the same time it might be characteristic lie

able, to keep up the good work they have been
doing by torpedoing the ships and bombing
the forces aboard the transports and the
bases they will seek to establish.
There is nothing particularly serious in the
present Aleutiaa situation, nor will there be-
unless the Japanese are able to occupy more
of the archipelago with greater forces a n d
larger air flotillas. It would be to the United
Nations advantage, naturally to clear .b.+
whole area of enemy craft and troops if onlv
to clear the way for support of the Russians
should Japan strike north into Siberia. But
if this is not feasible at present, because of
the stern realities Of the war in Russia and
North Africa, it will still prevent the far
northern Pacific from becoming major
menace if we continue to prey on such forces
as Japan sends there.
If Japan sees fit to call its shots by adver.
tising conveys, this undertaking will be the
easier.

ice-nothing, but this one thing, an
humble and contrite heart"
The distinctive meaning of con-
triton is sense of unworthiness
and penitence for sin; and humility
is the right attitude toward God
and others. The true sense of de-
pendence on God for everything
and the proper sense of depend
ence on others, especially Gods S
people. The absence of all egotism
and assumptic'' of superiority.
Jesus was the one transcendent
perfect character who ever lived
in human flesh, the embodiment of
wisdom and power and love. He

the lives of such ones. And Christ
and Paul were making more n d
more plain this foundation truth.
Ihls truth is vividly repeated in
Isaiah 6:1-2, '1Thus saith the

Alexandria Lures Riches
AS Egypt's Greatest City

Alexandria, the German objec.
tive in the north African drive, is
a thoroughly modern city of near
ly 100000 inhabitants, says the Ma
tional Geographic Society. 1t Is
Egypt's principal port, on the Med
iterranean coast at the west edge
of the Nile delta.
The city is today playing a majo.
and prosperous role in the war,
as it did in the first World War,
when an army of half million.
whose upkeep cost 100000 day.
was supplied largely from Egypt S
granaries.
In addition to being marked by
vast supplies passing in and out
of the port, Alexandria is the pop
ular area for the British Nav7
in the eastern Mediterranean, as
well as for land troops stationed
near by. The cosmopolitan throng
of Alexandria,, too complex for
analysis, is today colored by the
uniforms of all United Nations, ana
the costumes of hundreds of refu-
gees from invaded European coun
tries.
Already well provided with res
taurants, motion-picture houses
and open-air theaters, Alexandria
is spaWc.ng new cafes and bars
over night. Mohamed Ally and Kur-
saal may be strange names for Gin
ema ,theaters to English-speaking
soldiers, but they are crowded
nightly along with those more COM
monty named Rialto, Savoy, Majes-
tic, and Royal.
Like the popular French Riviera
OF the first World War. Alexandria
has the advantage of being a sea-
side resort and the summer capita.
of Egypt in normal times. 1t has
a dozen modem hotels that mea-
sure up to European standards, in
addition to many pensions wher a
lodging is available at less cost.
Alexandria's spacious boulevard,
winding for miles along the sea-
coast, is faced by modern build
ings, homes of wealthy tradesmen,
and modernistic apartment houses.
The bathing beach in peace-time is
the resort of the wealthy families
