Nazi Break With
Sweden Predicted
LONDON — (UP) — A Ger-
man broadcast quotes a Nazi
spokesman as saying German-
Swedish relations might be
broken off.
The spokesman bases his sug-
gestion on the belief that Swed-
en might make further hostile
moves such as her recent suspen
sion of merchant shipping in
some important territorial wat-
ers.

The stage is set, players are in
fine fettle, footba'l weather is
l ight and the curtain is going up
Friday night on the first home
game for the flashing Mustangs
who hope to trounce the Brown-
wood Lions the third year in a
row.
The Pony's number one threat
will be big Bill Lambert, (160)
Lions six-foot-four right end,
who can reach into the sky and
pick, off passes with greatest
ease. He also is an A-l punter and
gets around like a flash. Runn-
ing his close second is little Ross
Wilson, 144-pound quarterback,
who Coach Mack Alexander says
shows plenty of speed.
Although Polytechnic nipped
the Lions last week 18-7 Coach
Alexander said that he'd rather,
play Poly than the Lions, "If
they ever get lose." he comment-
ed, "they'll score."
Being groomed in powerhouse
tactics with a heavy line, com-
posed of mostly veterans, and a
passing attack led by Towner
Leeper and Bob Brown, the
Mustangs hope to execute from
the T and double wing back pos-
itions enough to stop the aggre-
gation.
Passing is being used more
thanever this year over district
SAA in view of the youthful
squads which are naturally
lighter and have to take to the
air for much of their yard gains.
Since the craze was born in tli<-
southwest it is nothing new here
and its spread to northern and
eastern squads is considered
amazing.
Sammy Baugh, whose , arm
won him fame from the time he
was a Mustang until last weei-:
when he laid down the pigskin
to come home to his ranch for
the remainder of the profes-
sional season, probably promot-
ed the general trent for passing
more than anyone in the history
of the sport.
The results have been re-
flected sharply where teams
have been built around a sta"
passer or two.
Should no scrimmage injuries
show up the Mustangs will be
suited out 100 per cent Frida.

ARNHEM, HOLLAND,
CLEVE, GERMANY
British Second army troops
have broken the German ring
around the Alliek sky army trap-
ped near Arnhem in Holland.
In peacetime, Arnhem is a
busy communication center of
some 78,000 people.
Railways connect the city with
Utrecht, and steamers plying
the Rhine run regularly from
Arnhem to Cologne, Armsterdam
and Rotterdam.
Situated on the right bank of
the Rhine, Arnhem is a pretty
city, with gardens and many
promenades.
One of its oldest churches has
a chime of 45 bells, antl many of
its churches are centuries old.
Its town hall was built, in
the 15th pentury as a palace for
the dukes of the province of
Gelderland—of which Arnhem
is the captial.
In the city's public library are
many old Works of medieval
learning, and the remains of
long-ago civilizations that lived
and fought near Arnhem.
In the days of the Romans,
the settlement was known as
Arenachum.
But the Romans • iid not con-
sider the town important enough
to fortify. Its fortifications were
built by Otto the Second in the
13th Century.
In 1478, Charles the Bold of
Burgundy captured the town,
Antl in the loth century, the
Dutch and the Spanish fought
for Arnhem. A century later, the
French and Dutch fought there.
In 1813, it, was stormed antl cap-
tured by the Prussians.
Modern Arnhem is an import-
ant market center.
Its main exports are woolen
goods and tobacco.
Its most important industries
are wool-combining and dyeing.
Another unit of American first
army troops is driving toward
the town of Cleve—the northern
anchor of the German Siegfried
line.
Cleve is only 40 miles north-
west of tile German industrial
center of Dusseldorf, antl is sit-
uated on the main Colonge-Ams-
terdam railway.
In peacetime, its population
averages around 22,000 people,
and its main manufacture are
boots and shoes.
Because of the nearby mineral
springs, Cleve in peacetime is
a favorite summer resort for both
continentals and British.
As early as the 11th century,
the Counts of Cleve founded
the city known now as Cleve.
Through the Middle Ages, the
town passed back and forth be-
tween the French and Germans,
antl at one time parts of the
Duchy of Cleve belonged to Hol-
land.
Even now, the Dutch influen-
ce is seen in the town.
Lying on three hills in a fer-
tile district near the Dutch fron-
tier and about two miles
the Rhine river—most of
houses antl buildings are
in typical Dutch style.
Here, a modern traveler is
shown the old castle of Schwan-
enburg, which was associated
with the legend of the "Knights
of the Swan" — immortalized in
"Lohengrin."
But in modern times, the old
castle— now restored — serves
as a court of justice and as a pri-
son.
Siron—the battle lor Cleve will
be one of the important battles
for the Siegfried line.

lt is a truth all too often
erlooked that there can be no
knowledge of God's will beyond
what he has seen fit to reveal to
men. Only as God's has express-
ed his will concerning men can
men know or understand what
God desires at the hands of
man. Men cannot read the mind
of God anymore than they can
accurately read the minds of
their fellows. This revelation of
God to man is the Bible. God
has spoken to man. In times
past he spoke to the fathers by
the prophets in divers portions
and in divers manners. In these
days God has spoken to us in
his Son. The Son himself affir-
med that what he spoke was the
dictates of the Father. Reatl
Christ in .John 12:48-50. "He that
rejecteth me, and receiveth not
my sayings, hath one that judge-
til him, the word that I spake,
the same shall judge him in the
last day. For I spoke not from-
myself: but the Father that sent
me, he hath given me a com-
mandment, what I should say,
and what I should speak. Antl I
know that this commandment
is life eternal, the things there
; the
SI I I
the
lore
Father
speak,"
Even the
speak orc
1 speak, even a
said unto me.
Christ then did not j
land merely on his
own origination. Mis revelation'
of God given to me was dictated
by the Father. And this is not )
strange for even with men none |
can know the mind of a man ex-
cept as that man reveals it him- [
self. Antl that by the spoken or 1
written word. Shall we not rec-
ognize antl acknowledge there [
fore that there can not be any
faith in things pertaining to
God and His will except as we.
find the evidenet
God, the Bible.
