Press in Paris Opens
Drive for Military
Pact With Axis
Great Activity at
GibroItor Reported
BY Enemy Rodios
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 2.-The German
controlled Paris press opened a cam
paign yesterday to bring France into
q military alliance with the Axis
and clear. the way for German aid
In the defense" Of the French
African Empire.
The Paris radio has made repeated
assertions that the Allies soon would
attack Dakar, strategic naval base
In West Africa. Numerous CONFER
ences have been held among Vichy
military chiefs and colonial admin
istrators on defense problems.
Yesterday the Axis radios re-
sounded with tales of great activity
at Gibraltar, presumably aimed at
Dakar, Casa blanca, Tunis or Algiers.
All these reports lacked confirma-
tion.
Although Axis-inspired reports
from Paris had claimed the British
were blockading Dakar, dispatches
from Vichy told of French ship
movements off the port, presumably
In prepara ton for evacuation.
simultaneously Vichy announced
decision to evacuate European
women and children from Dakar.
Nazis Control Civilians.
Meanwhile, a Tass dispatch from
Lisbon reported that the Vichy gov
ernment had consented ito German
control over all French airlines and
had granted Germany unrestricted
right to use equipment and airdrome
facilities on all lines"
The Tass broadcast, as heard by
BIC, added:
Representative of the German
command are authorized in cases OF
emergency to give the crews of
French planes special assignments,
and thus use of the airlines for civil
needs is virtually suspended"
United Nations passengers were
barred from French airliners Sep
tember 81. The principal Vichy
airline links Marseille with Oran,
Casablanca and Dakar. Military
and civil airfields also dot much of
Algeria and Tunis.
Madagascar Loss Cited.
The Paris press theme was that
the African empire could be saved
only with German aid. and cited
the recent loss OF Madagascar off
East Africa to the British.
Gen. Henri Jauneaud, French
commander in the Eastern Medi-
terranean before the armistice, was
quoted in the Paris press as saying
German aid was needed to fulfill the
armistice pledge that the Laval re-
gime maintain the empire intact.
The newspaper Petit Parisien took
a similar line.
The campaign was interpreted by
the Fighting French as a trial bal
loon to test French opinion about
allowing German and Italian troops
In the African colonies.

like Jacob before Bethel-Small and"
scared and sordid, We need to have
our eyes opened to Gods great pur-
poses for us, which are so much
better than our ambitions for our
selves.
Any event that can stab our
spirits wide awake is to be well
coined; and any seer who can help
us open our eyes. I have been stir
red by a great address made last
May by Hon. Francis B. Sayre of
Washington, high commissioner to
the Philippines: and I got from him
a promise to supply copy to any
body asking for it. The document
should be in the hands of every
preacher and Bible teacher. So
should the recent addresses of Vice
President Wallace and Under-Sec-
retary of State Welles; they are aids
to a vision of the new world.
The turning points in Jacobs life
were two. When a weary exile, he
had his vision of God at Bethel;
and later, when he wrestled with the

of Jacobs career. 1t Is possible for
even such a despicable character AS
the early Jacob to be changed into
a God-fearing, upright man. That
transformation is taking place all
through life, throughout the world.
Usually, it is the work of religion.
Every rescue mission can show rec
ords of these "twice-born men"
who have made good. Jacobs ex-
perience is no novelty in the realm
where men are brought face to face
with the living God
Herein lies our hope for a new
world. The mean men. the mar
tial-minded men, the visionless men
in all walks of life may have their
eyes opened to the supreme reality.
But only God can do this; no
power on earth is equal to such a
transformation. That is why an
awakened church should be bring
ing to bear upon the lives of men
all the power of her message. The
clear teaching Of the gospel, that
everybody may have personal deal
ings with God which will make over
his outlook and his character, is
supremely the truth for these times.
Let us all rear our Bethels.
Out Into the World.
These chapters of Genesis which
we are studying are full of drama.
Small wonder that countless writ
ers OF romance have drawn upon
them for their tales. The book is
aglow with what newspaper men
call human interest stories" :"
Jacobs vision came to him when
he made a young mans first fight
out into the big world. True, he
was running away from the brother
he had wronged; and carrying out
a scheme of his crafty mother. But
he took his aged fathers blessing
with him, as he Jared forth into
the unknown. And he was avowedly
in search of a wife.
On his journey he slept one night
on a height 10 miles north of Jer-
tsalem, still landmark. He had
little besides his staff with him
He was alone, with the earth for

slept the sleep of the weary foot
traveller, he had a celestial dream.
He saw great ladder stretched from
earth to heaven, with angels as
cending and descending. Above all
was Jehovah. who renewed to Jacob

that he, and his countless seed,
should one day possess the land.
Moreover, he was promised the
presence of God in his life.
When a Man Discovers God.
Great awe fell upon Jacob. He
was awaking to the supreme Spir-
itual reality. No higher hour ever
befallS a mortal than that in which
he becomes aware of God, as a fac
tor in his own life. The solemnitv
of the experience scared Jacob. and
he set about to memorialize it by
erecting a monument. Piled heaps
OF stone, of unknown significance.
are to be seen all over Arabia and
Syria, as I can testify.
Jacob took the stone on which his
head had rested while he was hav-
ing his memorable dream. and set
it up and anointed it: and called
the spot Bethel, which name it bears
to this day, meaning The house Of
God"
A tradition which British folk
love says the veritable stone was
later carried through several lands
to Scotland, and thence to England,
where it today rests on the seat of
the British throne.
To Jacob had come the promise
which is to be we'll pondered in
these days when the Jews have been
thrust into the forefront Of the
worlds problems--that I'm thee and
in thy seed shall all the families of
the earth be blessed" God blesses an
individual or a nation primarily in
order that 1t may be blessing. One
form Of examination for everv-
body is this same test: Am I A
blessing to the world, or a blight?
Are the lives that l touch happier
and nobler because of contact with
me?"
For the glorious future that we
dare envisage for the world is not
to come to pass by any mass move
ment OF international decree. 1t will
take the changed lives of men and
women. one by one. We cannot
have beautiful society made up of
