Aug. 18.—Air disarmament to prevent horrible devastation in the next war was urged by David i Lloyd George in an interview printed today in the London Evening Star. v Lloyd George discussed this week’s air maneuvers over London 'in an interview at Churt, Surrey, his home. He said: "It is horrible to think what war in the air will mean in the future. It will be devastation and annihilation —nothing else. It all shows pacts are not the slightest use unless you tackle disarmament. “In my last speech in the House of Commons I pointed out that the Kellogg pact and the Locarno treaty would be of no use unless we ruthlessly cut down firmaments. As long as countries are building airplanes for bombing men. women, children and defenseless cities and smashing their habitations, it is idle to talk about improved housing for the people.” Air Force for Defense By United Press MELBOURNE. Australia, Aug. 18. —The bulk of Australia defense funds in the next five years will be spent on the air force, it was indicated today. It has been decided already to build thirty-four machines each combining bombing and fighting capabilities.

SORE THROAT EPIDEMIC TRACED TO SINGLE COW Pasteurization of Milk Checks Fatal Malady in Bay State. Bn Science, Serrrec WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—The epidemic of septic sore throat which raged in a small Massachusetts town, where more than an eighth of the entire population suffered from the disease, is one more good argument in favor of pasteurization, according to the United States Public Health Service. The infection has been traced to a single cow that- had mastitis, a disease of the udders. As soon as the milk was pasteurized, no more cases were reported. Pasteurization would have prevented the entire outbreak. Nearly every community, large or small, that has provided for pasteurization of its milk supply has been driven to this measure by just such epidemics of milk-borne disease. Apparently communities, like human beings, refuse to profit by each other’s experiences.

M’ADOO MAY DESERT SMITH. ' BACK HOOVER Al’s Stand on Volstead Law Is Expected to Decide Californian. By RAY TUCKER EN ROUTE WITH HERBERT HOOVER, Aug. 18.—William G. McAdoo is expected to declare for Hoover if and when Smith ommits his presidential candidacy to tnodification of the Volstead act. Though McAdoo maintains silence at his home in Santa Barbara, which the Hoover party visited, he has announced he would make clear his position following delivery of Smith's acceptance address. McAdoo's friends, though denying their statements are insp’-ed. assert that he will desert his lifelong party, forget he was one a Democratic Cabinet member, and support the Republican nominee. But even to his most intimate associates, many of whom gave Hoover an enthusiastic welcome, McAdoo has not diclosed his intentions. In his home circles, however, there exists no doubt that he will assail Smith if the latter substitutes his modification plank for the dry pledge adopted at Houston. Most of McAdoo's political lieutenants already have announced their support of Hoover. But the most significant desertion, perhaps, is that of Thomas Storke, editor of the Santa Barbara News. He and McAdoo play tennis together, and the lattSr is almost a daily visitor to Storke’s editorial office. Shortly after Smith was nominated. Storke announced that his newspaper, though Democratic, would support a Republican presidential nominee for the first time. So far McAdoo has sent no letter of protest to the "Vox Populi” column.

MORRIS BRIDGE BIDS REGEIVED Contracts Probably to Be Let Next Week. Contract for erection of the Morris St. bridge over White River probably will be let next week, it was said today after the National doncrete Company turned in a low bid to the works board Friday afternoon. The concrete company’s bid on the city's specifications was 8403.000 and on those of the Luten Engineering Company, $388,000. The latter specifications call for open spandrels. Those of the city provide for the spandrels to be filled with conciete or a similar substance as in construction of the Kentucky Ave.. bridge over White River. Letting the contract will be one of the chief steps in the flood prevention program that has been outlined for this section of the river, calling for widening of the % river bed and construction of levees. The bridge will be a five-span structure with sixty-foot roadway and ten-foot, walks. The bridge will have a four-foot clearance above the water level of the 1913 flood. The same company was awarded the contract, by the Duvall administration works board, but this was rejected since there was no competitive bidding.

Sunday School Lesson

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Aus. lit. Paul Takes the Gospel to Europe. Acts 16:9-15. BY WM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The Congregationallst THE Macedonian call has become a symbol of appeal in urgent need; and this, as well as the dramatic occasion of the introduction of Christianity into Europe, has given a particular significance to this lesson. As yet, Paul’s ministry had been entirely in Asia. Starting out from Antioch, he had traveled extensively through Asia Minor preaching the gospel and establishing churches. After the first journey of this sort had been accomplished and Paul had returned to Antioch in Syria, the impulse to visit again the places where he had preached the gospel and to confirm the new disciples in the faith led to his second missionary journey.

Went With Silas On the first missionary journey he had been accompanied by BarnaDas, but when the second missionary journey was proposed he and Barnabas could not agree about the taking with them of John Mark, who. it seems, had left them during the first missionary journey under conditions which had incurred Paul’s censure. Whether or not John Mark was to blame in the matter we do not know. It seems rather doubtful, because Barnabas defended him. and John Mark has spoken for himself so far as his general ability and outlook are converned in the gospel that bears his name—the gospel of Mark. The contention between Paul and Barnabas over the matter, however, became so sharp that Paul separated from Barnabas and took, as his companion on this second missionary journey, Silas.

Paul and Silas had traveled through Asia Minor to its western coast as far as Troas, on the Aegean Sea. where a narrow waterway separated them from Europe. Troas was located about twenty miles from the Dardanelles and was near the site of ancient Troy. Here Paul had a remarkable dream. Possibly the sense of nearness to Europe may have been unduly emphasized in Paul's mind. We know how he was constantly reaching out in his adventurous way for any sense of conquest in the Gospel. It is possible that this influence, consciously or unconsciously affecting him. may have had to do with his dream or or vision in the night.

At any rate, he saw a man of Macedonia standing and urging him with the words, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.” Sensitive in every way to spiritual impressions and appeals, and with such a call quickening to response in Paul’s adventurous spirit, there was no doubt about the issue. Paul immediately laid his plans to go into Macedonia, and in a couple of days was at, its chief city. Philippi—a city named after Philip of Macedonia, the father of Alexander the Great. Here he met a company of Jewish people who were accustomed to meet for worship in an open place by the river side. Here at once Paul found a very notable convert in Lydia, “a seller of purple;” that is. a dealer in dyed goods, who probably was fairly well to do in a business way. She not only became a disciple but opened her home to Paul, manifesting that type of hospitality which has been so powerful a factor in the spread of the Gospel. Philippi was to be the scene of tragic and memorable experiences in the lives of Paul and Silas.

beginnings of Christianity there, recorded in our lesson, are of very great significar.ee, for it was to the Christians at; Philippi that Paul later addressed one of the deepest and noblest of his pastoral letters. A Great Gateway But beyond all this, Philippi is' significant as the gateway through which Christianity came into Europe. How profound an event that was! Like the discovery of America, or like some of those initial discoveries or inventions in the world of comi erce or science that have revolutionized the methods and ways of civilization. Here, however, was an initial event of supreme spiritual importance. It was the first step in the establishing in the western world of Christendom, and it meant the beginning within Christendom of those experiences which have enriched the nations and lands In which our lot and heritage are cast. Suppose that Paul had not answered the Macedonian call! How Afferent the history of the western world might have been. KELLOGG TO EUROPE Sails for Paris to Sign Arrti-War Pact.

BRITISH CAPTAIN DIED AT WHEEL OF SUBMARINE Soviets Arrange Military Honors for Crew of Forty-Three. BY EUGENE LYONS (United Press Staff Correspondent) MOSCOW. Aug. 18.—Commander C. M. S. Chapman complied with the traditions by the sea when hA went down at the wheel of the Brit* ish submarine L-55, it was revealed today. The submersible now is in dock at Kronstadt and it was disclosed here that skeletons of forty-three members of the crew had been found. The commander's body was at the wheel, just where he had been in the stirring' naval engagement of June. 1919, when a shell from a Russian warship sank the undersea craft. All of the skeletons were salvaged and probably will be returned to Great Britain. The Russian government first plans full military rites for the men. Rings and other personal effects were found upon the bodies in the submarine and they are being saved for the heirs. The Russian press today charged that the British Navy had hid the extent of its losses in the antisoviet campaign. Most of the newspapers pointed out that English naval books showed only "several” casualties.
