Senator Glass said he was in
favor of our sending conveys abroad,
although the Hitler talk was inter-
preted as meaning that American
ships carrying or conveying goods
to Britain would be in danger of
German torpedoes. He said:

Senator White, Republican, of

From Senator Nye, Republican, of
North Dakota. an opponent of the
leaSe-lend bill, came a statement
that it was "just what you would
expect from that source" He added
that the Hitler statement should
not prompt us at all" But that
provisions of the lease-lend bill
are a very direct invitation for an
attack by Germany on our ship

Hitler Warning Fails
To Alter Views on
Bill, Senator'S Say
Speech Made to Reussure
People of Germany,
George Asserts

The comment of leading members
Of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee today indicated that
Adolf Hitler's torpedo warning had
failed to influence the prevailing
opinion about the value of the Brit
ish-aid bill. The reaction ranged
from bellicosity, on the part of Sem
ator Glass, Democrat, of Virginia, to
calm from Chairman George.
Undoubtedly" Senator George
said, the speech was made to reas-
sure the German people that the
pending lease-lend bill was not un-
expected by the German govern
ment. Its obvious purpose was to
bring reinsurance to the German
people
Senator George, who will guide
the bill through the Senate for the
administration, called the torpedo
warning a notice that Germany
would treat as the ships of a bel
ligerent any American vessel sent to
England with supplies.
Sees Support for Bill.
"That speech will gain support
for our bill" Senator Pepper, Demo-
crat, of Florida said 1T is not

missionary from Los Angeles, Calif1

eral today that a japanese naval
launch fired a machine gun at his

capsizing her. Then officials board

Southern Indo- China as "a neces-
sity in connection with the armistice
negotiations" between Thailand
(Siam) and French Indo-C China.
The spokesman declined to am
plify this statement and said he
was not informed whether Japan,
which is acting In the role Of
mediator, would guarantee" en-
forcement of the armistice terms.
The japanese naval concentra-
ton had enhanced belief in some
quarters that further Japanese ac-
tivities in Indo-China were i'm
minent.
Reports from Saigon, French
Indo-China, said two Japanese
cruisers, two aircraft carriers and
two torpedo boats were lying of the
coast.
Dispatches from the Indo-China
city also have stated that final peace
talks between Thailand and Indo-
China would be held IN Toxic
The border fighting grew out of
Thai demands for the return Of
former Thai territory from the
French colony, including parts of
Laos and Cambodia.

CONTRADICTIONS


Is there a contradictory side Of life
That always leaves a blessing?
Or is there mixed in true and false
An element of guessing?
Why should the years acquiring
knowledge
Make professors of the art,
If when the learned and the illiterate
speak
They are not known apart?
If church must have its teachers
Must there be one here and there,
That never daily lives religion
After Sundays virtuous air?
Why do the rich men horde their
gold
And get no more for living,
Than does the poor with calloused
hands,
Who constantly are giving?
Is there contradictory side of life
That never is distressing,
That plainly marks the right and
wrong
Without bit of guessing?

RADIANT LIVING
The Hunger OF God
By Rev. c. M. Griffith
No~slA0~ AML
CeciltOn, Md.

It is matter of common thought
to speak of our hunger for God. But
has it occurred to us to think that
perhaps God Himself feels longing
to have fellowship with man?
Just as we crave to know God and
to enter into the joy of Divine Fell
lowship and thus to feel a deep in
ward hunger has been so thrillingly
satisfied, so. there must be in the
heart of God deep hunger for COM
radeship with human heart-with
the hearts of His own children.
Fathers and mothers who enjoy an
intimate fellowship and priceless com
radeship with their adolescent sons
and daughters understand what I am
writing about.
The heart of God is delighted by
the confidence of the man or the
woman who trusts Him and who
"tells Him all about it,"
If God is not hungry for human
love and for human fellowship why
did He follow SHINING fleeing Adam
into the great trees Of the Garden
and call out in sorrowing tones for
him: adam, where art thou?"
If God is not hungry for human
love and for human fellowship, why
did His eternal Son divest Himself
of His heavenly glory and descend
into the realm of human conscious
ness? Why, indeed, did He go even
to the Cross?
If God is not hungry for your
love and for your fellowship why did
He inspire His servant, st. John the
Divine to write: Behold, I stand at
the door, and knock: if any man hear
my voice, and open the door, I will
come in to him, and will sup with
him, and he with me-"
God is truely hungry. He is hun
CRY for your comradeship.

Official averages of the 1910 sea-
son in the Eastern Shore League
show that Dover had the champion
ship infield, its quartet leading in ev-
cry position. Swoboda, at first base,
had a field average of 1896 in lit
games, and Gaulin, at second base,
had an average of $40 in 1919 games.
Wodzicki, at third, played in lit
games with an average of 1897 while
Kardash, at short, in 90 games field
ed at a .945. pace. Munningohoff,
who played FL games at short for
Dover before Kardash reported, field
ed, incidentally, at 1852 rate, so
that Dover's infield was the best
from a fielding standpoint through
out the year.

From the standpoint Of realistic
appearance. the pick of Mr.. john
sons collection would be Howard
locomotive made prior to 1908 and
Voltamp of about 1916 This latter
loco, steam type, of course, ap-
proaches more nearly the realism Of
todayS models than any other. Both
of these operate on a two-rail track
instead of the three-rail track used
by most tinplate today
Gauges in this collection range
from l inch to 2Ia inches. Mr john
son has one room of his home de-
voted to his collection (which fills it,
and has some track laid on which to
operate his models. He prefers to
procure them with original paint,
etc, when possible. and if they don't
run he repairs them. In fact, con-
siderable of his spare time is de-
voted to repairing and rebuilding
damaged items he has picked up.
Some of Mr.. Johnson's trains have
been obtained in their ogiginal
packages, having remained thus un-
touched through the years. He has
a supply of duplicates on hand to
use in trading with other collectors.
Besides the models, he has Currier
& Ives railroad prints hanging on his
wallss and occasionally he takes
locomotive and streetcar photo
graphs He has many miscellaneous
items. such as tinplate stations. sig
nal bridges, catalogues and ads for
tinplate from old magazines.
