the committee from one inform
ant put an inspector general on
the trail of remodeling the COM
mandant's quarters and a COM
missary at Fort Lewis, Wash.
The original report put the ex-
pense at $500. First checkup by
the Army gave the costs at S7l6.
But when the informant ampli-
fled details, further investiga-
ton disclosed $4,000 costs on the
house and $4,000 on the COM
missary, which was made to look
like a super-market.
In this case, blame was put on

Uncle Rays Corner

A few months ago, a 4-year-old
boy said to me, There's going to be
another world war!"
How do you know" I asked.
Il heard 1t over the radio!" he
replied.
The little fellow probably had
heard some one say there would be
another war unless something Is
done to keep it from happening.
Since that day, have heard Will
liam L. Shirer, a widely known
newspaperman and radio speaker,
take up the subject twice. Each
time he said in substance:
If there is another world war, it
probably will destroy the human
race"
Please take notice of that word
IF" Wars are made by people and
not by fate. If we do have another
world war, 1t will be because some
persons fail to do their duty in
keeping one from happening.
Before the present war started,
people in our land and in many
other places gave plain signs that
they did not want war. They failed
to do enough to keep war from
taking place, but the great major
ity wanted peace, not war.
Even in Germany there is mo
proof that the majority of the peo-
pie wanted war. Hitler never got
as many as half of the votes cast
before he took complete power by
trickery and falsehood.
After he seized control of Ger
many, Hitler started what was called
peaceful conquest" To other coun-
tries, he made statements which
amounted to this:
You love peace, and you can
have it If you will do as tell you"
That kind of peace is something
which freedom loving people do not
care to have.
Many persons say that if the
United States had Joined the League
OF Nations Is years ago, this war
would not have happened. Perhaps
that is true, but the important thing
now is to answer the question,
What are we going to do about the
future?"
The 4-year-old boy who spoke
cheerfully about another war has
little knowledge of what such a war
would mean for him and his friends.
With trans Atlantic robot bombs
and many other deadly inventions,
another world war might leave the
earth in ruin.
A war is very much like a fire.
While fire is small, it can be put
out in hurry. If 1t is allowed to
spread, 1t may burn down a house
or many houses.

Hartford, May 17.-With 5000 lay communicants and 18 clergy now in the service of this or Allied na- tions, the one hundred and sixtieth annual convention of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Connecticut was overShadowed by war when 1t met at Christ church cathedral Tues day.
 The 275 delegates to the gather ing heard Bishop Frederick Bud- long, who presided, declare that God must not trust us with a peace until we become trustworthy in our motives, our aims and en- deavors.
 We shall win the war because God must not permit his self.de- luded children further to ruin their souls in the light of victory for their side. But when the awful price for victory has been paid in blood, God can win the peace only through us and in our minds and hearts and souls"
 At the same time, they heard Right Rev. Walter H. Gray, suf- fragan bishop of Connecticut speak, ing on the postwar world, advocate the calling of Pan-Anglican con- ference immediately after the war, to which there would be invited clerical and lay representative of each diocese of the Anglican com- munion, as well as all the bishops" |"
 Bishop Gray pointed out that there is not always recignition of the factt hat while there are ap- proximately g different churches which comprise what is normally termed The Anglican Communion, there is no central body except the Lambeth Conference which nor mally meets every ten years and which is composed solely of bishops and which is unofficial.
 'The need for a central, repre- sentative body of bishops and oth- CT clergy, as well as of the laity. has become increasingly clear as our own General Convention has found 1t necessary continually to de- fer action on matters until after the next session of the Lambeth Conference"
 Bishop Gray asserted that "there is increasingly recognition by large groups of churchemen of the need for promoting until within our church itself. Our promotion of church unity must, of course, begin within our own ranks if it is to be effective elsewhere"
 He continued to say that "the tremendous problems of the post war world must be faced by our church in unity with the other members of our communion. If there could be formed a definite federation of the church of the Anglican communion, it would mark long stept oward the util- mate reunion of Christendom.
 Preceded by religious services, the business session began at 9:45 a. m,
