Mexlco's Military Goes Modern

MEXICO CITY. May 31.-Mexico is
endeavoring to put her army on modern
footing.
military man. Gen. Manuel Avila
Camacho, who rose to public prominence
as secretary of war for his work in build
ing the army, now sits in the President S
chair.
Avlla Camacho has included in his
program for Mexico the development of
a modern, well-equipped, highly y-trained
army. Observers say the program al
ready is bearing fruit.
Avila Camacho has on various occa-
sions emphasized that in accordance with
the principles of the Panama Conference
of American Nations, Mexico would
shoulder her share of the burden OF de-
Tending the Western Hemisphere.
Groundwork is being laid for COM
pulsory military training by whipping
into flrst-class condition Mexcos pres
ent army, numbering $1,000 officers and
men. There also are Agrarian reserves
OF about $1,000, mostly peasants.
In days gone by, the Mexican Army
was poorly-equipped, loosely organized
affair, whose soldiers sometimes had to
forage on the countryside and whose
uniforms were as varied as their imagins-
tions and resources.
Greatest military maneuvers in Mex
ico's history were concluded recently,
and observers said they demonstrated
the utility and the need in Mexican ter
rain of more motorized and mechanical
units.
While officials here maintained mill
tary silence, it is understood that an
extensive reorganization of the Air Corps
is being worked out by Gen. Roberto
Fierro. while army staff officials are max
ing an exhaustive study looking toward
the purchases of planes, mountain artil-
lery, tanks and other equipment in the
United States

Hitler is we'll aware of this. He is the
psychologist of surprise. He knows that
fatigued, ve-wracked and machine
ridden people may have no ready re-
sponse and no organized intelligent re-
sistance to sudden blows that come from
nowhere
Hess flight. analyzed from this angle,
can be classified as a surprise strategy,
and therefore as typical Hitler action
whether concocted by the master himself
or whether Hess as an extension of
Hitler's secret self, thought it out with
out consultation with Hitler (Which is
the probable alternative).
TIE head of the National Socialist
party-the very symbol of Nazi-ism, is
suddenly planted in the heart of the
enemys country!
1t is like symbolic, single-handed in
vasion by Nazi-ism, the long promised
threat fulfilled.
Who knows whether, in a moment of
Evening star., 1941-06-01

We have seen repeatedly that as soon
as the idea is brought to realization
Hitler loses his interest for this particu-
lar objective, and with it his interest in
the individual with whom it was
identified
We can expect Hitler to lose no time in
reading Hess out of his group.
Hess Not Lost.
Even so, Hess is not yet necessarily
completely lost to his leader The lab
oratory studies of surprise suggest wav
out. Individuals when faced with unex-
pected incidents react in one of two ways
They may meet the situation with f1exi-
bility or freeze to temporary rigidity.
A highly organized people may be i'll
equipped for meeting surprise tactics
They may react with immobility of
thought and action. Therefore, the most
dangerous weapon in the psychological
warfare is the surprise which spreads
confusion.

exaltation, just such a step may have
passed through Hitler's mind?
In any case, like classic Hitler sur
prise, it worked at first. That is, it
stunned and confused
But, like many other Hitlerian tricks.
it may in the end turn out to be lucky,
should the die of war be cast in Ger
many's favor and a few months from
now, the British Isles be near capitu-
lation.
The forgotten and rejected Hess may
still fulfill the mission with which he
went to Scotland The long memory Of
the master may yet turn back to his
adopted son in a concentration camp and
assign him the role he assured so i'm
pulsively, that of Hitler's ambassador of
peace.
Hess may prove simply to have arrived
in the middle of the third scene of the
fourth act instead of the last scene of the
fifth act.

Putting New Words Into the Bible

A group Of distinguished educators
has been meeting periodically for sew
eral years to revise the wording of the
Bible, translating it into modern-day
language.
Take, for example, passage from the
story of Joseph, Genesis 4o-l0 which
reads:
within yet three days shall Pharoah
lift uc thy head and restore thee into
thine Office"
They prefer it to go:
"On the third day Pharoah shall take
up your case and restore you"
So that's the way it probably will
appear in the next revised edition of
the American Standard Bible.
The educators-16 American and Cam
adian Bible and language experts-are
engaged in seven to eight-year project
of undermining and clarifying phraseol-
ogy in the American Standard Bible.
Members of the Old and New Testa-
ment sections of the American Standard
Bible Committee, they are carrying on
the work under the auspices of the
International Council of Religious Edu-
cation.
Explaining the cnange-one of several
hundred being made-Dr. william A.
Irwin, University of Chicago member
Of the committee, said:
Lift up a head is an old Hebrew
idiom meaning take up e case, or topic
New Possessive.
ITO continue the use Of an idiom
centuries in disuse would distort rather
than preserve, the original and true
meaning of the passage. Also, in pop
ular usage, the possessive pronoun thy
has been succeeded by your Thus the
alterations will make for clearer and
more faithful English presentation of
the original Hebrew passage"
The English Bible has undergone
many changes In the past 400 years,
each revision rejecting the efforts Of

Cavalry, military men say. always will
be a factor in the Mexican Army, be-
cause horsemen would be needed in
event OF attack to guard mountain passes
and to harass enemy groups on high
ways below.
Gen. Pablo Macias, now Secretary of
War, has given enthusiastic impetus to
Avila Camacho's program for the army.
The government has increased the
army budget. In 1910 it was 10000 900
pesos about s19,200,00O) and in 194l,
100000 pesos (about $4,000 OOO)
year.
One feature of the army reorganiza-
ton program has been additional en-
phasis on younger officer personnel and
retirement for age of number of gen.
erals. Years ago Mexicans joked each
other about the number of generals in
the army. While the war department
has not announced the number retired,
it is understood that now the number
Of generals is approximately 300.
A foreign observer at the recent ma
neuvers said: II would hate to lead an
invading army of equal strength against
Mexico's army The men are husky
healthy, well-trained, and what is more
important accustomed to hardy life in
the open. In addition, they are masters
of the art of guerilla warfare"
The terror of the oldtime Mexican
army-the soldadera, or soldiers woman
is to pass from the scene under the
modernization program, although there
has been no official announcement
about it.
In days gone BY and IL the countless
revolutions Mexico had early in the goth
century, the soldadera was a serious fac
tor for the enemy. 1t was the soldaderas

scholars to translate more accurately
the original languages.
The initial Bible of the Old Testament,
including Hebrew writings which COM
mittee members estimate date as far
back as 1000 B. c. was completed in
its present form roughly about 200 A. D.
The New Testament was written In
Greek during the first century of the
history of Christian civilization
Since then have come various English
translations of the originals and trans
lations of earlier Latin and Greek
translations.
In the light of advanced knowledge
Of the original tongues, the committee
now is endeavoring to present a truer
image of the first works.
Pointing out why modern scholars
believe they are more likely to attain
that goal than did their predecessors,
DR.. Irwin said:

out in 1901, never has been considered
entirely satisfactory. The meaning and

Military experts are high in their
praise of the Mexican-invented and
Mexican-made Mendoza light machine
gum which fires bullet slightly smaller
than 80 caliber. The Mexican Army
rifle, which fires the same ammunition,
likewise is praised. Both guns are manu-
factured in the Mexican armament plant.
Although there are hundreds of old

on hand, they go to the reserve units,
while the army is kept supplied with
new weapons. Equipment shines, horses

government plans to buy at least 100

High Speed Difficult.
Observers say high-speed planes are
difficult of use in Mexico because out
lying airports are small and the terrain
is mountainous, that the ideal Mexican
military plane is one which can be landed
at low speed in a small area and yet
which has sufficient power to elevate
the ceiling to clear mountain ranges tow
ering 10000 feet or more.
Likewise, Mexico uses little of the
regular field artillery because of the
undulating terrain. The preference has
been for mountain artillery which also
can be used for anti-aircraft work, and
howitzers which can toss shells over
nearby mountains or spread destruction
at close range.
Observers declare Mexico has made
remarkable strides in improving both
the quality and number of horses The

MOFFETT FIELD. Calf, May 81
Since March %, the day went into
the Army, have been sort of writing
down things that happened, so I wouldn't
forget them. AS matter of fact, l
don't think I would forget them any
way. I don't think anybody forgets
much of what happens to him in the
Army but I just want to make sure.
And then suppose this writing is the
ham coming out in me. I don't hsve

About that not forgetting anything
that happens in the Army-what mean
is-the Army is such complete change
from anything that's ever happened to
you that every little thing makes quite
an impression. That Saturday, March

Common Feeling.
In the first place, you have that sick
feeling, that pigeon with a wing of.
Tapping around in your stomach. You
have had it for about week. It's the
same feeling you have before a race or
before you play in a football game or

the same feeling have when I 60 to a

first day because I was a movie actor,
etc. But since then, I've talked to lot
of the guys that came in with me, and
they all had that same sick feeling, too.
BY the third day the feeling is all
gone-you don't have time to be sick.
The first thing you have to do is to work
into the Army routine I didn't have
any trouble getting up at 5:45. 1t was
getting into high gear after I was up
that had me jumping for while. When
was working in the movies got up
at $50 and then took about an hour to

Now, for anybody who is used to eating
very slowly, like myself the mess hall
presents problem too The Army mess
hall is for the purpose of eating and
nothing else-not for talking or thinking

you don't finish your food, and If you
don't finish your food you get put on

Defining "Gold Brick"
The work and drill are pretty hard
but don't let any one tell you it's too
hard. 1t isn't And you have plenty of
time to rest and relax.
OF course, you find much more time to
relax if you're gold brick" The gold
brick is quite an interesting phenomenon.
A gold brick has been defined as lazy
man, a man who refused to work Well
now, this isn't quite true. The gold brick
isn't necessarily lazy, nor does he refuse
to work. He merely fixes it so he isn't
assigned to the work in the first place.
Now don't get the idea that gold
bricking is criminal practice. It isn't
1t takes lot of scientific planning and
manipulation to be successful gold
brick. Lots of times the planning Is
much more work than the work which
is being gotten out Of, If you get what I
mean. You see, one Of the first things
you have to do to be gold brick is to
convince the top sergeant that you are
not gold brick-which is impossible.
But there is sort of respect for a good
seasoned gold brick in the Army, and
every soldier goes in for gold bricking
once in awhile-but most of them never
lose their amateur standing

who came in the draft and some who
enlisted for three years-and I've yet to
