Dr.. Pugh Found Troops
More Realistic Than
Fathers in 1918

The boys who are fighting this
war are lot more intelligent and
realistic than their fathers who
fought in 1918, DR.. William Bar
row Pugh, administrative head OF
the Presbyterian Church in the
United States of America, told an
assembly of several hundred per-
sons at the first annual meeting
OF the Servicemen's Christian
League in the Willard Hotel yester-
day.
The fathers of these boys" DR.
Pugh said, would believe any slogan
you gave them. You could tell them
they were out to save democracy or
that they were fighting a war to end
all wars and they would stand up
and cheer.
you can't do that with these boys
today. They are more realistic and
more intelligent"
Sees Support for Churches.
DR.. Pugh said he believed this
country's fighting men, IF properly
directed, will be the very backbone
Iof the churches" when they return
to civilian life.
THE chapels are not over
crowded." he added "but there is
something underneath that is really
religion"
The Protestant leader, recently re-
turned from 48,000-mile inspection
tour Of American battle zones, COM
mended the work that is being done
by chaplains of every faith.
Il believe that when the war Is
over and the records have been
completed" he said, there will be
nothing more stirring than the
stories Of the men who represented
God in the farthest corners Of the
globe" He described their attitude
as "consecration unparalleled and a
devotion to all that is fine in Chris
tian life
Chaplains' Records Cited.
Chaplains in this war, he pre-
dicted, would have the same record
they established in 1918 when
their ranks suffered the highest pro-
portion of deaths of any branch OF
the service.
Secretary of the Navy Knox told
the group that there is "far wider
understanding and knowledge among
the men fighting this war than in
any other war in which the Nation
ever engaged, including the First
World War"
"In this war, to a degree never
approached before" he said, men
are turning to God. There are
things about this war that lead men
to think of God and to think of re-
ligion"
Col. George F. Rixey, deputy chief
OF Army chaplains. said the church
is concerned with the kind of peace
that will evolve from the war.
President Sends Message.
1T deserves to have a voice In
this peace" he said. Our fighting
men will not follow leaders who are
cropping themselves"
A message from President Roose-
welt was read to the gathering. The
President said he felt certain the
successful completion Of DR.. Pugh's
tour would help to bring confidence
to the relatives and friends of our
men,"

patch, reported by the Paris radio
that Baron Raffaele Guariglia, vet
cram Italian diplomat, has been ap-
pointed Italian Ambassador to Tur-
Key in place Of Augusta Rosso
former Ambassador to Washington
I and Moscow,
ROSSo's appointment to the An
kara post was announced about a
month ago, Before he could reach
| his post, however. came the laconic
| announcement that Guariglia would
| go there.
Reports have been published and
broadcast in the United States de-
scriblng Rosso as pro-American and
even as anti-Fascist and observing
that he might be in a position in
Turkey to make contact with rep
resentatives of the Allies Rosso was
a popular member OF the diplomatic
set in Washington, and made many
American friends.
Assuming these reports we're
picked up by the Rome radio, the
impression in Washington was that
they had reached Mussolini, who
promptly Cancelled Rossos appoint
ment and left him in retirement at
Florence. where he has been living
with his American wife.
Anybody else Whose name hap
pened to be mentioned publicly as
possibly friendly toward the United
States probably would be made in
accessible by the Fascist regime. in
the Washington view.
Little is known here about Guarie-
