Twice in recent weeks fires have resulted
from persons attempting to clean clothing in
gasoline. The first instance occurred in the o2nd
Division area when sergeant attempting to
clean his clothing was burned in the blaze that
followed the spontaneous ignition Of the fric--
tion-created static electricity and the gasoline
fumes.
The most recent instance occurred last week
in an Old Post private residence when gasoline
fumes were apparently ignited by a gas stove

resulted from a violation of Post reglations.

Fascism as Nazism is a state of mind. 1t is
a political system.
They both are open forms of power politics
that extends the rule of dictatorship into every
phase of life. They both came into being in
attempt to solve real problems of life that
existed in both Germany and Italy. Unfor-
tunately, they picked the wrong solution.
At the time these two isms came into being,
all countries expanding socially and Po-
Itically and retracting economically.
In the era just preceding the present era,
a man could go out and get job most any
time and most any place and thus
living. In any community, a man that did
not work was looked down upon and thought
to be worthless citizen. In the era just pre-
ceding the war, however a person wishing
to work would have to apply and wait for
job This waiting for a job produced many
of the economic problems that confronted
them with dictatorship. Hitler sold the idea
to the German people through the superior
race idea.

tionalism. 3. The decline of the individual

5. The military machine idea. 6. Regimenta-

WASHINGTON, Dec. % (UPJ
- The war department. in cons
trast TO President Roosevelt's em-
phasis on educational and social
aspects, told army officers today
that it favors universal training
for purely military purposes.
The department declared its
policy in a circular addressed TO
officers. 1t endorsed universal
military training for the lone and
only reason that without such
program the continued security of
our national and institutions
can no longer be assured
About a month ago. the Presi-
dent, expressing hope that Con-
gress would enact a compulsory
training law. commented that
there are many things a boy could
do for his country. He suggested
there were different ideas on what
constitutes military training; that
cooking might be military train
ing, and so might carpentry.
The army circular. however said
that the one reason for universal
military training is national de-
Tense. II added that this is:

fed opinion of all the foremost
