ART Of War Has Made
Most Progress,
Says DR.. Durant
Author and Lecturer
Calls Prehistoric Man
Piker as q Killer

Picture our modern civilization
Hanging, perhaps this very moment,
on the decision of one or two men,"
Think of great bombing fleets
destroying what was once England
or Germany and of civil war and
destruction arising in their wake.
Imagine savages, perhaps a few
hundred years hence, wandering
over what were once great cities.
This pessimistic picture was drawn
last night by DR.. Will Durant, noted
author and lecturer. in the first Of
series of talks sponsored by the
National Temple Forum at the
Washington Hebrew Congregation,
8l6 Eighth street NV.
Choosing as his subject, "Is Prog
ress Real?" DR.. Durant claimed
that nothing has made more prog
ress than the art of war.
I'VE want to heal better than be-
fore but we also want to kill better
than before" he declared. "Prehis-
toric man was a piker in the art of
killing. Why, now, in the very spot
where man, thousands of years ago,
was lucky to kill % or 40 of his
fellow creatures in a battle, armies
are facing each other with weapons
powerful enough to destroy 100000
men in an hour.
Class War Held Inevitable.
"But what can you expect" he
continued, lin a society that gives
new tools to the clever to use against
the weak. enriching the rich, not the
poor. Such a society must fail tC
solve the class war that must newt
ably arise from such situation
causing civil war and universal
chaos and confusion"
The slim. white haired lecturer
wondered if the whole human race
would tire of science and its accom-.
panying knowledge to be used fol
exploitation and creation and de.
struction. Perhaps we will all q

zation, back to the myths that once

Reaffirms Faith in Progress.
Sounding more optimistic not
however, DR.. Durant reaffirmed hi

 Covichs letters, Krause alleges, were received by l.. H. Herrin at Naknek, Hilbert Anderson at Snag Point and one Flick, delegate at Choggiung, among others.
 Quit Job to go Fishing
 Krause said he had quit a job at the mine to go fishing in Bris- tol Bay and that Covich knew this at the time of writing the letters. For more than a year he has been earning a wage of approximately $50 per month at the mine, Krause states, and says he would have earned more than $500 at Bris- tol Bay during the fishing season.
 Shortly after he arrived at Nak- nek in June, Krause states in his .uit, he was approached by Herrin and told to get out of the coun- try." He was told the same by An derson at Snag Point, and by Flick ct Choggiung that his life was IT danger unless he left Bristol Bay the complaint alleges.
