HUNG UP
HARPS
BY Rev. c. M. Griffeth
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Md.

Like the captured Hebrews, by
the rivers of Babylon distant ages
ago, a great many Christians have
hung up their harps in the willow
trees of encouragement.
Having been dragged from their
homes, driven across the burning
desert, and forced to settle in the
hostile land of Babylon, life held
for those Hebrews nothing but
homesickness, toll, and heartache.
And the future? Well, there was
none.
Hope had faded from their sky.
Music became merely noise. Songs
died on their lips. There was no
further use for harps. Those who
did not, out of sheer dependency,
toss them into the river, hung them
in the dropping branches of the will
lows, trees which by their weeping
branches seemed expressive of the
sad hopelessness which they felt.
A hung up harp is a sign of de-
feat
Surely this is no symbol of the

Although he may experience the

MOUNTED MARINES STILL
ACTIVE AT NAVAL POSTS

Horse Marines, whose adventures
have been told in song and story
since the days of the imaginary
Captain Jinks who fed his horse
on corn and beans" still take to
the saddle.
Some of them are on duty at
naval ammunition depots at Hing
ham, Mass, Hawthorne, New, the
Hawaiian Islands and elsewhere,
while another group will soon pa
troll the new ammunition depot in
Martin County, Ind.
Horses are used by the marines
for patrol and guard duties at GER
tain locations because of the top
ography of the land or the wide
areas to be covered. As a rule only
small groups of these so-called
horse marines" are so employed.

also announced that to bolster anti

will be assigned to every Army
large unit to work out methods of
defeating armored force attacks.
Air
OPM announced that during June
1,476 military planes were deliver
ed to the Army, Navy, and Great
Britain-142 more than the pre-
vious month and new record. The
War Department announced con-
tracts of nearly S200,000,000 for
new airplane manufacturing facil-
tiles and ordered all Air Corps Re-
serve officers except those in key
civilian positions to active duty by
August /. The Army Air Force
established its own Air Staff to
form Air Force plans and decide on

out the approval of the General

This Week
In Defense

President Roosevelt informed
Congress he had ordered a Navy
force to Iceland to 'forestan any
pincers movement. by Germany
against the Western Hemisphere.
He said German occupation OF that
country would threaten the North
American continent, shipping IN
the North Atlantic, and the flow OF
munitions to Britain. The Presi-
dent said the Navy had been order
ed to take "all necessary steps" to
insure safety of communications
''in the approaches between Ice
land and the United States, as well
as on the seas between the U. s.
and all other strategic outposts."
The President later told his press
conference that whether Iceland
lies outside the Western Hemis-
phere is an academic question. He
said there are points outside the
commonly accepted Hemisphere
limits which are of Importance to
u. S. defense, and that in occupy
ing Iceland he acted to forestal a
hostile move which strategists con-
sidered logical or likely.
Selective Service
Selelctive Service Headquarters
announced that 21-year-olds who
registered July 1 will be given
draft numbers so they will be call
ed in proportion to previous reg
istrants rather than ahead of or
after older men. Order numbers
will be determined by national lot
terry on July IL.
Headquarters advised loc
boards to defer men who have vol
unteered for civilian or military
duty with Canadian or British fore
es. The House passed legislation
to permit deferment of all men who
were % on July /.
Alien Education
The President allocated S14, ,0O0,-
900 of WPA funds for a program
to educate 100000 aliens in the
duties and responsibilities of cit
izenship. More than 11,000 teach
ers on WPA rolls will conduct
classes for aliens who wish to be-
come citizens.
Registered Civilian Organizations
WPA announced that more than
100000 national, State and local
civilian organizations with 50,0O0,-
600 members will be catalogued

inc the parts the organizations and
individuals can play in home de-

social clubs will be indexed.
Civilian Supply
OPM conservation officials an
nounced that "our purchases, our
habits, our daily lives, perhaps even
our styles, will be controlled by the
requirements of national defense. !"
Some of the changes facing the
public, according to oPM: No corks
in bottle tops; beverages in bottles
rather than cans; silk used in par
achutes will make silk stockings
more scarce; women will have few
er permanent waves, cosmetics,
and facial creams; it will not be
patriotic to buy two automobiles;
farmers will choose from 300 in
stead of 1,400 types of plows
chrome, copper, aluminium and
woods such as mahogany will prob
ably not be available to the furni-
ture industry, and many designs
will be eliminated.

The Federal Bituminous Coal
Consumers Counsel appealed to
the nation to buy coal now so it

fore growing defense production

ton system. There is an ample
