ment was sent to China on lend- lease. This is one reason why we haven't sent more. IA. The Eighth Route Army of the Communist guerrillas is more efficient, better disciplined, has better military startegists in con1- mand than Chiang Kai-Shek'S forces.
 3. The Communists have ex- cellent military intelligence. know more than any other Allied army about what is going on inside Ja- pan.
 1. The economic situation of the guerrillas is better than that of the Chungking forces. Both are pretty much cut off from the outside world, though Chungking has been receiving a trickle of supplies from the U. s. A. by plane.
 HOW GUERHLAS OPERATE
 The American missions report to the White House is a very human document. It tells a vivid story of the lengths to which ire epeople will go to fight an aggreSsor. With no ammunition to speak of-perhaps averaging 20 rounds to a man-Chinese guerrillas will attack a much stronger Jap force in order to take away their supplies.
 One of their most effective
 weapons is homemade dyna-
 mite, manufactured from salt
 petre, and sometimes mixed with
 odds and ends of metal to make
 hand granades. Dynamite has
 been too precious to use in
 blowing up railroads, so the
 guerrillas rip up railroad ties
 and rails by hand. To thwart
 them, the JapS now rivet their
 rails together.

Yes, we can do all these things, but we cannot do them with irn- punity. We can disobey God if we want to, but in the end we shall have to pay for this disobedience. We can buck the universe as much as we like, but in the end the uni- verse proves pretty substantial thing for us to beat our heads against. It is when we start to exercise our free will and turn a deaf ear to Gods commands that trouble begins. That is the mean ing of the Garden of Eden story.

A SENATOR'S EPITAPH

Among the tributes paid to the memory of t helate Senator Ellison D. Smith of South Carolina by his colleagues in the Senate was one by Senator Capper of Kansas, based on an association of more than quar- ter of a century. Senator Capper said of Senator Smith:
 If he was for something. he was for 1t . per cent. If he was against something, he was against it-well. generally considerably more than 1C0 per cent.
 That characteristic may have ac- counted for the fact that Senator Smith served in the Senate for a longer continuous period than any other American. South Carolinians

So many telegraph poles have been sawed off by the Com munistS that the Japs now have to go to the trouble of making concrete poles.
 The American mission also re- ported that the Communist armies had enever heard of a sulfa pill, never known what a blood bank was. When their men are wounded, they usually die.
 The Chinese Agrarian leaders made no demands on the Ameri- can mission, impressed U. s. of ficials with their independence and pride. When asked what the United States could send to help them, their requests were simple. First o n the list were radio sending and receiving sets. They also wanted some modern high powered dynamite, some cas- fly carried bazooka guns, some trench mortars and medical sup plies.
 One thing emphasized in the White House report was that the energetic operations of the guerriIIas make it impossible for the Japs to control the cities they capture. For as soon as the Japs capture 2 city, the guer- rillaS move in behind and make occupation a nightmare.
 The situation in China is sim liar to that which the United States found between Tito add General Mikhailovitch in Jugo- slavia. Only, instead of siding with one faction or the other. President Roosevelt is doing his best to get the two Chinese groups to work together.

Selected Poem
RIVER EVENING

(Frederick Ebright in The Christian Science
 Monitor) The chill smoke of November dusk lies now along the estuaries under the ruste6 willows, the chill mist of evening, profound and motonlesS, blue-violet in the last cold wash of light. Dark shoulders the last burnt crimson of the
 sumac
 the lats vermilion fire of the bittelsweet, the final embers of time of year. If leaves fall
 now, they fall in spectral silence on this tide; the tide itself moves soundleSSly in twilight no crack of branch cry of bird disturbs the hush as turns the end of day toward evening" the eason of the year toward sleep.

Current Comment

Because of the way they have been treated by civilians when per- mited leaves from hospitals, some service men are fearful of going home or to cities. While in the hospitals the spirit of such men is wonderful, but they are dismayed and embarrassed by the exhibition of pity through stareS and other ac- tions by civilians.

Army Finds PeniciIIin
Ineffective as Cure
In Rheumatic Cases
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-Penicillin has
not proved effective against rheu-
matoid arthritis, 1t. Col. Philip S.
Hench of the Army Medical Corps
said today in a report awaited with
interest by many physicians and
rheumatic patients.
Results of treatment of 10 SOL
diers with progressive rheumatoid
arthritis indicate also that the dis
ease is not caused by hemolytic
|streptococci bacteria, DR.. Hench,
formerly of the Mayo Clinic. Roches-
ter, Mimi, said in the Journal of
the American Medical Association.
Ever since it was announced that
penicillin was extremely effective
against a variety of infectious
agents, including hemolytic strep-
tococci," Col Hench said, many
physicians and host of rheumatic
patients have been hopefully await
ing news that penicillin might prove
effective against rheumatoid arth-
ritis."
Results Essentially Negative"
He explained that, although the
cause of rheumatoid arthritis is un-
known, the theory that the disease
is caused by microbes is still the
most widely accepted and that the
"strep" bacteria have, since 1929,
been most under suspicion"
Col. Hench said that, although all
the soldiers were given large doses
of penicillin, more than the amount
adequate against severe infections,
all the results were essentially neg
ative.''
From these negative results" he
said, 1--WE would conclude that
penicillin probably should not be
used for the further clinical treat
ment on rheumatoid arthritis, at
least until the material is available
in something approaching mex
haustible quantities"
