CART BEFORE HORSE,
MEN WITHOUT MACHINES
AS READ in a recent issue Of
Golfers, w. B. Courtney's graphic
description of the German Panzer
invasion of Greece, / thought Of
what America has been doing to
meet just such an attack.
We have called to the colors close
to one and half million men, at a
cost of better than one and a half
billion dollars to the government for
their food, clothing and pay. We
have taught those men to do tours
right and tours left, or column right
or left, as troops we're taught years
ago when / knew something Of sol-
diering.
Today the striking force of an
army does not consist of men. It
consists Of machines of terrific de-
structive power when operated by
highly trained specialists. Such is
German Panzer division.
England, France, Poland and
Greece learned that men alone, no
matter ! how courageous and well
trained, could not stand against fast
moving machines, operated by ex-
perts. III @
We could not train our men in
the operation of machines, for we
did not, and have not, the machines.
That we did not have them is not
the fault of the government for it
takes some years to provide them.
The most valuable thing men can
do now, or could have done during
the past year, is to produce the
machines with which an army must
be equipped If it is to have chance
of success.
In our army of close to one mil
lion and half men, we have two
divisions of the regular army rea-
sonably well equipped with modern
war machines, and some partial
equipment in a small portion of our
National Guard. For the million
ssselectees'' called into service we
had practically nothing. They pass
out of the army with no training
that will be of value in the defense
Of America. The great majority Of
them know nothing Of the machines
Of modern warfare.
We have let war hysteria put the
cart before the horse. We have
provided the men without having the
machines for them to work. with.
Why not first use American man.

machines of war?

LET US INVITE LETTERS
FROM THE BOYS IN CAMP


FATHERS AND MOTHERS, espe-
cially those of rural communities.
are fearful of what the army may do
TO their sons. They would be
pleased to know what the army can
do, and is doing FOR their sons.
The one place where the army's
public relations or publicity is fall
ing down is in connection with that
so per cent of America which in
rural. There is greater interest in
such sections in what the army il
doing FOR its personnel than is to
be found among the masses Of the
cities.
r the army could encourage the
young men to write letters to their
hometown newspapers, each telling
in his own way Of what he does, Of
the other young men he meets
where they are from, his interest in
his daily routine and what it is,
much would be accomplished.
People Of each rural community
are proud Of their young men who
are in the army. AL of the people
of the community know each and
every one Of these young men. They
are the boys, not only Of Father
and Mother Jones, but of every 9TH
er father and mother. A letter from
any one soldier to his hometown
newspaper is letter to all the peo-
pie Of the community.
It Ia in no way an impossible prob
lem to induce the soldier boys, one
or more from each community each
week to write such q letter to his
hometown paper. Every editor and
every reader. would welcome such
letters. From reading them, all IA
Tiers and mothers would soon real
ize what the army il doing FOR
their boys. A u
Without its being a matter Of CEN
sorship, company commanders
could easily see that such letters did
not contain anything detrimental to
the interests of the nation.
Our army is entitled to the enthu-
siastic support of all Americans. It
can have that 100 per cent support
when those at home realize what
their soldier boys are doing for the
nation, and what the army is doing
FOR the soldier boys. Letters from
the boys to the hometown papers
will do the job, and every editor Of
such paper would welcome them.

DRAFT:
Men, Business

The drawing for the second draft,
that of 100000 new 21-year-olds,
came at a moment when the contro-
versy was at its height over two
other drafts-that of whether the
older selectees and National Guards
men should be kept in more than
year, and whether the bill calling
for draft of business if neces-
sary, should be passed.
General Marshall had not pulled
any punches in letting congress
know his stand in the matter, which
was to keep both guardsmen and
selectees in over the time limit, and
he had President Roosevelt appar-
emily vigorously back of him.
On top of this, the senate military
affairs committee revealed that it
had been informed that a 'svital mil
itary weapon" which might prove
to be of the utmost importance"
had been denied to the army by
the fact that the government did
not have the power to draft indus
try"
No further details as to the nature
of the weapon were revealed, but
the report was important in that it
showed spirit on the part of the
senate body to ask the passage of
this bill, which had been under
legislative cloud for some time.
As to the addition of time of serv-
ice for the guards and selectees,
some Washington observers report
ed sentiment growing for passage
of the measure, others seemed to
see it doomed to defeat.
TAX: at

That income taxes would be two
to three times as high as at present
was agreed on by the house ways
and means committee, but that
body. ended three-hour secret SEES
sion on the tax bill in a row over
whether husbands and wives should
/ be forced to file joint returns.
It was unofficially reported that
the husband-wife plan had previous
" been approved BY 1910 vote.
but IA the secret session vigorous
opposition il said to have developed.

RUSSIA: Il j
Line Pierced
Though claims Of Russians and
Germans continued to conflict, it
was apparent that the Stain line
had been pierced at least three
times, once each in the northern,
central and southern fronts.
Thus it was evident that despite
the huge numbers Of troops involved,
which lent a confused element to
the picture, the Nazi technique of
spearheads and pincer movements
was working out inexorably, even
though more slowly than the Nazis
themselves had figured.
Some of the German claims met
public denial from the British mis-
sion to Moscow, such as the asser-
ton from Berlin that the Russian
air feet had been rendered useless
in the face of German air attacks.
The British in Moscow informed
London that this claim was prema-
ture, that Russia still had a large
and active air-force, and was deal
ing important damage to the Nazis.
Though perilous and daring, the
spearhead technique which with
equal armies might prove terrible
boomerang, especially if defenses as
worked out by Weygand should be
effectively carried out, was appar-
emily beyond the Russian armies
ability to Withstand.
The fall of Leningrad, Moscow and
Kiev in many quarters was believed
inevitable and perhaps imminent,
and whether the Reds could get their
armies back of the Moscow-Lenin-
grad-Kiev line and 60 on fighting
rear-guard actions seemed dubious
in the extreme.
Still unconfrmed reports had Smo-
lensk, vital city on the road to Mos
cow, in German hands OF. surround
ed, and there were even reports
from Sweden that Moscow was I'M
der terrific bombing and that the
Kremlin had been ruined"
This, however, the Germans did
not claim, the high command SIM
ply stating that the Nazi forces
would content themselves with the
destruction Of the effectiveness of
the Russian troops before going on
to Moscow.
With regard to Leningrad, the
Germans said that their pincers
were closing on the city; and that
it was sure to fall soon.
As to Kiev, Nazi sources claimed
their advance units were to the east
of the city, having passed it, to the.
south. Etn5s
From the Russian viewpoint. all
was not SO hopeless, for while they
admitted German advances on the
central front, rney Claimed that
the two pIncer-neads attacking Len
lngrad were not moving through the
Russian defenses, and that on the
south the German-Humanian armies
were stalled also. a4

WIND ABOVE

BY Rev. G. M. Griffith
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Md.

I recall with delight the many
happy experiences in fishing on the
Tangier Sound. One day, however,
my experience was not so delight
full.
1T was a hot day. was anchor
ed off shore a mile or two. There
sat astern with a line out over
my finger waiting expectantly for
that thrilling sharp tug that tells
every nerve in your body that
you've got something"
The water was glistening smooth.
But later I noticed that the west
had darkened. Presently there
came breeze that stiffened. White
caps appeared. Then the thing
happened that 1 shall never forget.
There arose from the water all
around me a strange ominous hiss
ing.
I became alarmed. My boat was
now rocking violently. 1 saw the
top of the mast whip crafty back
and forth, wildly etching upon the
dark overhead cloud frightened
zigzag lines. 1 snatched in my line
and quickly ran up sail. 1 upan-
chored and, watching my chance,
went about, and began running be-
fore the wind shoreward.
I shall never forget that strange
warning kissing sound. That ex-
perience taught me that even on a
calm sea, one should always be on
the alert.
The Master emphasized the need
for continuous caution. What 1

Paul also adds his warning: But
