Gasoline In War

Thirty five million gallons of gasoline are
going to our armed forces daily from Ameri-
can refineries. The only way to get the picture
Of what this means is to compare it with the
average consumption Of the ordinary pass
eneer automobile. At fifteen miles a gallon,
the average consumption of cars in fair con.
dition (Which few are these days. an automo.
bile could travel 525,0o0,oOo miles.
When American forces reached the Rhine

gasoline needed to power our air forces i.

The rise and ruin of Berlin as
Germany's capital and a world
metropolis have taken place with
in three quarters OF century,
points out the National Geograph-
ic Society. Although the city dates
from medieval times, and was the
capital in turn of Brandenburg and
Prussia, it was not Until 1871 that
it joined front ranks OF interna-
tional cities as the government
seat of the neWly-formed German
Empire.
Between 1870 and 1889, Berlin S
population rose from less than
100000 to nearly four and a halt
million, making it the largest city
on the European continent. 1t had
also become Germany's Number
One industrial and commercial
center, the hub of transport lines
by air, highway, rail, river, and
canal.
Berlins early as well as mod

a mixture of historical factors and
its location on convenient traffic
mixture of historical factors and
it's location on convenient traffic
routes across the North German
Plain. The city grew out of two
fishing villages mentioned as early
as the 18th century on an island
and nearby bank of the Spree
river, hundred straight line
miles from the Baltic Sea. Lying
between the great Elbe and Oder
rivers, west and east, and between
the southern German highlands
and sea outlets on the north, Ber-
lin became an easily-bridged, nat
ural crossroads on paths of trade
and conquest.
In pioneering days, it was an
outpost of the militant religious Or
der of the Teutonic Knights in
their campaigns to subjugate and
convert the Slavs in this part of
Europe. Later, as the capital OF
Brandenburg, Berlin was the nu-
cleus of the expanding power of
the Hohenollern family, destined
to create and rule the militaristic
state of Prussia before its fail in
1913, and eventually to dominate
all Germany.

lin made spectacular leaps in
growth and development, inter
rupted by occasional periods OF
letdown. In the century following
1888, the city's inhabitants in
creased from 10000 to nearly $780,
900; in the decade between 1870
and 1880, from some $4,000 to
1,122, 900. Before the first World
War. Greater Berlin was ap-
preaching a population of four mil
lion, figure that dropped soon
after the war to two million. Re-
ports of the early 192O's indicated
that perhaps 100000 of the people
then living in Berlin were Rus
sian refugees from the Bolshevik
Revolution. Visit or also men
toned that the Berliners seemed
poorly dressed and ill-nourished,
although actual war destruction
had not reached the city.
Modern Berlin had an area OF
341 square miles sprawled over
flat, open plain, unsheltered from
summer heat or bitter winter
winds. The city site is "a miles
long from west to east. Before the
aerial punishment of the present
war, it was the nations second
inland port, linked with the rest
of the country by complex net
work of waterways. A dozen or
more railways ran through Berlin.
It also had electrical metropolitan
lines.
In addition to the transport fs.
cilities which have played an I'M.

Grated nearly 200 of the leading
factories of Germany, employing
one-tenth of the nations industrial
workers. Its manufacturing activi.
ties were many and varied, includ-

war-vital products as electrical
equipment, airplane engines, ca.
bles, ornaments, machine tools,
chemicals. Situated in the sub.

of these factories were surround

buildings that constituted towns

False Armistice Again

Not since the false armistice in 1918 has
.hsre been such an overflow Of effervescent
spirits as on Saturday night when word swept
the country that Germany had surrendered,
when the people generally celebrated vic
tory that had not been officially declared
Wilmington went wild" with downtown
streets thronged with smiling, shouting pedes-
trians and motorists honking horns, and people
finding their way into churches, some OF which
held thanksgiving services.
Yet there was a difference between Sat
urday night and November 4, 1918, and the
difference is significant. Twenty-Five years ago
the word was definitely given that Allied and
German leaders were meeting to arrange an
armistice. Saturday night, every word that
came from an authentic source added that the
news was based on runnor or inverted re-
port Some radio commentators in their zeal,
or misled by irresponsible sources, did say
that unconditional surrender had been offer
ed, but every announcement from respon-
sible source emphasized the news was I'M
confirmed in dependable and accredited quar-
tiers.
Notwithstanding this, the people shouted and
sang, and some fired shotguns and revolvers
in the air; many newspapers, seeing chance
for a quick harvest Of nickles, put out extra
editions, from San Francisco to New York, the
Gulf cities to New England; and the carnival
spirit prevailed undated until President Tru-
man announced from the White House that
all the rurnors Of Germanys surrender were
unfounded.
Never we think, has there been better
illustration of peoples willingness to believe
that what it wants more than anything else
has come to pass. AL America wants peace
in Europe All America, therefore, fell for
rurnor that peace had come.
Pray God America, and the world, may
not have to wait much longer. Peace is in
the making in Berlin, in north and south Ger
many, where resistance still continues, and
along the highways used by Allied forces
which are lined with German soldiers, unsur-
rendered but unfighting spectators OF
parade toward victory. The end OF war in
Europe must come quickly.

FOR SURRENDERED SONS

Like Thee, O heavenly Father,
we have offered up our sons for
the worlds redemption; and we

to Thee that we may be sancti-

are enlisted. Let this war do it's
purifying and ennobling work up
on our characters; so that we all
may learn to live daily for high
ends outside of ourselves. AS we
cry to Thee for victory, may we
never lose sight of the holy pur-

convictions for which he pleads
now with passion, now amusingly,
always effectively, and he stands
up for them regardless of what
