This Week IN Religion
and Thought
The Common Defense
BY ROBT. L. MOODY

The Common Defense
Our National Congress and
State Legislatures have opened
sessions. The issues to be dis
cussed and settled are of the
greatest importance in our hist
ory.
Someone has properly said that
'The four binding forces in the
world are: A common work, A
common hope, Deliverance from
A common peril and Loyalty to a
common friend"
To realize the truth of the above
statement and to help to fulfill its
message is our individual respon-
sibility for National defense. We
believe democracy is the best sys-
tenn of government. It is being
attacked by a common peril. Our
hope is for it's survival, so our
common work is to promote it and
remain loyal to its principles.
Those who do not perform mill
tary or industrial service can help
democracy by understanding its
aims and advantages. We a ex-
plain these aims and advantages
to others and cause them to feel
to know and to be willing to de
fend freedom and our inalienable
rights which we receive only in a
democracy.

The condition of Deat, Lavaps aide, was more critical.
 A bullet which lodged at the base of his thorax caused severe hern- morhages.
 Deat took 8 sharp turn for the worse this morning. It was learned that the bullet perforated his stom- ach and intestineS and surgeons per- formed an emergency abdominal operation daparotomy) at the Ver- sailles Civil hospital.
 Two others shot by the assassin Paul Collette, % at the formal mobilization at the Borgnois-D -Des- bordes barracks at Versailles, out side Paris, of the French Legion" formed to fight Russia, received only minor arm wounds.
 They are one Colonel Duroy, . Legion leader, and a Legionnaire named Desset.
 Minister of Interior Pierre Pu- lcheu and Fernand De Brinon, chief Vichy envoy to German authorities, aided police in night-long quest iening of Collette in intervals be- tween their visits to Laval.
 Both charged that Collette had been the tool of mysterious plotters who sought to foments insurrection among the French people against the Vichy government and the Ger mans.
 Shortly before midnight surgeons announced that they believed Laval out of danger. They thought there would be chance of complications for several days and said he would be watched closely.
 l Laval Hit Three Times
 Laval was wounded three times. One bullet grazed his right arm. A second penetrated his arm. A third entered his right side above the liver and was embedded about one inch beneath the heart. After a 4O-minute emergency operation last night, surgeons decided to leave that bullet in Laval for the time being.
 Count Rene De Chambrun, La- val's son in law, told the United Press by telephone from Layal's hospital that Laval's wound was very similar to that which 'Tiger' Georges Clemenceau, victory pre- mier of the World War, received during the 1919 peace conference when Emile Cotin shot him. Clenl- enceau was then 7B and recovered.
 Laval never lost consciousness holding his side, he walked to an automobile. On his way he saw an gry members of the Legion" drag Collette from under 6 porch where he had sought refuge.
 'Kill himl Kin himl" the Legion naires shouted. Laval called tc them: Don't kill himl"
 At the hospital Laval at once telephoned his wife, at his Chatel- don Castle near Vichy, assured hel he was all right, and ordered mo- tor car to take her and then daughter, the Countess Jose Ds Chambrlin, to Paris. They Jeff shortly after midnight, driving al night to reach Laval's bedside at breakfast time.
 Under questioning, the assassin told French police that he went ts Versailles to answer the mobilixa' ton order for the Legionnaires. HG had joined the Legion and, it va announced, he went to the mobillz' atlon to shoot any prominent col laborationist he might see. Fl selected Laval and peat, who wer' thsHa.

(Contlnued from Page O defenders in bitter hand-to-hand fighting.
 The laconic proceeding accord- to plan' from the high command followed claims in other quarters that German troops were making new threats against Leningradj Russia's second city, after having cut the main L,eningrad-Moscow railroad. This gain in the north followed German successes in the south where the lower Dnieper river was reported to have been crossed.
 The high command said that on the Finnish front German and Finnish troops operating east of Salla had destroyed Russian forces in the strength of two division after several days of fighting under most difficult conditions of weather and terrain.
 sSalla is norh of the waist" of Finland and in that area Russian forces have been fighting oil a Finnish German thrust in the di- rection of the Leningrad- -Murmansk railway.
 Although the high command made no specific claims regarding areas of operations except east of Salia, it was believed that the most in- portant fighting ragged south of Leningrad, east of Velikie Luki on the central front and in the great Dnieper river bend in the south. Considerable interest centered og, claims not yet confirmed by the high command that the main Len- ingrad- Moscow railroad has been cut.
