Paul Wengel Speaks Jo Professional Women's Club Declaring that democracy cannot be forced on the peoples of the world, but must be taught, the Rev. Paul Wengel, pastor of' the First Baptist Church, in his talk before the Adrian Business and Professional-Women's Club last evening, explained the important part the United States must play when peace comes. Mr. Wengel who visited Europe in 1934 told of the beauties of Ireland, Wales, England, Belgium and Germany, described the people of the different nations and in cases of Ireland and Wales, their exploitation by the Tory, power of England. He cited the undercurrent of social unrest in the streets of central Britain that year and prophesied that after the war the Tories would be out of power.

He told of the regimentation in Germany in that year when even the children in the kindergartens were taught to drill and play military games. "We must be an example to other nations by showing the spirit of democracy not the power of democracy," said Mr. Wengel. "We must prepare, when comes, to recognize the nations whose peoples have been struggling for centuries against oppression and poverty and who need what we can give we don't let it slip from our own hands."

Maybe that's why I got through the Civil War without a scratch and maybe that's why I'll be 100 years old tomorrow." Mr. Loop enlisted with the Union forces in the Civil War when he was 18 years old, serving with Company A of the 17th Michigan Infantry under Captain Comstock. After three years of service he was discharged and returned to Adrian. He was an iron worker for a few years and then became a railroad man, working between Adrian and Detroit. For several years he served as vice commander of the Woodbury post of the Grand Army of the Republic in Lenawee county and then later became commander of the G.

A. R. post at Sacramento, Cal. After he came back to Adrian in 1939 he became an honorary member of the Seymour Howell camp of Spanish War Veterans because he was the only active Civil War veteran around these parts. At Gettysburg In 1938 when he was a mere 95 years old Mr.

Loop was one of the "Boys in Blue" who went to Gettysburg, to observe the 75th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg. He was photographed many times with General John W. Harris of the Confederate-Army and his photograph appeared on the cover of News Week in one issue that summer. "I guess they had to use me for a subject," he said at the time, "because I was just about the only Union man able to walk to the battle field when the picture was taken." Mr. Loop walked across the same ground that Lincoln did that day years ago during the Civil War.

He gazed up at the big statue that marks the spot where Lincoln delivered his famous Gettysburg address and he must have absorbed something of Lincoln during that visit for when he gives the Gettys- ALLIED HEADQUARTERS North Africa, Jan. 13 Giraud, new high commissioner of French North and West Africa, and General Charles de Gaulle, leader of the Fighting French, will meet soon, a spokesman for General Giraud said last night as the assassination of Giraud's predecessor, Admiral Jean aDrlan, took on new undertones of mystery. Gen. Giraud's spokesman, disclosing that additional "personages of Algiers" had been arrested in the case and others arrested earlier had been released, said the investigation of Darlan's assassination Christmas Eve was being prosecuted "without consideration of the prominence of the persons involved, nor their political beliefs." The investigation, he said, was being made by military authorities. Asked if the Count of Paris, heading a French Monarchist group, had figured in the investigation, the spokesman said he could not discuss the trend of the inquiry.

"The murder of Darlan possibly was political," he said, "but the investigation and trial will be conducted merely as that of a criminal for a crime needing punishment." A young man described as a Frenchman whose mother lives in Italy already has been executed as the actual assassin in the killing of Admiral Darlan. The new personages arrested, it was pointed out, are in addition to the 12 seized New Year's Eve as instigators of a plot to kill Robert Murphy, President Roosevelt's personal minister in North Africa, General Giraud and others. The spokesman, in announcing the new arrests, said the assassination of Admiral Darlan appeared to have been the "result of a conspiracy in many directions." General Giraud, disclosing the arrest of the original 12, said that some of them were personal friends and some had assisted in the American occupation of North Africa. Announcing the forthcoming meeting of General Giraud and General De Gaulle, who has insisted that former supporters of the Vichy government be removed from their posts in North Africa, General Giraud's spokesman said that "many telegrams have been exchanged between Gen. Giraud and Gen.

De Gaulle with a view to reaching an agreement." DETROIT, Jan. 13 (IP) the tank has increased the pace on the battlefield, it is essential that the speed of the other elements ot the combat communication, support artillery: and likewise increased, Lt. Colonel Joseph M. Colby of the Army Ordnance Department asserted here today. Addressing the Society motive Engineers' war engineering production meeting.

Col. Colby said that Hitler's successes have been based "largely on his tank- aircraft team, where aircraft performs a basic mission of reconnaissance and of neutralization to enable his mechanized ground forces to move over enemy positions with minimum losses." Col. Colby has figured- prominently in keeping American ordnance equipment running in the far corners of the world. This, he said, was largely a problem of training, supply and maintenance, adding: "Of the'three essential elements, the most important and the element most likely to fail Is that of spare parts. The many campaigns in German or failed due to the failure of maintenance.

"The failure of maintenance has been due to the lack of provision of spare parts. To a certain degree the failure of spare parts has been due to production people back home who desire to measure their achievement for public consumption in the number of completed vehicles turned out, rather than the number of completed vehicles plus essential spare parts." Asserting that the greatest improvement that might now be made in simplifying the main tenance problem would be the simplification of the equipment to be maintained, Col. Colby said: "You can anticipate a great program leading to a standardization, not only of vehicles, but of components of those vehicles." Col. Colby, who spent several months as an observer with the British army in North Africa, praised the performance of American tanks in desert fighting.

By a process of elimination, advocates of a national lottery believe, their proposal may come close to being accepted this year. "There are few other revenue sources left untapped," commented Representative Knutson a high-ranking member of the Ways and Means Committee which writes all tax bills. "Outside of the sales tax, which a lot of people don't like, what have you?" Knutson estimates his lottery proposal would net a billion dollars a year profit for the government, which would handle -the drawings and all the appurtenances thereto. Drawings would be made monthly, with a top prize of $50,000 and a lot of smaller awards. "A billion dollars clear every year is not to be scoffed at," Knutson said.

"Of course, there's always the objection of some groups that the government should not encourage, let alone promote, gambling, but these people don't remember that government-controlled lotteries are nothing new." He declared he would insist that the committee give serious consideration to the proposal. Likewise, Chairman Sabath 111.) of the House Rules Committee said he would demand consideration of a lottery proposal which he said also would net an estimated billion dollars to the treas- gave a vivid story of history's longest paratroop attack in a letter read to employees of the Doug-, last Aircraft Co. Cheers from thousands of workers followed the reading yesterday of Gen. Arnold's letter, in which. he told how 44 Douglas port planes whisked the paratroops 1,500 miles from Great Britain to an airdrome 35 miles southwest of Tunis in North no stopovers.

Their perfectly-timed arrival resulted in the capture of the airport, which previously had been bombed and strafed, the letter said. Not a single transport was lost. "No parachute attack in history has been made over more than a fraction of this distance," Gen. Arnold by contrast, that the Nazis had to fly only 85 miles from Greece to Crete. "The dropping of troops had to be timed to the minute with the attacks made by bombers and fighters.

Some of these planes, incidentally, had arrived only a short time before from America. "During the past year the army air forces have assumed the offensive everywhere, and In this offensive the C-47s are invaluable. A year ago we were weak, today we are strong. "The transformation from weakness to strength came as a result of the loyalty and zeal of the men and women on the production lines."
