SALVATION ARMY
 CONQUERS AFRICA
Crusaders Now Working Where Livingstone and
 Stanley Met

The Salvation Army is now push- ing its operations in the locality made famous by the historic meet ing of Henry M. Stanley and David Livingstone.
 Less than two hundred and fifty miles from Ujiji, Tanganyika, in the heart of Africa, where, under a mango tree, the author-traveler greeted the missionary explorer with the dramatic words, "Dr. Living stone, I presume?" devoted Salva- tionist pioneers have established their headquarters, from which cen- ter they are at present engaged in cutting an widening swath through the darkness, ignorance, and superstition of age-old heath eniSm.
 Twenty-seven months ago, ad- jutant and Mrs. Francis Dare, with Captain and Mrs. Madete, their African assistants, arrived in Tan- ganyika--a country with a native population of over 0,000-and unfurled the Army banner at Tabora. They expected difficulties, and were not in the least dismayed when they loomed large from the very outset.
 Faith in God
 Although there are many diff1- culties to be encountered" wrote the Adjutant in his first dispatch, with faith in God, much prayer and hard work, we are believing for great vic- tories. We will endeavor to make Tabora ring with the name of Jesus"
 Thus almost upon arrival the pioneer quartet held a series of open-air meetings in various parts of the town, Captain Madete beat ing the drum, Mrs. Dare carrying the flag and the Adjutant playing concertina. Large crowds of peo- pie were attracted.
 By the end of the first week Q store was fixed up for Army oc- cupancy and into it crowded the natives to see and hear the strange folk who had landed in their midst. Outside, looking in, was another large crowd. The meetings were at times of somewhat boiSterouS character but
 During the first week end twenty one natives sought the Christ at the Army mercy-seat.
 Two converts walked more than one hundred miles to attend an Army meeting. A drink slave, em- ployed in one of the government of fees, was converted. Another man drove in from distant town with a load of hides, heard the Army's message and was converted. Still another man stopped in to see his brother, an Army convert, while on his way to Zanzibar, and was con- verted before he continued his journey.
 473 Converted
 At the end of the first year there were forty soldiers and forty-two re- cruits on the rolls and 8 total of 473 converts. During this same period tambourine band was formed and proved a great attrac- tion. particularly in the open-air gatherings. Many of the converts first became interested in the army because of the lively music of these instruments.
 The latest word from Tanganyika tells of the distribution of 1000 of General Evangeline Booths World For God" campaign manimestoes, printed in Kt-Swahili, in towns and villages, and receipt of an urgent re- quest from native boys to commence Army operations in Musoma.
 Thus is the Salvation Army boldly attempting to write "Iallelujah! r across the another great gap on the African map.

wrong to say: ''The Body of Christ is round," or "the Blood of Christ has 8 light color," for these expressions are to be used with regard to the accidents alone.
 Explain the faith of the Jews concerning Jesus.
 4. The word faith is not here correctly applied. The Jews have their articles of faith and in these Jesus is not mentioned. The question might be more properly posed by using the word opinion" and even in this case 1t would be diffi- if not impossible, for any one to speak for all the Jews.
 Being pure Monotheists. the Jews reject the ascription of di- vinity to any one but God. This does not mean that Jews deny the work of Jesus or reject the beauty of his teachings. Tt does not mean," Rabbi Morris s. Lazaron said recently. that we disregard the thrilling appeal of his life as the generations have idealized 1t; 1t does not mean that we refuse him 8 place among the greatest of our pro- phets. But 1t does mean that we Jews cannot put him in a position that even by inference may challenge the unity of the God-head. For us no person. ality. however God-like, may be allowed to jeopardize this unity. And so, all the love the Chris tian gives to Jesus. the Jew gives to God"
 Rabbi Lazaron further point ed out that it may mtereS' Christians to know that ill man. Jewish xunday schools the story 0f the Nazarene is taught witl reverence and understandings

0. In what language did Jesus speak?

JCSuS SpCOAS
 A. Jesus spoke Aramaic, which was the common speech of Palestine in his day. Hebrew had ceased to be the spoken language of Palestine several hundred years before the Chris tian era. The use of Aramaic was very wide even in Baby- lonian times. Aramaic in- scriptions dating probably from before the time of Syrus have been found in Syria, Babylonia, Egypt and Arabia. There were several dialects of this lan- guage, that of Judea differing from that of Galilee and still more from that spoken in Sa- maria.
 Q. How is Christ really pres. ent in the Holy Eucharist?
 A. A Catholic spokesman re- plies: The Council of Trent de- clared that "by the conservation of the bread and of the wine a conversion is made of the whole substance of the bread into the substance of the Body of Christ Our Lord. and of the whole substance of the wine into the substance of His Blood: which conversion is by the Holy Catholic church suitably and properly called transsubstantia- tion." The substance of Christ's Body in the Eucharist has none of the sensible qualities of 8 human body: it Is not extended so as to occupy space, although 1t is united with accidents which do occupy space. Con- trary to physical laws, as the Catechism of the Council of Trent says, they subsist 0. themselves, inhering in no suh- ject." It would. therefore, be

GERMAN AVIATOR
is HELD IN FRANCE
Possibility of Spy Ring Seen as
Flyer Lands in Isolated Sec.
ton Near Beziers.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BEZIERS, France, March 20.-In
the arrest tonight of a mysterious Ger
man aviator grounded on an isolated
country road in the south of France
French police believed they may have
struck the trail of a highly organized
spy ring,
Farmers near BeMerS saw the pilot
bring his plane down in a field beside
the road and begin to talk with the
occupants of waiting automobile who
had been waving to him while he was
still aloft
The farmers called the gendarmes.
Before they had arrived, however, the
talk evidently was completed. The
automobile drove away rapidly. The
pilot ran back to his plane, but the
gendarmes seized him before he was
able to restart his motor. A police
alarm was broadcast for the automo-
bile, but late tonight it was still at
large.
The aviator gave his name as Schu-
maker, admitted he was German, but
refused to tell what he was doing in
an out of the way part of the French
countryside or give the names of those
in the motor cars.

Herault in the extreme south OF
France, west of Marseille on the Gull

Of ALIENS URGED
Dies Asks Law Requiring
Deportation in Spread of
Propaganda.
~ che Associated Press.

Representative Dies, Democrat, OF
Texas yesterday proposed a law re-
quiring deportation of aliens who, he
said, are spreading foreign propaganda
in this country in preparation for
another world war.
I'VE are anxious to get this bill
through In \ hurry" Dies told re-
porters, because it would reach
good many aliens who are propa-
gandizing the United States, preach
ing Nazi-ism and communism, and
spending foreign money to do it.
There is no question in my mind
but that every foreign government
has \ propaganda machine working
here. England, France, Italy, Ger
many. Russia and Japan are looking
forward to another world war.
Play for U. 5. Sympathy.
Each has paid emissaries playing
for our sympathy and organizing
meetings, many OF them in secret, in
hopes of getting supplies and money
II they cannot actually drag us into
war
There is no use passing a neutral
ity law when that sort OF propaganda
is going on"
He said Chairman Dickstein of the
House Immigration Committee had
agreed to early hearings on his meas
ure, probably beginning this week.
He said he believed both the Immi-
grafton Committee and the Labor De-
partment, which administers immigra-
ton laws, would approve the bill.
Discretion for Labor Unit.
Dies measure would give the Labor
Department discretion to deport aliens
convicted Of misdemeanors It would
make mandatory the deportation of
aliens who:
Have been convicted of felony or
violation OF narcotic laws of any of
| the States or Territories.
Possess or carry machine gun or
similar weapon.
Engage in smuggling.
Fail within year after enactment
of the bill or within year of their
entry to declare their intentions OF
becoming American citizens.
Advocate or teach overthrow of the
Government by force or violence, the
assaulting or killing Of any govern
ment Official, destruction or damage OF
property and sabotage, or who urge
ests blishing Communistic, Fascist
or Nazi regime.
