ARMY CHAPLAIN
LAUDS SOLDIERS
Rev. Neil Doyle Claims
Boys in Service Develop
Spiritual Consciousness

First Lieut.. Neil j. Doyle; Catholic
chaplain Of the 169th infantry, In q
sermon at the II o'clock Mass at the
Church Of the Blessed Sacrament
declared yesterday that a great
spiritual consciousness has lately
developed among soldiers in Amer
ica's fighting forces.
Lieut.. Doyle said that when large
scale mobilization began about a
year ago, materialistic attitudes
prevailed among young men in the
army. The past years training, how
ever, has dissipated the philosophy
Of selfishness, and has cen an
awakening of religious awareness.
The speaker, who was a curate in
the Blessed Sacrament parish prior
TO his enlistment in the army chap
lain corps last March, has been en-
Joying a brief furlough. He will re-
turn to his unit, which is composed
of Hartford county troops of the
former Connecticut National Guard
Civilians, as well as soldiers, must
prepare to make sacrifices, Lieut.
Doyle said. They must be more than
nominally religious, and must forti-
fy themselves spiritually for the
material hardship they will be con-
fronted with.
Lieut.. Doyle was the guest of Rev
Edward l.. Morrison, pastor, and his
former fellow-curates, Rev. Francis
j. Barrett and Rev. Robert Chap-
non.

CUENTHER SAYS
GOD TO RETURN
Evangelist Tells Elton
Listeners German Dicta=
tor Doomed to Fail

Carl Guenther, evangelist and BIZ
Bile lecturer, told a large and appre-
ciative audience at the Hotel Ell
ton ballroom last evening, that Jesus
Christ will take over the govern
ment of the great temporal king
dom of God when he comes the Sec
ond time.
Music was furnished by trum-
pet quartet and Floyd Smith, an
other evangelist, conducted the
singing. Next Sunday night another
meeting is scheduled at 7:30 O'Clock
when the topic will be THE Sec
ond Coming OF Christ.
The speaker cited a number of
attempts which were made in the
past to reunite the broken frag-
ments of the old Roman empire,
each of which ended in failure.
Among the men mentioned who
aimed at world mastery was Ma
poleon Bonaparte, whose ambition.
he said, was to sit on the throne
of the Caesars.
To-day" said Mr.. Guenther,"
another dictator, like Napoleon, a
corporal, and like Napoleon, man
who has reshaped the map of Eu-
rope, is engaged in a great war,
and If the ambition Of Napoleon is
also his, he too is doomed to fail"
Four words of the Bible were
held to be stronger than all the
armies of the world, and to pre-
vent the establishment of another
world empire on the soil of Ed
rope. These words of Daniel are:
They shall not cleaHe," the speak,
err asserted.

GERMANY OWNS
PLENTY MINERALS
Ample Supplies OF Lead,

erals to Fight Long War

Washington, Jan. 19.-(UP)-Gcr-
many "is surprisingly well supplied
with minerals for essential military
needs" according to the interior de-
partment's bureau OF mines.
A report to Secretary OF Interior
Harold l.. Ickes, prepared by foreign
minerals expert Charles Will Wright
of the bureau of mines, said Ger
many is assured ample supplies OF
lead, zinc and mercury for all essen
tial needs.
Enormous resources of iron ore,
manganese and coal are controlled
by the Nazis, Wright found re-
sources capable OF supporting an
iron and steel industry which can
compete with. that OF Great Britain
and the United States.
Germany also has available large
reserves of regimented labor. and II
she Is successful In controlling the
areas now occupied and IN reorgan-
izing industry and transportation to
meet military requirements, she
should be able TO wage war efiec-
lively for some time" he report said
Germany was out-producing the
United States, Great Britain and
Canada up to 194l in aluminium and
magnesium, the report said, but 1t
Is believed that the combined alu-
minum output Of the three allied
countries now exceeds that OF Ger
man dominated nations. The allied
production was expected to be near
ly doubled by the end Of this year.
Germany lacks copper, tin. tung-
stem, nickel and petroleum but these
deficiencies have been made up In
part by substitution, reclamation
stock piling and increased produce
on mostly from submarginal de-
.,osits," the report noted.
There Is no immediate prospect
Of collapse OF the military machine
because OF shortages of any OF these
materials" 1t said.

LABOR PEACE IS
BRIGHTER TODAY
American Federation of
Labor, Clio May at Last
Shake Hands

Washington, January 10. - CUP
- The prospects for the long sought
labor peace were brighter today
than at any time since the Congress
OF Industrial Organizations Ameri-
can Federation of Labor negotiations
broke off in April, 1899.
1t was believed here that the peace
conference would resume this week
looking toward fulfillment OF
former CLIO President John L. Lewis
request for merger of the two
factions. Lewis called for a re-
sumption Of efforts to end the labor
war last Saturday. AFTl President
William Green accepted Immediately.
Clio President Philip Murray has
not commented but is expected to
go along with Lewis plan.
Meanwhile, informal speculation
centered ON the possibility of
George Meany, AFI secretary-treas-
urer becoming the head of an
united labor movement. He has been
in ascendancy In the AFL and, more
than any other AFL official has
been able to work with the CLIO.
There was no indication yet what
conditions the two factions would
place, If any, on union. 1t was
recalled that during previous peace
talks Lewis insisted that Green re-
tire. Green always has insisted that
any united labor peace movement
must be made on the basis of CLIO
unions returning to the AFvL.
Neither Green nor Lewis were
available over the weekend for
comments on reports that Green
would retire from the AFL to make
labor peace possible, and that
Meany would become president OF
the United organization, Murray,
secretary treasurer, and Lewis a
vice. president.
The Lewis announcement was
cheering news to labor leaders here
who have felt for long time that
the only basis for satisfactory set
Element OF labor problems confront
ing the war production program
would be settlement OF the ALL
Clio dispute.
Chairman Ebert d. Thomas
Democrat, Utah, OF the Senate La
Dor Committee, believed that the
ice has been broken" and that
now there was no reasor "'ly
understanding could not be
reached.
