Getting Soldiers
To Become Actors
War Games Problem
Officers, Hope, However.
They Can Encourage
Men to Be Realistic
By the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
WITH THE ARMY IN TENNES-
SEE, June $50 far in this make
believe war Uncle Sans soldiers
have proved themselves much better
soldiers than actors, Army officers
said today.
Of course, soldering is what
counts, but encouraging them to be
realistic in the war games here is
one of the major problems in judg-
ing what the troops can 90 in actual
combat.
Its the hardest thing in the
world to get the men to act at all
times as If they were lodging enemy
bullets" declared Maj. Gen. Frederic
H. Smith, 7th Army Corps COM
mander, who is directing two weeks
of the .month-long maneuvers in
Tennessee
This attitude among the trainees
Is being emphasized, he said. be-
cause the purpose of the training
is to teach them proper fighting
habits.
Sees Faults Overcome.
Although there were slipups in
the first two days of the Middle
tennessee war games that would
not happen in actual combat. Gen.
Smith said he believed these faults
would be eliminated as training
progressed.
For instance, when the mock-war
opened Tuesday, trucks moving into
battle lines parked one up against
another and in the open. Stiff re-
mlnders from commanders made the
drivers change their civilian habits
and spread the vehicles apart and
keep them hidden under trees.
Enemy observation planes, in real
war, could have spotted the trucks
in the open, making them easy
marks for bombers, the drivers were
told.
Point Is Stressed.
We're trying to get the men to
leave the paved highways and gravel
roads to do their fighting out in the
fields and in the woods as they would
do in actual war" one umpire said.
I'VE stressed the point in our first
problem"
A commander whose troops were
summing themselves in an open field
while enemy planes circled overhead
was reminded that such tactics were
not realistic. He quickly sent his
outfit to cover.
Bullets aie not being used, but
rifles and machine guns have fired
blanks freely to simulate noise and
confusion of real war. Later. blanks
fired by artillery weapons are ex-
pected to add more realism to the
scene.

counsels, the truth OF the old Scrip
ture, BE sure your sin will find you
out" Only incidentally does this
mean that ones sin will be found
out by the world, but it will find out
the sinner himself, and exact its
penalty in his own life.
1.-The sin we do, two by two,
We must pay for one by one"
Now we seas conspicuously in
the case of France-that faults in
the life breed errors in the brain"
We have gone wrong because we
have done wrong. The reasonable
indictment OF our time is that We
have tried to buck the eternal prin-
ciples made clear by God.
God hates sin. 1t is the antitheSis
of His nature. He who is ultimate
Authority may not be Knocked with
impunity. In His word, and in the
course of things open to all eyes,
To be carnally minded is death"
In preparing this lesson 1 have
looked up in the Bible Text Ency-
clopedia sll the scriptural references
to sin. Even I am surprised at what
I find. Current literature may ig-
more the subject of sin. but this
collection of passages from the Bible
covers page after page of fine type
10 pages in all. Whoever else may
make light of sin, the word of God
does not. From Moses to John the
Revelator, this theme runs through
the whole book, as the cause OF ma
tional and individual disaster.
What Is Sin?
Along the Lincoln highway In
tobacco growing Lancaster County
Pa, there is big sign, Brethren
it is sin to grow tobacco Thus
one well-meaning neighbor INDUCES
in the common practice of defining
his neighhor's sin. The same spirit
has put into many churches a list
of petty prescriptions, while ignor-
ing the essential doctrine of sin. As
defined by the Westminster divines
centuries ago, Sin is any want OF
conformity unto, or transgression OF
the law OF God.'
Everybody has doubtless had mo-
ments when he has wished that
there were no sin in the world, and
no possibility of SHINING. But that
would take away the discipline of
free choice. which is the sign of
human sonship to the Divine. Each
of US fears in his own breast the
dread possibility of awful sin, but
each of us also possesses the right
TO walk in such fellowship with the
Heavenly Father that sin will be
hateful and alien to us. In dark
days like the present, we are enam-
ored of the conception of world
wherein all men live by Christian
standards. in free and happy
brotherhood.
To understand the full significance
and Nervousness of sin We have but
to look upon the cross. and the
Savior thereon crucified for the sins
Of the world. Nobody can consider
Calvary and still think lightly of
sin. There we see the way out
for sinful world We have a God
who forgives sin. The only hope of
this warning world, and of n-sick
hearts everywhere, is the crucifed
Redeemer.
There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin;
He only could unlock the gate
OF Heaven and let us in"
