ARGENTINA PLANS
TO TRAIN YOUTHS

Argentina's government placed tne
accent on youth Of both sexes
TO-DAY in an announced program TO
modernize the armed forces Dy

"pre-conscription" training IN such
fundamentals as athletics
The new military statute prob
ably will be put into effect early
next year. AS outlined by the wee
president and war minister, Col.
Juan Peron, it is divided into three
periods, pre-conscription until the
age of 20, CONSUMPTION then for a
minimum of one year and mlx-
mum of two. after which all males
would be subject to post-conscrlp-
ton duties until the age OF SO.
Organization of women's auxiH-
a-.y service, radical innovation
here, is planned for women who
have been trained form the age OF
IL to 20.
ssWe do not believe state can
function with such a lack Of pre-
paredness as would be represent
ed by handing men their arms at
the moment of going to- war,
Peron said.
Instead of having a CONSUMPTION
period of two, three o.: four years
service, "as in other countries, I"
Peron said the installation of the
new plan might enable Argentina
to proceed on the present limit Of
of one year.
A separate air force will be set
up, he said, and the promotion of
youthful officers accelerated be-
cause 1--WE seek to have generals
of the same age as those Of the
most advanced armies Of the

Situation In Europe

Instead of finding the Allies in Berlin oy
Christmas, the Germans are dreaming OF De
ing in Paris on that day. They will not be- o.
course, even though they have made some
progress in this sudden offensive Launched
along the Belgian front. At the same time II
is obvious that the Allies will not be in Berlin
either.
| It had been hoped that the war in Europe
might be ended by Christmas and we frankly
admit that we we're among those who nurseo
this hope. But for reasons not fully explained,
do not know all the reasons, but the failure to
have the Germans buck1ng at the knees may
be partly accounted for by the fact that, be-
sides the consummate generalship with which
the enemy fought the battle of the ports, Al
lied forces were not receiving the full limit of
supply which could have been maintained
through channels always available because of
SHORTAGES at the point of origin. We were not
turning out ammunition, particularly artillery
shells, at capacity output, with result that when
the need was greatest ammunition had to be
rationed and advances slowed down.
1'AS
Germans should have been caught between the
laws of closing wise, one on the east. the
other on the west Russia was not hurting the
full firepower of her forces into the battle but
instead was playing pressure politics with post
war territorial gains in mind.
There is strong school of thought which
holds, apparently with good reason, that it the
chief Allied governments had been fighting the
war with their entire military resources in re-
cent months. instead of devoting time to the
political chess game, the victory in Europe
might already have been won.
Now that Prime Minister Churchill has sur
rendered to Marshal Stain on the Polish border
question: and the ground in eastern Europe IS
solidly frozen, the Russians may start to make
up for lost time and by increasing the pres
sure there lessen it in the west. However this
may be, it is apparent that heavy fighting hes
ahead on both fronts with the ultimate surren-
der of the Germans delayed.

Daily Prayer
FOR BIBLE STUDY

Like leaves of healing, Thy word,
o God, is being scattered ove-
the whole earth. In d dark time,
the entrance of Thy word is giving
light. Divine cousel and comfort
are being given to troubled hearts.
Young men are cleansing their
way by taking heed thereto &C
cording to Thy word. Statemen are
returning to the tested wisdom of
the Book, AS the vista of new
world opens before our eyes, we
would see it shaped according to
the pattern shown in the mount.
For the Bible is Thy recorded will,
and, we would follow its teachings,
for life or for death. May this
blessed Book fortify and purify the
hearts of our fighting men, incit-
ing them to heroism and chivalry,
and a new awareness of the holy
Cause for which they do battle.
Inspire, we pray, all of us on the
nome front, to seek to attain the
Scriptural level of service and sac
rifice. Make warm within the
hearts Of all preachers of the Cos
pei glowing loyalty to Thy word,
and to the Christ whom it reveals.
And Thine shall be the Glory in
a transformed world. Amen. -

The Literary Guidepost

all times, but instead are often
oblique, often highly colored by
considerations quite outside. the u.s.
ual confines Of the fighting spirit.
In Mr.. Browns case, these con-
siderations usually are from the
stage or from literature, most
frequently the former. The inva-
sion preli1ninaries, and later the
invasion itself, came down, time
after time, to a gigantic scene on
an incredible stage. The illusions
that float up to the surface of the
book are oftenest dramatic or lit
erary. And the writing itself is
sometimes strange, too. Instead of
the one-two-three of the usual cor
respondent, Mr.. Brown frequently
used circuitous routes indeed.
Only under such plan could
an interview with Bernard Shaw
be included in a story Of the in
vasion. MANY a Watchful Night
is therefore a war book for the
quiet reader. The more studious
man is, the more likely he is to
return to the book after first
and highly pleasurable reading.
The picture-minded will find the
illustrations very well chosen, too.

Christmas Traffic

From now on for the rest of this week

abroad in large numbers.
be encouraged not to stop to converse with
friends in the middle of sidewalks. They will
confer a favor upon others afoot if they draw
aside either to the curb or the building lines,
where they will be out Of the pedestrian
stream and may talk in peace.
Along with the greater throngs of shoppers,
vehicle traffic will also grow to larger pro-
portions intersections will be crowded. Driv-
ers therefore are to be reminded tt at pedes-
TRANS have right of way at street crossings,
and urged to refrain from turning corners I'M
til the way is clear. By doing so serious
accidents may be avoided.
At the same time pedestrians are again
advised that it is unlawful for them to cross
streets on the red signal light. If they do SO
they are liable to jeopardize their own safety
and the lives of others.
Boy Scouts, as the custom is at this time
of the year, will be out in numbers to re-
strain impatient persons afoot at the curb
line until the green light gives them the go
signal But their services can be effective
only if pedestrians obey their signals, which
are usually reinforced with o n bamboo
wands held horizontally across the pedestri-
ANYWAY waist high.
Every possible provision is being made to
protect people on the streets, whether motor
ing or afoot. Observance of tn e provisions
along can prevent Christmas being a day of
tragedy instead of rejoicing.
