night attack in the early hours of
Saturday morning, plastering the
runway and the hangar area. and
had raided the airdrome in the Lac
area of New Guinea.
In their attack on Darwin yester-
day the Japanese evidently were
making a determined attempt to
knock out huge airdromes, possibly
in preparation for a more important
attack which might divert attention
from the United States naval and
marines attack in the southern Solo
mons.
I was understood that the Allied
/ fighters put into action for the
first time new interception tech
nique which proved deadly to the
enemy while it afforded the Allied
planes the maximum of protection.
CAME IN HIGH
The Japanese came in high, spe-
cial dispatches from Darwin said,
trying to avoid the anti-aircraft
fire which had caused them trouble
in previous raids.
The enemy planes were miles in
the air when the American Curtiss
planes dived on them.
The Zero fighter planes scattered
quickly to try to head off MacAr-
thurs planes but it was too late
One flight of the American planes
bagged all three fighters in one
of the enemy formations.
Then there was wild series oi
dcgfights miles over the Darwin
area. They lasted until long after

Growers PLANTING
Mid-Winter Crops

INLAND, Aug. 24-Ranchers in
this area already are planting to-
matoes for mid-winter harvest and
arrival of heavy shipments of pea
seed indicates that the mid winter
pea crop soon will be planted
The growers apparently are count
ing on getting labor to cultivate
and harvest their crops as present
developments indicate only a slight

BraziIians Crowd
Recruiting Depots
For War on Nazis
By DAVID J. WILSON

HIo LIE JANclItO, Aug. "a 'Of)
- Thousands jammed recruiting
offices today enlist in the fight
against the Axis.
Today was the first day since
Brazil declared war on Germany
and Italy Saturday that recruiting
offices were open Thousands more
were expected to be drafted.
Concentration camps swelled with
fifth columnists, spies, enemy
agents and Axis sympathizers, as
nationwide drive for intd.nal
enemies progressed. Hundreds of
Germans and Italians, finally
learning what it is to be refugees,
poured across the border into Uru-
quay, openly and secretly.
REFUGEE SSEIZED
But if they expected to find
sanctuary there, they were soon to
be disappointed. Uruguay, in COM
plete sympathy with Brazils stand.
announced it had full knowledge"
of the migration, and that all
would be arrested and turned over
to Brazilian authorities. Some al
ready were reported to have been
seized
Police in Maceio, Alagoas state,
arrested two Germans and two
Italians, and they were promptly
sentenced to forced labor at ma
laria prevention, meaning that they
would WELD picks and shovels in
drainage projects for the dura-
ton.
This was the first fulfillment of
President Getulio Vargas promise
that every Axis s"mpathizer and
agent arrested would spend the
war in hard labor deep in the in
terror. Axis agents were popularity,
perhaps officially, blamed for tip
ping off U-boats about the sailing
of at least 19 Brazilian ships that
had been sunk.

MOSCOW, Aug. "a (UP) - Ger
man tanks and motorized infantry
which have poured across the Don
river 40 miles west of Stalingrad
are driving for the Moscow-Stal-
ingrad railroad which parallels the
river 13 miles away, it was ad-
mitted today.
The railroad, under constant ar
tillery fire as we'll as heavy air.
plane bombing, is already virtual
ly useless, special dispatches ad-
mitted.
Motorized infantry crossed the
river in force yesterday, southeast
of Kletskaya where the Russians
had made a bitter stand, in the
wake of their tanks and started
the drive for the railroad.
CITY THREATENED
Now serious threat to Stain
grad was increased with the estab-
lishment of tank wedge north
east of Kotelnikovski, 90 miles
southwest of the Volga industrial
center.
ThruSting with terrific power,
the enemy tanks crossed blazing
plains to wedge into the outer rim
of the Russian defenses and threat
ened to bypass Stalingrad and
drive to the Volga from the south.
On both the Kletskaya and Ko-
telnikovski stretches of the front,
the Russians were exhorted by their
officers:
Hold at all cost. There is no
place for further retreat"
Attempting desperately to hold
an estimated 100000 Germans in
the drive, the Russians counter
attacked the enemy flank at every
opportunity in hone that the drive
be stopped.
ANOTHER RETREAT
The Russians, in their noon COM
munique, also acknowledged a new
retreat on one sector southeast of
Pyatigorsk in the north Caucasus
The German drive was aimed to-
ward the oil fields of Grozny, 140
miles east of Pyatigorsk, but it was
evident the Germans were closer
to Grozny than that.

AT A BRITISH PORT, Aug. "a
-(UP)-American, pilots, ground
crews, troops. nurses, planes, tanks,
guns and assorted equipment we're
distributed to United States army
depots throught the British Isles to-
day from the greatest Atlantic con-
voy of this war and one of the
greatest of all times.
The convoy was so big that it was
necessary to land it at several ports,
where special buses, trucks, trains
and even street cars we're waiting
to start the fighting men and the
army nurses to their destinations.
Men in the gigantic convoy came
from all parts of the United States.
POWERFUL ESCORT
They were escorted by a powerful
force of United States Navy ships.
On the American side, army planes
shepherded the convoy far out to
sea, and British planes picked it up
on this side.
Once during the voyage, the con-
voy veered sharply to a new course
when submarine activity was report
ed nearby. Soon after the convoy
left the United States there was
moment of excitement when a de-
stroyer dropped depth charges. But
a derelict merchantmen wreck had
been mistaken for submarine, and
the only result of the bombing was
that slick made up of lemon
extract, appeared on the surface.
At other times the warships, which
varied in number and size accord
ing to the danger of each particular
ocean zone, engaged in gun prac-
tice which kept the troops amused.
FAVORED VOYAGE
Perfect weather, a bright sun and
temperature unusually mild for the
route the convoy followed, favored
the voyage. The closely packed
troops spent much time in the fav-
orite army indoor sport of shooting
dice.
One doughboy who won $1,000 the
first two nights out hired two
others at SIS day as guards to shoe
off the losers who tried to get him
back in the game. The guards
erected rope barricades around his
little patch of the deck and he read
in peace the rest of the way.
Men of almost every branch of
the fighting services, including many
specially trained, in addition to the
army air force crews, we're in the
convoy.
FROM EVERYWHERE
Many thousands had been de-
tached from units of task forces
They had been thoroughly scramb
led at their camps in the United
States so that they came from every
part of the country.
AS the ships pulled into the Brit
ish ports the soldiers and scores
of blue uniformed army nurses
lined the rails.
The troops were in the finest
spirits and eagerly shouted their
desire to get a crack at Jerry any
time"
Many troops were disembarked at
night, in the deep blackout of the
coast. They wisecracked as they
stumbled ashore, and shouted:
so this is merrie England. Turn
on your lights and let's see your
faces"
Even IN the blackout crowds
gathered to cheer the troops. An
elderly man at one port cried re-
peatedly:
Good luck! God bless you, and a
safe return

Parallels by the Sea Reveal
Significance Of Gods Work

not merely a story of an
earthly father who was like our
Heavenly Father, but q story
that so accurately tells the ma
ture and significance of Gods
grace at every point that no
questio.. is left and no sense Of
discrepancy.
AS is often true of analogies
or al.egories, here in our lesson
in the parallels by the sea" we
have five parallels illustrating
the nature of the kingdom Of
heaven or different phases Of
that kingdom. Jesus likens it.
first of all, to seed which q man
casts upon the earth. But the
casting of the seed does not as
sure a crop; it is the power of
God in nature working with
man that brings growth and
makes possible the ultimate har-
vest. Could there be q finer
illustration than this, of the
farmer sowing his seed, sleep
ing and rising night and day.
while the process of growth goes
on through the forces of nature
working with him and produc-
ing harvest? It is an exact IL
lustration of how God works
with men, and of how men may
cooperate with God.
The parable of the mustard
seed illustrates what we so Of
ten see - the growth of great
and mighty things from small
beginnings. The mustard seed
was so small that "a grain Of
mustard seed" was q byword
at the time for something very
minute. The reference to this
seed, growing into something
greater than all the herbs" or
a tree, has puzzled scholars.

E0ltOr OF ADVANCE
One of the remarkable things
of literature, illustrated in the
history of practically all peoples,
is the persistency of truth when
il is expressed in tn form of
stories or parallels. Even where
such stories are not written, or
do not become written until a
later time, they persist from
age 10 age. The well-known
Fables of Aesop offer an exam
pie of moral teaching in story
form from secular literature.
and these have a point and
freshness for each new genera
ton of young folk.
But the great. incompatible
example is the parable of
Jesus, devoted not merely to
moral precepts or instructions
but to making plain and en-
phasizing the deepest spiritual
truth. Nor are the parallels of
Jesus mere analogies, or state
ments of resemblances. Anal
ogies are apt to fail at some
point and to become actually
misleading, but the stories of
Jesus were all selected and told
with a precision that made their
meaning accurate. Take, for in
stance, a parable like that of the
Prodigal Son. Here we have
