Warns Potential Enemies; Can Put
Eight Million Men Into Bat
tlefield at Once.
Rome, Feb. 26. In one of the most
beliggerent statements of his militant
career, Premier Mussolini Tuesday
thundered a warning to potential
enemies in Europe that he is ready
to throw between seven and eight
million soldiers into the field if war
should come.
This estimate of the legions Italy
could mobilize for instant action was
contained in a communique an
nouncing the concentration at Naples
of two new divisions to replace those
men now being filtered into Africa.
Stronger Than Ever.
To any powerful adversary believ
ing the dispatch of these soldiers
would leave Italy weakened and open
to attack, Mussolini made it plain
that the country is now stronger than
ever.
Ho did not mention by name the
imaginary enemy, but by referring in
passing to the Franco-Itlian agree
ments reached at Rome and the
Anglo-French agreements reached at
London, left the communique open
to the conclusion that it was aimed
at Germany.
France and Italy have given guar

'Peter Unmasks Falsehood and
Hypocricy."
Act3 5:1-6; S:lS-24.
It seems very strange and the Bible
ttudent is puzzled, perplexed, to find
in the first congregation a state of
effairs, as recorded in our lesson. May
we not forget that among the twelve
waa Judas and tares among the wheat.
But that does not explain the severity
cf the punishment for the offense.
Let us note that the punishment was
to be a detterent by fear, act as a
restraint, disheartening. It had a
ralutary effect "and great fear rame
rpon all the church, and upon as
many as heard these things."
We note further that the commun
ion of the early church had no scrip
tural authority, was a voluntary act,
hence it did not last long. This lesson
plays in Jerusalem and in the city of I
Samaria. The events in Chapter 5
took place in 31 A. D., while the
events in Chapter 8 took place a year;
later.
In leading up to the lesson, may
we examine cur hearts for any pos
sible sin in the category of spiritual
falsehood, i. e. taking vows when
uniting with the church that they do
r.ot keep. The context shows that to 1 lue nearcs CI tnc neuevers ana seai

Ananias had lied to the Holy Spirit,
who wa3 the guide and source of
power for the church and it was
within the church that this sin was
committed. The sin commonly ascrib

can read it in at least four vanity,

The second part of the lesson takes
us to Samaria. A great revival fol
lowed the preaching of Philip, the
deacon (Chap. 6:5). Peter and John
are sent by the. "mother church" to
investigate and report. They found
the revival in full swing "with won

D. A. R. Leader
Wants to Shield
the First Lady
Candidate for President General At
tempts to Keep Mrs. Roosevelt
From Being Campaign Issue
Washington. An attempt to pre
vent Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt from
becoming a campaign issue of the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion was made by Mrs. William A.
Decker, candidate for president gen
eral of the patriotic organization.
Apparently seeking to counter
check a move by her opponent Mrs.
Becker said in a statement she had
not meant a mere acknowledgment j
of a gift book which called Mrs.
Roosevelt a radical to be used as an
endorsement of the publication. She
said furthermore the blurb had been
used on the Jacket of the book with
out her permission.
Mrs. Becker's opponent for presi
dent general is Mrs. Flora Myers Gil
lentine of Chattanooga, Tenn., and
the latter had apparently referred
to the Mrs. Roosevelt incident in her
platform. Mrs. Becker said she de
cried "the attempt to inject the rad
ical issue" into the D. A. R. election.
Mrs. Gillentine's platform had said
"that the society should not be used
for dissemination of propaganda for
any outside groups," and that it op
posed "interjection of partisan and
political issues."
The blurb quoting Mrs. Becker was
discussed not long ago at a press con
ference by Mrs. Roosevelt. The pres
ident's wife at that time denied al
legations made about her in the book,
which criticized the new deal in
general.
The text of the blurb which quoted
Mrs. Becker, was: "The information
very valuable and I hope it will
stimulate many people to think more
about the destructive agencies in ouritJlffl vouth of the human race and that
m
idst. I v.Til be very glad to place a
review in the next issue of my na-
tional defense news which will be out
about the middle of August. I will
also be glad to recommend your book
to interested inquirers."
FORD BACK IN GOOD tJRACES
v
. Washington. As a definite step
toward ending the one-time feud be
tween Henry Ford and the NRA, the
war department sent the Detroit
manufacturers an invitation to bid
on 4.910 trucks and cars to cost ;
around 4 millions. Because he had .
declined to sign the NRA automobile!
ccde, Ford for many months was not
invited to bid on government pur
chases, or his bids were thrown out.
He va3 definitely invited along 'with
the code signers, however, to submit
figures on the present batch of cars
to be used by the civilian conserva
tion corps. In an authoritative quar
ter it was said that before March
28, when the bids are to be opened, j sensational setback by the state sen
army officials expect the NRA to have' ate
revised existing code compliance re
quirements so as to make a Ford bid
acceptable.

That Would Stop Declaration of
War Without a Vote.
Representative Levi3 Ludlow of
Indiana has endorsed House Joint
Resolution No.' 167 in the house of
rep:esentatives a3 an amendment to
the constitution as follows:
Section 1. Except in the event of
an invasion of the United States or
its territorial possessions and attack
upon its citizens residing therein the
authority of Congres3 to declare war
shall not become effective until con
firmed by a majority of all votes cast
therocn in a nation wide referendum.
Congress may by law provide for the
enforcement of this section.
Section 2. Whenever war is de
clared, the President shall immediate
ly conscript and take over, for use
by the government, all the public and
private war properties, yards, fac
tories and supplies fixing the compen
sation for. private properties tempor
arily employed for the war period at
a rate not in excess of four per cent
based on the tax values assessed in
the year preceding.
Every person interested in world
peace should write to the United
States senators and congressmen to
support this resolution. In speaking
of this resolution Congressman Lud-
, fow said there1 is only one force that
can put in the constitution this
amendment which means so much to
is the force of public opinion. With
other matters pressing hard upon
congress thi3 resolution probably
will make no progress unless . those
who favor it get active and show to
the law makers" that it is supported
and sustained by a great wide awake
nation-wide manifestation of public
sentiment. Patents must show while
they-are willing at all times to give
their precious sons for the defense of
the country they love they are not
willing that one American boy should
be 5acrificed to carry out the inhu-
man schemes of the professional war
promoters.

men and senators today expressing
your wish for' the adoption of this
resolution.

Governor Lacks
Power to Pick
Out New Funds
Attorney General Wright Gives the
Legislators Opinion on Relief
Measure Monday.
Attorney General Wright Monday
afternoon gave to the members of the
legislature, confused by disagree
ments and disputes over the powers
of the governor in the matter of con
trolling funds to be used, an' opinion,
the gist of which i3 that while he
may terminate the added gas tax of
a cent at any time, when given the
power to do so by the legislature, he
is without power under the constitu
tion to select the additional funds
which are to bo used to supplement
the gas tax and thus end it before
the full term for which it is appro
priated by the legislature.
In the house Cone sought unsuc
cessfully to have a request sent the
governor that he introduce a bill
specifically appropriating other spe
cial taxes that will yield a million
dollars, arguing that if he did not
the gas tax would run for the full
period and would provide the entire
two millions. He wants the gas tax
contribittion held to a million. This
was opposed on the ground that if
the governor was so inclined he
would send in a draft without being
asked to do so.
Cono premised his demand on the
contention the compromise effected
last week which permits the governor
to terminate the one-cent increase
in gasoline tax at his discretion is
without meaning. He pointer! out the
governor is empowered to take such
action only in the event that suffi
cient revenue becomes available from
other sources to meet relief needs,
emphasizing that under the present
form of th bill, there is no possibility
such funds would become available.
Cone also challenged the constitu
tional validity of delegation of legis
lative powers to tho chief executive
in permitting him to suspend the
gasoline tax increase at his own dis
cretion. Administration leaders were able
to beat down the Cone attack, only
to face a new challenge from Bailey.
Bailey moved to recall the measure,
H. R. C75, for specific amendment.
He proposed the act be amended to
place a check on allotments made
to counties in the form of a basis
founded cn individual county relief
loads. It lost 51 to 32.
The motion to recall the biil was
a signal for a storm of debate sim
ilar to the polemics which snarled
legislative efforts to solve the relief
question last week.
SHOT KILLS YOUNG WOMAN
Chicago. A 17 year eld expectant
mother, Mrs. Anna Solan, was shot
and killed, climaxing a quarrel be
tween her father and a cab driver
over a taxi bill. An emergency
Caesarian operation was performed
in an effort to save the life of the
unborn child, but the baby was dead.
Held and to be booked for murder,
police said, was the taxi driver, Theo
dore Prade, 36. He was identified by
the girl's mother, Mrs. Anna Junior,
40, as the person who fired several
shot3 thru a window into the Junior
home. Bullets struck Mrs. Solan in
the head and abdomen. The argu
ment started after Frank Junior, 43,
returned from a round of taverns.
The cab driver, who Junior said had
been drinking with him, came inside
the Junior home, attempting to col
lect $14.95.
Mrs. Junior said the steered the
cab driver out of the house, assuring
him of payment. She said she saw
him turn as he reached the cab, fire
hi3 revolver, and then speed away.
EILVEE DEMAND TO HEliEW
Washington. Nov congressional
demands for silver inflation legisla
tion approached cryctalization, coup
led with capital talk about the "re
volt" potentialities by a secret organ
ization of 100 democratic house mem
bers. Reports of a direct connection be
tween the two movements were de
nied. But many agreed the effect of
both would be to push thru legisla
tion not originally proposed by the
administration.
Representative Die3 (d., Tex.),
making clear he had no intention cf
upsetting administration plans, said
he would call a meeting of silver ad
vocates next week. "I'm going to
propose, ne said, tnai we ccmpei
the treasury to accept silver from
any source and pay for it with silver
dollars on new currency at the rate
of $1.23 per ounce instead of 53
