Davis Sees Possibility
OF 'Phony Revolution
By Nazis in Germany

SYRACUSE Sept 15.-German
leaders probably will engineer a
''phony revolution" to save their
own necks and the skeleton of their
war machine for another try at
world conquest, Elmer Davis. di-
rector of the Office of War In
formation told the New York State
Publishers Association last night.
Whether the Nazis get away with
it depends in large part on the
information supplied the public in
America and the other United Ma
tions, Mr.. Davis said in counseling
against overoptimism and distorted
perspectives in handling war news.
Mr. Davis acknowledged that part
of the fault in any overoptimistic
attitude in the United States lay
with official agencies responsible for
distribution of war news and pic

lures. He said this had been largely
corrected.
Early Victory Not Assured.
"There is no present reason to
expect that victory will come either
soon or cheaply," Mr.. Davis told
the publishers. 1T is possible that
the political disintegration of Hit
ler's ramshackle empire, already we'll
begun, might bring a decision in
Europe earlier than might be ex-
pected on purely military grounds;
but it would be far more difficult
for those Germans who are sick of
tne war to translate their feelings
into action than it was in 1918.
I'VE may very likely. before the
war is over, see phony revolution
in Germany put over by sham op-
poSition--by Nazi leaders or by mill
tary leaders who would be willing to
cut the throats of their associates
if they could thereby save not only
their own necks but the substance
of German military or industrial
power.

KNOWING THE
TRUTH
BY
Rev. Charles Milton Griffeth

In these days of total war, radio
stations, newspapers, magazines
and public platforms are pouring
out constant flood of propaganda
on the principle that words are as
deadly as bullets.
What greater acknowledgment
to the power of thought could be
given than this?
If by the propaganda of deliber-
ate deceptions, half-truths, and lies,
the epirit of defeatism can be i'm
planted for the purpose of destroy
ing the morale of the enemy, how
much more power for constructive
purposes in ones life is there in
truth.
Jesus revealed the liberating
power of spiritual truth when He
declared: "Ye shall know the truth
and the truth shall make you free" "

Spiritual truth has the power to

We do not come to "know" spir-

through" or by sitting down and
working out some kind of spiritual
syllogism. Spiritual truth comes
into ones possession only when our
minds are in the proper receptive
mood to receive it.
