Chaplain al lorton
Tells Of Need Of
Community Aid
Soys Responsibility for
Released Prisoners
Rests on Citizens

The people of Washington are re-
sponsible for the 10000 criminals
and delinquents released yearly
from District penal and corrective
institutions, the Rev. Leonard Fd-
monds, chaplain of Lorton Reforma-
tory, declared yesterday.
Speaking at luncheon meeting
at the Y. w. c. A. attended by
church and lay representatives, the
Rev. Mr.. Edmonds told of his work
at Lorton since first he came to the
institution early in September. .
Society" he said, "is inevitably
responsible for its delinquent on
spring. In securing a permanent
Protestant chaplain the first step
has been taken"
He mentioned several reasons for
there being inmates of Lorton,
psychological and sociological, add
ing that many are there because
the churches failed to equip them
with a genuine philosophy of life
Asks Community's Help.
Saying he was deeply aware of
the responsibility and magnitude"
of his job, he appealed to those
present for your help and the
Christian resources of this COM
munity."
The Rev. Mr.. Edmonds was en-
ployed as the first Protestant chap
lain of Lorton as a result of efforts
Of a group of church and civic lead
ers. Long conscious of the need for
a chaplain, the group met, called
itself the Temporary Committee on
Chaplain and began q search for q
suitable clergyman.
Despite there being no money i'm
mediately available from the budget
Of the Washington Federation Of
Churches to pay the chaplain's SAL
ary, the federation's Committee on
Civic Affairs Is lending itself to the
work of the Temporary Committee,
which is to solicit enough money
from churches, civic and other
groups and individuals to defray
the Rev. Mr.. Edmonds' salary. OF
the required $4,000 some $500 al
ready has been subscribed.
Graduate Of Park College.
A graduate of Park College in
Missouri, the young minister studied
theology at the Louisville (Ky)
Presbyterian Seminary. Finishing
in 1898, he next received practical
training under the Council for Clint
cal Training Of Theological Stu
dents.
He was following the councils
course at the Federal Reformatory
at Chillicothe, Ohio, when called to
Lorton.
Ray L. Hui, superintendent Of
District penal institutions, who
spoke at the luncheon, said, the Rev.
Mr.. Edmonds came well equipped"
and that he was getting acquaint-
ed" with the persons under his
spiritual care.
The Rev. A. j. Mccartney, pastor
of the Presbyterian Church of the
Covenant and chairman of the
Temporary Committee on Chaplain.
introduced the Rev. Mr.. Edmonds.
He said a full-time chaplain was
essential to the moral and spiritual
welfare Of Jail inmates"
Speaking Of the work of the Tenn
porary Committee, DR.. William
Darby, executive secretary Of the
Washington Federation of Churches,
assured those present the new chap
lain had made q zine start"

Death Haze in Human Eyes
Which ForeteIIs End Described
Dr.. Davis Gives Details to Medical
Society; insanity Seen in Isolation

spends much time alone with them
one is sinking rapidly into a seri-
GUS mental disorder.
Applied to Nation as u Whole.
TT is the same with a nation that
tries to isolate itself in the status
quo. 1t is madness to say that some
particular aggregation Of people can
be different from all other peoples.
Yet we have evidence that even now
there is some enthusiasm for the
status quo lurking near the surface
in this country.
The status quo is q hgment of
the mind Nothing living stands
still. And today our social system
is being attacked as a social system
has never been attacked before in
the history Of man
Human progress, DR.. Sullivan
said, has been largely matter Of
breaking loose from the shackles Of
the very status quo" which isola-
tionists seek to defend. Human
abilities are stripped loose from it
by painful experiences rising from
within, he pointed out, and the re-
suit in the past has been progress
in great revolutionary spurts. If
there had been none of the sand of
devotion to the status quo in human
culture, he said, ''our civilization to-
day might surpass mans widest
dreams of heaven"
DIT fI,;e 10oea frov,, &Lo
status quo, Dr. Sullivan said. can
result in unloosing g'eat destructive
as we'll as constructive forces, and it
is a miracle that these have not
completely wrecked society in the
past.
Other Side Of Picture.
Now" he said, I'VE have come to
the other side of the picture. A
man of exceptional abilities leads an
unhappy childhood and a thwarted
life. All things as they are become
hateful to him. The energies of his
mind are torn loose from devotion
to these things and are devoted not
to making them better but to de-
stroying. them"
Even aside from the isolationist
doctrines, DR.. Sullivan said, the sit
uation in America has resulted in
mild symptoms of mental disease.
Faced with an emergency, he said,
I'VE have developed lots of ways Of
killing time with great pomp and
circumstance. This means the dis
,integration Of q people. We are
mostly doing nothing except passing
time"
Senator William H. King Of Utah
followed DR.. Sullivan with an ad-
dress on War, Medicine and Pre-
paredness" in which he declared
that the present crisis must be
looked upon as a world revolution
from which the United States can
not expect to remain isolated.

germany, accOrQlng 10 all eStl-
mates, has enough food to continue
on her present rations for at least
two years. Most of her diet she
raises within her borders, except for
wheat, of which she has large guam
titles stored. Bread allotment of
sumption. Nazis of course know this,
and continue to issue extra cards as
a constant advertisement to the
people that they will never starve.
However, Germany last year had
bumper potato-cabbage harvest un-
likely to repeat next year, so the
situation is due to get slowly worse
but very slowly. Wartime losses plus
wartime diversion of labor from
farms to front and factories promise
farm labor shortage next year which
would curtail production as in last
war. Nazis hope to counteract this
by forced labor-without pay-on
German farms-of million or more
Poles.
Expect Western Front Action.
Military plans: Nazis have given
up hope of early peace without fight
ing through possible separation Of
the French from the English; now
plan quick hard smash against allies
which might come any time after
weather moderates; certainly
heavy air attack against England
co-ordinated with land-push
around one or the other wings of
the Maginot Line, probably via Bel
GUM or Holland. Nazi leaders feel
fairly sure the British can't take it,
and that peace will come before the
middle of summer.
Peace terms: The Nazis are con-
fident and cocky. Without this
spring offensive. they would settle
for keeping their present gains
lying low for year-then making
another grab. But if they must
fight this spring, they say the peace
price is dismemberment of the
British Empire. France they would
not bother much, except to take
Alsace-Lorraine and her colonies;
they do not fear France
/ Morale: Germans don't like this
particular war, but think spring
offensive must come before peace.
If this does not bring peace they
will be greatly surprised and be-
Wildered but observers are sure
they still will trust Hitler enough to
fight on for year or so. Few Ger
mans are mentally prepared for
really long war-all trustingly be-
lieve Hitler will get peace by sum-
mer at latest. Even anti-Nazi Ger
