NEW YORK, May 12.-Rails slip
ped in the stock market today after
a brief furry of support and led the
list into lower ground
Industrial shares, which had eX-
hibited spotty strength during the
forepart of the day, quickly fol-
lowed the rails and in many cases
small early gains were replaced by
losses of fractions to around point.
Weighing on manufacturing shares
was the War Production Board an
nouncement some $4,000 00O,O 900 in
war contracts would be reviewed
for possible cancellation.
Prime Minister Churchills visit
in Washington, while believed for
the purpose of planning Allied
strategy in the European war, was
viewed by some market followers as
a good reason to withhold commit
ments pending developments.
Activity, off considerably during
midday, picked up in the last hour
but still ran at the slowest full ses-
sion rate of the month at about L.
100000 shares.
Under water toward the last were,
among others. United States Steel,
Bethlehem, American Telephone,
United States Rubber, Goodrich,
Southern Railway, Northern Pacific,

tional Harvester, United Aircraft,

A Race To Stay Ahead

Sir Arthur T. Harris, head of the British Bomber
Command saws that the centre in the air is race
as to whether we or the Germans keep sixty days ahead
in sceitifc and chronological developments"
Undoubtedly there is some basis for the obserya-
ton of this veteran commander OF aerial forces Inc
Germans are desperately seeking to neutraze the aerial
offensive They have introduced directed bomb
dropping glider plane rocket gun and IAN air-to-air
bomb dropped bomber formations from planes flying
overhead. tE
The use of these weapons presents some problems
to our aerial commanders but there is no indication
that they will be able to halt the devastation OF German
industry and bases.
The reports indicate the serious nature of the con-
test that is going between scientific techniclans OF
the countries at war; The discovery of new principles
of science involving RADIO sound electromagnetic
waves for the remote control of weapons, will play
great part in future warfare.
It is hardly likely that the of the present
struggle will be altered however, by the application OF
any such discovery.

Total abstinence from all alcoholic
liquors is the only sensible and eff
fective policy for Christian people.
Some, who want to use alcohol them
selves, like to stress the Bibles
teaching of temperance. They point
to the use Of wine on the part of peo-
pie in biblical times, although they
fail to note that more often than
not it was non-alcoholic. (See The
Bible and Wine" published by Loi-
zeaux Brothers.)
Another thing they ignore is that
we live in a different day with a
mechanical society. when alcoholic
beverages are offered through high
pressure advertising and in highly
distilled and potent form.
What we are most interested in is
what the Bible teaches about the
matter. We note that
Abstinence is Necessary
1. For Spiritual Obedience Gev.
1912, BID.
In the religious life of a nation
one expects the leaders to set the
example for the people to follow.
Two things we may rightly demand
of those who serve the nation in its
religious life: ID a vision of God
and obedience to that vision in life
and service, and (2) the exercise Of
sound, God-guided judgment in the
affairs of the people.
But note what happens when the
prophet and the priest turn to wine
and strong drink. They err in vision
lisa. 28:D. That is, they have no
clear concepts of divine truth, and
lead the people into error. Further,
we see that they stumble in judg-
ment."
To every true servant Of God
comes repeatedly the opportunity
and the need of rendering judgment,
that is, of advising and counseling
those to whom he ministers. If his
mind Is befuddled by the use Of al
cohol Cor, for that matter, by any
other kind Of worldly indulgence) he
will STUMBLE" and cause his peo-
pie to stumble.

II. For National Order prov. 81:
4, 81.
1t is a notorious fact that the Hq-
uor interests strongly influence the
political life of nation. (See The
Wrecking of the 18th Amendment"
by Ernest GordonO
While political leaders may make
sanctimonious protestation that gov
eminent agencies are not influenced
by the liquor interests. it is common
knowledge even to those who are
slightly informed that the two are
closely associated.
The result of that unholy alliance
is rightly described in Proverbs 31:5
They forget the law. and
pervert the judgment of any of the
afflicted" Much of the sad disorder
in the body polite is traceable di-
rectly to the door of the makers and
sellers of alcoholic beverages.
1t is a depressing and disturbing
thing when the leaders of a nation
are known to lean on alcoholic slim
ulants-the broken reed on which
man can only be pierced The de-
structive influence of their example
can be imagined.
III. For Personal Usefulness

John was to be born into life of
such blessed usefulness to God and
man that he was to be 'joy and
gladness" to his parents, great in
the sight of the Lord" and instru-
mental in turning many of the chill
dren of Israel to the Lord"
Such a life is worthy of emulation
on the part of every young man and
woman. What is the secret of it?
Undoubtedly. fine Christian parent
age had much to do with it.

such as rearing and training, but Of
great importance was the fact ".

the false stimulants of this world,

but being filled with the Holy
Ghost'-there, young people, is the
secret of happy and useful life.
Note that John was to be great
in the sight Of the Lord" ". 49,
nothing finer or more distinctive
could be said about a man. That
greatness simply could not exist
along with indulgence in wine nor
strong drink" Being filed with the
Spirit precludes the use of intoxi-
cants.

Washington, d. c.
Washington watches the swift
march of events across the Russian
plains. The renewed offensive. more
than half a month before even the
Russian people dreamed it was pos
sible, has quickened all nerves.
For the Russians, 1t means the pos
sibility Of a sudden peace.
And while Moscow dreams of the
end of the war Just around the first
snow-covered mound on the battle
field, the Allies are considering the
possibility of what it means to them.
For there is always that haunting
memory Of a remark Of Stalin's in
the back Of their minds--the remark
that the destruction Of the Reichs-
wehr was not a condition of German
surrender as far as the Kremlin is
concerned. In addition there is the
realization of the presence of those
German divisions still intact beyond
the Alps, not to mention the others
still nearer. aa

What Russia Wants
The optimists say that Russia
wants nothing that an honest world
cannot afford to offer. and is willing
to give in return all that an honest
world need ask for. The pessimists
say that even If Britain and America
can be converted to full faith in such

part, how are you going to convert
communist Russia to an equal faith

capitalistic nations?

The Future

4 ne Fufure
Much of the education received
will be carried over as useful in
civilian life, for one out of three Of
every army and navy job is identical
with civilian job and over two
thirds of the men in the service de-
velop skills that can be used in civil
ian jobs.
These figures alone, / believe,
show that when I'D Day" comes,
the millions discharged will not be

ing but to fight. AS matter of fact,
the vast majority will have, if they
have anything like the feeling l and
most of my comrades in the last
war had, an overweening desire to
settle down to job and the build
ing Of home, mo more to roam"
Some, of course, who had the itching
foot will have developed chronic
cases, but it is doubtful if those roll
ing stones would have gathered
much moss anyhow.
For the majority Of the men who
make up our armed forces who want
and expect to fill civilian jobs. the
careful classification of skills which
is vital part of the army and navy
system is going to work in reverse
in getting them jobs afterward. In
preparation for this. experts are al
ready assembling accurate descrip-
tons of jobs which men learn to do
in the service, keeping cumulative
record Of the work they do, prepar-
ing additional tests which will give
clear picture of their achieve
ments and talents to the prospective
employer. They are also preparing
to tell the serviceman what job he
is best fitted for and offering help
which will better prepare him for it,
doubt if ever before in history
the military has taken on such a
responsibility for fitting the boy back
into his natural groove when the
fighting is over. This is a total war,
everybody is in it, and those who
have been forced to take over the
abnormal duties of fighting are not
going to be set adrift.
