'Comradeship, loyalty and sacri- flee take on new meaning in these days stated Rev. pr John c. Walk CT, Second Con. :egetional church, pastor, Sunday morning in his ser mon, The Mark of Goodness and the Measure of Religion
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 At all times, but more particular ly in such tragic days as these, we are concerned with fundamental things in life and faith. On the physical side of life we know that untold millions of people have died and tens and hundred of thousands are still dying, not for wanl of comforts and luXuries, but for lack of the minimum amount of food needed to keep a man alive. Tor lack of a few swallows of water or of few drops of medicine. On the spiritual side it becomes very plain to men in peril of their lives that true religion is not something you read about in a book, but Stub- born faith you hold in your heart, a faith invincible, inVulnerable, that burns like a living flame in a mans soul.
 A few months since there was iS- sued a statement which indicated that there would be less meat for the American market during the next few month We were warned to expect a shortage here because of increased needs abroad. Nov the shortages abroad are a matter of common knowledge. What we call shortage here would seem like fabulous plenty to hundreds of millions of people in China and on the Continent of Europe, yes and suppose in Great Britain, In France the meat ration has fallen as low as a pound every three months. In the Netherlands chil- dren have been existing on one sixth normal diet. Everyone knew that once occupied countries were liberated we would be faced with the responsibility of feeding untold numbers of starving people. With all that as a background two newspaper chains carried on a campaign to cut down the export quotas so that We could have more meat at home. They used as a Slo- gan, Charity begins at home Dr. Searle of the Greater New York Federation of Churches makes the necessary and conclusive comment, ''As if they had the slightest con- ception of what charity means or of what really makes a home"
 Finally, my brethren, we have the injunction ito walk humbly before Cad" We need the grace of hu- miuty now and always. Indeed I think we need it far more in these days than men did in days gone by. Modern man tends to grow proud and arrogant. He has foolish and fatal obsessions. He thinks new tools and new technics, which prove so successful in the world of indus try, will solve all our social and po- litieal problems. He Supposes that ! some blue print, some fancy scheme l of world order will set the world right and keep it right. On the } contrary we need some world order and some larger measure of world justice, under God, if our civiliza- ton is to survive. We have been reminded that there was a vast amount of wishful thinking after the last war. It was supposed that the new society, the new brother

hood would spring up overnight. Men did not realize that good will among men waited upon good will toward God and larger measure of obedience to his laws of justice and brotherhood.
 And this is where We must bring in the church. The church has been defined, not as the company of the righteous, but as a company of sinners calling their fellowsinner to repentance. St. Paul. the great est of the apostles, called himself the chief of sinners. Brethren, l count not myself to have appre- hended: but this one thing I do forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth to those things which are before, l press to- ward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus"
 No. St. Paul ends his sentence with Christ Jesus. So we must end our meditation on the same note. The text we have used this morn ing was from the Old Testament but it was fulfilled in the New. What is good? The best thing in all the worlds history was the life and death of Jesus. He was and is The Lord of All Good Life No one in the long history of mankind ever did more justly, ever loved and served mercy more graciously, ever walked more humbly, more obedi- ently before God the Father. Micah of old spoke words of truth and wisdom Jesus of Nazareth was in Himself, truth and power and life eternal

BY DEAN W. DITTMER

Washington. May 8-(UP)-The War Department wants a postwar peacetime standing army of 5000 0v0 regulars backed up by 100000 ac- tive reserves, it was disclosed to- day.
 The army'S postwar plans were outlined at a closed session of the House Military Affairs Committee by Brig. Gen. Edward A. Evans of the army general staff comittee for reserve policy.
 Committee by Brig. Gen. Edward A.. Evans of the army general staff for reserve policy.
 Committee members said army plans, based on the assumption that Congress will approve compul- sory peacetime training, would give the nation total of 4,500000 train ed men who could be thrown into the field in approximately 120 days.
 What Congress will do about a compulsory training program re- mains to be seen, but Chairman Clifton A Woodrum, D., Va, of the House Postwar Military Policy Committee, has announced that his group will begin open hearings on the subject next month.
 The total of A,500,000 asked by the army would include the 300, 900 regulars, 400, ,OOO to 500,000 men who would be in the compulsory train ing program at a given time, active reserves who had completed their training and probably the national guard. committee members said.
 Under compulsory training bills before Congress, a trainee would be listed as an active reserve for a period of several years after com pleting his training.
 In comparison to the size of this force, the army had 302,968 enlisted men and 23 ,192 officers ,on Aug. 3l, 194O a year and half before the Pearl HarbOr attack.
 Meanwhile Rep. Walter G. An drews, R., N. Y, Republican on the House Military Affairs Committee has accepted full responsibility for the disclosure that the army plans to discharge 100000 men ir the first 12 months after VIE Day.
 The War Department originally intended to make public it's demo- bilization plans on or after V-F Day. However, last Saturday i confirmed demobiliZation stories which quoted congressional mem berS" as their source.

Tin Can Collections
Increase 0ne-Third
Over Last Year

Washington housewives have re-
sponded we'll to the District Sal
wage Committees tin-can program,
increasing their donations during
the first six months of this year
by 331a per cent over last year,
it was announced yesterday.
The announcement was in marked
contrast to recent pronouncements
of salvage officials, who had warned
that tin-can collections were lag
ging. In the past two weeks the
picture changed sharply, they said.
Notwithstanding the fact this is
the fresh vegetable season and Vic
tory gardeners are supplying their
menus from their own sources, rath-
er than from tin cans, collections for
June totaled 90,100 pounds or ap-
proximately 1919 per cent over the
monthly average for the last six
months of 1914" James E. Coli
flower, committee chairman, de-
clared.
The committee said its informa-
ton Office had been sWamped with
calls for salvage information in the
past two weeks, and that collection
figures show the average pickup at
apartment houses this month was
240 pounds, compared with 100
pounds prior to June.
The Capital Transit Co., one of
the local business concerns donat-
ing trucks for collection, this week
collected 4,200 pounds of prepared
tin cans from 16 apartment houses,
according to committee statistics.
City-wide collections of cans dur
ing the first six months this year
amounted to $4,000 pounds, a
monthly average of 90,416 pounds.
Collections during the last six
months of 1914 totaled 1870
pounds, the committee said.
Pointing out that the tin-can
drive has created more interest than
any other salvage program of the
committee, Mr.. Collifiower expressed
his sincere appreciation for the
tremendous cooperation of those
who are participating in the pro-
gram"
He stressed, however, that fuller
cooperation was needed from both
home-owners and apartment dwell
ers who are not now saving their
cans.
