THE CAPTAIN FROM CON-
NECTICUT BY G. s. Forester
This Is Mr.. Forester's first novel
with an American hero. Captain
Josiah Peabody of the frigate
Delaware is, in his lean Yankee
way, as attractive and memorable
a character as Captain Horatio
Hornblower. His adventures dur
ing the War Of 1912 form a sup
erb story in the taut and vivid
style for which Mr.. Forester is
famous.
Captain Peabody is a fictional
character. Yet it was men like
him who compensated for the trag-
ic lack of warships, and, for a
brief time, had the world resound-
ing with the feats of our small
navy. His exploits have the ring
Of truth about them.
No one but a madman-or a
blockaded captain wild for action
would have thought of taking a
ship to sea in conditions such as
Captain Peabody faced in the Del
aware. The blizzard was so thick
it was hard to see a dozen yards
away. Long Island Sound had
never seemed so rough. He had
to break a blackade enforced by
full squadron Of British ships
Of the line. Only the element of
surprise was in his favor. Iron
ically, the last place where one
would expect to see a Yankee frig-
ate was in Long Island Sound in
those dark days of early 1914.
The hazardous voyage in the
Delaware takes her to the Carib-
bean. OF Haiti, she breaks up a
British convoy, Gripping frigate,
a corvette and an armed brig. She
sacks and pillages her way thru
the rich British islands Of the An
titles. She is cornered at last by
a British squadron in French Mar
Unique, with some surprising re-
suits.
There is the heady wine of bat.
tle-the- color Of tropic islands
romance lin the pleasant person
of Anne deVillebois, daughter of
the Governor of Martinique)-high
courage and high reading excite
ment in Mr.. Forester's fine tale of
stalwart American.

CHANG KAI-SHEK, MARSHAL
OF CHINA BY Sven Hedin

Since 1896, when he first explor-
ed Tibet, Sven Hedin has spent
long periods Of his remarkable life
in Asia. He developed deep ad-
miration and respect for the "fath-
er of the Chinese revolution" Sun
Yat-sen and, later, for the man
who has at last united China
Chang Kai-Shek. Now the FAM
Gus Swedish explorer writes a bio
graphy of the Chinese leader, one
of the great men of the modern
world.
But this Is not merely a bio
graphy; it is also in good part the
story Of Notwithstanding China.
In telling of Chiang's life DR.. He'd
in draws richly on his own init
mate knowledge Of the country, a
knowledge previously manifested
in his other books-A Conquest of
Tibet, Riddles Of the Cobb Desert,
The Silk Road, The Wandering
Lake, etc.
Approximately the first half of
the book concerns the period be-
fore the Marco Polo Bridge Incl
dent Of 1887 which set off the pres
ent Sino-Japanese war; The Sec
ond half, covering the subsequent
years, includes able discussions Of
Japan's road to world power" of
China's situation at the start Of
the war and of the course of
China's struggle under the Gener-
alissimo. An epilogue draws illum-
mating parallels between the west
ward drives of Attila the Hun and
Genghis Khan centuries age and
the westward movement in Asia to-

brought to the attention of all
members Of this regiment the nee
essity Of having your local Red
Cross unit certify requests for fur
loughs due to sickness or death at
your home. It is impossible to
emphasize too strongly the fact
that absolutely no furloughs can
be granted under any conditions
unless certified by the local Red
Cross Chapter in your town. 1t Is
suggested that each man in this
Regiment write home at the earl
lest possible opportunity informing
parents or relatives of the vital
necessity of contracting the Red
Cross Immediately upon the oc-
casion Of any sickness, serious in
jury, or death that would require
your presence at home, so that
they can then submit their re-
quest for furlough. There can and
will be no exceptions to this rule
so it is advisable that each man
take the proper steps to have the
necessary information from the
Red Cross forwarded at once to
avoid lost time that will insue."
This above mentioned paragraph
should be of vital interest to many
Of you and rather than have the
boys write and explain 1t, I thought
it would be a much better idea to
put it in here.
Roy Emmeck just got back from
radio school at the Preside Of
San Francisco last Saturday. He
had taken a 3 months course in
radio mechanics and had a very
high passing mark in the final
examination so now Roy is a very
accomplished radio repair man.
All the fellows in the battery well
coined him back because after be-
ing away for three months, well
it's pretty good to see a fellow
again.
With our annual target practice
and the Regimental Proficiency
Test behind us our regiment has
developed into very first class
outfit, in fact it ranks about tops
with any of them now. Well, 1t.
Colonel Roy Scott turned his Class
"a" regiment back to Colonel Car
ter just last Monday when the
Colonel returned from Fort Mon
roe, where he had been taking a
3 months Officers Refresher
Course. Eventually all the officers
will get to go there.
The football season is rapidly
approaching out here and Camp
Ham football team is going to be
organized in the very near future.
The Red Cross has given a num-
Der of footballs to our regiment
and about all one can see in the
air now is football. Almost every
fellow in the regiment has his eye
set on a certain position on the
team but the chances are very slim
as there are complete college var
sity teams from Bemidji and
Moorhead, not to mention the 9TH
err numbers of outstanding stars.
But everyone will be in there
pitching and you have to give a
fellow credit for trying.

sAUK CENTRE HERALD, Sank Centre, MINI.

Since left Sank Centre lots Of
water has run over the Dam
Especially the Sank Centre Damp
and more countries taken by Hit
Ter.
To start this poorly typed man.
uscript will start off by telling
you about your son Jim. Last week
we were in the desert during our
firing and few Of the boys de-
cided that they would raise small,
but nice mustaches, and in the
course Of few days the boys de-
cided that they would elect a pres
ident Of the club and, believe It or
not. I think Jim is going to be
president, as he certainly has a
funny little growth under his nose.
The life Of the average boy in
the service today is as nice as
many Of us ever had at home. To
start with we are disciplined a lot
different than we ever were at
home, but 1t isn't half as bad as
some people think. We have plen-
ty to eat, good place to sleep and
plenty Of fresh air and exercises.
So can see no reason for any
young man in the service to have
anything what so ever to kick
about. And to top it all off they
pay us to try to act like soldiers.
Colonel Scott has been doing a
swell job in his capacity as COM
manding officer Of our Regiment,
and he is ably assisted by Captain
Fischer. All Of the boys from home
are doing good job as well or the
Captain and Colonel couldn't very
well be doing as well as they are.
There have been lots Of rumors
flying around about leaving for
some place or other, but as yet
there is nothing definite.
At one time I was all set to go
to about ten different places at
once.
I am very sorry that I wasn't
home during the flood that you
had there as I understand that
the fire whistle blew three times
and just think I would have made
three dollars, and had lots of fun
trying to lick the water.
We have succeeded very we'll in
getting good beer out here, as they
now have both Hamm and Schmidt
here, so we do not miss our good
Minnesota Brew. OF course, none Of
us drink, but it is nice to think
that you can get it if you would
ever want to.
There really isn't much news to
tell you, but there is one thing
for a certainty and that is your
sending the Sank Centre Herald
here every week. I have never
seen a paper grabbed as fast as it
is when it arrives here Monday
morning. 1t certainly is swell Of
you and your staff to remember us
1000 miles away. So orchids to
you and the staff for thinking of
us. Tell Chuck we still enjoy his
column as much as ever and look
forward to seeing it every week.
Say hello to all the old gang,

Organized Bruin Power

1t is natural that the trained intel
ligence of the people of the United
States should be correlated to the
cause of national defense. President
Roosevelt has assigned DR.. Vannevar
Bush, a famous electrical engineer
who has been at the head of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington
since 1889, to direct the Office of
Scientific Research and Develop
ment, intended to enlist the brain
power of American men and women
of every class for the protection and
the advancement of democratic civ
ilization. This step obviously will off,
set the RECOMMENDATION of genius which
has been accomplished by the totali-
tartan countries in the recent past.
But it also has other connotationS
which deserve consideration at the
present moment.
What the future of free society may
be will depend upon the outcome of
the prevailing conflict in Europe and
the Orient Every thoughtful person
realizes that the character of life is
changing under the influence of the
most compelling emergency the world
ever has known. Millions aspire to
an improvement of the elemental
conditions of human existence. They
are familiar with the tremendous
gains achieved since the beginning of
the twentieth century. All the more
reason, then, have they for believing
that many problems which now puz-
zle them may be solved in the years
to come. The driving power repre-
sented by the axiom necessity is
the mother of invention" is an .au-
thentic creative force, as they re-
gard it.
But the public also is aware that a
fundamental alteration has occurred
in the universal field of science
within the experience of living gen.
erations. Research, once pursued in
isolation, has been socialized to a
notable extent. The lone investi.

tions. The fortunate peoples of the
world by reason of their favored position
have enjoyed advantages and opportuni-
ties denied to the less fortunate. They
have neglected their day of opportunity,
they have failed to be consistently
thankful, as well as considerate OF their
less privileged fellows. Now they are
faced with conditions so grave that
they are filled with alarm. The host of
the good things OF life, the generous, ever
kindly host, is saying in this parable:
If these favored ones will not share
my hospitality and the responsibilities
that go with it, then l will go to those
who are more responsive more recep-
tive, and they shall be my beneficiaries."
There are no accepted alibis for neg
lected opportunities. 1t has been uni
versally true that the less-fayored, for
gotten people of the world have recog-
nlzed more readily the word of life
which the Master Of men gives than
those whose self-dependence and self
assurance make them unresponsive to
HIS call. A new day has come or will
come presently to the world. It will
be day OF stern and righteous judg-
ment for those whose privileged lives
render them cold and Indifferent to the
way of life set forth by Jesus Christ.
1t will be day when a finer. nobler,
more consistent expression of Christian
democracy will prevail 1t will be a day
when there will be less of discrimina-
ton as to who is worthy and who un-
worthy. The common people heard
Him gladly so it is written; they will
hear Him gladly again. And why? Be-
cause His is a way Of life that contem-
plates equity and justice, and healthful,
happy living conditions for all men
everywhere. True, this way Of life. as
Chesterton says. has been found diff
cult and not tried" but a solution for
the maladies and ills of the world must
be found, and found speedily. Every
thing else that man has devised has
been tried and found wanting. The
Host of the Great Supper waits for His
guests. Who shall be found worthy to
share His gracious hospitality? His high
conception OF life. that is equitable sat-
lsfying, compensating, and the rightful
privilege of all?

PRIVILEGED AND UNDERPRIVILEGED
By the Right Reu James E. Freeman D. d. ILL., d. D. c. L.,
Bishop OF Washington.

The peoples of the world largely may
be divided into two groups or classes,
the privileged and the underprivileged.
We have been advised that here in
America 40 per cent of our people
live below an adequate subsistence level.
If that be true in such favored coun-
try as this, conditions in other lands
must be infinitely worse
To such a statement the careless and
selfish observer responds: Such condi-
tions always have existed and probab
always will but should they? Did
Christ in His teaching contemplate
different situation? He certainly did and
the tragedy of the present world up
heaval and disorder is solemn warn
indifferent as well as the consistently
thoughtful and generous, that better
and more equitable conditions must OBJ
tain before order and peace can be re-
stored.
In Christ's parable of the great sup
per" He spoke of certain man. who
made great supper, and bade many"
He then describes the apathy and un-
responsiveness of the privileged ones and
their cold and negative consideration of
his invitation. Failing in the favored
few and discovering their willful neglect
of his call, and being angry, he said to
his servants: Go out quickly into the
streets and lanes of the city. and bring
hither the poor, and the halt and the
blind If the favored and privileged
ones will not come, if they will not
recognize the day of their opportunity,
then the less favored will Jesus final
statement as He tells the story is: None
of those men which were hidden shall
taste of my supper"
The teaching of Christ, and indeed
His whole attitude presents philosophy
of life broadly inclusive of all sorts and
conditions of men. His sternest con-
demnation was of those whose privileged
lives made them more responsible than
those who were less fortunate. Unto
whomsoever much is given, of him shall
much be required" He said in another
place.
There is deep and subtle meaning in
this parable of the great supper, and
it is pertinent to modern world condi-
