ON GERMAN ALLIES
WASHINGTON, June 4.—As fast
as the roll could be called, the Senate
voted unanimously Thursday to de
clare war against Bulgaria, Hungary
and Rumania, satellites of Nazi Ger-
many.
The House had taken similar action
Wednesday, and all that remains to
complete the record is for President
Roosevelt to sign the war resolution,
He had urged adoption of the resolu-
tions on the ground that the three
nations, who declared war against the
United States last December, were
preparing to expand their hostile ac-
tivities.
The Senate votes were 67 to 0 on
Bulgaria, 71 to 0 on Hungary and 74
to 0 on Rumania.

Battle Near Midway Island
Admiral Chester W. Ninytz, Texan

declared in reference to a naval battle
against Japan in-.the Midway Island
sector that as a result Pearl Harbor
has been partially avenged. “A mo-,
mentous victory is in the making,” he
declared. “The battle is not over.

Japanese sea power has been reduced
to impotence. We have made substan-
progress in that direction.” The

say what foods may be produced or
may not be produced, to determine
what commodities may be imported or
exported, and to allocate food sup-
plies among civilians, the armed
forces, and American allies. Besides
the Agriculture Department, the com-
mittee has representatives from the
State, War, and Navy Departments,
the Lend-Lease Administration, the
Board of Economic Warfare, and the
War Production Board Divisions of

damaged. One of our carriers was hit
and some planes lost. Our personnel
casualties were light. While Admiral
Nimitz reported that the battle was
continuing, the confidence and en-
thusiasm of his official reports indi-
cate that the engagement was a com-
plete victory for America. Midway
was attacked last Thursday morning
with an armada which included prac-
tically all classes of fighting ships.
Nimita’s reports on damaged Japanese
ships indicate that the task force, so
decisively repulsed, was a substantial
part of the Japanese Navy. Such an
attack by the Japanese indicates to
official quarters that Japan’s pur-
pose was to capture the Island, land
an invasion force, and establish a base
for future attacks upon Pearl Harbor
and the Aleutian Islands.

YOUNG MEN 18-19 MAY CHOOlSE
BRANCH OF ARMY SERVICE
There’s plenty of action for young
men of 18 and 19 in the Army and you
can choose your own branch of ser-
vice. For every red-blooded Ameri-
can who wants to serve his country,
this latest announcement by the Army
is good news. If you are 18 and not
yet 20 years old, and otherwise quali-
fied, you can now enlist for active
duty in any one of the eight combat
branches you select. The opportunity
choose will no longer be yours af-
ter you pass 20.
Perhaps you have been wishing you
could get into one special branch of
service where you can do the things
you like best. In the Infantry, for
example, there’s a chance to be a ski
trooper, a parachute trooper, a ma-
chine-gunner, or a specialist in one of
many other fields.

What is our conception of God? Do
we picture Him as a fellow-mortal?
Some seem to, for they seem to think
they can fool God as they do men.
Some try to alibi to God as they do
to others. God knows the difference
between a reason and an excuse.
Some try to ignore God as they would
a bore. Because God forces Himself
upon no man, they think they have
succeeded. Some even attempt to
bribe God and appease Him with
money. Peter told Simon the Sor-
cerer, “Thy silver perish with thee,
because thou hast thought to obtain
the gift of God with money.” The
Lord has use of our money, but not
as a substitute for our love and our
obedience. Let us study more care-
fully and revise our conception of
God.
