Brigade Bows Camp

We have read with deep interest of youth
clubs and play centers in England. They have
for their chief purpose the curtailment of
juvenile delinquency which has become a
grave problem there it has here, greatly
aggravated by the war emergency. The move
ment is creditable but too new to have nrov.
ed its case.
In Wilmington there is a youth club and
play center where the objective is higher than
at the clubs being formed in England
Whereas they would curtail delinquency, the
club here functions to prevent it by sound
training by wholesome recreation, by develop
ing youthful aptitudes by intoxicating in the
plastic minds of boys the principles of good
citizenship, the true craftsmanship of keen
competition and fair play in all their dealings.
This, broadly, is the program of the
Brigade Boys Club How well it has succeed.
ed is evidenced by the conspicuous position in
community life attained by its older members
who had the advice and companionship of
Col. Walker Taylor, organizer of the Boys
Brigade forty-odd years ago, and of members
OF the Senior Fraternity - young men who
rprofited so well from their experiences in the
Brigade that they are now making enviable
regulations in business and the conduct of life
generally or serving their nation with credit
in the armed forces
Guaging the future of the several hundred
Wilmington boys now in the Brigade by past
achievements of the organization it is fair to
think they will do as well as any of the Old
Brigade of the Senior Fraternity.
Within year, through the generosity Of
Mr.. c. Van Lueven and several business firms
and skilled workers of the North Carolina
Shipbuilding Company, the Brigade has been
able to expand its activities to include fine
camp on the Sound which, it is confidently
expected, will be in full swing throughout the
summer.
Some hundreds of youngsters will be given
two week outings under competent super
happier and better fitted for the next school
term.
The camp is not fully equipped, not entirely
completed. But when the first batch of young
sters leaves the city it will be sufficiently set
up to assure them reasonable comfort and
a grand good time. The camp is project
that inevitably must engaged the interests and
good will of all persons who understand it's
objective and advantages.
Thus far, because of gifts of materials and
volunteer work, in which the boys themselves
have had share, it has not been necessary
to appeal for financisl assistance for the camp
Nor is it intended to do so now. But there is
no reason why literally minded persons, who
know that the future of the city and the
nation depends upon the type of boys we are
now training, should not make voluntary
gifts.

Daily Prayer
TO THOSE WHO MOURN

Our hearts are narrowed by the
daily toll of battle death: and our
imaginations reach forth to the
multiplied myriads of bereaved-
the parents left childless; the chill
dren left fatherless, the wives left
husbandless. Have mercy upon
them all, O me1ciful Father. Com
fort them all, in their great sor-
row and loneliness, with the COM
fort of Thine own word and pres
ence. The dead have died in de-
votion to Country, and to great
aims outside of themselves. May
their sacrifice help make clear to
us the sacrifice of Thy Son for
the greatest Cause. May all who
mourn be exalted by new call
to carry on for a better life of
mankind, in fulfillment of these
dear lives sacrificed on the altar
of duty. Grant that grief may sane
tify and ennoble life, and make
more real and near the reunions
in the heavenly realm of peace
and unbroken bliss. We pray. that

Change May Be Needed

Is the situation in the Burma-India theater
Guiding our Secretary of War and members
Of the British colony in Washington, claim?
in the Imphal area before the monsoon
comes? Only the shape of the battle during
the three weeks probably remaining before
the monsoon strikes can give the answer.
In the meantime, Sidney Shallett writing
in the New York Times, puts pertinent
questions regarding command, from the
generals in the field to the chiefs staff
do Lieut. Gen. Joseph w. Stilwell, COM
mander of United States armies in the
area, and Admiral Lord Louis Mountbat-
ten, Allied Commander in Chief of the
Southeast Asia Command see eye to eye
on the strategy to be followed?
Does Admiral Mountbatten have suffi-
cient authority to carry out campaign,
or is he hampered by the fact that Indian
troops are under another commander,
Gen. Sir Claude J. E. Auchnleck?
Is there any justification to charges in
Britain that Burma is being treated as
S1oSS41o" dIQ udI campaign LQere
has not received sufficient backing by the
Chiefs of Staff?
British sources, he says, defend Lord Mount
batten's course, and Americans in the know,
Mr.. Stimson, our war secretary, particularly,
say the military situation is sound that there
is no actual danger of Japanese success in
the present campaign. But Mr.. Shallett de-
clares the significance of the situation is more
far reaching than the ''mere decision as to
which side will hold this small strip of India -
It is, as he sees it:
1. If the British prove that they are the
masters of the situation, that they are contain
ing the Japanese assault and will defeat it,
the victory will go long way toward redeem
ing the British military leadership from the
criticisms that have emanated even from Brit.
ish sources.
2. If they fail the criticism obviously will
be justified, and should cause a call for a
change of Allied military leadership and
strategy in that theatre
Although the Japanese seem to have under
taken their invasion of India as preventive
oneratjon rather than for conquest they OBJ
vio,ssly had in mind the cutting OF the railroa:

IUP OF EHE MORNING.
Come take a morning walk with me-
1 know path that winds its way
Past meadows sweet with clover hay
There is so much to hear and see
So much to bless.
Sir Robin-he, too, is on the Job
And worms had better hide from Bob.
And yonder shines a streak of gold
Where buttercups their hearts unfold
To gid the sod.
Gan you conceive what mortals miss
who'd take a morning walk like this
And not see-God?

Postwar Project

Following separate action by both
houses, senators and representatives
got together in the nations capital
to settle on a definite postwar fed
eral highway program. the first ma
jor public works project planned
for peacetime.
After the senate had approved of
the expenditure of $3.50, 900, 900 an
nually for three years after the war
for construction of rural, secondary
and urban highways, the house
passed a bill providing for $500, O0O,-
900 annually for three years.
Under both versions. states would
have to contribute an equal amount
Of money for road projects. and
sums would be distributed through
out the country on the basis of re-
gional importance. Under the house
bill. for instance. SITS, 900. 900 would
be allotted for rural highways, $780,
900, 900 for secondary roads and

Revenue Workers
Buy Many Bonds

War bond and stamp pur-
chases totaling $3.50 ,923. SO were
made by employees of the Of
flee and branch offices of the
internal revenue in the Mont
ana district between Feb. l,
1912, and Nov. IS, 1914, Lewis
Penwell, collector, announced
this week.
During the Sixth War Loan
drive, the quota of IS per cent
of one months salary for the
purchase of additional War
bonds has been exceeded by ap-
proXimately Is per cent. EN-
ployees' purchases during the
five previous drives also exceed
ed established quotas.
When the payroll deduction
plan for War bond purchases
was inaugurated, employees were
asked to invest at least 10 per
cent of their salaries in bonds.
This quota has been met by
practically all employees in the
Montana district, and tn e
monthly average is much high
err. During War Bond drives,
employees are expected to invest
an additional IS per cent of one
months salary in bonds.
Mr.. Penwell points out with
pride that his employees have
not only met these quotas but
have purchased bonds sub
stantially in excess thereof.

SEDITION TRIAL.:
Death Ends 1t

With the death of 65-year-old JUS
tice Edward c. Eicher of Iowa. the
seven-month-long. and at times far
cical, sedition trial of 26 defendants
in Washington. D. c.. came to an
abrupt end, with small chance of
resumption.
Although government counsel said
the trial could go on if both the U. S.
and defendants agreed to the selec-
ton Of another judge, it was recalled
that a federal court previously had
ruled that justice required compile
ton of a case by the same judge and
jury and no substitutions could be
made, even with consent. Thus, the
government was faced with the al
tentative of starting new proceed
ings.
Even though the trial of the 26
defendants. accused of trying to un-
dermine the morale of the U. S.
armed forces and establish a Nazi
form Of government in this country,
had already taken up seven months,
government counsel revealed that
at least six more months would be
necessary to complete presentation
of its evidence. With defendants
attorneys expected to consume an
additional three to six months, the
case promised to last about a year
and a half.

With airplane activity limited by

ground, with heavy U. S. field ar
tillery and big. rumbling tanks pour
ing their deadly fire into enemy en-
trenchments to clear the way for
the doughboys of the infantry.
Although General Patton's
Third army about the Saar, and
General Patch's Seventh army

heavy pressure on Nazi lines,
the focal point of action CEN

army fronts between Julich and
Duren.
East of the small, but strategic,
Roer river, both Of these towns are
vital communications centers, with
elaborate highways running in from
the Rhineland to feed other road
ways running to the north and south.
AS the great battle of attrition-
wearing down-rose in tempo, this
highway network was vital to the
Germans in rushing troops and ma
terials to the endangered front. and
then transferring them to the north
and south.
Indicative of the great pressure
General Eisenhower was eXerting in
this sector was the report that his
opponent, foxy Field Marshal Won
Rundstedt, had transferred troops
from the Dutch front to the Julich-
Duren sector to cope with the Allied
poWerhouse.
No sooner had the report come
through than it was announced that
Canadian troops had taken the field
on the Dutch front, increasing Al
