The delegates also discussed the
recent activities for the preparation
of Seventh-day Adventist youths for
service to the Government in time
of war and in training large medi4
cal cadet corps to serve in time of
national emergency. Such service,
the group asserted, will be "of real
service to the Government and at
the same time meet the limitations
of our conscien tious convictions.
Another resolution adopted yes
terday Emphasizes the valu.. of i'm
proving, enlarging and beautifying
all church buildines and properties.

Germany Warns French
To Shun De GouIIe Army

NEW YORK, June u R.-The
German radio broadcast message
to the French people today warning
them against enlisting in Gen.
Charles de Gaulle's proposed French
Legion, according to broadcast
picked up here by the Columbia
Broadcasting System.
The text of the broadcast follows:
Gen. de Gaulle, a soldier whose
reputation as an expert is gagged
by number of pamphlets written
in his study and whose moral repu-
tation has been irretrievably shat
tered by his ignoble flight to London,
has broadcast an announcement
that he is organizing French For
eign Legion in Great Britain.
Frenchmen would be we'll advised
to avoid any connection whatsoever
with this legion.
"The armistice terms make it per-
fectly plain to every Frenchman
that he is no longer entitled to fight
against Germany or Italy. If he
should do so, he lays himself open
to all the penalties provided by in
ternational law against civilians who
take part in hostilities."

War Department
Would Apply Brakes
To Army Increase
Congress to Be Told
SOC, 900 Is Maximum
Expansion Figure
BY the Associated Press.

The prospect of a congressional
drive for Regular Army of 1000
or 100000 men placed the War
Department today in the unusual
position of counselling a temporary
halt in further expansion of the
fighting forces.
Authoritative sources forecast
there would be Army opposition to
any plan that would increase the
number of troops beyond a maxi
mum of 100000. Even this would
raise difficulties which some officers
prefer to postpone.
The 400,000-man Army, recently
approved by the House, embodies
the general staff's ideas of the size
of land and Air Corps forces which
can be fully organized, trained and
equipped in the next few months
without jeopardizing readiness to
cope with an emergency.
Despite the Army's view, proposals
for further immediate increases to-
ward million men have been ad-
vanced in both the Senate and House
and are expected to be pressed when
Congress reconvenes next week after
the current recess.
Would Strip Guard.
Officials noted that Gen. George
c. Marshall, chief of staff. already
has discouraged continued expansion
for the present on the ground that
1t would require the lengthy training
OF new units without a nucleus OF
experienced troops, the withdrawal
OF needed personnel from seasoned
existing units and stripping the
National Guard of equipment.
I'VE must keep seasoned, trained
divisions available for immediate
service Gen. Marshall told a SEN
ate Appropriations Committee, add
Ing that weakening the Nationa
Guard would be "unwise."
He said, however, that an increase
from 40G, 900 to 5OO,0 900 might be han
died by expanding units from peace
to war strength.
The Army in being today ha.
DSSi iCSi oltCO up W dpCuI ZtU,UUU
and Gen. Marshall told reporters
yesterday he believed the strength
could be raised to 1896 900 by Sep
tember. The Air Corps expansion
OF 10000 men, already appropriated
for, can await the training of pilots
and the delivery of new warplanes
he said.
West Point Unaffected.
The Army is not ready yet to fol-
low the Navy's example and shorten
the course of the Military Academy
Gen. Marshall said, expressing con-
f1dence that a SUFFICIENT number OF
capable officers for the expanded
land forces could be obtained from
more than 100000 available Re-
serviSts.
The 100000 Regular troops au-
thorized thus far by Congress, plus
the National Guard of 234,0O0 or
more, would give the Nation land
force of more than 10000 trained
men for any defense emergency

what steps may be taken Ill the
meantime for compulsory training.
