WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.-Great
Britain expects Germany 10 launch
within the next 60 days the
greatest air. sea and land offensive
the world has ever witnessed. IN
formed quarters said today.
The British are convinced that
Adolf Hitler is about ready 70
strike and that when he does so
the German offensive may be
launched on nearly half a dozen
fronts az the same time.
But il also is the considered
view Of an increasing number OF
experts that the invasion attempt
will not come until Germany has
frightened its economic blockade
around Britain so severely that
great hardship has become wide
spread throughout he country.
WIDESPREAD ATTACKS
II is considered highly probable
BY the British government that
their simultaneous attacks will be
launched against the British Isles
Ireland. Iceland. Gibraltar. Greece
and British positions in Africa.
The British expect Hitler 10
launch the offensive on as many
fronts as possible in order 10 have
some victory TO offer the German
people in case the invasion at
tempt on England fails. That an
invasion attempt viii be made is
regarded as a virtual certainty by
the British government.
If it should fail. as the British
are confident il will, il is felt in

CLAIM TO VICTORY

II he achieves victory on any
one of the other fronts. such as
in the Balkans, the British believe
he will claim that was the main
objective of his offensive and
assert the attack on England was
merely feint.
Losses suffered in the attack on
England will be minimized in Ger
many and the people will be told
their forces have scored another
great victory somewhere.
However, the British govern
ment believes England will receive
the main brunt of the German
Spring offensive. Britain's leaders
foresee the possibility of the Cdr
man air force sending a vast fldet
Of as many as 10000 warpla1es
over the British Isles at one tiAhe
in an effort to gain mastery of the
air over the Royal Air Force.
RAID ON SHIPPING
They also foresee the possibility
of Hitler and Mussolini sending
800 to 400 German and Italian
submarines into the North Atlantic
and the Mediterranean in an at
tempt to cripple British shipping
The British also believe the in
vasion attempt on England will
start with the landing of thousands
of German parachute troops and
probably the use of poison gas. II
is considered likely that parachute
troops also will be used in any
attempt to occupy Ireland or
Iceland.
While these operations are under
way In the northern theater of
war. the British believe the Ger
man army in the Balkans may
move through Bulgaria to attack
Greece while German dive bombers
and parachute troops attack the
British in Africa.

RADIANT LIVING
The Simplicity of Religion
By Rev. G. nj. Griffith

By Rev. c. NJ. Griffith
80. Cecilton, Md. 80. 80.
Ages ago man believed that he
could not approach his gods without
bringing with him an offering which
cost him dearly. But we are happy
today to know through the revelation
of the truth given to us by the New
Testament that the Deity is not some
austere autocratic God, who is always
demanding costly sacrifice, and who
is always threatening with dire con-
sequences any person who offends
Him in the slightest way.
Through the Scriptures we have
learned that the Deity is one whose
heart is that of fathers and whose
love is that of mothers.
Declares the Scriptures: God is
love-"
Such is the simplicity of God. And
true religion, which is mans relation
to his God, should be like God, the
simplicity of love.
Love is not dormant. 1t is not in
active. It is not passive. Love is
active. It is dynamic! Love must
express itself. Love is the most pow
erful force in the universe. Nothing
can stand before it. Even God Him.
self was moved by love to make His
supreme Sacrifice for us. Declared
st. John: God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son."
The simplicity of religion lies in
the activities of this dynamic love-
love that lives, thrills, serves, gives,
sacrifices!
No one can better express the SIM
plicity of love in life than the old
Prophet who declared: "And what
doth the Lord require of thee, but to
do justly, to love mercy and to walk
humbly with thy God"
AS did ancient man, we today, are
also convinced that we should pres
ent an offering to our Deity. But
our offering is not that of a bloody
human or animal sacrifice. It is
rather the sacrifice of self in time
or in money or in both in an effort
to be a Good Samaritan to some one
who is in need.
To walk daily arm in arm with God,
in the one supreme endeavor to live
and to love and to serve-this is re-
ligion and this is radiancy!

of them, or a chicken liver omelet or
serve sauteed chicken livers, or just
heaps of various dishes, any one OF

the male members of the family. Here
are two:
