church, is the thought that
Christ glorified in his sacrifice
for mankind by a sacrifice of
men and women, in their pri-

he held out as beetficial for
them. Probably the most COM

in this respect was his phrase:

Fear Balkans Would Be Made
Battlefield In Major Clash
Between Germany And England
Cry Associated Press)

I
Balkan fears that a major clash
between Germany and Britain
will transform their countries in
to a battlefield were increased to-
day as British leaders in Cairo
hurled a defiant challenge at
! Adolf Hitler.
Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell and
his victorious army of the Nile,
Cairo announced, are ready to
meet Germany on any battlefield
she may choose. Plans for a
Balkan campaign already have
been worked out by General
Wavell and are ready for instant
use, the Cairo spokesman con-
tinued.
A rumor that Yugoslavia will
yield to German pressure and
| sign treaties with Germany and
Italy sometime next week has
gained wide credence in Balkan
capitals. According to most in
formed sources, Yugoslavia will
be forced to take an active part in
! the Axis partnership.
Berlin, meanwhile, has an
nounced that Turkish official is
on the way to Germany for a con-
ference with Adolf Hitler. Tur-
key has kept secret her decision
regarding note sent by Hitler.
but it is generally believed the
emiSsary to Berlin will announce
that Turkey is opposed to Ger
man occupation of the Balkans
and will stand at the side Of Great
Britain.
