry Tor
bread, while luxury is Haunted in
the face of the poor, then we hear
Of revolution" That, too, is a
very significant voice.
These are just a few Of the vic
es of suffering humanity, to which
we do well to take heed. Injury
breeds disease and wounds light
ly healed are more dangerous than
open sores. Shall God speak to us
through wind and fire and earth
quake, or shall we heed His still,
small voice. saying, Come unto
Me, all We that are weary and hea-
Wy laden, and ye shall find rest UNI
to your souls" He has provided
a rest for His people, and when
our political, and commercial, and
social institutions will take His
yoke upon them, and learn of Him,
we shall find His yoke easy and
His burden light. That still,
small voice" is the most signifi-
cant of all.
