mentioned no country specifically
what he said strongly suggested that
ne believed the time of crisis had
arrived, and that the war was in or
very near its last great act.
Woe to those who in this terrible
moment do not reach full aware
ness of their responsibility for the
fate OF the peoples, who feed
hatreds and conflict among them,
who build their power upon in
justice, who oppress and torment
the unarmed and innocent. You will
see that the wrath of God will be
with them until the end," the pontif
said at one point.
The holy father began with a
reference to "the terrible day which
saw the beginning of the war" and
recalled that a few days before hos
tilities opened he had told the lead
ers of the nations:
Not everything yet is lost"
"Our words" he went on, were
addressed to all peoples without any
exception. We are now speaking
words which will be of advantage to
all without exception"
After SO many promises, after so
many agreements which were not
respected, confidence among nations
has dwindled. That is why we are
addressing ourselves to all those
who are willing to cooperate for
peace he said.
The Pope blessed all those who
'also lend their ears" to mothers
bereft Of sons lost in war and those
who lend their ear to people
who have suffered so much and who
do not ask anything but peace
bread and work"
Leaders of the peoples should
lead nations toward reaching a lust
peace. Their moderation, Their
strength of will and of human feel
ing should give to the survivors OF
this conflict the hope that the pres
ent year will see the end of this con.
fiict and a new dawn of peace ovel
the world.
In this hope. in this faith we give
to all the peoples of the world oul

A proposed plan of reorganization
for the New York. Susquehanna &
Western Railroad, which would
slash its capitalization from more
than s38000,000 to s140O0.OOO, was
filed with the Interstate Commerce

The examiners recommendation
will be reviewed by the ICC before
issuance of final plan for the
railroad, which has been in reor-
ganization since June, 1887, under
section II of the Bankruptcy Act
The examiner, C. A. Bernhard,
found the equities of the holders of
the company's preferred and COM
mon stock to have no value.
Of the proposed $14,000.000 cap
italization, only $5,00O,000 would be
in fixedinterest bonds having an
nual interest requirements of $780,
600. The remainder of the capitali-

@. Why does not selective service
call single men between 3S and 45
years old before calling fathers?
A. The Army and Navy will not
accept men between 38 and As years
of age. While men between 18 and
45 are liable for military service I'M
der the law, acquisitions from the
armed forces at present specify men
between 18 and 38. However. the
percentage of men 38 years old and
over who are physically qualified for
military service is negligible while
the percentage of those who are fa-
theirs, or vino would be deferred in
vital war employment, is high.
Minimum Age Set by Law.
@. Why not lower the draft age to
II years old?
A. The minimum age for military
service under the Selective Service
Act is lS years, Only Congress can
change it.
Q. How are national calls for the
armed forces made and ailocated?
A. Each month selective service
receives from the War Department
and the Navy Department reouisi-
tons for definite number of men
to be inducted during a given month.
These acquisitions are usually re-
ceived approximately two months in
advance. The total of these requisi-
tionS for month is allocated by
Selective service national headquar-
terS to the various States on the
basis of the number of registrants
between 18 and 80 years of age who
are available for induction in each
State.
@, How are calls for inductees al
located in the individual States?
A. The selective service State
director allocates a monthly call
among the local boards of his State
on the same basis the ALLEGATION by
States is made Each local board
receives call proportioned on the
number of registrants it has avail
able for induction.
Volunteers Called First.
@. How does local board fill
call?
A. The local board first selects
and orders to report for induction
eligible men who have volunteered
for induction. The balance of the
call is filled by calling class IA
men from the following groups of
registrants. insofar as possible in
the order in which the groups are
listed and in accordance with the
sequence of each mans order num-
ber within his group:
l. Men with no dependents.
2. Men with collateral depend
ents, provided such status was ac-
quired prior to December s, 1941.
collateral dependents include de-
pendents other than wives or chill
dren)
3. Men who have wives only with
whom they maintain a bona fide
family relationship in their homes.
provided such status was acquired
before December 8. 1941, and in
cluding fathers of children born on
or after September IS, 1912.
4. Fathers of children born be-
fore September Is, 1912. who have
left an essential agricultural occu-
patton without permission Of their
local boards, or who are in monde

sense of honor"
He made no more specific mention
OF those countries now having i'll
fortune in the wars course, but
asserted "the minds and hearts of
the peoples" were filled with doubts
that continuation of conflict "can
be in accordance with national in
terest, reasonable and justified be-
fore Christian and human con-
science"
The Pope offered his prayers that
way would be opened to "the
hearts and decisions of those who
hold in their hands the fate of
afflicted humanity" and added
Blessed be those-to whatever
group of belligerents they may be-
long-Who cooperate so that
the deadlock wherein the fatal
balance of war and peace is now
kept in suspense may be overcome. .
Generosity in Making Peace.
Through the gigantic struggle the
exterior happenings of the war ap-
proach us and converge toward their
eliminating point" he continued.
Generosity in the making of peace
would have within itself the means
by which the generous could fully
protect their interests, the holy
father said.
Through the whole of his address
ran repeated admonitions to war
leaders to accept some spirit of COM
promise. He urged:
DO not disturb or impede the
desires of the peoples for peace by
actions which instead of encourag-
ing confidence rather inf1ame hatreds
anew and strengthen determination
to resist"
Pope Plus recalled efforts to halt
hostllities before they began and
suggested that his present words of
mediation-addressed especially to
AL those willing to cooperate for
peace ce"-would be to the advantage
of every belligerent, without excep-
ton.
The Pope took pains to stress his
concern not for any one nation, but
for the whole human family-to
those he saw as asking now for
nothing but peace, bread and
work"
He placed his special blessing on
those who understand the great
work of a real new order" appar-
emily an indirect thrust at Hitler's
new order" of passion and violence.
The Holy Fathers message to the
world came at an hour which found
Italy's war impulse" dead and gone,
as Prime Minister Churchill put it,
and Russian armies storming for

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Calling
Russia the keystone of the war"
Harry Hopkins, adviser to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, declared today
that "if we lose her, I do not be-
lieve for a moment that we will
lose the war, but l would change
my prediction about the time of
victory"
In a signed article I'VE Can Win
in 1945" appearing in the current
issue of the American Magazine,
Mr.. Hopkins said:
Russia, the keystone of the war.
is still fighting grimly. If we lose
her, do not believe for a moment
that We will lose the war, but I
would change my prediction about
the time of victory. Then, indeed
we would have long war ahead of
us. But we are on the offensive with
soldiers, sailors and marines trained
to the hilt and equipped as no army
or navy in history was ever equip
ped. We know how we'll they can
fight"
Mr.. Hopkins analyzed the mill
tary and industrial strength of
Japan and Germany and cited in
dividual cases of optimism for
quick victory.
We'll, in my opinion, we're not
going to have it," he wrote. The
German-Japanese portion of the
Axis isn't pushover.
Il believe two years of hard fight
ing on the fronts of the world and
two years of increasing sacrifice at
home lie ahead of us. Two years
at least. We must work harder, go
without more things, lose more and
more lives.
Il say all this with a deep con-
viction of our ultimate and in
evitable victory. Call me gloomy, if
you wish, but my optimism has
been unwavering from the beginning
and will not change until we have
won.
Considering all the realities of
this vast conf1it, I am really pre-
dieting a short war for us. Five
more years of it would make long
one, and we can have a long one
if we let down the war effort be-
cause of overconfidence."
