Architect Arrested
After Police Trace
Pawned Silver
Bandits Responsible
For Wave Of HoIdups
In CITY SOUGHT

Arrest of local architect as a
burglar and a hunt for a number
of small-time stickup men RESPONSE
BILE for a wave of holdups in the
District occupied local police over
the week end.
The arrest of the architect-Who
had just been released from Lorton
after serving 18 months on a house
breaking charge-came after local
detectives had become suspicious of
flood of household silver which
had appeared in local pawnshops.
Detective Sergts. Eugene Lam
bert and George Thornton and Pre-
cinct Detective George Saunders,
were credited with the arrest, which
also involved two Baltimore burglars.
The local detectives spotted the
silver in pawnshops here, but could
not connect it with any burglaries
in this city. Sergt. Lambert remem-
bered that the architect had been
released from Lorton recently and
obtained a picture of the man,
which he showed to pawnshop op-
orators.
Picture Identified.
They identified the picture as
that of the man who had been
pawning the silver. The detectives
picked the man up and obtained a
statement from him, duplicating two
men in Baltimore.
According to the detectives, the
Washington man said he had been
paWning silver here which was
stolen in Baltimore, while the Mary
land burglars were pawning articles
which he stole in Washington.
About $1,000 worth of silver was
recovered from local shops. Wash,
ington and Baltimore detectives CO.
operated to arrest one of the sus-
poets in the Maryland city, and
found about $1,000 worth OF silver
some of which had probably been
stolen herein his possession.
Several Week End Holdups.
Police were searching for the rob-
bers responsible for several holdups
over the week end. Among the vic
tins were:
Millard w. Petit, 46 I street NV,
night service manager of a gas sta
tion at 634 Florida avenue NV,
who was robbed of s35 yesterday
by two armed bandits.
Leonwood Williams. proprietor Of
a gas station at Rhode Island and
New Jersey avenues NV, who was
held up by colored man who OBJ
tanned IS.
Morris Abramson, owner of a
grocery store at 200 G street NV,
who was robbed of $40 by a shah
billy dressed bandit. Last Sunday,
Mr.. Abramson was held up by the
same man.
William c. Beatty of 1888 P street
NV. who was robbed of $40 by four
colored men as he was walking near
Fifteenth street and Rhode Island
avenue NV.
Burglars broke into a liquor store
at 1924 K street NV. to steal $3.50
in cash and 5000 worth of merchan-
disc, Joseph Rozansky. proprietor,
reported to police yesterday.

our determination to aid Great Brit
ain. No dictator, no combination OF
| dictators, will weaken that deter
mination by threats of how they
will construe that determination.
The British have received lnvalu-
able military support from the
heroic Greek army, and from the
forces of all the governments in
exile. Their strength is growing. 1t
is the strength Of men and women
who value their freedom more high
ly than they value their lives.
I believe that the. axis powers are
not going to win this war. I base
that belief on the latest and best in
formation.
We have no excuse for defeatism.
We have every good reason for hope
hope for peace, hope for the de-
tense of u civilization and for the
building of a better civilization in
the future.
I have the profound conviction
that the American people are now
determined to put forth a mightier
effort than they have ever yet made
to increase u production of all the
implements of defense, to meet the
threat to u democratic faith.
AS President of the United States
I call for that national effort. = call
for it in the name of this nation
which we love and honor and which
we are privileged and proud to serve,
I call upon u people with absolute
confidence that our common cause
will greatly: succeed.

1EAl + KOOSEVELTS TALK POINTING
TO NEW CRISIS FACING UNITED STATFS

WA0lll1No 1O4N oSS' 20. 7AHJ@
following is the text of Presi-
5ontBoosevelt's 'fireside chat to-
night.
This IS not a fireside chat on
war. It is a talk on national Sc
curity; because the nub of the
whole purpose of your President
is 10 keep you now, and your chill
dren later, and your grandchildren
much later, out of a last-ditch war
for the preservation of American
independence and all of the things
that A m e + i C a n independence
means to you and to me and to
ours.
Tonight, in the presence of a
world crisis, my mind goes back
eight years ago to a night in the
midst Of a domestic crisis. 1t was

can industry were grinding to a
full stop, when the whole banking
system of our country had ceased

IICtuTeS AuQle0ce
l we'll remember that while /
sat n my study in the White House,
preparing to talk with the people
of the United States, 1 had before
my eyes the picture of all those
Americans with whom 1 was talk
inc. l say the workman in the
mills. the mines, the factories; the
sri behind the counter; the small
sh0pkeeper, the farmer doing his
Spring blowing; the widows and
the old men wondering about their
life's savings.
I tried to convey to the great
mass of American people what the
banking crisis meant to them in
their daily lives.
Tonight, l want to do the same
thing. with the same people, in
this new crisis which faces Amer
ca.
We met the issue of 1888 with
courage and realism. We face this
new crisis-this new threat to the
security of our nation-with the
same courage and realism.
Never before since jamestown
and Plymouth Rock has our Amer
lean civilization been in such dan
ger a now.
Forl on September 27, 1910, by
an agreement signed in Berlin,
three powerful nations. two in Eu-
rope and n in Asia, joined them
selves together in the threat that
if the United States interfered with
Or blocked the expansion program
of these three nations a program
aimed at world control-they would
unite in ultimate action against
the United States.
Want to Dominate World
The Nazi masters of Germany
have made it clear that they in
tend not only to dominate all life
and thought N their own country,
but also to enslave the whole of
Europe, and then to use the re-
sources of Europe to dominate the
rest of the world.
Three weeks ago their leader
stated there are two worlds that
stand opposed to each other. Then
in defiant reply to his opponents,
he said this: ''others are correct
when they say: with this world
We cannot ever reconcile ourselves

IN the world. So said the leader
of the Nazts.

merely admits but proclaims that
there can be no ultimate peace

The shadow of the cross falls

Peter who had a moment before
spoken for God, now becomes the
mouthpiece of the devil. From con-

That he "meant Well'' does not eX-

Many outstanding miracles had
been performed by our Lore during
His ministry in Galilee, and now
as that period of His earthly WORK
was drawing to close He went with
the disciples north INTO the great
heather center. Caesarea Phillppl.
Here He asked them LIES greatest
question, What think we OF the
Christi" and Peter, blessed Of GOD
with true utterance. became the IN
strument for that confession OF
Christ upon which He could found
His Church. Then there came from
His blessed lips the prophecy of His
death and resurrection which would
make it possible for all who believe
to become the sons of God and menl-
bers of that Church.
|. The Qucstion-Who is the Son
Of Man? CIV. 1870.
The question of Christ was general
at first. and in the answer we find
that the people of our Lords own
day had a very high opinion OF
Him. They saw in Him the COM
bined merits of the outstanding char
acters of their generation. They
knew that He was no ordinary indi-
vidual He had made a striking
impression on His own age, as in
deed He has on every age of human
history.
Observe carefully that such con-
fession of Christ is not sufficient.
1t is not enough to acknowledge
Him as the great teacher, the per-
feet example, or the wayshOWer.
To deny His divinity, to take from
Him His place as Son of the living
God is to make Of Him an imposto1
and fraud.
The personal question which fol-
lows. when say we that l ann"
is the supremacy important question
from which no man can escape.
Neutrality is impossible. Whatever
we do or fail to do declares our
position. What think we of Christi"
is the touchstone which determines
character condition and destiny.
Peter by the grace of God had
come to the place where he recog-
nized the one with whom he was
having blessed fellowship in service
as the Messiah, the Amounted One,
the Son Of the living God We too
should be so responsive to the guild
ance and control of the Holy Spirit
that He may be able to teach us
spiritual truth, which flesh and blood
can never reveal.
III. The Church-Its True Founda-
tion wv. 1920.
Christ, the Son of the living God,
is the rock upon which the Church
is built. The confession by Peter
of this fact is in response to the
question of Christ, ''Whom say we
that I ann" and hence clearly re-
lates to Christ, not to Peter, or to
anything in Peters personality. He
was indeed blessed in his confess
sion of Christ, but it is Christ who is
the rock upon which the powerful
and glorious Church is founded
1t follows without possibility of de-
NAL that only that organization which
truly represents Jesus as the Christ,
the Son of the living God, has any
right to call itself church. Count
less are the groups calling them
selves churches which are nothing
but social or intellectual clubs with
