Corporal Finds Lost BottIe,'
Gains Stredmer for Sd Infantry

Through the efforts OF a
Brooklyn IN. " Army corporal,
the Sd Infantry Regiment-the
Regular Army's oldest active
regiment-will formally earn its
32d battle streamer.
While he was engaged in re-
search Corpl. Harvey Epstein,
the regiments historian, came
upon the fact that 700 Old
Guarders participated in 2l2
years of a war between the
United States and the Seminole
Indians in Florida between 1892
43.
Corpl. Epstein's catch was re-
layed to the Office of Military
History here, which confirmed
the 114-year-old oversight and
said that the red-and-black col
ored streamer should properly be
awarded to the Sd Infantry,
stationed at Fort Myer, Va, and
Fort Lesley j. McNair.
The streamer, the Army's Of
ficial recognition for participa-
tion in a battle or campaign,
will be presented later this year
to the regimental commander.

stick long under mans spiritual

The Graham follow up"
scheme, managed largely by
British collaborators, has quieted
some of this concern. About TO-
600 persons have come forward
at Graham meetings-"hitting
the SawduSt trail" it used to be
called. They are being steered to
British churches by counsellors
OF all Christian denominations
except the Roman Catholic.

instructive literature. Both are

see what's wrong.
GO Home" Letters.
Mr.. Graham's personal life in
London is not his own. He and
his wife. who also serves as one
of his counsellors at Harringay,
receive numerous invitations,
some of them from cranks. A
few letters have said Go home,
Billy" but most have been
friendly.
There have even been jovial
invitations to tayerns and Mr..
Graham, who has visited a pub,
may accept at least one. The
understanding is that he may
order his own drink, which may
be lemonade, and if the boys at
the bar want a discourse, he will
be prepared to give one. This
readiness to meet Britons in
their own surroundings seems to
be one OF the things that enable
Mr.. Graham to move people
the churches can't reach"
The original impression that
Mr.. Graham was coming here to
campaign against Socialism and
the Labor Party has been pretty
well dispelled. This impression
arose in part from an advertise
ment released before Mr.. Gra-
ham landed in England which
contained derogatory reference
to Socialism. Mr.. Graham
apologized and explained it was
an error-the word intended
was "Secularism.
Six Labor members of Parlia-
ment attended one of Mr.. Gra-
hams meetings in a group and
Godfrey de Freitas, leader of
parliamentary group of Social
lists who are earnest Christians,
called Mr.. Graham "a sincere
Christian whose presence can do
only good ="
British scholars agree sim
plicity accounts for Mr.. Gra-
hams ability to capture the
minds of average men.

big enough to burst the walls

The Archbishop of Canterbury,
DR.. Godfrey Fisher, said to Mr..
Graham at a recent tea:
"OppoSition to your crusade
has virtually disappeared"
Some of that opposition was
based on apprehension that Mr..
Graham was an American Hot
Gospeler." a type not highly
