A youth has fewer responsibilities

Men in actual combat service are
only a fraction of the troops used

does fighting. There is no sense in

and setting him to rolling pills in a

greatly reduce the drain on the best

ALASKAN FRONT
A glance at the map of the North
Pacific will show that we are closer
to Russia than, any other good
neighbor except Canada and Mex
leo. At Boring straits, Siberia and
Alaska almost touch. That is under
the Arctic circle and is not dan
gerous menace. But, far to the
south of that, our Aleutian islands
lie like stepping stones on the way
to Kamchatka. The outlying Rus
sian islands of Komandorski and
Boring seem to be a mere extern

are within a few miles of the Amer

We have no fortifcation or air

purely for defensive purposes, we

Evangelical Synod Asks
Taylor Recall al Once
BY the Associated Press

LANCASTER, Pa, June 26.-The
newly-formed general synod Of the
Evangelical and Reformed Church
asked today for the immediate re-
call" of Myron C. Taylor as the
Presidents representative to the
Vatican.
A resolution, with only one dis
senting vote, said the synod aligned
itself with other denominations" in
protesting Mr.. Taylor's appointment
'on the ground that 1t violates the
American principle of the separa-
ton of the church and state"
Delegates moved also last night
to exempt members of the denomi-
nation who are conscientious OBJ
1ectors" from military service. A
commission was authorized to COM
pile register of objectors and CO.
operate in a movement to have
jurisdiction over them transferred
from the War Department to the
Justice Department.
The suspension of the Rev. T..
Buehrer OF Green Bay, Wis, was
upheld in a report of the judicial
commission presented by the Rev.
E. c. Grauer of Wasau, Wis.
The synod also formally affiliated
the church with the World Council
of Churches and renewed its affilia-
tlon with the Federal Council Of
Churches.

Greatest Preparedness
In U. 5. History Forecast
BY the Associated Press.

l. SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.-
George Creel, the Government s
World War propaganda chief, be-
lieves 1--WE Americans have senti-
mentalized about free speech, free
assemblage and free press to the
point of criminal idiocy."
IF the individual is protected
against libel, slander, obscenities,
etc, why is it Fascistic for the Gov
ernment to protect itself against
treason?" Mr.. Creel asked in an
address last night to a group of en-
glneers, achitects and contractors.
Predicting military preparedness
would come to America on a scale
greater than ever known, Mr.. Creel
declared the Nation would have to
start from scratch as far as NUM-
tions are concerned" because of
"tub-thumping demagogues who
scared the country into defense
lessness by their screams against
war mongers' and merchants of
DEATH"
For the last 20 years" he asserted,
they have dinned the charge that
munitions makers drove America
into the World War for the sake of
bloodstained profits. No greater lie
was ever uttered"

Each division is representative Of
the whole nation with, so far as
possible, battalions or companies
from each of the provinces.
Like the regulars, Canadian
militiamerl enlist only for home serv-
ice and must re-enlist before they
can be sent beyond the fontier. This
Is a cherished bit of Canadian ira
dition. Only in extremities such as
arose in the last World War will
Canadians be sent overseas unless
they themselves want to go-and
emotion is so tense in the country
just now that there is a surplus of
volunteers.
Full Division in War.
There is the vital question Of
equipment which delays building up
the divisions to war strength inn
mediately. Uniforms, as a speaker
in Parliament said the other day,
don't grow on trees and I'm afraid
the ones we are giving our volun-
teers hardly would meet the ap-
proval Of sergeant major of the
Household Guards. But they're not
intended for his approval"
Thus far only single full di-
vision Of Canadian troops and some
auxiliaries-about 10000 in all
are overseas. They are still in Eng
land, having twice failed to get into
action after being ordered to the
front. Detachments have been sent
to relieve garrisons of British regu-
lars in the West Indies. Canada
has taken over the defense of Ice
land and Newfoundland, both of
vital Importance for the security of
the North Atlantic sea lanes over
which all troops and supplies must
go to Europe.
Voluntary enlistments are at a
rate of about 800 a day, with very
little question but that this number
could be doubled with a little en-
couragement. The men are being
trained in six camps, scattered
over the Dominion. All fresh from
civilian life with no military ira
dition among them other than the
examples of their fathers and uncles
who fought at Passchendaele and
Vimy Ridge and Ypres against the
fathers and uncles of the legions of
Hitler.

The little nation of II 900 900 which

than it is able to equip. But 1t is
