his victims with his eloquence or merely
lands them.
Fishing trips of the President are
always of delightful fellowship. We have
our breakfast as we please, and lunches
are served on the afterdeck, with the rods
within grasping distance in case of
strike. For dinner we go into the main
cabin, and this is perhaps the best period
of the day. There is the fishing to talk
about, there is no formality and one may
even outvoice the President of the United
States If he feels like it. There are
thrusts and counter -thrusts, and what
passes for wit, whether it is such or not.
Worst Sailor of the Lot.
Then, after dinner, which is provided
out of an ample larder that Admiral
McIntire has seen to, we bottom-fsh
or we can sit around the dining room
table and play cards, if that mood is
upon U.S. But the game of cards is the
sort where witty thrust or riposte is
more highly appreciated than the win
ming of hand.
Some of the party we're sturdy sailors.
although I suspect that none of them
enjoyed the really unpleasant pitching
we suffered for hours on end. Probably
the writer was the worst sailor of the
lot, although he did better on this oc-
casion than on some others. How
ever, do not forget that once, when
I was hurrying to my cabin to lie
unhappily prone, I glanced into the
quarters that PA" Watson shared with
Steve Early and discovered that PA"
had beaten me to it, 1t was some con-
ISOLATION to both of us that Harry
Hopkins had silently faded away before
either PA" or myself.
Slapped About by Gulf Stream.
The President never showed any signs
of NAL de mer, and neither did Admiral
McIntire nor Steve Early nor even At
torney General jackson, with whom I
shared cabin. However, could never
satisfy myself that Bob jackson had
any right to immunity. He did not
even seem to mind 1t when the water
was so rough the morning that he was
to take off in a seaplane to meet q
speaking engagement in Havana that
he could not venture the trip.
But whether we were good seamen
or indifferent ones, we all felt that the
people of the United States would ac-
tually resent it if they knew that their
President was being slapped about by
the Gulf Stream in a boat that is scarce
ly suited to the river whose name it
bears. To be sure, there was destroyer,
the Benson, fast and formidable and of
beautiful lines, that wet-nursed us. But
there were times when, even If the
necessity were great, neither the Benson
nor any of her boats could have reached
the Commander in Chief Of the Navy.

The Army is getting religion.

The Army is getting religion.
For one thing, it's putting up more
than $50 chapels, thus becoming the
biggest church builder in American his
tory.
When the buglers sound church call
on Sunday mornings in the pine woods,
the prairies, the mountains and the
sandy stretches by the sea-Wherever the
Army has post-there will be at least
one chapel where the soldiers can Wor-
ship. Some of the larger stations, like
Camp Blanding, Fla, and Camp Shelby,
Miss, will have as many as %.
The boys from Main street will find
them just like the typical small churches
Jack home-slant-roofed frame build
ings with a steeple at the front. There
will be seats for 400 and an electric
organ in the balcony.
Every Material Furnished.
A small army of chaplains is pouring
out of the Main street churches to fol-
low the young fellows of their congre-
cations into the field. There is no drive
to recruit chaplains. They are all VOL
unteers. Nearly 300 ministers. priests
and rabbis have been taken into the
service in the past year, making chap
lains' corps of almost 1000 AS the Army
grows one chaplain will be added for
each 1900 men. and there are plenty of
applicants to choose from.
The Government supplies them with
all the church materials they need
sacramental vessels, chalices, candles
and service books For the rabbis there
is an ark in each chapel to hold the
Jewish Book of the Law.
The Army and Navy are printing 150,-
900 new song and service books, unique
in that within one volume they contain
the order of services for Protestants,
Catholics and Jews. Between the bright
red covers one finds the hymns Il Love
to Tell the Story" Mother Dear, o Pray
for Me" and the "Sh'ma Yisroayl."
There's little group of folksongs at
the end, including God Bless America"
and winding up with Good Night
Ladies'
Less Attention Than Cooks.
All this religious activity is something
new for the Army. Out of l60 posts
which needed chapels year ago. only
II had them. In % years, only 1868 ,542
had been spent for chapels. Most of
the men had to worship in theaters, mess
halls, recreation halls, tents and in God S
open air. The present church building
program is costing s12,S168SO with s21,-
22O being spent on each ediflce.
The chief of chaplains, tall, broad
shouldered, two-fisted William r. Arnold,
can remember when chaplains got less

The Army Goes in for Church Building

Men who belong to churches who OBJ
serve the Sabbath on Saturday often are
given Sunday duty and a holiday on
Saturday. Jews who wish to be free
during the Passover exchange holidays
with Christians who want to be off duty
during the Christmas season.
Fortnight Circular Letters.
Chaplain Arnold carries on a greaa
volume of correspondence with the men
of his corps, advising, warning and en-
couraging them. Hes big, soldierly,
gray-haired man who could be called
patriarchal except that he has a broad
sense of humor, grin and twinkle
in his eye which would make that ad.
jective sound pompous.
Occasionally he sends out circular let
tiers to his officers, couched in the FORTH
right, inspiring language of an epistie
written by some early church father.
You speak to soldiers under arms
facing the might of worldly power and
spiritual evil" he wrote to his pastors
last Easter. The way of the cross and
some form of crucifxion are ahead for
all of us. BY word and example you
must show forth the living Christ who
SAYS. I am the resurrection and the life;
he that believeth in Me, although he be
dead shall live; and every one that
liveth and believeth in Me shall not die

War. More than so of them were deco
rated. The most famous was Father
Francis Patrick Duffy, who followed
New York's 69th National Guard Regi-
ment through its campaign in France.
Chaplains face the perils of duty on
the front lines unarmed. Under inter-
national law they are -combatants
and must not be harmed if they are
caught in battle.
But what would you do if an enemy
soldier should attack you?" this reporter
asked Chaplain Arnold. The crows feet
at the corners of his eyes Urinkled good
naturedly, but his square jaw settled
pugnaciously.
I'D fight back. If I saw fellow

to be able to talk to them about all
their activities. They must attend classes
on military tactics, map reading, mill
tary discipline, chemical warfare de-
fense and many other subjects. The
chaplains make grueling night marches,
camp out during maneuvers and stand
by on the drill field, the firing range
and the recreation halls.
Young chaps away from home for
the first time, many just out of ado
lescence and meeting some of lifes most
appalling problems and difficulties go
to the chaplains with troubles and wor-
ries that they couldn't take to their
commanding officers.
Pet Names for Chaplains.
In their tents at night, while up the
company streets guitars are playing and
radios are blaring and voices are shout
ing, the chaplains sit and hear the
questions of the young soldiers:
What can the boy do about that
serious trouble his home folks are fac
ing? Can the rabbi help him out of
the Jam he got himself into on that
borderland of temptation outside the
camp? How can the minister help him
reconcile the Fifth Commandment with
his learning to fire that machine gun on
the range today. pointing at a target
bearing the silhouette of a man?
The men give the chaplains pet names
when they like them-'padre" usually,
sometimes "hadje," an Oriental term for
little minister Sometimes the nick
names are more irreverent but always
respectfully and affectionately meant.
The padres baptize, marry and bury.
They visit the soldiers when they are
sick or in the guardhouse. They cor
respond with the boys parents and are
ceaselessly in contact with clergymen
and welfare and church groups in the
vicinity of the camps to give and receive
help.
Difficulties Easily Adjusted.
Their job is to minister to the needs
of all the men in their regiment, regard
less of creed. If the chaplain is a
Protestant minister and happens to be
the only clergyman in camp, for in
stance, it is part of his job to arrange
for Catholics and Jews under his charge
to attend services outside the camp if
they wish. or for clergymen of those
denominations to come to the post.
The conflicting rules and regulations
of the various creeds give the chaplains
endless work, but they report that those
difficulties are easily adjusted. Com
manding officers, they say, nearly al
ways find a way to meet such compli-
cations.

Four Essential
Human Freedoms

BY FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
In the future days, which we
seek TO make secure, we look for
ward to a world founded upon
four essential freedoms. -.
The first is freedom of speech
and expression.
The second is freedom of every
person to worship God in his own
way.
The third is freedom from want
which, translated into world
terms, means economic under
standings which will secure to
every nation healthy peacetime
life for it's inhabitants.
The fourth is freedom from
fear-which translated into world
terms, means a worldwide reduc-
ton of ornaments to such point
and in such a thorough fashion
that no nation will be in a posi-
ton to commit an act of physical
aggression against any neighbor.-
