...night, so children couldn't hear them and have their little livers scared out of them, they gushed from Chicago's WMAQ and were beyond doubt the most goose-fleshing chiller-dillers in air history. At each broadcast's opening a deep, dark, dank voice would instruct listeners to put their lights out and settle back in their chairs, whereupon gore would commence to flow, bones to snap, screams and groans to rowel...
According to this editorial, the instructors are unprepared. This is an absurdity. The officers who instruct the courses are line officers of the Navy who have seen duty aboard naval craft and will see it again. These men know that which they teach; they have not only studied it, but much responsibility has depended on their knowledge. Any incapability would have caused their dismissal. When the editor stated that these officers were not trained for pedagogical work, he failed to consider that, as active officers, they were required to train the men beneath them. In addition, these men are older...
...destroyers, three gunboats, three coast-patrol vessels, twelve river gunboats, two transports. Not on the Caribbean, but close enough to the Panama Canal to be important, is Ecuador, with a small Army of 7,500, a potential war strength of 48,000. An Italian military mission, which had been instructing the Ecuadorian Army for 15 years, was sent home after Italy entered the war last summer. The U.

...them supposedly rubbernecking in Spain right now. Then there were "refugees," leaving Bessarabia when Russia moved in and taking up strategic refuge all over the Balkans. Then there were "official photographers"-22 of them recently reported in full Nazi uniform in Bulgaria. And now "instructors." In order to instruct the Rumanians in the arts of combat, the Germans were said to be sending three whole army divisions: 50,000 teachers equipped with $82,500,000 worth of war material. Rumania would learn a lesson from them which she would not soon forget. "Instructors" were also reported going into Bulgaria...
...Vedanayakam Samuel Azariah, Anglican Bishop of Dornakal. His diocese is the fastest-growing in the world for he touches India's untouchables. Finding their lot hopeless under the Brahmans, these outcasts have professed Christianity at the rate of 10,000 a year, as fast as the clergy could instruct them. Most of the money for this and other missionary work in India comes from the great British missionary boards-one of which, the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, sent out such famed 18th-Century missionaries to the U. S. as Methodist John Wesley, Episcopalian John Talbot...
