Great Britain sought to prevent
foreign volunteers from fighting on

British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden, in London, instructed Lord
Plymouth, chairman of the Interna-

Are reports of mass movement OF
foreign volunteers into Spain true?
Does such action endanger European
peace?
Will countries participating IN the
non-interventon agreement prohibit
enlistment of foreign soldiers in either

JEWISH COMPOSER DIES

NEW YORK. December 2 R.-
Jacob Schaefer, composer and leader
of the Jewish Musical Workers Al

was 48.
Schaefer. director of the Freiheit

more easily understood word 'ofenses.
or the still more easily understood
word sins in the Our Father. 1t Is
on sins and not Of trespasses or debts
that our good people ought to think
when reciting the Our Father"
Another point which he raises is
to the justification Of the word hal
lowed" in the sense Of holy" In the
Lords Prayer. It Is, he points out,
almost archaic and probably many
who repeat it do not know exactly
what it means.
Apparently the only clear-cut diff
ference between the Catholic and
Protestant prayers, Msgr. Henry says,
| Is that the latter adds at the end
the words. For Thine Is the Kingdom
and the power and the glory forever
| and ever.
Objections to Action.
But, granting all the variations in
the common use Of the most familiar
words In the language, and the fact
that there is no absolute standard
to 60 by. what is to be done about it?
It would be possible for q group of
eminent scholars to get together and
decide upon the best version and then,
possibly, have the result Of their
labors given the authority of the Vati-
can, 50 far as Catholics are concerned
This, however, would be open to Ger
| tain grave objections. First, 1t would
require the discarding Of an enormous
amount Of religious literature in which
contrary texts appear, at great ex-
pense and inconvenience. Second, II
probably wouldn't do any good, any
way. The present generation learned
| the prayer at the knees Of its moth
ers. The words are used on all sorts
of occasions and frequently are heard
over the radio. ANY approved new
form could inSensibly be changed by
means of such contacts Of eyes and
ears with the prevailing common
form and with the best Of intentions
people probably would keep on say
ing: Forgive us our trespasses." And
after all it Is the spirit behind the
prayer. rather than exactitudes Of ex-
preston, which counts.
In the Episcopal Church, 1t wal
pointed out at the Washington Ca
thedral, there are two authorised ver-
sions-one Of which closes on the
concluding phrase, For Thine y the
kinsdom." GO.

Evans" he CRIED, Evans mere!
"Come, boys!" ordered the mate
Briant and his comrades rushed
into the storeroom. Forbes, seized
by four of the strongest, Baxter
Wilcox, Doniphan and Briant, was
put out of action and could not
escape.
AS for Rock, with a rapid move
ment he pushed Evans away, while
stabbing him with his knife wh1ct
Just grazed his left arm. Then he
rushed through the open door. He
had not gone 10 feet when the
mate had fired on Rock. Appar
entity the fugitive was not touched
for no cry was heard.
"A thousand thunders! I've
missed the rogue" cried Evans
"as for the other it will always be
one leSS!..."
And, knife in hand, he lifted his
arm over Forbes.
Mercy! Mercy!" begged the
wretch.
"Yesl Mercy. Evans!" cried
Kate, who threw herself between
the mate and Forbes. BE merci
full, since he saved my 'lfe!"
so be it" said Evans. I'm
willing, Kate, at least for the mo
ment." And he proceeded to tie
I'D Forbes securely and then put
him into one of the cupboards in
the passage.
Then the door Of the storeroom
was closed and barricaded and all
remained on guard until daybreak.
\
The next day, although the night
had been without sleep, no one
thought Of taking an hours rest.
There was no doubt now that Wal
ston would use force, since craft
ness had failed. Rock, who had
escaped the mates shot. most
probably had rejoined Walston and
told him that, since his hostile
moves had been discovered, he
could only enter French Den now
by forcing the doors!
At dawn, Evans, Briant, Donl'
phan, and Gordon went out of the
hall, while keeping themselves on
guard. Everything was quiet
around French Den, and Phann
gave no sign Of restlessness.
The ground showed traces OF
many footprints close to French
Den. They indicated that Walston
and his gang had come right up to
the river, waiting for the door tc
be opened for them. But there
were no traces Of blood on the
sand, proof that Rock had not
even been wounded by the mates
shot.
But there was still q question to
solve. Had Walston, like Rock and
Forbes, come by the south OF
Family Lake, or had he come down
from the north? In that case Rock
must have rejoined him in Traps
Woods.
II was decided to question
Forbes about which road Walston
had followed. Would Forbes speak
and, if he spoke, would he tell the
truth? Would gratefulness to Kate
who had interceded for his life
stir some good feeling in his
heart?
Evans united Forbes. brought
him out, and said:
"The surprise that you and
Rock planned has failed. It's i'm
portant that I know Walston's
plans. Of which you must be aware
The Washington times., 1936-10-14

of. Will you answer my ques-
tions?"
Forbes lowered his head. Not
wishing to look at Evans or Kate
or the boys, he kept his head
lowered and remained silent.
Forbes" broke in Kate, "you
showed a little pity when you
kept your companions from kill
ing me during the mutiny on
the Severn. Well, then, will you
now do something to save these
children from a more terrible
murder?"
Still Forbes did not answer.
Forbes" continued Kate, they
have allowed you to live when
you deserved death. All human
ity cannot be dead in you! After
having done so much harm you
can still make good! Think Of
the horrible crime you were lend
ing q hand to accomplish"
A sigh, half strangled, came
painfully from Forbes lips.
"And what can I do?" he
asked in a low voice.
"You can tell u.s." replied
Evans, what was to take place
last night; what will take place
later. Were you waiting for Wal
ston and the others who were
to get inside as soon as the door
was opened?"
Eyes"
"And these children would
have been killed."
Forbes lowered his head again
and this time he had not the
courage to answer.
And now, from which side
did Walston and the others come
up here?" asked the mate.
by the north Of the lake"
while you and Rock came by
the south?"
YES"
did they visit the western
part of the iSland?"
Not yet"
where are they now?"
II don't know"
'You can't say any more,
Forbes?"
mo Evans, no."
"And you think that Walston
will come back?"
eyes"
Evidently, walston's gang,
frightened by the mates gun
shot, and knowing that their
plan had been discovered, had
thought it wise to keep away
while waiting some more favor
able opportunity.
Evans, not hoping to learn
any more from Forbes, locked
him up again.
The situation was now terribly
serious. Where was WalSton at
the moment? Was he camped
in Traps-Woods? Nothing would
be more desirable than to be
certain about that. Therefore,
the mate decided to explore in
that direction, although this was
not without danger. The boys
agreed with his plan and ar
ranged for Iverson, Jenkins.
Dole, Costar, Jack, Kate and
Moko to remain in the hall in
charge Of Baxter.
CHAPTER xxx
The older ones, Briant, Gordon,
Doniphan, Cross, Service, Webb,
Wilcox and Garnet, would go with
Evans. Eight boys to oppose six
strong men, If they should meet
in the forest, did not give the
boys a fair chance. Yet, each one
carried a gun and a revolver.
while Walston only had five guns.
Under those conditions, a fight at
distance might offer more favor
able chances, since Doniphan.
Wilcox, and Cross we're good
shots, superior to the sailors
Then, again. munitions were not
lacking. while Walston, as the
mate had said, was probably re-
duced to only a few cartridges.

Department of Agriculture chemists
are juggling the molecules OF the "staf1
of life"
The ultimate object is to find new
ways of making bread which will appeal
to the tastes of the public and result IN
a greater consumption OF wheat flour.
The American people are not very avid
bread eaters. In some countries even
today comparative luxury, white bread
in the United States is usually taken Tor
granted. Bread" as a synonym = Tor
food is rather inapt for the present gen.
Grafton, because the baked loaf by no
means constitutes its chief form OF food.
Chemists L. H. Bailey. j. A. Leclerc and
their assistants in the food research divi-
sion of the Bureau of Chemistry and
Soils are attacking the basic chemistry
of bread in the hope of laying the foun-
dations for novel and tasty innovations
in the product that will restore 1t to
favor among those who now eat very
little of it. Above all, they are trying to
clear away the overgrowth OF custom ana
tradition which are responsible for the
bread of today being taken for granted"
They are trying the effects of various
mixtures with plain wheat flour, such as
soy bean flour, which may not only I'M
prove the taste, but add elements OF
nutrition not obtained in the ordinary
loaf. Also they are making various trick
breads, not with the idea of placing new
products on the market, but to delve
into the complicated chemical processes
which nature uses to produce the Ia
miliar loaf of bakery or kitchen.
One of the trick products is bread
1eayened with hydrogen peroxide instead
of yeast.
Dough "raised" with this material
Yields loaf almost indistinguishable in
appearance from that leavened by means
of the fermentation process of yeast. It
is as firm in texture and even tenderer.
There is only one drawback-it is almost
taSteless. This can be partly overcome
by adding flavoring materials to the
dough, such as cheese or raisins. The
characteristic flavor and aroma of bread
result largely from the process Of yeast
fermentation with the notable chemical
changes which this brings about.
Yeast is such an essential constituent
of bread today that it is difficult to
realize that it is comparative innova-
tion-that man ate wheaton loaves for
thousands of generations before anybody
thought about it. The use of yeast was
one of the trade secrets of Paris bakers
about $50 years ago, the bread chemists
explain. There was big scandal when
the secret leaked out. The bakers were
accused of poisoning the public. The
College of Physicians of Paris went on
record opposing yeast-leavened bread on
the ground that twas not wholesome.
The bakers surreptitiously continued
the practice. Despite the warning of the
medical men nobody died or seemed to
suffer seriously from eating the yeast
bread Gradually the housewives adopted
the method. It spread rapidly over the
entire continent Of Europe and the West

constitution" He persuaded himself that
existing conditions were undermining
the Japanese national spirit"
Proceeding on this thesis, Col. Aizawa
reached the conclusion that Gen.
Nagata was using his position In the
war department to checkmate the ina
tional renovation" Nagata's dismissal OF
Lieut.. Gen. Mazaki was the incident
that finally persuaded Col. Aizawa to
strike a decisive blow In the name OF
"the national spirit"
Underlying the extenuating circum-
stances adduced on the accused's behalf
is the long -smoldering demand OF the
fighting services for independence from
political influence and their antegonism
to parliamentary government, capitalists
and all other forms of civilian restraint.
It always has been contended at Toxic
that aggression on the mainland of Asia
was due in large degree to the inability
of the responsible government to control
the generals and the admirals. Pc
riodical assassinations Of Japanese prime
ministers and other statesmen in recent
years have given notorious expression to
militarist resentment of the efforts OF
craftsmanship to mold the empires policy
in accordance with international law and
the rights of outside powers. The Aizawa
trial should throw light on this sinister
aspect of conditions in Japan.

ern hemisphere Now few persons know
any other means of raising bread dough.
Yet yeast fermentation is only one way
of raising dough, and the chemists are
trying to get back to the fundamentals
to see if some of the neglected roads
may not go farther and lead to unsus-
pected delicacies. They are studying
such products as Salt-rising bread, whose
leavening agent is gas produced by bac-
terra; baking powder breads and breads
raised by charging the dough with car
bon dioxide. They are trying-thus far
without successful make bread with dry
ice as the source of the gas used in the
leavening process.
The chemists do not expect that either
hydrogen peroxide bread or dry ice bread
ever will be popular articles in lunch
basketS-yet they are far from mere
stunts" The chemistry of bread is very
complex. and only by getting down to the
fundamentals can they have solid basis
upon which to build up better breads for
future generations. The ways in which
the hydrogen peroxide bread differs from
the yeast bread gives basic information
on just what the yeast fermentation does
to the various constituents of dough.
with exactly the same mixtures. except
for the leavening agent. The loaves come
out of the oven chemically quite different
products. The peroxide bread, for exam
pie, contains in the end almost three
times as much sugar as the yeast bread.
Apparently the engines of flour and of
yeast play active roles in converting the
sugar into carbon dioxide and alcohol.
They also. it is believed, convert some of
the starch into sugar and afterward
change the sugar into alcohol. Although
the actual amounts of nitrogen in the
two breads were essentially the same, 1t
was combined into different protein sub
stances. The hydrogen peroxide bread
appeared to be even more valuable as
food than the yeast bread.
The production of favors and aromas
characteristic of yeast bread confronts
the chemists with the most difficult prob
lens of their investigation. Such quail
ties are intangible and often depend on
chemical reactions so subtle that they
are difficult to isolate. In the beginning
they just happened. Nobody set out de-
liberately to produce them. They ap-
pealed to the palate and hence yeast
leavened bread came into popularity. It
is quite different matter to capture
them in the laboratory and to arrange
them in new combinations.
The Department of Agriculture chem
lists have no quarrel with yeast and no
expectation that it will be outmoded in
bread production. 1t probably will al
ways remain the most efficient and popu-
lar bread-leavening agent. But they want
to find out Just how it works.

old and traditional doctrine of govern
ment and new and confessedly expert
mental doctrine. Also, events in foreign
lands forecast the coming Of an emer-
gency necessitating definite decision
between isolation and such international
attempts to deal with world problems as
the League Of Nations and the World
Court. In either instance DR.. Thwings
proposed tests might be consulted. They
furnish q criterion.
The danger, obviously constant and
never quite escaped by any community,
has two aspects. Firstly, there is the
issue of the relation of the masses to
their own government: secondly, there is
that of the relation Of governments to
each other. It follows that mere ex-
pediency in domestic affairs cannot suf-
flee. The voting public has the burden
some responsibility of selecting pro-
grams of social management and adjust
ment which will serve universal as we'll
as purely local ends. To illustrate the
difficulty prevailing drift may be cited;
the recent tendency of certain political
and economic schools Of thought to en-
brace dogmas which already are in ef-
feet in parts of Europe and which in
their essence are compromise which
almost surely would lead to closer con-
nection with those alien states involving
whatever results, good or bad, would ac-
crue from such a bond.
To thoughtful men and women the
dilemma will appeal as one to be studied
seriously and carefully. 1t has been said
that the November election will be the
most important in many years. Civiliza-
ton in America will be tested at the
polls. In sober truth the ordeal is a
matter of day-to-day experience. 1t is
a constant factor in national life. The
election is only the formal occasion of
decision. Even more important is the
slow but relentless evolution of opinion
which is expressed in the ballot.
