in the last war. With the stringent
reduction of the forces following
the armistlce, he turned to technical

He went to France. where he Joined
the International Brigade as a pri-

The brigade under his command
took part in some of the hardest
fighting of the war-the defense of

was badly declmated. 1t consisted
of three German battalions and one

for the most part, from exiles in
France, Norway and Sweden. Only
a handful, Col. Kahle says, actually
came from Germany.

to France. There they were kept
virtually in a concentration camp

Lesson for the Week
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS,

Of God, runs through the whole
Scripture. until 1t climaxes in the
explicit statement of the Revelation
that the liars ultimate destination is
hell. Stern words, but Scripture
A study OF the Bibles teachings
about lying will build up an abhor-
renee OF this sin which destroys the
very fabric of character and Of So
ciety.
It used to be that to call q man
q liar was to use q fighting word
That day seems to have passed, with
the shrinking Of the sense Of the
gravity Of lying. It Is common fol
respected men and women to lie
without twinge Of conscience. How
many thousands Of times in q day
secretaries will report to unwelcome
callers that their employer is mot
in." And servants will say the same
for their mistress. Thus lying /.
also made a part Of the everyday
duty Of Office workers and domestics
Into the warp and woof of modern
life has crept widespread disregard
for truthfulness. Perjury is common
IN courts; ask any Judge. Or look
at the staggering claims Of modern
advertising. Or peer into diplo.
matte intrigues. One does not have
to be much Of moralist to perceive
that tho life Of the postwar worlc
will have to be on q higher level o1
truthfulness and honor. The heroit
example OF the Noemill ers, and 9
myriad Of other victims Of Naz
tyranny, has stif1ened the mora,
fiber Of millions.
The Sunday School Lesson for
November 20 is, "Truthfulness at
All Times"-Exodus 20: 16; 23:
