here on out is not going to be costly and
fairly long Even the more optimistic
officials think that two years of war
lie ahead and that these years will be
a time of very hard fighting and Of very
large losses. If Germany, after all,
should make enough progress in Russia
to permit her to stabilize her lines and
turn west, and If the Russians should
accept q German defensive strategy
without trying themselves to take the
offensive, then the British and Ameri-
cans would face q pretty tough situa-
ton.
Even so, the British Isles are becom-
ing the center OF immense military
strength. They are an air base from
which Germany can be pounded un-
mercifully, once American airplane pro-
duction Is large enough to permit. They
also are base from which an invasion
into Europe can be carried out. Whether
the invasion or the air attack is to prove
decisive in the end is a matter OF cur
rent debate. Aviators think that bomb
ing can make an invasion little more
than an occupying operation. Army
men, however, think that land fighting
on an immense scale Is to be required to
get decision.
In either case there Is little oflcial
doubt about what the decision VIII b.

Fifty Years Ago
in The Stur

Fifty years ago the world was waiting
with sadness for the passing of Alfred
Lord Tennyson, poet
Death OF laureate of England.
Iord T.n,veo, The Star of October
4, 1892, quoted a dis
patch from London: "A bulletin issued
early this morning by Sir Andrew Clark
and the other physicians in attendance
upon Lord Tennyson at Aldworth, near
Haslemere, Surrey says that his
condition has become worse. His debility
is increasing" The next day The Star
said: Lord Tennyson's physicians report
that the poet is dying. He is passing
away quietly and slowly and may linger
for hours" A day later on Thursday,
october s, the great poet died peacefully.
The Star of that date gave an account of
the Death and resume of his life and
list Of his principal works. All the world
mourned his loss, in spite of the poets
own injunction to "let there be no NOAH
ing at the bar-when put out to sea-"

A little over a month before the elec-

inee, was roundly
Grover Cleveland cheered at his ap-
A--I,;n.1 pearance at a politi-
cal meeting in New
York. The account, printed in The Star
of october 4, 1892, explained: THE quad
renn'al convention of Democratic clubs,
held in the Academy of Music this morn
ing, though shorn of some of its con-
templated features, including the mon
SER street parade, was an enthusiastic
and successful gathering. -Four thousand
badges were issued to delegates repre-
senting every State in the Union.
Precisely at 1880 ex-President Cleveland
entered the hall at the left wing, escort
ed BY Chauncey F. Black, president of
the league, and William D. H. Washing
ton, chairman of the local committee.
The whole audience rose to receive them
and a chorus of cheers and college yells
was raised. to which both bands con-
tributed. Mr.. Cleveland stood for some
minutes until the enthusiasm subsidized,
and as he took his chair Three cheers

Military news from Europe was con-
flnec to the account Of a ong-distance
race between cavalry mounts
CovoIry of Austria and Germany, the
De-. German officers starting from
Berlin to Vienna at the same
moment that the Austrians started from
Vienna for Berlin. The Berlin objective
was the famous Templehof Field, so
named even then, long before any one
ever imagined that it was destined to be
Germany's principal airport, the head
quar- ters of powerful new force which
was to relegate the cavalry to almost
complete oblivion.

High School Victory Corps

The high school youth of the whole
country is to be given necessary
training for war service along lines
formulated in several high schools in
nearby Maryland during the past
year. Announcement of the organ
iZation of so-called High School Vic
tory Corps in cities, towns and
villages throughout the Nation has
been made by the Office of Education,
Federal Security Agency. The work
already being done at Montgomery
Blair High School, Silver Spring;
Sherwood High School, Sandy Spring,
and the Ellicott City High School has
been commended by Commissioner
John w. Studebaker as practical
model for imitation in similar educa-
tional institutions from coast to
coast.
1t is indicated by the Office of War
Information that there are no less
than $4,000 high schools in the
United States and that their enroll
ment approximates 100000 boys and
girls. The majority of the young
people now attending classes will be
expected to perform war service after
graduation and the earlier they begin
to prepare for that imperative en-
deavor the better it is likely to be for
them and for the national cause.
Meanwhile, they are summoned to
active participation in community
war effort while still in school.
The High School Victory Corps as
planned by national policy COM
nlittee, will aim at these desired
obiectives: Guidance of youth into
critical services and occupations;
wartime citizenship training to in
sure better understanding of the war,
its meaning, progress and problems;
physical fitness; voluntary military
drill for selected boys; competence
In science and mathematics; pre-
fight training in aeronautics for
those preparing for air service; pre-
induction training for critical occu-
Guiding training for essential civilian
activities, Every student enrolled in
secondary schools will be eligible to
Join the general membership of the
corps. Those within about two years
Of completing high school courses
will be eligible for admission to flve
different special service divisions,
namely: Land Service, for pre-induc-
ton training for all branches Of the
Army except the air; Air Service per
Sc; Sea Service, for training for all
branches of the Navy except the air;
Production Service, for training for
war industries and agriculture; Com
.Llunity Service, preparing for med
ical, nursing, teaching and numerous
other professions and for business
and civic services.

namely, architecture, music and the
pleasant companionship Of friends.
All these make their appeal but they
can hardly be submitted as logical rea-
sons for valid, satisfying and stimulat-
ing worship. Is the church primarily for
preaching or for worship? Both, assur-
edly, but as compelling and worthy
motive for church attendance the gifts
and personality OF the leader of worship
occupy the lesser place. Preaching is
very important and it will always hold
its essential place, but it must find the
ground for its inspiration and value in
worship, and through its leadership of
worship must it establish its unity and
comradeship with the people whom 1t
serves. THE art Of prayer" said gifted
clersymen, lis far greater than the art of
preaching" Addressing oneself to God
must call forth qualities that approxi-
mate genius. The books of devotion,
treasures of worship and the riches Of
liturgical expression are not numerous
when compared with volumes of notable
sermons, church history, etc. In an age
as critical and curious as this, the
church, like other institutions, is COM
PEELED to give reason for its being and
to justify its necessary place in the minds
OF men. The men and women of our
time are disillusioned, confused and fear
full OF what may be impending To them
the ministry of the church should give
rcfreshment, renewed and restored cour-
age. Will preaching alone do this? Must
not our churches be as reservoirs of
power, healing springs, places for the
rejuvenation of tired and discouraged
yes, and SHINING men and women? Is
not the beauty of holiness large con-
slderation and must it not be major and
not minor in any consistent and helpful
of1lce of corporate religious expression?
The disciples had to be taught to pray
and in response to their appeal to Christ,
He gave them the most perfect prayer
in the world-the Lords Prayer" The
leader of worship has never had greater
responsibility or greater privilege than
he has today, in both preaching and
worship. Happy and nightly effective
is he who is gifted in both, and happy
and privileged are the people who have
found in worship the renewal of their
tired spirits.

the High School Victory Corps has
been in theoretical If not really in
pragmatic effect for a long time. It
Is true, also, that inevitable difficult
ties will be encountered in the
changes in: procedure, methods,
equipment and personnel required
for conformity to the national emer-
gency program. But the adjustments
should be arranged for speedily and
cheerfully. The kind of victory the
American people intend to win will
be achieved more quickly and more
conclusively by reason of the maxi
mum enlistment. Maryland deserves
congratulation for its pioneering
contribution. The educational au-
thorities of the District of Columbia
likewise have been responsive to the
demand apparent since Pearl Harbor.
Superintendent of Schools Frank w.
Ballou has said: "We already are do
ing most of the things stipulated by
the War Manpower Commission"

Member of the Associated press
Our Economic Car

The appointment of James F.
Byrnes to supervise the stabilization
of our national economy will be re-
c..ved with enthusiasm throughout
Tie country
To qualify for the post of director
of economic stabilization, the former
Senator from South Carolina has
resigned as an associate justice of
the Supreme Court. That is a very
great personal sacrifice for him to
make. He is giving up a position
which not only affords security and
independence, but which also is re-
garded as the highest honor that
can be bestowed upon lawyer. And
he is giving it up to accept a post
which, with all it's great Importance
to the Nation, is certain to bring dark
hours OF concern and anxiety to the
man upon whom this tremendous
responsibility will rest.
Yet the very fact that acceptance
of the appointment involves a real
personal sacrifice should be helpful
to Mr.. Byrnes as he assumes his new
duties. There is an undeniable
virtue in good example, and the peo-
pie, understanding what Mr. Byrnes
has given up in order to serve his
country will be all the more ready
to accept the sacrifices that will be
called for from them.
Further than this, Mr.. Byrnes en-
toys the confidence and respect of
Congress and of the President. His
own struggle to the top has been a
hard one, and he is familiar with
the problems of people in all walks
of life. When to these assets there
Is added his legal training, both at
the bar and on the bench, there can
be no doubt that he is exceptionally
we'll equipped in experience and
temperament to exercise the vast
discretionary powers which have
been conferred upon him.
In an undertaking of this kind,
success on failure will turn largely
upon the caliber of the administra-
tor. Because of this fact, the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Byrnes as the
Nations economic czar is an admi-
rable one.

WORSHIP AND PREACHING
By the Right Rer JAMES E. FREEMAN D. D., ILL., d. D. c. L.
Bishop OF Washington.

Our conceptions of the worthwhileness
or purpose of what some one call meet
ing house religion" differ widely. As a
matter of fact it is upon right under
standing of what constitutes the purpose
of corporate or church worship that
many if not most of the divisions have
occurred in the history of the church.
These divisions are as evident today as
they were in former generations. They
express themselves In forms and rituals,
some simple and devoid Of any ordered
or prescribed method, conditioned only
by the gifts or lack of them of the one
who conducts worship; others the out
growth of long continued practices,
carefully designed and reverently con-
ceived Offices, IN which the minister Is
largely restricted and where sequence
and definiteness Of form determine the
conduct of the service. In the latter,
precision, dignity. and orderly and pro-
gressive ritual, the result Of centuries
of what is called "liturgical enrichment"
forms seem stilted, lacking in spontanie-
ty, cold and unappealing. Read prayers
and off1ces of devotion to them lack
warmth, they say; facetiously others
argue that, they suggest too often, the
reading of the minutes of former meet
ings"
In large part these views trace back
to what may be regarded as the function
of the ministry, where stress is laid upon
the leadership rather than upon the pur-
pose of worship. The gifts or lack of
them in the preacher make or unmake
corporate or church worship appealing
or unappealing. The emphasis here is
not SO much upon orderly or congrega-
tional worship as upon the capacity of
its leader to give it right expression,
hence it is about the gifts and eloquence
Of preaching rather than about the true
purpose of worship that opinion centers.
Where do you 60 to church?" is a ques-
ton frequently asked, to which the in
evitable answer is: Il 60 to DR.. Does
church, because he is such gifted and
interesting preacher" Personality, the
personality of the leader, is the deter
mining factor. There are other elements,
obviously, that enter into conceptions of
the church and corporate worship;

against wastage. The ALLEGATION Of
supplies is designed to equalize dis
tribution in a manner that not only
will prevent peaks and valleys Of
surplus and shortage, but also will
make certain that one section will
not profit at the expense of an
other. The pooling of terminal
facilities is an indispensable corol-
larry of such an arrangement. The
use of trucks and barges for the final
stage of distribution is equally i'm
portant, for this will release tank
cars for the long haul from the West,
and with this class of equipment at
a premium, it is essential that it be
employed to the best advantage.
Another feature of the plan is the
Standardization of all products
gasoline, kerosene, heating oil and
industrial oil. Trade names will be
preserved, but the manufacture will
be according to minimum specifica-
tions fixed by the co-ordinator.
The entire program, however, is
shaped along lines that do away with
competition-the Sherman Act not
withstanding, and leaders in the in
dustry are assisting in its formula
ton. In this connection Mr.. Ickes
comments that the public profits by
the duplication of effort and func-
tional ineff1ciency" usually associated
with competition'in the oil industry,
but that 1t is too costly for war, and
the public, consequently, must give up
these benefits. That monopoly tends
to abuse is indisputable, but when it
becomes necessary to ignore legal
restraints to gear an industry for
war, the question that naturally
arises is whether these restraints do
not go too far for the public good in
ordinary times.

dered Lieutenant Colonel Theodore p Bank
until few months ago the University of
Idahos head coach and athletic director.
Colonel Bank has converted what used to
be dull. routine training into sports -
sugar coated pellet, perhaps, but highly &C
ceptable to the competition-minded young
men we've called to fight Germans. Japs and
Italians The process was simple He made
contests out of such regular Army dutirs as
drilling. shelter tent pitching, mortar manipu-
lation and grenade-throwing. Prizes are pen
nants and other rotating awards Similarly. he
has turned the negotiation of the highly diff
hcult obstacle course into a competitive
sport"
The purpose of the obstacle course is to
train the soldier to overcome the surface
hindrances he would find in a front-line
advance. The course varies with the streams
embankments and other features of the camp
terrain. Its length is up to 400 yards.
Sometimes it's in woods. Always there's
high wall to scale, wide ditch to cross,
spiked fence to climb, a difficult barbed-
wire ENHANCEMENT to negotiate The walls
usually are eight feet high, sometimes nine.
and without footholds. The soldier must
Jump, grip the top and pull himself up no mere
lnsplre-an-appetite trife. The bitches are 10
or IL feet wide and frequently full of water.
Often rope hangs just out of reach. 50, to
cross, the soldier must run. leap, catch it and
swing. In advanced training everybody runs
the course fully equipped with rifles and
packs.
Field days are held at intervals by bat
tallons or larger units, and the backbone is
sports. Almost every form of contest has
place on the program. The familiar track
features wear entirely new dress. The soldier
