HOW THE YOUNG SOLDIER
 VIEWED CALVARY
1Contrfbuted)

One day in France the writer met a boy who wanted to talk. He had just come in from ten days in the trenches and he was tired. Ii was near Easter, and we had been reading the Scripture lesson about Gethsemane that evening in the lit- tie service we had held in the Y NJ. C. A. hut. He had been deeply i'm pressed. He went over and over what he had seen during the past ten days and then he asked me in- numberable questions about Jesus in the garden He said:
 As l understand it, Jesus didn't want to die. He wanted to get out of that engagement if there was any honorable way. didn't He? He so much as asked God to let Him off. didn't He?n
 His questions were insistent. and had to admit that there were mo ments in the Gethsemane of Jesus when He desired that that partic- ular cup should pass from Him if it were possible.
 The boy sat silent a minute or two Then he spoke with unusual emphasis.
 But when He found that He had to do it, that Be couldn't get out of it hOnorably, He asid. All right, let's gon"
 The boys words were so human that I put them down as he spoke them. I responded:
 What He actually said means exactly the same thing you have said: Nevertheless. not as I will, but as Thou wilt
 The boy was silent again and then said:
 That's just about the way I feel every time have to go down front. If I could honorably get out of it, you can bet your life I would. I am afraid to go. hate it. tremble until I can hardly get my puttees on tue day I know that we have to go over. But it's my job now that I'm here, and by George, I'll go if IL h4AA5 IuE-
 That was the spirit of Jesus, son--at least in part. He didn't want to suffer any more than you do. He dreaded the cross. But when He saw that it was inevitable that He die to bring in the Kingdom and a better world; when He saw that His dying would bring all men unto Him, He went"
 The boy paused again, then said abruptly:
 Then if that was His spirit, I'm for Him. I'm for Hlm!"
 have never read in all litera- ture the whole spirit of Gethsem- ane put more accurately than that boy put it. He was won by the spir- it of a Christ who was human enough not to want to die but who was willing to follow out the plans and the wishes of the Father. He could understand Savior like that. - pr. W. L. Stidger in the service of World War I.

 Meanwhile. in Seattle this week the 12-man Little War Labor Board was getting down to business on its assignment by WIPE to fix rate of pay for 30.0O0 fishermen. seamen and cannery workers in the north west and Alaska.
 Dr. George Bernard Noble, chair man of the regional War Labor Board, said the group. holding its third meeting since it's formation to handle all labor disputes arising in the Pacific northwest. will have before it the naming of a 5-man panel to rush an immediate hearing in Seattle on the pay Of the fisher men and eannery workers.
 The regional board, Dr. Noble ex- plained. must approve all wage in creases sought either by employees or employers before they can go in- to effect.
 Members of the board meeting are:
 For the public-Dr. Noble. Dr. Clark Kerr, of Seattle. vice chair man: John B. McCourt, Portland: Rev. Francis E. Corkery, Seattle.
 For the industry-Keith J. Mid dleton and Denzil Hailey. Seattle; Hal Dixon. Spokane. Harry L. Cor bett. Portland.
 For labor-LeO Flynn and Cap tain John Fox. Seattle; E. E. Ben edict and ell E. Nickerson, Port land.
 The five-man panel to be named will pass on the pay of some 12,0O0 Alaska fishermen and cam ry workers. another 12.0O0 operating in waters off Washington and another 3900 off Oregon. pr. Noble said they range a coastline longer than any other fishing field in the world
 In 1940, the Alaskan fishing in dustry harvested I5 million dollars worth of fish. Washington and Ore gon fishermen caught another 10 millions worth This years catch is even more valuable because it pro- vides a vital war food. Fish is food

The Woman Vote

It is matter Of Observation-Disclosures close
up or in full perspective. Thus we find no.
vice congresswoman declaring that women's
votes will rule next years presidential cleo
ton, and veteran congresswoman saying it
will not. It is the difference between inexper-
fence and seasoned observation. Rep. Wini-
fred Stanley Of New York, the freshman. offers
the affirmative argument: Rep Mary Norton
Of New Jersey, after nineteen years in Con-
gress, the negative.
There is no way Of determining in advance
which has the best of it. But there is some
thing in the fact that the election will find
great number of male voters abroad taking
care Of the war, or policing the world if the
war has ended. The percentage of eligible
women voters to men will be much greater
than in ordinary times. But, as Mrs. Nor
ton points out fewer women cast ballots than
they are generally credited with, because
they are too busy with their homes or Jobs to
go to the polls
Whether her reasons are correct or not. it
is true that from the time women acquired the
right to vote, they have not exercised their
franchise as widely as the stubborn fight they
made for it indicated they would

the women have gone them one better. Unless
there is 4 great awakening between now and
next November regarding the obligation to
vote, there is no sound reason to assume that
Representative Stanley is right and Represen-
tative Norton wrong.

Bad Checks

The November issue of The Tarheel Banker
contains an Informative article by l. M. Bailey
on bad checks, reprinted by permission from
the Carolina-Virginia Retailer, the official or
gan Of the North Carolina Merchants Associa
ton. Mr. Bailey bases his discussion on the
North Carolina Bad Check law enacted by the
1927 legislature and court interpretations STEM
ming therefrom
1t all sums up to the fact that it is unlaw-
full to issue a check without sufficient funds
in bank to meet it, or with nc funds there at
all, or to post-date otherwise put name to
check which is not fully backed by deposit
whether the purpose is to defraud or not.
The article is timely because of the increas-
ing appearance of worthless checks in Will
raington in the cashing Of which merchants
and other individuals are being done out of
considerable sums of money.
AS in all communities subjected to any in
flux of population and substantial increases in
payrolls, Wilmington has had an epidemic of
check kiting since construction was started at
Camp Davis. Few stores have escaped and
many an unwary citizen is out OF pocket with
little chance of reimbursement. For although
the culprit may be run down and punished,
the money involved is seldom recovered.
1t is not surprising therefore, that stores

There existed the same idea in
Moscow and London, despite the
immediate bitter struggle that
both the Soviet Union and Britain
were going through.
The matter of the moment then
was up to Hull. Could he stand
the long trip to Moscow? He could
and did, but not without giving
his physician some anxious mo-
ments. His plane did not fly as
high as the others in the party.
At the end of the trip he was Civ
en- some oxygen. When he stepped
out of the big plane at Moscow he
looked just about as you see him
across his desk in the State de-
partment in Washington.
At the lengthy hard conference
- where the foreign ministers
worked in two languages - Hull
took lively part in the CONVEX
sations. Time and again it was
his cool, logical reasoning and his
quiet, commanding voice that set
tied things.
He was showered with social
invitations while in Moscow. With
the exceptions Of Foreign Secre-
tary Vyacheslav Molotov's lunch
and Premier Stalin's dinner, the
secretary turned them all down.
He wanted to conserve his strength
for his work.
When it was all over he accept
ed Stalin's invitation to dine at
the Kremlin. Everyone knows he
arrived at $3.50 p. m. and didn't
leave until 2:30 a. m. Six hours
is quite few for a 72-year-older,
but he enjoyed every minute of it.
The four-power declaration was
birthed by Hull, although it was
pointed out with emphasis that
there was no opposition to it. The
U. S. secretary carefully weighed
each word that went into the dec
laration, and when it was signed
the Chinese ambassador in Mos.
COW beamed, "this is the happiest
day of my ife," he said.
Despite all HulPs precautions,
he came down with a severe nose
bleeding during the conference. 1t
took doctors about three hours to
halt the flow. Still, he attended
the conference that day and took
his usual active part.

the noise of shoes scraping on the

up by merely touching one of its
knob-like horns.
Deceptive in appearance, enemy
mines take shapes and forms. Some
resemble torpedoes. others look
like ash cans and many. mines
hardly can be distinguished from
an ordinary, harmless buoy. These
are the factors that make the lob
OF mine watch difficult and, at the
same time. dangerous
Anyone, who frenuents the beach,

men, bathers-can become unoffi-
clal members of the mine watch.
In fact, their cooperation was
sought by the military services
who realized that the effectiveness
OF their organization depended
largely upon the extent and number
OF their spoilers.
Spoilers were told to report any
suspicious objects floating off shore
or grounded on the beach to the
nearest military establishment.
Curious passers-by have been Sc
riously injured and killed because
they investigated mines they
thought to be "duds.''

when the new German magnetic
mine was introduced. shipping
around the British Isles was cur
tailed and in certain area virtual

an alert beach patrol facilitated the
recovery of one of these mines.
The secrets of this new type mine
