Bengal Bay Deltas
Termed Remarkable

Naval and air operations in the
Bay of Bengal have opened up a
new war theater which covers some
5000 square miles, or an area
more than three times that of Tex
as, according to the National Geo
graphic society.
An arm of the Indian ocean, cut
ting deeply into southern Asia be-
tween India and Burma, the Bay of
Bengal is formed in the rough out
line of pointed arch. It is about
900 miles long and 1900 miles
across, as measured at its broadest
stretch between the tip of India and
the Malay peninsula.
The Bay of Bengal washes the
shores of some of the worlds most
thickly settled regions. The prov
inces of Madras, Bengal and Bihar-
and-Orissa hold roughly 100000
people, while the big island Crown
Colony of Ceylon adds another 6,000,-
900. Embattled Burma has a popu-
lation estimated at close to 16,000,-
600.
An outstanding feature of the Bay
of Bengal geography is its remark
able delta lands, built up by such
large rivers as the Ganges, Brah-
maputra, and Mahanadi, on the In
dian side, and the Irrawaddy in
Burma.
There are no good natural har-
bors along India's east coast, and
artificial ports have been construct
ed. Burma's shoreline, on the other
hand, presents a number of ex-
cellent harbor sites, including those
at Tavoy, Moulmein and Akyab.

Aerial Bombing Born
During World War |

Bombers, the backbone of the
army air forces, are heavy artillery
on wings, designed to carry destruc-
ton to the enemy's industrial areas,
transportation, lines Of communica-
ton, and other vital points.
Aerial bombing as an organized
weapon of offensive warfare was
born in the World war. In the first
year Of the war, the few planes
in action were used almost exclu-
sively for observation purposes, and
were not even armed. Pilots of OPP
posing sides often would wave to
each other in passing. AS bitter
ness increased, the fliers took to
shooting at each other with pistols.
Then came machine guns.
The first bombs were Ineffective,
and bombsights, when used at all,
were crude, so that the results were
pretty much on hit-or-miss basis
more noise than damage.
After the World war, the army air
corps continued building and expert
menting with bigger and better,
harder-hitting bombing planes. In
1921 Martin bomber, in test off
the Virginia Capes, dropped ton
of bombs on the obsolete battleship
Alabama, and sank it. Each sue
ceeding year, army air corps pilots
were at the controls of bombers that
flew faster and with greater bomb
load. The uncannily accurate
American bombsight was an accom-
panying development.

Does Iesus HAVE Such Power?

Let us not merely chuckle that
Jesus was able 80 effectively to meet
criticism. That is something. But
it is not the main thing. The main
thing is this, Jesus has power on
earth to forgive sins, to set alien
sinners right with God! That is big
news, so to speak. But millions
have not heard it or do not believe
it, and therefore are without God
and without hope in the world. How
can we escape unless we tell them
of this Saviour? And the class we
teach-are all the members aware
that Jesus can make a-tone-ment
for them with God? Do. we labor
to make clear each theological or
doctrinal point and miss this, that.
Jesus alone can save us from our
sins?
