Matters Of Speculation
By CHARLES A. SMITH.

LONDON, Jan. 26 0.N.S0.-The
lwar-Studded march Of European az
fairs moved into a new stage today
when Barcelona, last industrial
stronghold of the Spanish govern
ment, fell into the hands of Gen
eralisSimo Francisco Frances in
surgent forces.
While British officials anxiouSly
awaited authoritative word from
the captured city on the actual
state of affairs, there was keen
speculation regarding Frances fu-
ture plans and on the possibility
of the government forces reviving
their strength and morale for fur.
ther resistance.
Up to 5 o'clock this evening
moon E.S.T.) there had been vir-
tually no direct communications
from Barcelona. All news Of the
city's capture had been given out
by insurgent authorities them
selves.
MADRID STILL LOYAL
Insurgent occupation Of all
northeastern Spain is now fore
gone conclusion, but Madrid, an
cient capital Of the country, re-
mains in government hands and is
strongly defended.
So far as Great Britain is con-
cerned, chief interest centers in
the question of whether there is
any possibility of the French gov
ernment responding to the de-
mands Of left-w1ng parties for i'm
mediate if belated aid to the gov
ernment side.
Premier Benito Mussolini has
made no secret of his intention
to double or even triple his pres
ent aid to Franco If France at
temptS any such intervention. He
is already reported to have called
up thousands of additional re-
servists to meet any such con-
tingency.
FRENCH AID NEEDED
Well-informed observers believe
that unless France does give aid
to the government side, at least
to the extent Of opening up the
Franco-SpaniSh border for passage
of munitions and food supplies to
the retreating forces, the two-and-
a-half-year-old civil war in Spain
has finally reached its closing
stage.
without such supplies, it is
held, the government armies have
little chance of reorganizing them
selves for any decisive new stand.

Columns of insurgent troops
began moving into the city at
noon. Two hours later they were
still m arching triumphantly
through streets packed with Wild

patton. Crowds were packed at
every window and on every
balcony.
THE insurgents red-and-gold
colors appeared magically
throughout the city. Falangist
(Spanish FaScist) songs and Slo-
gans were sung and chanted."
"The troops slowly converged
upon the Plaza De Catalina, the
main square in the center OF the
city.
HORSES KISSED
"The crowds broke ranks to
embrace the soldiers, and when
the cavalrymen appeared, ran
into the streets to kiss their
horses because they could not
reach the riders themselves.

Commenting on the Navy'S pres.

to great modification of even the
lesser recommendations of the
board, Hepburn said:
Dredging Of the channel and
harbor at Guam will, of course,
be of value for the handling of
submarines and aircraft. It will
enable submarines to put in
there with greater safety"
The Navy, under the modified
plan, proposes to spend S., 1000, ,00C
over a three-year period, dredging
the harbor, constructing a break
water. and erecting hangers, shops
and barracks.
To establish a strong submarine
and air base as proposed by the
Hepburn board would cost $50 ,0OO,.

PROPOSALS MADE

He pointed out, however, thai
the report itself actually made
two proposals concerning Guam
and that in making the major
proposal, the board had noted that
political and economic issues were
involved.
THE board proposed that a
strong submarine and air base be
established at Guam in the be-
lief that the whole question of
defending Hawaii and the con-
tinental United States would be
reduced to Simplified terms" he
said.
"An alternative proposal was
for a complete advance fleet
base, and it was realized that
here was a question of political
and economic policy for which
we had no authority"
"ANSWER YES OR NO"
Republican members of the
committee sought repeatedly tc
pin the witness down on the ques
tion of whether Guam, which Is
only 1,500 miles from the Japanese
mainland, could by any military
device be made an offensive rather
than defensive base. Finally
this exchange occurred:
Representative Church (R.) o1
Illinois: do you, Admiral Hep
burn, consider a major naval base
at Guam an act of aggression
against any nation, for instance
Japan? Answer yes or no."
Chairman Vinson CD of Geor
gia: Now. see here, we've got tc
allow the witness some latitude.
don't think he has to anwser yes
or no."
Church: well, Admiral, suppoS
ing you answer yes or no with g
little latitude, and you might
throw in some longitude, too."
Admiral Hepburn: THE answer
is no."

Lesson Text: Acts Clip, 1913

Our lesson today concerns one
of the most epochful events in
the worlds history. It tells how
Saul of Tarsus changed from a
prosecutor to missionary of the
Christian faith.
Saul has been described as ''the
greatest and most influential man
of human history, and there is
not much exaggeration in the
Characterization. For, if Saul had
not spread the Christian doctrine
to Europe no one knows what the
subsequent course of western
history might have been.
It might be well to know a few
facts about Saufs early life. His
father was a Roman citizen, al
though a Jew, and lived in Tar
sus, prominent city and college
center of that day, situated on
the northeastern corner of the
Mediterranean Sea. It had an
extensive commerce at that time
and its university outranked the
famous one at Alexandria.
SauPs family life is partly a
matter of conjecture. He had a
sister, we know. Because of the
requirement of a member of the
Sanhedrin the supposition is that
Saul had been married, although
from the fact no mention is made
of his wife later we infer he was
a widower during the days cover

ed by the Biblical story of his
life. Saul's father was evidently
in comfol table circumstances for
the boy was raised to be a rabbi
and was sent to Jerusalem for re-
ligious training.
Saul possessed an unusually
keen and analytical mind, the
product of inheritance and train
ing AS boy he studied in the
local synagogue school, mainly
concentrating on the Old Tesla
ment, probably using the Septua-
gint version. At the age of thir-
teen he became a "son of the
commandment" and was taught a
trade, in his case, tent-making.
AT about fifteen. years of age
Saul was sent to Jerusalem.
where he was educated under the
great teacher, Gamaliel, renown-
ed throughout Jewish circles as
a profound and pure teacher.
After his rabbinical studies
were concluded, Saul probably
returned TO his native city and
possibly served there for twelve
or fifteen years. In his way he
was absent from Judea during the
active ministry of Jesus, and new
er came in personal contact with
him. Six years after the cruel
fixion We find Saul back in Jeru-
salem, a. member of the Sanhe-
drin, and a most bitter enemy of
the new faith. His reputation as
a prosecutor of those who be-
lieved on Jesus spread through
out the Christian groups, and
Saul himself declared that none
had been more cruel and heart
less against Christians than he
himself.
Saul was present when Stephen
was stoned. He took an active
part in the effort to stamp out
what was regarded as heresy.
Throughout Jerusalem he made
havoc of the church, invading
homes to send believers to pris-
on. Many of them were scourg-
ed, some suffered death, and
every impeachment possible was
thrown across the path of the
new faith by the jealous Saul.
At length he requested plenary
powers to journey into other sec
tons, especially Damascus, so
that he could root out the new
faith everywhere.
On the way to Damascus the
great event took place. Saul, trav-
cling eagerly to wreak his ven
geance on those who profeSSed
faith in Jesus, met and talked
with the Master on the highway.
In later life he listed this occa-
sion as one of the appearances
of Jesus after the resurrection.
Saul realized who had appeared
TO him and talked with him, and
underwent a complete change.
Physically he was rendered blind
